The news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually slept in the study on his wedding day spread silently, and it was also said that the daughter of the General Auxiliary State caused some incident in the Crown Prince's residence. No one knew what it was, but it was said to be related to the Crown Princess's dowry. Afterwards, Miss Liu specially apologized to the Crown Princess.
Another story goes that King Jing also sent several famous paintings to the Prince's Mansion as an apology.
The future Princess Jing did not seem to be a very perceptive person, as she was able to cause such a big trouble during the Crown Prince's wedding and even trouble her future husband to take the blame for her.
In the capital, the daughter of the auxiliary general and the future Princess of Jing always gave people the impression of being polite and low-key. Even though she was betrothed to Prince Jing, she did not make a big show of it. Such behavior made people look up to her and feel that Miss Liu was indeed different from other ladies in the capital. She had a steady personality and did not have the slightest intention of being ostentatious.
Many people are secretly comparing Liu Jingyu and Liu Lanxin, and some even think that Miss Liu looks more down-to-earth and decent.
But now, many people are doubting whether this Miss Liu is really a good person, a low-key person, or is just pretending to be so.
What kind of person could do such a thing, be so disrespectful that he would apologize to the Crown Princess for her dowry during the eldest son's wedding? What kind of young lady could do such a thing without knowing the seriousness of the matter? And shouldn't the Crown Princess' dowry be packed in a separate place? How did he bump into it
The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace is not one where one can wander around as he pleases, and the Crown Princess's dowry is not just piled up on the street. How did she do it
Some people suspected that she did it on purpose or that she was just ignorant of etiquette.
Some people also suspected that it was related to the new Crown Princess. Otherwise, why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be so angry that he didn't even enter her courtyard and would rather sleep alone in the study on his wedding night...
All the rumors were directed at the two of them. Upon hearing the rumors, Liu Jingyu's eyes became red and swollen, and she smashed the teacup in front of her.
She waited for the whole night yesterday, but the prince did not come. She asked someone to ask, and was told that the prince had something to do in the evening and asked her to go to bed early.
It was only the first night after she married into the Eastern Palace, and she was treated so coldly. How would people view her
No matter how much Liu Jingyu had planned, she couldn't help crying at this moment. The maids persuaded her for half the night before she finally cried herself to sleep. When she woke up early this morning, her eyes were red and swollen, and she felt very weak. She heard that there were even rumors outside that she had fallen out of favor, and she was so angry that she couldn't even drink the porridge.
Fortunately, Pei Luoan appeared in front of her again with a gentle and calm expression. When she saluted, he even helped her gently and said gently: "It was my fault yesterday. I recalled some bad memories. If I have neglected you, I hope you will not be angry."
These words were spoken extremely gently, completely different from the way Pei Luoan left in a hurry yesterday. The anger in Liu Jingyu's heart turned into grievance, and tears fell again.
Pei Luoan helped her sit down, spoke softly and tenderly for a while, then looked at the eggs she had prepared for hot compress and applied it to her for a while.
Then he presented his accompanying gift.
The couple then recovered their harmony. After Liu Jingyu used a peeled hard-boiled egg to reduce some of the swelling, he put on his clothes again and looked much better than before.
The two wives then happily went into the palace to pay their respects to the Emperor, the Empress, and the ladies of the various palaces.
Liu Lanxin also heard the news from outside, and was so angry that she smashed a few pieces of porcelain, her face full of anger. She never thought that what happened yesterday would be spread like this.
Isn't there Qu Moying? Why is there no Qu Moying's affairs, only her affairs.
Why should she have to suffer this alone? She was unwilling to accept it.
"Someone, go and tell the public that this matter is also related to the fourth young lady of the Qu family. She was the one who led me there." Liu Lanxin slammed the table angrily. She couldn't stand this anymore.
"Miss, don't be impulsive. If this story is really spread like this, others may not believe it." The maid advised in a low voice.
In this incident, Miss Qu Si only appeared in the beginning. As for the apology afterwards, Miss Qu Si was not there. If it was said to be Miss Qu Si's fault, others would only wonder why it was not Miss Qu Si who accompanied her own lady to apologize in the end. This rumor would sound very fake.
"Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Jing also wants us not to involve Miss Qu Si." Looking at her young lady's stern face, the maid continued to persuade her.
His Royal Highness Prince Jing's meaning was very clear. Fourth Miss Qu was a victim and should not be involved at this time. He had even specifically told his own young lady about this, and the young lady had agreed at the time. Now he was so angry after hearing the rumors outside that he wanted to push Fourth Miss Qu out.
"Does this have nothing to do with her? I don't believe it!" Liu Lanxin gritted her teeth.
"Miss, whether you believe it or not, she really didn't lead us there at that time. It was the maid from the East Palace. That maid must be the servant of a master in the East Palace." The maid continued to persuade, fearing that Liu Lanxin would act impulsively. She saw clearly what King Jing meant yesterday.
It's clearly a warning.
This was the first time that Prince Jing showed such an expression to the young lady, and the maid, as a bystander, saw it clearly.
Before going to Beijing, the general repeatedly instructed that this was the capital, and no matter how bad the lady's temper was, she had to endure it at this time and could not really act recklessly.
"Why does Qu Moying do that?" Liu Lanxin asked in annoyance.
"Miss, she will be the Princess of England." The maid reminded in a low voice that since the Fourth Miss Qu has the King of England behind her, no one should look down on her. Even His Royal Highness the King of Jing would have to praise the Fourth Miss Qu a little when talking about her.
"She is nothing but a disaster ward." Liu Lanxin said contemptuously, "Who knows when she will lose her life."
"Miss, no matter who she is, she is now going to be the Princess of England. Just for this reason, no one dares to look down on her." The maid continued to persuade her, knowing that her young lady was not convinced.
"Hmph, what's the point of having a good reputation? It's all fake to say you're not favored." Liu Lanxin laughed out of habit.
"Miss, you should make friends with her now, not make an enemy of her. A small fourth lady of the Qu family is nothing, but her future status will be extraordinary." The maid reminded her.
Liu Lanxin fell silent after hearing this. She knew that what she said just now was a bit too impulsive, but those rumors were too ugly to hear and she couldn't bear it for a moment.
She knew from the beginning that Qu Moying was the one she wanted to be friends with, but sometimes she couldn't help but follow her own thoughts.
"I know... but right now there is so much talk outside
It's hard to hear, but we can't just do nothing and wait!" After thinking about it, she still felt that she couldn't bear it.
"Miss, it's best not to do anything now, just be on good terms with Miss Qu Si. King Jing means that you have to give Miss Qu Si a gift." The maid reminded again.
Liu Lanxin lowered her head, tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, then slowly relaxed, tightened her jaw and clenched her teeth, and slowly said: "Okay, I will take care of this matter. When Qu Moying gets married, I will give her another big gift as an apology for her sin."
Liu Lanxin felt very aggrieved when talking about this matter. Until now she still hasn't figured out who harmed her. Qu Moying is a suspect, and Liu Jingyu is also a suspect, but she still has to apologize to them.
She was unwilling to give up. She had to do something for Qu Moying. She was the real phoenix. Qu Moying and Liu Jingyu were nothing to her. With the phoenix-head guqin by her side, Liu Lanxin was very confident. She felt that everything she did was God's will. The current failure was only temporary.
Didn't the ancients make people suffer mentally and physically before they could be entrusted with a great task
She can bear this setback...
The disturbing rumors outside also reached Qu Moying's ears. Qu Moying just smiled faintly. She was cleared so cleanly in this matter. Needless to say, it must be Pei Yuanjun's hand. Otherwise, even if she was really innocent, she would not have been pulled out as a target.
One of them is the new Crown Princess, and the other is the daughter of the auxiliary general and the future Princess Jing. If she was just an ordinary lady, she would really have to be at the bottom of the list.
The dowry list was reorganized and sent over. After Qu Moying confirmed it again, he asked people to start sending the dowry.
Originally, her dowry was not as much as Liu Jingyu's, and Qu Moying had no intention of exceeding Liu Jingyu's, but Pei Yuanjun sent someone to add more to her dowry, so that she suddenly had the same number as Liu Jingyu.
This is not actually impossible. On the one hand, Liu Jingyu's Crown Princess is a second marriage, and a second marriage must pay more attention to the rules in the royal family and cannot violate her status. Moreover, after Liu Jingyu did not pay homage to the Empress Yuan's spirit tablet, she was regarded as a lower-ranking Crown Princess among the royal family.
Qu Moying is the Princess of England, and cannot be compared to the former Crown Princess. However, she has paid homage to the tablet of Empress Yuan and has been recognized by the Emperor. She is also the legal wife of the Crown Prince's uncle. Based on this point, her dowry is equal to that of Liu Jingyu, and not many people would think it is wrong.
The dowry was carried out, one load at a time, and the ten-mile-long red dress was sent out.
The people who sent the dowry were from the Liu Mansion, and they were escorted by people from the Ying Palace. And today, it was not just the Ying Palace that came. The Jingzhao Yin sent more people to escort it, for fear that the incident that happened that day when the Crown Princess sent her bride would happen again.
Because of the issue of the Crown Princess' dowry, both the Jingzhao Yin and the Ministry of Justice were scolded. In fact, although the Jingzhao Yin also sent people that day, the Crown Prince's Mansion said that there was no need to worry about them because they were in the way. In the end, when something went wrong, they were blamed and they felt it was unfair.
There can be no mistakes this time.
With such strict precautions, I always thought that nothing would happen again this time, but in the end, something happened again. When Jingzhao Yin got the news and rushed over sweating, he found that there was already an adult who had arrived earlier than him and was already there...
