"Old Duke, do you think they are a good match?" Qu Moying asked after a moment of silence.
"Grandfather thinks they are a good match. Princess Xiangrong is from a royal family, but she has a good temper, unlike other princesses in the royal family. Princess Changyu is also smart. Over the years, the relationship between the princess and her husband has been very good. Unlike other princesses, she would make trouble from time to time and is very dedicated to her duties."
Qi Xiangyu lowered her voice.
"Your cousin is a promising man. Although he is young, he is highly appreciated by the Emperor. Although his current position is not high, and there are not many people from the Yue family in the capital, there is not much support, but this is exactly what the Emperor likes. He is not just someone else, but also smart and capable. He is a practical man. In the future... he can be used."
Qu Moying lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously plucked the handkerchief he was pointing at. The so-called future, of course, meant leaving Yue Wenhan to the next monarch. Now that Yue Wenhan was not in a position, he might be more useful in the future.
It is indeed a good thing to be with such a young talent of the future.
According to the literal meaning, it seems that this marriage should be possible. Princess Changyu will be compatible with Zhong Yue Wenhan, but what about Princess Xiangrong
Qu Moying knew that Princess Xiangrong liked Prince Yan!
"This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Qu Moying said tactfully.
"What's inappropriate about it? Are you afraid that the princess will not agree? Don't worry, Princess Changyu is smart and will definitely agree." Qi Xiangyu smiled. She also knew Princess Xiangrong and thought that Princess Xiangrong was a good person. If she could be a good match for Yue Wenhan, it would be a great thing.
On the surface, it seems that Yue Wenhan is marrying above his station, but for Princess Changyu, Yue Wenhan is the best candidate for son-in-law she can choose.
"Well... I think my cousin hasn't gotten engaged for all these years, maybe he has someone in his heart!" Qu Moying said after a moment of silence.
"That's possible. That's why grandpa wants you to help ask. It won't be good if grandpa comes to our house rashly." Qi Xiangyu said, her eyes falling on Qu Moying's heart. She sighed helplessly in her heart. She was forced to say such words in front of Qu Moying.
Her grandfather was determined to make friends with the Yue family, and she also wanted to get closer to Qu Moying. She didn't know why, but she always felt that her grandfather was trying to please Qu Moying in this matter.
What exactly happened between my family and Qu Moying? Why do my grandparents always speak in a flattering manner when they mention Qu Moying? What's wrong
"Okay, I'll ask my cousin what he thinks for you!" Qu Moying thought about it and nodded.
We should indeed ask Yue Wenhan for his opinion on this matter. If the old Duke rashly comes to us and then refuses us for other reasons, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
"Then thank you for your help." Qi Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief, finally completing what her grandfather had entrusted to her.
"You've helped me a lot during this period. There won't be much work left, so you don't have to come here all the time." Qu Moying thanked him.
"It's okay. I don't have anything to do in the mansion anyway, and I have no one to talk to. It's not bad to come over and talk with you and help you tidy up." Qi Xiangyu shook her hand and smiled.
Seeing that she really didn't care, Qu Moying was still grateful in his heart, but he didn't refuse.
She had already made up her mind about the relationship between her and the Duke of Qi's Mansion, but the Duke of Qi's Mansion was the Duke of Qi's Mansion, and Qi Xiangyu was Qi Xiangyu. The things of her previous life had nothing to do with Qi Xiangyu. Qi Xiangyu's sincerity was not the only thing that mattered to her.
Treating each other with sincerity, Qu Moying is naturally sincere as well.
The two of them chatted and laughed, and didn't realize that time passed quickly.
"Miss, you can go back now! You have other things to do." Qi Xiangyu's maid looked out the window and whispered in Qi Xiangyu's ear.
This reminded Qi Xiangyu, and she stood up suddenly: "Ah, I really have to go."
"Don't you want to have lunch?" Qu Moying asked in surprise. She thought that since it was a rare opportunity to go out today, it would be best to have lunch outside and leave.
"No, I can't do it today. I still have to go to my aunt's house." Qi Xiangyu shook her hands.
"At this time... do we still need to go there?" Qu Moying asked casually with a smile.
"It's my cousin. Didn't she say she was going to hold a banquet? She asked me to go over and said she might need to borrow some things from the mansion and asked me to help her with some advice." Qi Xiangyu said.
Although she didn't like this cousin who had been too thoughtful since childhood, she was her cousin after all, and the future Crown Princess, so Qi Xiangyu had to go.
"Is there something missing for the banquet?" Qu Moying raised an eyebrow. "Does the reply post require anything special?"
"Palinary posts do require something special. Although palindrome posts can be appreciated, they are drawn at an early time and cannot express a person's level at that time. It would be better if there were some talents. This time, my cousin wants to build a flower stand."
"Flower stand? Are you going to hold such a big banquet?" Qu Moying was shocked. She really hadn't arrived yet. She originally thought that even if Liu Jingyu wanted to hold it, he would only invite a small number of people and hold it quietly.
With such a big fanfare, it doesn't look like something that can be done quietly by just a few people.
"That's what they said, but I don't know the details. I'll tell you after I ask my cousin." Qi Xiangyu couldn't wait any longer. They had agreed to have lunch at Liu's house. "Fourth Miss, I'm leaving first."
Qu Moying nodded with a smile, stood up and walked her to the stairs. He watched her leave in a hurry before turning back.
Before she stepped into the private room, a maid came over, took two steps forward and bowed respectfully to Qu Moying: "Fourth Miss Qu, I am from the mansion of the General of the State."
"What's the matter?" Qu Moying stopped and looked at the maid indifferently. When she came out of the private room just now, she saw the man standing at the door of a private room diagonally opposite to where the maid entered.
What a coincidence!
"Our young lady would like to invite Miss Qu Si to come over for a chat!" the maid said respectfully.
Qu Moying was silent for a moment, but did not refuse. He walked towards the box diagonally opposite. Yu Dong's face looked a little nervous. As if sensing his nervousness, Qu Moying stopped and glanced at him with a smile. His eyes were as clear as water, peaceful and calm as he smiled.
Yudong slowly relaxed, paused slightly, and followed Qu Moying closely, like an ordinary maid.
"Miss Qu Si!" Liu Lanxin had already arrived at the door. Seeing Qu Moying coming over, she bowed gracefully, and Qu Moying also returned the bow.
Two people came in and sat down on the chairs.
"I just heard that Miss Qu Si was here, so I wanted to meet her. I wonder if I disturbed her?" Liu Lanxin asked with a smile.
The two people haven't seen each other for a while, and when they meet again, they are no longer the same as when they first met.
"No problem, I just came here to see the fun." Qu Moying said calmly
road.
"Today the Three Top Scholars are parading through the streets. I had nothing to do at home, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect Fourth Miss Qu would also come to watch the fun. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Fourth Miss Qu to join us. I have been in the capital for a long time, and Fourth Miss Qu is the only person I am familiar with." Liu Lanxin said with a smile.
Qu Moying didn't feel that the two of them were familiar with each other. They had met only a few times, and their meetings were not pleasant at all. He didn't know where this so-called sense of familiarity came from.
He smiled faintly, his expression indifferent: "Miss Liu, you are too polite!"
"I'm not being polite. This is the truth. I've been in Beijing for so long, but I haven't met many people. I don't know how to socialize. Apart from Fourth Miss Qu, I haven't met many people. I'm sure Fourth Miss Qu will laugh at me." Liu Lanxin said with a wry smile, "If anything happens, I have to handle it by myself. It's far from being like other people who can find many people to help me."
"Miss Liu is in trouble?" Qu Moying's heart moved.
"It's not a difficult problem. In fact, this matter is related to Jingyu County Lord." Liu Lanxin lowered her head, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"I'm actually not very familiar with County Lord Jingyu. I wonder if Miss Qu Si could introduce me to County Lord Jingyu?" Liu Lanxin said with a wry smile.
"Lord Jingyu's banquet is just around the corner. If Miss Liu wants to go, she can ask Lord Jingyu for a notice." Qu Moying saw it and smiled faintly.
"I heard that this is some kind of palindrome banquet. The number of posts was decided long ago, and the palindrome posts have to be drawn. These are not my forte. I'm at the border, and I don't understand some of the skills of the ladies from aristocratic families, so it's difficult for me to be present in such a formal occasion." Liu Lanxin shook her head, feeling helpless.
As the daughter of a military general, who has always been on the border, she is considered a heroine. Even if people don't understand these things, no one would say that Liu Lanxin's words sound like self-deprecation. Only when you listen carefully, you will find that there is a hint of sarcasm in them.
"Although the main post for the Huiwen Banquet has been set and must be replied to, there is no limit on the number of other posts. It depends on how many the organizer posts. Jingyu County Lord has invited quite a few people this time. If Miss Liu is interested, you can send someone to contact Jingyu County Lord and ask if there are any more posts."
Qu Moying listened to it, but his eyes did not show any ripples.
Although Liu Lanxin was unwilling to attend the banquet and was a little indifferent by nature, it did not mean that other people would not give her invitations. With her current status, it would only make sense for her not to go if others gave her invitations, and there was no reason for others not to give her invitations.
Especially Liu Jingyu.
Liu Jingyu almost married King Jing before, so she should avoid suspicion and send the note to Liu Lanxin at this time. It is Liu Lanxin's decision whether to come or not, and it is Liu Jingyu's business whether to send it or not.
In order to show that she has no relationship with King Jing, how could she not send the note from Liu Lanxin!
But the Miss Liu in front of him was very strange, as if she really had nowhere to turn to. It was a very weird feeling. She clearly saw the door, but she didn't go in. Instead, she found herself in another place, as if to help her open another door in the wall.
"After all, Lord Jingyu and I are not familiar with each other. Would it be inappropriate to send someone over at this time?" Liu Lanxin lowered her head, holding the handkerchief in her hand, and said hesitantly.
"What does Miss Liu mean?" Qu Moying asked according to her question.
"Can you ask Miss Qu Si's maid to go to Liu Mansion with my maid so that I can ask Jingyu County Lord for a letter?" Liu Lanxin raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Miss Qu Si with some intention. "If Miss Qu Si can help introduce me, it should be... easier!"
