Seeing that Qu Moying was angry and embarrassed, Pei Yuanjun did not push his luck any further. He stood up first, washed up, and then sat aside waiting for Qu Moying to get up.
Yuchun and Yuxiu came in to serve Qu Moying. Pei Yuanjun did not leave either. He sat in a chair nearby, waiting with a lazy look on his face.
When Qu Moying got out of bed, she almost fell down. Pei Yuanjun reached out and supported her. He looked at her face and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Qu Moying's face turned red, she bit her lip, shook her head vigorously, pushed him away and went to the side to take a shower and change clothes.
The room next to it was connected to a wing room, which was a little bigger than the average house. There was a bathing pool there. Qu Moying soaked in it for a while before feeling much better. He then helped Yu Chun to get up.
After washing up, she looked at the sky outside, her face still a little hot, "My Lord, isn't it too late?"
She was so exhausted that she slept so late. Plus, she had to wash and dress in the morning, and she felt that she didn't have much time.
On the day of the first recognition of relatives, there can be no room for carelessness.
"It's okay, it's still early." Pei Yuanjun said lazily. He just leaned back, waiting for Qu Moying, not in a hurry. He even picked a hairpin and handed it to Qu Moying, "Wear this one."
"Will this one violate the rules?" Qu Moying looked at the phoenix hairpin that Pei Yuanjun presented to her. Her long eyelashes curled up and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. There were quite a few phoenixes on it, seven of them as a hairpin, hooked with gold threads. It was small and exquisite, yet looked noble and gorgeous, very unusual, and it didn't look like the latest one.
It should be a piece of jewelry that I have owned for a long time and brought for my own use? An old item of Princess Yun
The Nine Phoenixes is worn by the Queen, and the Seven Phoenixes can only be worn by the Crown Princess.
Ordinary princesses can only use the Five Phoenix when they are putting on heavy makeup. It is obviously inappropriate to use it at this time.
"This is Wu Feng, how come it's against the rules?" Pei Yuanjun said disapprovingly.
After hearing what he said, Qu Moying took a closer look and realized that she had really seen it wrong. The two phoenixes on the edge looked like phoenixes, but in fact they were somewhat different from the phoenixes in the middle. At first glance, they looked like seven real phoenixes, but in fact they were other birds without phoenix feathers on their heads.
One can tell at first glance that this craftsmanship is a masterpiece from the palace, otherwise it would be difficult to carve just one phoenix, let alone so many.
"Please wear it!" Pei Yuanjun carefully inserted the hairpin into her hair. In order to avoid hurting her hair, he also pressed her head gently.
After it was plugged in, he smiled at Qu Moying in the diamond-shaped mirror and said, "Look, isn't it ready?"
Qu Moying reached out and pressed the phoenix hairpin on her hair, her eyes full of smiles, and nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Since he gave it to her, she just wore it...
On the way to the palace, Qu Moying felt drowsy and leaned towards the carriage beside her. Pei Yuanjun reached out and took her into his arms, whispering in her ear: "If you feel sleepy, just sleep a little longer."
"The hairpin on my head..." Qu Moying reached out and touched the headdress on her head, fearing that her hair would be messed up after sleeping.
"It's okay. I'll help you watch." Pei Yuanjun smiled, reached out and gently touched her face, then put his hand on her shoulder and patted her gently: "Go to sleep, I'll call you when it's time."
After hearing what he said, Qu Moying could no longer bear it, and she closed her eyes and leaned into Pei Yuanjun's arms, falling into a deep sleep again. Her body was originally weak, and she didn't sleep much last night. Now that Pei Yuanjun said this, she
It is a sweet sleep.
The carriage fell silent. Pei Yuanjun lowered his eyes with an ambiguous look in them. He stretched out his slender fingers and gently traced Qu Moying's charming face, as if he wanted to depict the person in front of him into his heart.
Slowly, his eyes fell on the phoenix hairpin on Qu Moying's head, and his originally lazy gaze became a little cold...
The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and Qu Moying was awakened. He reached out and touched the top of his hair. It was still very smooth and looked like it was not messy at all.
"It's not messy, don't worry." Pei Yuanjun smiled slightly, his eyes fell on the top of Qu Moying's hair again, and then slowly said, "This hairpin belongs to Empress Yuan."
Qu Moying was stunned, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, but finally put it down: "Does it matter?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if someone recognizes me, they won't say anything." Pei Yuanjun curled the corners of his lips. His appearance has always been extremely handsome, and he was at the peak of his career. His smile in the past also looked gentle, but this time his smile was somewhat sinister and dark.
Qu Moying reached out and held his hand, squeezing it hard.
Although her hand was too small to wrap around his big hand, he could clearly feel that she was trying hard to wrap his hand.
Pei Yuanjun suddenly laughed, a genuine laugh, "This hairpin will be yours from now on, you can use it however you want, but some people may ask more questions or make more plans for you."
"No problem!" Qu Moying said.
Pei Yuanjun stopped talking, and suddenly hugged Qu Moying again, patted her back gently, then let her go and got off the carriage first.
When Queen Qu Moying got off the carriage, her body was empty just as it reached the shaft, and Pei Yuanjun carried her down from the carriage.
When her feet touched the ground, Pei Yuanjun brushed a strand of hair from her forehead to her ear and whispered, "If anyone bullies you later, don't be polite. I will take responsibility for it."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qu Moying smiled brightly.
All the shyness and other embarrassments I had before were resolved by his words.
Not saying some things does not mean hiding them. In fact, the direction of many things is not meant to be hidden from anyone, but sometimes you can't say it just when you want to.
The two men went into the palace and went to see the emperor first.
In the imperial study, the emperor had urged Li Quan several times. When he saw the two of them coming, Li Quan hurried over to greet them: "King Ying, Princess Ying, you are finally here. The emperor has sent this old servant to ask several times."
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to do today?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It's not that I have nothing to do, I just want to see the prince and princess." Li Quan smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "The emperor woke up early in the morning and asked when the prince and princess would enter the palace."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the imperial study.
Qu Moying followed Pei Yuanjun into the door, and the couple bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the emperor in the middle.
"Okay... okay, everyone get up, everyone get up." The emperor's face was full of smiles today, and he looked much more energetic than usual. After giving them all his strength, he asked them to get up.
When Qu Moying stood up, her legs accidentally went weak. Fortunately, Pei Yuanjun helped her up and helped her stand steadily.
The emperor's gaze fell on the two of them, with satisfaction in his eyes.
In terms of appearance, the fourth young lady of the Qu family is indeed the most suitable for the King of England. The two of them standing there are a perfect match. The emperor feels that there is no one more pleasing to the eye than these two.
This British princess was born
She was not tall, but her manners were graceful and elegant. She stood there and let herself be looked at without panic. She just stood there smiling and respectful. She looked more well-behaved than the current Crown Princess.
With a good fate and a good person, it is no wonder that Pei Yuanjun agreed. The emperor nodded secretly. After his joy, he felt sad again. The child finally got married, and the big stone in his heart was mostly lifted off the ground. As for the rest, he would guide him step by step.
When he raised his eyes, he saw the hairpin on Qu Moying's hairline. He didn't know why, but he looked at it a few more times. When he saw the hairpin clearly, his face changed drastically. He reached out and pressed the corner of the desk, and wanted to stand up.
As soon as Li Quan saw his expression, he knew something was wrong, and hurried forward and whispered, "Your Majesty."
The emperor sat down slowly, looked at Qu Moying, then looked at Pei Yuanjun, and finally said: "Now that you are married, you are an adult from now on. You can no longer be as willful as before."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand." Pei Yuanjun said with a smile.
"It's getting late. You should go see the Queen first and come back later. I have something to tell you." The emperor put his hand on his brow. The dull feeling there made him realize once again that he was old and was no longer the energetic and radical emperor.
However, although this aggressive and radical approach was effective in the end, it also resulted in the loss of loved ones.
Qu Moying saluted the emperor again, and then followed Pei Yuanjun to the Pepper Palace in the harem.
There were a lot of people coming to the Pepper Palace today. The first ones were naturally the Queen Mother, as well as several princesses of higher seniority, the Dowager Consort, the Grand Princess, the Princess and several princesses. After them came other palace concubines of lower ranks. Of course, there were also some who were of lower rank but were in favor.
When Qu Moying came over, someone had already gone to report in. As soon as they arrived at the door, the Queen sent a palace maid to call them in.
The two of them walked in together. Qu Moying lowered his head slightly and heard the low voices inside. The voices stopped for a moment when they came in, and although there were still voices afterwards, they were much lighter than when they came in.
When she arrived at the main hall, she paid her respects to the Queen Mother, who rewarded her before ordering her to stand up.
"The Princess of England is indeed extremely beautiful. It seems that only the Princess of England is worthy of His Majesty the King of England." There was a voice of a palace concubine trying to please her, and the words sounded flattering.
"The Princess of England is not only beautiful, but also intelligent and kind-hearted. She looks like a smart person."
"The fate of the British princess is good, but she suffered more hardships in her childhood."
"The hardships I suffered in my childhood were nothing. Maybe it was just to temper my temper. Now that I can marry the King of England, it is a blessing."
"She is a blessed person. She looks very blessed." Every word of laughter in her ear seemed to be well-intentioned. No one said anything bad about her, and no one found fault with her. It was as if Qu Moying in front of them was really a perfect person without any faults...
But in fact, people in the palace have always been picky. Not to mention the princesses and princesses, even the concubines in the harem, who would like to be surpassed by others, even if they are princesses from other palaces
Although Qu Moying did not recognize his relatives in his previous life, he had come into contact with these people a lot. Now, hearing such peaceful praises, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. This was certainly not his ability. Pei Yuanjun was indeed notorious.
Of course, no matter how bad your reputation is, you will still be embarrassed when the time comes.
Sure enough, the next sentence came with malice...
