The so-called first-sight attraction referred to Qu Moying!
WIth Qu Moying's identity, she could at most be a Princess. What the Empress meant in her words was very clear. If Pei Yuanjun did not decide on a Princess Consort, Qu Moying, as the so-called Princess, would not be able to marry into the mansion.
Even if Pei Yuanjun was attracted to Qu Moying at first sight, it was impossible for her to marry into the mansion without Pei Yuanjun marrying a Princess Consort first.
Obviously, the Empress was probing Pei Yuanjun by saying these words. Was the woman who could make Pei Yuanjun stop refusing marriage just a casual excuse?
"Thank you, Your Grace. However, I don't know who my Princess Consort would be. I'm afraid I might not be able to find one so soon. Fortunately, I am not in a hurry to marry. So I'll have to trouble you, Your Grace." Pei Yuanjun stood up, smiled, and cupped his hands slightly. He said with an unknown me
After Qu Moying finished speaking, she left with her maid. She was not the least bit curious about Qu Caiyue's incident.Seeing Qu Moying leave without a care, Qu Caiyue became furious. She crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a ball and then gritted her teeth. She ordered the maid beside her to invite Qu Qiuyan over.Qu Qiuyan did not come quickly. Only after a long time did she bring Qing Ju over. She was now a busy person in the mansion. How could she be as relaxed as before?"Qiuyan, it's not working." As soon as she saw Qu Qiuyan come in, Qu Caiyue hurriedly sat up straight on the bed and said."Not working?" Qu Qiuyan sat down on a chair by the bed, her face gloomy. "Second Sister, didn't you say that this is a small matter?""That blind girl is really too difficult to deal with," Qu Caiyue said with a headache."If you can't even handle such a small matter, Second Sister, you can forget
It was not Qu Caiyue herself who stopped Qu Moying. It was the maid serving her. It was said that the person who came to West Mansion to report that day was exactly this private maid.When she saw Qu Moying coming over, she turned around from the side of the road."Greetings, Fourth Lady.""What is it?" Qu Moying stopped and asked."My lady is waiting for you in the waterside pavilion ahead, Fourth Lady. She would like to talk to you," the maid said, pointing back. Yuedong Gate was there. Walking past Yuedong Gate, one would see West Mansion's biggest lotus pond. The waterside pavilion platform had a good view. It was a good place to admire the scenery.Although it was not the time for lotus flowers to bloom, there would be some small flower buds appearing from time to time.Qu Moying nodded, followed the maid to walk past Yuedong Gate, and headed toward the lotus pond. She happened to want to draw
No one had expected that Lord Jing Pei Yusheng and Lord Wei Pei Qingmin would actually be in Qu Mansion.They had come secretly, and they were only walking around casually in Qu Mansion at this time. They had not expected to see such a scene in front of them."Fourth Lady Qu is the one whose marriage engagement was annulled before. She looks capable though. The other one is the Second Lady." Pei Yusheng pointed at the waterside pavilion and said casually."Fourth Lady Qu?" Lord Wei's face was pale and sickly. He hadn't walked too far just now, but he was already a little out of breath. At this time, he stopped walking. He, too, saw the scene just now clearly. The corners of his lips curved silently, carrying a bit of ridicule. He naturally recognized Qu Mansion's Fourth Lady.Sure enough, rumors could not be trusted.It was said that the Fourth Lady was extremely pitiful. She was envied by her stepmother and had
Sure enough, these two Lords had not left Qu Mansion yet.Lord Wei Pei Qingmin was sitting alone in an attic, drinking tea and waiting for Lord Jing Pei Yusheng.There was no need to guess where Lord Jing went. Just now, when he was about to leave, a maid suddenly came out. After calling Lord Jing to the side and saying a few words, Pei Yusheng suddenly decided not to leave. He asked Pei Qingmin to wait for him a little while and said that he would come back soon. However, Pei Qingmin had finished a cup of tea now, but Pei Yusheng was still nowhere to be seen.Pei Qingmin became impatient and put down the teacup in his hand. He reached out to press the tea table and was about to stand up."My Lord, Fourth Lady Qu would like to see you." His young eunuch came in in a hurry and reported to him respectfully."Who?" Pei Qingmin looked up and asked in surprise."Vice Minister Qu's Mansion's Fourth Lady.
"My Lord, Lord Jing is here!" The young eunuch saw Lord Jing coming from afar, so he reminded Lord Wei.Lord Wei stood at the window and looked out for a long time. After that, he frowned and was in a daze. This state of his made the young eunuch very uneasy. Lord Wei's body did not seem to be able to withstand standing for a long time. Whenever Lord Wei could have a seat, the young eunuch would definitely not let him stand.It was best even not to sit when he could lie down.However, Lord Wei had been standing there for a long time. His face sank, and he did not move at all, making others not dare to move at all too.When the young eunuch finally saw Lord Jing coming from afar, he hurriedly reported.Pei Qingmin moved and sat down in the chair. He picked up the cool tea on the table and drank a few mouthfuls before putting it down.The young eunuch was even more horrified. His expression changed gr
Half an hour later, Qu Moying left the inner room. Granny Yan was already waiting there.Qu Moying already knew that Granny Yan had been to Furong House. Judging by how she looked now, things should go smoothly.Learning the rules was very simple for Qu Moying. No matter what excuse Granny Yan gave, Qu Moying was calm and did not panic at all.At first, Granny Yan was indeed planning to find trouble with Qu Moying. However, every time she saw that Qu Moying was able to push her limits and perform in a neat way despite her raising difficulties, even if Granny Yan wanted to make a fuss, she could not find any excuse. Then, Granny Yan's expression calmed down. After that, she did not try to make things difficult for Qu Moying anymore.When the time came, she released Qu Moying as if she did not mind Qu Moying's rejection before this.Granny Wu had already come over by now. Seeing that Qu Moying had stopped for a re
The night was dark. Under the light, Qu Moying was not sleeping yet. She was wearing a thin outer garment and was half-lying in the front part of the bed. Her long black hair hung casually, and she was flipping through a painting book. It was a painting book with excellent paintings. She was very energetic now after browsing through the book.She had already sent Yu Chun to sleep. At this time, she was not sleepy. She got up from the bed and lit a candle to continue reading.The sky was getting hot, and the window was not fully closed, leaving a small gap.The candlelight on the table tilted to one side in the wind and then titled back. The window was opened wide, and Pei Yuanjun, who was dressed in a purple brocade robe, appeared in the room.A few golden threads stood out from the pale purple iris flower, making the originally inconspicuous iris flower look noble and enchanting. The neckline was of a dark blue edge, matchi
"I am really impressed by your family love!" Pei Yuanjun smiled lightly and narrowed his eyes. He looked at the young girl in front of him calmly. "You are a grateful person. What a coincidence. I have shown you a lot of kindness. It should be a foregone conclusion that you will marry into my mansion. Well, be careful when you enter the palace."So, he came today to especially warn her about this?Qu Moying's eyes moved slightly, and she nodded calmly. "I will, my Lord.""The Empress has always wanted to send women to my mansion, but I have been rejecting her. Now that I have given in a little because of you, she'll naturally think that there is a breakthrough."Pei Yuanjun said lazily, and a coldness flashed in his charming eyes."What do you want me to do, my Lord?" Qu Moying understood the meaning of his words, and she asked."You don't have to do anything. Just be careful. I don't like my people
