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
In the next few days, Qu Moying continued to learn the palace rules and etiquette. However, the number of students increased from one to two, and in the end, four.First, Qu Qiuyan joined in, then Qu Caiyue. Finally, Qu Xuexin also received the news and learned the rules and etiquette with the three others.Although Granny Yan did not seem very happy, at least she did not drive them away, and she even helped correct all kinds of mistakes made by Qu Moying's three elder sisters.Granny Yan taught seriously, and the four sisters learned diligently. A few days passed in the blink of an eye.Early in the morning, the people in the mansion began to prepare. Today was the time for the Qu ladies to enter the palace, and Qu Mansion had been preparing for this day.The clothes that the embroidery workshop sent over were more and more exquisite. Qu Moying picked a light blue set of outfit. It looked very elegant, but ther
Qu Moying's heart throbbed. She raised her watery eyes and looked at Qu Qiuyan who was sitting opposite her. She saw the slight curve of Qu Qiuyan's lips, and Qu Moying's eyes darkened."It's rare for the two Lords to come over. Invite them in." Dowager Consort Qu smiled in a good mood.The eunuch exited, and soon two princes came in side by side.Both of them were very handsome. Lord Jing looked a bit more heroic, and Lord Wei was a bit weak, but both were outstanding.After the two came in and greeted Dowager Consort Qu, Dowager Consort Qu smiled and invited them to sit down.The palace maid delivered tea and stood on the side shyly."Lord Jing and Lord Wei, why are you here today?" Dowager Consort Qu looked at the two princes with a smile."When I walked past with Qingmin, I thought I hadn't seen you for a while, Dowager Consort, so I specially came in to ask for a cup of tea," Lord
The tea stopped at the corner of Qu Moying's lips and then was slowly moved away. Qu Moying frowned and put down the teacup."It seems to be very hot." Qu Caiyue looked at the teacup in her hand and nodded. She pushed the teacup slightly to the side and leaned against the stone table in front of her with her elbows. "Moying, did you find that Lord Jing treated Qiuyan differently?"The corners of Qu Caiyue's lips looked very pale. She loosened her hand weakly and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground. However, no one saw it as it happened under the stone table."I don’t know." Qu Moying shook her head as she massaged her head."I heard from Father that Second Uncle wants Qiuyan to marry Lord Jing. Now it seems that it is really possible. You see, Lord Jing treats Qiuyan differently." Qu Caiyue smiled, looking very happy."I’m not sure." Qu Moying shook her head again and massaged her forehead a few time
"What the hell is going on?" Dowager Consort Qu frowned tightly and looked at Qu Caiyue, whose clothes were in a mess. Dowager Consort Qu had been called over by the palace maid. When she heard about such a farce, her face had been sullen.Pei Yusheng and Pei Qingmin were sitting on both sides of the hall. Similarly, their faces were gloomy. The other three Qu sisters stood together by the side. Qu Xuexin moved her eyes around. She lowered her head as she twisted her handkerchief, not daring to move.Qu Moying's expression was calm as she stood behind Qu Xuexin. The thin Qu Moying was a little smaller than Qu Xuexin, and therefore, almost half of her body was blocked by Qu Xuexin.Qu Qiuyan stood in the front. She glared at Qu Caiyue, who was kneeling on the ground, with a face full of hatred and anger."Grandaunt... I... I didn't know... I didn't know at that time... I just went in like that... After I went in, my eyes beca
No one could stay any longer in such a mess. Dowager Consort Qu no longer had the initial mood. She asked someone to help Qu Caiyue and Qu Qiuyan go to the side to rest and sort things out. Then, Dowager Consort Qu also left with a gloomy face. Only Qu Xuexin and Qu Moying were left in the hall, along with Lord Wei, who was still sitting indifferently on the side.Seeing that the hall was almost empty, Pei Qingmin finally raised his head. There was a smile on his pale face. His eyes fell on Qu Moying's face. The long eye veil still covered most of her face. Her skin was like marble, and the corners of her lips were still. She was calm and indifferent."Fourth Lady Qu, can we talk for a while?" Pei Qingmin said gently.It was completely different from Pei Yusheng's flustered and exasperated performance just now."Moying, I'm going to see Caiyue and Qiuyan," Qu Xuexin said softly.Qu Moying nodded and looked at Lo
"You sent Qu Caiyue onto Lord Wei's bed, but you pushed the matter onto Ying. When did you have such an illusion that Qu Caiyue is closer to you than Qu Moying?" Qu Zhizhen scolded, wishing he could whip this useless daughter of his to death.The chess formation that was originally planned was ruined by her, and now Qu Zhizhen even had the urge to strangle Qu Qiuyan to death.Qu Qiuyan did not expect that Qu Zhizhen would be so angry. Her body involuntarily moved backward on the ground as she begged, "Father, father, I won't dare to do it again. I won't do it again."She did not dare to deny it. Just now, Qu Caiyue was left behind by the Old Lady. She knew that something was off, so she deliberately stayed and waited for Qu Zhizhen.She originally thought that her father would stand on her side no matter what. She did not expect that her father would be so angry at her. Qu Qiuyan was really afraid. Looking at Qu Zhizhen's tw
Dowager Consort Qu invited Qu Mansion's four ladies into the palace, but the only concubine-born daughter climbed into Lord Jing's bed. It was said to be a misunderstanding. She said that she felt dizzy and went into Lord Jing's room to sleep. Lord Jing was also a little uncomfortable at that time and did not find out.When someone found out, the two had been in bed together for a long time.This news spread silently throughout the palace. Before night came, the entire palace already knew about it.No one in the palace believed such a statement.There were many palace maids who wanted to climb into the bed of Lord Jing. If it was so easy to get close to Lord Jing, why didn't anyone climb into Lord Jing's bed before this incident? Needless to say, it must have been deliberately done by this Second Lady Qu.The irrelevant people took it as a joke. Previously, they only heard that Lord Jing had taken a fancy to Thi
"Miss Liu, the king said that there is no female master in the residence, so he is not in a position to receive you, and asked if there is anything important you need?" A guard descended from the steps and walked to Liu Lanxin's carriage, giving a respectful salute inside.Liu Lanxin's carriage was again blocked in front of the Ying Wang Mansion."It's an important matter, a message from father's side." Liu Lanxin reached out and pressed the cuff of his sleeve, there was indeed a letter there, a letter to the King of England.The guards didn't dare to delay the border matter and said to Liu Lanxin, "Miss Liu wait a moment."After saying that, he turned around and went inside to report.This time it took a little longer to get in, long enough for the originally chesty Liu Lanxin to feel like things weren't a little unexpected again.Finally, the guards reappeared and smiled at Liu Lanxin, "Miss Liu, our king invites you in.""Good!" A big sto
Zhu Yan'er did not expect Yu Dong actually remembered her, and also demolished her identity, but in her reaction is also fast, slightly flustered after, immediately asked with a smile; "Which house are you from?""Slave servant is from the Qu Mansion, Miss Zhu, please." Yu Dong moved to the side and reached out to lead the way to the private room.Zhu Yan'er this is also difficult to ride the tiger, had to make a look with a few points of bewilderment to the private room, as if she really did not mean it, originally just want to make some trouble out of it, and now also put themselves into it.Yu Dong, the maid, was still recognized by the people around her just now.Her features carried a bit of the innate cluelessness of a young girl, easily inviting, and while some were skeptical, there was a part of her that was immediately convinced that she was truly innocent.It's just the maids under her that are petulant.A maid is not good, even the mast
That rather strange Mr. Zhao was actually amongst the crowd, standing with his hands behind his back under a store on one side, watching the slowly moving carriages on the street.Looking at his upright posture, it is hard to believe that he actually also came to see the fun, should be coincidentally encountered, and he has been blocked up like himself."Mr. Zhao?" Yu Dong saw her stop moving and her gaze looked over.Qu Mo Ying nodded and turned to leave after a couple more looks.Down the stairs, got into the carriage, followed the traffic slowly forward, the curtain of the window of the car outside a layer had been picked up before, the inner layer is made of yarn, from the inside can see the outside, but the outside can not see clearly inside.It wasn't annoying to pass by while looking at the passersby on both sides of the road.See that Zhao Gongzi again, a flash, in fact, did not see clearly, this Zhao Gongzi seems to be talking to a person
"Is it Fourth Miss Qu?" Outside was a maid, looking a little familiar, Yu Dong thought a little and immediately recognized it."It's our young lady." With a slight smile, she stepped forward and replied, giving a bow to the woman standing behind her, Miss Liu Lanxin, the daughter of the Auxiliary General, still wearing the appearance of a thin veil over her eyes."Our lady is from the Auxiliary General's residence, and we have met your lady before." The maiden laughed."Slave girl will go report to our young lady." Yu Dong turned around and went in, and when she came out again she invited Miss Liu in."Miss Liu!" Qu Mo Ying stood up and saluted.Liu Lanxin also smiled and gave a salute, and the two of them politely took their seats."Fang looked like Fourth Miss Qu, so I came over to meet her." Liu Lanxin smiles, "Since the last time I saw Fourth Miss Qu, I didn't expect to see her after such a long time."The last time the two met was in th
The carriage slowly moved forward, Qu Mo Ying sat in the carriage, there has been a period of time did not go to the auxiliary to visit, this time to take advantage of the matter of clothes to go by the way to go to the Yueyi Pavilion to take a look.Qi Gongfu today and sent people over, said some details of the matter, the dowager lady thought to also pay attention to some details, never let people from the top of the clothes than the Qi Gongfu.The more clothes cabinet is doing this kind of business, Qu Mo Ying got the meaning of the dowager lady to the more clothes cabinet to pick some of their own, but also with the shopkeeper Yang aunt to discuss how to better, this aspect of Yang aunt can be regarded as a competent hand, the most will help people accessorize the clothes, some small details, it is possible to affect the overall feeling."Why is it still stuck in traffic?" The carriage had been stuck in the traffic jam for some time, Qu Mo Ying gently lifted th
Sister Miao was from the northern border and had come to the capital before to find someone to join her.In fact, it's not really a family member, just looking for the original village old folks, the village because of a disaster, almost no one escaped again.This part of the past, what Qu Mo Ying knew was not clear, this was Sister Miao's hidden pain, since Sister Miao was not willing to talk about it in detail, she would not force her.In the next period of time, the Duke of Qi's residence sent people over from time to time to deal with some small problems in the details, fearing that there would be the slightest mistake.Attitude prudent so that Mrs. Qu feel that the Duke of Qi is not too much attention, originally just change one of the three, is not the most important set of clothes at the time of the big make-up.Qi Gongfu so practice let her a lot of pressure, as if Qi Gongfu do more than she this pro-grandmother, but also on the heart, is to sho
"Miss, this is the jewelry sent by the Duke of Qi's residence, saying that it's for use with the clothes." Yu Dong walked in with a gift box in her hand.The gift box was put down, and after Sister Yan walked over and opened it, she took a look at it and nodded, "Miss, this is an excellent set of jewelry, it's very suitable for a maturity dress, and I'm afraid the value of this isn't small.""After dispensing, send it back." Qu Mo Ying's eyes were pale as he said."Sending it back, miss, I'm afraid this is not in keeping with etiquette!" Sister Yan shook her head, a big family, since it was sent, where was the reason to return it."The Duke of Qi gave me such a big gift, where can I accept it raw, I have to return the gift, choose one of similar value and return the gift!"Qu Mo Ying thought for a moment and said, she was not willing to owe the Duke of Qi at all, as long as she thought of her mother's death, she felt that the jewelry in front of her wei
"Mother, what is the matter you called me over for?" As Liu Jingyu entered, she playfully bowed to Mrs. Liu."Sit here mother." Mrs. Willow beckoned to her.Seeing her mother's rare closeness, Liu Jingyu was in quite a good mood as she took two steps forward and sat down next to Mrs. Liu.Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Jingyu to say something."Mother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Mrs. Liu in this form, Liu Jingyu's face sank and she asked eagerly."There is nothing much, just heard the news that came from the Duke of Qi's house before, and felt ..." Mrs. Liu sighed a long breath, and the words came here, and for a while she actually couldn't go on."What did Grandmother do again? Something to do with Qu Mo Ying?" Liu Jingyu asked almost intuitively.The feeling as if she was a natural enemy immediately lifted her spirits.Mrs. Liu nodded gently, "Your maternal grandmother recently did not know what was wrong, but actually so close to this y
"What does Mrs. Qi mean?" Mrs. Qu looked at the matron of the Duke of Qi's house in front of her and said in surprise."Qu second lady's matter, we all feel guilty all over the house, the old Duke of State almost wanted to move to Jiangnan, directly to Qu second lady's father to ask for forgiveness, but the Duke of State did not agree, the old Duke of State must be older after all, I heard that the Qu fourth young lady is going to have her maturity rite, our dowager lady's intention, want to make a set of clothes for the Qu fourth young lady."The granny sent by the Duke of Qi's residence was very good at talking, sighing, feeling, and finally longing.The people of the King's House came and left with great fanfare, a little inquiring to know the meaning of the King's House, actually want to make a set of dresses for this Qu fourth young lady at the time of the maturity of the big makeup."His Highness the King of England has already sent someone." Mrs. Qu wa
