Qu Moying asked calmly, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Lady, I didn't want to talk about this because it was related to Madam's reputation, but I have to say it now. At that time, the one who was supposed to be engaged with Minister Liu was Madam. The two families had already agreed on their marriage. Minister Liu had even seen Madam and expressed his satisfaction. But when they were about to get engaged, Duke Qi's Mansion suddenly took a fancy to Minister Liu."
Granny Zhou was so angry that her face turned red. She still felt uncomfortable about this matter and was indignant for the sake of Little Yue.
Qu Moying asked in surprise, "He had seen my mother? But I heard my mother had seldom seen any outsiders before getting married."
"It was a coincidence. At that time, Minister Liu was only a scholar who came to the capital for the imperial examination. He stayed in Yue Mansion for a few nights. One night, he accidentally
Just now, when Yu Dong came out to look for Granny Zhou, he saw Granny Yan and told her about the invitation. Granny Yan didn't take it to heart at first, but then she thought of one thing and was anxious to report to Qu Moying."I don't know. Lady didn't tell me about this just now," said Granny Zhou, shaking her head. She stayed in the room just for a while, and she only talked about the things in the past with Qu Moying. "But I saw an invitation card on the table."She noticed the invitation card because it looked unusual.Even its cover was unique. It was actually embroidered, and the embroidery was very exquisite."Then I'll go take a look." Granny Yan nodded and felt that the situation might be what she had guessed.When she walked to the door of the main room, Yu Chun happened to come out from inside. Seeing Granny Yan, Yu Chun immediately went back to report. The sound of the qin in the room stopped, and
"Will County Lady Jingyu attend it?"After asking this question, Qu Moying couldn't help but laugh. Since this gathering was a high-level one, how could Liu Jingyu not attend it?However, Qu Moying thought it was not bad because she could have the chance to see how Liu Jingyu tried to curry favor with Grand Princess Changyu or Prefectural Princess Xiangrong. After all, Liu Jingyu had a clear goal now, and that was to marry the Crown Prince, Pei Luo'an.Whether she had to face one or two enemies at this gathering didn't affect Qu Moying in the slightest.The situation was not bad. At the very least, the gathering was held in Grand Princess Changyu's Mansion, so even if Liu Jingyu was Duke Qi's granddaughter and Minister Liu's daughter, she would not dare to act rashly.Granny Yan did not know the real meaning of Qu Moying's question and answered honestly, "County Lady Jingyu will possibly attend it."
"If Liu Xiangshan sends someone over, just let them wait first." Pei Yuanjun said lazily as he closed his unfathomable eyes."Yes, Your Highness." Ji Hai complied, but then he asked hesitantly, "But what if he sends Miss Liu over?""Same!" Pei Yuanjun said lazily, "The one I brought into the capital turned out to be a fake Miss Liu. It was generous enough for me to send the fake one back safe and sound."Ji Hai was clear about what happened when Pei Yuanjun returned to the capital. If not for this matter, Pei Yuanjun wouldn't have noticed Qu Moying. Thinking about it this way, Ji Hai thought it was a good thing.As for the incident Pei Yuanjun had mentioned, Ji Hai thought it was an accident. It happened because Pei Yuanjun was unwilling to bring Miss Liu to the capital.Of course, Pei Yuanjun was innocent, to the extent that he was as innocent as a lamb.Ji Hai asked cautiously, "Your Highness, wha
Qu Moying asked thoughtfully, "These were sent from Lord Yun Mansion?""Yes, they were sent from Lord Yun Mansion. They were sent on the day you agreed to attend the gathering when I was thinking about what accessories to prepare for you."Granny Yan said with a smile.If Qu Moying hadn't asked where she got the accessories, she would not have said it for the time being, but she would find an opportunity to remind Qu Moying to be attentive to her clothing wherever she was. If Qu Moying entered the palace, a trifle might determine her life, so she needed to be careful.Now it seemed that Qu Moying did notice this question, but she didn't mention it at first. Thinking of this, Granny Yan smiled brightly, and the doubt in her heart was totally gone.Qu Moying raised her eyes and asked, "Is there anything special about this jade fan?"Granny Yan nodded vigorously. "Yes, it's indeed special. I heard that
Liu Jingyu was very proud of one thing.When her mother married into the Liu Family, the dowry she brought with her was almost half of Duke Qi's Mansion's savings. Her maternal grandfather loved her mother the most and gave her whatever she liked. Even her maternal grandmother felt the dowry was way too substantial, but her grandfather was still very generous.On her mother's wedding day, more than a hundred servants carried her dowry items over to Liu Family. Moreover, some dowry items had been moved into the Liu Family before the wedding.It was said that when Ji Hanyue married the Crown Prince, Ji Hanyue's dowry was also extravagant, which was quite a sight. But Liu Jingyu believed that if she was going to marry the Crown Prince, her dowry would definitely be much more substantial than that of Ji Hanyue.She believed that she would have whatever Ji Hanyue had and also what Ji Hanyue didn't have.In this regar
The old maid lowered her head in embarrassment. Previously, she didn't pay enough respect to Qu Moying because she thought Qu Moying was just the daughter of a Vice Minister, which was why she impolitely looked at Qu Moying. However, she didn't expect Qu Moying's maid to be so fierce that she dared to glare at her.The old maid pretended not to notice Yu Dong's glare and lowered her head to avoid meeting Yu Dong's eyes. Then, she continued to lead the way with a smile but did not dare to be disrespectful to the young lady in the carriage anymore.The carriage entered Grand Princess Changyu's mansion through the side door and arrived at the parking lot after making a turn. A few carriages had already been parked there, and two ladies were getting off the carriages. After looking at each other, they greeted softly and walked to the inner yard together.They behaved intimately and naturally. Obviously, they were close friends.
There were no outsiders at this time, so Zhao Qingxuan boldly asked, "Your Highness, are you really going to marry County Lady Jingyu?"Pei Luo'an nodded. "It is what Mother Empress wants.""Did you... really go to hang Love Lanterns with her?" Zhao Qingxuan continued to ask. Many aristocratic families knew about this matter, and he naturally had heard his mother talk about it.Pei Luo'an said calmly, "Yes.""But didn't you say... that you were deeply in love with the ex-Crown Princess?" Zhao Qingxuan stuttered, and his face turned red."It was Mother Empress' idea... I have to listen to her." Pei Luo'an's face darkened. He looked at a corner of the window and smiled bitterly."But... but County Lady Jingyu used to be with..." Zhao Qingxuan stopped before finishing his words. He did not dare to say it out bluntly.The marriage between Liu Jingyu and Lord Jing had once been discussed, bu
Qu Moying didn't care about the prying eyes around. She sat calmly, shaking the fan in her hand gently and leisurely.When she was Ji Hanyue, no matter where she went, she was always the center of others' attention. There would be many people looking at her. Therefore, she didn't care about the meaning of others' gaze, and she was very calm and composed.It was the same right now!Only a few ladies stared at her, and she did not feel uncomfortable in the slightest."Fourth Lady Qu, your fan looks good. Can I have a look?" Prefectural Princess Xiangrong suddenly asked with a smile as her gaze fell on the jade fan at Qu Moying's waist.She had noticed this jade fan when Qu Moying entered the door because it was a good one. It was neither too simple nor too flamboyant.Moreover, an old maid behind her reminded her of something about the jade fan. The old maid served Grand Princess Changyu in normal day
