Chapter 381 – Fourth Lady Qu, Please Wait!
Chapter 381 Fourth Lady Qu, Please Wait!
“Fourth Lady Qu, please wait!”
Hearing the voice behind her, Qu Moying stopped and looked back. It was a eunuch. She narrowed her eyes and thought, “Grand Princess Changyu has eunuchs around her, but basically, no one else here will have a eunuch.”
“So, it should be Grand Princess Changyu looking for . But for what?”
“Fourth Lady Qu, please wait!” The eunuch ca forward and bowed respectfully to Qu Moying.
“What is it?” Qu Moying asked indifferently. She looked at the eunuch in confusion. She really couldn’t think of a reason for Grand Princess Changyu to et her alone.
“Fourth Lady Qu, please wait a mont. Our Master has sothing to ask you.” The eunuch smiled and pointed to a pavilion not far away. “Fourth Lady Qu, please rest in the pavilion for a while. Our Master will be here soon.”
Hearing his words, Qu Moying imdiately felt that his so-called Master was not Grand Princess Changyu. Otherwise, the eunuch just had to bring her to Grand Princess Changyu. Since she was here in Grand Princess Changyu’s mansion, Grand Princess Changyu could talk to her in any place. She didn’t have to choose a random pavilion to talk to Qu Moying.
It showed that this eunuch’s master was not Grand Princess Changyu.
Qu Moying’s face darkened. She almost subconsciously thought of a person. She had seen Ji Youran’s pretentious manner just now.
She took a deep breath, and her pale face beca colder. “I am going to see Prefectural Princess Xiangrong first. I am afraid I can’t wait for your Master!”
Seeing that Qu Moying insisted on leaving, the eunuch beca a little anxious. “Fourth Lady Qu, our Master will be here soon. Please wait for a little while!”
Seeing that Qu Moying was unwilling to stay, Yu Dong stepped forward to help. He said bluntly, “Who is your Master? Why do you want our lady to wait? Maybe Prefectural Princess Xiangrong is also waiting for our lady!”
“Our Master… Our Master…” The eunuch did not dare to casually say who his Master was. He was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.
“Since your Master is unwilling to let know who he is, why should I stay and wait for him?” Qu Moying sneered and turned to leave.
She did not want to see this Master at all!
Just as Qu Moying turned around, she suddenly heard the eunuch’s surprised voice behind her, followed by a gentle voice. “Fourth Lady Qu, please wait!”
This voice was as gentle as ever, just like how he always acted in front of others. He had appeared to be a gentle and magnanimous Crown Prince, but was he really such a person?
In Qu Moying’s previous life, she didn’t realize what kind of person he actually was until she died.
Qu Moying glanced at Yu Chun, who was holding her qin Fengyu in her hand. She changed the cover of the qin box when she had nothing to do. The cover was embroidered with butterfly and flower patterns by her. So, did Pei Luo’an see it?
She did not expect that Pei Luo’an would co today, so she did not pay attention to the cover of the qin. What negligence!
She took a deep breath, suppressed the burning pain in her heart, and slowly turned around. Sure enough, she saw Pei Luo’an in a comfortable robe, standing opposite her with a smile.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” Qu Moying bowed.
“Fourth Lady Qu, it’s rude of to stop you like this!” Pei Luo’an stepped forward with a faint smile and slightly lifted his hands, indicating for Qu Moying to save the formalities.
Qu Moying stood up straight and put on a faint smile. “Your Highness, I didn’t know that you wanted to see . I am to bla!”
“Fourth Lady Qu, please don’t feel sorry. Actually, I want to ask you sothing.” Pei Luo’an said gently. His eyes fell on the qin cover in Yu Chun’s hand, which was embroidered with butterflies flying in the flowers. It looked elegant and beautiful.
In the past, what Pei Luo’an liked the most was the scene of butterflies flying.
Two butterflies flew in the flowers. They were colorful, and they set off the beauty of the flowers. The flying butterflies, the red flowers, and the green leaves were all embroidered perfectly.
“Please go on, Your Highness!” Qu Moying’s gaze swept over her qin cover, and her eyes beca more and more relaxed. The eye veil concealed the mockery in her eyes. Pei Luo’an looked so sincere, and others would believe that he was really affectionate to Ji Hanyue if they saw him like this.
Who would have thought that it was this affectionate Crown Prince who sent Ji Hanyue to her death? He killed not only Ji Hanyue but also her family…
Pei Luo’an asked, “May I ask who embroidered your qin cover?”
Qu Moying answered calmly, “It was embroidered by an embroideress in our mansion.”
“An embroideress in your mansion?” Pei Luo’an asked in surprise. He had seen a familiar pattern on Qu Xuexin’s sachet before, and now he saw it on Qu Moying’s qin cover. Was it true that there was an embroideress in Qu Mansion who was proficient in this kind of embroidery? But he found such patterns really familiar.
Qu Moying said calmly, “Yes!”
Pei Luo’an fell silent. He was in mixed feelings. He looked up at Qu Moying and then turned to the qin in Yu Chun’s hands, “Fourth Lady Qu, do you also like to play the qin?”
He rembered that he had heard Qu Moying play the qin before, and she played the music he was familiar with. His heart suddenly twitched, and he could sense its throb.
Qu Moying recalled sothing and answered naturally, “I quite like it. My cousin sister once sent a music score!”
She did not hesitate for a single second.
Pei Luo’an kept looking at her and saw that she was calm. Although he could not see her eyes, he could imagine that her eyes were calm as well.
He didn’t know how to express his feelings. He was a little disappointed. Things ought to be like this, but he was expecting sothing else.
After hesitating for a while, Pei Luo’an asked, “Fourth Lady Qu, could you please play a tune for ?”
“Your Highness, we are in Grand Princess Changyu’s mansion, and there are no other young ladies around. I’m afraid it is not appropriate for to do so!” Qu Moying bowed sideways, looking neither humble nor pushy.
Pei Luo’an was not the owner of this mansion. It was already a little out of line for the two of them to talk here. If Qu Moying perford for Pei Luo’an here, others might think that there was sothing between the two of them. They might think that Qu Moying wanted to offer herself at the feet of the Crown Prince.
Although Pei Luo’an requested Qu Moying to play a song, he realized that he was too rash as soon as he finished his words, and he was prepared to gloss it over.
It was indeed inappropriate to ask Qu Moying to play the qin for him now!
If Qu Moying was just an ordinary young lady, Pei Luo’an would not care about this. At most, he would give Qu Moying a position in his backyard, and it would not be a problem for him. He would have a Princess Consort and other concubines in the future. He didn’t have so many won in the past just to please Ji Hanyue and Ji Yongming.
He did not need to care about it now. He showed his deep affection for Ji Hanyue in front of others. If he died, he would be buried with Ji Hanyue. He didn’t care about the future Crown Princess or the other concubines. Even if he had many won in Eastern Palace, it would not harm his reputation in the slightest.
However, he could not take Qu Moying because she was Lord Yun’s woman.
However, he would feel better withdrawing the request himself than being rejected by Qu Moying. Qu Moying rejected so calmly that there was no trace of shyness on her pale little face. She seed to be preaching, and Pei Luo’an felt like he was preached by Ji Hanyue.
Whenever Ji Hanyue knew that he had done sothing wrong, she would definitely point it out.
Other than her, no one else dared to do so. Even his advisors would only advise him tactfully.
However, it was Qu Moying, the daughter of a re Vice Minister, who preached him now. Thinking of this, Pei Luo’an was displeased. His face darkened, but then he revealed a gentle smile.
“I was rash just now. It is indeed inappropriate. I hope that I can hear you play the qin in the future.” Pei Luo’an explained and then added, “I heard you playing the qin last ti, and it sounded like Hanyue was performing. That’s why I suddenly have such an idea. Ever since Hanyue passed away, every ti I heard the qin music, I felt that it was Hanyue who was playing. Because of this, I haven’t heard others play the qin for a long ti! ”
The smile on Pei Luo’an’s face beca bitter. He sighed softly and then waved his hand. “Fourth Lady Qu, you can leave!”
It could be seen that Pei Luo’an was not in the mood to speak after ntioning Ji Hanyue.
Qu Moying did not say anything. She bowed to Pei Luo’an and then turned to leave with the two maids. After turning around, she curled her lips in ridicule. “Pei Luo’an is really pretentious. No wonder it is said that he has a deep love for Ji Hanyue.”
She really wanted to tear apart Pei Luo’an’s hypocritical mask so that everyone could see his vicious nature under his gentle and affectionate face.
Pei Luo’an had created a good image for himself. However, Qu Moying would let others see his nature one day and move Ji Hanyue’s morial tablet away from Eastern Palace. She would not let Pei Luo’an taint Ji Hanyue’s reputation, even if she had to die…
Qu Moying took a random path just now. At this ti, she was not in a hurry to go back to find Prefectural Princess Xiangrong. If Prefectural Princess Xiangrong wanted to find her, she would easily find her. At this ti, Prefectural Princess Xiangrong was probably busy investigating things and had no ti to et her.
In fact, it was not difficult to investigate the matter. However, Qu Moying knew that Liu Jingyu definitely had a backup plan. Today’s incident displeased Prefectural Princess Xiangrong, but it was not directly done by Liu Jingyu. It might be related to the confidants around Liu Jingyu, but so what? Liu Jingyu had many confidants around her, and she didn’t mind if she were to sacrifice one or two of them.
Qu Moying was in Grand Princess Changyu’s mansion, but she did not know where exactly she was. She walked for a while, stopped, and looked up at a tower not far away. Perhaps she had accidentally taken a shortcut that she had accidentally co to the outer yard. The tower not far away was actually the one built according to the design paper she had drawn before.
There was soone looking around in front of the tower. When the person saw Qu Moying, his eyes lit up, and he greeted Qu Moying with a smile. He was actually soone Qu Moying knew, and it was too late for Qu Moying to turn around now.
Qu Moying could only wait for him to walk forward, but actually, she did not want to see him at all…
