Chapter 313 When Are You Setting Off?
Placing down the chess piece in his hand, the emperor requested with a darkened face, “You wish to marry Qu Mansion’s girl as your Princess Consort?”
Li Quan fastidiously lowered his head, not daring to take a look at the emperor’s indignant face.
Pei Yuanjun stretched out his hand and stated indifferently, “Your Majesty, I don’t like every other girls. How am I purported to marry them?”
Li Quan stole a look at him, speechless. Solely Lord Yun dared to talk to the emperor like this. The others, together with the Crown Prince, didn’t even dare to breathe closely when the emperor was indignant.
“That received’t do. Your Princess Consort will need to have a noble standing.” The emperor didn’t agree.
Pei Yuanjun additionally put down the chess piece in his hand, gracefully picked up the tea beside him, took a sip, and requested with a relaxed smile, “However how can I discover a girl of noble standing that I like? If I can’t meet such a lady, I received’t have a Princess Consort all my life, proper?”
The emperor checked out his face fastidiously and located that he was detached. He calmed down and stated, “You don’t have to rush concerning your Princess Consort, however you need to select fastidiously. The Crown Prince goes to decide on his Princess Consort quickly. When the time comes, I’ll ask the empress to decide on a Princess Consort for you. You need to have a Princess Consort, however she will be able to’t be blind. She may solely be your Facet Princess.”
The emperor’s phrases carried a little bit of disdain. Even when Qu Moying was good in each facet, he wouldn’t let her be Pei Yuanjun’s Princess Consort. He agreed to let a blind like her enter Lord Yun Mansion with the place of Facet Princess as a result of it was the primary time Pei Yuanjun wished to marry somebody in so a few years. He was considerably grateful to her as a result of she made Pei Yuanjun lastly wish to get married.
Even when her eye illness could possibly be cured, she was nonetheless inferior to regular individuals.
On that day, the emperor noticed Pei Yuanjun admire the flowers with Qu Moying. He had accepted Qu Moying in his coronary heart. Qu Moying appeared delicate, timid, and pitiful. He heard that she had a depressing previous. Furthermore, Qu Zhizhen was good to his concubine however unhealthy to his professional spouse, and he handled Qu Moying, who was born by his professional spouse, casually.
Since Pei Yuanjun wished to marry Qu Moying, he accepted her.
Nonetheless, he thought Qu Moying may at most be Pei Yuanjun’s Facet Princess.
Pei Yuanjun didn’t insist and stated lazily, “I’ll take heed to you, Your Majesty. But when I don’t like the lady chosen for me, I received’t marry her.”
The emperor stated confidently, “That’s for positive. You need to marry somebody you want. I consider I can discover you a noble girl who could make you fall in love with.”
Li Quan checked out them speechlessly. Pei Yuanjun was so daring, and the emperor was really simply persuaded. If it was one other prince, there could be no room for negotiation. The ex-Crown Princess was chosen by the emperor, and the Crown Prince may solely settle for the association with gratitude.
“Your Majesty, how is the matter with Duke Yu? It’s time to reappoint him, proper?” Pei Yuanjun smiled and altered the subject. It could possibly be seen that he actually didn’t care concerning the matter of getting married. He didn’t care about Qu Moying as a lot because the emperor had imagined.
Perhaps he simply thought she was lady, or he pitied her.
The emperor nodded in satisfaction. Though he didn’t suppose Pei Yuanjun was prone to pity a lady, it could be the case proper now. It appeared that Pei Yuanjun favored this sort of delicate magnificence. He had despatched girls to Lord Yun Mansion, however they have been the coquettish kind. It turned out that he despatched the improper form of girls.
He determined to let the empress fastidiously decide a delicate noble girl. It could be higher if the woman was fragile and weak. He took a take a look at Qu Moying from afar that day. Though he couldn’t see her clearly, he may inform that she was a beautiful magnificence who was significantly weak.
The emperor thought he knew what sort of girls Pei Yuanjun favored, and he breathed a sigh of aid. He was afraid that Pei Yuanjun wouldn’t wish to get married. Pei Yuanjun ought to have gotten married way back. If he nonetheless didn’t get married, he would don’t have any descendants. The emperor was unwilling to see this occur.
“Sure. It’s about time. One basic just isn’t sufficient.” The emperor relieved his worries and nodded. He positioned a chess piece on the chessboard and stated meaningfully, “It’s about time.”
Pei Yuanjun raised his head and stated critically, “I nonetheless have to make a visit again to the North.”
The emperor pressed his hand on the chess piece and checked out Pei Yuanjun with displeasure. “What are you going again for?”
“After I got here again to the capital, I used to be in a rush. There have been some issues that haven’t been fully dealt with, so I’ve to return and take care of them. The North just isn’t secure, so I’ve to arrange a backup plan. Somebody from the North can even come over.”
Pei Yuanjun stated lazily and gracefully positioned a chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, which destroyed the emperor’s sport design. The emperor almost received the sport, however Pei Yuanjun’s transfer simply ruined his meticulous deployment.
The emperor’s face instantly darkened. He glared at Pei Yuanjun and threw away the chess piece in his hand, messing up the chessboard. “That’s it. I’m drained. If you wish to take care of the North’s matter, hurry up. Don’t delay it.”
Pei Yuanjun stood up, bowed to the emperor, and stated meaningfully, “Don’t fear, Your Majesty. Every part shall be accomplished.”
The emperor stated worriedly, “Watch out. I’ll ship one other crew of secret guards to you.”
Pei Yuanjun refused, “Thanks, Your Majesty. However there’s no want. I even have some secret guards to guard me.”
The emperor thought for some time and nodded. “You continue to need to watch out. If something goes improper, come again to the capital first.”
It was a matter of nice significance, however he hadn’t thought-about it earlier than. After listening to Pei Yuanjun point out it, he started to concentrate to it. He had been hesitant earlier than and was unwilling to ship Pei Yuanjun over, however he knew that Pei Yuanjun was probably the most appropriate particular person to take care of this matter.
Pei Yuanjun stated calmly, “Don’t fear, Your Majesty. I shall be cautious!”
The emperor was silent for a second. His eyes fell on Pei Yuanjun with a little bit of gloominess. After some time, he reached out and patted Pei Yuanjun’s shoulder, “Watch out!”
Pei Yuanjun bowed to him respectfully. “Sure!”
The emperor requested once more, “When are you setting off?”
“After the Qixi Pageant. I’ve by no means celebrated it earlier than. I heard that the capital is kind of full of life on this competition, and plenty of noble girls will come out on that day. Folks can have time as a result of the principles won’t be so strict that day. I ought to be capable of see completely different beauties!”
Pei Yuanjun laughed.
There was a contact of satisfaction on his good-looking face, which was precisely what a younger man ought to appear to be. The emperor had by no means seen him like this. For a second, all kinds of emotions welled up in his coronary heart. He nodded repeatedly. “Sure, it’s best to go and take a look. When you meet a noble girl you want, come to the palace and inform me. I’ll ship somebody to suggest a wedding for you.”
“Thanks, Your Majesty!” Pei Yuanjun bowed and smiled. His pair of eyes have been good-looking.
With that, Pei Yuanjun left.
Seeing Pei Yuanjun depart, the emperor sighed closely. He sat down powerlessly as if he had aged rather a lot swiftly.
Li Quan served the emperor a brand new cup of tea and comforted him in a low voice, “Your Majesty, Lord Yun is a succesful particular person. He shall be advantageous. Please don’t fear.”
The emperor sighed once more and frowned. “I do know he’s succesful, and I consider in him… Nonetheless, he’s so succesful that I’m afraid the long run emperor can’t tolerate him. The latter emperors had by no means spared the previous emperors’ trusted confidants.”
“Your Majesty, you could have at all times been considering for Lord Yun. Since Lord Yun has actual energy, even when… it received’t be simple to take care of him.”
Li Quan stated in a low voice. His phrases have been slightly outrageous, however he needed to say them right now.
“Even when he acts as a regent, he won’t find yourself effectively. The long run emperor will …” The emperor was distressed. There have been some issues that he couldn’t deal with correctly. Though he did it for Pei Yuanjun’s good, would it not actually be good for him?
The emperor didn’t know whether or not what he did was proper or improper.
Li Quan didn’t dare to talk anymore. If he continued, and if others unfold it out, he would certainly die. Girls within the harem weren’t allowed to intervene in politics, and even high-ranking eunuchs like him weren’t allowed, both.
The room quieted down, and solely the emperor sighed closely…
Qu Xuexin got here to Qu Moying ceaselessly these previous few days. Sometimes, she got here to Qianyue Home to do embroidery whereas Qu Moying accompanied her.
At first, Qu Moying embroidered rapidly, however she was clearly a lot slower when it got here to the troublesome elements. Qu Xuexin regularly turned sooner, and her embroidery was additionally very excellent.
When Qu Xuexin completed embroidering a sachet, Qu Moying had solely completed half of her embroidery, removed from completion.
Qu Moying was embarrassed. She stated that her eyes have been sore, and she or he couldn’t calm right down to make embroidery. Qu Xuexin comforted her, saying that her eye situation was extra necessary than making a sachet. She even requested to assist Qu Moying embroider the remainder of the sachet, however Qu Moying refused. She stated that she would embroider it slowly.
Qu Xuexin didn’t insist. She used Qu Moying’s brush and ink to attract just a few work of butterflies and flowers that Qu Moying had drawn earlier than. Nonetheless, they weren’t much like Qu Moying’s work. Qu Xuexin didn’t use any of them. She drew once more, and she or he discovered that her final portray was fairly much like Qu Moying’s. She requested Qu Moying to touch upon the portray. Qu Moying additionally thought it was much like her earlier work, and it matched the sachet. Solely then did Qu Xuexin really feel happy.
Typically, Qu Xuexin would invite Qu Moying to see Qu Mingcheng after coming to Qu Moying’s place. Qu Moying had by no means refused her, and she or he went along with her each time.
Nonetheless, she hardly ever met Qu Qiuyan. She heard from Qu Xuexin that Qu Qiuyan had been very obedient just lately. She solely went to greet the Previous Girl after which took a take a look at Qu Mingcheng.
Qu Mansion appeared to be unprecedentedly peaceable.
Early within the morning, Qu Moying introduced her maids out. Not too long ago, Yue’s Clothes Pavilion’s matter had been settled. Qu Moying determined to start out the enterprise on the day earlier than the Qixi Pageant. The town could be particularly full of life on the Qixi Pageant. All girls, together with noble girls and unusual girls, would come out for enjoyable. The enterprise of the store could be good.
If she began the enterprise earlier than the Qixi Pageant, she may make begin!
“Moying, the place are you going?” A smooth voice got here from the facet.
Qu Moying rotated and noticed Qu Xuexin, who was out no less than two hours sooner than normal. It appeared that she took Qu Moying’s informal phrases yesterday to coronary heart.
“Eldest Sister, I’m going to the store.” Qu Moying stated with a smile. She wore a light-weight purple costume that made her pores and skin look truthful, and her lips look lovely. Her lengthy and light-weight purple eye veil made her look much more lovely, which may make individuals really feel pity for her.
