Chapter 644 Fate? Meeting on the Dan Que

The entire capital city’s families shook because of Pei Yuanjun’s marriage.

Some people were skeptical, some people guessed, and some people mocked, each with their own claims, the most unbelievable of which was the claim that the King of England had really taken a liking to this Fourth Miss Qu, which anyone would find impossible.

But all of this had nothing to do with Qu Mo Ying, who was now preparing to go pay her respects to the Empress Mother and thank her for her kindness.

For the first time, she didn’t wear a veil over her eyes and met people as she was.

On the high Dan Que, a palace maid came down, seeing Qu Mo Ying’s appearance, her eyes were stunned, then she said, “Empress Mother invited Fourth Miss Qu to go in.”

After Qu Mo Ying answered, he followed behind the palace maid and went up the Dan Que step by step, slowly entering the main hall.

This used to be the place she traveled to and from the most, and every time she entered the palace in the past, she could not have to wait under the Dan Que, she only had to go up again to wait a little outside the main hall, and the Empress would send someone to welcome her, and when she saw her, she was just like a common elder who cared for her.

When they reached the outside of the great hall, they did stop again, and the palace maid went in to report.

She waited a moment before the courtesan came out and welcomed her forward again.

In the middle of the hall sat the Empress, her eyes fell on Qu Mo Ying’s face, similarly stunned for a moment, apparently also did not expect the appearance under the eye veil would be this stunning.

A frown of disbelief creased his brow.

But then it loosened up again, as demure and calm as ever.

Qu Mo Ying stepped forward to perform a great salute to pay homage, to be able to pay homage to the end before hearing the solemn voice of the Empress above, “Free, give seat.”

A courtier came over and helped her, bringing her to sit on a brocade stool to the side.

Qu Mo Ying sat down in a disciplined manner, her head lowered, sensing that the Empress Mother’s gaze was still scrutinizingly falling on her face, her watery eyes slightly rippled, but her heart could not afford a single ripple.

Quietly waiting for the Empress Mother to speak, the Empress Mother’s favorite is this trick, the longer the scrutiny, the more panicky it makes people’s hearts, for the first time to enter the palace to advance to see the people, this is equivalent to a dismounted.

This move, the Empress made the smoothest but also the most shocking.

As expected, the Empress Mother’s gaze almost swept Qu Mo Ying’s entire person, and only after a long time did she say, “I heard that Fourth Miss Qu’s eye disease was quite heavy, is this better?”

“When I returned to the capital, it’s already almost good, the reason why I’ve been wearing it is to prevent seeing strong light, a few days ago, His Highness the King of England brought over a famous doctor from Jiangnan, and after looking at it for my daughter, he said that it’s already unhindered.” Qu Mo Ying replied with a single glance.

“King Ying made a special trip to the Qu Mansion and looked into your eyes, when was that?” The Empress smiled.

“Just before the pronouncement of the decree.” Quemoy Ying thought for a moment and said.

“Then King Ying really had the heart to actually make such a special trip to get the Emperor to give the order.” The Empress Mother said.

First went to see before the decree, see of course is the face, the so-called eyes is just an excuse, although the person is a long time ago booked, but if it really grows less than desired, push is just a matter of words.

The Empress Mother’s implied meaning in these words was obvious, Qu Mo Ying could understand it, and a hint of mockery flashed under her eyes.

“King Ying has always been favored by the emperor, this time first come to see over is also no excuse, the emperor there is most unwilling to aggrieve him, just … but let Qu fourth miss aggrieved, this palace next time to see King Ying, will certainly say a few words about him.” The Empress Mother smiled with a warm face, like an elder who cares about her juniors.

“Many thanks, Empress Mother!” Qu Mo Ying stood up and respectfully saluted again.

“Sit down first, you and the King of England’s things have now been finalized, the Ministry of Rites to go the process of affinity, you there if there is something missing, or missing anything, just tell this Palace, this Palace can always help you to do it. Although you later is the King of England consort, and this palace is also equal generation, but in this palace here, see you like a late generation.”

Empress Dowager was very satisfied with Qu Mo Ying’s knowledge, her complexion became more and more kind, smiling and waving her hand, the palace people on one side hurriedly helped Qu Mo Ying to sit down again.

“Many thanks to Empress Dowager.” Qu Mo Ying added.

“You also don’t need to thank this palace more, originally is what this palace should do, you don’t have a biological mother, the king of ying is the same, the old utopian county king left the capital early, also don’t know can’t rush back, this last how, or see again.” Empress Dowager said slowly and methodically, seems to be full of helplessness about the matter of Ying Wang Fu.

Qu Mo Ying didn’t answer this time, she knew that what the Empress Mother wanted now was for her to look respectful and grateful, and didn’t need her to talk too much, she just needed to listen.

Seeing that she acted in a disciplined manner and didn’t grab the conversation, the Empress Mother asked her in detail about her situation in the Qu Mansion, very concerned about her appearance, and angry about talking about Yu.

After a few words, if Qu Mo Ying didn’t have the memories of his previous life, he was afraid that he would also feel that Empress Dowager was not only a dignified and decent person, but also warm and virtuous, an unparalleled virtuous empress.

For the King of England is also everything to take care of, although sometimes also laugh at the King of England’s behavior is not proper, but basically sounds like a rebuke for their own children, so that people can not rise half a bit of resentment, but also to organize the King of England’s relatives mean, but also deliberately asked the Qu Mo Ying’s opinion.

Qu Mo Ying basically bowed his head and listened to the Empress Dowager’s words, occasionally responding with just a simple one or two words, respectful and very satisfying to the Empress Dowager.

On the way out, he also rewarded Qu Mo Ying with a whole bunch of gifts, and only then did Qu Mo Ying leave.

When she walked to the outside of the main hall, she looked back at the palace gate and didn’t rush, just now she also expressed her desire to go and see Mrs. Qu, the Empress as if she didn’t hear it, this is a deliberate attempt to take Qiao, Qu Mo Ying is very clear.

Sure enough, a palace maid came out from inside and smiled as she bowed to Qu Mo Ying, “Fourth Miss Qu, the Empress Mother has asked her slave girl to guide you to see Dowager Consort Qu.”

“Many thanks to Empress Dowager.” Qu Mo Ying hurriedly bowed to the great hall.

“Fourth Miss Qu please follow the slave girl.” The palace maid guided Qu Mo Ying down from atop the high danque.

The palace gate of the Pepper Palace is very high, and the danque is very large and wide.

Some people are coming down and some people are coming up.

Sensing that someone was looking at her, Qu Mo Ying subconsciously raised her head and looked at a middle-aged woman coming from the other side of the Dan Que, her appearance researching and colorful, even though she was not young, she could still see her youthful appearance and style.

Meet, Liu Shangshu’s wife, Liu Jingyu’s birth mother, that is, that first lady of the Duke of Qi’s house.

Seeing Qu Mo Ying’s gaze look over, Mrs. Liu smiled faintly, her features amiable.

The two under the far staggered body, Mrs. Liu also followed behind a palace maid, compared to the palace maid who guided herself, that side of the palace maid looks a lot more bashful, footsteps back half a step, and from time to time bend down to talk, remind Mrs. Liu to look at the steps under the feet.

One goes up, one goes down, not on a line, misses!

When he reached the bottom of the Dan Que steps, Qu Mo Ying looked back behind him, and from afar, he could only see Mrs. Liu’s back.

“This is Shangshu Liu’s wife, the mother of Prefect Jingyu.” The palace maid thought she was curious and laughed in a low voice, no one in the palace dared to offend the King of England, and being able to make friends with this future Princess of England was also considered to be making some good karma.

“Empress Mother is very fond of Mrs. Liu?” Qu Mo Ying seemed to be a bit surprised, and after her eyes flowed, she asked abruptly.

This was a somewhat rude question to ask, and the palace maid hesitated for a moment, but still whispered, “Yes, the Empress Mother and Mrs. Liu used to be on good terms when they were in their boudoirs.”

“Fourth Miss Qu please, slave girl will take you to Tai Consort Qu’s palace.” Afraid that she would still want to ask further, the palace maid smiled and led the way.

Knowing that the palace maid no longer dared to reveal any other news, Qu Mo Ying entered the palace sedan chair that was parked to the side, and the sedan chair slowly started to move.

Mrs. Liu was so close to the Empress Dowager, why hadn’t she heard of it in her last life? Never met this Mrs. Liu Shangshu in the Pepper Room Hall.

Much less have they heard of such a person from the Empress Mother’s mouth, only occasionally encountering them in some banquets.

Why is it that such a person, who is obviously on such good terms with the Empress Dowager, and by the looks of it is also a frequent visitor, and he knows nothing about it?

Could it be that she overlooked something …

When the palace sedan chair arrived at the door of Dowager Consort Qu’s palace, the palace maid said a few words to the courtiers guarding the doorway before turning back to the Pepper Room Hall.

When Qu Mo Ying got out of the sedan chair, Dowager Consort Qu had already sent someone over to welcome her.

Before a big illness, Qu Tai Consort’s face is still not very good, when she saw Qu Mo Ying’s spirit is good, pulling her to sit down on one side, up and down after looking at her a few times, but also very satisfied.

“Remove the eye veil is also convenient, can’t always wear it like this, eyes see bright light comfortable? Do you want to let the palace doctor treat it again?”

Crown Princess Qu took Qu Mo Ying’s hand and said with concern.

“It’s all healed up, it was just recuperating before, there’s nothing wrong with it now, as long as you don’t look up at the sky in the hot midday sun.”

Qu Mo Ying laughed.

“That’s good, that’s good, it’s good that it’s all right! It’s really a blessing!” Crown Princess Qu was genuinely happy for Qu Mo Ying, a girl who was still young, if she really suffered from an eye disease that forced her to wear a veil, even if she wasn’t really blind, it would still make people look and gossip behind her back.

“You went to the Empress’ palace to thank her for her favor? What did the Empress say?”

“Empress Dowager didn’t say anything, she only asked me about some old stories.” Qu Mo Ying replied.

“The matter between King Ying and you is now sort of settled, which is a good thing.” Crown Princess Qu smiled and said, pulling Qu Mo Ying’s hand and patting the back of her hand gently.

Qu Mo Ying blushed slightly and lowered her head, gently biting her lip.

“If you marry King Ying in the future, then you’ll be a royal person, not only the Empress Mother, but also other ladies from various palaces will be in contact, you need to be more careful.” Tai Consort Qu sighed softly and reached out to touch the top of her hair again, she truly treated Qu Mo Ying as her own granddaughter in general.

Originally just a task, slowly turned the mood, and then look at the girl, has been different from the nature of the day.

“Empress Dowager is a sweet and bitter face, you just need to remember that you are marrying King Ying, you need to be careful.” Qu Taifei whispered, these words originally should not be said, if let people hear, she has little foundation of Taifei may have a big problem, but even so, Qu Taifei felt that it is better to let Qu Mo Ying have a bottom in her heart.

“Empress … does not like King Ying?” These words should not have been exported with Qu Mo Ying’s cautious nature, but at this moment, they were said extremely naturally, as if the one in front of her was her true grandmother.
