Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 300 – A Gift From Lord Yun

Chapter 300 A Gift from Lord Yun

After being stunned for a moment, Qu Moying quickly reacted and lowered her head respectfully, but there was also a hint of indifference in her tone. “Thank you, Your Highness. I dare not trouble you!”

“Uncle Yun happened to be in the palace.” Pei Qingmin suddenly said something irrelevant, his handsome eyes still locked on Qu Moying.

Qu Moying really couldn’t get Lord Wei’s meaning. His words were confusing.

“Your Highness, Dowager Consort Qu is still waiting…” Qu Moying tentatively said. If she didn’t understand his words, she wouldn’t answer him, but she would like to see how this prince would continue the dialogue.

Seeing her like this, Pei Qingmin seemed to lose interest. He looked at her and said indifferently, “Move on!”

Qu Moying retreated to the side.

The carriage set off. Looking at the slender figure standing aside, Pei Qingmin smiled and tapped gently on the sedan railing with his finger.

Qu Moying looked not bad with the eye veil, at least much more pleasing to the eye than those showy ladies. Seeing that she retreated to the side, Pei Qingmin wondered if she deliberately kept a distance from him.

He had heard that Lord Yun took a fancy to her, but there was no further news. Could it be that Lord Yun didn’t like her anymore, so he pretended nothing had happened between the two of them?

If that was the case, Qu Moying was quite pitiful. Her first engagement had been canceled by the other party. After that, she bumped into Lord Yun, and Lord Yun said that he would have her. However, the matter was shelved, and it seemed that he was not going to honor his word.

However, he thought Qu Moying deserved it because she was so greedy for vanity that she always tried to bump into a royal family member.

Pei Qingmin closed his eyes and curled his lips. If not for her personality, he would have been willing to marry her. Anyway, the emperor wouldn’t care too much about whom he married.

As for his mother, she would not argue with him about the marriage because his prospect would not be affected no matter whom he married.

However, Qu Moying’s temperament was really not pleasing!

He would not go against his mother’s will for such a woman…

Qu Moying did not know that Lord Wei judged her like this. However, even if she knew it, she would not care. She didn’t care about what Lord Wei thought of her because she didn’t need him to like her.

Originally, she should have kept a distance from Lord Wei. She didn’t think that Lord Wei was as weak as he appeared to be.

Hearing that Qu Moying had come, Dowager Consort Qu smiled and let her in.

After bowing to Dowager Consort Qu, Qu Moying pleaded for Qu Mingcheng as she had been instructed by Qu Zhizhen.

After quietly listening to Qu Moying’s words, Dowager Consort Qu put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Qu Moying kindly. “I’m afraid that your Second Brother doesn’t really take you as his sister, right?”

Dowager Consort Qu had seen all kinds of schemes in the palace, and she had seen a lot of such tricks. Hearing that Second Young Master Qu went to He Mansion to ask for an explanation, she knew that he wanted He Mansion to drag Qu Moying into the mire and ruin her reputation.

Qu Moying said bluntly, “Second Brother is madam’s biological son. Madam has angered my father many times. Second Brother thought that it was me who sowed discord between my father and madam. However, if I could really influence my father, I would not have been abandoned in the village for so many years.”

She couldn’t hide these things from anyone. As for the estrangement between Qu Mingcheng and her, she did not want to hide it from Dowager Consort Qu.

She told everything without reserve.

“Why do you still want to save your Second Brother?” Dowager Consort Qu asked in surprise.

“My father asked me to do so, so I naturally have to come to ask you for help, Dowager Consort.” Qu Moying lowered her head and pursed her lips with a bit of grievance and helplessness!

Dowager Consort Qu looked at Granny Yan, and Granny Yan nodded.

“Good girl, sit down first!” Dowager Consort Qu knew that what Qu Moying said was true. She held Qu Moying’s tender hand and let her sit down beside her.

Then, she kindly said, “Go back and tell your father that I’m afraid I can’t do anything about it. On the one hand, people in the harem are not allowed to intervene in political matters. On the other hand, I have no power and influence in the palace now. All I rely on is the emperor’s respect for the late emperor. I am unable to let Lord Yun release him. If your father is really worried, he could go and beg Lord Yun himself. After all, Qu Mansion has nothing to do with Third Young Master He’s matter!”

After pondering for a moment, Qu Moying thanked her in a soft voice, “Thank you, Dowager Consort.”

If Qu Moying said those words to Qu Zhizhen, Qu Zhizhen wouldn’t buy her. Now that they were said by Dowager Consort Qu, Qu Zhizhen had to accept the result.

Although the words were the same, the effects were different.

She came here just because Qu Zhizhen had given her a mission, and she had expected the result.

“Good girl, you must be in a difficult situation!” Dowager Consort Qu sighed, “If you have time, you can come to see me more often. I’ll leave her for you. You can say that I summoned you whenever you want to enter the palace.”

Dowager Consort Qu pointed at Granny Yan.

With Granny Yan, it was indeed much more convenient for Qu Moying to enter the palace.

Qu Moying said gratefully, “Thank you, Dowager Consort!”

Dowager Consort Qu added, “I will talk to your grandmother about your marriage. How can you casually marry such a person? If He Mansion’s incidents hadn’t been exposed, you would have been ruined.”

Qu Moying bit her lips. It was not easy for her to answer this. She could only lower her head and reveal a shy expression. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand and nodded.

Marriage was not within her consideration.

After asking Qu Moying about her life in Qu Mansion, Dowager Consort Qu felt a little tired, so she asked Qu Moying to take a walk while she would have a rest.

Granny Yan helped Dowager Consort Qu go and have a rest. Qu Moying and Yu Dong followed a palace maid out of the hall.

She looked around and didn’t know where to go!

The palace maid pointed at a wide road and asked with a smile, “Fourth Lady Qu, the imperial garden is over there. Do you need me to lead the way?”

Qu Moying shook her head and said, “No need, thank you. I’ll just walk around.”

The palace maid retreated, and Qu Moying walked forward casually with Yu Dong.

Along the way, the scenery was very good, but it was a little hot. Yu Dong looked around and pointed at a pavilion in front of him. “Lady, let’s go there. Wind will blow through it, and the sun will be blocked. It is a good place where you can rest!”

Qu Moying nodded and followed Yu Dong.

To reach the pavilion, they had to go up the stairs first. They walked up the wooden stairs and came to the pavilion. It was quiet inside. There was a gauze blocking the sunshine. When the wind blew over, they felt cool, much cooler than walking under the sun just now.

There were pastries and a pot of tea on the table. The pastries smelled good. They could detect the smell as soon as they walked up. It could be seen that these pastries had just been sent here, which was why they smelled so good.

Yu Dong helped Qu Moying sit down at the table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for her and then retreated to the side.

Qu Moying took a sip of the tea. The color of the tea was perfect, and the taste of the tea was also good. The tea in the palace was indeed different from the tea outside.

Leaning against the windowsill, Qu Moying looked at the scenery outside and quietly waited for someone to come over.

The scenery outside was beautiful, but what attracted her the most was a small jar of water lotus by the window. Although the lotus was small, it was exquisite, and even the jar looked very beautiful.

Qu Moying could not help but stand up. She carefully picked up the small jar of water lotus from the window railing and placed it on the table. Looking at the lotus leaves and the water lotus, she felt more and more attracted by it. She had never seen such a small and beautiful water lotus.

Just as she was looking at the water lotus carefully, she heard a teasing voice, “This is a water lotus from the North. It is said to have a different style. There are a few more jars. But I think it is normal, so I casually put it here. If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”

Although Qu Moying had not seen him but just heard his voice, her body froze for a moment. Then, she turned around and saw the handsome Lord Yun sitting lazily on the big chair behind her. She did not know when he came.

He wore a dark purple royal robe with iris flower patterns, and they were embroidered with golden threads. There weren’t many of them, but they made the dark purple robe look luxurious.

It seemed that Lord Yun really liked iris flowers. Qu Moying saw that there were different iris flower patterns on his clothes. Some of them were embroidered on the collar, and some were embroidered on the lapel, giving off different feelings. The patterns were golden, which might be a sign that indicated his extraordinary identity.

He supported his head with his hand. His posture was very relaxed and lazy. He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were inexplicably gloomy, which made people not dare to look at him carefully and could only lower their heads.

Even when Lord Yun was not as cold and scary as before, few people dared to look straight at him!

Qu Moying sighed slightly in her heart. Even a woman would be jealous of his handsome face.

“Greetings, Your Highness!” Qu Moying turned around and bowed to Pei Yuanjun. Since she had come here, it was natural for her to see Pei Yuanjun. Moreover, Yu Dong served her the pastries freely just now. It could be seen that he knew that these pastries were prepared for her.

After sizing her up, Pei Yuanjun suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled. “How is it? Do you like it?”

“It is indeed beautiful.” Qu Moying nodded and said directly. She turned to look at the water lotus. She had never seen such a lotus before.

Pei Yuanjun waved his hand and said slowly, “Since you like it, just take it!”

“I… I don’t think it is a good idea. If people see it, they might spread rumors that will affect you.” Qu Moying hesitated for a moment and refused. However, her eyes were still fixed on the jar of water lotus. It could be seen that she really liked the water lotus.

Since this jar of water lotus was a tribute from the North, there wouldn’t be many of it. If she took it out of the palace, others might gossip if they saw it. Qu Moying didn’t like to be high-profile, nor did she want to be so eye-catching.

“I took it here, so I will take it out. After you return to your mansion, someone will send it to you. You just need to receive it.”

Pei Yuanjun looked at her playfully and suddenly smiled. He was not as scary as before. His handsome eyes were glistening.
