Chapter 301 Lord Yun Wanted to Reveal Their Relationship

Qu Moying knew that having it taken away by Lord Yun would be less conspicuous than taking it out of the palace by herself, but it would also let the people in Qu Mansion know that her relationship with Pei Yuanjun was unusual!

However, she had expected this. It was settled when she agreed to marry Lord Yun.

Since it was settled, she didn’t have to hide it, in case Old Lady Qu continued to worry about her marriage.

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Qu Moying bit her lower lip and thought for a moment before nodding.

Pei Yuanjun’s face softened as he saw her nod so quickly. He elegantly picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip. “Tell me, how are you going to deal with it?”

Qu Moying knew that he was asking about the matter of Third Young Master He and Qu Mingcheng, so she answered with a sweet smile, “Your Highness, I will do according to your instruction!”

Dowager Consort Qu was not the person to make a decision on this matter. Only Lord Yun could make the decision.

Pei Yuanjun asked with a faint smile, “I heard that you were on a blind date?”

Qu Moying answered directly with a faint smile, “It was my grandmother’s idea. Moreover, it was not me who went on a blind date. It was my Eldest Sister.”

No matter what Third Young Master He was like, she had never thought of being with him. It was just that she was in a helpless state at that time, and she could only do as her grandmother wished first.

“It seems that First Lady Qu really wants to get married!” Pei Yuanjun said meaningfully with a cold and murderous look in his eyes.

Qu Moying didn’t know how to respond to his words, so she just smiled and asked, “Your Highness, do you know if my Eldest Sister has a good relationship with County Lady Jingyu?”

Pei Yuanjun answered, “I don’t know. You can ask Ji Hai later!”

Hearing Pei Yuanjun mention him, Ji Hai hurriedly walked out from behind Pei Yuanjun and said with a smile, “Fourth Lady, I know. I will tell Yu Dong about this.”

Then, he waved at Yu Dong.

Yu Dong looked at Qu Moying. Qu Moying nodded helplessly. How could she not let Yu Dong go over now?

Ji Hai was all smiles. He and Yu Dong walked over to the stairs to talk, leaving only Qu Moying and Pei Yuanjun in the room.

Pei Yuanjun said lazily, “Take a seat!”

Qu Moying sat down and looked up at Pei Yuanjun. “Your Highness, I’m afraid my father will come to you soon.”

Qu Mingcheng was Qu Zhizhen’s only son. Even if Qu Zhizhen was afraid of Pei Yuanjun, he would come to him in the end.

Pei Yuanjun snorted, “How dare a callow youth plot against my woman!”

Looking at Pei Yuanjun, Qu Moying was speechless. Perhaps in Pei Yuanjun’s eyes, Qu Mingcheng was indeed a callow youth. What Qu Mingcheng had done was probably just a ridiculous trick in his eyes.

However, Qu Moying had to live in Qu Mansion. The ridiculous trick in his eyes might be fatal to her.

Pei Yuanjun asked lazily, “How about I let him join the army?”

“No…” Qu Moying shook her head. “My Second Brother is my father’s only son. My father cherishes him very much.”

Her words were vague, but Pei Yuanjun understood them. He raised his handsome eyes, looked at her a few times, and smiled mysteriously. “I will let Vice Minister Qu know your relationship with me through this incident.”

Qu Moying’s heart skipped a beat. What was the relationship between the two of them?

Qu Moying smiled and said casually, “Your Highness, since it’s your idea, I will listen to you.”

“If I tell Vice Minister Qu directly that I want you, what will he do?” Pei Yuanjun seemed to have thought of something funny and smiled.

Qu Moying glanced at him and was speechless at his idea.

He was known for being ferocious, but now he was smiling beautifully.

“Dowager Consort Qu is not closely connected to Qu Mansion. I heard that her family used to be Qu Mansion’s relative, but that was more than five generations back. She lives in the palace alone. She doesn’t have a child. She rarely goes out and socializes with people, but she could summon you into the palace at such a crucial time. His Majesty is quite respectful to her.”

Pei Yuanjun said with a smile. It could be seen that he was in a good mood, but there was a meaningful look in his eyes.

Qu Moying’s heart skipped a beat. She had thought about it, but she didn’t think about it so deeply. She found it strange because a concubine like Dowager Consort Qu was usually not allowed to stay in the palace, but she stayed in the palace, and she acted like she was quite used to it.

Qu Moying thought about it and asked, “Is His Majesty indebted to Dowager Consort Qu?”

Pei Yuanjun looked at her and suddenly smiled. “Sort of!”

Since Pei Yuanjun reacted like this, she knew it might not be the right answer. She asked again, “Is someone close to His Majesty indebted to her?”

“The Empress Dowager owed a debt of gratitude to Dowager Consort Qu. It was said to happen when they were both young. The Empress Dowager was almost abolished. Fortunately, Dowager Consort Qu spoke up for her. Because of this, although the Empress Dowager has passed away, His Majesty is still grateful to her. Of course, there is more than one person who is indebted to Dowager Consort Qu!” Pei Yuanjun said lazily, with a hidden meaning in his words.

It turned out that there was such a story. It was no wonder that Dowager Consort Qu was still living in the palace. Moreover, it seemed that she could go out of the palace casually. It was just that she was extremely low-key.

In her previous life, she didn’t hear of such a Dowager Consort in the harem.

Qu Moying bit her lips and asked bluntly, “Dowager Consort Qu sent a Discipline Granny to me. Will this affect you?”

Although Granny Yan being by her side could somewhat help her, she was afraid that this would ruin Pei Yuanjun’s plan, so she asked him frankly.

There were some things that they both knew, but they didn’t put them on the table yet.

Pei Yuanjun was very satisfied with Qu Moying’s words and said casually, “It’s fine. It’s just a palace servant. It’s not bad for her to stay by your side. At least, you can know Dowager Consort Qu’s attitude.”

“What is Dowager Consort Qu’s attitude?” Qu Moying was curious about this. Granny Yan should have returned to the palace long ago, but she kept staying in Qianyue House. Moreover, she didn’t interfere too much with Qu Moying’s affairs, and she even helped Qu Moying when necessary.

When Granny Yan entered the mansion, she even caused a ruckus with Qu Qiuyan about Qu Caiyue. Qu Moying would never forget that.

“Dowager Consort Qu wants to find the best one.” Pei Yuanjun said meaningfully as he elegantly reached out and grabbed Qu Moying’s hand. “Let’s go down and have a walk!”

“Wh… what?” Qu Moying was pulled up by him. Touching his cold palm, she subconsciously trembled.

Whether it was in her previous life or this life, her hand had never been held by a man like this. She looked up, only to see his handsome and almost demonic eyes.

“Since we meet each other today, we have to go and take a walk, lest the people in the palace make all kinds of guesses about us!” Pei Yuanjun said lazily. He held Qu Moying’s hand and walked out.

Seeing Qu Moying being pulled over by Pei Yuanjun, Ji Hai and Yu Dong hurriedly retreated to the side. Both of them were full of smiles.

Qu Moying was pulled down by Pei Yuanjun. When they were on the ground floor, Pei Yuanjun’s sleeve drooped, covering their hands.

After thinking for a while, Qu Moying slightly moved her hand and said, “Your Highness, I can grasp your sleeve.”

Although others couldn’t see it, she could still feel Pei Yuanjun’s hand tightly holding her fingers. It was so cold that she even felt a trace of palpitation.

“Since you’ve already accepted it, do you still want to fake it? Qu Moying, are you this timid and you still want to investigate the ex-Crown Princess’ matter?” Pei Yuanjun glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and loosened his grip, which meant that he was about to let go of her hand.

Gritting her teeth, Qu Moying grabbed his cold finger. She straightened her neck, and the blush on her face slowly faded away. “Where are you going to enjoy the view, Your Highness?”

Pei Yuanjun did not take his hand back, allowing Qu Moying’s tender fingers to hold his slender finger. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a bit of evilness, “Let’s go to the front to admire the flowers!”

This time, Qu Moying did not say anything. She couldn’t decide what to do, and she only needed to follow Pei Yuanjun.

The place to admire flowers was not far away, right next to a rockery. A flower tree was planted at the side of a rockery in front of them. It looked like a peach blossom tree from a distance, but it was not the time for peach blossoms to bloom.

When they got closer, Qu Moying found that it was not a peach blossom tree. It just looked similar.

She had never seen flowers blooming so beautifully at such a time. Standing under the tree, Qu Moying looked up and found that the flower was not small. Each flower was the size of four or five peach blossoms. It looked even more beautiful.

“What kind of flower is this?” Qu Moying could not help but ask. She had never seen this flower before.

“It’s not a famous flower. It’s just an ordinary one.” Pei Yuanjun’s eyes fell on the flower in front of him, and his lips curved silently with a bit of ridicule.

Qu Moying didn’t understand why he showed a sneer, and she didn’t know if he sneered at her words, so she stopped asking and focused on admiring the flowers in front of her.

The two of them stopped talking and quietly watched the flowers in front of them. Although Qu Moying was a bit thin and looked like a flower that could easily be broken, she still looked gentle and elegant. The scene was quite pleasing to the eye when she stood next to the handsome Pei Yuanjun. The only eyesore was the eye veil.

Although the fluttering eye veil looked alright in the wind, it was something used to bind the eyes.

Although the sleeve covered their hands, people could easily realize that they must be holding each other’s hands. They looked like a perfect couple.

The emperor was now on a small path, staring blankly at the man and the lady under the tree. Li Quan asked carefully, “Your Majesty, do you want to summon Lord Yun over?”
