Mrs. Zhao, the mother of Zhao Zhongyi, the original consort of Huajing.
Yun Shang suddenly stopped, and a complicated emotion flashed through her heart. Mrs. Zhao is actually not that old. Zhao Zhongyi is about twenty-four or five years old, and Mrs. Zhao only looks about forty-five years old. It's just that
Because she was the mother of the Prince Consort and the wife of the late General Zhao, everyone respectfully addressed her as Mrs. Zhao.
Yun Shang still remembered the time when she saw Mrs. Zhao in the princess's mansion in Huajing in this life. She was wearing a dark red dress, her brows were lightly frowned, and her eyes were sharp. That kind of expression was not like that of ordinary women in the imperial city.
It's just that Yun Shang thought that when she was young, she and her husband could be regarded as fighting in all directions, and they had seen big battles.
Mrs. Zhao's appearance is not outstanding. She even looks older than her actual age due to neglect of maintenance. However, her facial features are 60-70% similar to the woman in the painting. Yun Shang wonders if she is
Even the woman in the painting couldn't help but feel a little panicked when she thought of this.
Xia Huanyu said that the woman in the painting was Hua Ling, the first queen of the Xia Kingdom. But if it was Hua Ling, how did she give birth to Prince Jing after falling into the cliff? Why did she separate from Prince Jing after leaving Prince Jing?
And why did she marry General Zhao instead of returning to Xia Kingdom to look for Xia Huanyu?
Her heart was in chaos, disturbed by all kinds of speculations that followed. Yun Shang's expression changed and she didn't lift her feet for a long time.
"Hey, Princess..." When Qianyin saw Yun Shang stopped, she thought something had happened. She looked around nervously, but she didn't find anything wrong. She saw that Yun Shang didn't move forward for a long time.
Let's go, Qianyin said softly as a reminder.
Yun Shang suppressed the thoughts in her heart. One Xia Huanyu was enough to trouble Prince Jing. If there was another Mrs. Zhao, Prince Jing would be worried about his gray hair. Yun Shang shook his head secretly, besides, Mrs. Zhao
However, she is somewhat similar to Empress Hua in the painting. There are many similar people in the world. Mrs. Zhao may not be Empress Hua. This matter needs to be investigated. Don’t tell Jing now.
Forget it, King.
Yun Shang had an idea and quickly stood up and walked to the courtyard. She had already delayed long enough. If she went back later, she was afraid that Prince Jing would lose his temper again.
Back in the house, Prince Jing was writing behind the desk. Yun Shang leaned over and saw that there were only lumps of ink on the paper, but not a single word was complete.
"What are you doing? Drawing circles?" Yun Shang smiled and shook his head. Seeing that he was only wearing a middle coat and not even a robe, he frowned again, "You were here earlier.
He said that although it was already February, the night breeze was still very cold, but you were still fooling around here in such scanty clothing. The stove had been put away, and the room was not much warmer than outside. Why don't you quickly drink a cup of hot water?
Let’s take a rest.”
Prince Jing snorted and threw away the brush in his hand. He didn't care about the ink stains on his clothes. He walked towards the collapse and fell on the couch without saying a word.
Yun Shang knew that he was upset, but she didn't annoy him. She walked to the bed and helped him take off his shoes, then pulled the quilt to cover him, and then said softly, "The Emperor of Xia is also strange. He said he came to see you.
I said you were injured in an assassination attempt, but he didn't ask if you were seriously injured. He chatted with me for a long time and never mentioned Prince Xia from the beginning to the end."
Prince Jing was silent for a moment and then said, "He must know that I am not injured at all. From what you said, I know that I don't really want to see him, so I naturally don't ask. As for Xia Houyan, since I am fine, Xia Houyan must be too
It will be fine, what is he worried about?"
Prince Jing's expression was indifferent, and Yun Shang could not see the emotion in his eyes. Yun Shang thought about Mrs. Zhao, glanced at Prince Jing, and then slowly said, "The Queen Hua's appearance doesn't look good."
The king has a beautiful country and a beautiful city, but he has a certain magnanimity of his own. Looking at the scene of the two getting along in the painting, Emperor Xia and Queen Hua must be very much in love with each other."
Prince Jing closed his eyes, as if he had not heard Yun Shang's words, and did not respond. Seeing this, Yun Shang sighed softly and changed the topic in a low voice, "Are you hungry? I just asked the housekeeper to call someone.
I’ve cooked some porridge, and if I’m hungry, I’ll get up and eat some.”
"You're not hungry, you can eat something. I never ate well at the banquet before." Prince Jing's voice came softly, without any emotion.
Yun Shang sighed again, didn't he pretend to be as cold as ice and not care at all at the palace banquet? Why was he so depressed when he came back? Xia Huanyu came to see him in person, and why didn't he see him? Is it fun to embarrass myself like this?
?
Yun Shang thought to herself that she was really hungry after asking Qianyin to bring a bowl of porridge.
After eating the porridge, Yun Shang washed up again and then lay down on the bed to rest.
Early the next morning, someone came to visit again, "Your Majesty, Xia Guoliu Yinfeng wishes to see you."
Yun Shang frowned, glanced at the bright sky outside, and then lay back down. After returning from Jingyang, Emperor Ning was exempted from going to court in the morning because Prince Jing was injured, so he didn't have to get up so early to go to court.
In addition, Prince Jing was injured and it was not suitable for him to go to the martial arts field, so the two of them got used to sleeping until daybreak.
"Just say that the princess and I haven't gotten up yet, so let him wait." Prince Jing's voice was clear and strong without any trace of the hoarseness it had when he first woke up. As soon as he finished speaking, he held Yun Shang's waist and pulled Yun Shang closer.
He stood up a little, put his head on top of Yun Shang's head, and said calmly, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
Yun Shang has always been sleepy, and this should be one of her few hobbies. When Prince Jing heard her sleepy response, her breathing gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny, so he hugged Yun Shang and closed his eyes.
He closed his eyes and took a nap.
When the two woke up again, it was already close to noon. Yun Shang had completely forgotten what happened in the morning. She was pulled sleepily by Qian Yin to wash up, and then she regained some energy. Qian Yin put on Yun Shang's clothes.
She said softly, "Then Liu Yinfeng has been waiting in the front hall for almost two hours, and the princess continues to make him wait?"
"Huh?" Yun Shang was stunned, "Liu Yinfeng? When did he come?"
Qianyin was stunned for a moment, then stamped her feet and said, "I know that the princess is half asleep and half awake, so I'm afraid she doesn't know anything. She came when she got up this morning. I came to report. The prince said that you haven't gotten up yet, so let me
He waited. The slave did not dare to tell him like this. He only said that before the prince and princess got up, Liu Yinfeng had been having tea in the front hall for two hours..."
"..." Yun Shang turned to look at Prince Jing, "Is this happening?"
Prince Jing nodded casually and told the boy who was dressing him what to eat for lunch. He seemed not to have heard what Yun Shang and Qian Yin were saying at all.
Yun Shang looked at Prince Jing's appearance and knew that this matter was indeed caused by the unreasonable Prince Jing. After all, the other party was an important minister of the Xia Kingdom, so it was not good for him to be so negligent. It was just yesterday that Prince Jing
The news of the injury has been released, and it is impossible to expect Prince Jing to see guests. Yun Shang thought, and asked Qian Yin to move faster. She put on her clothes and combed her hair in a few steps, then turned around and faced
Prince Jing said, "I'll go to the front hall and have a look." After saying that, he went out.
Although he had been waiting for nearly two hours, Liu Yinfeng still showed no signs of anxiety. Wearing a green suit, he sat quietly in the front hall with his hand on the lid of the teacup, as if thinking about something.
Hearing the footsteps, he turned his eyes lightly, his eyes fell on Yun Shang's face, and he stopped. He looked at Yun Shang for a moment, then stood up and saluted, "Princess."
Yun Shang nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down, "I'm sorry to keep Master Liu waiting for so long."
Liu Yinfeng paused, shook his head, put the tea cup in his hand, and said calmly, "You always like to stay in bed, I know that."
Yun Shang was so speechless that she didn't know how to respond. She did get up very late when she was in Liu Yinfeng's yard. On the first day, Uncle Liu brought breakfast over early in the morning, so Yun Shang asked
Uncle Liu didn't have to be so early and disturb her to sleep. Later, Uncle Liu stopped sending breakfast. She originally thought that Liu Yinfeng, as an army strategist, should be relatively busy. Even if she lived in the courtyard, she was afraid that Liu Yinfeng would be busy.
Yinfeng had never paid close attention to her, but he didn't expect that he even knew this.
But...since you know, why are you here so early?
"Through all calculations, I never would have guessed that you are actually Princess Jing. You should have gone to explore the terrain in Qingfeng Valley that day, otherwise you wouldn't be so familiar with the plants in Qingfeng Valley." Liu
Yinfeng's eyes fell on the plum blossoms painted on the tea cup, his expression was calm and his tone was calm.
Yun Shang smiled softly, "It's exactly what Military Advisor Liu thought."
Liu Yinfeng raised his eyes and looked at the woman on the throne. Although she looked too outstanding when she was wearing men's clothing, she was also chic and handsome, and her words and deeds did not show any trace of femininity. She was different from other young ladies.
There was no difference, so he never had any doubts. Now looking at her in women's clothing, he felt that the woman in front of him was charming, gentle and calm, nothing like her when she was in men's clothing.
So that day when he was upstairs in Yuman, even if he met her face to face, he was just surprised that her appearance was so similar to that of Xiao Yun, but he never doubted that she was Xiao Yun.
Later, it was just that the look she looked at from a distance in that elegant room was too similar to Xiao Yun's. Moreover, two people could have the same appearance, but it was difficult for them to have the same fragrance and the same eyes.
So he realized what he was doing halfway through and turned back in a hurry.
"At that time, because of his status, he deceived Military Advisor Liu. Military Advisor Liu has a lot of people, so he probably won't blame him." Yun Shang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled lightly.
Liu Yinfeng did not answer, but asked, "Then it was you who broke the formation outside the courtyard?"
Yun Shang was stunned when he heard this and shook his head, "After you led the army away, I tried to break into the formation, but was injured by the poisonous gas in the formation and fell into a coma. It was the prince who came to save me..."
Liu Yinfeng was silent for a moment, then said as if sighing, "I see." (To be continued)
