Xiangzhu Palace should be the palace where Ning Qian lives. Yun Shang thought to himself, and saw a flash of hatred in the queen's eyes, and then covered it up, smiling lightly, "I also said that I would have a nice chat with you.
We are chatting, since His Majesty invites you, you can go first."
Yun Shang quickly agreed, saluted the queen, and followed the palace man out.
"I haven't seen your father for a long time, and I want to go too." Princess Qianling's voice came from behind, "Sister-in-law, wait for me."
Yun Shang paused for a moment, and then her hand was held by Princess Qianling. After leaving Yunqi Palace, Princess Qianling glanced at the palace servant who was walking some distance in front of them, and then whispered, "Tell sister-in-law quietly.
, then the Xiang noble concubine in the Xiang Bamboo Palace is more beautiful than my sister-in-law. But she doesn’t pay much attention to Qian Ling, and Qian Ling doesn’t like her.”
Yun Shang's eyes fell on Qian Ling's face, but when she saw the innocence on her face, she couldn't help but feel a cold feeling in her heart. Children who grew up in the palace really couldn't retain their innocence. Only a twelve-year-old child
The girl was so scheming that she first told her that Xianggui's concubine was prettier than her. Women have always been petty-minded, especially those with outstanding looks. People who are more beautiful than themselves always harbor a certain amount of hostility. Qian Ling's purpose was then
He wanted to arouse her displeasure with Xiang Guifei, and then said that Xiang Guifei ignored Qian Ling and Qian Ling didn't like her, so he wanted to tell Yun Shang that they were on the same side.
"Really?" Yun Shang frowned, "Is she really more beautiful than me?"
Qian Ling stuck out his tongue when he heard the words and said softly, "I didn't say that. Ever since my sister-in-law came, everyone in the palace who has seen my sister-in-law has been comparing her to the concubines of the Hunan noble family."
Yun Shang smiled slightly and stopped talking.
The Xiang Bamboo Hall is exactly as its name suggests, with many Xiang bamboos planted there. When Yun Shang walked in, she heard the sound of a musical instrument coming from the hall. Behind a piece of white gauze, someone could faintly be seen playing the musical instrument.
"Father, father." Qian Ling shouted loudly before seeing anyone, threw away Yun Shang's hand and rushed into the palace.
"It's Qian Ling." Xia Huanyu's voice came, calm and seemingly without any emotion.
Yun Shang suddenly remembered that the previous booklet said that Xia Huanyu always loved Princess Qianling. She paused slightly and walked in. Sure enough, Ning Qian was playing the piano. Xia Huanyu was sitting on a chair beside him, holding his arms
Qian Ling just rushed in.
"Greetings to the emperor, and greetings to the concubine Xiang." Yun Shang stepped forward and saluted.
"Get up." Xia Huanyu said softly.
Yun Shang stood up. As soon as he stood firm, he heard Xia Huanyu ask, "Why did you come into the palace today?"
Yun Shang quickly lowered her head and responded, "Princess Qianling is here to play in the palace, and I will send Princess Qianling back to the palace."
When Xia Huanyu heard this, his eyes fell on Qian Ling in his arms. He looked thoughtfully and looked away lightly, "Well, now that we have entered the palace, let's play chess with the others."
When Ning Qian heard this, she quickly ordered someone to bring the chessboard up. Yun Shang sat opposite Xia Huanyu. She was a little confused about Xia Huanyu's thoughts. Did she call her here just to play chess with her?
Frowning her eyebrows, Yun Shang looked at Xia Huanyu's failure, and then quickly followed him.
After playing a game of chess for more than an hour, Qian Ling had complained many times that he was bored, but he never left. After the game, Xia Huanyu frowned again, "Your chess skills have improved a bit. Just now, the victory was a little bit close to the others. Let's try again."
One round."
Yun Shang silently put the chess pieces back into the box and responded, "Yes."
Halfway through the game, Qian Ling yawned and shouted a few times, "Qian Ling is going back first, it's time for dinner." After saying this, he skipped out without waiting for Xia Huanyu's response.
Xia Huanyu then slowly spoke, "If nothing happens in this palace, it's better to come here less often. Qianlings are always followed by secret guards when they leave the palace. Nothing will happen. Next time you find an excuse to go back.
That’s it.”
Yun Shang didn't understand what he meant. After pondering for a moment, he agreed, "Yes."
After Xia Huanyu finished speaking, he turned to Ning Qian and said, "I and Princess Rui will have dinner here tonight. You go and prepare."
Ning Qian raised her eyes and looked at Yun Shang. Fang nodded and retreated with the palace attendants.
"Liu Wen'an, more tea." Xia Huanyu turned to look at Liu Wen'an standing aside.
Liu Wen'an hurriedly stepped forward to refill the tea, and Xia Huanyu spoke again, "Everything is fine in Qingyan, but it's just too emotional. Now everyone in the palace and harem knows that you are his weakness. If you don't want me to help him personally,
Remove this weak spot and be careful not to hinder Qing Yan. I heard that you are a smart person, even Yin Feng praised you, but I really can't see that you have
What's so extraordinary about you?" Xia Huanyu said, "I hope you are as capable as the rumors say. In this former harem, everyone is staring at you and saying they value you, so you can survive and be protected.
life."
Hearing this, Yun Shang was silent for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand."
After the game was over, Xia Huanyu did not really leave Yun Shang to finish his meal, but simply said calmly, "During this period, the Ya tribe in the southwest of Xia Kingdom was in riots, and Duke Hua, who had not sent troops for many years, invited troops to fight.
You should get closer to the people in the Duke's palace these days. Prince Rui should be leaving the palace soon, so I will ask Liu Wen'an to take you there."
Yun Shang responded and followed Liu Wen'an out of the Xiangzhu Palace, but she kept thinking about what Xia Huanyu said just now. She also knew that Duke Hua had not sent troops for a long time.
As the Duke of the country, he ignores the affairs of the court. Now he suddenly invites troops to fight to suppress the rebellion. I'm afraid it has something to do with the prince.
Liu Wen'an took Yun Shang to the door of the meeting hall, asked Yun Shang to wait for a moment, and then walked in. After a while, Luo Qingyan walked out quickly, and when he saw Yun Shang standing outside the hall, his originally stern face softened.
After picking up a few, he walked up to Yun Shang and said, "Why did you enter the palace? How long have you been waiting?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Prince Qianling came to the palace earlier. I sent her back to the palace and sat with Concubine Yun for a while. Then the emperor summoned her to the Xiangzhu Palace, where I played two dishes with the emperor.
chess."
Luo Qingyan nodded, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and pack my things, and then we'll go back home."
Yun Shang responded and stood waiting at the door of the meeting hall. After a while, Prince Jing walked out with several people in official uniforms. Yun Shang smiled and watched him say goodbye to those officials, and then walked to
In front of Yun Shang, he took Yun Sang's hand and walked towards the palace gate.
"I've seen the Princess Qianling you mentioned twice, but... she's so innocent..." Luo Qingyan said softly, with the emphasis on the word "innocent". Yun Shang smiled slightly and understood what he wanted to say.
.
"Well, I'll keep an eye on it."
However, Yun Shang did not expect that something happened to Princess Qian Ling. Early the next morning, as soon as Yun Shang got up, she saw Prince Jing frowning slightly, turning around and saying to Yun Shang, "Qian Ling.
The princess had abdominal pain last night, and the imperial doctor said she was poisoned. There is a lot of commotion in the palace now. I heard Qian Yin say that Princess Qianling ate some osmanthus cake at the house yesterday?"
Yun Shang nodded and knew that this matter was probably directed at her. (To be continued)
