Yun Shang was too lazy to pay attention to what happened in the palace that day. She only heard that the young prince had changed a nanny. The new nanny's surname was Liu, and her given name was Qianyan. She was originally a maid serving the old lady in Taiwei Su's mansion. At the time of entering the palace,
Not long ago, I heard that the child was taken away by a thief. Liu Qianyan met the old lady on the way to find the child. The old lady felt pity for her and took her into her side. She also tried every means to find out the whereabouts of Liu Qianyan's child and rescued her.
Her children earned Liu Qianyan's loyalty.
"Loyal and loyal..." Yun Shang was teasing a pair of parrots that Luo Qingyan had just given her in the courtyard. She chuckled lightly and repeated it twice.
"Loyal, loyal." The two parrots imitated Yun Shang's words one after the other, even imitating the contemptuous tone. Yun Shang couldn't help laughing and threw some of the grains in his hands.
Entering the bird cage, he calmly ordered, "These two parrots are very interesting, but I never like keeping these strange things in the yard. Send them to the palace and give them to Ning Qian."
Qian Yin quickly responded and had someone remove the birdcage and take it out of the yard.
Yun Shang walked back to the room and lay down on the soft couch. After a while, Qian Yin followed him in. After looking around, he asked in a low voice, "I heard that many adults in the court asked the emperor to say,
The triennial talent show is coming soon, so Your Majesty will issue an order to summon the beautiful girls to the palace."
Yun Shang nodded lightly, "Xia Kingdom does have the habit of drafting talent shows. Once every three years, the harem can only accommodate so many newcomers and old friends. I'm afraid there will be another fight."
Qianyin saw that Yunshang seemed to be completely unconcerned and said quickly, "Didn't the princess say that Sister Qinyi has trained many talented and beautiful women who can enter the harem? Now is a good opportunity."
"Look at how impatient you are." Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh, shook her head and said, "You are so impatient. Didn't the secret guard tell you that the master of the harem didn't really want this draft?
We just pretended that it didn't happen. It was Li Qianmo, the Minister of Punishment, and several other adults who submitted a letter together, which allowed His Majesty to confirm the matter."
Qianyin's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly smiled and said, "The slave said how could the princess be so calm? It turned out that she had already made plans in advance, and the slave had to worry about it in vain."
Yun Shang smiled slightly, and then said, "I said before, I was just a fledgling, so I let them manipulate me. Gradually, when all my threads are laid, those who have offended me will
I will not let anyone go."
A murderous look flashed in Qianyin's eyes, and she said after a while, "I believe that the princess can do it."
Yun Shang stood up with a smile and said calmly, "A few days ago, Qianshui Yiren Pavilion sent me a purple brocade waist-length skirt? And some new jewelry?"
Qianyin nodded, "I sent some as a gift, but the princess wants to give it away?"
"Giving it away?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Why do you want to give it away? Go get it and I will put it on. I will go to the Xiangzhu Hall later and I heard about the concubines coming and going in the Xiangzhu Hall recently.
There are also many concubines."
Qian Yin didn't understand what Yun Shang was going to do, but she quickly fetched the things and put them on Yun Shang. Her eyes were full of surprise, "Ordinary princesses always like to wear clothes with loose clothes and big sleeves, and they look very pretty."
It is elegant, but it lacks a bit of feminine charm. Once you wear this long skirt with a waist, I am afraid that when the prince comes back later, he will not be able to take his eyes away. The jewelry of Qianshui Yiren Pavilion has also become more and more unique.
Although it is not the very complicated and gorgeous type that noble people often wear, it is just right and has a bit of nobility, such as these purple pearl earrings and purple jade engraved gold hairpin."
Yun Shang raised her hand to hold the ear pendant, and said with a slight smile, "You tell Qian Shui, I am very satisfied with their current craftsmanship, please note it."
Qianyin quickly agreed, helped Yun Shang stand up, and said softly, "I have hired two new maids to serve the princess. They are all selected after thousands of selections. I called them here to show the princess. The princess is left and right.
Entering the palace this time is not a serious occasion, so let’s take the two of them to see the world.”
Yun Shang responded with a smile, her eyes fell on the person in the mirror, she looked up and down, then picked up the unused pen on the side, applied some pink rouge, and outlined the shape of a peach blossom between her eyebrows.
, and traced it carefully with white, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Princess, someone is here." Qianyin's voice came from behind. Yun Shang turned around and saw two maids about fourteen or fifteen years old standing in front of her. Although they were not very old, they looked very young.
Yun Shang, who was calm and handsome in appearance, nodded and said with a smile, "What are their names?"
The one on the left who looked quieter bowed and said, "My slave, Qian Liu." The slightly lively maid on the right also said quickly, "My slave, Qian Liu."
Yun Shang nodded slightly, "They are all good names. Since Qianyin has said it, you have been carefully selected. I believe in Qianyin's vision, so just stay with me."
The two people saluted quickly, with joy in their eyes. Yun Shang chuckled lightly and stood up, "Have you asked the housekeeper to prepare the carriage?"
Qianyin said quickly, "It's ready."
Yun Shang nodded, took Qian Liu and Qian Zui out, took a carriage, and went to the palace.
At the end of the hour, Yun Shang entered the palace gate, and saw Luo Qingyan seemed to be walking towards the palace gate, followed by the Seventh Prince and Liu Yinfeng. When Yun Shang saw this, he also stopped.
Standing there and looking at Luo Qingyan with a smile. Luo Qingyan's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to Yun Shang and looked at Yun Shang carefully and said, "Why are you dressed like this today? Are you going to the palace? Where are you going?"
Xiangzhu Palace?"
Yun Shang smiled lightly, "The prince asked me so many questions at once, where should I start to answer them?"
After saying that, he slightly bent his knees towards the Seventh Prince and Liu Yinfeng behind him and saluted, "Seventh Prince, Young Master Liu."
"It turns out to be my sister-in-law." The seventh prince chuckled, "Then Yinfeng and I will wait for the eldest brother outside the palace gate." After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Yun Shang and walked towards the palace gate.
Liu Yinfeng glanced at Yun Shang indifferently, paused, and then quickly followed the seventh prince.
"Why are you leaving the palace at this hour? Where are you going?" Yun Shang asked with a smile.
Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang's hand and said softly, "The draft will be held in one month. I will supervise this matter. I, the Seventh Prince and Liu Yinfeng will go to the Ministry of Rites to see what should be prepared.
Are you ready? The list should be presented to your father tomorrow."
Yun Shang nodded, "I'm going to sit in the Xiangzhu Hall. You go and do your work first. Don't keep them waiting."
Luo Qingyan nodded lightly, smiled and put her arms around Yun Shang's shoulders, then quickly let go, and she and Yun Shang staggered towards the palace entrance.
Yun Shang watched him walk to the entrance of the palace, then turned around and went to the Xiangzhu Palace. Ning Qian had never been in the habit of taking a nap. At this time, she was making tea in the palace. Looking at it, she seemed to be practicing making tea.
There are several tea bowls on the side, each filled with tea.
"You're here." When Ning Qian saw Yun Shang walking in, she quickly put down the teapot in her hand, stood up, and with a smile asked the palace servants to bring a chair for Yun Shang. After Yun Shang sat down, Ning Qian started to look carefully again.
After taking a closer look, Yun Shang smiled and said, "The way you are dressed today is quite unique. It seems to be the craftsmanship of Qian Shui Yi Ren Pavilion?"
Yun Shang laughed when he heard this, "You can tell at a glance what your people have made. I heard that your place has been very lively recently. Why are you the only one here?"
When Ning Qian heard this, she smiled with enlightenment, "I wonder why you dressed up so brightly and came to my place to kill time. It turns out you have a purpose. It's nap time now.
They are naturally taking a nap in their respective palaces, and I'm afraid they should be arriving one after another in half an hour."
Yun Shang nodded, then sat on the chair and watched Ning Qian make tea, "Why are you so interested in practicing making tea here?"
Ning smiled lightly, "His Majesty always said that everything is fine with me, but the tea I brewed lacked a bit of flavor. I heard that he likes capstone flower tea very much. He rewarded me with some some days ago, and I also
I had nothing to do, so I got some to try and see how it tastes better when cooked."
Yun Shang's hand paused for a moment, then reached out to pick up a cup of tea and tasted it.
"How's it going? Is it better than before?" Ning looked at Yun Shang with a slight smile, but there was a bit of expectation in his eyes.
"Hmm." Yun Shang put down the tea cup and said with a smile, "The tea is good, but when you made it for the first time, the fire was a little stronger."
Hearing this, Ning Qian took a cup and tasted it, and then said with a smile, "I can't tell the difference, but since you said it's fiery, I'm afraid that's it, I'll do it next time
Just be a little more careful.”
The two chatted for a while, and then indeed several concubines came with the palace people. They were a little surprised to see Yun Shang sitting in the palace, "It turns out that Princess Rui is also here."
Ning smiled lightly and asked someone to clean up the tea stove, "I had nothing to do today and wanted to learn how to make tea. I heard that Princess Rui was an expert at this, so I invited her over."
Yun Shang glanced at the concubines in the room indifferently. She had seen the portraits of them all before, so she was able to identify them one by one. They were all concubines below the rank of concubine, but there were some advantages.
"Princess Rui's makeup is so beautiful today, she is really amazing." The speaker was Cao Guiren. Cao Guiren's father was a sixth-rank official, so he received a lot of contempt in the palace, but he was more beautiful than ever.
, although he is not the type who is instantly stunning, he is somewhat unique and has a quiet temperament that does not cause trouble.
As soon as the words fell, someone else took over, "I look at it, the clothes and jewelry that Princess Rui is wearing today are really the finishing touch to the princess's beauty. I don't know, what is Princess Rui's outfit?"
Where did you buy it?"
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Ning Qian, smiled, and said calmly, "I bought it from a store that opened in the city not long ago. It seems to be called Qianshui Yiren Pavilion. I went there once before and fell in love with it, so I bought it."
Let them come up with any new tricks and send them directly to Prince Rui's Mansion." (To be continued)
