Chapter three hundred and seventy seventh handsome monk
The seventh prince's wedding was scheduled for December 23rd, and the invitations were sent early. As soon as he returned to the palace, the butler handed over the invitations. Yun Shang was reading the invitations, and Luo Qingyan came over.
"The main concubine and the side concubines came in together. Lao Qi is deliberately provoking a conflict between the Liu family and the Hua family. Liu Yiyi, who had a lot of choices in the Liu family, only got a side concubine. She must be dissatisfied. November 23
, the princess must be greeted by Lao Qi himself and enter through the main entrance. And Liu Yiyi can’t even wear a red wedding dress, so she has to enter the palace through the small entrance..."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "I have never met Liu Yiyi, but Hua Yutong seems to have a straightforward personality."
Luo Qingyan walked to the soft couch and lay down, "In the backyard of the palace, people with a straightforward temper are the most unsuitable. And I don't think that a cunning person like Hua Guogong would send someone with no scheming.
Enter the harem."
Yun Shang chuckled softly, "How could you talk about your grandfather like that?" However, he did not refute Luo Qingyan's words. In the harem, people who are too straight-tempered will definitely not be able to survive. Yun Shang knows
, Duke Hua must also be aware of it.
"I'm afraid Duke Hua will know that Hua Yutong cannot enter the harem." Luo Qingyan said calmly.
"Huh? Why is this?" Yun Shang was a little confused after hearing this. If Duke Hua knew that Hua Yutong could not enter the palace, why would he do everything possible to send her as a show girl.
Luo Qingyan smiled, took Yun Shang's hand, and asked her to sit down on the edge of the collapse, and then said softly, "This time, the goals of the three major families are too clear. The Liu family supports the seventh prince, and the Hua Kingdom
Gong is nominally my grandfather, and Su Qi is the empress's father. All the ministers in the court are watching, if your majesty accepts someone into the palace, it will send a message to the court about who he wants to make the crown prince."
Yun Shang couldn't help but be a little stunned, "Are they thinking too much? Even if His Majesty accepts someone into the palace, he might not mean it that way?"
Luo Qingyan curled up his lips coldly, "Even if Your Majesty doesn't mean that, those ministers will still think so. The prince has passed away, and now the position of the crown prince is vacant. It is the most sensitive period. In addition,
I was suddenly inserted, and all the ministers in the court stared with wide eyes, wondering who His Majesty wanted to make the crown prince. Naturally, if there was a slight disturbance, someone would pay attention."
Hearing this, Yun Shang sighed softly. No matter in her previous life or in this life, although she was familiar with the battles in the harem, she still had never experienced the battle for the throne in the court. Only when she was actually in it this time did she know how thrilling it was.
.
"But although His Majesty did not include Hua Yutong in the harem, he established Lin Youran as a talented person?" Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then said with some doubts.
Luo Qingyan smiled, "From the beginning to the end, only Your Majesty and the Queen knew that Lin Youran had some relationship with you. The Queen didn't know that Your Majesty knew that Lin Youran was yours, so she tried every means to get rid of Lin Youran. Your Majesty wanted to take advantage of it
Lin Youran competed with the Queen, making it impossible for the Queen to cover the sky with one hand even in the harem."
Yun Shang sighed softly and murmured in a low voice, "But they... are husband and wife."
Luo Qingyan failed to hear Yun Shang's words clearly, and looked at Yun Shang with a bit of questioning in her eyes. Yun Shang shook her head and said, "I sent a letter to Ning Qian earlier, asking her to complain that she is ill recently, so don't be too nervous."
Get close to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has doubts about the eldest princess, I'm afraid Ning Qian will be in danger."
Luo Qingyan nodded, pulled Yun Shang to lie on him, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't keep talking about other people's affairs in the house. Take a break with me."
Hearing this, Yun Shang glanced at him, but she lay down obediently and said with a smile, "The prince has been confined at home for a while, and he has gotten used to his laziness. He has to go to court tomorrow, right?"
, it’s time to go to court, but there will be no nap to take.”
Luo Qingyan hugged Yun Shang, "I won't think about tomorrow's things today." After saying that, he closed his eyes and yawned.
Yun Shang also fell asleep.
It was already evening when the two of them woke up. Luo Qingyan saw Yun Shang open her eyes, so she stood up and called Qianliu Qianzhui to come in and wait for Yun Shang to stand up. She turned back to Yun Shang and said, "Previously
Your Majesty said that the imperial edict to lift the ban was requested by the eldest princess anyway. Tomorrow you can arrange to prepare some gifts and we can go to the eldest princess’s mansion together.”
Yun Shang was still confused and could only nod her head when she heard the words.
When Qianliu and Qianzui saw this, they both couldn't help but smile. They took the outer robes and put them on Yun Shang. They also arranged Yun Shang's hair, which was a little messy from sleeping.
After dinner, Luo Qingyan went to the study. The housekeeper brought the account books to Yun Shang, bowed his body and said, "I have discovered in the past few days that the account books in the mansion are often peeked by people, so the prince and
Some of the shops owned by the princess outside the palace and the newly built Zhuangzi are not recorded here. Here, there are only things brought from Ning Guo and some things given by the masters in the palace."
Yun Shang nodded, took it and flipped through it, then said, "Let me sort out the things in this by categories. There will be a lot of things to sort out in the future, and you can let me get some money from it."
, go to the city to look for some shops in an open and honest manner. The shops will choose some embroidery, rouge, gouache, rice, flour, grain and oil, etc. that are used by ordinary people. Then look at some Zhuangzi outside the city. Zhuangzi will help the housekeeper to go and have a look in person. Choose
There are three or two that are close to mountains and rivers and the land is more fertile, so it doesn’t matter if they are more expensive.”
The housekeeper responded, and Yun Shang handed the account book back to him, "As for you saying that someone has read the account book, there is no need to check who has read it, just read it."
"But if I don't care about this, I'm afraid something will happen in the future." The housekeeper said hesitantly.
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. After Qianyin and Luo Yi get married, I'll leave the ledgers here to them. I'm lazy too, just look.
It’s a general ledger, so you don’t have to send it too frequently. Just send half of it once.”
The housekeeper responded, "Luo Yi is an outstanding secret guard. I think no one can tamper with him."
Yun Shang nodded lightly, "By the way, prepare some gifts. The prince and I have to go to the eldest princess's mansion. The eldest princess obviously likes to worship Buddha. Take a look and see what is suitable."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment and then said, "Has the princess heard about the banquet being held at the eldest princess's mansion?"
When Yun Shang heard this, her expression paused slightly, "What kind of banquet?"
"Oh." The butler quickly took out an invitation from his sleeve, "The invitation was sent from the eldest princess's mansion earlier. It was said that the eldest princess was hosting a banquet in the mansion the day after her eldest daughter's eldest daughter. She invited the prince and princess to attend the banquet."
"Oh?" Yun Shang frowned, took the invitation and opened it. The invitation said it was a small banquet, but she and Luo Qingyan were invited. If it was just a small banquet for the woman in the back house, there was no need to invite Luo Qingyan.
But if it is a small banquet between relatives, this invitation seems too formal, and there must not be too few people.
But if she had a banquet the day after tomorrow, would she and Luo Qingyan still have to go there tomorrow?
Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, go ahead and prepare a gift."
The butler responded and retreated.
When it was time to rest in the evening, Luo Qingyan came back from the study, and Yun Shang talked to him about the matter. Luo Qingyan was silent for a while and then said, "I'll go back tomorrow. We went to visit to thank her for interceding."
She held a small banquet for her kindness. We went to the banquet just as guests."
Yun Shang responded, "Okay, I'll ask the butler to prepare another gift tomorrow."
When Yun Shang woke up the next day, Luo Qingyan had already gone to court. Yun Shang was dressed neatly and asked the housekeeper to prepare things, waiting for Luo Qingyan to return home.
The weather was already very cold. Yun Shang couldn't help but shiver when she opened the window while having a drink. Although it didn't snow in Jincheng, it was much more humid than Ningguo. When the weather got cold, she felt that the cold air was heading towards
To remove the bones, braziers must be placed on all sides of the house, otherwise the areas not exposed to the fire will feel cold.
"There was frost last night, and I felt very cold as soon as I went out. It's much colder than the past few days. Princess, please put on that big cloak later." Qianliu walked in from outside,
As soon as he entered the house, he quickly ran to the cage to find a silver-purple cloak trimmed with fox fur, took it out, and placed it on a stool by the fire to dry.
Yun Shang nodded and ordered, "Take out the prince's cloak as well."
Qianliu responded and went to look for it again.
It was already afternoon when Luo Qingyan returned home. Yun Shang saw that even his hair was wet, so he quickly asked him to go to the clean room to take off his official uniform, change into regular clothes, and then asked the maid to send him to the bathroom.
A bowl of steaming hot soup came. "It's cold outside. After the prince drank the hot soup to drive away the cold, we went out."
"My body and bones are not so delicate." Luo said lightly, but he drank the soup obediently.
The maid put a big cloak on the two of them, and Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang rode out in a carriage. The eldest princess's mansion was in the south of the city, and the mansion was not small. Yun Shang ordered the maid to knock on the door and send a greeting card. The door opened.
, the doorman stuck his head out to look at Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan, then hurriedly walked out, bowed down respectfully and took the invitation, unfolded it and looked at it, and then said hurriedly, "Prince Rui,
Princess Rui, please wait for a moment, and I will go and report."
Luo Qingyan nodded, stretched out his hand and shook Yun Shang's hand and said, "Why are your hands so cold? Go back and ask Qianliu and Qianzui to prepare a soup for you, fill it with hot water and put a condom made of fox fur on it.
Take it with you wherever you go."
Yun Shang smiled and glanced at Luo Qingyan, "How can you be so delicate? Ningguo is much colder than here."
As he was talking, the door opened again, and a young man walked out of the door, "Prince Rui, Princess Rui, please come in."
Yun Shang was stunned, because the young man was a little too handsome, with a shaved head and the appearance of a monk, which was a bit confusing. This man was... (To be continued)
