Returning to the Tai Chi Hall, a pipa song was being played in the hall. Yun Shang quietly walked back to her seat. As soon as she sat down, she saw a palace maid walking in from outside the hall and standing behind the queen.
The sound of pipa played endlessly, and Yun Shang's eyes fell on the woman playing the pipa. From the corner of her eye, she saw the palace maid leaning down and whispering something to the queen. Yun Shang slowly raised a smile, thinking in her heart, sometimes, being suspicious is not the right thing.
That's a good thing.
The sound of the pipa gradually became lower and softer, and the palace gradually became brighter. Luo Qingyan turned her eyes and saw the smile on the corner of Yun Shang's mouth, and said softly, "Looking at you, you seem to be in a good mood? This pipa song is like this
Sounds good?"
Yun Shang nodded lightly, "It's not bad." After saying that, he smiled and said, "Today, I always feel that this bun is too heavy and a little uncomfortable. My lord, how about I go back to the palace first?"
Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment and then said, "This palace banquet is also very boring. Let me go back to the house with you. You sit here for a while. When the next program starts, I will go and report to Your Majesty before leaving.
.”
Yun Shang nodded, and when she heard the queen say her name, she saw the lights dim again, this time it was the sword dance.
Luo Qingyan stood up, walked to Xia Huanyu and said something. Xia Huanyu raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang. He looked a little unhappy, but he nodded.
Yun Shang knew that Xia Huanyu must have agreed. When she saw Luo Qingyan coming down, she stood up and left the Tai Chi Hall with Luo Qingyan.
The two of them walked down the long stairs outside the Taiji Palace together, exited the palace gate, and got on the carriage. Luo Qingyan said, "After I saw you go out, the queen seemed to have sent a maid to follow you?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Yes, the Queen has always been suspicious of me. Just now Huicai was found to be pregnant, so I left the Tai Chi Hall, fearing that she might suspect that I was going to do something.
That’s why I ordered the palace servants to follow me.”
Luo Qingyan nodded gently, "The Queen..."
He was halfway through speaking, but did not continue. Yun Shang saw him frowning slightly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, so she did not ask what he wanted to say next, but only withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to look at her hand.
"The queen of the Xia Kingdom is actually very similar to the previous Queen Yuanzhen of the Ning Kingdom. They don't have the emperor's favor. They only have the support of the family behind them. However, they are also different. The Su family in the Xia Kingdom
The foundation is deeper, and Su Ruji is more ruthless." Yun Shang said calmly, her hand slowly caressing her belly, but her eyes gradually became colder, but so what, she could get rid of Yuan Zhen.
Queen, you can still get rid of Queen Su.
After returning to the palace, Yun Shang asked Qin Yi and Qian Zhui to remove her court clothes and bun. After changing into regular clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Even though I have always been proud of my endurance, I am still a little lucky.
Fortunately, there are not too many formal banquets like this in the palace."
Qinyi smiled lightly when she heard this, "The princess has already made up her mind. This is probably the first time for the seventh princess to dress up so grandly to attend such an occasion. Just now, the servant looked at her as if she was working very hard.
His brows were furrowed all the time, and from time to time he had to raise his hand to help his bun."
"Yutong..." Yun Shang frowned and was silent for a long time before saying, "I see that the people around her are not very capable. I'm afraid that life in the Seventh Prince's Mansion will also be very difficult.
When I go to the Duke's Mansion in the next two days, I will talk to the Duke's wife and ask her to send two capable people to help Yutong."
Qin Yi shook her head, "I think the princess does not need to mention this matter to the Duke's wife. The seventh princess is the niece of Duke Hua, and she was recommended by the Duke's Palace to participate in the draft. If possible, the Duke's Palace will definitely
They would have made arrangements in advance, but the Duke's Office did not do this, and they must have their own considerations."
"That's true." Yun Shang nodded softly and said, "The Seventh Prince may seem as gentle as jade, but in reality he is ruthless and suspicious by nature..."
As soon as he said this, Luo Qingyan walked out of the clean room. Seeing that he was only wearing an undershirt, Yun Shang frowned and said, "Although there is a charcoal pot burned in the room, it is not very clean."
It’s warm, you’d better wear more clothes.”
Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "I see that you are a little tired. I won't deal with things today. You should take a rest earlier."
Yun Shang nodded, went to the clean room to wash up, and rested early.
Early the next morning, Qin Yi knocked on the door. Yun Shang was still a little dazed when she heard Luo Qingyan saying next to her, "What's wrong? But what happened?"
Qin Yi outside the door seemed to smile, "Prince and concubine, you can't sleep in late today. The housekeeper is still waiting for the prince and concubine to let off the firecrackers, and there will be many people coming to the house today to pay New Year's greetings."
Yun Shang choked, turned around and ignored it. Luo Qingyan responded, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. After getting dressed neatly, he walked to the bed and bent down and whispered in Yun Shang's ear, "
Shang'er, it's time to get up."
Yun Shang slowly opened her eyes, but closed them quickly, turned over again, and muttered, "It's still early."
When Luo Qingyan saw her like this, he couldn't help but laugh. He leaned down and hugged her, smiling and saying, "It's getting late."
Yun Shang finally regained her composure, opened her eyes again, and yawned, "Your Majesty, Happy New Year."
Luo Qingyan smiled and responded, "Happy New Year. Get up soon. I'll ask Qin Yi to come in and dress you?"
Yun Shang sighed, sat up, nodded, and yawned several times, still looking confused.
The door was opened, and Qinyi walked in with hot water. She first walked into the clean room and put the hot water down, then walked to the bed and looked at Yun Shang, who was still a little confused, with a smile and said: "Princess, what are you doing today?"
I have to dress a little more festive. Fortunately, the slave girl specially ordered someone to prepare some new clothes for the prince and princess a few days ago. Let me wear new clothes today. When the slave girl heard that, a lot of people have gathered outside the house.
People are coming to pay New Year greetings to the prince and princess, so we have to hurry up a little bit."
"Wish us a happy New Year?" Yun Shang was stunned and silent for a moment, then smiled coldly and said, "His Majesty's unclear words yesterday may have made many people think again. In the past few days,
I’m afraid the threshold of the mansion is about to be breached.”
"No." Qin Yi responded softly, but then turned the conversation to another matter, "By the way, the princess will probably have to go to the palace later to wish all the masters in the palace a happy new year.
However, as a princess, only those with the title of concubine or above should be able to accept the courtesy of the master."
"The only person above the rank of concubine is the queen." Yun Shang sighed softly, "She is the one I don't want to see the most, but she is the only one I have to see."
"Yes, it's okay for the princess to say this in the palace. She can't show any displeasure outside. However, the princess has always been measured and doesn't need to be nagged by her slaves." Qin Yi said with a smile.
Luo Qingyan walked out of the clean room, and Yun Shang went in to wash up. Then she put on a crimson dress trimmed with silver, and did a fairy bun and a golden magpie's beaded steps.
Shake and wear a hibiscus flower.
Luo Qingyan stood aside and watched, and said with a smile, "Before, I always saw Wang Jinhuan wearing red, but Chang'er is the most beautiful in this red. This outfit reminds me of the day we got married, when you were wearing
Wearing a bright red wedding dress almost made me lose my mind."
Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan, feeling a little annoyed. How could Luo Qingyan be like this? Qin Yi was still there. Yun Shang quietly glanced at Qin Yi's expression in the bronze mirror, but saw a hint of anger at the corner of her mouth.
There was a slight smile, but it was not as good as Qianyin's and the others, and there was still a bit of teasing in their eyes.
"The princess will look better if she applies some rouge, but the princess is pregnant, so rouge and other things are not suitable to be used, so let's leave it like this..." Qin Yi said with a smile, "The prince and princess should go to the door of the palace to light the door and open the door.
It’s a firecracker.”
Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang walked to the gate together. When the housekeeper saw the two people coming, he quickly handed them three sticks of incense and said with a smile, "The prince and the princess only need to go out and put the two strings hanging at the door of the house."
Light the firecrackers, and after the firecrackers have gone off, just put the incense into the incense burner on the side."
Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang took the incense and opened the door of the mansion. They saw that many people had gathered outside the door, but almost all of them were civilians in the city. Yun Shang smiled, and Luo Qingyan was alone.
On the other hand, he lit the firecrackers, and then Luo Qingyan quickly pulled Yun Shang back two steps and reached out to cover Yun Shang's ears, but Yun Shang still heard the "cracking" sound of firecrackers.
The sound of firecrackers lasted for a long time before it stopped. Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang put the incense into the incense burner nearby.
"Prince Rui, Princess Rui, Happy New Year." "Happy New Year, may you have peace every year." Various New Year greetings rang out, and Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang kept returning the greetings. Aunt Qiu brought a
The plate came with a lot of red envelopes on it. Luo Qingyan was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to rush into Yun Shang, so he asked Yun Shang to stand at the door and took the red envelopes and gave them to the people at the door one by one.
Yun Shang looked at the smiles on the people's faces and raised the corners of her mouth. Her eyes fell on the red paper after the firecrackers were set off. She thought to herself that this was her first New Year in Xia Kingdom.
A new year has come. A faint fighting spirit rose in her heart. This year, I am afraid, will not be peaceful. But now, with Luo Qingyan and the children in their family accompanying her, she has no fear at all.
meaning.
In the past year, she has also experienced a lot of things, some sad, some thrilling, some happy, some tender. Every step of the way was frightening and she felt like walking on thin ice, but she was also happy. In the new year, she only wishes that
