After lunch, the sunshine was a little better. Looking happy, Yun Shang took Qin Yi out and rode a carriage towards the Duke's Mansion. Less than a quarter of an hour after walking, the carriage suddenly stopped.
After getting down, Yun Shang frowned and heard a voice of inquiry coming from outside. The voice was slightly breathy, "Is this Princess Rui in the car?"
Yun Shang winked at Qin Yi, and Qin Yi opened the carriage curtain and stuck her head out and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yun Shang looked at the speaker from the curtain of the carriage and frowned. The person standing outside the carriage seemed to be Liu Yinfeng's servant.
The servant also saw Yun Shang and laughed: "Princess Qixun Rui, my master invites Princess Rui to have a cup of tea upstairs."
Yun Shang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said to Qin Yi, "Let's go."
Qin Yi didn't know who the master was in that person's words. She just looked at Yun Shang's expression and thought that she must be someone she knew. She nodded, opened the carriage door, got out of the carriage first, and then supported Yun Shang.
Shang walked down.
The servant took Yun Shang back for a while with a smile, and then arrived in front of the gate of Longfeng Tower. As he walked, the servant said with a smile: "Just now, the master was drinking tea. When he looked outside, he saw the princess's carriage.
He quickly asked the younger one to invite the princess to come up. The younger one chased the princess's carriage for a long way before catching up with him. Fortunately, it was in a busy city and the carriage couldn't run fast. Otherwise, it would have given the younger one an extra leg.
It’s also impossible to catch up.”
Yun Shang didn't respond, and the servant seemed to be talking to himself: "I don't know why the master's eyes are so sharp. Even sitting upstairs, he can spot the princess's carriage."
Yun Chang frowned slightly, and the servant didn't say anything anymore. He led Yun Chang up to the second floor, walked to the innermost part, and opened the door to the private room on the right.
As soon as the door opened, Yun Shang saw Liu Yinfeng sitting behind the table, looking at Yun Shang with a smile.
Qin Yi also saw Liu Yinfeng, her steps paused slightly, and she thought to herself, isn't this the military advisor of the Xia Kingdom? Why does he seem to be very familiar with the princess?
Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Yinfeng spoke: "Ayun, come in and sit down."
When Qinyi heard Liu Yinfeng's name, she almost tripped over the threshold of the elegant room. She quickly steadied herself, raised her head and glanced at Yun Shang, but saw her expression was indifferent, as if she had been used to it for a long time, and she felt again in her heart.
I couldn't help but speculate.
What is the relationship between this man and the princess?
Qin Yishang was silent in surprise, but Liu Yinfeng got up very naturally, poured a cup of tea for Yun Shang, and said with a smile: "You can't drink strong tea because you are pregnant. I asked the shopkeeper to make it right now."
Do you like the jujube tea if you try it?"
Yun Shang nodded, picked up the tea cup and blew on it, then took a brief sip and said, "It's pretty good."
When Liu Yinfeng heard this, the smile on his face became a little thicker, "As long as you like it." After saying that, he put down the teapot, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, then looked at Yun Shang and said, "Look in this direction.
, are you going to the Duke’s Mansion?”
Yun Shang nodded slightly and responded: "Yes."
Liu Yinfeng's eyes moved down a little, landing on Yun Shang's belly that had not yet swollen, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded a little, "It's okay, you seem to have rarely gone out since you were pregnant, so it's good to go out for a walk.
." He paused, as if he was afraid that he would be too attentive and make Yun Shang unhappy, so he quickly changed the topic: "I heard that you and the Seventh Princess are quite close?"
Yun Shang's hand holding the teacup gently tapped the side of the teacup. When Liu Yinfeng asked this question, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. It felt like he had been sending someone to keep an eye on her.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Shang took a deep breath and nodded: "Yutong originally came from the Duke's Mansion. She was a relative. Now she has become a sister-in-law. It is appropriate to get closer."
Seeing that Yun Shang seemed a little unhappy, Liu Yinfeng was silent for a long time and then said softly: "I just want to remind you that Xia Houjing is not a good person. You are so close to Hua Yutong. I'm worried that Xia Houjing will pass by."
Hua Yutong is not good for you. I have met Hua Yutong twice before in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. She has a simple temper and will not know if she is being taken advantage of. You should be more careful."
Yun Shang was very surprised to hear what Liu Yinfeng said, and then she raised her head and looked at Liu Yinfeng, with a bit of confusion in her voice: "Logically speaking, you are Liu Jin's adopted son, and the seventh prince is also
I want to call you uncle, and as far as I know, the Seventh Prince was trained by you, I think you should be more protective of him..."
When Liu Yinfeng heard what Yun Shang said, he lowered his head, with a bitter smile on his lips, "It's my fault. His mother-in-law hopes that he doesn't have to have great ambitions, but only needs a peaceful life.
But I couldn't refuse his request and taught him too many things that he shouldn't learn. It wasn't until one day that I realized that even I didn't understand him, and I realized that I had done something wrong."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, with a bit of curiosity in her eyes, "His mother-in-law, Concubine Liu?"
Liu Yinfeng nodded, but did not speak, but a look of pain flashed away in his eyes, so fast that even Yun Shang never saw it.
Yun Shang was aroused by Liu Yinfeng's interest. She thought about it for a while and then said with a smile: "There is one thing that I have always been very curious about. When I was in Ningguo, the seventh prince almost killed him with his own hands."
The prince died under the conspiracy of the Seventh Prince, who killed his own brother. However, His Majesty kept protecting the Seventh Prince. In fact, the Seventh Prince had already been captured by the Prince at that time, and His Majesty actually came to the door in person and begged the Prince to let him go.
Passing the Seventh Prince. I still don’t understand why this is happening?”
Liu Yinfeng's hands trembled slightly and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was deep in thought. After a while, he said, "Maybe it's because Your Majesty feels that he is ashamed of the Seventh Prince."
"Are you guilty?" Yun Shang laughed, "Speaking of guilt, shouldn't your Majesty feel a little more guilty towards Prince Rui?"
Liu Yinfeng shook his head, his eyes full of pain, "This matter should be considered taboo in the palace. It's better for you not to know too much. Knowing too much is not a good thing."
"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, smiled slightly, stopped asking, and said with a smile: "I see that the seventh prince's body seems not to be in good condition, but I do know some people with excellent medical skills.
If the Seventh Prince is willing, I won't guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease, but it should be much better than the sick and sick appearance he is now."
Hearing this, Liu Yinfeng didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he smiled and said to Yun Shang, "The tea is getting cold."
Yun Shang smiled. It was clear that he was the first to mention the Seventh Prince, but now he calmly changed the subject. On the contrary, it aroused her curiosity, but it didn't matter. Since this happened, there must be someone.
know.
Yun Shang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The sweet smell of dates spread between her lips and teeth. Yun Shang smiled lightly and stood up, "It's getting late, so I'll go to the Duke's Mansion first.
If it's later, I'm afraid it will be dark when I come back, so I'll say goodbye."
Liu Yinfeng nodded and asked the servant beside him to send Yun Shang downstairs. Liu Yinfeng slowly looked out the window, watching Yun Shang get on the carriage, and then looked away. The willow trees on the roadside outside had not yet sprouted.
The bare branches hang low.
Liu Yinfeng had a trace of sadness on his brow, and after a long while, he softly recited a poem: "In the past, I left, and the willows were Yiyi. Now I come to think about it, the rain and snow are falling. Liu Fei, Liu Feixue, Liu Yinfeng..."
On the carriage, Qin Yi had been looking at Yun Shang quietly, her gaze was so hot that Yun Shang couldn't help but turn her head, raised her eyebrows and asked: "Why are you looking at me like this? I
Does it have three eyes on its face?"
Qin Yi smiled and Fang turned her head, "Our little princess has grown up as expected. Now she is in the top tier of the country. Many young masters like her. Young Master Liu just now, I knew at a glance that he must like the princess.
Yes, no matter how you hide the affection in your eyes, you can't hide it. But now that the princess is married and pregnant, it's best to keep some distance from him, after all, people are scary."
"I know..." Yun Shang looked at Qin Yi with some humor, stretched out his hand to hold Qin Yi's arm and said: "I understand, but Mr. Liu saved my life before, and he ordered someone to come and invite me.
, it’s hard for me to refuse. But I will pay attention in the future, even if I meet him, I will choose a place with more people."
Qin Yi nodded lightly, "Princess has always known how to measure."
Yun Shang responded with a smile, but she still couldn't wipe away the curiosity in her heart. Why did Xia Huanyu dote on the Seventh Prince so much? According to what Liu Yinfeng said hesitantly just now, it probably has something to do with Concubine Liu. You can ask her later.
I asked the Duke's wife, the Duke's wife should also be aware of these secret histories of the palace, but for some reasons, she cannot mention them again.
After a while, they arrived at the Duke's Mansion. Qin Yi helped Yun Shang get out of the carriage. The doorman saw the carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion early, and hurriedly walked to the carriage and said with a smile: "The princess is here."
Yun Shang responded and asked with a smile: "What is grandma doing now?"
The doorman quickly said: "I am listening to the endorsements of some young masters in the back garden."
Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Those little ones were all human beings, and they were all good-natured, so they could bring a lot of laughter to the Duke's mansion.
The doorman led Yun Shang to the back garden, where he saw the Duke's wife lying on a lounge chair and lazily basking in the sun. With a smile on her face, she looked at the few children who were sitting upright on small stools.
Several children sat upright, and even the naughtiest Yan'er seemed to be holding a book, shaking his head and carrying it on his back.
"The enemy is known, but the friends are not yet determined. Lead your friends to kill the enemy without using your own strength. Use "Loss" to deduce." The sound of reading came, and Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh. The Duke's Mansion has indeed been a martial artist for generations.
, the child is still memorizing the Art of War book at such a young age.
"Aunt, aunt..." As soon as Yan'er, who was sitting upright just now, saw Yun Shang, he closed the audience's books, stood up, and waved to Yun Shang.
"Yan'er." The Duke's wife frowned, "Sit down."
Yan'er had no choice but to sit down obediently, pursed her lips and continued reading.
Seeing his appearance, Yun Shang found it funny. She walked to stand next to the Duke's wife with a smile, "Grandma..." (To be continued)
