Yun Shang nodded slightly, thought for a while and then said: "I am afraid that the method of dealing with the Seventh Prince that I discussed with my grandmother must be brought forward. I am not short of people. I made a special trip to train many girls before sending them to the palace.
I'm always worried that Yutong is simple-minded and will fall in love with the Seventh Prince."
The Duke's wife waved her hand, "There is no need to worry about this. Even if Yutong has no thoughts, she still understands that the Seventh Prince will not like her. Although she has a lively temper, she seems to be familiar with everyone.
He looks like a man who has self-control. But it’s better to do that in advance so as not to worry about it all the time.”
The two talked for a while, and then they saw a servant knocking on the door, "Princess, Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked your servant to invite the Princess to the flower hall."
Yun Shang stood up with a smile: "I'm afraid Grandpa and the others have already finished the round. Let's go to the flower hall to have dinner." Then he ordered Qin Yi to have the food served.
Hua Guogong and his wife left after eating. Yun Shang wanted to have a good talk with Xiao Yuanshan, but Luo Qingyan vetoed it, "It's been a long journey for Taifu, so I'd better let Taifu take a rest today."
Xiao Yuanshan also smiled and nodded: "I have to stay in Xia Kingdom for a while, so I don't have to worry about running out of time."
Although Yun Shang was unwilling in her heart, she had no choice but to agree. She took Xiao Yuanshan to the guest courtyard in person, and then followed Luo Qingyan back to the courtyard.
Yun Shang returned to the yard and lay down on the soft couch. She looked at Luo Qingyan who walked directly behind the desk and said with a smile: "Who won the sand table deduction just now?"
Luo Qingyan laughed when he heard this, "Of course I am your husband and I win."
"You're shameless, there's no point arguing with two old people to win or lose." Yun Shang scolded with a smile.
Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Madam, what you said is wrong. There are no fathers and sons on this battlefield. When two armies fight, they only care about winning or losing, no matter how close they are."
Yun Shang pondered for a moment before asking: "You already know about the affairs of Yelang Kingdom, right?"
"Huh?" Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang, smiled, and nodded, "Well, maybe even earlier than His Majesty knew, why did the Duke and Madam tell you?"
Yun Shang nodded, sighed softly and said: "You should be a little kinder to Duke Hua in the future. Grandpa has done a lot of things for us. He should have been old enough to take care of himself, but he had to
Lead troops to fight. You know Cangjue Qingsu best, he is a scheming and vicious man, I am a little worried."
Luo Qingyan casually took the book and opened it, lowered his head to look at the book, and then said: "Well, Duke Hua is not bad, and His Majesty has appointed Liu Yinfeng as his military advisor. Although I have always been fond of Liu Yinfeng.
I'm a little unhappy with him for coveting you, but I still have to admit that Liu Yinfeng was an old fox during the war. Hua Guogong was brave, Liu Yinfeng was clever, and the two of them worked together to deal with Cangjue Qingsu,
I think it’s more than enough.”
Liu Yinfeng? Yun Shang didn't know that Liu Yinfeng was also going to fight with Hua Guogong, but when Luo Qingyan said this, she felt relieved.
Luo Qingyan seemed to understand what Yun Shang was thinking, and raised his eyebrows. There was a bit of disdain in his words, and he raised the corners of his lips coldly and said: "Liu Yinfeng is talented, but it is a pity that the word "love"
It's really a bit unlikable. I heard that when he was still young, he fell in love with Concubine Liu, who was more than ten years older than him. At that time, Concubine Liu was already His Majesty's concubine. Later, after Concubine Liu died, he was still sad.
I've been together for many years, but I didn't expect that when I fell in love again, I would still fall in love with a married woman. I didn't want to expose his shortcomings, but who made him fall in love with my wife? "
There was a bit of anger in his words. Yun Shang stood up with a smile and walked to his side. She said with a smile: "There were many women who admired the prince before, and all of them acted as if they couldn't see me, the real princess. I am Shouldn’t we be more angry?”
Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I see that you are coping well."
Yun Shang snorted and lay down on the soft couch to take a nap, and soon fell asleep.
After dinner in the evening, Xiao Yuanshan returned to the courtyard. Luo Qingyan smiled and said to Yun Shang: "Do you want to go out and watch the lanterns? I heard that there is a fire dragon dance, and there are also lantern riddles. There are many good lantern riddles. Prizes, go and see if there is one you like?"
Yun Shang saw that Luo Qingyan was in a rare good mood, so she smiled and agreed. However, it was rare for them to go out to play like this.
Qin Yi put a cloak on Yun Shang, and Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang out. When they arrived at the door, the carriage was ready. Luo Qingyan turned around to help Yun Shang get into the carriage, but Yun Shang shook her head and smiled. He said: "Since it's the Lantern Festival, there will definitely be a lot of people. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the carriage to move by then. It's better that we just walk there and treat it as a walk."
Luo Qingyan frowned, his eyes fell on Yun Shang's belly, and he hesitated: "I heard that the Lantern Festival has always been the most crowded festival. There are so many people coming and going. I'm worried that someone will hurt you."
Yun Shang laughed when she heard this, "I'm not worried about this at all. As long as you stand there, I'm afraid there won't be anyone within a mile, and people are worried about being frozen by you."
Luo Qingyan was a little bit dumbfounded when she heard this. She was so worried, but she still had the intention to make fun of herself.
"Okay then, I won't take the carriage." After saying that, she turned around and whispered a few instructions to the attendants beside her. Yun Shang knew that he was probably arranging more secret guards to protect her, so she just Watching with a smile.
Yun Shang thought for a while and then said to Qin Yi behind him: "Qin Yi, please stay in the house. Grandpa is familiar with you. If there is anything needed, you can arrange it. I have the prince with me, so nothing will happen to me." Son's."
Qin Yi responded and turned around to go back to the house. Luo Qingyan had already given the instructions, and the two of them held hands and went out together.
Jincheng at night is really two different places than what we see during the day. All kinds of lanterns on both sides of the street have been lit up, making the street as bright as day, and because of the colorful lanterns. , a bit more dreamy.
Not long after walking, we arrived at the main road. There are four main roads in Jincheng, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and White Tiger, which are crisscrossed in a tic-tac-shape. At this moment, the main road can really be described as a sea of people, occupied by vendors. On both sides of the avenue, there are sellers of lanterns, jewelry, candy makers, and pottery makers.
The center was crowded with people of all kinds, men, women, old and young, all with smiles on their faces. Various sounds could be heard, including the sounds of sellers, voices, and the cries of children.
Yun Shang watched with interest, but Luo Qingyan frowned, put his arms around Yun Shang's shoulders, and protected Yun Shang in his arms. He whispered in Yun Shang's ear, "If I had known there were so many people, I wouldn't have brought him with me. You're out."
Yun Shang said with a smile, "I think it's pretty good. Your Majesty has managed the Xia Kingdom very well. I see that at least most people have smiles on their faces."
Luo Qingyan curled his lips, "There are many poor people, but they don't appear on the street. I don't know where to cry."
Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan, and Luo Qingyan stopped talking.
"Master, buy a hairpin for Madam." A voice came from the side, "Madam is beautiful, and this hairpin will look even better on her."
Luo Qingyan had a cold face and did not respond. Yun Shang smiled and said, "Master, why don't you buy one for your wife?"
"No, what my wife is wearing now is quite beautiful." Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang and walked quickly forward for two steps before saying: "Don't buy these things on this street, just take a look, it's not safe."
After walking for a while, we arrived at a lake in the city. The lake was called Bishan Lake. There were lanterns hanging on both sides of the lake. A ring was set up by the lake. The name of the ring was Qi Lian. A middle-aged man stood on the ring and kept repeating
Follow the rules.
"There are several small boats parked by the lake. From the lake to the center of the lake, lanterns are hung. There are lantern riddles on the lanterns. Whoever reaches the center of the lake first, takes back the lotus lanterns, and answers the most riddles correctly will be the first.
.The prize for first place is a snow lotus that blooms on the top of a snow mountain, and a South Sea pearl."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he pointed to the box placed on the table. The box was open and facing everyone. Yun Shang's eyes fell on the things in the box. They looked like treasures, but as long as
It's hard to tell without holding it in your hands.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. These two things were rare treasures. However, as the saying goes, there is no business without treachery. It is impossible for this businessman to take out such things as prizes for no reason. There must be a purpose.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man changed the topic and said, "However, you must remember that the lantern riddles and the lotus lantern are indispensable. If you can't answer any of the lantern riddles correctly, then taking the lotus lantern will be in vain. Moreover, everyone knows that this day
There is no such good thing. If you want to participate, you have to pay ten taels of silver. No matter what the result is, the money is non-refundable. It is worth it to win these two treasures with ten taels of silver!"
The people below all looked ready to make a move. Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang, "You want these two things too?"
Yun Shang slightly raised her lips, "This person is an obvious charlatan. He just emphasized the conditions of the lantern riddles. It should be extremely difficult to get the lantern riddles. Each person is ten taels of silver. If there are more people participating, it will be too
It’s not a small income. But if these two are real, they are rare treasures. The snow lotus on the top of the snow mountain is the best medicinal material, and the South Sea pearl is also a rare beauty product. If you can get it, it is the best."
Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, even if it's fake, it's only ten taels of silver. If Madam wants it, she will do her best." After saying that, he took a piece of silver from the purse at his waist.
, and threw it into the tray that the middle-aged man just picked up.
"Okay, this young man is the first to sign up." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Yun Shang turned her head, her eyes full of smiles, "It's rare that you still remember to bring money when you go out." (To be continued)
