"Oh?" Xia Huanyu heard this and did not respond. He only raised his head and glanced at the queen, then turned his attention to Yun Shang, "This game of chess is not over yet. Princess Rui, please sit down and continue playing."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, but she never thought that Xia Huanyu would refute the queen's face so obviously. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly sat down, quickly picked up a white piece, and lost it.
The queen's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her energy. With a smile on her face, she said softly: "Isn't my concubine's younger brother Su Ruhai serving as a third-rank general in the court? And during this period
Ri was just training new recruits in the military aircraft camp outside the city. I thought, he had fought many battles in Yan'er's army before, and Yan'er had also appreciated his uncle very much before. This
For once, it would be better to let him lead the troops."
Xia Huanyu glanced at the queen's face indifferently, then turned his head again, "The queen doesn't need to worry about this matter, I already have a candidate."
The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth quickly faded a bit, and she squeezed the hand holding the brocade handkerchief a little harder, "Have you got a candidate? Are there any generals in this court who can lead troops into battle?"
"I have my own thoughts." Xia Huanyu's voice became colder, he paused, and sneered, "The queen has been in charge of the harem these years, and she has managed the harem in an orderly manner, but why does the queen herself have to knowingly commit the crime? What about the concubines in the harem?
, Do not interfere in government affairs, this is an iron law left by our ancestors..."
The queen's face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes showed a bit of panic as she said, "I know that I have sinned, and your Majesty will forgive me."
Xia Huanyu made a move, and the sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard was particularly clear in the empty palace. "I see that you are the first offender, so I will bypass you this time. If there is another time, don't blame me."
I never reminded you."
The queen's lips were bitten and turned a little white, but she looked at Yun Shang coldly. Yun Shang smiled bitterly. Xia Huanyu didn't shy away from the fact that she was still there, so he embarrassed the queen in front of her, fearing that the queen would
This debt will be put on her head, and her life in the future will probably not be easy.
"Is there anything else the queen has to do?" Xia Huanyu spoke lukewarmly.
The queen's face stiffened, then she lowered her head and responded softly: "No more, I will take my leave first."
Xia Huanyu responded in a low voice, and the queen bowed again, but her eyes fell on Yun Shang again, "Princess Rui has not been in the palace for some days, so why not come to Weiyang Palace for lunch later?"
Go back home."
Yun Shang secretly screamed something bad, but she had no choice but to respond meekly: "Yes, I will obey Yi's decree."
The queen then slowly withdrew.
Yun Shang was thinking about how to deal with it later, but her mind was not on the chessboard. She made a few wrong moves in a row, and then Xia Huanyu raised his head and looked at Yun Shang, "Are you a little distracted? Why?"
"
Asking her why, Yun Shang gave a bitter smile and pondered for a moment before saying: "I suddenly thought that if I go to Weiyang Palace for lunch later, the prince will have no one to give him medicine and food..."
"There are no servants in your house?" Xia Huanyu frowned.
Yun Shang quickly lowered her head and responded: "There are some servants, but the prince recognizes some people. Even if he is poisoned and unconscious now, he will not eat unless I feed him personally."
Xia Huanyu lost a son and was noncommittal. After a while, he said: "After this round, you can leave the palace. Let me go to Weiyang Palace to have a look."
Hearing this, Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him with a smile.
At the end of the game, Yun Shang lost one and a half pieces.
Xia Huanyu stood up and said calmly: "Stay back."
Yun Shang quickly saluted, exited the Tai Chi Hall, walked around the Tai Chi Hall with Qin Yi, who had been waiting outside the hall, and walked down the long stairs at the entrance of the main hall.
"You saw the Queen coming just now, are you trying to embarrass the Princess?" Qin Yi looked around and asked softly.
Yun Shang shook her head and said with a smile: "With His Majesty here, she will not embarrass me in front of His Majesty, but just now she wanted me to go to Weiyang Palace after leaving Tai Chi Hall, so she just
I'm afraid they wanted to teach me a lesson. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and begged Your Majesty, so I escaped."
Yun Shang paused, looked at the carriage slowly coming in from the entrance of the palace in the distance, and said with a smile: "I hope the queen will not be too vindictive." After speaking, she added, "It's not that carriages are not allowed in the palace.
Palace? Which family’s carriage is that?”
Qin Yi looked at it carefully for a moment and then said, "It should be from the Su family."
The carriage stopped at the stairs in front of the Taiji Hall. A servant jumped out of the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage and helped someone out of the carriage. Yun Shang took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Su Qi.
Yun Shang's eyes fell on Su Qi who was walking up, with a smile on her lips, "There are always some people who think that they can do whatever they want just because their daughter has a noble status in the harem. But.
Forget that since ancient times, the more self-respecting and domineering a relative is, the worse his fate will be."
After saying that, Su Qi was about twenty steps away from Yun Shang. Yun Shang walked up to him with a smile, saluted him and said, "I've met Captain Su."
Su Qi raised her eyes and glanced at Yun Shang, then nodded casually, "It turns out to be Princess Rui! I heard that Prince Rui was poisoned and he hasn't woken up yet. Princess Rui still has the leisure to walk around in the palace. She must be poisoned by Prince Rui."
It’s nothing important.”
Yun Shang was still listening with a smile, and said softly: "I hope that I can take care of Prince Rui in the palace, but I dare not resist and be disrespectful when His Majesty summons me. By the way, when I paid homage to Your Majesty just now, the Queen Mother
I personally came to seek an audience with His Majesty, and recommended Taiwei Su’s son, with the intention of letting him lead the army on the expedition. The Su family is really full of talents, and I admire it."
The corners of Su Qi's lips curled up, and she smiled contentedly, "Thank you, Princess Rui, for your compliment."
Yun Shang lowered her head slightly, hiding the disdain in her eyes, "The Taiwei came into the palace in a hurry. I'm afraid she has something important to see Your Majesty, so I won't delay the Taiwei. Taiwei, please..."
Su Qi smiled, turned around and hurried to Tai Chi Hall.
Yun Shang stood there for a while, then smiled lightly, slowly walked down the stone steps and walked towards the palace gate.
After getting on the carriage, the carriage slowly walked towards the palace. Perhaps after seeing the queen's frustration and Su Qi's arrogance, Yun Shang was in a very good mood. She asked Qin Yi to open the wooden carriage.
Curtain on the window, looking out.
The streets were crowded with people and very lively.
Yun Shang raised the corner of her mouth and looked at it carefully. After a while, she suddenly ordered the carriage to stop.
Qin Yi didn't know why, so she quickly looked over and asked: "Princess, what's wrong? But what happened?"
Yun Shang smiled and shook his head, stretched out his hand and pointed outside. Qin Yi followed Yun Shang's gaze and looked over, with some doubts in her eyes, "Wangji Winery?"
Yun Shang laughed, "Look what's next to it?"
Hearing this, Qin Yi looked aside again, "Xiao Ji Winery?"
Yun Shang nodded gently, and the smile in her eyes grew stronger, "Qianyin did not disappoint me, but in just a few days, she followed my instructions and drove Xiao Ji next to Wang Ji."
Qin Yi understood what Yun Shang said, and there was some interest in her eyes. She looked at it carefully for a moment, and then frowned again, "It's just that if you follow the princess's instructions, everything Xiao Ji will compare to
Wang Ji is so much cheaper, so the business is supposed to be much better than Wang Ji, so why do you think, I see, there are still more people buying wine at Wang Ji?"
Yun Shang also took a closer look and nodded, "That's true. Let Qianyin go back home later and I'll ask her what the reason is."
Yun Shang made a note of it and ordered the carriage to move forward. He paid attention to Wang Ji's shop along the way, but he found that Qian Yin's movements were indeed very fast. He could almost see Wang Ji's shop next to him on the street.
Or maybe Xiao Kee's shop has opened across the street, selling the same things, but the business is not as good as Xiao Kee's.
Yun Shang frowned, and as soon as she returned to the palace, she quickly ordered people out of the palace to invite Qian Yin.
Returning to the yard, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Luo Qingyan sitting in the house, holding a book in his hand, but he looked outside the door from time to time. When he saw Yun Shang coming in, his brows widened.
"Did he make things difficult for you?" Luo Qingyan quickly stood up, walked to Yun Shang's side, and asked softly.
Yun Shang quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "Not really, I just asked about your situation. He also said that he learned from the Seventh Prince that I was suspected of going to Yelang Kingdom for this matter, and asked me, now in the court
The generals and advisers originally planned to be sent to the border have all encountered trouble. Who should be sent to lead the army?"
Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Yun Shang, "How did you answer?"
Yun Shang smiled lightly, "Didn't the prince say that the seventh prince might intend to lead the army, and then cooperate with the Yelang Kingdom internally and externally, take advantage of this achievement, and use this to stand out and change his previous image of being weak? So?
, I recommended the Seventh Prince to Your Majesty..."
Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Lao Qi? Since you recommended him, have you thought of how to deal with him?"
Yun Shang walked to the soft couch and sat down, shaking her head, "I didn't think that much, I just felt that even if I didn't say so, the Seventh Prince would probably do it, and maybe he would have asked Xia Huanyu to lead the army.
If he leaves Jincheng, I just think it will be an opportunity for us."
Luo Qingyan heard this, sighed softly, and knocked Yun Shang's head, "You, you..."
After a pause, he laughed again, "It is indeed an opportunity. If we can catch the evidence that Lao Qi and Cang Jue Qingsu are colluding and working together, Lao Qi will be in trouble."
Yun Shang smiled and looked at Luo Qingyan, "I knew the prince had a way to deal with it."
Luo Qingyan sat down next to Yun Shang, put her arms around Yun Shang's waist, and was about to speak when she heard the maid's report coming from outside, "Princess Qi, Miss Qianyin wants to see you." (To be continued)
