Yun Shang saw the queen's hand on the palace man's arm tightening slightly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. Concubine Shen Shu was really restless. Even in this situation, she did not forget to provoke the queen.
I have a grudge against her.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at the indifferent Concubine Shen Shu, and said with a slight smile: "These days have been hard for Concubine Shu. The past few days were the Longevity Festival, and this year, Concubine Xiang and Hui Zhaoyi are both pregnant.
Because of the Dragon Si, the Empress can only manage it by herself this year, and she doesn’t even have anyone to help her, so the time to send some rewards to Concubine Shu and Madam Xian was delayed."
As soon as Yun Shang said these words, the Queen immediately understood her intention, with a bit of a smile on her face: "Yes, this year is the third time for happiness. Your Majesty has decreed to have a happy and prosperous life, but he has neglected my sister Shu Fei.
Come. Come and bring the reward."
Yun Shang kept her eyes fixed on Concubine Shen Shu, even the gentle movements between her eyebrows were caught in her eyes. Concubine Shen Shu's face suddenly turned pale, her hands trembled slightly, and then she smiled coldly and said: "That's true.
It is a happy event, but it is difficult for Your Majesty to remember my concubine under such circumstances."
Concubine Shen Shu wanted to make the queen angry, and wanted to tell the queen that even though Concubine Xiang and Hui Zhaoyi were pregnant, Xia Huanyu still remembered to give her a reward while she was still in the cold palace, so the old relationship was unforgettable.
Obviously the Queen was not easy to get along with, so she laughed when she heard this, "It's no wonder that Your Majesty has been really busy these past two days. If Chang'er hadn't reminded her, I might have forgotten this matter."
Even though the queen called her by name, Yun Shang just stood there with a smile on her face, looking at the surrounding situation secretly.
Concubine Shen Shu lowered her head and said nothing. The veins on her hands were slightly bulging.
"I've been here for a while, why don't I see Mrs. Xian?" The queen raised her eyes and glanced around, with a bit of disgust in her eyes, and said calmly.
Concubine Shen Shu still didn't raise her head and just responded casually: "It's been raining for the past two days. Mrs. Xian caught a cold and is dizzy. She is lying in there now."
"Oh." The queen waved the brocade handkerchief in her hand calmly, "Then just lie down. I won't go in to see you. Princess Rui is also pregnant, so let's leave first to avoid getting over the illness."
Yun Shang responded quickly and helped the queen out of the Wuyan Palace.
After the queen and her entourage came out, the guard in front of the palace door quickly waved his hand: "Close the door."
Yun Shang turned her head and saw Concubine Shen Shu raising her head and looking at their backs between the slowly closing palace doors. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her smile was a bit strange. Seeing Yun Shang turning her head to look at her,
Concubine Shen Shu just raised her hand towards Yun Shang, holding it gently with her thumb, index finger and middle finger touching each other.
Yun Shang frowned, quickly turned around and left behind the queen.
After walking far away, the queen stamped her feet fiercely, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Concubine Shen Shu, this bitch, was once just a dog around me, but now she has learned to bite people, so she thinks
You are amazing."
Yun Shang lowered his head and remained silent.
The queen turned around and glanced at Yun Shang, then said softly: "Even though she is still in the cold palace, I can't tolerate her. What do you think I should do?"
Yun Shang was still thinking about the meaning of Concubine Shen Shu's gesture, and when she heard the Queen's question, she quickly asked softly: "I don't know, His Highness Prince Qi is in Jincheng?"
When the queen heard Yun Shang's question, she stopped and raised the corners of her mouth, "You are really a smart man. King Qi is in Jincheng now, but that woman has always doted on her son very much. Her son
The people around her are die-hard loyalists and their martial arts skills are not low, so it would be difficult to attack her son."
Seeing that Yun Shang's expression changed slightly, the queen immediately asked: "Since you have said such things, what can you do?"
Yun Shang smiled slightly and said softly: "I live in Zhaoxia Palace now, and I have heard a lot about the eldest princess. I heard that the eldest princess has a unique skill, which is to imitate other people's handwriting. This world is so big.
, the eldest princess must not be the only one with such ability, does the queen have a way to find such an capable person?"
The queen glanced at Yun Shang and then responded calmly: "Of course there are, but I am very curious, what is the use of finding such a person?"
"My wife heard a story. At the end of the Shu Kingdom, during the troubled times, there was a stone tablet that suddenly appeared. It was engraved with the birth date of Emperor Yuan of Xia Kingdom, and the destiny of Emperor Yuan of Xia Kingdom was engraved on it. It was because of this that the people recognized it.
Emperor Yuan of the Xia Kingdom was the one who was truly destined by destiny. He supported him as the emperor, and that's why the Xia Kingdom came into existence." Yun Shang said slowly, "My wife asked the Queen to find a capable person, because she wanted to
He also helped carve such a stone tablet and write His Highness the King of Qi’s birth date on it, and then write the destiny of his destiny.”
The queen looked at Yun Shang with burning eyes and frowned slightly, "Isn't this helping King Qi? The people of Xia State believe in the power of ghosts and gods. If this happens, I'm afraid the people will wholeheartedly support King Qi."
A smile appeared on Yun Shang's lips, but with a hint of coldness: "Emperor Yuan was able to take advantage of the opportunity to ascend the throne because the era he lived in coincided with troubled times. But now that His Majesty is in the prime of life, strong and a wise king, the Queen Mother feels that
Now, if such a stone tablet appears, how will Your Majesty react?"
The queen pondered for a long time before bursting into laughter: "Okay, Princess Rui is really smart. But I don't understand. If it's just a stone tablet, anyone can carve it, so why do we have to find someone who can imitate human handwriting?"
?”
"If the handwriting on this stone tablet is the handwriting of Concubine Shen Shu, what do you think your majesty will do?" Yun Shang straightened her sleeves that were a little messy in the wind, her voice was still very soft.
The queen even touched her hands and laughed: "This two-bird-with-one-stone plan is really wonderful."
Yun Shang also lowered her head and smiled lightly. The queen glanced at the person walking slowly in the distance, smiled and said: "The palace servants in your palace are here to look for you. I guess there is something wrong, so you can
Please step back first."
Yun Shang turned her head and saw Cai Yi walking over in a hurry. She responded softly and saluted the queen.
The queen left with her palace attendants.
"Princess." Cai Yi walked to Yun Shang's side, her eyes fell on the queen's back in the distance, and then she said softly: "Eunuch Qi, the chamberlain supervisor, is here."
Qi Ruihai, what is he doing here? Yun Shang frowned slightly, nodded, turned around and walked towards Zhaoxia Palace.
Caiyi followed Yun Shang and was silent for a long time before saying softly: "This servant just looked at the Queen who seemed to be very happy, which is extremely rare. Except when facing His Majesty, the Queen hardly smiles at other times.
"
When Yun Shang heard what Cai Yi said, a sneer appeared in her heart, and she responded lightly: "I just went to Wuyan Palace to see Concubine Shen Shu. Although Concubine Shu was a little thinner, she was still very energetic.
, the Queen is naturally very happy."
When Yun Shang said this, Cai Yi responded softly and stopped speaking.
Qi Ruihai seemed to have been waiting for some time, and Yun Shang saw from a distance that he looked slightly impatient. Yun Shang smiled and stepped into the hall.
"I wonder why Eunuch Qi came to look for me today? Has Eunuch Qi found my maid?" Yun Shang walked to the chair and sat down, looking at Qi Ruihai indifferently.
Qi Ruihai has changed his expression, with a somewhat attentive smile, which is mixed with a bit of helplessness: "I really want to apologize. There is no news about Miss Qianzui yet."
Yun Shang frowned when he heard this, with a bit of displeasure in his eyes: "The princess brought into the palace only two maids, and now one of them is missing. The chambermaid oversees tens of thousands of maids in the palace.
The palace servants can't even find a maid, which really opened my eyes to this princess."
Qi Ruihai was reprimanded by Yun Shang, and he looked a little confused. He could only smile and said: "Princess, forgive me, it is my fault. I will definitely send more people to conduct a comprehensive search."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and looked at Qi Ruihai: "I wonder why Eunuch Qi came to see me today?"
Qi Ruihai was stunned when Yun Shang asked him this question. He stayed for a moment before he quickly said: "It's nothing important. I just passed by the Chaoxia Palace and came in to ask the princess if there has been anything unusual in the Chaoxia Palace recently.
?”
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Qi Ruihai, then smiled coldly: "My princess's maid is missing? Is this an abnormality?"
Qi Ruihai was full of embarrassment and lowered his head not knowing how to answer.
Yun Shang snorted, stood up, ignored Qi Ruihai, and went straight into the inner hall.
Caiyi also followed in and said softly to Yun Shang: "Princess should not embarrass Eunuch Qi like this. In this palace, places like the Internal Affairs Supervisor and the House of Internal Affairs do not seem to be of much use, but
But he is the one who can’t afford to offend the most.”
Yun Shang didn't say anything, walked to the soft couch and lay down. She knew Qi Ruihai's purpose of coming very clearly. There had been no news about Qianqing for so long, so he came to ask about her. Yun Shang entered the Linglong Palace.
When he arrived, he saw several chamberlains wearing chamberlain uniforms and above standing outside. Qi Ruihai most likely wanted to search the Chaoxia Palace.
Now that she had guessed his purpose, she had to take a preemptive strike. After all, she was also a princess, and she was now living in the palace, and many people were watching. If she showed any signs of weakness, she would definitely be captured by others.
Trampled underfoot.
Qin Yi took the teapot and left the inner hall. When Cai Yi saw that Yun Shang ignored her, she stopped mentioning Qi Rui Hai and only said softly: "The princess wants to take a nap for a while. I will fetch the quilt for you."
Yun Shang nodded lightly, picked up the book at hand and started reading.
Cai Yi took out the quilt, and Yun Shang waved her hand to let her go out. When Qin Yi made tea, Yun Shang drank the tea for a while and said softly: "I'll sleep for a while first. I'll wake up in an hour."
