Hearing this, Yun Shang gently tapped the soft edge and asked, "Do you know the identity of the person who is rumored to be going to the theater with the Seventh Princess?"
Qianyin nodded softly: "It is said that he seems to be the cousin of the seventh princess. The seventh princess's mother's family is not from Jincheng, but it is considered a well-known family in the local area. It seems that the seventh princess's cousin has been close to the seventh princess since they were young.
, this time, her cousin came to Jincheng to take part in the imperial examination."
Yun Shang frowned, Hua Yutong was a chess piece of the Duke's Palace, to contain the Seventh Prince. She certainly understood the grievances Hua Yutong had suffered since entering the Seventh Prince's Palace.
However, Hua Yutong really should not have caused such rumors at such a time.
Yun Shang turned to Qin Yi and said, "You will go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion later and send me a message, saying that I will invite the Seventh Princess to go back to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow to visit the Duke's wife."
Qin Yi softly said "Hmm" and understood what Yun Shang wanted to do. After pondering for a while, she raised her hand to take the teapot and added half a cup of tea to Yun Shang. Fang said softly: "I think this is what I want.
It would not be appropriate for the princess to ask the Duke's wife about this matter in front of the Duke's wife, or to ask the Duke's wife to inquire about it. The seventh princess was originally sent to the seventh prince by the Duke's wife. I'm afraid that if you don't pay attention, the seventh princess will feel that,
The Duke's wife has been staring at her, which may make the Seventh Princess wary of the Duke's wife."
Yun Shang frowned and thought for a while, then nodded gently and said: "What Qin Yi said is very possible, so what should Qin Yi say?"
Qin Yi thought for a while and then said with a smile: "I wonder which theater the seventh princess usually goes to? It seems that the princess has never gone to a theater to listen to a play."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then returned to his hometown, and said with a smile: "Since Yu Tong likes this place so much, she must be good at opera and singing." After saying this, Yun Shang turned around and looked at Qian Yin, and whispered softly.
He ordered, "Go and ask Yutong which theater he often goes to, when he usually goes there, and what kind of plays he listens to. If there is a play tomorrow, please help me reserve a seat."
Qianyin quickly responded, "I understand, I will go and find out from the princess."
After Qianyin left, the sky gradually darkened. Yun Shang had dinner and took Qinyi and Qianyin for a walk around the lake. Due to the massacre at Prince Rui's Mansion that day, the mansion was deserted.
Quite a few, Yun Shang stopped walking halfway through and stopped walking, so she sat down to rest in a pavilion by the lake.
"Our Prince Rui's Mansion is probably the most deserted among the royal family and nobles in Jincheng." Yun Shang said with a smile.
There was a slight breeze by the lake, so Qinyi put a cloak on Yun Shang, and then said with a smile: "Desolation has its own advantages, there are not so many right and wrong."
Yun Shang nodded lightly and said with a smile: "After seeing all the farce in His Majesty's palace, compared with our palace, it is indeed much quieter."
Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "By the way, now that Miss Ning Qian has left the palace and the queen has been banned, the harem can now be regarded as Concubine Shen Shu's world."
When Yun Shang heard what Qin Yi said, she smiled and shook her head, "It's hard for me to say. Now that Su Ruhai is at the border, and a good news has just been delivered back to the palace, His Majesty still has to give some face to the Su family, but unless the good news comes
Frequent rumors, otherwise the queen would not be able to regain power so easily. But even if the queen cannot get out, a few of the new beautiful women who entered the palace last year will probably come up soon. Concubine Shen Shu cannot be in power alone. She is smart.
In this harem, concubines who hold all the power but are not the queen are unlikely to end well. Look at the people who have given us orders. When the opportunity comes, we must seize it."
Qin Yi responded repeatedly, and Yun Shangfang stood up and said, "Wang Wanzhi is not in a hurry. Her job is something that no one else can ask for. She can save it first."
Returning to Nanyuan, Yun Shang rested early.
Yun Shang got up early the next morning. It should be a sunny day. Although it was bright, the sun had already begun to show its face.
Yun Shang looked at the scenery outside the window and said with a smile, "It's spring. The peach blossoms in Xia Kingdom are famous far and wide. You can see them this year."
Qinyi put on a pink robe for Yunshang, and then responded softly, "I heard that the peach blossoms on Guangwu Mountain are extremely beautiful, and Guangwu Mountain is a royal garden, and there are not too many people. When the peach blossoms bloom, Princess
You can go take a look."
Yun Shang paused slightly, frowned and said: "Guangwu Mountain, it seems that someone once told me about the peach blossoms in Guangwu Mountain." After thinking for a long time, he realized, "Yes, Liu Yinfeng once mentioned it.
Pass……"
After saying that, he remembered that Liu Yinfeng still seemed to be missing, so he turned around and faced Qianliu and said, "By the way, you send someone to Cangnan to check whether Master Liu Yinfeng is also among Cangnan's army.
"
"Why is the princess checking Mr. Liu? Are you not afraid of the prince being jealous?" Qin Yi joked with a smile.
"Nonsense, Mr. Liu has helped me three times before and even saved my life. I just remembered that he seemed to be missing too and wanted to know if he was safe." Yun Shang glared at Qin Yi and then
Smiling, he walked out the door and went downstairs.
The carriage was already ready, and Yun Shang got on the carriage and headed to the Duke's Mansion.
The Duke's Mansion seemed to be a lot more deserted. Normally, the door to the Duke's Mansion was usually open, but today it was really closed. Yun Shang ordered Qin Yi to come forward and knock on the copper ring on the door. After a long while, the door opened.
He asked, "Who is this noble person?"
When he saw Yun Shang getting off the carriage, he quickly opened the door and came out, "Is the princess here?"
Yun Shang nodded lightly and led Qin Yi and Qian Liu through the door.
"Why don't you open the door in broad daylight?" After entering the door, the doorman quickly closed the door again. Yun Shang was a little curious and asked softly.
The doorman laughed "hehe" twice and then said, "After the incident happened to the Duke of Guo, the old lady gave an order to close the door and not see any guests. Even the usual few people who came in and out had to go to the side door.
.”
Only then did Yun Shang come back to her senses. Almost everyone knew that Duke Hua was poisoned by Snow Lotus, and the commotion was so severe during that time. It was reasonable for the Duke's wife to order the guests to be thanked behind closed doors.
among.
"But the old lady misses the princess. She has missed her several times before." The doorman said quickly.
When Yun Shang heard this, she laughed, thinking secretly that this doorman was very good at flattering her. The lie was just like the truth. The doorman rarely saw the old lady, especially when the door was still closed.
Even if the old lady really missed her, she would never talk to the doorman about it.
After entering the courtyard, she heard voices coming from the outer hall, which seemed to be talking. Yun Shang thought for a while, the greeting hour must have passed, and she was afraid that she had even eaten breakfast, and she didn't know who was in the hall.
.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw several young ladies there. Looking at the fight in the room, it looked like the old lady was instructing several people to read the account books. Seeing Yun Shang come in, Shen Yilan was the first to come to her senses and hurriedly
Throwing the account book aside, he stood up and said, "Princess Rui is here."
Yun Shang could clearly read from her eyes, "Great, Princess Rui is here and she is about to be relieved." Yun Shang laughed, walked to the room and stood still, "Greetings to my grandmother."
The Duke's wife also had a smile on her face, and she waved her hand and said, "Get up."
Then he looked at the grandsons-in-law and shook his head, "Since Princess Rui is here, let's call it a day."
Several people quickly stood up and responded, and Shen Yilan quickly took Yun Shang's hand and asked repeatedly: "We heard that you disappeared in the palace a few days ago, which scared us. What's going on? Are you okay?"
Yun Shang smiled and shook her head, "Everything is fine."
The Duke's wife frowned and said, "Please step aside first. After a while, the children should have finished their morning classes."
Several people quickly bowed and retreated.
After they all left, the Duke's wife ordered the nanny beside her to add a stool beside her. She patted the stool with a smile and said, "Come, sit here."
Yun Shang smiled and walked to sit down next to the Duke's wife. The Duke's wife Fang said softly: "Is everything okay? Is it okay to talk lightly?"
Yun Shang gently nodded, approached the Duke and said, "My grandfather also went to Cangnan. Qingyan also went there a few days ago. It was the day when the palace reported that I was missing. I was also planning to go, but I got caught up in something, so I came back again."
"You are pregnant now, and you still want to go to the battlefield. It is not safe with swords and swords. My Ling'er..." Mrs. Hua Guoguo sighed softly as she spoke, waved her hand, and changed the subject of conversation, " Did the eldest princess really catch her?"
Yun Shang became angry when she heard Mrs. Hua Guogong talk about Queen Hua. Queen Hua went to the battlefield when she was pregnant with Prince Rui, and something happened to her later.
Knowing that the Duke's wife didn't want to mention her sadness, Yun Shang also responded: "I caught it, the eldest princess is too worried, and she wants to take advantage of the fact that the seventh prince and Qingyan are not in Jincheng. You have sought the throne. Your Majesty is pretending to be confused, but your heart is clear. How can the eldest princess not be in trouble?"
The Duke's wife smiled and said, "Don't treat your Majesty as a fool. He has so many faces. When he was still a prince, he knew how to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and he just took the throne from him. Later, after he succeeded to the throne, Su The government has been restricting him, and His Majesty seems to be giving in every step of the way, but secretly, he has eroded so much of the power of the Su family, and the Su family will not last long. When Ling'er became the queen, it was Ling'er who persuaded the old man. , let the old man find an opportunity to hand over the power in his hands to avoid getting into trouble."
"At that time, I didn't understand, because Xia Huanyu at that time was really gentle and gentle on the surface. Others said that he relied on luck to ascend to the throne. Over the years, I have clearly seen that His Majesty's thoughts are not simple. Well, I can bear it." Mrs. Hua Guogong smiled, but a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, "After Ling'er passed away, over the years, I have always wanted to see how the Su family died. I have always wanted to see how the Su family died. I suspect that what happened to Ling'er is closely related to the Su Mansion." (To be continued)
