The smile on the corner of Xia Huanyu's mouth was also a bit sarcastic. After listening to Xia Houjing's words for a long time, Fang nodded and said: "Oh? So that's it. That Lao Qi has made a great contribution. When the matter is settled, let's discuss
When merit is rewarded, your share of the credit is indispensable."
Xia Houjing seemed very happy when he heard this. He kowtowed several times and pretended to be humble and said: "My son, I am just doing my little bit to stabilize our Xia Kingdom."
Xia Huanyu glanced at him indifferently, and his eyes became a little colder: "Let's end today's matter. I will deal with it later. This palace still needs to be tidied up for a while, so you can go back to your house first.
.”
Yun Shang, Luo Qingyan, and Xia Houjing quickly accepted the order and slowly exited the Tai Chi Hall.
The three of them walked down the long stone steps together. Xia Houjing turned to look at Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, with a slight smile on his lips, "I heard that today is the full moon banquet of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess's eldest son. I didn't know, sir.
Can I have the honor of having a glass of my nephew's full moon wine?"
Luo Qingyan didn't respond, so Yun Shang smiled lightly and said, "I'm very welcome."
Xia Houjing seemed to be very happy, and he grinned: "Thank you very much, Princess. I have just entered the city. The journey was dusty, and my clothes are disheveled, and it is not suitable to see people. So I went back to the house to change.
clothes, and then came to the door to congratulate her."
After descending the stone steps, Xia Houjing stood in front of the carriage and waited for Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang to get on the carriage. After waiting for their carriage to start, Xia Houjing boarded the carriage himself.
Yun Shang opened the curtain and glanced at the staggering figure of the Seventh Prince. There was a slight coldness in the corner of her mouth, "I can't see through the Seventh Prince more and more."
Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "You don't need to see through him, just look at me."
When Yun Shang heard this, it took a while to realize that Luo Qingyan was teasing her, so she glared at Luo Qingyan and stopped talking.
Luo Qingyan smiled and stopped his joking expression, "You treated him like that when we were in Lingxi City before. He is very vindictive. You still need to be careful at all times."
There was no need for Luo Qingyan to remind him, Yun Shang also knew that he had to be careful, so he nodded lightly and leaned on Luo Qingyan's shoulder without knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while, Yun Shang frowned and suddenly sat up straight: "I suddenly remembered that Yutong did not come to the banquet in the mansion earlier."
Luo Qingyan turned his head and looked at Yun Shang. After being silent for a long time, he spoke quietly, "I saw that you had a good relationship with Hua Yutong before, so I didn't say anything. But you should have noticed something is wrong, Hua Yutong."
I'm afraid Tong is no longer with us, so we can't keep him."
When Yun Shang heard this, she was a little stunned. She was silent for a long time before lowering her head.
She discovered a lot of things that were wrong, and she thought that Hua Yutong might have been bribed by the Seventh Prince. She also sent people to follow Hua Yutong, but she never investigated the matter too deeply.
. She just felt that Hua Yutong should actually be considered one of the few friends she could talk to in Xia Kingdom, and she still had some expectations for this friendship.
But Luo Qingyan would not say such things for no reason. Now that he has said it, it must be a sure thing.
Yun Shang's hands trembled slightly and she closed her eyes gently to prevent the emotions in her eyes from leaking out.
Luo Qingyan put her arms around Yun Shang and said softly: "It's not impossible if you want to keep her, but with my guarantee, she will never become our enemy."
Yun Shang's eyes lit up, she raised her head and looked at Luo Qingyan, smiled and nodded, "Your Highness is so kind."
Seeing that she was happy, Luo Qingyan laughed too, reached out and touched the bun on her head, and said softly: "From uncle, to prince, to your highness, this title keeps changing, which makes me always feel...
It's a bit uncomfortable. From now on, when there are only two of us here, you'd better not call these empty seats."
Yun Shang blinked and raised her head to look at Luo Qingyan. However, she was in a very good mood and followed his words: "Then what do you want me to be called? Qingyan?"
Luo Qingyan smiled, "I think I would be happier if you called me husband or husband than Qingyan."
When Yun Shang heard this, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to twist the soft flesh around Luo Qingyan's waist, and said with a smile, "You are so dishonest."
Luo Qingyan's expression suddenly changed, "Madam, do you dislike me for being old?"
Yun Shang blinked and nodded without hesitation: "After all, you are more than ten years older than me." After saying that, she couldn't help laughing, and solemnly stretched out a finger and raised Luo Qingyan.
He looked up and down his chin, and then said, "Yeah, but he looks very handsome, so I just have to make do with it."
Luo Qingyan frowned, looking very distressed, and leaned down to take a bite on Yun Shang's shoulder.
Yun Shang screamed, "Why are you biting?"
Luo Qingyan laughed, with a look full of joy, "Well, madam, although you are only eighteen years old and have a stunning appearance, you can only take advantage of an old man like me."
Yun Shang laughed because of his rogue temperament. She raised her hand and landed her fist on his chest: "Those civil and military officials should really see your rogue look and see if they dare to do it."
Let you be the prince."
The scoundrel prince suddenly became more serious: "It's your birthday on the tenth day of next month. I didn't have time to celebrate your birthday last year, so I'll make it up to you this year."
When Yun Shang heard this, she was stunned. Except for when she was fifteen years old and had hair extensions, she had indeed not celebrated her birthday in several years. She had almost forgotten when her birthday was?
Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "I'm not going to take a bath that day, why don't we just have a good night's sleep at home."
Yun Shang's face suddenly turned red, "Rogue."
The two of them laughed and laughed and arrived at the door of the Prince's Mansion. They got off the carriage and saw that the Prince's Mansion was also surrounded by guards. The Duke of Hua stood at the door with a big knife on his waist. There were quite a few people who guarded the Prince's Mansion.
Mo Kai's posture.
Yun Shang looked at it and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth: "Grandpa, what are you doing? Could it be that he wants to go into battle with a sword?"
Duke Hua stared at Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang with confusion in his eyes: "Hey, aren't you at the Laoshizi Fengbo Pavilion? How did you get out of the carriage?"
After a pause, before Luo Qingyan and the others could answer, they pulled Luo Qingyan and said: "Just now I went out to investigate and found out that the sound of horse hooves and shouts around the Prince's Mansion were just someone's bluff.
There were only two to three hundred people, and they wanted to scare me. Fortunately, I noticed something was wrong, ran out to take a look, and decisively asked the guards to bring people to take down all those people. But I am worried that something else will happen, so I
Look at the door."
Yun Shang finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said quickly: "Grandpa, don't worry, the rebellion has been put down now. The rebels deserve to die, and those who deserve to be arrested have been arrested. Everything will be fine now."
When Duke Hua heard this, his eyes lit up, but he still felt a bit disappointed: "So fast? I thought there was going to be a fierce battle..."
After feeling a little disappointed, he cheered up again and said, "That's okay, I'll go back and drink."
Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "Okay, today is a great day for Bao'er's full moon. Let Qingyan accompany you to have a few more drinks."
When Duke Hua heard what Yun Shang said, he was very happy. He took Luo Qingyan and hurriedly entered the house and walked towards the garden.
The appearance of Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang naturally caused a commotion. Everyone looked at the figure still sitting in the storm pavilion, and then looked at the two people in front of them, and they were all a little stunned.
Yun Shang ordered someone to blow a whistle towards the Feng Bo Pavilion, and several people from the Feng Bo Pavilion walked down. However, they were just disguised secret guards wearing their clothes.
Yun Shang smiled, greeted the guests to continue drinking, and then walked towards Nanyuan with Hua'er.
In the yard, Mrs. Guogong was sitting in the house, holding a rattle in her hand and teasing Bao'er. The sound of the rattle was very cheerful. Bao'er's eyes were fixed on the rattle in Mrs. Guogong's hand. Qinyi and the nurse stood there.
People on the side couldn't help but smile.
When Qin Yi saw Yun Shang walking in, she hurriedly greeted her: "The princess is back."
Yun Shang nodded slightly, walked to the small bed, looked at Bao'er who was very happy with a smile, and said with a smile: "This is really heartless."
The Duke's wife put down the rattle, smiled and said, "But everything is safe?"
Yun Shang nodded and replied: "Everything is under control."
Yun Shang picked up the rattle and then remembered that it seemed that Luo Qingyan bought this rattle the last time he was on the street. Now it has come in handy. Baoer also liked it very much when he looked at it. Yun Shang
He also took it and shook it.
"It'll be fine if it's okay, it'll be fine if it's okay, I'm actually afraid of something happening." Madam Guogong smiled and said, "Although the Su family is not better than before, after all, they have accumulated so many years, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Now he is just a dead camel. Once this incident is over, the court will probably carry out a major purge."
The Duke's wife nodded: "How can your Majesty not know who those people in the court have turned towards over the years? It's just that the time has not come yet. Now that this matter has come out, it is just a good opportunity to clean it up."
Clean up some disloyal people in the court. Fortunately, the autumn examination is about to take place, and it happens to free up some positions to give young people some opportunities."
After a pause, the Duke continued: "The old man is getting older, and now it's time to resign."
Yun Shang was not surprised. When Empress Hua was the queen, in order to prevent His Majesty from feeling the hegemony of their relatives in Washington, she had once removed her armor. Now Empress Hua has returned to the palace, and Luo Qingyan has made a new crown prince.
, Washington should avoid suspicion. (To be continued)
