When Yun Shang returned to the house after ordering Qin Yi to prepare wine and food, Luo Qingyan's expression had returned to normal and she was sitting on the soft couch reading a book.
Yun Shang saw that the book in his hand hadn't turned a page for a long time. She looked at Luo Qingyan again and frowned slightly. She didn't know what he was thinking. She blinked and felt curious, then quietly walked to the edge of the collapse.
, as soon as he stretched his head to see what book Luo Qingyan was holding, he found that Luo Qingyan had raised his head. Yun Shang blinked and laughed.
"What book are you reading? I watched you for a long time without turning the page." Yun Shang simply sat down on the soft edge.
Luo Qingyan smiled and said: "I'm not reading a book, I'm thinking about something."
Yun Shang was even more surprised. Luo Qingyan had always been calm and composed. What kind of questions would make Luo Qingyan frown uncontrollably?
Luo Qingyan seemed to understand what Yun Shang was thinking, so he put the book aside and said softly: "There are two things that have made me a little troublesome recently. One is the imperial examination. I have not won many people in the court.
, they can only make decisions based on this autumn test. It is a bit difficult for the secret guards to select some people who can participate in the autumn test. The martial arts examination is okay, that is their special skill, but it is a bit difficult for the civil servants.
"
Yun Shang laughed when he heard this: "Why does Your Highness have to choose from among his own secret guards?"
Luo Qingyan was silent for a moment, "Only those among the secret guards are the best to control, right?"
Yun Shang nodded, but then shook his head: "Although the secret guards can work hard for us, as His Highness said, they barely understand the strategy of governing the country. Liu Qiyan in the Ning Kingdom, and now in the DPRK
Li Qianmo. These two people are not actually my secret guards, but they are because I have given them some favors and solved their urgent needs..."
"Liu Qiyan's family was poor and he had great ambitions but couldn't realize them. So I gave him some silver and asked him to secretly become a disciple of my grandfather. My grandfather was well-known, so Liu Qiyan was very grateful. I also ordered someone to teach him.
Her sister plays chess, calligraphy and painting, and their family regards me as their benefactor. Although Li Qianmo's family is not short of money, he is a filial son. His mother is seriously ill, so I ordered someone to take his mother to seek medical advice. These self-proclaimed people
In fact, most noble scholars keep their promises and know how to repay their kindness. The most important thing is that their wealth is clean and others will not be suspicious." Yun Shang said with a smile.
"And even if the person we choose becomes an official in the court, can't we send secret guards to keep an eye on him secretly? If there are some thoughts that shouldn't arise, we can get rid of them very quickly."
Luo Qingyan was silent for a moment, then nodded gently, "What Madam said is absolutely true. When I get down, I will order the secret guards to quietly collect information about the families of the intellectuals in each state..."
Yun Shang smiled and nodded: "His Royal Highness just now said that there are two things that are bothering him. One is the autumn examination, and what is the second?"
Luo Qingyan heard Yun Shang ask this question, but turned her head to look at Yun Shang, frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said: "The second one is for Xia Houjing."
"Huh?" Yun Shang was a little curious, "What unforgivable thing did Xia Houjing do to put His Highness in such embarrassment?"
Luo Qingyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It is precisely because he did not do anything that is unacceptable, but behaved very appropriately. He must be very polite when meeting me every time. During the past two days when we discussed political affairs, he always did everything in the right way."
I am a respected person. Whenever you make any decision, you must listen to my opinion first. If my opinion is inconsistent with his in any way, then obey me. Even in private matters between him and me, I tried to anger him several times.
, but he always looks humble."
Yun Shang also frowned when he heard this: "The Seventh Prince probably hates us to death, so how can he be so respectful to you? It's okay in front of others, but it is too abnormal to do this in front of others."
Luo Qingyan nodded gently, "Yes."
"I'll make another post later and ask the seven princesses to go to Liyuan tomorrow to listen to a play." Yun Shang said with a smile.
Luo Qingyan stretched out her hand and held Yun Shang's hand tightly, her eyes full of tenderness, "The Crown Princess is so considerate of her husband, but she really has nothing to repay for her husband, so why not just pledge yourself to her."
Yun Shang reached out and patted Luo Qingyan's hand away, "What did you say?"
As he said that, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Yun Shang quickly stood up and said, "It should be Qinyi and the others who have brought wine and food. I just asked them to bring them directly to the house."
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, she heard Qin Yi's voice outside: "Prince, Crown Princess, and the servants are here with food and drinks."
"Come in." Yun Shang said loudly.
Qinyi opened the curtain and let the maid carrying the plate walk in.
"The weather is hot, so I have prepared some dishes to go with the wine, as well as chilled fruits and vegetables. The wine is made from bamboo leaves and green leaves. I am thinking that today the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are having a drink, and they will not bring Bao'er up later.
The slave also prepared some ice cubes and put them in the house to cool down the heat." Qinyi said with a soft smile, while ordering people to put the wine, vegetables and ice basins in place.
Yun Shang nodded and said with a smile: "Bao'er has been playing this afternoon and only slept for a short while. Later, I will ask the nanny to put Bao'er to sleep early for the sake of milk."
Qin Yi smiled and agreed, then retreated with the maid.
Luo Qingyan had been silently listening to the gossip between the master and the servant. After Qin Yi left, he walked to the table and sat down, poured a glass of wine, lowered his head and asked casually: "Bao'er... can you
Noisy?"
Although Yun Shang was a little surprised that Luo Qingyan would ask about this matter, she was also very happy in her heart. She sat next to Luo Qingyan and said with a smile: "No, our baby is so well-behaved. Even my grandmother said
Our baby is very easy to take care of. He usually doesn’t cry or fuss, and he doesn’t even recognize birth.”
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he fell silent again, with some thoughts in his eyes. After a long while, he said again: "What kind of person do you want Bao'er to become?"
Yun Shang thought for a while and then responded: "Well, peace and happiness. Although I always feel that in a family like ours, it is a bit unrealistic to say peace and happiness..."
Luo Qingyan raised his hand and gently touched Yun Shang's hair, and said with a smile: "Yes, our baby will be safe and happy."
Yun Shang suddenly thought of Chen Xi, "I don't know how my brother is doing. He is almost two years old. He should be able to talk a lot. My brother is more than one year older than Chen Xi. If they are together, maybe they can talk.
Be a good playmate.”
Luo Qingyan looked at the smile on Yun Shang's lips, then fell silent, poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of Yun Shang, "Prince Chenxi will be fine too."
"Yeah." Yun Shang nodded.
Since Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan got married, there have been very few opportunities to have a drink like this. It should be said that they have never happened before. The two of them had a great time chatting and drank until late at night.
As a result of the drunkenness, Yun Shang slept until the afternoon the next day and woke up. When she woke up, her head hurt slightly.
Qin Yi quickly called Qin Yi, and Qin Yi quickly brought in a cup of hangover soup: "When the prince went out in the morning, he said that the prince had drunk a lot of wine yesterday, and he was afraid that she would have a headache when she woke up, so he told the slaves
Make the hangover soup and keep it warm. Princess, please drink it while it's hot."
Yun Shang nodded, rubbed her temples, picked up the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp. The hangover soup had a strange taste and was not good to drink, but it was very effective. After one bowl, it lasted less than half an hour.
Yun Shang woke up completely.
"Where's Bao'er?" Yun Shang raised her head and asked.
Qin Yi smiled and said: "I took you around this place this morning, and now I'm sleeping after just feeding."
Yun Shang nodded gently, remembering what Luo Qingyan said yesterday, and thought for a while before saying: "Should the osmanthus bloom in the past two days?"
"It's open. It's been open for two days. It hasn't rained much in the past few days, and the osmanthus flowers are in bloom." Qinyi responded softly.
"I remember that there is a pastry in Ningguo that is made of osmanthus. It is called crystal osmanthus cake. It is crystal clear and sweet and delicious. People in Xiaguo like to eat sweet things, but I have never seen this kind of cake in Xiaguo. Please order someone to go there.
Pick some fresh osmanthus flowers, order them to be made, and send some to the Seventh Prince's Mansion for the Seventh Princess to try." Yun Shang ordered softly.
Qinyi raised her head and glanced at Yun Shang, then agreed. Just as she was about to go out to prepare, she was stopped by Yun Shang again: "When it's done, make an appointment to take the dinner to the Seventh Prince's Mansion."
Qinyi agreed and returned to the house after giving the instructions.
"Why haven't you seen Wang Jinhuan and Ning Qian in the past two days?" Yun Shang asked curiously.
Qinyi laughed when she heard this: "Miss Qianqian has been staying with Qianyin recently. She followed Qianyin around to inspect the situation in various shops every day. Mr. Wang naturally ran behind Miss Qianyin.
"
Yun Shang also laughed: "The two of them are happy to be friends, but looking at Wang Jinhuan's attitude, I'm afraid that we will have wedding wine again soon."
After Yun Shang finished speaking, she saw Qin Yi's smile was a bit strange, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "Is there something else that happened that I don't know about?"
"Well." Qin Yi hesitated a little, "When I had some free time a few days ago, I was chatting with the secret guards in the mansion, and I heard an interesting thing."
"Is it about Wang Jinhuan and Qian Qian?" Yun Shang immediately became energetic and said quickly, "What's the interesting story? Tell me about it?"
Qin Yi smiled and said: "The secret guard said that although Mr. Wang follows Miss Qianqian every day, he always stays in Miss Qianqian's yard at night, unable to catch up.
Let’s go. Prince Wang, it’s been a while since you went back to your own yard to sleep.”
Yun Shang burst out laughing when she heard the words, with a bit of slyness in her eyes: "Ning Qian can't let Ning Qian hear these words. Although Ning Qian has been in the brothel for so many years, she dares to do anything.
She said, but she has a weird temper. If she hears us talking about her like this, she will definitely fall out, and I'm afraid Wang Jinhuan won't even be able to touch the hem of Ning Qian's clothes."
After saying that, he pondered for a moment and rolled his eyes: "Presumably, not only will we be able to drink the wedding wine soon, I'm afraid we can also prepare the full moon wine." (To be continued)
