Empress Hua watched the two people leave the main hall of Weiyang Palace, then turned back and took out the hibiscus flower on her head and handed it to Bao'er, letting him play with it, "After Qingyan was named the prince, there were people in the court.
Many ministers are eyeing the position of concubines around him, and many are even willing to take them as concubines. I have never liked people who have many wives and concubines, and I don’t want to become such a person. When His Majesty asked me a few days ago,
, I rejected them one by one..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows slightly, lowered her eyes and said nothing, and the smile on her lips had a bit of a bitter taste.
Queen Hua paused, then sighed softly, and continued: "It's just that there are definitely not a few women who want to climb onto Qingyan's bed in various ways. You..."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and smiled, with a bit of gentleness in her eyebrows: "I believe in Qing Yan."
Empress Hua's eyes fell firmly on Yun Shang's face. After a long time, she said again: "I know that the relationship between you two is very deep, but for most women, once they get married, their world will be different.
It revolves around her husband. Once there is someone else around her husband, she will have to bear it alone. But it is different for a man. There can be all kinds of women around him, and he can do it for
Love marries a woman. But there is more than just love in this world, power, interests..."
Yun Shang's eyes flashed with determination: "I also said that it's just most women."
Empress Hua was silent for a moment, "I remind you of this matter because His Majesty has mentioned it to me two or three times recently. The reason why I rejected him is just that you just gave birth to Qingyan. If you accept it at this time,
Concubine, I really shouldn’t. But some time later, I don’t know what kind of reason I used to refuse.”
Queen Hua looked at Yun Shang, "You are the princess of Ning State, but you do not have any advantage in terms of status in Xia State. But I think you can use Emperor Ning to beat Xia Huanyu. After all, although Ning State is Xia State,
allies, but there are more than just two countries in the world, Ningxia."
A bright light flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, and after pondering for a moment, she said: "Your Majesty, are you talking about Yelang Kingdom?"
Empress Hua lowered her head and laughed: "You have always been smart, so there is no need for me to explain."
When Luo Qingyan returned to Weiyang Palace from the Imperial Study Room, it was almost midnight. In the main hall, under the palace lantern, Yun Shang and Queen Hua were reading, occasionally exchanging opinions in a low voice.
Luo Qingyan followed Xia Huanyu into the palace and saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
"Where's Chengye?" Luo Qingyan asked softly.
Yun Shang raised her head, saw the two of them, stood up and saluted, and said softly: "I was tired from playing just now, so I fell asleep in the dormitory, but are we going back to the house? If we are going back to the house,
I asked the wet nurse to take him out."
Luo Qingyan nodded gently and said, "It's getting late."
Yun Shang turned around and ordered Qin Yi, who quickly entered the inner hall. After a while, she walked out with the nanny holding Bao'er. Yun Shang walked to the nanny and knocked on it. Bao'er was sleeping very well.
It's sweet, but it's not disturbed at all.
Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang and the emperor and empress to say goodbye, then left Weiyang Palace and went straight to the palace gate.
Late at night, the palace was very quiet. After Queen Xu Shihua came back, there were still a few concubines left in the palace. Seeing that His Majesty stayed in Weiyang Palace every day, they gradually lost their thoughts. The palace seemed a lot deserted.
.
Along the way, I only saw the guards patrolling back and forth in the palace.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Qingyan, who had been silent, then raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Which noble lady did your Majesty introduce to you?"
Luo Qingyan paused, then turned to look at Yun Shang, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes. He put his arms around Yun Shang's shoulders and said, "There are several of them, but I didn't pay much attention to which family's daughter they were.
I just saw the portrait, but I have already forgotten what it looks like."
Yun Shang then laughed: "Your Highness, why didn't you take a closer look? I heard that there are many beauties in Xia Kingdom, and they might be as beautiful as a city."
"Don't talk about the beauty of the city. The beauty of the country is in my own house. Who else should I look at?" Luo Qingyan's voice was soft, but it was like a feather gently tickling the tip of Yun Shang's heart, which made people feel sad.
My whole heart felt crispy.
Yun Shang laughed out loud, with a hint of laughter in her voice, "If His Highness falls in love with any girl, just tell me, and I will personally carry the sedan chair to welcome my sister into the house. She will be gentle and gentle."
To wait."
"Then I'm afraid you won't have this blessing. Unless Concubine Jin has another daughter, you will only have a younger brother and no younger sister in your life." Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hand and squeezed it gently.
, with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Naughty."
Yun Shang grinned and said, "That's really a pity."
The two of them left the palace and took a carriage back to the mansion. The night was already very late. The family of three washed up casually and rested early.
Early the next morning, Yun Shang got up early, called Qin Yi and Hua'er, carried Bao'er and left the mansion together, and went straight to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
The door of the Seventh Prince's Mansion was closed tightly. Qinyi glanced at Yun Shang, then quickly walked to the door and knocked on the copper ring on the door. After a long while, the door was opened, and the doorman saw Qin Yi and Yun Shang.
He seemed to be stunned for a moment, then quickly walked out and saluted: "I have seen the Crown Princess, but I don't know the Crown Princess..."
Yun Shang patted Bao'er's back gently, her voice a bit cold: "Is your princess in the house?"
The doorman responded softly: "Princess, you are here."
Yun Shang said calmly: "Go and tell your princess that I am coming to visit."
The doorman seemed to be frightened by Yun Shang's expression, so he quickly agreed and hurried into the house.
Qin Yi walked to Yun Shang and said softly: "Slave, please come and hug the little prince."
Yun Shang shook her head and curled her lips, "No need, Bao'er is still young and not heavy, I will do it myself."
Yun Shang stood at the door for a long time before she saw Hua Yutong coming to greet him in person. Maybe she cried a lot last night, and her eyes were still slightly red. When she saw Yun Shang, there was a bit of surprise in her eyes.
Yun Shang just pretended not to see her and said calmly: "Could it be that the seventh princess doesn't welcome me?"
When did Yun Shang speak to Hua Yutong in such a tone? Hua Yutong was stunned again, and then said quickly, "No, no, the princess is too worried." After explaining hurriedly, she hurriedly stepped aside and whispered.
He said, "Princess, please come in."
Yun Shang picked up Bao'er and slowly entered the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Hua Yutong did not lead Yun Shang into the courtyard where she lived, but into the flower hall. With a cold smile on Yun Shang's lips, she raised her eyes to look at the furnishings in the flower hall, and sat down slowly after a long while.
Come down.
Hua Yutong was a little panicked and hurriedly ordered the maid to make tea and ordered someone to bring some snacks.
Yun Shang sat quietly, smiling at her discomfort, and raised her eyes to look at Hua'er. Hua'er took out the box in her hand and handed it to Hua Yutong. Hua Yutong raised her eyes and looked at Yun Shang.
, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.
Yun Shang said with a smile: "When I was cleaning the warehouse yesterday, I saw some jewelry, which was brought from Ningguo. Thinking that you also like jewelry, I sent it to you. Do you think it looks good?"
When Hua'er heard this, he opened the small box and showed the jewelry in the box to Hua Yutong.
Hua Yutong's hands trembled slightly, her eyes fell on the box, and the smile on her lips was a bit perfunctory and forced: "It's... good-looking."
Yun Shang pretended not to see him, and said with an authentic look as usual: "You can do whatever you like. It's considered some of my wishes, so just accept them. Today is different in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. In the past, although the Seventh Prince was not in good health, he was still favored by His Majesty.
As a prince, there are naturally many people who fawn over you, but now that the Seventh Prince has been imprisoned by Your Majesty, everyone is in danger, and I am afraid that not many people are willing to get close to him. In this world, there are always many people who add icing on the cake, and few who provide help in times of trouble. "
Hua Yutong's complexion turned a little whiter.
Yun Shang carefully looked at Hua Yutong's face, then frowned and said, "The Seventh Princess doesn't look very good. I'm afraid she hasn't had a good rest recently. The Seventh Princess should take more care of herself."
Okay, now that the Seventh Prince is still in the Heavenly Prison, the Seventh Prince's Palace has to rely on you to take charge of the overall situation. Didn't you often complain that the Seventh Prince's Palace didn't have a place for you to speak? This is a good opportunity."
Hua Yutong couldn't hear the sarcasm in Yun Shang's words. She bit her lip and said, "I know that I couldn't forgive the Crown Princess before, but now the Crown Princess is adding insult to injury, but it's not very graceful?"
Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, the rabbit bit someone when it was anxious. Hua Yutong was not a kind person, so how could he let her be ridiculed like this.
"The seventh princess probably didn't know me deeply enough before. I have never been kind." Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Hua Yutong, "Before the seventh princess did those things, did she ever think about whether she had done anything wrong?
Demeanor? My concubine can be considered to be extremely kind to you. When the seventh princess used her cousin to inform the seventh prince and secretly contacted the seventh prince's subordinates, did she ever think of Washington and me? The seventh princess was approaching.
When I wanted to get something out of my mouth, did I feel any guilt in my heart? When the Seventh Princess stood in the Tai Chi Hall and identified me, did the Seventh Princess ever have any regrets?"
Yun Shang gently stroked Bao'er's back and sneered: "The seventh princess may have forgotten that she still has elderly parents and brothers and sisters."
Hua Yutong looked a little pale and raised her eyes to look at Yun Shang, with a bit of pleading in her eyes: "I did something wrong. I am willing to accept the punishment, but please don't make things difficult for my family."
"Oh?" Yun Shang smiled, "So the Seventh Princess actually has a family? I thought that the Seventh Princess only had the Seventh Prince in her heart. By the way, speaking of the Seventh Princess's family, I recently learned about one
I wonder if the seventh princess knows the news?"
Hua Yutong looked at Yun Shang blankly and shook her head.
Yun Shang leaned forward slightly, "The seventh princess's father robbed civilian girls and now has six lives in his hands. The seventh princess's brother bought and sold official positions and illicit salt..."
Hua Yutong looked at Yun Shang with a bit of astonishment in her eyes, and her voice rose a little higher, almost shouting: "You're talking nonsense!"
Perhaps the voice was too sharp, and Bao'er in Yun Shang's arms frowned, curled his lips, and burst into tears.
Yun Shang hurriedly coaxed a few words and shook her gently, and Bao'er gradually stopped crying. Yun Shang raised her eyes, with a bit of cruelty in her eyes: "If the Seventh Princess doesn't believe it, you can write a letter.
Go home, ask your father and brother, and then you will know whether what I said is true or false."
Hua Yutong was trembling all over, as if she was extremely cold, "No, no."
"This matter did not happen recently, but was discovered a few years ago. It's just that your father and brother did it very secretly. But if you don't want others to know, it's not unless you are yourself. Although there is no one of the right age in the Duke of Hua's house,
"You are a girl, but in the Hua family, there are women of the same age but with outstanding looks. Have you ever thought about why the seventh princess chose you?" Yun Shang glanced at Hua Yutong.
One glance, without concealing the contempt in his eyes.
Hua Yutong fell silent and didn't speak for a long time, but her body kept trembling slightly.
The maid served tea, glanced at the Seventh Princess silently, and then stepped aside.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and glanced at the maid, frowned and said: "You are not allowed to serve in this room, please get out."
The maid hesitated a little, glanced at Hua Yutong, and when she saw that Hua Yutong didn't speak, she slowly withdrew.
Hua Yutong seemed to have recovered a little, with bloodshot eyes, she raised her head and asked softly: "What do you want me to do?"
Yun Shang shook her head: "No, I don't have anything to ask you to do, but I suddenly found out about it, and I was afraid that your family would still keep it in the dark, so I kindly came to tell you."
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the box full of jewelry, and then she smiled and said: "By the way, the seventh prince will be executed in a few days. If the seventh princess wants to, she still has a chance to visit her in the prison.
Visiting the Seventh Prince, after all, they are a husband and wife, after all, you are the one you love deeply. The appetites of the guards in the prison are not small. If you are in trouble and cannot raise the silver, since the jewelry in the box is given by the concubine,
I gave it to you and let you do with it. You can pawn it or give it directly to the guard in the prison that day."
Yun Shang stood up, "By the way, I heard before that the Heavenly Prison was too cold, and the Seventh Prince was also feeling a little unwell in the Heavenly Prison. I heard that he was suffering from an old disease, and all the bones in his body were broken.
The pain is severe. There is a doctor at Xiaoji Pharmacy in the west of the city who has good medical skills and has done a lot of research on this kind of disease. You can also grab a dose of medicine and boil it and send it to the Seventh Prince to relieve the Seventh Prince's pain.
"
Hua Yutong had been sitting still, with beads of sweat oozing out from her forehead, and the hair on her forehead was soaked through.
Seeing this, Yun Shang smiled and said: "You choose the road yourself. No matter whether it is right or wrong, you have to walk it yourself. I would like to see how he will behave when you abandon everything for him.
How will I treat you?"
After Yun Shang finished speaking, she carried Bao'er out of the flower hall and left the Seventh Prince's Mansion. (To be continued)
