There was hesitation on Yun Shang's face, and Emperor Ning saw something was wrong. He took a step forward and said, "Eunuch Liu, has your Supreme Emperor returned to the palace? I have been in Ningguo for a while. Previously, because the Supreme Emperor was not in the palace,
Because of this, I have never had the opportunity to reminisce with him. Today, I happen to be here, and I also want to visit an old friend."
Yun Shang's heart moved and she understood why Xia Huanyu summoned her in Hua Ling's name. The one she must be on guard against was Emperor Ning. If Xia Huanyu summoned her in his own name, since Emperor Ning was here, he would definitely
Even if he wanted to do something to Yun Shang, he would not dare to do anything easily due to the presence of Emperor Ning. But with Hua Ling's name, Hua Ling is a female member of the palace after all, Ning
It seemed inappropriate for Emperor Ning to visit him. In this case, Emperor Ning would not go with Yun Shang.
It's just that Emperor Ning's words solved the crisis for Yun Shang. She wanted to see how Liu Wen'an would answer. Xia Huanyu must have returned to the Palace of Supreme Harmony. If Liu Wen'an told the truth, Emperor Ning would also
You can go with her. If Liu Wen'an doesn't tell the truth, she will have a way to deal with it.
Although she was not afraid of Xia Huanyu, she did not want to go there unprepared.
When Liu Wen'an heard this, he was slightly stunned, with a look of confusion on his face: "Oh, I really don't know, but before I came here, the Supreme Emperor was discussing government affairs with His Majesty in the meeting hall, but now I don't know
Are you still in the meeting hall? Your Majesty, Ning Guo, why don't you just sit here for a while, and I will go and inquire about it now, and I will come back to you later and give you a reply, do you think it's okay?"
Old Fox, Yun Shang narrowed his eyes and sighed secretly in his heart, but there was no trace on his face. He only smiled and said: "Then father, please sit here for a while, but mother and concubine can go to Taihe Palace with me.
Take a look."
Hearing this, Concubine Jin also stood up and responded with a smile: "Shang'er is absolutely right. I should go and pay her respects to the Queen Mother."
Yun Shang responded with a smile, then turned around and ordered Qian Zui: "Go and bring the little prince over. It's been more than half a year since the Queen Mother left the palace. I haven't seen Chengye for such a long time. I'm afraid I miss you very much."
When Liu Wen'an saw this, a flash of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head and stood quietly aside without saying a word, letting Yun Shang move up and down.
Hua'er quickly hugged Bao'er and put a small cloak on her body. She looked very happy. Yun Shang reached out and touched Bao'er's head, smiled and said: "Your grandparents are back in the palace."
Yes, let’s go and have a look.”
Bao'er stared at Yun Shang with blank eyes, blinked, and then lowered his head.
Yun Shang left Qian Liu and Peilan in the palace to take care of Emperor Ning, and then took Xiao Shujin and Bao'er out of Weiyang Palace. As soon as he walked out of the gate of Weiyang Palace, Yun Shang raised his eyes and looked at Liu Wen'an and said: "Mr. Liu
There is no need to follow me, I can still find the Taihe Palace, so go help my father and see if the Supreme Emperor is still in the meeting hall."
When Liu Wen'an heard Yun Shang's instructions, he quickly responded and stopped. After seeing Yun Shang go away, he turned around and headed towards the meeting hall.
Xiao Shujin turned his head and looked at Liu Wen'an's back, and then said: "I heard that the current Queen Mother is our Ningguo Mrs. Zhao, right? Could it be that she is making things difficult for you? I see you just listened to Manager Liu
There was something wrong with my expression when I was delivering the message."
"The Queen Mother is not sorry, but the manager Liu just now has been Xia Huanyu's personal chamberlain before. I am afraid that only Xia Huanyu can instigate the move. I suspect that the Queen Mother's summons is just a cover. The one who really wants to see me is
Xia Huanyu, Xia Huanyu did this to avoid his father." Yun Shang sighed softly: "Xia Huanyu, even though I have been here in Ningguo for two and a half years, I still can't see through him."
When Xiao Shujin heard this, he just sighed lightly: "It is normal for a superior to have deep thoughts, and since he has been the emperor for so many years, it is difficult to see through it."
Yun Shang's lips curled up, and there was a bit of coldness in her smile: "It's just that it's hard to see through. Now that Luo Qingyan has been on the throne for almost a year, why should I bother to see through Xia Huanyu's thoughts. But even though that person has abdicated,
, but he has repeatedly interfered in the political affairs of the Xia Kingdom, and has been in trouble with His Majesty again and again, which is really puzzling. This time he returned to the palace in such a hurry, I used some means to force him, so I am afraid that he may not be treated well.
See me. But according to the news I received, I thought he would be able to return to the palace tomorrow, but I didn’t expect him to rush back day and night in the last two days and catch me off guard. I’m not ready yet, and I don’t want to suffer from it.
deficit."
When Xiao Shujin heard what Yun Shang said, he finally understood: "He wants to do harm to you? If so, have you prepared secret guards? Don't you want to suffer a disadvantage?"
Yun Shang smiled, stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Shujin's hand and said, "Don't worry, concubine, as long as you are here, he will not do anything to me. This matter is related to some scandals in the Xia Kingdom's royal family that dare not be disclosed to outsiders. He
I won’t let you know.”
"That's good, that's good." Xiao Shujin felt slightly relieved after hearing this, "In that case, then I will always be by your side."
"I'm afraid it's hard to do. He will definitely find ways to drive you away. You are a guest now, so you shouldn't disobey the master's arrangements. However, if Xia Huanyu calls me to the study or other places later to play chess or other pretexts, you
Then I told the Queen Mother that my father had previously said that he wanted to visit the Supreme Emperor, but he didn't know that the Supreme Emperor was in Taihe Palace, so he just sent someone to Weiyang Palace to summon his father. Qianzui and Qianliu acted quickly, and I delayed it for a while.
Time is not a big issue." Yun Shang explained softly.
Xiao Shujin nodded gently, his face calmed down a bit: "I understand."
Yun Shang and his entourage arrived in front of the Palace of Supreme Harmony. The news of the return of the Emperor and the Queen Mother had not yet been revealed, and the Palace of Supreme Harmony seemed calm. Yun Shang thought deeply for a moment, then turned around and said in a low voice: "Send a message to
Secret guards, ask them to find a way to spread the news that the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother have returned to the palace. Within half an hour, I will let the concubines and concubines in the palace know about this."
Qianzui quickly agreed and quietly conveyed the news to the secret guard in the dark with gestures. Yun Shangfang raised his feet and entered the Taihe Palace. In the Taihe Palace, there were faint voices, and there were also palace people talking.
Moving around.
"Greetings to the Queen." The voice of the palace servant came to greet her.
Yun Shang looked into the main hall and saw Hua Ling looking towards Yun Shang. Sure enough, Xia Huanyu was sitting next to Hua Ling.
"Get back on your feet." Yun Shang raised a casual smile and entered the main hall with Xiao Shujin.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father and the emperor. I pay my respects to my mother." Yun Shang saluted, and Xiao Shujin quickly said: "I pay my respects to the emperor, and to the queen mother."
"Get up." Xia Huanyu's cold voice came over.
Yun Shang stood up, Fang raised his head and looked at Xia Huanyu and said: "I didn't know that my father was also in the Taihe Palace. Emperor Ningguo was visiting. I just heard that my father had returned to the palace and said he wanted to come to visit. But Liu
The manager said he didn’t know where my father was."
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, Hua Ling raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Xia Huanyu beside her, with a bit of surprise in her eyes: "Mr. Liu..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Huanyu: "I have been tired from traveling these past few days and am a little tired. It is better to wait until I have straightened myself out before inviting Emperor Ning Guo to come as my guest."
Yun Shang smiled and said "Yes", but Bao'er in Hua'er's arms turned his head to look at Hua Ling and Xia Huanyu, clapped his hands and laughed.
Yun Chang quickly said: "My father and my mother have left the palace for nine months. I haven't seen Chengye for a long time, so Chang'er brought Chengye with me. Now Chengye can walk."
When Hua Ling heard this, she looked happy and said hurriedly: "Really? Hurry, bring Chengye over and show me."
Yun Shang winked at Hua'er, and Hua'er quickly walked to Hua Ling with Bao'er in her arms and handed Bao'er to Hua Ling. Hua Ling quickly took it and said with a smile: "In a blink of an eye, Bao'er
My son has grown so big."
Yun Shang smiled and responded: "Yes, children grow up the fastest."
Hua Ling put Bao'er on the ground and coaxed in a soft voice: "Come on, Bao'er, take two steps to show grandma."
Bao'er smiled and stood on the ground holding Hua Ling's hand. He turned his head and glanced at Yun Shang, then ran towards Yun Shang on his short legs and hugged Yun Sang's leg. Yun Shang squatted down with a smile.
He came down, pointed at Hua Ling and said, "Go to grandma's place."
Bao'er turned his eyes and looked at Hua Ling again, with a bit of confusion in his eyes. After a while, he laughed stupidly, but did not follow Yun Shang's words and go back to Hua Ling's place.
Xia Huanyu watched quietly from the side, with a neutral expression on his face, and after a while he said, "Maybe you said something?"
Yun Shang smiled, shook her head, and responded softly: "Not yet."
Xia Huanyu sneered and was about to speak, but Hua Ling spoke first: "Boys have to wait a little later."
Yun Shang nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Yes, they all say so."
Xiao Shujin also took over the conversation and said with a smile: "My Chenxi didn't start talking until he was almost two years old, but now he's like a chatterbox and doesn't want to be idle for a moment. Chang'er started talking much earlier.
When she is less than 10 years old, she will call her mother."
Hua Ling stood up, walked to Yun Shang's side, squatted down, looked at Chengye and said: "Chengye, be good, come to grandma, grandma will give you something delicious."
Chengye turned his head to look at Hua Ling and fell into Hua Ling's arms.
Xia Huanyu seemed to be unable to sit still. He glanced at Yun Shang and said calmly: "I haven't played chess with the Queen for a long time. I heard that the Queen is good at chess. Concubine Jin will talk to the Queen Mother for a while. The Queen will come to play a game of chess with me.
Let's go." After saying that, he stood up and went to the study.
Xiao Shujin paused slightly and turned to look at Yun Shang. Yun Shang smiled and said, "Hua'er, please stay and take care of the little prince. Qian Liu and Qian Zui will go with me."
The three of them all agreed, and Yun Shangfang followed Xia Huanyu to the study room. (To be continued)
