Yun Shang's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and she folded the letter. After a while, she sighed quietly: "He...just left like this?"
Luo Qingyan nodded gently, lowered his eyelids, and concealed the darkening in his eyes: "Actually, he is the one who was hurt the most in the whole thing. Xia Houjing has been in the palace since he was born, and he and Cao Wenxi are not very close.
Xia Houjing didn't care about his emotions and how Cao Wenxi ended up, but his parents were harmonious and loving when Liu Yinfeng was young, and he had a deep affection for Cao Wenxi. Liu Yinfeng had always known that Xia Houjing was his biological brother.
, he has been teaching him personally since he was a child, and now that Xia Houjing has become like this, he is afraid that he is also blaming himself. Let him watch the two people who are closest to him by blood in the world end badly, and he feels in his heart
I’m afraid it will be torture.”
Yun Shang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Liu Yinfeng is an excellent person, as gentle as the wind, as gentle as jade, not in love with power, and full of talent. It's a pity that people can choose many things in this life, but they can't choose themselves.
Since this is the path he likes, if he lives a happy life, let him go. But his identity is different after all, so your Majesty should send some people to protect him secretly."
Luo Qingyannian reached out and rubbed Yun Shang's hair, and said with a smile: "Do you think Liu Yinfeng has been at the center of power for so many years and doesn't even have the ability to protect himself? Ordinary people are afraid that they can't touch him.
You don’t have to worry at all.”
"That's good." Yun Shang stood up, walked to the window and stood still. The leaves of the trees in the yard fell to the ground. Winter is coming soon. After winter, it will be spring. The light mist promised a few years ago
The promise of peach blossoms in the mountain failed to come true after all. I wonder where will that man, who is like the spring breeze, watch the peach blossoms bloom next spring?
The days gradually calmed down, and Yun Shang felt a little uncomfortable. Recently, she woke up very early every morning. When she got up in the morning, she dealt with the affairs of the palaces, courtyards and bureaus one by one. By noon, the weather was getting colder.
, Hua'er didn't take Bao'er out to play much anymore, so Yun Shang took Bao'er to read and read together every afternoon. Occasionally, Emperor Ning and Queen Hua came into the palace with Chen Xi, and they walked around and listened to plays together.
, listen to the music.
Xi Yunshang didn't ask much about Xia Huanyu's treatment of Cao Wen, nor did she mention it to Hua Ling. However, one day when she and Hua Ling were strolling in the imperial garden, Hua Ling took the initiative to mention the matter.
"I heard that King Xian left Jincheng? It's a pity for that child. I heard of his name when I was in Ningguo. He is young but has good abilities. It's a pity that he has to leave such a mother behind."
At that time, Hua Ling took the steamed buns handed over by the palace maid, tore some steamed bun residues and fed them to the fish in the lake. A group of fish gathered around and fought for each other, which was very lively.
Yun Shang's eyelids trembled slightly, and after pondering for a moment, she began to persuade: "I have met Cao Wenxi several times. She has excellent disguise skills and is very good at disguise. My father was also deceived by her.
That’s all.”
When Hua Ling heard this, she laughed and pondered for a long time before saying, "I understand what you want to say. I am already this age and have experienced a lot, so what can I say?"
Yun Shang lowered her eyes, lowered her head slightly and smiled.
Returning to Weiyang Palace, before entering the inner hall, I heard the sound of laughter and laughter in the inner hall. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, opened the bead curtain and walked in. She saw Qian Zui, Qian Liu and Peilan Hua'er surrounding each other.
Tuan, even Bao'er stood on the ground, lying on the soft couch with his hands, looking hard at something.
Yun Shang was full of surprise. When she stepped forward and took a look, she saw that it was Ning Qian who had entered the palace, and this time she was not the only one who came alone. She also brought her daughter.
The little girl was curled up in Ning Qian's arms, wrapped in a peach-pink swaddling clothes, with only a small face exposed. She seemed to be curious about the people laughing and joking with her, and her eyes were wide open.
.Although the child is still young, his face has gradually grown, and he looks more like Ning Qian, but his peach blossom eyes are exactly the same as Wang Jinhuan's.
"This kid is quite adorable, and he will definitely become a powerful landowner in the future." Yun Shang said with a smile.
Only then did everyone realize that Yun Shang had returned to the house, and they hurriedly stood up straight and saluted. As soon as they got out of the way, Yun Shang saw Bao'er staring blankly at the little girl from Ning Qian's family, but he continued to look at her.
He couldn't even turn his eyes. When Yun Shang saw this, he couldn't help laughing, walked over to Ning Qian and sat down next to her.
"Bao'er, what are you looking at?" Yun Shang joked with a smile.
Bao'er blinked, turned to look at Yun Shang, then looked back at the child in Ning Qian's arms, pointed at the little girl, and laughed.
Seeing this, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said, "Bao'er likes her so much, how about letting her be your wife?"
Before Bao'er had any response, Ning Qian had already raised her head and glared at Yun Shang: "How can I be such a mother to you?"
Yun Shang picked up Bao'er, held her in her arms, and glanced at Ning Qian: "How long have you been a mother? Then you will teach me a lesson. What is this little girl's name?"
Ning Qian curled her lips, with a bit of irritation in her eyes: "Don't mention the name. Yesterday, I had a fight with Wang Jinhuan because of this name. He wanted to name her Xiaohua. Wang Xiaohua said she looks good.
It’s like a flower, what a joke.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help but laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. After a while, she said: "It's really the style of a prince, but the name is too vulgar, you can't compromise. Like this
Well, you can think of a better name, I will ask His Majesty to name it directly, and Wang Jinhuan will not dare to disobey it."
"That's a good idea." Ning Qian's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Excellent."
Yun Shang pondered for a moment and then said: "Why do you think of bringing her into the palace today?"
Ning Qian lowered her head and sighed softly: "Actually, I have something to ask for."
"Why are you and my sister so polite? But what happened?" Yun Shang asked quickly when she saw a hint of sadness in Ning Qian's eyes.
Ning Qian lowered her head and held the little hand of her daughter in her arms, her expression still calm: "Yesterday, I received a letter from Ning State, saying that Mr. Wang is not in good health and is seriously ill. Wang Jinhuan wants to go back to Ning State.
Look, your majesty and master have nothing serious to do here now, and they can walk easily. However, the child is still young, and he has not been in good health recently. He caught a cold a few days ago and has not recovered. I am afraid that he will not be able to travel long distances.
But I couldn’t think of any other suitable person, so I thought of placing the child in the palace and letting the empress help take care of it.”
Yun Shang laughed when he heard this: "I thought it was a big deal. What's the big deal? There are many wet nurses in the palace, and taking care of a child is not a big problem. Don't worry.
.”
Ning Qian nodded gently, her face clearly showing reluctance and a bit of hesitation. After a long while, she sighed deeply.
Yun Shang looked at her and it seemed that she was not only worried about leaving the child in the palace, but also had other things on her mind, so she asked, "What's the matter? You look uneasy."
Ning Qian shook her head and said after a while: "The child will stay with the master. All the clothes she wears on weekdays are ready. Children grow fast, so I have prepared it for three months."
"There will be no shortage of clothes in the palace, but you have to take good care of yourself when you return to Ningguo this time. I have met Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang. She doesn't seem like a hard person to talk to, but you have become someone else after all.
My daughter-in-law, I have to lower my attitude after all. When Mr. Wang gets better, if you are not willing to stay in Ningguo, I will call you back, and they will not dare to refute my face after all." Yun Shang whispered softly.
Ning Qian agreed one by one, handed the child in her arms to Hua'er, stretched out her hands to tuck her clothes, and stood up: "I have to go back and pack my things, so I will leave the palace first."
Yun Shang responded, fearing that the child would make a fuss when seeing his mother leaving, so she let Hua'er carry her and feed her some food first.
Ning Qian stood up and walked to the door. After thinking for a while, she turned back: "By the way, I met Qianyin when I entered the palace. I heard from her that Hua Yutong seemed to be looking for her and wanted to pass her.
I want to see you, but I was rejected by Qianyin, who doesn’t like her very much.”
Hua Yutong? Looking for her? Yun Shang was stunned. It had been some time since the last time she saw Hua Yutong outside the palace. But that day when she saw her, she was like a mouse seeing a cat. How could she not
Suddenly remembered to see her again?
Ning Qian knew Yun Shang very well, and when she saw Yun Shang's expression, she knew what she was thinking. She smiled and said, "I'm afraid I want to ask you to let Xia Houjing go, but I feel that now the empress and your majesty will let Xia Houjing live."
, then all benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted. As for Hua Yutong, the empress should not be harmed. Although the empress looks ruthless, she is actually a soft-hearted person. The empress has been merciful to Hua Yutong many times before, but she should not ask her to do so.
Once I begged you, you softened your heart."
"I know, I know." Yun Shang couldn't help but waved her hand and said, "If you don't leave yet, if your daughter sees you, you won't be able to leave."
Ning Qian then bowed and retreated.
Hua Yutong, Yun Shang silently recited these three words in her heart, and sighed quietly in her heart. Ning Qian was right, she was actually an extremely hard-hearted, but also extremely soft-hearted person.
Yun Shang thought for a long time, then raised her eyes to look at Qian Zui and Qian Liu, blinked and said, "What do you think about Hua Yutong?"
Qianliu smiled and didn't respond, but Qianzui reacted a little loudly and responded quickly: "Don't look at it, my empress, you have been good to her before, but she is really thick-skinned, and she even dares to ask for help.
Come. Fortunately, your majesty and your empress won this time. If Xia Houjing had won, she is not sure how she would treat her." (To be continued)
