Lady Hua Guo was silent for a moment before she continued, "I have several sons, but I have only one daughter. She is the apple of my eye. I doted on her ever since she was just a little baby. I didn't want her to join the imperial household at first, but she was chosen by herself. The emperor has also promised us that he will keep his promise as she is the only one in the imperial household. And he did it. But she was still very young. She died before she even reached twenty years old. "
Tears welled up in Lord Hua Guo's wife's eyes. Yun Shang hurriedly held her hands in hers and said, "grandmother..."
"When I knew Qingyan's existence, I was so happy. I thought since Qingyan had survived, Ling'er should also be fine too." Lady Hua Guo shook her head and said, "Well, it's in the past. I'm fine. I've accepted the fact for a long time."
Yun Shang opened her mouth to say something, she wanted to tell her that Hua Ling was still alive, but finally she swallowed it down.
Lady Hua Guo stood up and said, "let's go. Your grandfather is coming back soon. Let's wait him in the garden house. Your aunts, uncles and cousins are all here. They must be happy to see you, but unfortunately... "
Yun Shang knew what she meant, but unfortunately the prince wasn't there. Yun Shang thought for a while and said with a smile, "grandmother, I have a way to ask Prince Rui to come here."
"What is it?" Lady Hua Guo's eyes lit up and she looked at Yun Shang like a child.
Yun Shang smiled, "it's easy. I can stay in the mansion to accompany you later."
Lady Hua Guo meditated for a moment and knew Yun Shang's plan. She giggled and said, "you just
ble. They asked Yun Shang something about the state of Ning, and introduced the situation in the mansion to her. Yun Shang heard their words and smiled. She had investigated the mansion before.
After dinner, Lady Hua Guo held Yun Shang's hand and chatted with her in the garden house. The others didn't leave, and stayed in the garden house.
"Your Majesty said you are good at chess. Come and play with me." After playing with his great grandson for a while, Lord Hua Guo looked up at Yun Shang and said.
Yun Shang smiled and said yes. When the servant came with the chessboard, she sat down beside it. The others rushed to them. Yun Shang was surprised, but when she saw the sympathy in the eyes of her aunts and uncles, she thought for a moment and became more confused.
But soon Yun Shang knew why they were all so excited, because Lord Hua Guo was very fond of repentance.
"No no no, you can't get down here." As soon as Yun Shang put down the piece, Lord Hua Guo quickly took up the piece she had just put down and said, "get down here instead." He pointed to another place as he spoke.
