The smile on Yun Shang's face froze when she heard the words. She looked at Su Ruying who was huddling in the corner of the bed. When they were in the shared guest room, she just thought that Su Ruying was eager to get close to Luo Qingyan because she got used to doing everything the Empress and Su Qi's instructed and she was even trying to persuade her to give up and find her own Mr. Right.
But Su Ruying might have thrown Yun Shang's words to the winds the moment she went out.
"Miss. Su, you said Prince Rui was in your room just now? It must be your illusion. My maid was asked by me to take something to Prince Rui just after you left. Qian Liu, tell Miss Su what His Highness was doing just now. " Yun Shang sneered, staring at Su Ruying with some pity in her eyes.
There was still a trace of confusion in Qian Liu's eyes. When she found that everyone was looking at her, she lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, when I found His Highness, he just finished chatting with Mr. Liu and was about to leave. Then he met Lord Hua Guo on the way to the guest room. Lord Hua Guo complaint the drinking game was too boring and asked His Highness to play chess with him in. Many servants in the Princess Mansion should have seen them in playing chess in the pavilion.
Upon hearing this, Yun Shang turned her eyes back to Su Ruying who was shocked. She smiled and said, "Miss. Su, you are an unmarried girl. What happened to you today must have something to do with the philter in the room. I'm sorry for your suffering. Since we happened to witness it, we could prove for you. But you can't talk nonsense. His Highness is a member of the royal family. It's not appropriate for you to slander him. "
Su Ruying gritted her teeth, trembling. Yun Shang sighed. "If we stay here, I'm afraid it's hard for Miss. Su to calm down after suffering all this... We'd better go out first. Where is Miss Su's maid? Why is she not here? Why not come to serve Miss. Su to get changed?"
From behind the crowd came out a girl who dressed like a maid. She walked to the bed, biting her lips.
Yun Shang gave them a quick glance and turned around. She walked out of the guest room and walked towards the pavilion with Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo.
"Her Highness... Su Ruying..." Qian Zhuo chuckled and said.
"Ahem!" Qian Liu quickly took Qian Zhuo's hand and interrupted her.
Yun Shang pretended not to hear her. She walked into the pavilion, and saw Luo Qingyan and Lord Hua Guo playing chess there. They were in a stalemate. Lord Hua Guo scratched his ears and racked his brains, while Luo Qingyan looked very calm. He glanced at Yun Shang and waved at her with a smile.
Yun Shang walked to Luo Qingyan and stood behind him. Looking at the chessboard, she couldn't help laughing. The black is in check, no wonder Lord Hua Guo was thinking very hard.
"It's done?" Y
should not do. You and Qian Zhuo were being trained together and came to me at the same time, so there is a special friendship between you. I think it's a good idea that you have a talk with her." Yun Shang nodded. Then she fixed her eyes on her book again.
After a while, the desserts were served and Luo Qingyan returned to the room. Yun Shang put down the book, helped Luo Qingyan take off his cloak and handed it to Qian Liu. Then, she reached out to touch Luo Qingyan's hand and said with a smile, "Your Highness's hand is warm. There are many braziers in the room and it might be stuffy for him. Qian Liu, open the window."
"Open the one next to the desk. I'll be reading there." Luo Qingyan added with a smile.
Qian Liu replied and opened the window at the desk. Luo Qingyan took a piece of dessert from the plate at Yun Shang's hand, put it into his mouth, and ate it slowly. Then he turned to Yun Shang with a faint smile, "After what happened with Jing Wenxi, I've known that all the women who have a crush on me are vicious beasts. Today I have relieved our worries. Are you satisfied with it?"
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing when she heard Luo Qingyan's joking tone. She raised her hand and patted Luo Qingyan on his arm, saying, "Your Highness, I'm quite satisfied with it." But then she frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Susan has been ruined. What a pity! She is such a beautiful girl." However, even we have got rid of Su Ruying, the Empress will certainly not give up. I'm afraid she will trying every means to marry some ladies into our mansion. Maybe some Li Ruying or Zhao Ruying."
Hearing this, Luo Qingyan frowned and said seriously, "It might happen. If that's the case, I'm afraid there is only one way to make the Empress give up."
"Really?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. "What is it?"
Luo Qingyan smiled. "I'm afraid the only way is telling her that I'm impotent."
