The seventh Prince didn't seem to have the slightest idea to continue to pretend in front of Yun Shang. He sneered, "I admit that I was not as good as Luo Qingyan when we were in the State of Ning, or even worse than you. But It was just because you have been in the State of Ning for many years with a deep foundation and have some advantages. You should have come to the State of Xia and competed with me. That thing should belong to me. How could I let you take it away so easily? "
Yun Shang burst into laughter as if she had just heard a big joke. It was only after a while that she opened her mouth and said, "Really? Belong to you? Your highness is always a good actor, but your acting is so good that the emperors and courtiers thought you were really in poor health. Don't you know that a country can accept an ordinary emperor, but not an emperor who is extremely weak and could die at any time, even if he is talented and bold?"
The seventh prince shivered and stared at Yun Shang.
"Because the former makes people disappointed, and the latter could make people in despair at any time." Yun Shang turned to the seventh prince and smiled faintly, "Your Highness, you may also feel that you are popular, but I want to tell you a truth. That is, the commoners don't have so much spare time to care about who the emperor is, and they are more interested in whether they are safe and comfortable, and what kind of life they live."
The seventh prince frowned and his hand trembled. Yun Shang pulled her cloak tighter, and touched the white fox fur on it with a smile. Her smile became gentler. "Besides, I don't think Prince Rui is inferior to your highness. As for the support of the officials... "
Seeing a maid walking towards them slowly, Yun Shang turned around and said quickly, "Most officials of the court support the one favored by the emperor."
Then she went to Lady Hua Guo's yard without looking back.
Lady Guo and Hua Yutong were no longer in the yard. The maid said that Lady Hua Guo felt cold in the yard, so they went back to the room. When Yun Shang entered the room, she saw Lady Hua Guo sitting on a rosewood chair, and Hua Yutong squatted in front of her, pointing at the piece of embroidery cloth on her knees.
Yun Shang deliberately made some noise from the jade pendant pressing on the hemline of her dress. Both of them looked up. When Lady Hua Guo saw Yun Shang, she smiled and said, "Shang'er, come here. Do you like the fabric?"
Yun Shang smiled and walked quickly towards it. It was a piece of material embroidered with peony, which was lifelike and beautiful. The color added a sense of solemnity to it.
"I don't know much about embroidery. It's difficult for me to judge whether it's good or not, but as an outsider, I think the peony is very beautiful and the cloth makes it look even more dignified." Yun Shang smiled softly.
"You are not good at needlework
the palace?"
Yun Shang was puzzled again. "Grandma, you mean that Yutong..."
"Yutong is indeed a straightforward girl" Lady Hua Guo burst into laughter. "But the seventh prince couldn't think so. He only believes that Yutong is putting on a show. He will keep an eye on Yutong, and the more he tail, the more he knows what Yutong has done. On the contrary, he will think that Yutong is a scheming woman and then pay more attention to her. So that's the best chance."
Yun Shang's eyes lit up, "Moreover, I have just said to the seventh prince that neither his majesty nor the officials in the court will accept a man without a descendant to take the throne..."
Lady Hua Guo laughed out loud again. "Haha... Maybe you have done us a great favor by chance. But don't provoke the seventh prince this way next time. He has a bad heart. "
Hearing her words, Yun Shang felt relieved and admired Lord Hua Guo and Lady Hua Guo even more. As the old saying goes, The older the wiser. After so many years in the Jin City, even if he retired, he could still keep a invincible position.
"Ahem!" The maid at the door coughed, and Yun Shang was confused. Before she could react, she heard Lady Hua Guo changed the topic, "Now you've just been pregnant for two months. It will be the hottest time when you give birth to the baby. Besides, it's not so convenient for you to stay in confinement of childbirth. You'd better prepare in advance. By the way, have you arranged nannies? "
Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "Yes, your ladyship. His highness has brought nannies into the mansion. Grandmother is right. Having nannies is of great importance. I don't know anything about it, and thanks to them. "
"That's good." Lady Hua Guo smiled.
"Your Highness." The maid greeted the seventh prince at the door. Yun Shang lifted her eyes to cast a glance at Lady Hua Guo. Then she realized that the maid must be sending a message to them just now.
