Yun Shang approached her and helped her up. She said with a smile, "Lady Hui, you don't have to be so courteous to me. You are pregnant now." Then she looked back at Hua Yutong and continued, "It's said that the seventh prince knelt in front of the Taiji hall for a long time. Last night, Prince Rui also came to the imperial palace. Do you know is it going now?"
Lin Youran looked at Yun Shang and then at Hua Yutong, and then she said, "Yesterday when I went to the Taiji hall to deliver soup to the emperor, I saw the two princes. I heard that the two princes were called into the Taiji hall by the emperor early in the morning, and they should be fine."
Yun Shang nodded, "Thank you, Lady Hui."
Smiling, Lin Youran bowed to Yun Shang. She asked in a soft voice, "Your Highness, would you like to have a seat in the palace?"
"No. since his Highness has been called into the Taiji hall, I will go there to wait for him with the seventh princess." With a faint smile, Yun Shang bowed to Lin Youran and walked out of the Xiang Zhu Palace with Hua Yutong holding her hand.
"It's not much different from what I expected. I think they should be out of the imperial palace after the morning court. Let's wait for them outside the Taiji hall." Yun Shang turned around and said to Hua Yutong.
Hua Yutong nodded slightly and followed Yun Shang quietly with her head down.
Walking out of the Xiang Zhu Palace and entering the imperial garden, they heard a girl's voice. "Sister, it's her. She hit me yesterday. Sister, you must avenge me."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the direction of the noise. She saw two women sitting in the pavilion. One of them was dressed in peachy imperial costume and she had met her twice. She was Lady Xian in the imperial household. The other one who dressed in a light yellow dress was not a stranger to her. She just met her in the Ling Yin Temple yesterday. The one who said she would definitely become the wife of Prince Rui.
When Lady Xian saw Yun Shang, she hurriedly came over and bowed to her, "Your Highness."
Yun Shang smiled, walked to Lady Xian and bent down to help her up. She glanced at the lady who was still standing in the pavilion, and asked, "Is she your relative?"
It seemed that Lady Xian was a little embarrassed. She bowed her head and said gently, "Yes, she's my sister."
"Really?" Yun Shang took back her hand and said with a
said with a smile, "Let's go back home first. You stayed up all night. I'm afraid you are too tired."
After a moment's silence, Luo Qingyan walked out of the palace with Yun Shang. When they were back in the yard, Yun Shang ordered some hot water to help Luo Qingyan take a bath and wash his face, change into a white underwear, and push him to bed.
Yun Shang put down the bed curtain for him. When she was about to get up and leave, Luo Qingyan held her hand. "I heard that you went to the palace early this morning. Why don't you have a rest with me?"
Yun Shang shook her head. But then she was pulled by Luo Qingyan and fell down on the bed. Luo Qingyan emitted a loud laughter from the bed curtain, followed by Luo Qingyan's melancholy voice, "Shang'er, now that you are pregnant, we can't do that, can we? It has been a long time since the last time we did it."
Yun Shang choked on her saliva and coughed for a while before she snapped: "No way!"
"But they said that as long as we are very careful..." Luo Qingyan said with infinite grievance as if he was a spoiled child.
"They?" Yun Shang chuckled, "Who are they?"
After a long time, Luo Qingyan said hesitantly, "Lord Hua Guo."
"What? You are asking Lord Hua Guo about it?" Yun Shang screamed suddenly and whined, "How can you ask Lord Hua Guo? How can I face him in the future?"
Yun Shang kept muttering why Luo Qingyan told Lord Hua Guo about it. Soon her tone changed and her breath became more heavily.
"Be gentle..." Yun Shang cried, "My clothes! It's new! "
A moment later, she didn't even have the strength to complain.
