Chapter 659 The Undercurrent

It was not until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon that the bed curtain was lifted. Luo Qingyan stretched out his hand to pick up the clothes on the ground and put them on. He picked up the robe on the stool and put it on before he walked out of the inner room.

In the outer room, Qin Yi was sitting on the chair embroidering a pair of shoes. From the size of them, it seemed that they were for a small child. The shoes had a delicate yellow tiger head embroidered on them.

Standing aside and looking at her doing her work for a while, Luo Qingyan asked, "for whom?"

Qin Yi hadn't noticed Luo Qingyan's sudden appearance. Hearing his sudden voice, she was startled and the needle nearly went out of her hand. Qin Yi quickly put the shoes into the embroidery basket, stood up, and bowed to Luo Qingyan and greeted softly, "Your Highness."

Luo Qingyan nodded his head, and pointed to the shoes in the embroidered basket, "you made it for whom?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "it's made for the little prince or princess. I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl. I've embroidered a pair of flowers before, and now I'm making this little tiger on another pair."

Luo Qingyan nodded as if absorbed in thought. After a while, he asked, "why haven't I seen Shang'er doing embroidery?"

Qin Yi, hearing his words, hurriedly answered, "Your Highness, her highness has grown up without being around lady Jin, so no one ever taught her how to do embroidery. Later, his majesty sent her to the Ningguo temple for recuperation. She didn't return to the palace until she came of age. If your highness wants to have something embroidered or make clothes, just tell me... "

Only then did Luo Qingyan realize that Qin Yi might have misunderstood what he meant. "It's just that I haven't seen shang'er doing anything like this, so I'm just asking. I don't know how shang'er looks like when she is doing embroidery." Then he laughed as if he was amused by his own words.

Qin Yi noticed that Luo Qingyan did not seem to be angry, so she quickly changed the subject, "Your Highness has not eaten anything. I'll ask someone to prepare some food."

Luo Qingyan nodded his head and said, "call me in the study when the food is ready." Then he intended to go out. But when he reached the door, he turned around and said, "wake up her highness when the food is ready. She must be hungry because she didn't even have lunch."

Qin Yi said yes, watching Luo Qingyan go out of the room, and then told the maids to get ready.

Qin Yi went into the inner room after giving orders to the maids. Her eyes lighted up when she saw the clothes scattered over the floor in front of her highness' bed. She picked them up in a hurry and put them aside. The clothes was torn a little. Qin Yi put the new clothes aside and cleaned the room again before she stood at the bed and called, "Your highness... "

Yun Shang answered softly from the bed curtain. In fact, she was awake when Luo Qingyan got up. She knew clearly that they must have heard what they had done in the daytime, as Qin Yi and other servants were waiting outside. She also knew what Qin Yi was doing when she went to clean up t

has chosen these people, we will try not to contact them in the future. She is very cautious and will arrange someone to watch around them, so be careful not to let her discover." Yun Shang smiled and ordered.

Qin Yi responded and threw the parchment into the brazier.

"The messenger in the palace just now said that after the early morning court this morning, Lady Hui was promoted." Qian Zhuo quickly told Yun Shang the news.

Yun Shang nodded her head and said, "I'm afraid the empress was unable to prevent Lady Hui from getting a promotion, so she took the initiative to find the five persons in a hurry."

"Tell madam Qiu to go to the storehouse and check if there is anything suitable in the warehouse. Then choose one gift and send it to Lady Hui and tell her that I congratulate her on her promotion." Yun Shang stood up from the couch and rubbed her aching and limp waist. "Let's take a walk in the yard. I'm still a little tired after lying here for a long time."

Qin Yi helped Yun Shang out of the inner room, and gently said, "will it be a bit inappropriate for us to do so? As for other concubines in the imperial household, we rarely send gifts to the palace when they get promoted or their birthday. But now, Youran is only a concubine, and even if she got promoted, she will still be Lady Hui."

Yun Shang held her waist and walked out, smiling, "that's why we need to send her the gift. The empress knows that Lin Youran is my person. It's unnecessary for me to avoid arousing suspicion. I can take this opportunity to let them all know that she is on my side."

"They always pay attention to Lady Hui since she is pregnant with a child of his majesty. If you meddle in it, I'm afraid..." Qin Yi was a bit worried.

"It is true that she has become the enemy of all the women in the palace when Lin Youran is pregnant. Even if some women didn't show it, it doesn't mean that they are happy. What I want is to give a warning to those who are too stupid to know who is behind her. " Yun Shang walked to the plum tree, picked a branch and smelled it. A cold smile emerged on her face.
