Hearing this, Yun Shang knocked on the edge of the couch and asked, "Do you know the identity of the person who went to the play with the seventh princess?"
Qian Yin nodded slightly, "It's said that he is the cousin of the seventh princess. The seventh princess' mother was not from the Jin City, but it was a famous family in the local area. It seems that the cousin of the seventh princess has close relationship with the seventh princess since childhood. This time, his cousin came to the Jin City to participate in the imperial examination. "
Yun Shang frowned. Hua Yutong was a pawn in Lord Hua Guo's mansion to pin down the seventh prince. She knew that Hua Yutong had suffered a lot since she lived in the seventh prince' Mansion.
However, Hua Yutong shouldn't have made such a rumor at this time.
Yun Shang turned around and said to Qin Yi, "Send my invitation to the seventh prince' mansion later. Tell them that I will invite the seventh princess to visit Lord Hua Guo's wife tomorrow."
Qin Yi nodded and understood what Yun Shang was going to do. She thought for a while, raised her hand and poured a cup of tea for Yun Shang. Then she said in a low voice, "I think it is not so good for your highness to ask the seventh princess about this matter in front of Lady Hua Guo, nor is it good for Lady Hua Guo to ask her directly. It was Lady Hua Guo who sent the seventh princess to the the seventh prince. If we are careless and let the seventh princess feel that Lord Hua Guo's wife has been watching her, I'm afraid that the seven princesses will be on guard against her. "
Yun Shang frowned and thought for a while. Then she nodded slightly and said, "It's highly possible. What should we do according to Qin Yi's idea?"
Qin Yi thought for a while and then said with a smile, "I wonder which opera house the seventh princess often goes to? It seems that your Highness has never been to the opera house to listen to any drama. "
Yun Shang went blank for a while, and then came back to her senses. She smiled and said, "Since Hua Yutong likes that place, I think they must have a good performance there." Then Yun Shang turned to look at Qian Yin and ordered in a low voice, "Go and ask which opera house she often goes to and what kind of play she will listen to when she goes there. If there is a play tomorrow, please book a seat for me. "
Qian Yin replied in a hurry, "I see. I'll go to inquire about it for your highness about it.
After Qian Yin left, the sky gradually darkened. After dinner, Yun Shang took Qin Yi and Qian Yin for a walk around the lake. Because of the tragedy in Prince Rui's mansion that day, the surrouding was much quieter. Yun Shang didn't want to go further, so she sat down in the Pavilion by the lake to have a rest.
"Our mansion must be most deserted among the royal and aristocratic families in Jin City," commented Yun Shang smilingly.
There was a breeze by the lake. Qin Yi put a cloak on Yun Shang and said with a smile, "Being deserted also has its advantage. There are not so many rumors around."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and said with a smile, "After seeing the farce in the Imperial Palace, I feel much better in our quiet mansio
smile and sat down. Lady Hua Guo asked softly, "Are you all right? Is Qingyan okay? "
Yun Shang nodded slightly and got close to Lady Hua Guo, "Has Grandfather gone to Cangnan? Qingyan went there a few days ago when the Palace said that I was missing. I was about to go, but I was stopped by something and came back."
"You are pregnant now, but you still want to go to the battlefield. It's not safe, my dear Ling'er..." Lady Hua Guo sighed, waved her hand, and changed the topic. "Did you really catch the Eldest Princess?"
It was not until Yun Shang heard Lady Hua Guo mention the Empress Hua that she realized that the Empress Hua went to the battlefield when she was pregnant with Prince Rui. Then something happened.
Knowing that Lady Hua Guo didn't want to mention her sadness, Yun Shang said, "Yes, I did. The Eldest Princess was too ambitious. She even wanted to seize the opportunity to get the throne when the seventh prince and Qingyan were not in the Jin City. His majesty pretended to be innocent, but his heart is clear. How could the Eldest Princess not be defeated? "
Lady Hua Guo smiled, "Don't take his majesty as a fool. So many years has passed, When he was a prince, he knew how to pretend to be weak and forcibly seize the throne. After he took over the throne, the Su mansion have been restraining him. His majesty seems to be tolerating them step by step, but in secret, he has nibbled many forces of the Su mansion, so the Su mansion cannot last long. When Ling'er was the Empress, I persuaded his highness to find an opportunity to hand over his power, in case of getting into trouble. "
"At that time, I still didn't understand. Because at that time, Xia Huanyu looked really gentle and elegant. Others said that he ascended the throne depending on luck. Over the years, I have seen clearly that his majesty is not simpleminded, but he can endure many things. " Lady Hua Guo smiled, but a hint of cruelty flashed through her eyes. "After ling'er died, I've always wanted to see how the Su mansion died. I have always suspected that the accident of Ling'er has something to do with the Su mansion. "
