After watching the two people walk out of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, Empress Hua turned around, took the hibiscus flower from her head and handed it to Bao'er before saying, "After Qingyan was conferred the title of the Crown Prince, many officials in the court have targeted the position as his concubines. I don't like people with a group of concubines, and I don't want Qingyan to become such a person. When His Majesty asked my opinion a few days ago, I refused..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows slightly and lowered her eyes without saying anything. A bitter smile appeared on her face.
After a pause, Empress Hua sighed and continued, "But there must be many women who try every means to climb onto Qingyan's bed. You..."
Yun Shang looked up and smiled gently, "I believe in Qingyan."
Empress Hua fixed her eyes on Yun Shang. After a long time, she continued, "I know you two love each other very much. But for most women, once they get married, they will go around their husbands. Once her husband has someone else around him, she will have to bear loneliness." For men, there were all kinds of women around him. He could marry a woman for love. But love is not the only thing in men's world. There are also power, profit..."
Yun Shang's eyes twinkled with determination. "As you said, that's just for most women, not all."
Empress Hua kept silent for a moment. "I remind you of this because His Majesty has mentioned it two or three times in front of me recently. I said that you had just given birth to Chengye for Qingyan. It was really not appropriate for Qingyan to marry a concubine at this time. But if His Majesty brought it up after some time, I really couldn't find any other excuse."
Empress Hua looked at Yun Shang, "You are a princess of the State of Ning, but you have no advantage in status in the State of Xia. But I think you can use Emperor Ning to warn Xia Huanyu. After all, although the State of Ning is an alliance of the State of Xia, there are more than two countries in the world."
Yun Shang's eyes lit up.
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
Bao'er on the back and asked coldly, "Is Her Highness at home?"
The doorman answered in a low voice, "Yes. Your Highness."
Yun Shang said indifferently, "Go inform Her Highness that I'm here to visit her."
The doorman seemed to be shocked by Yun Shang's expression. He answered yes and entered the mansion in a hurry.
Qin Yi walked to Yun Shang and said softly, "Let me hold the little prince."
Yun Shang shook her head and smiled, "No need. Bao'er is still young and not heavy. I can do it myself."
Yun Shang stood at the door for a long time before she saw Hua Yutong come in person. She must have cried so hard last night that her eyes were a little red. And Yun Shang also saw the shock in her eyes.
Yun Shang pretended not to notice it and said indifferently, "Your Highness, don't you welcome me?"
Yun Shang had never talked to Hua Yutong in such a tone before. Hua Yutong was stunned and then quickly said, "How could I? Your Highness Crown Princess, you worry too much." After explaining hurriedly, she stepped aside and said softly, "Please come in, Your Highness."
Yun Shang walked into the Seventh Prince's Mansion slowly with Bao'er in her arms.
Hua Yutong didn't lead Yun Shang to the yard she lived, but to the garden house. With a cold smile, Yun Shang looked up at the furnishings in the garden house and sat down slowly after a long time.
