Yun Shang hesitated, and the Emperor Ning noticed something was wrong. He stepped forward and asked, "Mister Liu, has His Former Majesty returned to the palace? I've been here from Ningguo for quite some time. As His Former Majesty was not in the palace, I haven't had a chance to have a good chat with him. I happen to be here now, so I want to visit this old friend. "
Yun Shang suddenly realized why Xia Huanyu called her in the name of Hua Ling. He must be on guard against Emperor Ning. If Xia Huanyu called her in his own name, Emperor Ning would certainly go with her. In that case, even if he wanted to do something to Yun Shang, he wouldn't dare to do it easily because of the presence of Emperor Ning. But in the name of Hua Ling, it was different. Hua Ling was a female member of the palace after all. It was inappropriate for Emperor Ning to visit her, so that Emperor Ning would not go with Yun Shang
However, Emperor Ning's words helped Yun Shang solve the crisis. She wanted to see how Liu Wenan would answer. Xia Huanyu must have returned to the palace. If Liu Wenan told the truth, Emperor Ning could go with her. If Liu Wenan didn't tell the truth, she would have a way to deal with it.
Although she was not afraid of Xia Huanyu, she didn't want to be so unprepared.
Hearing this, Liu Wenan was slightly stunned, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Oh, I really don't know. But before I came here, His Former Majesty was discussing government affairs with his Majesty in the Meeting Hall, but I don't know if he is still there. Your majesty, why don't you stay here for a while? I'll go and inquire about it. And I'll call you back later. What do you think? "
'A crafty old fox, ' Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and sighed in her heart, but she didn't show any trace on her face. She smiled and said, "Father, please sit here for a moment, but Mother can go to the Taihe Palace with me."
Hearing this, Lady Jin also stood up and said with a smile, "Shang'er is right. I should go to pay respects to the old empress."
Yun Shang responded with a smile. Then she turned around and ordered Qian Zhuo, "Bring the Prince here. Her former majesty has been away from the palace for more than half a year. I'm afraid she misses Chengye very much since she hasn't seen him for such a long time."
A hint of astonishment flashed through Liu Wenan's eyes when he saw this. Then he lowered his head and stood aside silently, letting Yun Shang get everything ready there..
Hua'er soon took Bao'er in her arms and put on a cloak for him. He looked very happy. Yun Shang touched Bao'er's head and smiled, "Your grandparents are back. Let's go and visit them."
Bao'er rolled his eyes at Yun Shang, blinked and lowered his head.
Yun Shang left Qian Liu and Pei Lan to take care of Emperor Ning, and left the Weiyang Palace with Shu Jin and Bao'er. As soon as they walked out of the gate of the Weiyang Palace, Yun Shang looked up at Liu Wenan and said, "Mister Liu, you don't need to follow me. Go and help my father check if His Former Majesty is still in the Meeting Hall."
Getting Yun Shang's order, Liu Wenan quickly responded and stopped. He didn't tu
grown up like this."
Yun Shang replied with a smile, "Yes. Children grow faster."
Hua Ling put Bao'er on the ground and coaxed in a soft voice, "Come on, Bao'er. Take two steps to show Grandma."
Bao'er held Hua Ling's hand and stood on the ground with a smile. He turned around and glanced at Yun Shang. Then he ran towards Yun Shang with his short legs and held Yun Shang's legs. Yun Shang squatted down with a smile and pointed at Hua Ling, "Bao'er, go to Grandma."
Then Bao'er turned to look at Hua Ling with confusion in his eyes. After a while, he giggled, but didn't go forward to Hua Ling as Yun Shang said.
Xia Huanyu stood aside and watched them quietly. After a long time, he asked, "Can he speak now?"
Yun Shang shook her head with a smile and replied softly, "Not yet."
Xia Huanyu sneered. But before he was about to say something, Hua Ling replied, "Boys should be a little late to begin to speak."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and said smilingly, "Yes. Many people say so."
Shu Jin also took over the topic and said with a smile, "My Chenxi hasn't started to speak until he was almost two years old. Now he is like a chatterbox and doesn't want to be quiet for a moment. Shang'er could speak much earlier. She was able to call Mother before she was one year old. "
Hua Ling stood up, walked to Yun Shang's side, squatted down, and looked at Chengye saying, "Chengye, good boy. Come to Grandma. Grandma will give you delicious food."
Chengye turned to look at Hua Ling and fell into her arms.
It seemed that Xia Huanyu couldn't sit still any longer. He glanced at Yun Shang and said indifferently, "I haven't played chess with the Empress for a long time. I heard that the Empress has become better at chess. Lady Jin, please talk with the old empress for a while. The Empress can play chess with me." With that, he stood up and went to the study.
Shu Jin paused and turned to Yun Shang. Yun Shang smiled and said, "Hua'er, stay here to take care of the Prince. Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo will go with me."
They three responded. And Yun Shang followed Xia Huanyu to the study.
