An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1150 Compromise And Approval

Thinking of this, Yun Shang asked again, "When did Lady Lian send these things here? Did she ask

someone to send them here or in person? "

There were a lot of people coming to deliver the gifts today, but the gift from Lady Lian was so special

that Hua'er was deeply impressed, so she replied, "About an hour ago, it was lady Lian who sent it here

in person. She also told me that she specially sent someone to ask the Master of the Qinglian Temple

to personally forge and consecrate it. It must be very efficacious."

Yun Shang closed the pamphlet and sneered. Two hours ago, it was the time after she and Luo

Qingyan left the Changting Garden.

After they left, the secret guards must have dealt with those who stood behind Xia Houjing, and let the

others go. Then Lady Lian returned to her palace, took her gift and sent it to the Jinxiu Palace.

Yun Shang's look was cold and penetrating. She had thought that Lady Lian had made a lot of

mistakes in front of her before, and that she must be a spy placed by Xia Houjing in the imperial

household.

But she didn't expect Lady Lian to be so interesting.

In the Changting Garden, she should have clearly seen that Xia Houjing had an absolute advantage,

but she remained unmoved when Xia Houjing asked his men to stand out.

She had witnessed that the secret guards had dealt with Xia Houjing's supporters in the palace, but

she was still able to return to her own palace without fear and send her gifts.

She was not giving her an ordinary gift, but a very meaningful and sensitive one.

Wasn't she afraid that Yun Shang would kill her in anger?

Of course, Lady Lian was not afraid.

No matter what, Yun Shang had never admitted that she was infertile.

If it was true that because Lady Lian sent her a statue of Guanyin, the goddess of sending children,

Yun Shang would be angry and get rid of one of the imperial concubines. She would seem to be trying

to cover up something.

"Your Majesty, should this gift be dealt with differently?" Hua'er asked cautiously.

Yun Shang smiled and casually put the pamphlet aside saying, "No need. It's just a gift. Just deal with it

in the usual way. I haven seldom touched those gifts anyway. I'm afraid they will be only kept in the

storehouse.

Besides, there are so many people outside who are mocking me that I can't have another baby any

more. If I want to be angry, I'm afraid I will never be able to get out of it. "

Hua'er nodded, "Then... are you going to send someone to keep an eye on Lady Lian? "

Yun Shang shook her head, "No. Thanks."

Lady Lian must have known that she had been exposed herself since the fire in the Weiyang Palace

yesterday. She didn't stand by Xia Houjing's side today, so she had saved her life. Although she

mocked Yun Shang secretly with the gift of the statue of Guanyin, she probably only dared to laugh at

her in this way.

Now that she knew the fact about her situation, she must be clear that no matter what she did, she was

under Yun Shang's watch, and Yun Shang would never trust her again. Therefore, at least for a short

time, Lady Lian had to be quiet.

Yun Shang didn't say anything further. Hua'er stood aside, waiting for orders. Yun Shang slowly took a

gift box from the table and opened it.

The gift was from the old empress. It was a set of jewelry made of blood jade. The color was bright red

and the workmanship was very exquisite. It was a rare treasure.

His Former Majesty's gift was a set of chessboard and chess pieces made of first-class jade. The color

was warm, and the sound was crisp and pleasant.

These two gifts were made of excellent materials and workmanship. It was normal for the old empress

to give her a gift, and it was beyond her expectation that His Former Majesty would also send her such

a gift.

His Former Majesty seemed to have some prejudice against her and disliked her all the time.

At first, it seemed that it was because of her identity. Later, it was because of her health and Chengye.

Although this gift was precious, it was not unique. However, the seemed to contain some special

meaning inside: the compromise and approval to Yun Shang from Xia Huanyu.

Yun Shang had been with Luo Qingyan from the State of Ning to the State of Xia for a long time. She

had waited for this compromise and approval from Xia Huanyu for a long time, from a princess to the

Crown Princess and at last to the present Empress.

Although it didn't seem to have much impact on Yun Shang whether Xia Huanyu accepted her or not, it

would be the best if she could get the approval of Xia Huanyu, who was Luo Qingyan's father by blood.

Yun Shang smiled and ordered Hua'er, "Show me this chessboard and the chess pieces. I haven't

played chess with his majesty for a long time. When his majesty comes back, I'd like to play a round

with him."

"Yes, your majesty." Hua'er took the gift box, found a table, and carefully laid out the chessboard and

chess pieces on it.

"Put the jewelry box aside so that I can wear it on any formal occasions in the future," added Yun

Shang.

"Your Majesty, General Zhao is here,"

a message came from outside. Yun Shang stood up and left the bedroom.

A servant led Zhao Yingjie in. Zhao Yingjie hadn't taken off his armor yet. He quickly walked to the hall

and knelt down, "Greetings, your majesty."

Yun Shang held Zhao Yingjie's arm with a smile and helped him up, "Please rise, General Zhao.

I haven't seen General Zhao for a long time. Is everything okay?" Yun Shang said and sat down on a

chair.

"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, your majesty."

Yun Shang nodded, "That's good. How is it going at the frontier?" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"It has been peaceful for the time being since Cangjue Qingsu withdrew his troops. But there are still

some soldiers of the the State of Yelang moving around in the border area, and some disguised as

ordinary people sneaking into the border city, as if they are seeking information.

I have caught some of them, but I can't get any information from the interrogation."

Yun Shang was not surprised at all, "People like Cangjue Qingsu are always ambitious. He will not

reconcile himself to failure. Although he lost this time, he will not give up easily. He will come back

when the right time is found. "

Zhao Yingjie nodded, "That's also what I think, so I want to go back to the frontier when the Jin City is a

little stable."

"You don't have to be in such a hurry." Yun Shang smiled, "I don't think we need to worry too much this

winter. Most of the places in the the State of Yelang is grassland. Their biggest advantage in war is

their strong horses and soldiers. They are very powerful.

It's just because it is in winter, the grass on the grassland has withered, and there is a lack of food. In

addition, it is cold in the north, and neither the horses nor the people are in a good condition. It's really

asking for trouble for them to fight with us now."

Zhao Yingjie thought for a while and praised, "Your Majesty, you are right."
