Yun Shang was surprised, but she immediately knew why they were here. She said in a hurry, "Please come in."
The servants at the door quickly lifted the curtain, and Lady Hua Guo and Shen Yilan came in with Yan'er.
Liu Wenan stood outside the door and bowed to Yun Shang, "The guests are here and I'll leave now."
Yun Shang nodded and waved her hand. Then she turned around and ordered the guests to be seated.
"Aunt, the Empress," called Yan'er. He ran to Yun Shang quickly and looked up at her, "Mother and Grandma said they would take me here to play with the Crown Prince. Where is he now?"
Yun Shang smiled and stroked Yan'er's head, "The Crown Prince is in the East Palace. I'll send you there to play with him."
"Great!"
Yun Shang smiled and looked up at Shen Yilan, "I'll ask someone to send Yan'er to play with Chengye for a while. Let's have a talk first and then go there to have a look afterwards."
"All right."
Shen Yilan didn't have any objection. She turned around and said to Yan'er, "Go and find your brother, Chengye. You must be obedient and don't run around. If I find out that you do not behave yourself well, I will break your legs when I go back today."
"Okay, I know," replied Yan'er impatiently, "You've said it twenty times on the way here. Twenty times!"
"You brat, how dare you say that. If you keep doing this, I won't take you here anymore. "
"Okay, okay," Yan'er answered perfunctorily. He smiled at Yun Shang again and said, "Her majesty, please send me to the Crown Prince ' place."
Yun Shang smiled and asked Pei Lan to send Yan'er to the East Palace with several servants.
After they left, Lady Hua Guo smiled and asked, "Is your majesty embroidering?"
Noticing that Lady Hua Guo was looking at the embroidery stick at her hand, Yun Shang felt shy, "Well, I have nothing to do, so I learn embroidery to kill the time. When I was in the State of Ning, I was sent out of the palace at the age of seven. I didn't go back until the time of Coming-of-age Ceremony. As no one taught me this before, I'm really not good at it and I'm still learning it. "
"Why do you like to learn this, your majesty?" Lady Hua Guo smiled, "I'm not good at it either. I've learned it for decades, but I am still not good at embroidery and my works are just so so."
Shen Yilan also nodded and said, "I don't know how to do it either. It's not bad to let me take a stick or a weapon. I feel uncomfortable when I take this thin embroidery needle, and I don't know where to put my hands or feet when I am doing this kind of work."
Yun Shang lowered her eyes and chuckled, "It seems that it has something to do with the tradition of learning."
Lady Hua Guo smiled even more brightly. "Her Former Majesty doesn't know how to embroider. As I didn't know how to do it, I specially asked an embroidery master to teach her since she was more than 10 years old, but she still didn't know how to do it. As a result, those quilts used for dowry were all embroidered by the embroidery masters. "
Three of them felt fun and laughed for a while. Yun Shang then noticed Shen Yilan's belly, which showed she was pregnant. It looked more conspicuous because of her thin clothes in such hot weather.
"What's the reaction of this pregnancy?"
"It's just a little serious." Shen Yilan sighed, "I have vomited so much that I even doubt about my own life. I felt nauseated whenever I ate something, which made me have no appetite at all. But I feel better these days. Perhaps the stage of morning sickness is about to pass."
Yun Shang smiled, "Let me feel your pulse."
Hearing this, Shen Yilan put her hand on the table and said, "Thank you, your majesty."
Yun Shang felt her pulse carefully and then said with a smile, "Nothing serious. The fetus seems to be stable."
