Yun Shang lowered her head to conceal the coldness in her eyes, and walked out of the yard with a smile. Yun Shang's yard was a little far from this one. She looked up and guessed that the rain would fall before she arrived at her yard.
Yun Shang nodded to Qin Yi with a smile before Qin Yi withdrew quietly. Some ladies saw that and didn't care as they thought Qin Yi must have left to prepare tea.
Before long, the rain did fall. An instant later, the light rain turned into a downpour. Yun Shang sighed and asked the servants to fetch umbrellas.
While the servants scrambled to find umbrellas, the ladies got soaked in the rain. Yun Shang offered blandly, "I have many spare clothes in my yard. Ladies, please get changed first. Be careful not to catch a cold."
The drenched ladies felt deeply indebted after hearing Yun Shang's words.
When they arrived at the yard, they saw Qin Yi and Qian Yin in the front Hall. They had prepared ginger soup and tea. Seeing Yun Shang and the ladies, Qin Yi immediately walked to the door to receive them, "Ladies, we have prepared clean clothes for you. Please follow me to get changed."
The ladies nodded and followed Qin Yi to the backyard, while Yun Shang went to the bedroom with Qian Yin.
Qian Yin took out a white dress and helped Yun Shang change out of her wet one. When she was about to comb Yun Shang's hair, she was shocked as she didn't see the hairpin. Qian Yin immediately asked, "Your Highness, where is your hairpin?"
Yun Shang smiled nonchalantly, "I gave it to Ruyu as a gift."
Qian Yin remained speechless for a long time before she said, "Your Highness, it is your hairpin. Besides, the hairpin is matched with your ceremonial dress and made according to your official rank. Even if you gave it to Lady Wen as a gift, she dare not wear it in public. She would be in big trouble if someone else saw her wearing it."
Yun Shang raised her brows, "I would be happy if she were in trouble."
Hearing Yun Shang's reply, Qian Yin knew the Princess must have a plan, and said no more. In Qian Yin's mind, her Mistress had many reliable ideas. Now that her Mistress had given her hairpin to Lady Wen, she wondered whether Lady Wen would be safe.
Qian Yin made Yun Shang a simple hairstyle by tying her hair with a hair band.
Yun Shang was very satisfied with her hairstyle and she giggled, "I like this hairstyle, as it's simple. Qian Yin, I'd like to have this hairstyle from now on. I don't like those complicated ones."
