Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 427

As her clothes were soaked with wine, Yun Shang took an excuse to leave early. Prince Jing stood up to make an apology and left with her. They went out of the palace and went to the prince's mansion in a carriage.

"Is the wine poisoned?" Luo Qingyan squinted, with intense coldness in his eyes.

Yun Shang nodded, "that maid is really smart. I have been drinking tea before. If she has added the wine to the table very early, I would be suspicious about it. People paid close attention to Vice Minister Su and Princess Tai An at that time. She got the courage to pour the wine, probably because she saw that I didn't pay attention to my table. I was not suspicious at first, but she changed the seats of my tea cup and wine cup before pouring the wine. I was suspicious about it, so I gave you a secret signal, letting you shout so she could spill the wine. After the wine was spilled, I confirmed that the wine was really poisonous. " Just now, when the chopsticks were touched by the wine on the table, their color changed a little. All the chopsticks in the palace were made of silver.

Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's hands, frowned, and let out a sigh. "After knowing my identity, I sent some people to the state of Xia. However, the situation was not clear at that time, because those people were useless. Now that we have just started our new life here, and someone is plotting against us that we are not familiar with this place and wants to kill you. It seems that I should transfer my power to the state of Xia as soon as possible. But other people who cast greedy eyes on us will be on the alert, so we will wait at least three months. Shang'er, you'd better stay at home and pretend that you get sick during the three months. Just in case."

Yun Shang smiled and whispered to him, "But in my opinion, we don't have to be so cautious. I can see that everyone is trying to figure out what we have prepared in advance in the state of Xia from the looks on their faces today. If we are cautious and careful, we will definitely arouse suspicion of others, we might as well behave ourselves. Let them guess whether we are truly powerful or just bluffing."

Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment and nodded his head slightly, "it's up to you." Then he turned to Yun Shang and took her in his arms, whispering, "I'm afraid that the concubines and the Empress will come to bother you in the following days. You don't like social engagements. If you don't want to see them, just have someone to send them back."

Yun Shang chuckled, but she knew that she had to learn it no matter how reluctant she was. She was no longer in the state of Ning, nor was she the noble emperor's daughther anymore. Lady Rui, this title was still of high rank. But those in the palace are mothers of Luo Qingyan in name. Some of the princesses are his aunts and some are his sisters. Which of them can be easily offended by her? They had just arrived in the state of Xia, and there would be a long way ahead of them. The women in the imperial household had a complicated relationship with the previous dynasty, and they had no idea of it now.

Back home, there was quiet for two days. Yun Shang ordered the butler to assign the servants. She only needed to see the account book every day, and the other time she was reading the pamphlet of an eminent clan called the state of Xia.

With his title, Luo Qingyan got up early every day and went to the court. Yun Shang got up at that time. Two days ago, she was not used to it. In the daytime, she always yawned. Now, she had gradually got used to it. "Your ladyship, Princess Qian Ling is here." Qian Yin hurried in and said gently.

Princess Qian Ling? Yun Shang was silent for a while. Princess Qian Ling was twelve years old now. She was the daughter of Lady Yun, and the seventeenth child of Xia Huanyu. She was said to be active. She was the first person who came to visit Yun Shang after the royal banquet. She didn't know what the princess was here for.

When she was thinking, she heard a young girl shouting outside, "sis! Is my sister-in-law in the room?"

Yun Shang frowned. The princess was indeed as lively as they said. With this in mind, she handed the pamphlet to Qian Yin, and took a book from her hand. Holding the book in her hand, she said loudly, "Your Highness, please come in."

"My sister-in-law is indeed in her room." No sooner had the princess finished speaking than footsteps were heard behind her. Yun Shang looked up at the door, and saw a face in pink. Her big eyes were rolling, and she looked into the room grasping the bead curtain. When she saw Yun Shang, she released her grip on the bead curtain, took a step forward and walked to her with a smile, "What are you doing?"

Before Yun Shang could answer, Princess Qian Ling stood on tiptoe and looked at the book in Yun Shang's hand. She said with a frown, "women's rules? What's so good about women's rules? "

When Yun Shang was about to say something, Princess Qian Ling patted her head again. "Oh, sister-in-law you must not know who I am. My name is Qian Ling, and you can call me Seventeen."

Yun Shang grinned as she noticed that Princess Qian Ling didn't seem to be about to say anything. Then she turned to Qian Yin, who was standing beside, and ordered, "make a cup of fruit tea for Princess Qian Ling, and bring the cakes I made before."

Hearing this, Qian Ling's eyes lit up. "On that day in the Palace Banquet, I got sick, so my mother didn't let me go. Later, I heard from my sister that you are very beautiful, so today, my mother finally allowed me to go out of the palace. I hurriedly came here to see you. You are really so beautiful, sister-in-law. You even know that I love eating. You are so kind."
