Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 546

Yun Shang was quite busy these days. She would change into different styles of clothes and jewelry every day. She took a seat at the Xiang Zhu Palace and sometimes she even went to the Wei Yang Palace. And she met lady Shu once in a while when she went to the Wei Yang palace occasionally. Yun Shang had a resplendent and magnificent life in the imperial household now, even the empress paid attention to her.

"The clothes you've been wearing these days are good-looking with nice style and good jewelry. This morning when the concubines came to greet me, I heard them talk about you in the inner hall after I got dressed." The empress took a sip of rose tea and glanced at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang hurriedly answered, "I'm just wearing ordinary clothes from the stores outside the palace, which cannot be compared with the clothes carefully prepared by the imperial household department. But the ladies have been used to the dignified and noble style in the palace, so sometimes they'll feel fresh to see my crude clothes. When you have been used to eating fish and meat, and it feels good to occasionally replace the meat with clear soup and vegetables."

The empress took the hint. She nodded her head, "how is the thing I ordered you to do?"

"It's all settled." Then she took out a piece of paper bag from her sleeve and handed it to the empress. "I have seen many different kinds of medicine. Although they are all of the same efficacy, this one is the most startling, colorless and tasteless. Besides, the efficacy is not so fast. It is also convenient for the empress to make arrangement." The empress nodded and put it down. She said with a smile, "you're also a person who knows medicine well. Of course you're right about it."

Yun Shang flashed a smile, but soon regained her composure. "But all the stuff at his Majesty's meal has been tested by servants. And..."

"Don't worry." The empress sneered, "if it's a poison, the eunuch can get it out of shape after trying it. But he's not a full man, and he's unable to feel it. Besides, as you said, the drug works slow."

Yun Shang nodded her head, with coldness in her eyes.

"If you succeed, you can avenge yourself soon." The empress looked at Yun Shang and smiled.

Yun Shang nodded. "Thank you very much, your majesty."

The empress was really quick in every move. Early the next morning, Yun Shang heard Qian Yin say, "she is Lady Qing now, that miss Qing Ming. The empress made an imperial edict for her to be awarded a concubine."

Yun Shang looked at herself in the mirror, and saw Qian Liu drawing Yun Shang's brows.

Yun Shang smiled, "although the rank is not very high, it has finally been the wish of her and the empress. They are at least concubines, and she can stay in the imperial household fair and square."

"How about this, your highness?" Qian Liu stepped back and asked Yun Shang.

Yun Shang turned to her and nodded her head, "good."

Qian Liu put down the eyebrow brush and picked up the comb, walking to Yun Shang's back. Yun Shang looked at her face in the bronze mirror, which was a little vague. She lowered her head and adjusted her sleeves. There was a somewhat sarcastic smile on her lips. "Qing Ming thought this imperial household was a good place for rich and powerful people. But she doesn't know that the imperial palace is a place where real murder can't be concluded."

Qian Yin remained silent for a while before she continued, "I've heard that the emperor was losing his temper this morning. He didn't ask the matter in detail because he was in a hurry to be in the morning court. I'm afraid after he left the court..."

Yun Shang's hands paused a little. She looked into the mirror again, and pondered for a moment before she said, "don't put any blush on my face after the makeup."

Qian Liu went blank for a moment. She hesitated for a while and said: "but you don't look energetic if I do so."
