The butler answered and left. Yun Shang frowned. "It's just been the third day after she came back to the Jin city. And it's already late in the afternoon. What does she come for?" Then she fetched the robe of Luo Qingyan and put it on him.
Luo Qingyan smiled and looked down at Yun Shang. Tor us, she's indeed in a hurry, but maybe for her, she's been waiting for a long time. If she is really targeting the throne as Wang Jinhuan said, then I am also a thorn in her side. I'm afraid she has been keeping an eye on me from the moment I returned to the State of Xia. She hasn't come to me until now. It's really a long time for her."
Yun Shang thought for a while and agreed with him. She smiled, "seems that she is really good at endurance."
After helping Luo Qingyan get changed, Yun Shang asked Qian Liu to get in the room and dress her. She chose a willow green dress and a long lunar white robe. Then she went to the flower hall with Luo Qingyan.
In the garden, there sat a lady dressed in a purple dress. She must be the Eldest Princess. Unlike other princesses Yun Shang had seen, her clothes and hair accessories look very simple. But even so, her noble temperament couldn't be concealed. Although she was over 50 years old, she looked like a lady under 40. If she was not the only one sitting in the flower hall, Yun Shang would not recognize her.
After Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang entered the flower room together, the woman put down her teacup and looked at them with a warm smile. Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang stepped forward and bowed to the Eldest Princess, "Your Highness."
Hearing this, the Eldest Princess stood up immediately and lifted them up. "You don't need to be so polite and formal. Just call me aunt." She then stood still and looked them up and down with a smile before she continued, "When I was in the Palace of Buddha, I heard that His Majesty has found the Eldest Prince who is handsome and talented in both literature and martial arts. Now that I meet you, I know you really are. And your wife and you really make a perfect couple." Her voice was gentle, and she seemed not supercilious.
"Your Highness, thank you for your praise." Yun Shang smiled and said.
The Eldest Princess smiled and said, "You don't have to be so restrained in front of me. You are the hosts. Let's sit down and talk."
Luo Qingyan said yes, led Yun Shang to the chair and then sat down next to her. Yun Shang turned and smiled at Luo Qingyan.
Their every move was noticed by the Eldest Princess. She sighed slightly and said, "Look at you, you're so in love with each other. It reminds me of the past when Empress Hua was still alive. We had been good friends since childhood. Now seeing you are being so excellent, Ling'er could rest peaceful in heaven. When I meet her after I died, I could tell her the good news."
Yun Shang saw a touch of cruelty in Luo Qingyan's eyes, so she quickly held his hand. Luo Qingyan smiled at Yun Shang and turned to look at the Eldest Princess, "Really? Your Highness knows my mother? "
The Eldest Princess thought Luo Qingyan had swallowed the bait. Her smile grew brighter. "Yes, I was a good friend of Ling'er. And we once said we could become relatives if our future children marry each other when they grew up. Unfortunately, my husband died young. I've seen through the vanity of the world and entered Buddhist orders. I was so happy when I heard the Emperor had found you, but I couldn't come back because I was praying in the Palace of Buddha then. As soon as I got back to the Jin City, I came to see you after a short break."
Luo Qingyan smiled, "I'm sorry, aunt. I should have visited you, but I was grounded by my father a few days ago."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. It seemed Luo Qingyan was not bad at hiding his feelings. He even called her aunt.
Hearing this, the Eldest Princess smiled with great joy. She said, "I've heard about it. Your father is too strict, but he has a soft heart. I'll plead with the Emperor for you when I go to the Imperial Palace later. The weather is so good recently. How could you be confined here all day?"
"Thank you, auntie." Luo Qingyan also smiled slightly. "By the way, I have never ever seen my mother. Since you know her well, could you tell me something about her?"
Hearing this, the eldest princess immediately nodded and said, "of course. Your mother was very naughty when she was a child. At that time, Lord Hua Guo was a general. Ling'er was also taught to be a girl who only knew how to wield and struck swords. She was a little overlord in the Jin City. She often smashed some stores and beat other kids with her brothers. When she was a little older, Lady Hua Guo sent her to study the Four Arts with the Grand Tutor, intending to cultivate Ling'er into a lady."
