Yun Shang turned to look at the door, and saw the seventh prince enter the room, followed by the pale faced Hua Yutong. Yun Shang frowned, and Lady Hua Guo said, "It's windy outside today, I'm afraid it's a little cold. I've asked the maid to make ginger soup for you. Yutong, fetch a bowl of soup for the seventh prince to warm him up."
Stunned for a while, Yutong nodded and left with her maids.
Lady Hua Guo asked a maid to move a chair for the seventh prince, and asked him to sit down. Yun Shang sat quietly on the chair next to him. Lady Hua Guo looked at the seventh prince indifferently and pondered for a while before saying, "It should have been his majesty and the empress who ask the questions. But his majesty and the empress are too busy everyday. I'm afraid they don't have time to ask the questions. Would you mind me asking you the questions as a senior to you?"
The seventh prince seemed surprised. He didn't look at her, but turned to Yun Shang. He thought for a while and said, "Go ahead, your ladyship."
Lady Hua Guo smiled, touched the Buddha in her hand, and said gently, "I've heard that Yutong and you haven't slept together yet since you got married?"
Yun Shang lowered her head and raised her eyebrows. She smiled as she thought to herself, 'Your ladyship, you are so smart.'
"Since I fainted in the wedding hall, my health has been not very good. I have summoned doctors to recuperate at home these days. It's still a little difficult to do that." The seventh prince's voice sounded low. No matter who he was, he would be embarrassed if he had to say that in front of others.
"Really?" Lady Hua Guo paused and turned to Yun Shang, "Shang'er, you are good at medicine. Do you have any idea how to cure the seventh prince?"
Yun Shang almost laughed out. After a while, she raised her head and thought for a while, "I think you can try nourishing food. I remembered that I've read in the book that stewing caterpillar fungus together with pork bone or mutton bone is effective. But I don't know whether it really works."
"It's not bad to have a try. Write down a prescription and give it to Yutong. Then she can cook it at home for the seventh prince." Said Lady Hua Guo indifferently.
Yun Shang noticed that the seventh prince's face flushed, but his eyes were full of anger. She said with a smile, "That's good. His majesty always thinks that there only a few royal sons. The Crown Prince died, only leaving his little son. Both Prince Rui and the seventh prince married late. Prince Qi had many concubines, but had no children. The seventh Prince is in his prime of life. If he takes good care of himself, he could many children soon."
The seventh prince fixed his eyes on Yun Shang's belly and frowned. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Yun Shang knew her words had hit him hard, so she just smiled and said nothing. After a while, it was quiet in the room. Hua Yutong came in with the ginger soup and put it in front of the seventh prince, "Please have some, your highness."
The seventh Prince nodded, picked up the bowl and drank it up. Lady Guo asked Hua Yutong to sit down. Before she said anything, the butler walked in hastily and glanced at the people in the room. Then he said, "Your ladyship, something happened in the seventh prince's mansion."
A joyful look flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
All of them looked at the butler and asked, "What happened?"
The butler quickly answered, "A servant from the seventh prince Mansion just now reported that the mansion was on fire."
"On fire? What happened?" Frowning, Lady Hua Guo stood up.
The seventh prince's face changed. He glanced at Yun Shang and saw her as shocked as others. He frowned and said, "Excuse me. Something happened here. We must go back now."
Lady Hua Guo replied, "Go ahead. The wind is too strong and I'm afraid it's hard to control."
The seventh Prince bowed to her and left the hall in a hurry. Hua Yutong also followed him quickly.
After they left, Lady Hua Guo turned to Yun Shang, "Is it done by you? Or Qingyan? "
Yun Shang smiled, squinting her eyes. "Grandma, how could you say that? I came here after lunch, and have been playing chess with the seventh prince just now. Your highness should have paid a visit to a senior general of the court. When I went out today, his highness said that a senior general he admired very much had finally returned to the Jin City, he wanted to pay a special visit to him. And who dared to blatantly set a fire in the seventh prince's mansion in daytime? Maybe it's because the servants were careless." Lady Hua Guo glared at Yun Shang. "Don't you even think you can fool me with these craps."
Yun Shang smiled and said nothing.
She chatted with Lady Hua Guo for a while and left for her mansion. The coachman came over and waited for Yun Shang to get on the carriage. Qian Zhuo took a step forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you want to go to the seventh prince's mansion?"
