Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 660

Yun Shang took a walk in the yard and then walked out of the yard. She walked slowly along the long corridor by the lake to the garden house. When she passed the garden house, she saw the servant at the gate roaring in disgust with a frown, "Go away. This is not a place for you to come. If you don't leave now, I'll hit you with the stick..."

Yun Shang stopped and walked to the door. She asked with doubt, "What's wrong? Who are you talking to?"

The doorman turned around and saw Yun Shang. He bowed to Yun Shang and said, "She is an old beggar. She has been begging at the gate of our mansion these days. Every time when you and Prince Rui came back, she avoided you. She always crouched in the corner beside the gate with a broken bowl in her hand. I don't think it's good to be seen by the people, so I wanted to drive her away, but she didn't leave, and she came back after a short while every time."

"Really?" Yun Shang heard him and walked to the door. There was indeed a beggar crouching in the corner of the wall. She was a woman. Judging from her grey hair and stoop, she must be in her fifties. In rags, she seemed to have not washed her hair for a long time. It was winter today, but she didn't wear shoes.

As if aware of Yun Shang's gaze, the beggar turned around and glanced at her. Then he shrank back and leaned against the corner of the wall.

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and said, "It's the New Year. Give her some food and a quilt. Don't need to drive her away." The servant kept nodding and answered with courtesy. Then Yun Shang turned around and walked back to the mansion. She was about to go back to the inner yard. The servant standing behind him whispered: "you are lucky to meet a good person like her highness."

"It's indeed indecent for a beggar to squat at the door. Besides, if others see her, they will say that your highnesses are merciless and won't help a beggar." Qin Yi said gently after looking back at the gate.

Yun Shang nodded, "I know. But I'm sure I can't let a stranger come into our mansion."

"It's indeed not right to take her into our mansion. And it's suspicious that she begs in front of our mansion and doesn't leave even we drive her away. If we can't take her into our mansion, we could think about other ways. We have several vacant mansions in the suburbs and we could ask the butler to send the beggar to one of them. Even if there is something wrong with the beggar, she could not make any trouble. " Qin Yi thought for a while and said slowly.

"That sounds a good idea." Yun Shang smiled and said, "Do it as you said. Tell the butler later."

Qin Yi hurriedly responded. The two of them walked through the garden house again. Yun Shang looked at the fork in front of her and thought for a while. Then she said: "I seldom go to the right way. I heard that the former crown prince and his wife lived in the yard here when it was the crown prince's mansion. The yard where we live now was their guest yard back then. Let's have a look. The yard they live was extreme exquisite."

Yun Shang was in a rare good mood today. Since Qin Yi thought that it would be better for her to walk more often and make it easier for her to give birth to the baby. Thus, she didn't stop her and followed her to the right side. Walking through a long corridor and a few pavilions, she saw a three-story building near the lake, written with a Fengbo Pavilion which meant storm. Yun Shang smiled and said, "This is where the former crown prince lived. Fengbo Pavilion, interesting. All the other crown princes want everything to go smoothly and be the emperor smoothly, but he named his residence Fengbo Pavilion."

Yun Shang climbed up the wooden stairs. There was a viewing pavilion on the third floor. Standing on the pavilion, she could have a good view of the whole mansion.

"This's a good place," Yun Shang smiled and took a deep breath.

Qin Yi smiled, "Your Highness, you love it so much. Why don't we move here?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "I just want to have a look and won't move here. It's ominous to live in a place where a dead person used to live."

"Your Highness, since when you become a superstitious person?" Qin Yi couldn't help laughing.

"Where is it?" Suddenly, Yun Shang pointed at a yard on the right. It was not a small yard, in which several servants standing and grimacing as if they were arguing about something. Yun Shang saw something white beside their feet.

Qin Yi looked at the direction Yun Shang pointed. She pondered for a while and said, "If my memory serves me right, it was the yard where the former crown prince's wife used to live."

"The former crown prince's wife?" Yun Shang murmured. She looked at them and said, "I guess they must be servants in our mansion. But why are they in that yard now?" Qin Yi didn't know, and Yun Shang didn't seem to want any answer from her either, so she said, "Let's go and have a look."

Before Qin Yi could say anything, Yun Shang went downstairs in a hurry. Qin Yi caught up with her in a hurry, "Slow down, your highness."
