Yun Shang looked at her grandfather, who was stunned by Lord Hua Guo's words. She smiled and stood up while saying to them, "It's almost time for lunch. You two may fight against each other for this round. But after that, it's time to have lunch."
Lord Hua Guo waved at her and said, "Got it. Got it. You chatterbox." With that, he pulled Xiao Yuanshan's arm and asked Luo Qingyan where the martial arts performing field was. Luo Qingyan obeyed and hurriedly took them there.
Yun Shang looked at her grandpa being held tightly by Lord Hua Guo in his arm, and was worried about his poor strength. Lord Hua Guo was very strong, so her grandpa's arm might be black and blue all over. Suddenly, she realized they had planned to play chess at the beginning. Then why would they change to the martial arts performing field? Being worried, she hurried there to have a look.
Lord Hua Guo held Xiao Yuanshan's hand and ran quickly. Yun Shang and Lady Hua Guo were left behind. By the time Yun Shang and her partner arrived, both of them had already set up to start.
Yun Shang suddenly realized that the first round mentioned by Lord Hua Guo was actually a sandbox battle. Lord Hua Guo took the red small flag, and Xiao Yuanshan took the blue one.
On each flag was written all kinds of things that would be used in the battlefield, including generals, commanders, infantry, cavalry, even siege crossbows, siege shields and catapults. Lady Hua Guo laughed too. She turned around and said to Yun Shang, "Let them be. Let's go back to the yard."
Yun Shang agreed and went back to the yard with Lady Hua Guo. There were several big boxes in the outer Hall of the yard. Qin Yi was tidying up the things one by one. The boxes were open. Yun Shang saw that there were indeed many small clothes inside, all of which were very cute. She smilingly picked one up randomly and couldn't help exclaiming, "It's so beautiful."
Lady Hua Guo turned around, and saw it was a red bellyband embroidered with a little tiger.
"Did Grand Tutor Xiao bring them here?" inquired Lady Hua Guo. She looked around the room and found nine boxes there. Five of them were full of small clothes of various styles and colours, which showed that the person sending them was very considerate.
Yun Shang nodded gently. "Yes. It's my mother who prepared them. Some of them used to be worn by my brother."
"It's good for the child to wear the clothes that used to be worn by others. There is a saying that this kind of child is easy to be raised," said Lady Hua Guo smilingly, "Lady Jin loves you very much. She has done a lot of preparation for these little clothes."
Yun Shang nodded, and entered the inner chamber with Lady Hua Guo.
As soon as they sat down, Qin Yi prepared a cup of tea for each of them. Lady Hua Guo asked Yun Shang lightly, "I heard that you sent Lady Xian into the Cold Palace the other day?"
Yun Shang nodded gently and replied, "As we all know inside and outside the palace, Lady Hui came from Prince Rui's mansion. But Lady Xian still did harm to her. I should protect Lady Hui. Otherwise, she will have a hard time in the future. And it's sometimes necessary to punish someone as a warning to others in the future.
Lady Hua Guo sighed, "There are many concubines who are not favored by any power, but you just chose Lady Xian. Although in her family there is no official in the imperial court, her family is the richest in Jin City, and Wang Congwen is always on the side of her family. You have offended him too by punishing Lady Xian this time. Why should you do that? "
