Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 687

Yun Shang nodded and thought for a while. "I'm afraid the method I discussed with grandmother to plot against the seventh prince has to be taken earlier. I have some candidates, some girls who has been trained for being sent into the imperial palace. I'm afraid Hua Yutong is so innocent that she might fall in love with the seventh prince."

Lady Hua Guo shook her hand, "You don't need to worry about that. Even she is innocent, she knows very well that she shouldn't fall in love with the seventh prince. She is outgoing and could easily get on well with others, but she has self-control. But I think it's a good idea to take action earlier. Then we don't have to worry about it."

After they talked for a while, a servant knocked on the door. "Your Highness, His Highness asked me to invite you to the garden house."

Yun Shang stood up with a smile, "I'm afraid grandpas have already finished a round. Let's go to the garden house for dinner." Then she asked Qin Yi to order the maids to serve dishes.

Lord Hua Guo and his wife left after dinner. Yun Shang wanted to have a good talk with Xiao Yuanshan, but Luo Qingyan rejected her. "Grand tutor must be exhausted with the long journey. Let him have a good rest today."

Xiao Yuanshan nodded with a smile. "I will stay in the State of Xia for a while. I have plenty of time."

Although Yun Shang was reluctant, she had to agree. She took Xiao Yuanshan to the guest house and went back to the yard with Luo Qingyan. Back in the yard, Yun Shang lied down on the soft couch. She looked at Luo Qingyan, who went straight to the desk, and smiled, "Who won just now?"

Hearing that, Luo Qingyan smiled. "Of course your husband is the winner."

"You are shameless! How could you contend for the winner with two seniors?" Yun Shang reprimanded him with a smile.

Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile. "My lady, you are wrong. There is no father and son in this battlefield. Whether the two armies are close or not, their only purpose is to win."

Yun Shang thought for a while and asked, "You have known matter of the State of Yelang, haven't you?"

"What?" Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang and smiled. Then he nodded, "Well, maybe I knew it earlier than His Majesty. Is it Lady Hua Guo who told you about it?"

Yun Shang nodded and sighed. "You'd better be kind to Lord Hua Guo in the future. Grandfather has done a lot for us. As an old man who should live a peaceful life, he has to lead the army to fight. You know Cangjue Qingsu the best. He is a scheming and vicious man. I am a little worried."

Luo Qingyan opened a book randomly and looked down at it. Then he said, "Yes, but Lord Hua Guo is not bad. His Majesty has appointed Liu Yinfeng as his military counsellor. Although I don't like Liu Yingfeng because he is coveting you, I have to admit that he is a cunning fox during the battle. Lord Hua Guo is brave and Liu Yinfeng is resourceful. It's enough for them to fight against Cangjue Qingsu together."

Liu Yinfeng? Yun Shang didn't know Liu Yinfeng was also coming to the battlefield with Lord Hua Guo, but hearing Luo Qingyan's words, she felt relieved. Luo Qingyan seemed to understand what Yun Shang was thinking. He raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of disdain, "Liu Yinfeng is talented, but when it comes to romance, it's a little hard to like him. It was said that he fell in love with Lady Liu, who was more than ten years older than him. At that time, Lady Liu was the concubine of the Emperor. After Lady Liu died, he had been sad for many years. Unexpectedly, the next woman he has fallen in love with is still a married one. I don't want to expose him, but the one he admires is my wife."

Yun Shang could feel anger in his tone. She walked to him, smiling, and said, "Your Highness used to be adored by many girls, and all of them just ignored my existence. Shouldn't I be angrier? "

Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I think you handle them well."

Yun Shang snorted and lay down on the bench to have a rest. Soon she fell asleep.

After dinner, Xiao Yuanshan returned to the yard. Luo Qingyan smiled to Yun Shang, "Do you want to go out and see the lanterns? I heard there are dragon dance and lantern riddles. There are a lot of prizes for guessing the riddles. Do you want to see if there is anything you like?"

Yun Shang agreed with a smile as she saw Luo Qingyan was in a rare good mood. As a matter of fact, they seldom went out for fun like this.

Qin Yi put a cloak on Yun Shang. Then Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang out of the house. When they reached the door, the carriage had been ready. Luo Qingyan turned around and was about to help Yun Shang get on the carriage. But Yun Shang shook her head and smiled. "Since it's Lantern Festival, there must be many people. I'm afraid the carriage will be difficult to move an inch. Let's just walk there." Luo Qingyan frowned and looked at Yun Shang's belly hesitantly. "I heard that Lantern Festival is the most popular festival. There are many people on the street. I'm afraid someone might hurt you."

Yun Shang smiled, "I'm not worried at all. As long as you stand there, there will be no one approaching us."
