Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 699

The next morning, Yun Shang and Xiao Yuanshan had breakfast together. After telling Xiao Yuanshan their plan, Yun Shang left Qin Yi in the mansion to attend to him. Then she called back Qian Zhuo to accompany them to the mansion.

The Yun mansion was to the east of Jin City, which was a short distance of four hours' drive. In addition, Qin Yi has covered the seat of the carriage with thick cotton and soft fox fur. It was comfortable to sit on it. Then Yun Shang slept all the way. They arrived at the Yuan mansion at noon.

Luo Qingyan helped Yun Shang get off the carriage, but he frowned and glanced back from time to time. Yun Shang was puzzled. She turned to look at Luo Qingyan. "What happened? Is there anyone following us?"

Luo Qingyan nodded and sneered, "They've been followed us all the way. I've been thinking whether I should send some secret guards to get rid of them."

Yun Shang smiled as she listened to Luo Qingyan's words. The displeasure was obvious in his tone. She said, "It doesn't matter if they want to follow you. Yesterday you had a quarrel with Su Qi and was forbidden by the emperor to the morning court. You went straight out of the city to this manor today. There must be someone who might think that His Majesty must have assigned you some secret mission..."

Luo Qingyan compressed his lips. Hearing Yun Shang's words, he looked at her and said, "Do you think we should ignore them?" Yun Shang smiled, "Leave them alone. If our secret guards kill them, the people behind them will convince themselves that their speculation is right. We'd better ignore them. We just relax and do what we want to do as we planned. In this way, they will be confused. Isn't it better?"

Hearing Yun Shang's words full of teasing, Luo Qingyan couldn't help laugh. He caressed Yun Shang's long hair and said, "I agree."

The servants in the mansion had been waiting for them at the gate for a long time. Seeing that the carriage stopped, they knelt down in a hurry and said, "Good day, Your Highnesses."

Luo Qingyan walked to them with Yun Shang and said in a cold voice, "Get up."

The servants who had knelt on the ground rose to his feet, and the one who was at the forefront was the steward of the Yuan mansion. The steward had introduced himself to Yun Shang before they came. His surname was Liu, and he seemed to be a trustworthy person.

Although Steward Liu occasionally went to Prince Rui's mansion to report the affairs of the mansion, he only saw the butler. It was the first time he had seen Prince Rui and Lady Rui, so he was a little nervous and bowed respectfully. "Your Highnesses, I have cleaned up the yard according to the butler's orders. The lunch is also ready. Would Your Highnesses like to have the meal first or see around the courtyard?"

Luo Qingyan did not open his mouth. Yun Shang asked softly: "You must be Steward Liu, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness. What can I do for you?" answered Steward Liu in a hurry.

Yun Shang smiled faintly, "Noting. After a long trip, I'm feeling hungry now. Show us the yard, and ask someone to send the lunch to the yard."

Steward Liu said yes in a hurry and turned around. The dozens of people behind him scattered in two sides. He bowed to Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, "Your Highnesses, please."

Yun Shang's eyes swept across the servants. They were not so courteous as those in Prince Rui's mansion. There is no master in the mansion, so they don't need to be so scared. They were more curious about Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang instead of being scared. They were observing Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang secretly with amazement in their eyes. Seeing that Yun Shang turn to look at them, they lowered their heads in a hurry.

Although it was winter, green still could be seen in the the State of Xia. Yun Shang walked through a bamboo forest behind Steward Liu, and was suddenly enlightened. There was a yard behind the bamboo forest.

There were four or five rooms in a row and the courtyard wasn't surrounded by walls. Behind the rooms, plantain were planted, and there were several trees in the courtyard. A very elegant view was standing in front of the houses.
