Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 739

Seeing that the Empress' hand on the maid's arm clenching tighter, Yun Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. Lady Shu was really restless. Even in this situation, she didn't forget to provoke the Empress, making the Empress have a grudge against her.

Yun Shang looked up at Lady Shu, who was wearing a calm face. She smiled and said, "Lady Shu, you must have suffered a lot these days. It was the Wanshou Festival a few days ago. And this year, Her Majesty has to run it alone without anyone to assist as Lady Xiang and Lady Hui have been pregnant, which delayed the time to send rewards to Lady Shu and Lady Xian."

As soon as Yun Shang said this, the Empress understood her intention at once. With a smile on her face, she said, "Yes, as three blessings have descended upon, His Majesty has issued an imperial edict to hold a grand ceremony. We've been so busy with it that we neglected you. Someone, bring the gift up."

Yun Shang's eyes were fixed on Lady Shu, and she could even see the slightest change on her face. Lady Shu turned pale at once. Her hands trembled slightly, and she sneered, "What a good news! I'm honored, it's hard for His Majesty to remember me in such a situation."

Lady Shu wanted to piss the Empress off. She wanted to tell the Empress that even if Lady Xiang and Lady Hui were pregnant, Xia Huanyu still remembered to give her a reward.

Obviously, the Empress was also not easy to get along with. She smiled and said, "You can't blame His Majesty. He was so busy these two days. If it weren't for Shang'er's reminder, I would have forgotten it."

Although the Empress mentioned her, Yun Shang just stood there with a smile and looked around secretly.

Lowering her head, Lady Shu didn't say anything, and the blue veins on her hands bulged.

"We've been here for a while. Where is Lady Xian?" The Empress glanced around and said indifferently with a bit of disgust in her eyes.

Lady Shu still didn't raise her head. She just replied casually, "Lady Xian is lying inside. It has been raining for two days and she caught a cold and felt dizzy."

"I see." The Empress waved the brocade handkerchief in her hand indifferently. "Then have a rest. I won't go in. Lady Rui is also pregnant. Let's go first, in case we get sick."

Yun Shang hurriedly responded and helped the Empress out of the gate of Wu Yan Palace.

After the Empress came out, the guards at the gate quickly waved their hands and said, "Close the door."

Yun Shang turned around and saw Lady Shu looking up at their backs, smiling weirdly. Seeing that Yun Shang was looking back, Lady Shu just raised her hand and gently held her thumb, index finger and middle finger together.

Yun Shang frowned, hurriedly turned around and left with the Empress.

After walking far away, the Empress stamped her feet heavily, squinted her eyes and said coldly, "Lady Shu was once just a dog around me. Now she has learned to bite people, and thinks she is extraordinary." Yun Shang lowered her head and said nothing.

The Empress turned to look at Yun Shang and said softly, "Even if she is still in the Cold Palace, I can't tolerate her. What do you think I should do?"

Yun Shang was still thinking about the gesture of Lady Shu. Hearing the Empress' question, she asked in a low voice, "I'm wondering if Prince Qi is in the Jin City?"

Hearing Yun Shang's question, the Empress stopped and smiled. "You are really a smart woman. Now Prince Qi is in Jin City, but that woman has always spoiled her son very much. The people she arranged around her son are all loyal and good at their martial arts. It's difficult to hurt her son."

Seeing Yun Shang's expression change, the Empress continued, "Since you have asked that, you must have some idea?"

Yun Shang smiled and said softly, "I've heard a lot about the eldest princess as I'm living in Zhaoxia Palace, one of which is that the eldest princess is good at imitating the handwriting of others. The world is so big and the eldest princess couldn't be the only one who has the ability to do so. Could Your Majesty find such a talented person?"

The Empress glanced at Yun Shang and said indifferently, "Of course. But I'm curious. What's the use of finding such a person?"

"I've heard a story. At the end of the State of Shu, it happened to be a chaotic world. There was a stone tablet that suddenly appeared. It was engraved with the date of birth of Emperor Yuan of the State of Xia, under which was the words "the mandate of heaven". That's why the people firmly believed that Emperor Yuan was the one who was destined to be the emperor. Then the State of Xia was established." Yun Shang said slowly, "We could ask a talented person to carve the birthday of Prince Qi and "the mandate of heaven" on a stone tablet.

The Empress looked at Yun Shang with burning eyes and frowned. "Won't that help Prince Qi? The people of the State of Xia believe in the mysterious power. In this way, I'm afraid that everyone will be on the side of Prince Qi."

Yun Shang's curled into a cold smile, "The reason why Empress Yuan ascended the throne is that he was in a chaotic era. But now His Majesty is in his prime and was respected by his people. What do you think His Majesty will react if such a stone tablet appears?"

The Empress thought for a long time and suddenly laughed. "Great. How smart you are! But I don't understand. Why do you have to find someone who can imitate others' handwriting?"
