Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 848

At the same time, in the Crown Prince's Mansion, Empress Hua was playing chess with Yun Shang. After a chess piece was put down, Empress Hua smiled and said, "Many things are like the chess game, where people are attacking each other. Shang'er, what should I do if someone offends me?"

Hearing this, Yun Shang knew what Empress Hua was referring to. She gently dropped the chess piece in her hand, and her smile became brighter. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, get rid of you."

Hearing this, the Empress's eyes suddenly flashed with light. "Speaking of this, someone has already fooled me twice." As Empress Hua spoke, she put down the chess pieces, picked up Yun Shang's chess pieces from the chessboard one by one, and put them aside. "This time, just as Shang'er said, I'll get rid of the one."

As soon as Empress Hua finished her words, she heard footsteps and baby's crying outside the door. Yun Shang quickly stood up and walked to the door. She saw Qin Yi come in with Bao'er in her arms. "Bao'er, don't cry. Bao'er, don't cry. Your mother is here..."

Yun Shang immediately took over the baby. As soon as Bao'er was in Yun Shang's arms, he stopped crying and looked at Yun Shang with his big eyes. There were still tears on his eyelashes, but he was laughing with his hands clapped.

Empress Hua walked to Yun Shang and wiped off the tears from the corner of Bao'er's eyes. Her face softened. "Bao'er is so clingy to you and he is able to recognize his mother. Yingjie was like this when he was a child. He was happy in my arms and started to cry as soon as I let go of him."

Hearing her mention of Zhao Yingjie, Yun Shang smiled and turned to her. "Your Majesty doesn't seem to dislike General Zhao. Besides, many officials in the court tried to talk about General Zhao, but they were all suppressed by His Majesty. I have told Qingyan that General Zhao likes to fight. If there is a chance, he could send General Zhao to the military camp. But I'm afraid General Zhao has to start from an ordinary soldier..."

Yun Shang kissed Bao'er on his cheek, and he giggled.

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Empress Hua was very happy. "It doesn't matter for him to start as an ordinary soldiers. The gold will shine sooner or later."

Yun Shang nodded, "General Zhao is excellent in military tactics. It's not difficult for him to stand out."

Empress Hua smiled and sat down beside the chessboard. She thought for a while and said, "Compared with these, I'm more worried about his marriage. He was delayed by Princess Hua Jing before, so he didn't want to get married again. I know he is afraid that I might be mistreated if he marries a bad tempered woman. But the situation is different now. I hope he could find someone who knows him well to accompany him."

Yun Shang thought for a while and looked at Qin Yi. After a moment's hesitation, she said softly, "I have a good candidate."

"Oh?" Empress Hua's eyes lit up and stared at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "How do Your Majesty think of my maid Qin Yi?"

Hearing this, Qin Yi widened her eyes and was about to speak, but Yun Shang interrupted her. "Qin Yi has been with me since I was eight years old. She has been working hard for me for so many years. I was too young to consider her marriage at that time. I always felt guilty for her, but I haven't found a suitable person."

Qin Yi opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the voice of Empress Hua came again, "I think it's good. She is gentle and capable. I think she is a good match for my honest son. Qin Yi, what do you think about it? Just feel free to tell me."

Qin Yi's face had reddened. Hearing the question of Empress Hua, she quickly said, "I'm just a servant. I don't deserve General Zhao..."

"Virtues value more than status. My former daughter-in-law is a noble princess of the State of Ning, but she is good at nothing expect making me angry. Besides, Qin Yi, you are the most capable assistant of the Crown Princess. Isn't that a high status? My son has been married before, I hope you don't mind that." Said Empress Hua with a smile.

Yun Shang sat aside, listening to Empress Hua without saying anything, as if lost in thought. Today she felt that Empress Hua's temperament was more kike the one she knew in the State of Ning. The one who liked to get straight to the point and didn't beat about the bush.

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said softly, "I just want to serve the Crown Princess."

Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled gently and said in a softer voice, "I know what Qin Yi is worried about. You are always my most capable maid, but all women are going to get married in the end. Qin Yi, you have been with me for so many years. I really hope that you can have a good family. Besides, just like Qian Yin, even if she gets married, she is still in Jin City and still helping me deal with all kinds of things, isn't she?"
