Lady Hua Guo nodded and frowned. "I always feel that something is wrong. If Su Ruji really came back to the Jin City, how didn't she hid herself instead of wandering around in the city?"
Yun Shang nodded slightly, lost in thought.
Guests were coming gradually. Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang were greeting the guests at the gate of the garden house. Male guests and female guests were taken to different areas in the garden for rest.
Yun Shang took Bao'er to the place where the female guests rested. A group of ladies came up to them and said, "The little prince is so lovely. Your Highness Crown Princess is really lucky."
Yun Shang listened to their compliments with a smile. She looked calm and chatted with them.
"I heard that Empress Hua will come today. I don't know what kind of person she is, but I think she must be exceedingly beautiful since His Majesty loves her so much." Then they talked about Empress Hua.
"Is it possible that Empress Su is disposed because of Empress Hua? Empress Su has been the Empress for more than 20 years. She is virtuous and gentle. If it's just because of this, it seems that the Emperor is somewhat unkind." A young woman said softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Looking at everyone's face, that young woman seemed to realize that Empress Hua was the Crown Prince's biological mother, and the Crown Princess was still here... Yun Shang bowed her head and teased Bao'er in Qin Yi's arms. Bao'er suddenly cried. Yun Shang immediately held him into her arms, but he didn't stop crying. Yun Shang looked at the guests apologetically and smiled, "The little prince is hungry. I'll take him away to feed him." Then she hurriedly went back to the South Yard with Bao'er.
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingyan was also there. He seemed to be listening to the secret guard reporting something in a low voice.
Yun Shang handed Bao'er to the wet nurse and walked up to Luo Qingyan. "What happened?"
Luo Qingyan shook his head, "nothing."
Yun Shang told Luo Qingyan what Lady Hua Guo had said before. Then she said in a low voice, "I thought about it carefully just now. Su Ruji appeared on the street so blatantly, probably because she wanted us to know that she had arrived at the Jin City. The most important thing in the Jin City recently is Bao'er's full-moon-birth party. She wants to tell us that she will take action at the party."
Luo Qingyan nodded slightly. "I'm afraid they will take action today, but their real target is not the full moon party."
"If they are not going to take action at the full moon party, what else could it be?" Yun Shang had the same thought just now, but she really couldn't figure out what they wanted to do. Today, Xia Huanyu, Empress Hua, Luo Qingyan, she and Lord Hua Guo were almost all in the Crown Prince's Mansion. It was a good opportunity to kill them all with one strike.
Thinking of that Xia Huanyu and Empress Hua were both in the Crown Prince's Mansion, Yun Shang took a tumble. Then the Imperial Palace was not well guarded. Did Su Ruji and Imperial Palace want to snatch the Palace?
Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan looked at each other and saw the same message in each other's eyes, "The Imperial Palace."
The butler ran over in a hurry. Seeing that Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan were both in the yard, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Your Highnesses, His Majesty and Her Majesty's palanquins are coming. Hurry up to greet them at the gate."
Although Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan had a preliminary guess, they were not completely sure. Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan and said, "Bao'er is very hungry. He cried in the garden just now. You go to greet His Majesty and Her Majesty."
Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, looked at Yun Shang and said softly, "I'll wait for you."
Yun Shang smiled and answered softly.
When Luo Qingyan just arrived at the gate, he heard Liu Wenan's singing tone, "His Majesty is here. Her Majesty is here."
All the people in the mansion had already been kneeling on the ground. Luo Qingyan walked quickly to the front and knelt down. "Greetings, Your Majesties."
Wearing a long red robe, Xia Huanyu held the hand of the Empress and walked in. Today, Empress Hua wore a slightly formal dress, a purplish red palace dress, which looked more dignified than usual.
Taking a look at Luo Qingyan, Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "Get up."
After everyone thanked him, they all stood up and stood aside. Empress Hua said first, "Today is Bao'er's full moon party. Where are Shang'er and Bao'er?" Luo Qingyan answered in a hurry, "Bao'er was hungry and kept crying. Shang'er had to take him to the South Yard. She'll bring him back here after the wet nurse fed him."
Xia Huanyu nodded and turned to Empress Hua, "Do you want to wait outside or go to have a look at Bao'er?"
Empress Hua thought for a while and said, "Just stay outside. They'll be here soon. If I go in now, Shang'er will have to serve me and leave all the people outside."
