Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 883

As soon as Luo Qingyan returned home, Yun Shang told him what happened between Ning Qian and Wang Jinhuan. Looking at the smile on Yun Shang's face, Luo Qingyan kept silent for a moment and said, "Ning Qian's worry is not unreasonable. Don't be happy too early. I know you want Ning Qian to have a good husband. Although Wang Jinhuan seemed a little restless, he was reliable. And I think he could be a good husband. However, Minister Wang and Lady Wang attach great importance to family background. Ning Qian's background is a big problem. If you want Ning Qian to marry Wang Jinhuan, you have to make good arrangement. You don't want Ning Qian to be bullied by her parents-in-law, do you?"

Hearing this, Yun Shang was a little surprised. Yun Shang had had some contacts with Minister Wang and Lady Wang when she was in the State of Ning. In Yun Shang's memory, Minister Wang was a father who loved his children, and Lady Wang was gentle and virtuous. How could it be?

Yun Shang spoke out her doubts. Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten your status in the State of Ning? At that time, you were Princess Hui Guo, the favorite daughter of Emperor Ning. They were surely happy to see that you were on good terms with their son and daughter. Naturally, they showed the best in front of you."

"And think it, Minister Wang and Lady Wang want Liu Qiyan to be Wang Jinyan's husband. Although Liu Qiyan comes from an ordinary family, he is a Zhuangyuan*. Except being young and good-looking, he has been favored by the Emperor and has been put in a high position as the Grand Councilor. Besides his sister is an imperial concubine. Who doesn't want to marry his daughter to such a man?" (TN*: title conferred on the person who scores the highest in the Imperial examination)

Yun Shang knew that Minister Wang and Luo Qingyan were familiar when they were in the State of Ning. Luo Qingyan knew Minister Wang very well. Since he said so, it must be true.

Yun Shang frowned and asked worriedly, "What should we do?"

Seeing that Yun Shang was worried about this, Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "You could even push the ordinary man, Liu Qiyan, to his current position, it won't be difficult for you to create a good background for Ning Qian. But Ning Qian is famous in the Imperial City of the State of Ning. Many noble members and senior officials have seen Ning Qian. You'll have to think a good plan."

Yun Shang nodded slightly. What Luo Qingyan said seemed to be the only way she could do now.

When the two of them were talking, they heard a maid downstairs shouting, "It's raining. Move the things inside quickly."

It's raining? Yun Shang walked out of the window and saw the ripples on the lake. It was likely to rain heavily.

Yun Shang frowned and said, "It's late autumn now. The rain is still so heavy."

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan, who was sitting on the couch for a rest, suddenly sprang up. "No, the thatched cottage for the refugees outside the city hasn't been built yet. Where could the refugees hide from the rain?"

Saying this, he hurried out without putting on her robe. Yun Shang also rushed to the corridor outside and shouted at the servants behind Luo Qingyan, "Take an umbrella. Don't let His Highness get wet in the rain."

The servant answered in a hurry, took the umbrella and cloak, and chased after Luo Qingyan, who had gone far away.

Qin Yi, who was coming back from outside, asked in a hurry, "The dinner is ready. Where is His Highness going?"

Yun Shang raised her head and looked at the more and more dense raindrops. She frowned and said, "The rain is really untimely."

Qin Yi was even more confused. Seeing that Yun Shang was standing in the corridor in a thin dress, Qin Yi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, come in. It's cold in rainy days. Don't catch a cold."

Catch a cold?

Yun Shang's body trembled. The refugees outside the city had been wandering from their hometown all the way here, enduring hunger, and most of them probably didn't even have a piece of clothes to cover their bodies. It was highly possible for them to get sick if they got wet in the rain.

"Gather all the doctors we could mobilized in the city to prepare some herbs for cold and fever." Yun Shang said in a hurry.

Qin Yi replied, but she was a little worried. "But in this way, our power will be exposed to the public."

After a moment's silence, Yun Shang turned around and walked into the room. "Make up for me. I'm going to the Palace. Ask Qian Yin to prepare the doctors and herbs in secret. Take action immediately after I give the order. Qin Yi ordered the servants to prepare a carriage, and then followed Yun Shang into the room. She quickly changed Yun Shang into a light blue dress, combed her a Fairy Lady Bun and inserted three hairpins in it, and then draped a cloak over Yun Shang.

Yun Shang stood up and went downstairs in a hurry. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, with crackling sounds. Qin Yi hurriedly took an umbrella for Yun Shang. Yun Shang took the umbrella and said, "Let Hua'er come with me. You wait at home. If His Highness has any orders, you can arrange it."

Qin Yi replied in a hurry. Yun Shang held the umbrella and went into the rain.

Yun Shang went to the Meeting Hall first. The eunuch there said that Xia Huanyu was in Weiyang Palace. Yun Shang hurried to the Weiyang Palace. Outside it was raining violently, while inside the Weiyang Palace, the tea was boiling on the furnace. Xia Huanyu and Empress Hua were sitting in the main hall, reading and sometimes whispering.

This was what Yun Shang saw outside the main hall. When the maid at the door saw Yun Shang, she quickly greeted, "Your Highness Crown Princess."
