The thrilling banquet finally ended in the evening.Yun Shang followed Luo Qingyan to the palace gate. On the way, people greeted Luo Qingyan from time to time. Luo Qingyan only nodded coldly to as an answer.
A gaze fell on Yun Shang. Perhaps it was because the gaze was too unfriendly, that Yun Shang noticed it at once. Yun Shang turned around and saw a woman in a long carmine dress looking at her.
Yun Shang recognized her at a glance. She was the woman who had volunteered to play a war song after the assassination.
Luo Qingyan didn't hear the footsteps of Yun Shang behind him. He turned to look at Yun Shang and followed her gaze, "What's wrong?"
Yun Shang smiled and said softly, "I'm afraid that lady has taken a fancy to your highness. She has been hostile to me since we were in the palace."
Luo Qingyan looked at the woman coldly. He held Yun Shang's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, my lady. All the other women except you are just moving stones in my eyes."
Yun Shang couldn't help but burst into laughter. She said with a smile, "Your Highness, may I ask where the rouge stone came from?"
Luo Qingyan sneered, "She is the daughter of the Bangyan."
"Daughter?" There was a hint of surprise in Yun Shang's eyes. She knew that among the top 3, Bangyanwas the only person who was not controlled by Luo Qingyan. But she thought that the Bangyan, Li Ye, was at most thirty years old, but she didn't expect his daughter to be so old.
"Yes, it took him more than 20 years to get the top of the list. It's really difficult for him being so old to get the position," Luo Qingyan squinted and said indifferently.
Yun Shang turned around and looked at the woman in a long carmine dress again. She saw a middle-aged man standing next to her. He looked about forty years old. His face was sallow and yellow, and his eyes were empty.
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, but kept silent. Li Ye's appearance was exactly the same as that of a person who had read for more than 20 years in Yun Shang's heart. A person had been trying to get a scholarly honour for twenty years, so he was very stubborn about it. Such a person might only be able to study hard, and he might not even be able to care about his own life. What could Xia Houjing do to arrange such a rigid man in the court?
And
Yun Shang recalled the performance of the woman in a long carmine dress. She was more like a martial artist, with a sense of sharpness in her actions. Moreover, she just said that she wanted to play a war song for everyone.
If the ranking had nothing to do with that woman, she would still feel that nothing was wrong.
But that woman was Li Ye's daughter. How could a stereotyped person teach such a daughter? Practicing martial arts was straightforward and bold, and there was a bit of pride in his expression.
With a thoughtful look in her eyes, Yun Shang turned around and walked to the palace gate side by side with Luo Qingyan.
Yun Shang heard whispers conning from the side, and the voice fell faintly into Yun Shang's ears, "The Crown Princess is too rude. How could she walk side by side with her husband?"
Yun Shang sneered, but said nothing.
The carriage of Crown Prince's mansion's was parked at the gate of the palace. The coachman and servants saw Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang coming out, and hurriedly asked a stool to move down from the carriage. Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's elbow and helped her into the carriage. Then he followed Yun Shang into the carriage. This move attracted a group of people's attention.
Hearing the whispers around the carriage, Yun Shang rubbed her temples and smiled helplessly. "I'm afraid I'll soon become famous among these newly appointed officials. The most ignorant woman in the State of Xia about three obediences and four virtues."
"I know it whether you are good or not, gentle or not, virtuous or not as well as you know about three obediences and four virtues or not... . Why do you care about others' opinions?" Luo Qingyan said indifferently.
Yun Shang smiled at Yun Shang's words, but she made up her mind that she had to pretend to be well behaved no matter what happened in the future. Otherwise, if she caused some bad gossip, it would not be her real intention.
"Your Highness, why don't you ask me about the Hufu?" Yun Shang blinked and turned to look at Luo Qingyan.
