Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 922

The noise continued, but Yun Shang just turned a deaf ear to it. She took a book to read, but lost in thought. She had moved into the Palace for several days and had already dealt with the things in Weiyang Palace. It was time for her to manage the imperial household. Before Empress Hua returned to the Palace, it was Empress Su, and the Lady Shu, who were responsible to run the Imperial Household. Empress Hua was favored by Xia Huanyu, but she didn't know much about the imperial household, so she paid little attention to it.

It had been several months that no one oversaw all those departments in the Imperial Household.

All sorts of matters in the imperial household were complicated, and there were some loopholes in the rules. With no one managing it for a long time, some unscrupulous people might have taken the advantage to line their pockets. However, if she rashly took it over and forcibly arranged everything, it might antagonize everyone. If everyone was unwilling to cooperate, she would have no way to run the Imperial Household. But if she just let it go, people would think that she was incapable of managing the Imperial Household. Someone would become even more aggravated, which would make it harder for her to deal with.

It was really tricky. She had to calculate to a nicety.

"Your Majesty." Qin Yi called her softly.

Yun Shang came to her senses and looked up at Qin Yi. Seeing her expression, Qin Yi knew that she must be thinking about something else just now. She reported softly, "Lady Cao is here." Yun Shang was stunned. After a long time, she remembered that Lady Cao was the fifteenth Princess's mother. She must have come to plead for her daughter.

Yun Shang handed the book to Ban Xia, who was standing aside, and nodded, "Bring Lady Cao in."

Qin Yi replied, walked to the door and called smilingly, "Please come in, Lady Cao."

Yun Shang looked up and saw that Lady Cao didn't wear ant make-up, but she still looked elegant and gentle.

As soon as Lady Cao entered the room, she hurriedly curtsied to Yun Shang. "Your Majesty."

Yun Shang asked Qin Yi to help Lady Cao up. She looked at Lady Cao up and down and said with a smile, "I haven't seen Your Highness for a long time. You look as elegant as before."

There was a trace of anxiety in Lady Cao's eyes. Hearing Yun Shang's words, she forced a smile. After a moment of silence, she said, "I knew my daughter had offended Your Majesty. I came here to apologize to you."

Then she knelt down again and kowtowed to Yun Shang.

Seeing this, Yun Shang felt a little sad. She looked at the back of Lady Cao and sank into thought. Lady Cao was such a gentle woman. If the fifteenth Princess had been raised by her since she was a child, she must've been grown into a real noble royal princess.
