Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 928

Luo Qingyan didn't refuse. He walked to the desk and picked up the two pieces of cloth. After looking at them for a while, he chose the crimson cloth with clouds embroidered with golden threads.

Yun Shang smiled and said, "I also prefer this one as the color symbolized joy and fortune. Then she took the cloth and gave it to Qin Yi, "Ask the Shangyi Bureau to make some winter clothes for the little prince with this one."

Qin Yi replied, took the cloth and walked out.

Luo Qingyan yawned and said, "Ask someone to get some hot water. I want to soak my feet and then go to bed. I've been reading the memorials all day long. It's more tiring than a battle."

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She called Ban Xia to get some water. Then she started to massage Luo Qingyan's shoulder, reciting, "When Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man, it first exercises his mind with suffering...

"and his sinews and bones with toil." Luo Qingyan pat Yun Shang's hand and completed her sentence. After a moment of silence, he said jokingly, "Well, if you want, I'm willing to exercise my bone with toil for you tonight."

Hearing this, Yun Shang was stunned. She patted Luo Qingyan hard and sat far away from him. He thought to herself, Luo Qingyan is the Emperor of the state now, but why does he still behave so indecently? I should ask those civil and military officials to have a look. Their emperor's behavior must shock them. Ban Xia and Pei Lan fetched hot water to serve them. After washing up, Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan waved them out and went to the bed. Luo Qingyan took off the phoenix-shaped hairpin on Yun Shang's head and played with it in his hand.

Yun Shang leaned against the bed and read a book. After a while, she felt sleepy. She put down the bed curtain and was about to fall asleep when a light click was heard.

Yun Shang turned around and saw Luo Qingyan take off the head of the hairpin. Yun Shang's eyes widened and she saw that the body of the hairpin seemed to have been hollowed out, and a piece of paper was exposed inside.

Yun Shang exchanged a look with Luo Qingyan and thought that hairpin is really the best thing to hide things in. She had seen countless people hiding things in it. It seemed that she should pay more attention to hairpins in the future. While she was thinking, Luo Qingyan took the paper out of the hairpin.

After reading it, a touch of coldness appeared in Luo Qingyan's eyes. Seeing this, Yun Shang quickly took the paper over. The handwriting on it was a little small. The maid had blown out all the other lights in the hall, leaving only one lamp. The light passed through the bed curtain, making it more dim. Yun Shang didn't see the note clearly until she got closer to the light.

"October 29th, after lunch, read three books, The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Thousand Golden Prescriptions, and Six Strategies. From 3 pm, took a nap for one hour, then summoned Madam Lin from Zhongcui Palace, asking her to arrange someone to teach her etiquette. Had dinner at 5 pm, then played chess with the Emperor for two hours and rested at 9 pm."

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. The note seemed a little messy, but Yun Shang clearly knew that it recorded all things she did yesterday.

The reason why Hua Ling tried hard to give the jewelry to her was probably just to convey the news. In fact, she had suspected that Hua Ling must have some purpose by doing so and had planned to check the jewelry box carefully. And now that it had been discovered by Luo Qingyan by accident...

The note told her at least two messages.

First, there were still some spies watching her in Weiyang Palace.

Second, at least one of them was sent by Xia Huanyu.

Yun Shang kept silent. She folded the note, put it into the hairpin and put the hairpin aside. She wondered why Xia Huanyu had sent someone to keep an eye on her? Why did he watch her instead of Luo Qingyan? She couldn't do too many things as she was in the Palace now. What was he worried about?

Thinking of the cases about Lady Liu's midwives she had found out, Yun Shang had another guess in her heart. Was it possible that Xia Huanyu was afraid that she might investigate and discover something?

Luo Qingyan kept silent. After a long time, he kissed Yun Shang's forehead and said softly, "Don't worry."

With only two words, Yun Shang knew what he wanted to say. Someone was watching Yun Shang all day in Weiyang Palace with being noticed by the secret guard and could even clearly know what books she was reading. The one must have been a martial arts master. Of course, Luo Qingyan couldn't take the risk to speak it, in case of alerting the enemy.

Don't worry. These two words were telling Yun Shang that he would deal with it and make her relieved. Yun Shang smiled and said, "Let's rest. You have to get up early to go to the morning court tomorrow."

A light flashed in her eyes. There were too many secrets in the Palace, but the more Xia Huanyu didn't want her to investigate, the more she wanted to know what the truth was. What was the secret Xia Huanyu was trying to hide? Would the secret affect Luo Qingyan?

However, if someone was always watching her, it would be inconvenient for her to do anything.

Yun Shang kept thinking about these things and fell asleep soon.

When she woke up, it was a little earlier than usual. Yun Shang lay on the bed, playing with the white jade flute for a while, and then called Qin Yi in to make up for her. Qin Yi combed Yun Shang's hair in a bun and smiled, "Maybe because of the colder weather, Your Majesty looked a little pale. How about I apply some rouge for you?"

Yun Shang smiled and looked at the woman in the bronze mirror. Her face was indeed a little pale. Yun Shang nodded slightly and smiled, "Okay."
