Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 968

After reading for a while, Yun Shang heard Pei Lan outside reporting, "Your Majesty, her former majesty is here."

Yun Shang was surprised. Today was new year's Eve. They would meet at the banquet later. Why did Hua Ling come to the Weiyang Palace at this time? Was there anything unexpected happening?

Thinking of this, Yun Shang stood up in a hurry and greeted Hua Ling in person. She smiled and said, "Mother, if you have something to tell me, just let me know. Why are you here in person?"

Hua Ling smiled and glanced around the room. Yun Shang quickly said, "There is no outsider in the room. Mother, what happened?"

Hua Ling nodded and looked at Yun Shang worriedly. After a moment's silence, she said, "I heard His Former Majesty talking about today's banquet with Yuan Bao in the morning. I'm afraid they didn't know I was awake, so they said..."

Hua Ling paused and glanced at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang held Hua Ling's hand and asked, "What did Father say? Mother, just say it. I can bear it."

"I don't know exactly what they were talking about. I only heard His Former Majesty say that Qingyan is outrageous. Now that he has become the Emperor, he still acts willfully. How can there be only one person in the imperial household? If the news spreads out, others will laugh at him." After a moment's silence, Hua Ling continued, "Later, I didn't hear clearly what Yuan Bao said in a low voice, but I heard His Former Majesty say that once this matter was exposed, he hope the Empress could consciously speak to Qingyan and recruit more people in the imperial household."

Hua Ling frowned, "But I don't know what he was talking about."

Yun Shang sneered, "He has never given up. He has tried every means to send people to his Majesty's imperial household. But he never feels for others and he should be clear what kind of situation he was in in the past. Anyway, I won't let him succeed. In the imperial household of Luo Qingyan, it's enough to have me alone."

Hua Ling nodded slightly. After a moment of silence, she held Yun Shang's hand and said, "No matter what, you don't need to shrink back on this kind of thing."

Yun Shang nodded with a smile. She didn't expect that as Luo Qingyan's mother, Hua Ling would help her on this matter. Yun Shang was grateful. She smiled, "I will."

After talking with Yun Shang for a while, Hua Ling went back to the Taihe Palace.

After lunch, Yun Shang sat upright in front of the dressing mirror, allowing the three people, Qin Yi, Madam Qi and Madam Qiu to comb her hair. They first made a high bun, and they then got the phoenix coronet ready.

"The new year's Eve banquet is a grand one, but it's a little more casual than the Grand Ceremony for the Empress, so it only needs the six dragons and three phoenix coronet," Madam Qiu explained softly as she handed the phoenix coronet to Madam Qi.

Yun Shang's eyes fell on the phoenix coronet in the bronze mirror. There were three dragons on the top of the coronet. The dragon in the middle had a huge pearl in its mouth, and the dragons on both sides were flying to the sky. The dragon head had a long string of ornaments, and under the three dragons were three blue phoenixes. The Phoenixes all flew down, and there were jewelry ornaments in their mouths, but they were a little shorter than the dragons above their heads. The other three dragons were decorated at the back of the phoenix coronet, also flying. At the bottom of the phoenix coronet, there were all kinds of gems. The dragons and Phoenixes were vivid, and the jewelry was bright and colorful.

Madam Qiu put the phoenix coronet on Yun Shang's head and fixed it carefully. Then she smiled and said, "Your majessy, shake your head and feel whether it's solid?"

Yun Shang shook her head and nodded with a smile, "Not bad."

After putting on the phoenix coronet, Qian Zhuo took out the phoenix robe. The Emperor's robe was bright yellow, while the Empress's robe was red. The edge of the robe was embroidered with golden silk. On the Phoenix robe, there were also three Phoenixes with spread wings. The Phoenix on the back was particularly beautiful, and the unrivaled tail was stretched out, which was incomparably magnificent. There were flowers on her chest, silver auspicious cloud pattern on her sleeves, and a waistband inlaid with gold and jade. Yun Shang's beauty was overwhelming.

"Your majesty is so gorgeous. I'm afraid even the gods in the sky will be attracted by you," Qian Zhuo praised with a smile. Then she took the out make-up case, picked out gold silk earrings for Yun Shang, and took cosmetics for Qin Yi to make up for Yun Shang.

Yun Shang looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror and smiled, "Qian Zhuo, you are more and more adept at praising people." Then she raised her hand to touch the earlobe on her ear. Thinking of what Hua Ling said this morning, her eyes were somewhat fierce, "According to my experience for so many years, there will always be some unexpected things in this kind of imperial banquet. I hope it will be smooth today."

Hearing this, Qin Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, your majesty. There is nothing in the world that you can't solve."

Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She turned around to look at Qin Yi, and then at Qian Zhuo, "It's obvious that Qin Yi learned the skill of praising people from Qian Zhuo, but she is better than others."

Qian Zhuo and Qin Yi smiled. They took a dark red cloak embroidered with Golden Phoenix and put it aside. Qian Zhuo smiled and said, "There is an old saying that an apprentice is taught to starve his master to death. Now that Aaunt Qin Yi is so powerful, I'm really going to be out of favor."

The master and servants burst into laughter at the same time. When they were laughing happily, the bead curtain was lifted. And Luo Qingyan's voice came in, "I heard you laughing happily from afar. If you have anything, just tell me."

All the people curtsied to him. Qian Zhuo said to Luo Qingyan with a smile, "Your Majesty, look at hermajesty, Isn't she unparalleled in her Phoenix robe and phoenix coronet? I'm just telling the truth. Her majesty made fun of me and said that I've become better at flattering people."
