Yun Shang saw Luo Qingyan's little finger on the imperial table tremble slightly, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually spread. She was silent for a long time before she turned to Luo Qingyan with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, Miss Li is really crazy, but we can't be the same as her. There are some things that should be made clear. Otherwise, I can't take the responsibility if they are misunderstood and damage the reputation of the royal family of the State of Xia."
Yun Shang walked around the imperial table slowly with a faint smile on her face. She stopped in front of Li Lanyi and said, "Miss Li, what you said just now is really ridiculous. It's known to all that I gave birth to a son for the emperor when I was still the Crown Princess. Now the Prince is healthy and smart. Miss Li mentioned something generously just now, but I believe you didn't understand the situation clealy."
Li Lanyi sneered. When she was about to say something, Yun Shang suddenly raised her hand and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. She also quietly pointed at her acupoints, making her unable to move or speak again. Li Lanyi was stunned and stared at Yun Shang with hatred.
Yun Shang smiled again, saying, "As soon as you speak, you slander me and curse the royal family of the State of Xia. The reason why I said these words to you is that I don't want to make everyone present secretly have any inappropriate ideas because of you. But I dare not let you say anything more. If you say something disrespectful, it will be ominous for the new year."
Yun Shang turned around and looked at Luo Qingyan. She smiled and said, "Take her away. Execute her as his majesty said. Don't keep her here until the new year's day. She's such a dirty thing."
The guard obeyed and pulled Li Lanyi out.
Yun Shang returned to her seat and smiled. When she was about to say something, a report came from outside, "Your majesty, the Prince's nanny asked to see you. She said that the Prince has been crying since he woke up. The nanny had no choice but to bring him here."
Yun Shang smiled and thought to herself, 'Mother and son love each other. My baby came just in time.'.
"Bring the Prince in now!" Luo Qingyan also came to his senses and raised his voice.
The smile on Yun Shang's face froze, but she pretended that nothing had happened and smiled quietly.
The babysitter walked into the hall with Bao'er in her arms. As expected, Bao'er was crying so hard. Yun Shang stood up in a hurry, took two steps forward and held Bao'er in her arms. She gently patted Bao'er's back and pulled open the hat that covered his face. Bao'er's eyes were red with tears. He stared at Yun Shang, pouting, but still didn't stop crying.
Seeing that everyone was looking at Yun Shang in her arms, Yun Shang quickly raised her eyes and smiled, "Let's continue with the music."
The music began. Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan and said, "I'll go to the side hall and coax Chengye. I'll come back when he stops crying."
Luo Qingyan looked down at Bao'er in Yun Shang's arms and wiped the tears off the baby's eyes. Then he nodded and said softly, "Okay."
Seeing this, Hua Ling also stood up and said to Xia Huanyu, "I'll also go to see Chengye." Without looking sideways, Xia Huanyu only nodded slightly without saying anything. Yun Shang took Bao'er and the babysitter to the side hall. She found that Bao'er was still crying. Yun Shang's heart clenched when she heard this, and she quickly asked the babysitter, "Have you fed him yet?"
The wet nurse nodded and said, "Yes, I just fed him."
Yun Shang picked up Bao'er and took off his pants. They were dry and there was nothing wrong with them, but Bao'er kept crying.
Seeing this, Hua Ling also took Bao'er over and examined him carefully, but found nothing wrong.
Yun Shang kept coaxing him back and forth in the side hall with Bao'er in her arms, "Bao'er, don't cry. Don't cry."
After crying for about a quarter of an hour, Bao'er finally stopped as if he was tired of crying. Yun Shang sat down on the chair with Bao'er in her arms and sighed slightly, "Bao'er is too young to speak. He doesn't know how to express himself, and I don't know what's wrong with him. I'm afraid that something might happen to him."
Hua Ling nodded and smiled, "If you are worried, ask the imperial physician to have a look. Children are like this, and it will take more effort and patience."
Yun Shang nodded and took Bao'er pulse, but found nothing, so she had to give up.
Hua Ling looked at the sleeping baby in Yun Shang's arms and said softly, "Shang'er, do you think..."
Before Hua Ling finished her words, Yun Shang clearly knew what she wanted to say. She thought for a long time and said, "I'll send someone to investigate this matter. But the woman's father was recommended by the seventh Prince, and I'm afraid this girl was also sent by him. What I don't understand is why the woman did this. She was obviously seeking death. Was her purpose just to make the officials suspect me and then try their best to send people to the imperial household?
Hua Ling's eyes fell on Yun Shang. After a long time, she said softly, "Qingyan is the Emperor of the state. The officials hope that the more children he has, the better. It's understandable. If Qingyan always quarrels with the officials for such a thing, it seems a little unreasonable. You can discuss with him about this matter and see how to get a win-win solution. If it doesn't work, I think it would be acceptable for him to have several women in the imperial household. Getting them in the imperial household may not mean that he has to favor them. Those women can also be your people. In this way. There will be no difference between you and Qingyan, but you have to consider his face."
Yun Shang bit her lips. She knew that Hua Ling did this for their own good, but after all the things she had experienced in her previous life, she was very resistant to such things. Even if she just pretended, she could not accept it.
Yun Shang lowered her head, her eyes full of bitterness. Her mother had said before that Luo Qingyan must have a better future. Once he was in the highest position, many things would inevitably change.
