Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 981

A hint of astonishment flashed through Yun Shang's eyes. She never thought that the truth was like this. It was Xia Chun who didn't want the throne and let Xia Huanyu ascend to the throne. However, Xia Huanyu didn't defend himself against the charge of killing his father and brother.

"My father liked to carve, but he was not interested in power. He was often scolded for this, so he became less interested in that position. His Former Majesty was good at both literature and martial arts, and had a good reputation in the court. At that time, my father had some plan. When she went to ask His Former Majesty for help, he was refused by His Former Majesty. Because His Former Majesty had fallen in love with the daughter of the Hua clan at that time, he had promised to only marry her in his life. If he took that position, it would be difficult. I don't know what my father has done, but His Former Majesty finally agreed." Liu Yinfeng held Bao'er's hand and looked out of the pavilion.

"Later, after Empress Hua fell off the cliff and disappeared and couldn't be found everywhere. His Former Majesty's heart was almost dead. He wanted to give the throne to me, and then he went to look for Empress Hua himself, so he tried every means to take me back to the imperial city. However, because of some unforeseen events, his wish could not be fulfilled. In fact, my father and I owe His Former Majesty a lot." Liu Yinfeng lowered his head and chuckled, with complex look in his eyes.

Yun Shang was surprised. In this way, it also explained why Xia Huanyu brought Liu Yinfeng to the Palace in the name of Lady Liu two years later. She didn't understand before, but she didn't expect the truth to be like this. Yun Shang opened her mouth and wanted to ask if he had ever wanted the throne? But she felt that this question went too far and did not ask.

"Xia Houjing..." Yun Shang said hesitantly after a moment of silence.

A hint of bitterness flashed through Liu Yinfeng's eyes. He sighed and said gently, "Maybe I'm not interested in power because I was influenced by my father. My father had been depressed all the time in the Jin City. After leaving the city, the whole family had a lot of fun, so I always feel that it's better to live an ordinary life. But he was born and raised in the Imperial Palace. He was used to fighting for power and was obsessed with the throne. But his temperament is not suitable to be the emperor. I have tried my best to persuade him, but he still can't let it go. If the battle between him and his majesty is inevitable, I only hope that his majesty can spare his life."

Yun Shang lowered her head and smiled, "Since his majesty has promised you, he will not break his promise."

Then she looked up at the garden and changed the topic casually, "After some months, the flowers in the garden will bloom. When you were in the State of Ning, you told me that the Misty Mountain in the State of Xia was very beautiful in spring when the peach flowers were in bloom. Last year, we missed the time when the peach flowers bloomed. This year, we should be able to see the beautiful scene."

Hearing this, Liu Yinfeng looked at Yun Shang with boundless tenderness in his eyes, "I didn't expect that you still remember."

Yun Shang lowered her head and smiled. After chatting with Liu Yinfeng for a while, she saw Luo Qingyan coming from the east of the Imperial Garden and walking straight towards them. Yun Shang stood up with a smile, "Your Majesty is here.

Liu Yinfeng also turned around, handed Bao'er back to the wet nurse and stood outside the pavilion.

Luo Qingyan walked to the pavilion, smiled at they two and said, "It's a good day today. There's still some sunshine and not cold. It's a good time for drinking." Then he turned to look at Liu Yinfeng, "Last time you said you've brought a lot of good wine back from Liucang City. Did you bring the wine with you?"

Liu Yinfeng hurriedly bowed with a smile and said, "yes." Then he pointed to five or six jars of wine under the stone table in the pavilion.

Yun Shang didn't notice them just now. She looked down and didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. "People who don't know may think that two drunkards have met each other."

After saying that, she ordered Qian Zhuo to prepare some dishes and desserts. Yun Shang sat with Luo Qingyan and Liu Yinfeng for a while and said, "Bao'er is sleepy. I'll take him back to have a rest. I'll ask someone to prepare some dumplings and sweet dumplings. Mr. Liu, please stay and eat with us later."

Luo Qingyan nodded gently and answered with a smile. Yun Shang glanced at him and said softly, "Don't drink too much."

After saying that, Yun Shang turned around and left the Fenghua Pavilion.

After returning to Weiyang Palace, Yun Shang slept for a while with Bao'er. After she got up, Qian Zhuo got her dressed and fixed her hair. Yun Shang yawned and asked, "His majesty and Mister Liu are still in the Imperial Garden?" "They were there just now. I'll send someone to have a look later."

Yun Shang was a little surprised. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "How much wine did they drink?"

With a slight smile, Qian Zhuo said, "The jars of wine that Mr. Liu brought into the Palace have been drunk up, and the Emperor has ordered someone to bring several pots of wine. Pei Lan went to see them earlier. She said that the two of them were a little drunk. I've asked Qing Hao and Su Mu to wait there. If the emperor is drunk, they'll help him back to the Weiyang Palace."

Yun Shang knew that she had a grudge against the fact that Chen Miaosi helped Luo Qingyan back to Weiyang Palace, so she smiled and said, "okay. Have you prepared the dumplings and sweet dumplings?"

Qian Zhuo nodded, "Yes, everything is ready. Do I need to ask them to cook now?"

"What time is it now?" Yun Shang asked softly.

"It's not five o'clock yet." Qian Zhuo answered.

After a moment's silence, Yun Shang said, "Cook them and make two bowls of sober soup. Mister Liu lives outside the Palace. It's getting dark soon. We could have dinner earlier."
