"His majesty is here."
Liu Wenan's sharp and thin voice came from outside. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did his majesty come so early today?"
As she spoke, she quickly fixed her bun and walked out.
"Your majesty." Seeing Luo Qingyan come in, Yun Shang walked up to him with a smile. "Your majesty, have you finished handling all the political affairs today? Why are you here so early? "
Luo Qingyan nodded, "there's nothing important to deal with in the court this morning, and the courtiers didn't submit many memorials. I've already handled it well. Thinking that I haven't played chess with you for a long time, I come here to play with you."
"I'm no match for you, your majesty. You always bully me." Yun Shang complained with a smile. Then she turned around and ordered the servants to put out the chessboard and chess pieces.
After a few moves, Yun Shang found that Luo Qingyan had a particularly murderous way of playing chess today.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at the chessboard. "Your majesty said there is nothing important to deal with in the court this morning, and the courtiers didn't submit many memorials. Then who irritated you, your majesty?"
Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yun Shang smiled, "Your majesty is angry, so you come to my Weiyang Palace? Is it because of me? "
Luo Qingyan still didn't say a word. Yun Shang put down a piece and continued to guess, "There are three things about me that the officials might be unsatisfied with."
"First, I'm the princess of the State of Ning, but I've become the Empress of the State of Xia. Although the State of Ning and the State of Xia are now good friends because of you and me, they is no permanent friend, only permanent enemies. If the relationship between the two countries deteriorate one day, I will be the most unstable factor."
As Yun Shang spoke, her eyes were still fixed on the chessboard. "But father is still in Jin City. No one dares to talk about it at this time."
"Second, there are rumors everywhere that I can't have another child, and that Bao'er is an idiot. I'm sure that some courtiers will hear about it and want to know the truth. However, if the courtiers want to make trouble, they will most likely make trouble for me, not for your majesty... "
"As for the last one, it's against the rules that I'm the only one in your majesty's harem. In this way, it breaks the courtiers' wish to send their daughters to the palace to obtain great favor and bring benefit to them. Since it was related to their own interests, they would naturally try their best to fight. I'm afraid that's why his majesty is so angry today. "
Luo Qingyan sneered, "A group of old bastards. They have dealt with their own business in a mess, but they still want to interfere in my family affairs. It seems that I have been too tolerant to them before, so that they think they can point at me as they like. "
Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang knew she was right.
Yun Shang pursed her lips. She was neither a broad-minded person nor a virtuous person. Naturally, she would not push her husband into the arms of others for the so-called state of Xia and the royal family's reproduction.
"Well, I won't let you win. If you win, it can only be because you have improved your chess skills." Luo Qingyan had always been able to correct her mistakes.
Hearing that, Yun Shang couldn't help but glance at Luo Qingyan. She took a white piece from the basket and said, "I'll make the first move."
Luo Qingyan played in a peaceful way, but Yun Shang didn't win either.
Yun Shang was not surprised at the result. She threw the chess pieces into the basket and said with a smile, "Over. Although I always think that my chess skills are not bad, they are still not as good as your majesty's. Besides, there are too many things happening recently, and I didn't practice it. I don't want to humiliate myself. "
"Mr. Xiao taught you how to play chess in person, so you are definitely very skilled. But... It seems that there is something on my mind today? "
Yun Shang paused for a moment, and then smiled, "It's just some trifle things in the imperial household. It's not worth mentioning. I've asked someone to pick some Osmanthus fragrans, and I've ordered the imperial kitchen to make mandarin fish with fragrans for your majesty. "
"Great." Hearing Yun Shang's words, Luo Qingyan didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "To tell you the truth, the contents of today's memorials are almost the same. It's interesting."
"What? What is it? " Yun Shang blinked.
Luo Qingyan's lips curled up, but his eyes darkened. "There are several courtiers who said that since Xia Houjing is no longer a threat, Liu Cang, Siyang and Nanyang should be cleaned up. Coincidentally, these courtiers are all recommended themselves to these places. "
