"Okay, I'll tell him," Lady Hua Guo replied, "Although I asked him about it several times before, I didn't talk with him in detail. When he comes to greet me, I'll tell him about this."
Yun Shang nodded and smiled again, "But if my seventh cousin really has a crush on Miss Cao, it doesn't matter if he wants to marry her. The Cao Family... I'm afraid that they won't be long on the stage. His majesty and I can't let them go on that way.
But if my cousin wants to marry her, just keep an eye on her. Don't let her get any news and send to the Cao clan. She will be lonely and helpless after the Cao clan is destroyed. Without her family's support, she will only be a loyal member of our Hua clan. "
Lady Hua Guo smiled and replied, "I know the reason of it. But if the Cao mansion has anything to do with that person surnamed Cao, even if this girl behaves herself, we will feel uncomfortable."
"You are right."
Yun Shang knew that Lady Hua Guo had her own thoughts, so she didn't say anything more. After chatting a few more words, she left.
It was already evening when Yun Shang returned to the palace. Seeing that it was time for dinner, Yun Shang felt it was better to have dinner with Luo Qingyan directly, so she went to the Taiji Palace.
Yet, Luo Qingyan wasn't in the Taiji Palace. A servant at the gate said that Luo Qingyan had gone to the Meeting Hall.
Yun Shang frowned. It was already dinner time. Why was he still in the Meeting Hall?
Did he know that she had left the palace and thought that no one could care about him, so he didn't even prepare dinner?
Thinking of this, she turned around and went to the Meeting Hall.
When Yun Shang walked to the door of the Meeting Hall, she saw Liu Wenan standing in the outer hall. The door of the inner hall was closed, and there was a faint voice coming from inside.
Seeing Yun Shang come in, Liu Wenan hurried to greet her. Afraid of disturbing the people inside, he lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you here, your majesty? Do you want me to go in and report it to his majesty? "
"Who are there? What are they doing? " Yun Shang asked.
"The Grand councilor as well as several ministers from the Ministry of revenue, the Ministry of Defence and War, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Labor are all here. They are investigating the accounts of the national treasury, discussing about the food and provisions at the border, and the construction of two water projects..."
Yun Shang nodded. It was indeed important matters. She shouldn't have disturbed them, but it was not good for his majesty not to have dinner.
Thinking of this, Yun Shang stood at the door of the inner hall and listened carefully to the sound inside. She wanted to see what was going on inside and whether it was convenient for her to go in. If it was not convenient, she could ask Liu Wenan to go inside to report.
There was only a wall between the conference hall and the outer hall. Standing outside the door, the sound inside could be heard clearly.
It seemed that they were flipping through the account books. There was no big movement in the hall, only faint sounds of conversation could be heard.
"There are not many books left, are there?" It was Luo Qingyan who asked.
"Yes, there are only four books left," someone answered.
Luo Qingyan seemed to smile, "Thank you for working with me the whole day today. You can go back to have dinner as soon as possible. I'll ask the imperial kitchen to make some cakes and send them here later. You can have some of them first on the way."
Hearing Luo Qingyan's voice, Yun Shang couldn't help smiling.
Although Luo Qingyan looked a little cold, he was not a harsh emperor. He knew when to be tough and when to be soft.
Outside the palace, the Empress could hardly restrain her wild smile. After a long time, she lowered her head, covered her mouth and chuckled. Then she took two steps back.
"Your Majesty?"
Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Liu Wenan lowered his voice.
Yun Shang smiled and said, "His Majesty is busy now. I'll go to the Taiji Palace to prepare the food. After I leave, you go inside and report to his majesty. Don't tell him that I've been here. Just tell him that I've sent my servants here and that the dinner time is up. Ask his majesty when he will go back to the Taiji Palace for dinner."
"Well?" Liu Wenan looked at Yun Shang in surprise. Wasn't everyone here, why not eat here then? Why did he have to send a message? And why did she specially ask not to tell his majesty that she had been here?
"The imperial household is not allowed to interfere with the political affairs. This is indeed not the place I should come. It's better not to say it out. We can't let anyone find faults with us,"
Yun Shang explained and walked out of the Meeting Hall.
Liu Wenan responded, but he was still confused. Then how about her majesty had come here many times before?
But Liu Wenan also knew who he should obey. Seeing that Yun Shang had gone far, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Hearing the noise, everyone in the hall turned to look at Liu Wenan.
"Your Majesty, her majesty has just sent a message here telling that it's time for dinner and asked when you will go back to the Taiji Palace for dinner? Her majesty said she is waiting for your majesty to have dinner in the Taiji Palace. "
Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and said smilingly, "Look, I've told you. Women are really troublesome..."
