Lord Hua Guo? It took Yun Shang a long time to react. This should be the Lord Hua Guo coming to them. But Prince Jing didn't seem to hear that and sat on the chair, reading, with no reaction. Yun Shang reached for Luo Qingyan's hand and said, "Your Highness, Lord Hua Guo and his wife are here."
Luo Qingyan nodded, "I know."
But Prince Jing still kept silent when Yun Shang said to him. Yun Shang was afraid that he was not pleased with Lord Hua Guo's arrival. But she didn't know what was the past between lord Hua Guo and him. She held Luo Qingyan's hand and said, "Your Highness, we are in the state of Xia now."
Luo Qingyan's hand holding the book paused for a while. Yun Shang knew that Luo Qingyan must have heard what she said and understood what she meant. Now that they were in the state of Xia, if they wanted to gain a firm foothold, they swore that they must make good use of some people or power. Yun Shang took a look at Prince Jing and immediately ordered the servants outside, "lead Lord Hua Guo and his wife to the garden hall and wait there. We will be there with you soon."
Yun Shang held Luo Qingyan's hand and stood up. They changed their clothes together and went to the flower hall.
When they arrived at the flower hall, Yun Shang saw two people sitting and standing in the garden house. The Lord Hua Guo was standing with his hands clasped behind his back to enjoy the landscape painting hanging on the wall. The other old lady, who seemed to be about 50 years old and had gray hair, was looking anxiously into the flower hall from time to time.
Yun Shang heard the old lady murmuring, "old master. What else do you want to see? Landscape painting? Qingyan has come back. Why hasn't he come yet? Have you asked a servant to invite him? "
Lord Hua Guo snorted, "how can he keep the elders waiting? He is so rude and ill bred."
Before lady Hua Guo could say anything, Prince Jing sneered. "If you don't like me being ill educated, you don't have to wait here. I don't welcome you as well."
Yun Shang took Prince Jing by the hand, and went out with a smile. She bowed to them, "Your Lordship, your ladyship."
Lord Hua Guo snorted and didn't respond. Lord Hua Guo's wife held Yun Shang up and patted her on the hand. She looked at Yun Shang and said with a smile, "you must be princess Yun Shang. Well, well, well. You look so pretty. You must be a good girl."
"Are you blind?" Lord Hua Guo grumbled unhappily.
Lord Hua Guo's wife turned a deaf ear to him. She shivered and looked behind Yun Shang. At that time, tears fell down from her eyes all of a sudden. "Good. It's Qingyan. My Lord, it is really Qingyan. he looks so much like Ling'er when she was a child... " As she spoke, her lips began to tremble, and after a while, she just sobbed and couldn't go on.
Seeing that, Lord Hua Guo sighed with his hands trembling. He pulled his wife over and said, "I told you not to come. But you insisted. You've embarrassed me to tears at first sight."
Yun Shang looked at them with a smile. It seemed that Lord Hua Guo didn't hate lady Hua Guo as rumor had it, and Lady Hua Guo loved the prince from the bottom of her heart.
Lord Hua Guo's wife shook her head and broke free from his grip. She walked up to Luo Qingyan, raised her hand tremblingly, and stopped with some hesitation. She smiled awkwardly and withdrew it. After a while, she raised her eyes and called softly, "Qingyan, Qingyan..."
