An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 645

The empress must have thought that Luo Qingyan was like the others. Reluctantly as he was, he could only swallow the truth in his heart and responded, "not too long."

But she didn't expect that Luo Qingyan just sneered with a hint of sarcasm on his face. "Yes, we've waited for a long time. Your majesty's nap time is really a little strange. I've heard that the empress always has a nap at about 2 p.m., but it seems your majesty has changed the nap time today."

The empress was embarrassed. She smiled awkwardly. "Maybe it's getting cold at night, so I got a headache today, and decided to have more sleep since I was free. But the maid didn't report to me that you were waiting outside as she didn't want to disturb my sleep."

Luo Qingyan was surprised, "Really? I thought the servants in the palace were all trained strictly, but I didn't expect the grand maid of your majesty dared to ignore what you said, which opened my eyes. "

The hand that the empress was holding on the maid tightened. Yun Shang saw that the maid was trying her best to control her uneasiness. After a while, the empress smiled slowly and whispered, "Your Highness, are you blaming me for not educating my maid well? I'm sorry that she neglected you. " Then she released her hand on the maid and sneered, "Did you hear Prince Rui? Go to take your punishment. "

The maid shuddered at her words, and obeyed.

Then the empress walked to a chair and sat down. The smile on her face softened a little. "Prince Rui, Lady Rui, is there anything important?"

Luo Qingyan remained silent. Yun Shang said with a smile, "today is the first day of the lunar new year. I come with his highness to wish your highness a happy new year."

The empress also laughed. "Good. You are pregnant now. I am very happy this new year. Except for Yun Xi, no other princes have children now."

Yun Shang's face changed when she heard the emperor's words. The smile on her face became brighter. "Yes, the imperial palace will soon be filled with noise and excitement again. Besides me, Lady Hui is pregnant now..."

As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, she saw the empress's face darken, but her voice was still very gentle. "Yes. It has been a long time that no concubine in the imperial household gets pregnant. It's really a happy thing."

Luo Qingyan didn't say anything again. Yun Shang talked with the empress for a while and then left. When the two of them walked out of the Wei Yang Palace, Yun Shang smiled. "This time, your majesty must be very angry." Then she turned around and whispered to Qin Yi, "Send a message to our ladies in the palace, asking them to be prepared..."

Qin Yi replied in a low voice.

Luo Qingyan looked around, frowning, and then looked at Yun Shang, "go to the Tai Chi hall?"

Yun Shang smiled and said, "You could go, but it's not appropriate for me to go there too. I'll go to the Xiang Zhu Palace first. Now Ning Qian and Lady Hui are all there. I've just provoked the empress, so I'll make it."

Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment and nodded slightly, Well, I'll go greet his majesty and then pick you up at the Xiang Zhu Palace."

Yun Shang agreed and separated from Luo Qingyan, walking towards the Xiang Zhu Palace. When she walked to the imperial garden, she came across Hua Yutong. She must have also come to pay respects to the empress, and looked a little nervous.

When she saw Yun Shang, Hua Yutong walked up to her quickly. "Have you come here to greet the empress?"

Yun Shang nodded and looked back. She frowned and said, "Isn't the seventh prince with you?"

Said Hua Yutong, shaking her head. With a sad look on her face, she forced a smile and said, "His Highness has gone to the Taiji hall."

Yun Shang thought about it for a while. The empress must have been pissed off by Luo Qingyan and her just now. If Hua Yutong goes to her palace at this time, the empress will certainly be in a bad mood. This is the first time that Hua Yutong pays respect in the imperial palace as a concubine of the seventh prince...

Yun Shang thought for a while and said gently, "I just came out of the Wei Yang Palace. The empress has just woken up from a nap. I'm afraid that she is not in a good mood. If you want to greet her, you'd better ask the seventh prince to go with you later."

Hearing that, Hua Yutong was stunned. She kept silent for a long time. Then she nodded. "Thank you for reminding me. I see."

Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "I'm going to the Xiang Zhu Palace. Do you want to go with me?"

The unexpected reply from Yun Shang caught the attention of Lin Youran. With a look of surprise, she said in a hurry, "Thank you, Lady Rui."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Lady Xian, who had been listening carefully beside, looked at Yun Shang and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the baby in your belly is quiet. It seems that you don't have any morning sickness."

Yun Shang said smilingly, "I have been exhausted the passing days. I just feel better now." After saying that, she took a glance at the hairpin with lotus flower on her hair, and her eyes flashed with amazement. "The hairpin on your hair is quite beautiful."

Hearing that, Lady Xian was in a daze for a moment. Then she lifted the hand to hold the hairpin and said with a triumphant smile, "Lady Xiang also said so. To be honest, this hairpin is from Qianshui Pavilion you like. My mother has asked the shopkeeper to make it for me and send it to the palace. Their jewelries are as good as those in the palace. Besides, the style is quite new, which is very good, "

Hearing this, Yun Shang said in surprise, "Wow, it's a customized jewelry. No wonder I've never seen it before."

After they chatted for a while, the others stood up and left. Now there were only three of them in the palace, Yun Shang, Ning Qian and Lin Youran. Yun Shang looked at Lin Youran carefully and said with a smile, "Now that everyone in the imperial household is watching your baby, you should be careful."

Lin Youran nodded and stood up in a hurry, "I got it."

"You don't need to bow in the palace. Everything goes by the rules here. There are eyes everywhere in the palace. It will be bad if someone sees that." Yun Shang sipped her tea and said peacefully.

Ning Qian smiled and fixed her eyes on Lin Youran's belly. She continued, "This baby is probably a thorn in the empress' heart. She just can't wait to pull it out. Do you know that his majesty went to the Xiang Zhu Palace to see Youran after the banquet was over yesterday? This morning, I was told that the empress lost her temper in the Wei Yang Palace last night, and that all her servants were forced to kneel down outside the palace for a whole night in such a cold weather."

After a pause, she continued, "Since Youran has been pregnant, normally she should've promoted. His majesty also mentioned it yesterday, but the empress claimed illness this morning, probably unwilling to affix her seal on the edict."

Yun Shang wasn't surprised at the Ning Qian's words. "The Empress always feels imperial household is under her control all the time, so the sudden thing out of her control makes her unhappy. She wanted to recommend Zhao Xianwu to the emperor yesterday, but before she could speak it out, we interrupted her. I'm afraid the empress is filled with pent-up anger. But she couldn't pretend it for a long time. She was a model of the imperial household, and she dared not to act jealous in any case. Within three days, she had to be submissively stamped with a phoenix mark on the edict, and also pretend to be happy. She won't make any trouble publicly, but I'm afraid that she might do something secretly. "
