An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 686

Yun Shang looked at her grandfather, who was stunned by Lord Hua Guo's words. She smiled and stood up while saying to them, "It's almost time for lunch. You two may fight against each other for this round. But after that, it's time to have lunch."

Lord Hua Guo waved at her and said, "Got it. Got it. You chatterbox." With that, he pulled Xiao Yuanshan's arm and asked Luo Qingyan where the martial arts performing field was. Luo Qingyan obeyed and hurriedly took them there.

Yun Shang looked at her grandpa being held tightly by Lord Hua Guo in his arm, and was worried about his poor strength. Lord Hua Guo was very strong, so her grandpa's arm might be black and blue all over. Suddenly, she realized they had planned to play chess at the beginning. Then why would they change to the martial arts performing field? Being worried, she hurried there to have a look.

Lord Hua Guo held Xiao Yuanshan's hand and ran quickly. Yun Shang and Lady Hua Guo were left behind. By the time Yun Shang and her partner arrived, both of them had already set up to start.

Yun Shang suddenly realized that the first round mentioned by Lord Hua Guo was actually a sandbox battle. Lord Hua Guo took the red small flag, and Xiao Yuanshan took the blue one.

On each flag was written all kinds of things that would be used in the battlefield, including generals, commanders, infantry, cavalry, even siege crossbows, siege shields and catapults.

Lady Hua Guo laughed too. She turned around and said to Yun Shang, "Let them be. Let's go back to the yard."

Yun Shang agreed and went back to the yard with Lady Hua Guo. There were several big boxes in the outer Hall of the yard. Qin Yi was tidying up the things one by one. The boxes were open. Yun Shang saw that there were indeed many small clothes inside, all of which were very cute. She smilingly picked one up randomly and couldn't help exclaiming, "It's so beautiful."

Lady Hua Guo turned around, and saw it was a red bellyband embroidered with a little tiger.

"Did Grand Tutor Xiao bring them here?" inquired Lady Hua Guo. She looked around the room and found nine boxes there. Five of them were full of small clothes of various styles and colours, which showed that the person sending them was very considerate.

Yun Shang nodded gently. "Yes. It's my mother who prepared them. Some of them used to be worn by my brother."

"It's good for the child to wear the clothes that used to be worn by others. There is a saying that this kind of child is easy to be raised," said Lady Hua Guo smilingly, "Lady Jin loves you very much. She has done a lot of preparation for these little clothes."

Yun Shang nodded, and entered the inner chamber with Lady Hua Guo.

As soon as they sat down, Qin Yi prepared a cup of tea for each of them. Lady Hua Guo asked Yun Shang lightly, "I heard that you sent Lady Xian into the Cold Palace the other day?"

"It's the third prince, Canjue Qingsu," sighed Lady Hua Guo, "I heard Qingsu used to get into a big trouble in the State of Ning. The old emperor should have punished him. Unexpectedly, Qingsu was so cruel that he killed his brothers and coerced his father to make a concession."

Hearing her words, Yun Shang smiled and said to herself, 'Cangjue Qingsu is indeed an old opponent.'.

She was not surprised that Qingsu was capable of doing such a thing. What surprised Yun Shang was that he dared to order people to make trouble on the border between the State of Xia and the State of Yelang.

He should know clearly that Luo Qingyan was now in the State of Xia. He was indeed more daring after he became the emperor. Yun Shang squinted her eyes and said with a slight smile, "When it comes to deterring enemies, I think His Highness is more suitable."

Lady Hua Guo patted Yun Shang on the hand and shook her head. "Of course, I've heard that Qingyan and Qingsu are sworn enemies. But if the war really starts, I don't know when they can come back. You are pregnant. I think Qingyan should stay in Jin City, "

pausing for a while Lady Hua Guo continued, "Moreover, Jin City is not so peaceful. the seventh prince is not a coward. In my opinion, he has become more daring these days. Although I don't pay much attention to state affairs, I sometimes gather with the ladies of the ministers. Some of the ladies were unable to keep their words well, so they boasted about how good terms the seventh prince and their husbands were on and that recently, they often drank and ate together."

Lady Hua Guo lowered her voice, "I suppose the seventh prince is getting more and more worried when he heard Qingyan is so influential in court. The situation in the court is also constantly changing. At this critical moment, how can Qingyan go away? Though your grandfather is old, he likes to do things in the war. So just let him go. If you let him spend all day in this court full of intrigue, he will feel uncomfortable, but if he wins the battle, it will be good for Qingyan, too."
