Chapter 459 Imperial Household''s Strife (Part One)
Yun Shang meditated for a moment and understood Lady Hua Guo''s meaning. She nodded her head,
"I know."
Lady Hua Guo responded, "but the older they are, and the more minds they have. What they said is not
all true, so you have to verify what they said carefully. As for the younger ones who are about the same
age as you, some of them are a little older than you. They can''t make decisions at home but act
arrogantly in their own yard. They are always thinking about whether their husbands had a new
beautiful concubine, whose side concubine was pregnant, and which shop had new make ups. It''s easy
for you to get close to them. Just give them what they want. They are not soplex. The words they
say are mostly true, but very few of them are of value. "
Yun Shang replied in a low voice. In her previous life, she had asionally got together with those
women in the backyard. But at that time, she took advantage of her high status and ignored them, she
had been so arrogant that she had made themugh at her and gloated when she was miserable. In
this life, because of Prince Jing''s years of military service, she didn''t know much about people in the
imperial city and had little chance to have a good chat with those women in the backyards. Although
Lady Hua Guo just said a few words, they are the most useful thing she had learned and summarized
after her years of life as a wife.
"Happy to see you, Lady Hua Guo." A maid passed by them and bowed to Lady Hua Guo, and Lady
Hua Guo smiled back at the maid and nodded her head.
Along the long corridor, she saw a lot of people in the garden, including several daughters-inw and
granddaughters inw of Lord Hua Guo''s mansion. Children also yed around, and it was
much more lively than the greenhouse.
Yun Shang saw Princess Tai An at first sight. Today she only wore a long cyan dress and a jade hairpin
in her hair. It was a simple and pure hairpin. She was simpler than she usually was. Yun ShangN?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
recalled just now when Prince Chun Xiang''s wife mentioned Princess Tai An and said she was a
malicious one. But now she didn''t live up to her nickname by the look.
"Sister-inw, sister-inw." When Yun Shang was thinking about it, she saw five or six kids
surrounded her. They were all princes and princesses. On the contrary, Princess Qian Ling looked
unhappy. She walked up to Yun Shang sulkily and held Yun Shang''s hands without a word.
The women present were all young women and youngdies, who didn''t attend banquets nor knew
Yun Shang. They all whispered in each other''s ears while looking at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang didn''t care much about their gaze. She took the children to sit down, and called the maids
to give them the candied fruit. Then she turned around and asked Qian Ling, "what''s wrong? Who
irritated our Princess Qian Ling? "
Qian Ling kept silent for a while and answered, "The 19th prince is ill."
Yun Shang froze for a moment at her words, and turned to look at the children here. The 19th prince
was indeed not here. Then she asked in a low voice. "Do you know what kind of illness he has?"
Qian Ling shook her head. "I don''t know. But he is hot all over his body. My mother didn''t allow me to
see him, and she said that she was afraid of the sickness to give me. However, I overheard a maid
talking to my mother, saying that the 19th prince''s pce had called several imperial physicians to
Thinking of the little boy who was held by Princess Qian Ling and asked her for cakes, Yun Shang also
felt a little sad about it. She sighed for a moment and said, "I''ll send you back to the pceter. And
I''ll take this opportunity to see the neen prince. Then I''lle and tell you how''s it going. Is it all
right?"
Hearing this, there was a sh of light in Qian Ling''s eyes. She said with a smile, "Sister-inw, you are
the best."
Yun Shang smiled and brought the candied fruit to her, saying gently, "did aunt Tai An bring you here?"
Qian Ling nodded her head and said, "aunt Tai An has been a little strange recently. She often came to
visit us and brought us many gifts. They were almost bribed by her, but I still don''t like her."
Yun Shang looked at Princess Tai An secretly and found that Princess Tai An seemed to be in a daze.
After a moment''s silence, Yun Shang turned to Qian Ling and asked, "what did your mother say about
it?"
Although Qian Ling was only twelve years old, she was as smart as a young adult. She moved close to
Yun Shang''s ear carefully and said, "my mother told me that the food she gave should be stored in
secret and not eaten."
Yun Shang was silent for a moment before she whispered to Qian Ling in a low voice, "you have drunk
my blood before. My blood is not immune to all poison, but it''s almost the same. It''s not a big deal to
eat some of the food she gives. If you don''t eat anything every time, you''re too obvious. Save some
each time and eat some. "
After being poisonedst time, Qian Ling had been obedient to Yun Shang. Hearing this, she nodded
her head happily. Then she touched her hair and said: "but I still have to have a word with my mother."
Yun Shang nodded her head with a smile, "of course you should."
"What are Lady Rui talking about with Princess Qian Ling?" A woman said with a smile, "this is the first
time we meet Lady Rui. We need to have a good chat."
Yun Shang looked up and saw ady in rouge and pink looking at her. Before she could say anything,
Princess Qian Ling said, "I''m discussing with my sister-inw what to eat in Prince Rui''s mansion
tomorrow. Don''t interrupt."
