Chapter 651 Scheming


    The seventh Prince didn''t seem to have the slightest idea to continue to pretend in front of Yun Shang.


    He sneered, "I admit that I was not as good as Luo Qingyan when we were in the State of Ning, or


    even worse than you. But It was just because you have been in the State of Ning for many years with a


    deep foundation and have some advantages. You should havee to the State of Xia andpeted


    with me. That thing should belong to me. How could I let you take it away so easily? "


    Yun Shang burst intoughter as if she had just heard a big joke. It was only after a while that she


    opened her mouth and said, "Really? Belong to you? Your highness is always a good actor, but your


    acting is so good that the emperors and courtiers thought you were really in poor health. Don''t you


    know that a country can ept an ordinary emperor, but not an emperor who is extremely weak and


    could die at any time, even if he is talented and bold?"


    The seventh prince shivered and stared at Yun Shang.


    "Because the former makes people disappointed, and thetter could make people in despair at any


    time." Yun Shang turned to the seventh prince and smiled faintly, "Your Highness, you may also feel


    that you are popr, but I want to tell you a truth. That is, themoners don''t have so much spare


    time to care about who the emperor is, and they are more interested in whether they are safe and


    The seventh prince frowned and his hand trembled. Yun Shang pulled her cloak tighter, and touched


    the white fox fur on it with a smile. Her smile became gentler. "Besides, I don''t think Prince Rui is


    inferior to your highness. As for the support of the officials... "


    Seeing a maid walking towards them slowly, Yun Shang turned around and said quickly, "Most officials


    of the court support the one favored by the emperor."


    Then she went to Lady Hua Guo''s yard without looking back.


    Lady Guo and Hua Yutong were no longer in the yard. The maid said that Lady Hua Guo felt cold in the


    yard, so they went back to the room. When Yun Shang entered the room, she saw Lady Hua Guo


    sitting on a rosewood chair, and Hua Yutong squatted in front of her, pointing at the piece of embroidery


    cloth on her knees.


    Yun Shang deliberately made some noise from the jade pendant pressing on the hemline of her dress.


    Both of them looked up. When Lady Hua Guo saw Yun Shang, she smiled and said, "Shang''er,e


    here. Do you like the fabric?"


    Yun Shang smiled and walked quickly towards it. It was a piece of material embroidered with peony,


    which was lifelike and beautiful. The color added a sense of solemnity to it.


    "I don''t know much about embroidery. It''s difficult for me to judge whether it''s good or not, but as an


    outsider, I think the peony is very beautiful and the cloth makes it look even more dignified." Yun Shang


    smiled softly.


    "You are not good at needlework, but quite good atments. You have said all the good words. I


    don''t know from whom you are so sweet talking." Lady Hua Guoughed out loud as she spoke. She


    put the embroidery cloth aside, and asked a maid to bring Yun Shang and Hua Yutong two chairs. Then


    she held Yun Shang''s hand and asked, "How could your grandfather be willing to let you go?"


    Yun Shang smiled, "Maybe he thinks I''m not good at chess."


    "That''s how he is. He always likes to be arrogant with his sharp tongues and has always felt that no


    one''s chess skills are better than his. But I know, if he really had thought you are bad at it, he couldn''t


    have yed chess with you." Said Lady Hua Guo with a smile.


    Hua Yutong nodded her head and smiled, "Yes. The other day when I just came back, his lordship let


    me y chess with him. After that, he never yed with me again."


    Yun Shang chuckled, "I''ve never seen Yutong belittle herself like this."


    Lady Hua Guo looked at them, smiled, and thought for a moment before she whispered, "You two are


    about the same age, and now you have be sisters. Just have more contact and help each other


    when needed. It''s not easy to be in royal family. It''s also good to have a friend who can take care of


    you. "


    Yun Shang raised her head and looked at Hua Yutong. She thought that since Lady Hua Guo said so, it


    must mean that Hua Yutong was trustworthy. After a short consideration, she nodded and said, "Of


    course."


    Lady Hua Guo nodded with a smile. Then she seemed to have recalled something, and asked Yun


    Shang, "By the way, didn''t the seventh prince go with you to the study? Why didn''t hee back?"


    "Eh?" Yun Shang raised her head and looked around. Then she said with doubt, "The seventh prince


    came back with me just now. I felt it was too cold outside, so I walked a little faster. But he should have


    arrived."


    Hearing this, Hua Yutong stood up and said, "Let me have a look."


    Lady Hua Guo nodded. As she watched Hua Yutong walk out of the room, she took Yun Shang''s hand


    and asked, "I heard that the seventh prince asked the Vice Minister of Ministry of Justice to search your


    mansion. What happened? Why did youe into conflict with the seventh prince? "


    Yun Shang saw the concern on Lady Hua Guo''s face and felt warm in her heart. She smiled, "It''s not a


    big deal. You know the incident happened to his concubine a few days ago? In fact, Liu Chuchcu


    wasn''t married to the seventh prince that day. It was just a trap. The seventh prince wanted to trap us.


    When we investigated this matter, we took Liu Chuchu into our mansion, but we didn''t expect her to


    excuse and let the Vice Minister of Ministry of Justice search our mansion. But we dodged it. "


    Lady Hua Guo frowned as she heard Yun Shang''s words. After a while, she said, "The seventh prince


    is a scheming man. Your grandfather also knows that well. He might be the most powerful opponent for


    Qingyan. However, your grandfather has retired for a long time, and has little attention to state affairs.


    Now I''m afraid it''s hard for him to defeat the seventh prince in a short time. We knew that it''s impossible


    for anydy from the three major ns to be selected by his majesty, so we sent Yutong to the


    selection. It seemed that Yutong was the one we wanted to send into the pce. In fact, our real


    purpose was to marry her into the seventh prince''s mansion. "


    Yun Shang was surprised. She had never thought of that before.


    "The seventh prince''s mansion?" Yun Shang said with puzzlement, "But, it is obvious that Yutong works


    for us. Although the seventh prince was forced to marry her, he must have taken precautions..."


    "The seventh prince is so on the alert. How could she do anything?" Lady Hua Guo smiled.


    Yun Shang nodded.


    Lady Hua Guo patted Yun Shang on her knees, and said with a smile, "I heard you''ve sent ady to the


    pce? Is she Lady Hui who was diagnosed pregnant by you during the imperial feast? "


    Yun Shang nodded, with puzzlement in her eyes. Why did Lady Hua Guo mention Lady Hui?


    "Lady Hui has received much attention since she entered the imperial pce. The empress is well


    aware that Lady Hui works for you. She is trying to get rid of her. What the use of Lady Hui in such a


    situation? " Asked Lady Hua Guo.


    Yun Shang suddenly realized what Lady Hua Guo mean. When the seventh prince is on the alert


    against Hua Yutong, other people could take this opportunity to get his trust.


    Lady Guo smiled and squinted at Yun Shang, "I''ve heard that Yutong asionally go to your mansion


    to chat with you. I''m sure you know what kind of person she is. Everyone knows that his lordship and I


    nned to send Yutong into the pce. Just think about it, Do you believe that we could send an


    innocent girl into the pce?"


    Yun Shang was puzzled again. "Grandma, you mean that Yutong..."


    "Yutong is indeed a straightforward girl" Lady Hua Guo burst intoughter. "But the seventh prince


    couldn''t think so. He only believes that Yutong is putting on a show. He will keep an eye on Yutong, and


    the more he tail, the more he knows what Yutong has done. On the contrary, he will think that Yutong is


    a scheming woman and then pay more attention to her. So that''s the best chance."


    Yun Shang''s eyes lit up, "Moreover, I have just said to the seventh prince that neither his majesty nor


    the officials in the court will ept a man without a descendant to take the throne..."


    Lady Hua Guoughed out loud again. "Haha... Maybe you have done us a great favor by chance. But


    don''t provoke the seventh prince this way next time. He has a bad heart. "


    Hearing her words, Yun Shang felt relieved and admired Lord Hua Guo and Lady Hua Guo even more.


    As the old saying goes, The older the wiser. After so many years in the Jin City, even if he retired, he


    could still keep a invincible position.


    "Ahem!" The maid at the door coughed, and Yun Shang was confused. Before she could react, she


    heard Lady Hua Guo changed the topic, "Now you''ve just been pregnant for two months. It will be the


    hottest time when you give birth to the baby. Besides, it''s not so convenient for you to stay in


    confinement of childbirth. You''d better prepare in advance. By the way, have you arranged nannies? "

    Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "Yes, yourdyship. His highness has brought nannies into the


    mansion. Grandmother is right. Having nannies is of great importance. I don''t know anything about it,


    and thanks to them. "


    "That''s good." Lady Hua Guo smiled.


    "Your Highness." The maid greeted the seventh prince at the door. Yun Shang lifted her eyes to cast a


    nce at Lady Hua Guo. Then she realized that the maid must be sending a message to them just


    now.
