Chapter 684 Turn Around


    Yun Shang felt time passed quickly as she spent the morning reading her ount books every day and


    slept in the afternoon. The Lantern festival arrived soon.


    Yun Shang was delighted at theing of the Lantern festival. On the day, Luo Qingyan intended to


    sleep more with Yun Shang, but Yun Shang got up early in the morning, but she didn''t read ount


    books as usual. Withoutbing her hair, she put on her cloak and stood outside with the thermos in


    her hands, watching the two madams directing the servants to hang thenterns.


    A variety ofnterns were all hung up such as golden fish shaped, rabbit shaped... They looked very


    interesting, full of childishness. Yun Shang couldn''t helpughing at this sight.


    As soon as Luo Qingyan went out, he saw Yun Shang looking up at thenterns and smiling happily.


    With a smile on his face, he went to Yun Shang and stroked her head, smoothing her slightly messy


    long hair, smiling, "What are you looking at? What makes you so happy?"


    Yun Shang turned to look at Luo Qingyan''s side face and said with a smile: "I am looking at the


    the pce are just about pce banquets, full of women who make themselves up gorgeously. Later, I


    was sent out of the pce. In fact, I stayed with grandfather most of the time, but there was no woman


    around him who could help manage all these things. And he himself didn''t care about these festivals.


    This is the first time in my life that I feel like I''m celebrating a festival."


    Hearing this, Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang into his arms and said with a smile, "Well, in that case, I


    have to thank you. If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t even know what the Lantern Festival is like."


    They stood under the eaves for a long time. After Qin Yi brought some food, they went into the room


    together.


    "Sweet dumplings are often served on the Lantern Festival in the State of Xia. And we have dumplings


    in the the State of Ning. so I have asked them to prepare both sweet dumplings and dumplings, you


    could eat whatever you like." Qin Yi took the food out of the box and ced them on the table.


    "The dumplings are stuffed with cabbages and meats, and sweet dumplings are filled with sesame


    seeds. Your highnesses, please have a try."


    Yun Shang ate a dumpling and nodded, "It''s very delicious." Then she put a sweet dumpling in her


    mouth and after a while, she stuck out her tongue and said, "So sweet."


    Qin Yi and Luo Qingyan looked at her andughed.


    "Your highness, you seemed very happy today." Qin Yi said gently.


    Yun Shang couldn''t helpughing, "Of course I''m happy. Today is the Lantern Festival, also a day for


    family reunion. My grandfather sent a message to me, saying that he will arrive at Jin city today."


    Hearing this, Luo Qingyan suddenly realized why Yun Shang was so excited today. It turned out that


    Xiao Yuanshan wasing.


    "I''m taking a day off. Let''s go to the suburb to pick up Grand Tutor Xiao." "Besides, I heard that there


    will be festiventern show and Dragon Dance Festival in the city today. I think it will be very lively. I


    can also go with you."


    Yun Shang red at Luo Qingyan and snorted, "I call you grandfather grandpa too. Shouldn''t you also


    call mine grandfather? How could just call him Grand Tutor Xiao."


    Seeing Yun Shang''s expression, Luo Qingyan couldn''t helpughing. "Really? But I remember you


    called me uncle when we were in the State of Ning? What? Grand Tutor Xiao has taught my brother


    and also gave me the elementary education. I''ve always called him teacher before, but it''s hard for me


    to call him grandfather. Even if I do, I guess Grand Tutor Xiao will not dare to respond."


    Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan''s smug face and kicked him under the table. She pretended to stare


    at him ferociously and took a bite of the dumpling, saying, "Uncle, eat your sweet dumplings."


    Luo Qingyan burst intoughter, which made Yun Shang re at him.


    After the breakfast, Qin Yi started to dress Yun Shang up. Yun Shang thought for a while and said,


    "Wear the clothes sent by Qian Shui yesterday. Pick one with a bright color."

    Qin Yi smiled, "Lord Xiao always like to see your highness dress like an auspicious doll." Then she


    dressed Yun Shang with a red dress embroidered with cloud pattern and then put a silver overcoat on


    her with faint cloud pattern. Walking as a gust of wind blew, Yun Shang looked very fluttering.


    Qin Yi also marveled at the clothes, "Qian Shui is really brilliant. Although the clothes don''t make you


    look slim, but they make you look like an otherworldly fairy."


    Yun Shangughed. "When we pass the Qianshui Pavilionter, you can walk in andpliment her.


    I''m afraid that she will be very proud of herself."


    Qin Yi couldn''t helpughing too. She took a look at Yun Shang''s dress, and with a second thought,


    she asked Yun Shang to sit in front of the dresser. "I''ll make you a bun to fit the dress. And put on two


    peach blossom hairpins. I''m sure you will be stunning. "


    Yun Shang saw that Qin Yi was in a good mood, so she just let her do. After that, she went to the study


    to look for Luo Qingyan.


    Luo Qingyan was surprised to see Yun Shang. It was a long time before he came to his sense. He


    walked up to Yun Shang and said, "I didn''t see you wear like this before. It''s gorgeous."


    Yun Shang red at Luo Qingyan. "Didn''t I look gorgeous before?"


    Hearing this, Luo Qingyan burst intoughter. "You are absolutely beautiful. My shang''er, you are so


    beautiful even if you don''t wear anything."


    Yun Shang flushed at his words. She gave Luo Qingyan a stare and said, "Let''s go."


    Luo Qingyan nodded and asked the servants to prepare the carriage first. He walked slowly towards


    the gate with Yun Shang.


    Thentern show would be held at night and there weren''t many people on the streets during the day.


    But there were all kinds ofnterns hanging everywhere. They were more different types than the ones


    hanging in the Prince Rui''s mansion. Yun Shang lifted up the curtain of the carriage and had a close


    look at them.


    "Thenterns haven''t been lit up in the daytime. When all of them were on in the evening, it will be


    stunning." Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang and held her waist, smiling.


    Yun Shang nodded, thought for a while and turned to him, "We are about to arrive at Qianshui Pavilion.


    Let the carriage stopter. I''ll tell Qian Shui to make a few more clothes like this for me."


    "Just ask the servant to tell her. You don''t have to do it yourself." Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang


    with a smile, Yun Shang shook her head, "I''m just passing by. Let me check if there''s any new good-


    looking jewelry."


    Luo Qingyan had no choice but to agree. He shook his head and sighed, "As the old saying goes,


    women always think their jewelries and clothes will never be enough."


    Yun Shang stuck her tongue out and turned around again.


    They stopped at Qianshui Pavilion after passing two streets. When Yun Shang got off the carriage, she


    saw thentern hanging in front of the gate of the shop. Although thentern was ordinary, the pattern


    was extremelyplicated. It looked like a rouge box, very unique and beautiful.


    "Thisntern is beautiful. Qian Shui, give me one. I will take it back to my mansion." Yun Shang


    shouted at Qian Shui.


    Only then did Qian Shui notice Yun Shang. She smiled and said, "I''ve made two morenterns. Take


    them with you."


    Yun Shang was about to speak when Qin Yi whispered in her ear, "Your highness, isn''t that the seventh


    princess?"


    Yun Shang turned around and saw that it was really Hua Yutong. She was walking out of a cloth shop


    with two maids.


    Yun Shang was so happy to see Hua Yutong that she waved to her, "Yutong."


    Hearing Yun Shang''s words, Hua Yutong turned around and saw her. She walked to Yun Shang and


    looked at the carriage beside her. She asked gently, "Where are you going?"


    Yun Shang said with a smile, "The Wanshou Festival ising in a few days. Many states have sent


    people to celebrate the birthday of his majesty. My grandfather has been sent by the State of Ning. We


    have discussed going out of the city to pick him up. When I passed by the shop, I wanted to pick up


    some jewelries here and asked the owner to make some clothes for me. "


    Luo Qingyan had also got off the carriage. He nodded at Hua Yutong and walked to Yun Shang. "Why


    are you standing at the door? Aren''t you going to choose jewelries?"


    Then Yun Shang took Hua Yutong with her into Qianshui Pavilion. "The jewelries and clothes in this


    shop are very beautiful. I often a frequent guest here. Since we happen to run into each other today,


    just tell me if there is anything you like. It seems that I have never given you gift."


    Hearing this, Hua Yutong smiled. "OK, if you insist."


    Qian Shui brought out thetest styles for Yun Shang and Hua Yutong. She cast a casual nce at


    Hua Yutong and said with a smile: "It should be your first time toe here. You can tell me the style


    you like."


    Yun Shang picked some hairpins, two pairs of earrings and a pair of bracelets and asked Qian Shui to


    wrapped them up for her. Then she ordered her to make a few more clothes for her.


    Hua Yutong strolled around the store and picked a jade hairpin with butterfly and flower pattern. Then


    she refused to pick more. Yun Shang knew that Hua Jing was a littleshy. So she didn''t make it clear to


    her. She just smiled and handed a pink peach blossom hairpin to Hua Yutong. "I think you must look


    very beautiful with this one. Do you like it?"


    Hua Yutong nodded. Yun Shang asked Qian Shui to wrap it together with the other one.


    They walked out of the shop after Qian Shui gave the items to them. They talked for a while and then


    Hua Yutong said goodbye and left. Yun Shang got on the carriage with Luo Qingyan. When they were


    about to set off, they saw Qian Shuie out of the shop and walk to the carriage. She whispered to


    Yun Shang, "Your highness, the young woman who bought the blue gemstone hairpins that day was


    the one who were with you just now..."
