Chapter 686 Trouble Again On The Border


    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 ck and blue


    all over. Suddenly, she realized they had nned to y 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 g, and Xiao Yuanshan took the blue one.


    On each g was written all kinds of things that would be used in the battlefield, including generals,

    Lady Hua Guoughed 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 eximing, "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 Pce the other day?"


    Yun Shang nodded gently and replied, "As we all know inside and outside the pce, Lady Hui came


    from Prince Rui''s mansion. But Lady Xian still did harm to her. I should protect Lady Hui. Otherwise,


    she will have a hard time in the future. And it''s sometimes necessary to punish someone as a warning


    to others in the future."


    Lady Hua Guo sighed, "There are many concubines who are not favored by any power, but you just


    chose Lady Xian. Although in her family there is no official in the imperial court, her family is the richest


    in Jin City, and Wang Congwen is always on the side of her family. You have offended him too by


    punishing Lady Xian this time. Why should you do that? "


    Yun Shang understood Lady Hua Guo''s worries and said smilingly, "Please don''t worry, Granny. I am


    confident about myself since I dared to do that. And as for Wang Congwen, I''m afraid I''ve already


    offended him a lot. It doesn''t matter if I had one more action this time. "


    Lady Hua Guo didn''t quite understand, but since Yun Shang was confident about herself, she couldn''t


    ask anything more. Things had happened and if she kept on entangling in them, she would be very


    annoying.


    After a moment''s silence, Lady Hua Guo changed the topic, "The emperor summoned his lordship


    yesterday. I''m afraid that he''ll set out with his troops soon."


    "Go out to war?" Yun Shang was surprised. "But I didn''t hear anything about the war?"


    Lady Hua Guo smiled bitterly and said, "No, there isn''t any war at all. The State of Yng has just


    changed a new emperor recently. He is quite ambitious and always dispatched people to make troubles


    at the border of the two countries. His majesty has already ordered his lordship to lead his soldiers to


    intimidate trouble-makers. Indeed, it is not a good fight. Those who will suffer in the battle are ordinary


    people. However, if our people are bullied, we should teach them a lesson. "


    Yun Shang frowned hearing this. Since Hua Jing died, she hadn''t paid attention to the State of Yng


    for a long time. She didn''t know that it had changed its emperor. "Who is the new emperor of the State


    of Yng?" she asked.


    "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


    Yng.


    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 ites 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 cane 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 be more daring these days. Although I don''t pay much


    attention to state affairs, I sometimes gather with thedies of the ministers. Some of thedies 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


    ufortable, but if he wins the battle, it will be good for Qingyan, too."
