Chapter 1036 Draw Lots Ceremony (Part Two)


    After the "Draw lots" ceremony, the servants put away all the things, and then came the victory feast.


    After Liu Wenan announced the imperial edict and awarded the generals who had performed


    meritorious deeds in the battle, music started. In such a grand ceremony, festive songs and dances


    were inevitable.


    Seeing the excitement on Bao''er''s face had gone, and that he looked sleepy while yawning in her

    arms, Yun Shang asked Qian Zhuo to take Bao''er back to the Weiyang Pce.


    After three rounds of drinking, the generals became a little excited. Lin Shen took a ss of wine and


    stood up, "Thanks to her majesty, we can make a great victory this time. Her majesty carefully explored


    the terrain and found the stone forest. She set an all-sided ambush array." As Lin Shen spoke, he


    relied on some stones and trees only, but it caused the troops of Yng to lose more than 70000


    soldiers. Our army was at a disadvantage in the number of soldiers. Even after the reinforcements


    arrived, we were still fifty thousand soldiers fewer than the enemy. Relying on the all-sided ambush


    array, we suddenly became the one who had the advantage out of the disadvantage. "


    Lin Shen raised his ss and said, "If it weren''t for her majesty, I don''t know how many more generals


    and soldiers from the State of Xia would have been killed or wounded by the enemy. I''ll thank her


    majesty on behalf of all the soldiers and their families."


    Hearing Lin Shen''s words, the generals who had participated in the battle of the Lingxi City in the


    pce all stood up and said, "To the Empress."


    Yun Shang''s nose twitched slightly. She stood up, held her ss, and smiled, "I''m the mother of a


    country. This is what I should do. Thank you for your trust and support. Cheers."


    Yun Shang said without hesitation and drank up a full ss of wine.


    Seeing this, the other civil officials in the court looked at each other. They had already heard that the


    Empress had made a great contribution in this battle. But they had taken it as a rumor. Every time they


    heard it, they had given it with a smile. However, these soldiers had all experienced the war, so the civil


    officials had to believe what they said. Still, someone spoke out many people''s doubts, "Her majesty


    looks gentle and virtuous, but how can she be so brave?"


    Hearing this, Lin Shen turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who was speaking. He


    smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are wrong. The Empress is not valiant, but outstanding."


    Qian Jun replied, "We have a good Empress. In terms of talent, I''m afraid that no daughter of the


    officials in the court canpare with the Empress, and in terms of virtuousness, the Empress is rare.


    However, not every woman can kill the enemy in the battlefield and arrange the army. In the Imperial


    Pce, her majesty can govern the pce by virtue and make the imperial household peaceful. Her


    majesty can also lead the soldiers to kill enemies in the battlefield and give advice to protect the


    country and the people. "


    Yun Shang''s eyes were full of surprise. She wondered what was wrong with Qian Jun and Lin Shen


    today? Why did they keep praising her? They were now trying to praise her as the only one in the


    world.


    Luo Qingyan reached out and pinched Yun Shang''s hand. Yun Shang was stunned and turned around


    to look at Luo Qingyan. Seeing the smile in Luo Qingyan''s eyes, Yun Shang immediately understood.


    She also pinched Luo Qingyan back, but she couldn''t help smiling. Luo Qingyan!


    The consequence of the fight between civil officials and military officials was that Lin Shen began to


    vividly tell what had happened in Lingxi City these days. Everyone was listening with great interest, and


    even the pce music became an all-sided ambush.


    Yun Shang couldn''t helpughing. Only she and Luo Qingyan drank together.


    After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was just hot. Qian Zhuo hurried back to Yun Shang,


    bent down and whispered in her ear, "Your majesty, someone broke into the Weiyang Pce just now


    and was taken down by the secret guards."


    Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan heard clearly. Yun Shang was slightly stunned. She put down the ss in


    her hand, looked at Qian Zhuo and asked, "How many people are there?"


    "Two, and both are women. Judging from their dressing, they don''t seem to be from the pce."


    Yun Shang looked up at the happy people in the pce and nodded slightly, "Keep an eye on them. I''ll


    interrogate them when I go back to the pce."


    Qian Zhuo replied softly and left.


    The party didn''t end until the evening. Yun Shang was a little drunk. They went back to the the Weiyang


    Pce. Luo Qingyan was led to the study by Liu Wenan. Yun Shang asked Qian Zhuo to open the


    window. Along the way, Yun Shang was much sober. Now the night wind outside blew, and she was


    almostpletely sober.


    "Bring them in," Yun Shang whispered.


    Qian Zhuo ordered servants to bring them in. Yun Shang heard a woman''s voiceing from outside,


    which sounded very unhappy. "Let go of me. Do you know who I am?"


    Yun Shang smiled and looked up at the two people who came in. They were both dressed as maids,


    but the clothes were not the clothes of the servants in the pce. They should be the family members


    brought in by a master.


    Qian Zhuo sneered, "No matter who you are, you should salute the Empress."


    Hearing this, both of them raised their heads to look at Yun Shang. Qian Zhuo snapped, "How dare


    you! Can you look directly at the face of the Empress?"


    The woman standing on the left ignored her and ran to Yun Shang in a hurry. "Your Majesty, I''m here to


    see you."
