Chapter 1150 Compromise And Approval


    Thinking of this, Yun Shang asked again, "When did Lady Lian send these things here? Did she ask


    someone to send them here or in person? "


    There were a lot of peopleing to deliver the gifts today, but the gift from Lady Lian was so special


    that Hua''er was deeply impressed, so she replied, "About an hour ago, it wasdy Lian who sent it here


    in person. She also told me that she specially sent someone to ask the Master of the Qinglian Temple

    to personally forge and consecrate it. It must be very efficacious."


    Yun Shang closed the pamphlet and sneered. Two hours ago, it was the time after she and Luo


    Qingyan left the Changting Garden.


    After they left, the secret guards must have dealt with those who stood behind Xia Houjing, and let the


    others go. Then Lady Lian returned to her pce, took her gift and sent it to the Jinxiu Pce.


    Yun Shang''s look was cold and prating. She had thought that Lady Lian had made a lot of


    mistakes in front of her before, and that she must be a spy ced by Xia Houjing in the imperial


    household.


    But she didn''t expect Lady Lian to be so interesting.


    In the Changting Garden, she should have clearly seen that Xia Houjing had an absolute advantage,


    but she remained unmoved when Xia Houjing asked his men to stand out.


    She had witnessed that the secret guards had dealt with Xia Houjing''s supporters in the pce, but


    she was still able to return to her own pce without fear and send her gifts.


    She was not giving her an ordinary gift, but a very meaningful and sensitive one.


    Wasn''t she afraid that Yun Shang would kill her in anger?


    Of course, Lady Lian was not afraid.


    No matter what, Yun Shang had never admitted that she was infertile.


    If it was true that because Lady Lian sent her a statue of Guanyin, the goddess of sending children,


    Yun Shang would be angry and get rid of one of the imperial concubines. She would seem to be trying


    to cover up something.


    "Your Majesty, should this gift be dealt with differently?" Hua''er asked cautiously.


    Yun Shang smiled and casually put the pamphlet aside saying, "No need. It''s just a gift. Just deal with it


    in the usual way. I haven seldom touched those gifts anyway. I''m afraid they will be only kept in the


    storehouse.


    Besides, there are so many people outside who are mocking me that I can''t have another baby any


    more. If I want to be angry, I''m afraid I will never be able to get out of it. "


    Hua''er nodded, "Then... are you going to send someone to keep an eye on Lady Lian? "


    Yun Shang shook her head, "No. Thanks."


    Lady Lian must have known that she had been exposed herself since the fire in the Weiyang Pce


    yesterday. She didn''t stand by Xia Houjing''s side today, so she had saved her life. Although she


    mocked Yun Shang secretly with the gift of the statue of Guanyin, she probably only dared tough at


    her in this way.


    Now that she knew the fact about her situation, she must be clear that no matter what she did, she was


    under Yun Shang''s watch, and Yun Shang would never trust her again. Therefore, at least for a short


    time, Lady Lian had to be quiet.


    Yun Shang didn''t say anything further. Hua''er stood aside, waiting for orders. Yun Shang slowly took a


    gift box from the table and opened it.


    The gift was from the old empress. It was a set of jewelry made of blood jade. The color was bright red


    and the workmanship was very exquisite. It was a rare treasure.


    His Former Majesty''s gift was a set of chessboard and chess pieces made of first-ss jade. The color


    was warm, and the sound was crisp and pleasant.


    These two gifts were made of excellent materials and workmanship. It was normal for the old empress


    to give her a gift, and it was beyond her expectation that His Former Majesty would also send her such


    a gift.


    His Former Majesty seemed to have some prejudice against her and disliked her all the time.


    At first, it seemed that it was because of her identity. Later, it was because of her health and Chengye.


    Although this gift was precious, it was not unique. However, the seemed to contain some special


    meaning inside: thepromise and approval to Yun Shang from Xia Huanyu.


    Yun Shang had been with Luo Qingyan from the State of Ning to the State of Xia for a long time. She


    had waited for thispromise and approval from Xia Huanyu for a long time, from a princess to the


    Crown Princess and atst to the present Empress.


    Although it didn''t seem to have much impact on Yun Shang whether Xia Huanyu epted her or not, it


    would be the best if she could get the approval of Xia Huanyu, who was Luo Qingyan''s father by blood.


    Yun Shang smiled and ordered Hua''er, "Show me this chessboard and the chess pieces. I haven''t


    yed chess with his majesty for a long time. When his majestyes back, I''d like to y a round


    with him."


    "Yes, your majesty." Hua''er took the gift box, found a table, and carefullyid out the chessboard and


    chess pieces on it.


    "Put the jewelry box aside so that I can wear it on any formal asions in the future," added Yun


    Shang.


    "Your Majesty, General Zhao is here,"


    a message came from outside. Yun Shang stood up and left the bedroom.


    A servant led Zhao Yingjie in. Zhao Yingjie hadn''t taken off his armor yet. He quickly walked to the hall


    and knelt down, "Greetings, your majesty."


    Yun Shang held Zhao Yingjie''s arm with a smile and helped him up, "Please rise, General Zhao.


    I haven''t seen General Zhao for a long time. Is everything okay?" Yun Shang said and sat down on a


    chair.


    "Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, your majesty."


    Yun Shang nodded, "That''s good. How is it going at the frontier?"


    "It has been peaceful for the time being since Cangjue Qingsu withdrew his troops. But there are still


    some soldiers of the the State of Yng moving around in the border area, and some disguised as


    ordinary people sneaking into the border city, as if they are seeking information.


    I have caught some of them, but I can''t get any information from the interrogation."


    Yun Shang was not surprised at all, "People like Cangjue Qingsu are always ambitious. He will not


    reconcile himself to failure. Although he lost this time, he will not give up easily. He wille back


    when the right time is found. "


    Zhao Yingjie nodded, "That''s also what I think, so I want to go back to the frontier when the Jin City is a


    little stable."


    "You don''t have to be in such a hurry." Yun Shang smiled, "I don''t think we need to worry too much this


    winter. Most of the ces in the the State of Yng is grasnd. Their biggest advantage in war is


    their strong horses and soldiers. They are very powerful.


    It''s just because it is in winter, the grass on the grasnd has withered, and there is ack of food. In


    addition, it is cold in the north, and neither the horses nor the people are in a good condition. It''s really


    asking for trouble for them to fight with us now."


    Zhao Yingjie thought for a while and praised, "Your Majesty, you are right."
