An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1169 Life Needs Some Freshness

"But let's make a deal first. Once Chengye's training starts, you should keep strong-minded especially

when he can't stand it and comes to you to complain tearfully. If you are softhearted and I can't bear

your plea, all my arrangements will be in vain, " said Luo Qingyan.

Yun Shang raised her eyes and glared at him, "Am I such an unreasonable person in your Majesty's

mind?"

"How could it be?" Luo Qingyan smiled, "In my eyes, Shang'er is the most reasonable person. But I

think it's difficult for parents to stick to their own principles when facing their children. But since

Shang'er have said so, I will reluctantly believe you this time. "

Yun Shang gritted her teeth and pinched Luo Qingyan's arm.

The smile on Luo Qingyan's face widened. He raised his hand to touch her hair and said, "I'll ask the

secret guards to search carefully for the children who are strong in body and it's better they are

orphans having nothing to worry about. They can also be the homeless beggars. We'll gather them

together. They will go through the selection first and then they will be trained together with Chengye.

As for Hua Qingyan, Qsince the Lord Hua Guo's mansion wants to send him here. We might just

accept him. Just as you said, he is not bad to be a playmate for Chengye. As for whether he can really

become a person that Chengye trusts and helps him in the future, it depends on himself.

Not only Hua Qingyan, but also the children of the people you trust, like the daughter of Wang Jinhuan,

and the children of Luo Yi. If you want, you can let them follow Chengye."

Yun Shang nodded, "I know. I'll see to it."

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Well, let's stop talking about it. Let's have dinner first."

"Dinner?" Yun Shang blinked and didn't know what to do, "What time is it now? Is it time for dinner? "

Luo Qingyan laughed. He held Yun Shang's head with both hands and turned her around. He pointed

at the rows of sand clocks on the table and said, "It's almost noon now, my Empress."

Yun Shang came to her senses and said, "It's so late."

Looking at Yun Shang's confused expression, Luo Qingyan's smile became softer, "I thought my arrival

could have reminded you of the current time. I didn't expect that you didn't realize what I was doing

after talking to me for a long time."

Yun Shang rubbed her forehead and apologized, "I am sorry."

Then she called out to the maids.

"But even though I'm too busy to remember the time, the servants will never forget it," as she said, she

saw Pei Lan come in and asked, "Are you ready for lunch?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. We are waiting for your majesties to deliver the meal," Pei Lan

replied.

With a complacent smile, Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan and said, "See? What did I say? Even if I

forget it, the servants will never forget it. Do you like the dishes to be set now, your majesty? "

"Okay, go ahead."

After lunch, Luo Qingyan didn't leave immediately. He just chatted with Yun Shang with a cup of tea in

his hand.

"Your Majesty, have you settled everything in the court? Your majesty seems not as busy as before

these two days, " Yun Shang asked.

Luo Qingyan nodded and said, "It's indeed better than before. At least I have some clues about

everything. There are people in important official positions of the court. The special imperial

examination has formed some rules, and I'm a little relaxed."

Yun Shang blinked her eyes and said, "Your majesty used to say that you would arrange someone you

could trust in the important official posts in the court., but can you have so many people to be

arranged?"

"Umm..." Luo Qingyan lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea," We have been in the Jin City for several

years. In the past few years, I have also planted some people in the court. At the beginning, these

people were arranged in some inconspicuous positions. In the past two years, they have been

promoted step by step, and gradually they can take some responsibilities and make some political

achievements.

For example, the Zhuangyuan and Tanhau in the last imperial test were arranged to work in other This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

places. This time after that incident, it is not too abrupt to transfer them back to some positions I want

to place."

"The Zhuangyuan and Tanhua in the last imperial test?" Yun Shang squinted her eyes and

remembered, "The Zhuangyuan seems to be called Du Houjun, and the Tanhua is called Hua Kang? I

still remember that the name of the Tanhua was the same as Shen Yilan's husband's. I have some

impression on it. "

"Yes," Luo Qingyan nodded, "The Tanhua has changed his name. It's Hua Ze'an.

As for this Zhuangyuan and Tanhua, I have sent them to the other places to work before. They all have

real power, but they were not high-level official positions, so they did not attract too much attention. A

few days ago, I issued an imperial edict to appoint Du Houjun as the grand Councilor of the agriculture

department, and to appoint a post of Yi Cao for Hua Ze'an. Then I called them back to the Jin City. "

Yun Shang nodded, "It's not easy for them to pass the imperial test and get the scholarly honour out of

so many competitors. Naturally, they should be placed in a suitable position."

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Don't worry. Before the enthronement ceremony and your grand ceremony are

held next month, I will definitely settle this matter."

Yun Shang responded. As Luo Qingyan mentioned the ceremonyr, she thought of another thing, "By

the way, both the ceremonies will be held soon. The Shangyi Bureau has also prepared the dresses for

it, and the evening dresses for the imperial banquet are also being made. When will your majesty get

free? I'll ask the Shangyi Bbureau to send the dress to the Taiji Palace for you to have a try first to see

if it fits you. "

Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and turned to Yun Shang, "Well, when will your majesty try on the

clothes?"

"I can't tell your majesty about it this time," Yun Shang replied smilingly.

"Why not? Do you have to hide it from me? Even if you keep it a secret, I will at last see it on the grand

ceremony, " Luo nQingyan answered.

However, Yun Shang shook her head and didn't budge at all, "You'll have to wait and see at that time.

I'll keep it mysterious. If your majesty has seen it now, it will be no longer fresh on the grand ceremony.

"

Luo Qingyan couldn't help but push, "What kind of rule is this?"

"It's not a rule," Yun Shang smiled, "I just feel that life needs some freshness. Just like a newly married

woman, she has to put a veil over her head before the wedding, so that when the bridegroom lifts the

veil, they both will have a strange and amazing feeling... "

"Well?" Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "A newly married woman, a bride? A bridegroom? Bridal

chamber? "

Yun Shang sensed the teasing tone in Luo Qingyan's words, and quickly said, "I'm just making a

metaphor."

"Well, I understand what Shang'er means. Shang'er is right. Since ancient times, the grand ceremony

has indeed been like a wedding. Since it is a wedding, there must be a bridal room, " said Luo Qingyan

happily.

Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan and said, "I don't want to talk to your majesty anymore."

With that, she stood up and entered the inner hall.

When she walked to the door of the inner hall, she heard Luo Qingyan's low laughter from behind.

Yun Shang felt hot on her face. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, 'His majesty is so

shameless. I must pay no attention to him...' Four hours later, it was time for dinner again.
