An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1177 To See Him Or Not

The weather was getting colder, so the Shangyi Bureau sent several more clothes over here.

"I like the clothes made by the new steward of the Shangyi Bureau," Yun Shang reclined on the couch,

flipped it over and said, "Unlike the clothes made by the Shangyi Bureau before, who always tried to

pursue luxury and the color was always bright, while the embroidery on them was either a phoenix or a

peony, or flowers in full bloom and auspicious clouds. It was beautiful, but it was really tacky. Besides,

in order to pursue a beautiful look, the clothes didn't feel comfortable.

The clothes sent by the Shangyi Bureau are different now. They are beautiful and pleasant. They are

elegant and noble, and the fabric they use is comfortable. It's very attractive and comfortable. "

Hearing Yun Shang's comments, Hua'er couldn't help laughing, "If the new steward of Shangyi Bureau

knows you praise her like this, she will be very happy."

"She had done a good job. Of course she deserves my praise," Yun Shang waved her hand casually,

"Next time you see her, you can tell her what I said."

"Yes, your majesty."

Yun Shang raised her hand and asked the servants to take those clothes away.

Qian Yin came in from the outside. Shewalked to Yun Shang], knelt down and massaged her legs while

reporting, "Your Majesty, Qian Yin sent a message from outside the palace that the seventh master of

the Cao clan passed a message through our spy that he wanted to see you and discuss something

with you."

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and smiled, "He wants to see me? He has something to discuss with me? Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"

Qian Zhuo nodded, "Your Majesty seems to be very concerned about the Cao clan's affairs recently.

Will you see him or not?"

"No," without any hesitation, Yun Shang replied, "I'm not a member of the Cao mansion. How could I

agree to meet him so easily?"

Qian Zhuo was a little surprised, "But he said there was something important. Your majesty, you really

don't want to hear what important thing it might be?"

"Cao Han is just a son of a concubine who is not favored by the Cao clan. He is not as useless as he

seems. The only thing he has been paying attention to is the affairs of the Cao clan. The Cao clan is

one of the eight noble clans in the Jin City, but if they take any action together with other clans, I should

be able to receive the news sooner or later. Therefore, the most important thing he talked about was

mostly about the Cao clan.

If it's only about the Cao clan, no matter how important it is, it's not a big deal to me,"

Yun Shang turned a page and went on, "In that case, it doesn't matter whether I see him or not. But I

should let him know that I'm the Empress, not someone he can see as he wants. I think highly of him

when I see him. It's not a big deal for me to not see him. "

"Yes, I see, your majesty," hearing Yun Shang's words, Qian Zhuo nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll

return him in this way."

Yun Shang said yes, and then ordered Qian Zhuo, "Lord Hua Guo's birthday is coming. Go to the

storehouse and see if there is anything we can use as a gift. Make a list for me and I'll pick something.

I'll take them to Lord Hua Guo's mansion then."

Qian Zhuo nodded and responded.

Yun Shang didn't meet the seventh master of the Cao clan. Two days later, the detailed information

about everyone in the Cao clan as well as the marriage relationship were put on Yun Shang's desk.

Perhaps it was because the Cao clan and its collateral relatives were too large that there were four

pamphlets of them on Yun Shang's desk.

It took Yun Shang three days to read them one by one. Then she quickly constructed a family map of

the Cao clan in her mind.

And she found out something wrong with the pamphlet Cao Han had sent to her.

"As I expected, the Cao clan has something to do with Cao Wenxi.

Cao Wenxi was very cautious. If I only investigate the wives of the men of the Cao clan, it won't be a

big deal. Fortunately, Qian Yin spent some more time to include all the concubines of those men of the

clan, and then we found the problem," said Yun Shang.

Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang curiously, "What problems?"

Yun Shang smiled, "The maids in the palace can be released when they are twenty-five years old. But

most of the maids who serve the concubines are not willing to leave the palace because they have

already been first-class maids and have a good life in the palace, and they are favored.

But Cao Wenxi has been living in the imperial household for so many years, and the people around her

have been changed one after another. Each of her maids chose to leave the palace after reaching the

age of twenty-five. And they all became the concubines of the Cao clan's men after leaving the palace.

"

Yun Shang smiled coldly, "Even if the people in the Cao mansion have nothing to do with the Cao clan,

this alone is very unusual. Besides, I have found something else interesting. "

"Yes? What is it? " asked Luo Qingyan.

"A daughter of a collateral branch of the Cao clan was sent to Xia Houjing as a concubine. Cao Zhan's

grandfather used to change his name, and his previous name was the same as that of a disciple from

the collateral branch of the Cao clan, " replied Yun Shang.

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Cao Zhan's grandfather?

If my memory serves me right, Cao Zhan is already more than 40 years old? His grandfather should

have died a long time ago. How did you find out something in that generation? "

Yun Shang smiled, "When the spies were investigating, they copied a family tree of the Cao clan, so I

checked it carefully."

Luo Qingyan nodded, "So the Cao clan should be the branch of the former one, right? Perhaps Cao

Zhan's grandfather had changed his name for some unknown reason, so he escaped from the disaster.

Later, Cao Wenxi found the branch on purpose, and she secretly supported it. "

Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "To be honest, I really admire Cao Wenxi's scheming. She changed her

appearance and sent herself to the palace to have children with His Former Majesty. She also

supported the branches of the Cao clan and made it become one of the eight noble clans in the Jin

City. She supported the survivors of the Cao clan to be promoted to the golden palace. Now she even

let them show up in front of you openly and want to put them on our side.

If I were her at that moment, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do that."

Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and said, "You won't end up like her."

"You are right," Yun Shang answered smilingly, "After all, I still have your majesty."

Luo Qingyan nodded without hesitation, "Yes, you have me."

Then he added, "Since Cao Han is trying to get close to you, you can let him be. We can also see what

they want to do. "
