An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1178 Sleep Together

Yun Shang nodded, "I have the same plan, but I can't show too much eagerness, or else people will

suspect me about it. A few days ago, Cao Han passed the word that he wanted to see me and discuss

something important, but I refused. "

"You're right," Luo Qingyan knocked on the table with his finger and said, "You are the Empress. You

have a lot of affairs to deal with in the imperial household every day. How can you have so much free

time? He can't see you so easily."

Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang smiled, "Yes, your majesty and I have the same reason to

refuse."

"It means that we have a connection," Luo Qingyan teased seriously.

However, Yun Shang ignored him and said directly, "Your Majesty, you asked me two days ago about

the arrangement of Chengye's moving to the east palace. When are you going to do it?"

"Let's wait for the Crown Prince coronation to be held after the enthronement ceremony. Although the Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

imperial edict has been issued, we will feel that something is missing before the ceremony is carried

out," said Luo Qingyan.

Yun Shang nodded, "Okay."

Then she looked at Luo Qingyan and asked, "Is the East Palace being decorated? Have you selected

all the people who will go to the east palace with Chengye? "

"As for the people who will company Chengye, Shang'er, you'd better choose them in person. If the

people who will serve for Chengye are trustworthy, you can take them there directly. As for the servants

and guards in the palace will be selected from the secret guards to make sure everything goes well, "

Luo Qingyan said to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang asked, "How about the furnishings?"

"We haven't started to prepare them yet. Shang'er, what do you think about it?" inquried Luo Qingyan.

Yun Shang bit her lips and said, "Let the Imperial Household Department prepare these things secretly.

Qin Yi is in charge of the department. I feel relieved with her help. Moreover, the matter has not been

decided yet, and it is not appropriate to make a public announcement. If the news is spread out first,

perhaps someone will want to do something in the East Palace in advance. "

Luo Qingyan nodded, "I've sent my secret guards to keep an eye on the East Palace since the Crown

Prince's decree was issued. Don't worry, Shang'er."

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and then nodded slightly. But although she nodded, she couldn't

really set her mind at rest.

After all, it was her own child. No matter how careful she was, she still felt that she was not careful

enough. She was afraid that someone would take advantage of the matter.

Of course, Luo Qingyan knew what Yun Shang was thinking, but he couldn't comfort her. He changed

the subject, "When are you going to bring up the topic to invite Hua Qingyan to the palace to company

Chengye?"

Yun Shang meditated for a moment and said, "Let's wait until Chengye moves to the east palace.

At that time, we should choose a companion for him. And that makes sense when I go to Lord Hua

Guo's mansion for the birthday party and tell them about it. "

"Yes, that's a good idea," Luo Qingyan nodded in agreement and gently rubbed his forehead.

Seeing Luo Qingyan's subconscious action, Yun Shang said after a pause, "Although your majesty is

free these two days, you have been very busy for quite some time. You look tired. I think that's because

you didn't have a good rest. Your majesty, don't worry too much about these things. I will handle them

well. It's still early for dinner. You may as well go to bed first. "

Luo Qingyan nodded, but he looked up at Yun Shang silently without any meaning to stand up.

"What's the matter?" Yun Shang asked hurriedly.

Luo Qingyan smiled, "I'm going to lie down. Won't Shang'er accompany me?"

Yun Shang's face flushed. She glanced at Luo Qingyan and reminded, "Your Majesty, it's daytime now."

"So what? Don't you usually take a nap? "

Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang's wrist and pulled her up.

Yun Shang didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. She looked at the servants in the hall who were

lowering their heads and went on reminding him in a low voice, "Everyone is watching."

"Both of us are a little sleepy because of dealing with those messy affairs. We just have a rest together.

Is there anything wrong? The Emperor and the Empress are also human beings. They need to rest

when they are tired," replied Luo Qingyun calmly.

"……" Yun Shang didn't know how to answer it.

"And what's wrong with that? Isn't it a good thing that the Empress and the Emperor are in a good

relationship? " Luo Qingyun added.

Yun Shang felt more helpless, "You are talking nonsense."

Still she had to follow Luo Qingyan into the inner hall.

In the following few days, nothing important happened in the palace.

Lord Hua Guo's birthday was in the end of October. On the day of his birthday, Yun Shang and Luo

Qingyan left the palace together and headed straight for Lord Hua Guo's mansion.

It was not a small matter for the Emperor and the Empress to go out of the palace. Different from the

previous sneaking out of the palace, this time it was very grand and open for them to leave the palace.

As soon as both of them escorted by the guards of honor came out of the gate of the Imperial Palace

and headed for the Lord Hua Guo's mansion, news spread to the mansion. All the people in the

mansion immediately got ready and waited at their gate to welcome them.

There were a lot of guests coming for the celebration of Lord Hua Guo's birthday. It was such a

spectacular scene that many people there knelt on the ground.

Lord Hua Guo and Lady Hua Guo greeted the Emperor and the Empress.

"The male guests are all in the front yard, while the female guests are having a tea party in the

backyard. Your majesty, do you want to go to the front yard with his majesty or to the backyard?" Lady

Hua Guo asked Yun Shang with a smile.

With a smile on her face, Yun Shang replied, "I'm not interested in what the men are talking about. Let's

go to the backyard. Looking at the beautiful ladies, I'll be in a better mood. "

Hearing this, Lady Hua Guo said, "Then let me go to the backyard with you."

Yun Shang nodded, turned a look at Luo Qingyan, and went to the backyard with Lady Hua Guo.

"Today, the Lord Hua Guo's mansion is very lively. I think most of the officials in the court and the noble

families in Jin City have come, haven't they?" asked Yun Shang.

"Yes, your majesty," Lady Hua Guo answered smilingly, "Since the old princess came back, the

birthday party of Lord Hua Guo and mine have been particularly lively in the past two years, especially

in this year."

Yun Shang nodded. She knew when Hua Ling was missing, the Hua clan lost its support in the palace.

Naturally, some people were weathercocks and went far away from the Hua clan.

Later, however, Hua Ling came back and was loved by Xia Huanyu again. The higher the status of the

officials, the more they knew to observe people's words and expressions, so they naturally came back.

This year, Luo Qingyan ascended the throne, and he was Lord Hua Guo's grandson. Unlike the

Empress, the Emperor on the throne was really having the world in hand, so it was naturally more lively

this year for Lord Hua Guo's birthday party.

Lady Hua Guo glanced at Yun Shang and said, "Your majesties came today for these people, right?"

Yun Shang smiled, "Grandma, you are wrong. We are here to celebrate Grandfather's birthday. As for

the people who have come here today, they are just passing by. "
