An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1281 Did His Majesty Really Say So

Liu Wenan was even more confused. What kind of woman was so troublesome?

Was his majesty talking about the Empress?

Did the Empress know it?

Liu Wenan remembered that Yun Shang had told him not to tell his majesty that she had been here, so

he had an answer in his heart. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw

the smile on Luo Qingyan's face, he coughed and whispered, "Your Majesty, her majesty is still waiting

for you in the Taiji Palace. Are you going there?"

Luo Qingyan suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously, "What are you doing? I have

something important to deal with here. Go and tell her majesty that I won't be there until a while later.

Just let her wait. Don't push me anymore. "

“……” Liu Wenan looked at Luo Qingyan speechlessly. He said yes in a low voice and left.

"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and smiled at Liu Wenan, "Did his majesty really say so?"

"Yes, your majesty." Liu Wenan only felt that he deserved to be trembling with fear.

However, Yun Shang didn't seem to be angry. Her face didn't change at all. She just nodded slightly

and said, "Okay, let the small kitchen heat the food first, and wait for his majesty to come back before

bringing it out."

Liu Wenan looked at Yun Shang cautiously and said, "How about you have dinner first, your majesty? I

don't know when his majesty is able to come back. "

"But... didn't his majesty ask me to wait here? " Yun Shang still had a smile on her face.

"Yes, your majesty." Liu Wenan felt more and more frightened, "His Majesty did say so, but I noticed

that his majesty paid all his attention to the account book in front of him at that time. I'm afraid that he

just said it casually and didn't take it seriously."

"No. In that case, as it was what his majesty said, that's the imperial edict. Of course I should obey it."

Yun Shang nodded and waved her hand, "Okay, I see. I'll wait for his majesty here. You can go back

first. Otherwise, his majesty cannot find you when he needs you."

Liu Wenan took a secret look at Yun Shang's face again and then said yes in a low voice. Then he left.

After returning to the Meeting Hall, he waited for more than an hour before some officials came out one

after another.

When all the officials left, and Liu Wenan was about to enter, he saw Luo Qingyan striding out.

"Where is her majesty?"

"Her majesty should still be in the Taiji Palace. I came back as soon as I sent your message there. Her

majesty was still there when I left, but I don't know now." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Luo Qingyan paused and then asked again, "Did you let her majesty to have dinner first and not to wait

for me?"

"Ah!" Liu Wenan let out a cry of surprise, "But what your majesty asked me to tell her majesty was not

to wait but to let them wait and not urge you anymore. I've told her majesty what I was ordered. Thus

her majesty obeyed and asked to keep the food warm in the small kitchen and wait for your majesty

until you finish handling the political affairs. "

“……” The blue veins on Luo Qingyan's forehead twitched, "I just said it casually. Can't you make it in a

clever way?"

"But even if your majesty lend me your great courage, I... I didn't dare to change any of your Majesty's

orders. But later, I figured out your intention and explained to her majesty that as no one knew when

the meeting would end, her majesty could have dinner first."

Luo Qingyan eagerly turned to Liu Wenan, and under his burning gaze, Liu Wenan coughed and

reported, "But her majesty said that what your majesty said is the imperial edict, and she should

naturally obey it."

“……”

With an impulse to shout, Luo Qingyan rushed outward.

Back to the Taiji Palace, Luo Qingyan didn't enter the hall immediately. He only asked the eunuch at the

door in a low voice, "Did her majesty order food later?"

"No, your majesty. Her majesty only ordered to heat up the food on the small stoves so that they could

serve when your majesty came back. "

“……”

The corners of Luo Qingyan's mouth twitched slightly. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw Yun

Shang sitting on a chair, leaning against an embroidered pillow, and reading a book in her hand.

"Ahem..."

Luo Qingyan cleared his throat, but Yun Shang didn't seem to hear it. She continued with her reading.

"Ahem!"

"Ahem! Ahem"

At last, Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan, "Your Majesty is sick? Why did you

cough so badly? How about I send for an imperial physician to check your Majesty's pulse first? "

"No... No need. "

Luo Qingyan walked to Yun Shang and sat down. He fixed his eyes on Yun Shang and carefully

studied the expression on Yun Shang's face.

Yun Shang stayed calm, as if nothing had happened and she was not angry.

Luo Qingyan then said, "Even if I am sick, the medical skills of my Empress are much better than those

of the imperial physicians. With the presence of my Empress, why do I need an imperial physician?"

"Really so?" Yun Shang chuckled, "So, your majesty, do you mean that in addition to being the

Empress, I have to shoulder the responsibility of an imperial physician to check the pulse for the people

in the palace?"

“……” Of course Luo Qingyan didn't mean that, "No matter how good the medical skills of the Empress

are, she can only treat me alone."

Fearing that Yun Shang would get entangled with this matter again, Luo Qingyan quickly changed the

topic, "I just heard from the servants outside that you haven't had dinner yet. It's so late. Why didn't you

eat first?"

"Your Majesty also know it's too late?"

as Yun Shang spoke, she covered the book in her hand and looked up at Luo Qingyan, "Your Majesty,

have you promised me that you would have meals on time and that you would treat yourself well?"

"Yes... indeed... " Luo Qingyan smiled awkwardly, "Yes, it's true. But the situation is a little special

today. The war at the border is very tense. I don't know how long this battle will last, and I'm afraid that

something unexpected will happen elsewhere. I just want to see how much money is in the national

Treasury, and whether it's enough to deal with the army provisions and fodders.

We should prepare against unexpected needs."

Yun Shang remembered what Luo Yi had said before. There seemed to be something unusual in Deer

City and Yunzhou, so Luo Qingyan sent some secret guards there to investigate.

Deer City and Yunzhou were near to each other in the southernmost part of the State of Xia, close to

the sea.

It could be considered as the border of the State of Xia.

"We can never be too careful in case of our security. It's better to be cautious." It was obvious that Luo

Qingyan didn't want to tell Yun Shang about it. He was afraid that Yun Shang would worry about him,

"So I called the courtiers to check the accounts. Today, I only checked a part of the accounts, but it was

already late. Those courtiers didn't leave, so I couldn't leave either."

Then Luo Qingyan looked up and ordered Liu Wenan, "Go and order to serve the dishes."

Liu Wenan replied and left in a hurry.

Luo Qingyan turned to Yun Shang again with a flattering look.
