An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1286 Time Flies

Yun Shang was surprised, but she immediately knew why they were here. She said in a hurry, "Please

come in."

The servants at the door quickly lifted the curtain, and Lady Hua Guo and Shen Yilan came in with

Yan'er.

Liu Wenan stood outside the door and bowed to Yun Shang, "The guests are here and I'll leave now."

Yun Shang nodded and waved her hand. Then she turned around and ordered the guests to be

seated.

"Aunt, the Empress," called Yan'er. He ran to Yun Shang quickly and looked up at her, "Mother and

Grandma said they would take me here to play with the Crown Prince. Where is he now?"

Yun Shang smiled and stroked Yan'er's head, "The Crown Prince is in the East Palace. I'll send you

there to play with him."

"Great!"

Yun Shang smiled and looked up at Shen Yilan, "I'll ask someone to send Yan'er to play with Chengye

for a while. Let's have a talk first and then go there to have a look afterwards."

"All right." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Shen Yilan didn't have any objection. She turned around and said to Yan'er, "Go and find your brother,

Chengye. You must be obedient and don't run around. If I find out that you do not behave yourself well,

I will break your legs when I go back today."

"Okay, I know," replied Yan'er impatiently, "You've said it twenty times on the way here. Twenty times!"

"You brat, how dare you say that. If you keep doing this, I won't take you here anymore. "

"Okay, okay," Yan'er answered perfunctorily. He smiled at Yun Shang again and said, "Her majesty,

please send me to the Crown Prince' place."

Yun Shang smiled and asked Pei Lan to send Yan'er to the East Palace with several servants.

After they left, Lady Hua Guo smiled and asked, "Is your majesty embroidering?"

Noticing that Lady Hua Guo was looking at the embroidery stick at her hand, Yun Shang felt shy, "Well,

I have nothing to do, so I learn embroidery to kill the time. When I was in the State of Ning, I was sent

out of the palace at the age of seven. I didn't go back until the time of Coming-of-age Ceremony. As no

one taught me this before, I'm really not good at it and I'm still learning it. "

"Why do you like to learn this, your majesty?" Lady Hua Guo smiled, "I'm not good at it either. I've

learned it for decades, but I am still not good at embroidery and my works are just so so."

Shen Yilan also nodded and said, "I don't know how to do it either. It's not bad to let me take a stick or

a weapon. I feel uncomfortable when I take this thin embroidery needle, and I don't know where to put

my hands or feet when I am doing this kind of work."

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and chuckled, "It seems that it has something to do with the tradition of

learning."

Lady Hua Guo smiled even more brightly. "Her Former Majesty doesn't know how to embroider. As I

didn't know how to do it, I specially asked an embroidery master to teach her since she was more than

10 years old, but she still didn't know how to do it. As a result, those quilts used for dowry were all

embroidered by the embroidery masters. "

Three of them felt fun and laughed for a while. Yun Shang then noticed Shen Yilan's belly, which

showed she was pregnant. It looked more conspicuous because of her thin clothes in such hot

weather.

"What's the reaction of this pregnancy?"

"It's just a little serious." Shen Yilan sighed, "I have vomited so much that I even doubt about my own

life. I felt nauseated whenever I ate something, which made me have no appetite at all. But I feel better

these days. Perhaps the stage of morning sickness is about to pass."

Yun Shang smiled, "Let me feel your pulse."

Hearing this, Shen Yilan put her hand on the table and said, "Thank you, your majesty."

Yun Shang felt her pulse carefully and then said with a smile, "Nothing serious. The fetus seems to be

stable."

"Well. Thank you." Shen Yilan withdrew her hand and sighed, "I hope this baby is a girl. If there is

another naughty boy like Yan'er, I think my hair will all fall out."

Yun Shang smiled, "Yan'er is also very good boy."

"Aye." Shen Yilan smiled, and then she turned to look at Lady Hua Guo, who was sitting silently with a

smile, "I heard from Grandma that Chengye's Grand Tutor has been engaged. How many princes do

you want to choose as the Crown Prince' companions?"

"Yes." Yun Shang nodded, "Yes. And I like Yan'er very much. I don't know if you are willing to let him

enter the palace."

"Why not?" With a smile on her face, Shen Yilan said, "I was talking to Grandma earlier. It's such a

good chance for Yan'er. He is very naughty all day long. Sometimes I feel that I can't deal with him.

With the masters' guidance and the palace members' management in the palace, he may be a little

sensible.

So I've brought Yan'er into the palace today. I won't take him back later. I have to ask your majesty to

discipline him."

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and smiled, "You are so decisive."

"Exactly," Lady Hua Guo smiled and echoed, "On the way here, I said that no one else is willing to part

with their children, but she seems to be eager to do so."

"That's because I am clear in my heart that Yan'er will also be taken good care of after he enters the

palace, so I'm not worried or reluctant at all," Shen Yilan replied.

They laughed again.

Lady Hua Guo then asked again, "Is the Grand Tutor mentioned by the Empress now teaching the

Crown Prince in the East Palace?"

Yun Shang knew what she meant. She nodded slightly and said, "Yes. Let's go there together. I haven't

visited the East Palace since his majesty conferred the title of the Grand Tutor. I don't know what's

going on. "

Lady Hua Guo agreed, and the three of them went to the East Palace with their servantss.

When they arrived there, no one was seen in the yard. Yun Shang lowered her voice and asked the

servants outside the main hall, "Where is the Crown Prince?"

"His highness is studying with the Grand Tutor in the study."

"Pei Lan has sent the young master from the Lord Hua Guo's mansion here. Is he still here?"

"Yes, they are all here."

Yun Shang nodded and went straight to the study.

At the door of the study, Yun Shang didn't go in, but listened through the door.

"Winter comes and goes. autumn collects and winter stores.

The meaning of this sentence is that both the cycles of winter and summer exchanges, coming and

going. In autumn, people are busy with harvest, while in winter people are busy with storage,"

said Tan Qian in a gentle voice.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Chengye asked, "Why did the winter and summer

exchange? Why is it so hot in summer and so cold in winter? "

Yun Shang smiled. As a matter of fact, Chengye had always a lot of problems . She was worried about

the Grand Tutor.

"Your Highness, do you like hotpot?"

"Yes, I like it. Make a pot of soup and then put all your favorite dishes in it. It's delicious."

"Your Highness, do you like the grapes and waxberries that have been served with ice?"

"I like them too. I have to eat a lot of ice grapes every day."

With a slight smile, Tan Qian said, "That's right. It's cold in winter, so you won't feel too hot when you

eat hotpot. And in summer, you won't feel cold when you eat ice grapes. In order to make your

highness enjoy your favorite food in turn, the winter and summer change interchangeably , so the

summer is hot and the winter is cold... "
