An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1389 Take Concubines

Yun Shang smiled, "It's true that we are beset with difficulties on all sides, but it's still far from the real

impasse. They suppose that if they surround us, we will have to tear a hole in their siege before we can

escape.

But they don't know that we... we can go onto the top of the mountain or deep into the sea. "

Ning Qian turned to Yun Shang and raised her eyebrows, "You're right. It's impossible for anyone else

to do such a thing, but it's not impossible for your majesties."

Yun Shang sensed the teasing in her words. She raised her hand and gently tapped her on the temple,

"Is everything ready in the mansion?"

"Yes, everything is ready."

Yun Shang nodded, "How is Yaya? How is she doing these days? "

"She is fine." Ning Qian sighed, "Wang Jinhuan has spoiled the little girl so much. He has been playing

with her in the mansion these two days. They are about to tear the mansion down. The little girl can get

whatever she wants, and there is a silly father accompanying her. Why ca she not enjoy the present

life?"

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "Yaya is so cute. If I had such a daughter, I would also dote on her

and give her the most beautiful clothes, jewelry and the most interesting toys in the world."

Why are you so helpless? Is it because you are jealous of your own daughter?"

"What are you talking about, your majesty?" Ning Qian glared at Yun Shang, "How can I be jealous of

my own daughter?"

"Don't bet on it." Yun Shang covered her mouth and smiled. After all, even Luo Qingyan would be

jealous of Chengye.

Ning Qian couldn't bear Yun Shang's tease. She waved her hand and said, "I am here not only to see

what's going on in Weiyang Palace, but also to do something else."

"Oh?" Yun Shang didn't take it seriously at all. She just nodded casually, "What is it?"

"During this year while I was back in the State of Ning, something happened there. I want to report it to

your majesty in detail."

Yun Shang nodded, "Weiyang Palace has been burnt down. We can't just stand here and talk. Let's go

to the Taiji Palace."

When they arrived at the Taiji Palace, Yun Shang ordered to serve tea for them and then asked, "You

said that your trip to the State of Ning was smooth, but I think that if nothing really happened, you

wouldn't have been delayed there for so long. Tell me, what happened?"

Ning Qian smiled, "As for my own business, they are just some ordinary things. Although there are

some ups and downs, they are really not worth mentioning."

After a pause, Ning Qian continued, "Your majesty has left the State of Ning for a few years, and the

situation there has changed a lot. There has been a new group of forces in the court, and they are very NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

stable. After the Emperor of the State of Ning conferred Lady Jin the title of Empress, the first thing the

Empress did was to let the Emperor take concubines. "

"Take concubines?" Yun Shang frowned, "But in the past few years, father and mother have been in

deep love, haven't they? And Chenxi is growing up day by day, and my mother is pregnant. Why... And

she wants my father to take concubines? "

Ning Qian smiled, "To balance the forces in the court.

Bringing the daughters of some senior officials into the palace is the easiest way to pin down the

courtiers."

Yun Shang certainly knew this. However, at hearing that her mother accepted the concubines for her

father in person for the political reasons, she felt more or less uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Your majesty. Your mother is a smart woman. She knows what to do is the best. She can

easily deal with countless concubines in the imperial household of the State of Ning. His majesty of the

State of Ning loves her majesty very much. The only prince of the State of Ning is her born child. She is

the Empress, the head of the imperial household. No one dares to provoke her so recklessly. "

Seeing that Yun Shang didn't say anything, Ning Qian continued, "Your Majesty, the situation in the

State of Ning is different from that in the State of Xia. There has always been many concubines in the

State of Ning. And now, Grand Tutor Xiao has returned to the court. If the Empress really let the

imperial household of the State of Ning be empty and doted on alone, she would suffer more than

taking concubines.

Considering the pros and cons, the Empress just chose the best way for herself."

Yun Shang nodded, "I know."

She understood the reason, but she felt, "My mother has been too hard in her life."

But it was at least much better than her previous life.

Ning Qian went on, "And don't worry, your majesty. Although the forces in the court of the State of Ning

have undergone a few changes, more and more people from our side have been planted in it, and their

status is more and more stable. We will definitely not let the Empress Jin and Chenxi the Prince suffer

any grievance."

Yun Shang replied, and moved her hands in her sleeves. It didn't matter. Even if something happened,

she still had the ability to protect her mother and brother.

Besides, she still had the secret imperial edict in hand, didn't she?

Yun Shang meditated for a moment and then said, "The external forces are too strong, and it is easy to

be feared and attacked. However, it is absolutely impossible that there is completely no such forces.

My uncles from my mother's side... "

"Your Majesty's uncles didn't go back to the palace, but your Majesty's two cousins have already

entered the court. At that time when Master Xiao resigned and retired, the cousins of the majesty's

were still young, and many people had no impression of them. Moreover, they entered the court on

their own abilities. It was difficult for others to connect them with Grand Tutor Xiao. "

Yun Shang nodded, "That's good."

With that, Yun Shang came to her senses. Although her father had changed a lot over the years, she

was still worried about him. Perhaps because of what had happened before. She would still

subconsciously guard against him in her heart.

Ning Qian seemed to understand what Yun Shang was thinking, and continued, "Most of our secret

guards in the Imperial City of the State of Ning have been withdrawn, but I haven't completely hidden

myself. His majesty of the State of Ning should have noticed these."

"That's good." Yun Shang nodded, "It's time to let him know it, or he might scruple about me in his

heart."

Yun Shang had been living in the royal family of the State of Ning for two lifetimes, which was enough

for her to understand that it was difficult to have a pure father and daughter relationship in the royal

family.

The so-called father and daughter filial piety was nothing more than painstaking efforts.

After saying that, Ning Qian kept silent for a while and then continued, "After I returned to the State of

Ning with Wang Jinhuan, His majesty of the State of Ning found a title at random, entitled Wang

Jinhuan's father the title of Uncle Shoushan, and withdrew his real power in the six imperial

departments."

Ning Qian took a look at Yun Shang and said, "I've thought it over. The emperor of the State of Ning did

this on purpose, probably because of Wang Jinhuan."

Yun Shang nodded slightly and then said, "His Majesty trusts Wang Jinhuan. He has been with his

majesty since he was still Prince Jing and now his majesty has become the emperor of the State of Xia.

Wang Jinhuan has an important position in the State of Xia. It will naturally be inappropriate for his

father to hold real power in the State of Ning. "
