Chapter 572 An Incident In The Imperial Garden

Thinking of this, Yun Shang felt a little upset. She said quickly, "Your Highness, could you take me with you when you go to the Imperial Palace?"

Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang. After a moment of silence, he said, "You've been staying at home with me since I was grounded. You haven't entered the Imperial Palace for a long time. Go with me.

Yun Shang nodded and went back to the room with Luo Qingyan. They got changed and went to the Imperial Palace in a hurry. The morning court must have been over at this time. Xia Huanyu should be handling state affairs in the Meeting Hall. Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang separated from each other near the Meeting Hall.

Instead of heading to the Xiang Zhu Palace, Yun Shang went to the Yunqi Palace.

Yun Shang used to visit the Yunqi Palace frequently for a period of time, so the maids at the gate knew her. When they saw Yun Shang, they immediately curtsied to her, "Your Highness, you haven't come to visit Her Highnesses for a long time. Lady Yun and Princess Qian Ling are missing you. They must be very happy to see you."

A maid led Yun Shang to the main hall's door. Yun Shang saw Lady Yun embroidering at the table, and Princess Qing Ling practicing calligraphy with a writing brush.

"Mother, have a look. Is this character very good? The teacher praised me yesterday. " Princess Qian Ling looked up at Lady Yun, full of expectation in her eyes.

Hearing this, lady Yun put down the embroidery and turned around. Her eyes flashed with joy when she saw Lady Rui standing at the door. She quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness, come in please. Why are you standing at the door? Come in and have a seat."

Hearing this, Qian Ling also turned around. As she saw Yun Shang, she put down her writing brush and rushed to her, "sister-in-law, are you here to see me?"

Yun Shang hurriedly stretched out her arms to hold Qian Ling and said with a smile, "Yeah, I heard that your writing has improved a lot recently, so I came here specially to have a look."

Hearing this, Qian Ling giggled, freed herself from Yun Shang's arms, and ran to the table. She took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yun Shang. "Sister-in-law, look! I can write the character of 'Rui'. How is it?"

The characters on the paper were not perfect, but they looked very neat. Yun Shang smiled and hurriedly said, "Great, you did a good job."

Qian Ling became happier. Lady Yun looked at them with a smile and ordered the maids to serve Yun Shang a cup of tea. Then she called Princess Qing Ling's nanny who was standing beside, "Qian Ling has been writing for half day. Since Lady Rui praised her, take her to play in the garden for a while. Take care of her and don't let her get into trouble."

Qian Ling jumped to her feet with excitement. "Sister-in-law, I will come back later. Wait for me. I will play for a while," said Qian Ling as she was about to go out with the nanny's hand.

Yun Shang was amused by Qian Ling. She waved at Qian Ling, "Ok, I'll wait for you. Go to play and come back earlier."

Qian Ling had already run out of the main hall. She disappeared after a loud reply.

Lady Y

wanted to pick some. But this lady rushed out and said that these chrysanthemums were sent into the Imperial Palace by her father and no one could pick them. Princess Qian Ling is unwilling and she insisted on picking some black chrysanthemums. Perhaps the lady was too anxious, so she pulled Princess Qian Ling, trying to stop her. Unprepared, Princess Qian Ling fell on the ground. I hurried to lift her up, but I was pushed by the lady and hit on the stone table behind me."

Yun Shang nodded. She turned to the lady kneeling on the ground and asked, "Are you one of the new chosen ladies? Lift your head. Let me have a look. What's your name? "

The lady trembled slightly and raised her head slowly. She said softly, "my name is Zhao Xianwu."

Yun Shang had seen this name in the list of beauty selection for several times. She looked at her up and down. The lady had fair skin and looked gentle and elegant. But it seemed she was not suitable to live in the imperial household with such a personality. Yun Shang asked, "do you know who you pulled just now?"

The lady's eyes fell on Qian Ling, and then on Lady Yun. She lowered her head quickly. "I was being reckless just now. I didn't expect that she is the princess."

Yun Shang was about to speak when Lady Yun pulled her sleeve. Yun Shang turned around to look at her. Lady Yun shook her head and looked behind her. Yun Shang turned her head and saw the Empress walking towards them with a few concubines. It seemed they were also enjoying the chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden.

Lady Yun gently patted Qian Ling's back. Then she said to the lady, "You are new in the imperial household. I forgive you this time. I just hope you can remember that most of the people who could enter the Imperial Garden are of noble status. Don't be so rude anymore, or you'll be in trouble if you mess up with some of them."

While they were talking, the Empress came close. She was surprised at the scene and stopped near Lady Yun and Yun Shang. She glanced around before she asked, "What happened? Eh, why is Princess Qian Ling crying?"
