Chapter 901 Subtle Aroma (Part One)

On the morning of the second day, when Yun Shang got up, Qin Yi told her that His Majesty had issued an imperial edict in holing the Grand Ceremony for the Empress in the morning court. Yun Shang nodded. It had been a long time since Empress Hua returned to the Palace and she had already been conferred the title of the Empress. The Grand Ceremony naturally would be held.

"Do you know when it will be held?" Yun Shang raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned, with sleepiness in her eyes.

Qin Yi nodded slightly as combing for Yun Shang. "It will be held on October 23rd. I just checked the calendar. It's a good day."

"October? Isn't it at the end of this month?" Yun Shang was surprised. She turned to Qin Yi and asked, "Why is it in such a hurry?"

"I've heard from Qian Zhuo that everything, including the Phoenix robe, the Phoenix crown, and everything needed for the Grand Ceremony, has been prepared in advance. His Majesty also wants to hold the ceremony as soon as possible. But the Empress didn't agree. I think now the Empress finally agreed." Qin Yi replied smilingly.

Yun Shang didn't know that. She frowned and said, "It's a good thing to hold the Grand Ceremony. After all, an empress couldn't be full accepted without the official ceremony. Why didn't the Empress agree?"

"I don't know either. Qian Zhuo only said that the Empress didn't agree, but didn't say why." Qin Yi replied in a soft voice. She combed her hair to the bottom and started to make it a bun.

Yun Shang thought to herself, Empress Hua is a smart woman. She didn't agree at first, but now she suddenly agreed. She must have reached some agreement with Xia Huanyu.

While Yun Shang was thinking, the door curtain was suddenly lifted and Hua'er ran in quickly. She ran all the way here and stopped in front of Yun Shang, panting slightly. But she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything wrong?" Yun Shang raised her head and asked.

Hua'er nodded and came to herself. "I just heard from the secret guards that a large number of dead horses were found in the valley in the hunting grounds west of the city."

Hearing

omething to do with you?"

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan laughed with tenderness in his eyes. He reached out and patted on Yun Shang's forehead, "little fox."

"Your Highness, can you tell me what trick you are playing?" Yun Shang blinked, rubbed her forehead and asked with a smile.

Luo Qingyan turned around and glanced at Yun Shang. Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness Crown Princess has even showed the Hufu of the State of Ning. How could I not add more fuel to the fire? Many people had heard from Li Qianmo yesterday that someone with the accent of the State of Yelang bought a lot of horses. What they will think when they hear the news that many dead war horses were found?"

Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, "They will definitely think that the State of Yelang is making trouble. They want to kill all the war horses of the State of Xia. In this way, we will definitely suffer losses in the battlefield as we don't have enough war horses. Then they will think that the State of Yelang is about to start a war."

Luo Qingyan nodded and said with a smile, "I think it's time for Your Highness to have some party with the noble ladies in the Jin City now."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and understood what Luo Qingyan meant from his expression. Yun Shang curled up her lips into a smile. "I'm afraid I'll have to commit to one of the seven sins women should avoid. Being Jealous is the last thing a wife should do..."
