Chapter 910 Forbidden To Get Involved In Politics

What Xia Huanyu said didn't seem to be unreasonable. However, Yun Shang still held a grudge against him as he chose this time to hand the throne to Luo Qingyan though he had clearly known the current situation.

Thinking of that Xia Huanyu even asked Luo Qingyan to spare Xia Houjing's life yesterday, Yun Shang sneered and left the Taihe Palace. She shouldn't have expected any real concern in the royal family. If she had known this earlier, when Xia Huanyu told Luo Qingyan to be more tolerant, Yun Shang would have asked Xia Huanyu why he killed his father and brother back then if he really thought that one should be more tolerant when in a high position.

Yun Shang suppressed her anger and hurried back to Weiyang Palace with Bao'er in her arms. Qin Yi was instructing the servants in the palace to take out the books and bask them in the sun.

Seeing Yun Shang coming back with Hua'er, Qin Yi walked up to her and took over the sleeping baby. She lowered her voice and said to Yun Shang, "Would Your Majesty like to take a nap first? Lady Xian has paid a visit to Weiyang Palace not long ago. I told her that you had gone to Taihe Palace and she said that she would go to the Taihe Palace to greet His Former Majesty. Haven't Your Majesty seen her?"

Yun Shang frowned and remembered that Lady Xian was the lady who had been promoted as noble consort by Empress Hua as she had expressed her heartfelt support to the Empress after the latter returned to the Palace. It was the second day since Yun Shang moved into the Palace. Many people might have known the current situation after secretly inquiring, but Lady Xian was the first to pay a visit.

Yun Shang nodded and thought for a while. Now the new emperor was enthroned, and these noble concubines were now titled as Grand Imperial Concubines*. Many grand concubines had daughters, but most princesses had already been married, so they might not have an easy life in the Palace. (*TN: the concubines of the previous emperor）

However, she didn't know much about the imperial household as she was new in the Palace, so she didn't dare to get involved in many things rashly. It might be a good way for her to ask those grand concubines to help her get to know the imperial household as soon as possible. Although Luo Qingyan didn't have his harem, there would still be a lot of things to deal with in the household.

Since she had promised to be with Luo Qingyan all the time, she could help him handle the trifles in the imperial household though she might not be able to give him some advice on the state affairs. She could support behind him, keeping the imperial household in peace.

"If any grand concubines pays a visit, just invite them in." Yun Shang said softly and stepped into the main hall.

The main hall of Weiyang Palace was large and empty, with a bit of coldness. Yun Shang didn't like it, so she went straight to the inner hall and dismissed all the servants except Hua'er and Qin Yi. Although Luo Qingyan had taken the throne and she was the only one in his harem, she still couldn't trust anyone easily.

"Just now, I heard that His Majesty ordered this year's Wuzhuangyuan* and General Zhao to lead troops to Liucang

he opened her mouth and wanted to ask whether Liu Yinfeng had sent back any message. After thinking for a while, she didn't ask. She only ordered in a low voice, "Some of our shops always send some employees to Liucang City, Nanyang City and Lingxi City for business. Order the shopkeepers to send some smart people there to inquire about the current situation there. I'm afraid the battle will last long once it starts. It's better to gather more information."

While the two of them were talking, they heard a greeting voice from outside, "Your Majesty."

Yun Shang was surprised. The assembly has been over?

Qin Yi quickly helped Yun Shang stand up. Before Yun Shang reached the door of the inner hall, Luo Qingyan came in with Liu Wenan.

Noticing that Luo Qingyan didn't look well, Yun Shang knew that Luo Qingyan must have had a quarrel in the morning court, so she asked Qin Yi to bring a bowl of soup.

After giving the order, he turned to Luo Qingyan and asked, "Your Majesty, you have been tired all morning. Are you hungry?"

Luo Qingyan shook his head and lay down on the couch. Yun Shang walked behind Luo Qingyan, raised her hand to press his temple and then gently massage his shoulders.

Liu Wenan stood aside with a smile, "I've asked Qin Yi to call the directors of all the departments to meet Your Majesty. Have you seen them?"

Yun Shang looked up and sighed, "No. the Palace is too spacious. I meant to take Bao'er for a walk, but I got lost and just returned to Weiyang Palace."

Liu Wenan's face twitched slightly. He knew it was just Yun Shang 's excuse. She had been to the Palace many times and had never been lost in the Palace. How could she lost her way today? But Liu Wenan couldn't blame her as she had become the Empress, so he smiled and said, "Those servants should be punished. How could they let Your Majesty get lost? And I'm thinking that the enthronement ceremony has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible since His Majesty has been the rightful ruler of a country after receiving the imperial edict of abdication from His Former Majesty. What do Your Majesties think about it?"
