Chapter 918 Be Frank And Honest With Each Other (1/2)
Yun Shang was woken up by Qin Yi after two hours' sleep. Yun Shang slowly opened her eyes and was still in a daze when she heard Qin Yi saying smilingly, ”Your Majesty, it's time to get up. His Majesty is waiting for your soup.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang sat up. She sober up a little after Qin Yi help her fix her clothes and hair. ”Earlier I met the directors of the Neishi Bureau and the Imperial Household Department and I told them that I wanted to change all the servants in Weiyang Palace. I got mad at them and scolded them. I'm afraid they will bring people here soon. You just stay in the palace in case they came. Choose some honest-looking ones from the servants they bring. It's all up to you and don't need to ask me.”
Qin Yi was about to say something, but she suddenly remembered that Yun Shang had told her that there was someone watching them in Weiyang Palace, so she quickly replied, ”Yes, I understand.”
Yun Shang nodded and then ordered Hua'er to take the hamper and go to the Meeting Hall with her.
When they arrived at the Meeting Hall, they saw two eunuchs standing at the door. When they saw Yun Shang, the two eunuchs quickly bowed. Yun Shang looked in the Meeting Hall, but couldn't see anything clearly.
”I've brought some soup for His Majesty.” Yun Shang whispered to the eunuch at the door.
Hearing this, the eunuch standing on the left was a little surprise. ”Eh, just now the imperial kitchen had sent some soup, saying that it was ordered by His Former Majesty.”
Yun Shang was stunned. She frowned and said nothing. Looking at Yun Shang's expression, the eunuch realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly said, ”I'll report it now.”
Then he hurried into the hall. Not long after, the eunuch ran out again, with a bit of joy on his face. ”Your Majesty, His Majesty wants to see you.”
Yun Shang nodded, took the hamper from Hua'er, and asked Hua'er to wait at the gate before she stepped into the Meeting Hall.
In the Meeting Hall, only Luo Qingyan was dealing with political affairs. Liu Wenan and Wang Wanzhi were standing aside. Wang Wanzhi was wearing a long plain dress instead of the uniform for female officials, which made her look gentle and demure. With a notebook and writing brush in her hand, Wang Wanzhi seemed to hear footsteps. She raised her head, smiled at Yun Shang and bowed slightly.
There were several censers in the hall, smoking rising from the incense. The whole Meeting Hall was filled with the scent of ambergris. Luo Qingyan was reading a memorial, frowning with unpleasant look on his face, as if he was dealing with something tricky.
