Chapter 927 A Visit (2/2)
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xia Huanyu coming in from the outside. ”I just said I heard Shang'er's voice. But Yuan Bao said it couldn't be her. How could I hear it wrong?”
Yuan Bao was a eunuch who was now serving Xia Huanyu. Hearing this, he explained in a hurry, ”I didn't say it couldn't Her Majesty. I just said that Her Majesty couldn't have come at this time as the road was slippery outside.”
Yun Shang found that Xia Huanyu was much more easy-going than before. Even the eunuchs could talk and laugh with him like this. Then Yun Shang smiled and said, ”It was indeed slipper
and had dinner with father and mother.” Yun Shang said with a smile, ”It has rained these days. Father was bored and played chess with mother for a few days. Mother couldn't stand it and drove him to the study. I went here at a wrong time and was asked by father to play a few rounds with him. I lost.”
Luo Qingyan curled his lips and said, ”if you hadn't thrown the game, you would've at least ended in a draw.
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, ”How could...”
After returning to the palace, Qian Zhuo put the jewelry box that Her Former Majesty gave to Yun Shang on the dressing table. Seeing this, Luo Qingyan walked over and opened it. ”What's this?”
Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang turned around and said, ”It was given by mother when I went to Taihe Palace. She said that father had given her too much jewelry before, but some of them didn't suit her. So she asked me to take them back.”
Luo Qingyan took out an oblong container made of sandalwood with carved patterns. Yun Shang had also noticed it earlier as there was only one container among the jewelry. Yun Shang saw Luo Qingyan open it, and there was a phoenix-shaped hairpin in it. The hairpin was bright and lifelike.
Luo Qingyan picked up the hairpin, turned around, and made a few gestures to Yun Shang from a distance. Then he walked to Yun Shang with the hairpin and said with a smile, ”This hairpin is good. You will look gorgeous with it.”
Then he took the white jade hairpin off Yun Shang's hair and inserted the phoenix-shaped hairpin into her bun. He stepped back and stared at Yun Shang for a long time before he smiled and said, ”The beauty's face can launch a thousand ships.”
Yun Shang glared at him, but didn't take off the hairpin. She snorted and said, ”Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, just have a look at the two kind of fabric on the desk and see which pattern is better. We meant to ask the Shangyi Bureau to make winter clothes for Bao'er. But Bao'er's clothes are enough. I want to choose one to make him some clothes for the Spring Festival.”
