Prince Jing's eyebrows moved and he looked at Yun Shang beside him, only to see her eyes also falling on the flower in his hand. There seemed to be a bit of "sure enough" look in her eyes. Prince Jing knew that she must have understood it.
Because of this, there was no trace of panic. When he raised his eyes, he saw the pride in Prime Minister Li's eyes that he had no time to take back.
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows and threw the flowers in his hand to the ground. His face was so cold that it was shocking, "Brother, it seems that I am not suitable for touching these flowers and grasses. These flowers are so delicate."
, how can you be the leader of the flower viewing party? The best flowers in Ningguo should have perseverance." After saying that, he took the flower in Yun Shang's hand, and the flower quickly withered. Prince Jing smiled slightly.
She curled her lips and turned to look at Wen Ruyu, "I wonder if Miss Wen can tell me why the same flower withered in my hands? Chang'er won't do it when I hold it?"
Prime Minister Li frowned slightly, but he did not expect that Prince Jing would take the flowers from Yun Shang's hand. Prime Minister Li glanced at Wen Ruyu who seemed to be frightened by Prince Jing's expression, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's
Is it because this flower likes women?" After saying this, he walked up to Prince Jing, smiled and leaned down to pick up the withered flower, "It's just a pity, such wonderful flowers are rare."
When Prime Minister Li said this, his eyes fell on Yun Shang and Prince Jing, because he clearly felt that there was a faint smell coming from the two of them.
"Miss Wen's flower opened our eyes just now. Although the flower is gone now, it will not affect our judgment. Later, we will have someone set up an arena here, and everyone in the imperial city can receive one."
Leaves, cast in front of your favorite flowers. Now, the results have not yet come out. In order to ensure fairness, all the adults present will move to the small palace in the east of the city to take a rest." Prime Minister Li said leisurely.
Everyone followed the guidance of the chamberlain to the direction of the palace. Yun Shang approached Prince Jing and smiled slightly, "This is just the beginning. When you meet the flower and the clothes on your body, you will have a very strange reaction, and it is usually directed at
Man, this on me is just a foil. Maybe Prime Minister Li is afraid that we will be a little suspicious when we see the difference in their attires."
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, a strange reaction to the man?
Some singing and dancing performances were prepared in the palace, but there were many foreign men present, and the flowers presented were all official ladies. It was not convenient, so Yun Shang led the woman presenting flowers to the garden.
The maid poured tea for the ladies. Yun Shang picked up the tea and looked at the women present under the cover of the tea cup.
Many women were selected from various cities, and they were all top-notch in terms of wealth and appearance. However, it was the first time to see so many distinguished people, and they all looked a little uneasy. However, Wen Ruyu, who should have been as cold as ice,
, but seemed to be a little restless, always looking towards the garden entrance inadvertently.
Yun Shang looked around and pondered for a long time before faintly discovering something strange. His father said that he would send Hua Jing to come today, but there was no trace of Hua Jing.
Yun Shang found Qian Yin and gave her a few instructions in her ear. Qian Yin nodded and retreated. Wen Ruyu seemed to have noticed Qian Yin's departure and glanced at Yun Shang, only to see that Yun Shang's expression was as usual.
, just as he was about to get up and find a way to take a look, he heard Yun Shang's voice and thought, "Are you a little uncomfortable with my princess here? It doesn't matter, this is just a nap, let's talk casually,
This princess asked the maid to find some things to play with, and we will play for a while, it’s still early.”
When many women saw the noble princess for the first time, they felt a little bit frightened. They all said that women from the Tian family were very spoiled and had bad tempers. Everyone quietly looked at Yun Shang, who was smiling broadly, and secretly said in their hearts, "That's right."
No, she is even kinder than some pampered official ladies.
Then someone who wanted to show off smiled and said, "This is the first time for civilian girls to see the noble Princess Huiguo. Before that, they had only heard of Princess Huiguo's name in some folk legends. I heard that Princess Huiguo was nothing more than
When she was seven or eight years old, she cared about the people. When there was a drought that year, the princess went to Ningguo Temple to pray for blessings and obtained the decree from Abbot Wu Na, so that the rain fell. The princess was a blessing to the people."
Hearing this, Yun Shang covered her mouth and laughed, "I didn't know that there were such rumors. You have seen it. I am just an ordinary woman with no other advantages. But I just saw your performance.
Everyone is talented."
All the women were overjoyed when they heard this. Many of them came with the idea of flying up the branches and becoming phoenixes. The princess is noble and the emperor's favorite daughter. If she is willing to say a word for them in front of the emperor.
If you say good things, you don't have to worry about anything.
So, when someone asked eagerly, "Which of us's performance does the princess like best?"
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at Wen Ruyu with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration, "Just now, Miss Wen's palm flower was really refreshing. Just now, my father was also praising it, saying, Miss Wen is indeed
The reputation is well-deserved, and people are more beautiful than flowers."
Everyone looked at Wen Ruyu like sharp swords, with a bit of resentment in their eyes. It was really her. The flower was obviously very ordinary, and it was just the flower in the palm of his hand. Even the emperor praised her...
Wen Ruyu seemed to feel the vaguely jealous eyes of everyone, but Wen Ruyu had always been a proud and arrogant person, and she didn't like Yun Shang at all. She had worked so hard on the design before, but she didn't expect that it would be her sister who died.
, he was even more upset in his heart, and he laughed coldly and said, "It's just a small trick, but after all, I represent the imperial city, so it is right for me to be on the stage better than others."
When Yun Shang heard Wen Ruyu's words, she even smiled in her heart. This Wen Ruyu really couldn't get excited, as she could tell from the fact that she had targeted Jing Wenxi everywhere before.
However, Yun Shang would not show such emotions on her face. She only smiled slightly and said, "I cannot agree with what Miss Wen said. These ladies are all our citizens of Ningguo, and they also represent them."
This is our territory, Ningguo, so how can we say anything noble or mean?"
When Wen Ruyu heard this, she frowned and snorted coldly, "Even if we are in the same imperial city, there are distinctions between high and low, let alone such a big country like Ning? It is impossible for a maid to be as bad as the master.
?”
The other women present had a much better impression of Yun Shang, and some of them spoke to the woman who was annoyed by Wen Ruyu, "Miss Wen looks like a lady at first glance, but I don't know if Miss Wen has any destiny? Miss Wen
He should be of a very high grade, right?"
Wen Ruyu became even more displeased, "This girl doesn't know the laws of the Ning Kingdom. She is not a concubine or a relative of the emperor, and she is still an unmarried woman. Her husband has not made great achievements, how can he have a royal decree and rank?"
The young lady seemed to suddenly realize, "Oh... just now, after listening to Miss Wen's words, the civilian girl thought that Miss Wen had already been appointed and was of a very high rank. It turned out that she was just like us, just a commoner.
"
Yun Shang glanced at the woman who was speaking indifferently, but saw that she looked well-behaved, but looked at Wen Ruyu's eyes with a bit of sarcasm, and the words she said made Yun Shang couldn't help but curl her lips,
This woman was quite interesting. She was used to cursing people around the corner, and Wen Ruyu actually took the bait.
When Wen Ruyu heard this, her face turned red, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
But then I heard the woman say, "It's just that Miss Wen has never had a royal title, she is just a commoner's daughter. Princess Huiguo is the emperor's daughter. She is a genuine princess who was given the title by the emperor himself. Miss Wen talks to the princess like that,
Is it inappropriate? Miss Wen just asked the daughter of the people about Ningguo's laws. She must be very clear about the laws of Ningguo. Can Miss Wen tell the daughter of the people, how should we deal with the following offenses of disrespecting a legitimate princess...
…”
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "This lady's words left Miss Wen speechless. Miss Wen's father, Mr. Wen, is the Minister of Household Affairs and is the pillar of the country. He must be busy with official duties on weekdays.
Mr. Wen neglected to teach Miss Wen. Mr. Wen is dedicated to serving the people. Naturally, I have to treat Miss Wen well to avoid Mr. Wen's worries. Miss Wen was just joking with me just now. You don't need to take it seriously."
Then he turned his eyes and looked at the woman who spoke, "Where is this lady from?"
The woman quickly said, "My little girl, Sun Yanniang, is from Jincheng."
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "Oh? So she is the daughter of Jincheng Prefect? It's a pleasure to meet you..."
When Sun Yaniang heard this, she didn't look very happy at all. She just responded lightly, "I love you, princess."
When everyone was saying this, they saw a person who looked like a maid walking into the garden. Yun Shang saw a smile flash in the eyes of Wen Ruyu, who was full of displeasure just now. His eyes swept across Yun Shang's face, and there was actually a hint of smile.
There was a bit of anticipation.
Yun Shang looked at the maid, and felt that the maid's appearance seemed familiar. Just as she was recalling where she had seen her before, she saw the maid kneeling down in front of Yun Shang, "Princess, this servant is Princess Huajing."
The people waiting around me just now had Princess Hua Jing relaxing in the backyard. Because she was not in a good mood recently, they asked the slaves to retreat. However, the slaves had just searched all possible places in the backyard and could not find Princess Hua Jing.
.”
Yun Shang quickly stood up and walked to the slave girl, with a bit of anxiety on her face, "What did you say? The imperial sister is missing? How did you serve her?"
Yun Shang was reprimanding the maid when she heard Wen Ruyu whisper, "It's useless to reprimand her now. Princess, it's better for someone to find Princess Hua Jing."
Yun Shang nodded, summoned the guards, and asked them to look around.
Qian Yin also walked in, smiled and nodded to Yun Shang.
"Ah..." A scream came over, and everyone was stunned. Yun Shang said quickly, "Quickly, let the guards follow the place where the sound came from. The emperor and ministers are still in the front yard, and they must be protected.
Good Emperor."
The leader of the guards quickly responded and retreated. Wen Ruyu said softly, "Princess, what happened? Why don't we go and take a look?"
Yun Shang's face turned cold, "Everyone can't go anywhere in the back garden. If there are assassins, all of us women will not be able to help. Instead, they will distract the guards. There are always secret guards around this princess, so stay here."
It is the safest place to be with this princess."
The other women heard this and nodded quickly. They didn't know what happened, but they also knew that there would be nothing wrong as long as they followed Yun Shang. Yun Shang was a beloved princess and the fiancée of Prince Jing, the God of War.
There must be a lot of experts around her.
Wen Ruyu never thought that Yun Shang, who had never seemed very assertive, would be so tough at this time, and his cold expression was vaguely similar to that of Prince Jing. Wen Ruyu was secretly frightened, thinking that she might be
I underestimated the little woman in front of me.
However, if we can't take these women there now, how will this drama start... I was very troubled in my heart, and just as I was about to speak, I heard the woman named Sun Yaniang say softly, "The princess is one of us.
The most noble thing is the princess’s order, and the girls of the country should obey it.”
Wen Ruyu's words were stuck in her throat just as she was about to speak.
Just when everyone was secretly thinking about what was going on outside, they heard a somewhat cold voice, "Shang'er, are you okay?"
Yun Shang naturally recognized the voice of Prince Jing and raised his eyebrows. Now that he appeared here, it meant that someone's plan seemed to have failed. He responded with a bit of a smile, "Uncle Huang,
We have nothing to do. There are only women in the garden. If someone else breaks in, please leave a few guards at the door, uncle. Don’t let anyone else get close."
The people outside responded and made no more noise.
Wen Ruyu's face turned pale. When the voice rang out, he hadn't realized who was speaking. He just heard Yun Shang calling him "uncle", and his heart was shocked. The only person who could make Yun Shang call him "uncle" was Wang Jing Luo.
To be honest, there is no one else.
But, why is Prince Jing here at this time?
Wen Ruyu felt as if she was beating a drum in her heart, and became uneasy. Just now, Prince Jing was obviously wearing the clothes specially prepared for him by the Prime Minister, and he also tried it just now. The flower quickly withered when Prince Jing took it, which shows that
It's already half done, but what exactly happened just now, and why did Prince Jing appear here? Moreover, listening to the voice, it seemed that nothing had happened at all.
If Prince Jing is fine, where did that scream come from?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard another voice outside the garden, "Princess Yunshang is inside, is there something going on inside..."
Before he finished speaking, a sharp scolding was heard, "Seventh Prince, please stay. There are some women inside. If the prince goes in, the reputation of the women inside will not be good."
Yun Shang raised his eyebrows. The scolding voice sounded a bit like Wang Jinhuan's. Yun Shang was also a little unsure. Wang Jinhuan always spoke frivolously. I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to behave like this and scold Xia Houjing harshly.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Xia Houjing's voice speak again, but he was obviously unhappy, "They say that Ning State is a big country and very polite, but is this how you treat guests?"
As soon as Xia Houjing's voice fell, he heard a chuckle. This chuckle made Yun Shang sure that the person outside was indeed Wang Jinhuan. Yun Shang sighed in her heart, King Jing was indeed a careful person, knowing that if
When I met someone with status who wanted to force his way in, even ordinary guards could not stop him, so I sent Wang Jinhuan, a man who would never lose even if he was a rogue.
"Oh? The Seventh Prince also knows that he is a guest? I thought the Seventh Prince didn't know? I heard that the Seventh Prince of Xia Kingdom has always been gentle and elegant, but your appearance doesn't seem like it? Tell me, who are you? Pretending to be Xia
What does the seventh prince of the country want?"
Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Young Master Wang, please stop joking with the Seventh Prince. Yun Shang would be more concerned about the Seventh Prince. Everything is safe here. It's just that there are some little girls in this garden who have not yet left the palace."
, there is some inconvenience, I hope the Seventh Prince will forgive me."
It was quiet outside, and then I heard Xia Houjing say softly, "In that case, I won't disturb you anymore."
As he spoke, there seemed to be footsteps, and Yun Shang felt that Wen Ruyu, who had stood beside her at some point, seemed to be even more nervous, holding her hands tightly and her eyes full of anxiety.
Yun Shang was stunned, could it be...Xia Houjing and Wen Ruyu...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard another voice outside. But this time, the voice was suppressed a little low. No one heard it clearly, but Yun Shang heard it clearly.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, called Qianyin and said, "I'm afraid that the emperor and prince will forget about us when they get busy. Go and see what's going on outside. Go and come back quickly."
Qianyin nodded and left the garden. Everyone looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes, but they all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Yun Shang turned back to look at everyone and said with a smile, "It's better if the men outside handle everything. We don't have to be so nervous. Our safety should be in good hands. Instead of secretly speculating and making everyone panic, why don't we do this
Let’s play some games to divert our attention. There’s nothing to play at this time, so I’ll just be more ordinary and play verse solitaire. What do you think?”
Although the people present were all women, they all had some status in their families. Naturally, they had received excellent education. They could also read ordinary poems, so they all followed Yun Shang's wishes and sat down to play.
After playing around for a while, they happened to see Qianyin walking in. Everyone quickly turned their heads and looked at Qianyin eagerly. Qianyin walked up to Yun Shang and saluted, "Princess, please go and inquire about it. It seems that
Something happened to the third prince of Yelang Kingdom and he seemed to be injured. I am too ignorant to find out what exactly happened..."
"The third prince of Yelang Kingdom?" Yun Shang frowned, "This palace is heavily guarded, how could he be injured?"
Qianyin pondered for a moment, and then said softly, "My servant heard that it seems that it was not an assassin, but someone from this palace. It seems that the perpetrator is of high status..." (To be continued)
