An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 240 The Encounter Of The Love Rivals (Part One)

It was probably because of the thought that Prince Jing was leaving tomorrow that they stayed in the

hall. Yun Shang asked servants to prepare a beautiful couch for Prince Jing. Half leaned on the couch

to read a book, while Prince Jing sat behind the table and read the pamphlet presented by the secret

guards. She was reading a book, and the whole room was quiet except the sound of her turning the

pages.

When Yun Shang woke up the next morning, she found Prince Jing was not by her side. She reached

out her hand to feel the bed. The bed next to her was already cold. He must have been gone for a long

time. She sat up after a while. Hearing the noise in the room, Qian Yin hurried into the room.

"How long has his highness been away?" Yun Shang said gently.

Qian Yin quietly observed Yun Shang's face, and saw her as calm as usual. She said gently, "An hour

and a half, his highness saw that Princess Yun Shang had a good sleep, so he told me not to disturb

you."

Yun Shang nodded and asked Qian Yin to prepare the toiletries, but her mind was in a mess. If he left,

then it would take a long time to see.

Yun Shang spent the whole day in her palace, browsing through a book on the bed and absent-minded.

She used to lead a comfortable life like this when she was alone. But now, it seemed that she was used

to the company of Prince Jing, which made her feel a little bit uncomfortable without him by her side.

After Prince Jing left, Yun Shang thought that since Li Jingyan and Xia Houjing were no longer keeping

watch on the Imperial City, Ning Qian must be bored in the palace, so she sent someone to call Ning

Qian over. Ning Qian made someone told the people that the Empress was not in good health, and

Ning Qian made a secret guard disguise as the Empress.

Emperor Ning decided to leave for Imperial City five days later after Prince Jing had left. Yun Shang

decided to see Jing Wenxi in prison.

Jing Wenxi seemed to have a bad life in the prison, in rags, but she was still like a high miss. She didn't

get angry when she saw Yun Shang and called her with a poker face, "Princess Hui Guo." Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Yun Shang asked the guards to open the door, and entered. "Now Miss Jing should call me Lady Jing."

Jing Wenxi smiled with contempt, "How long do you think you can live as his wife? Why did Prince Jing

marry you? Why don't you think about it? Are you afraid of the answer, or are you unwilling to do that?

Prince Jing is just interested in your identity as a princess. He is an ambitious Prince and you are able

to help him a lot. If one day he no longer needs you, I would like to see how he dumped you. "

Yun Shang didn't mind it at all. She smiled faintly and said, "Well, Miss Jing, just wait and see. I hope

Miss Jing can live until that day."

Jing Wenxi walked to Yun Shang, shook her head, and said, "Your Highness is noble, but you know

nothing about this. Believe it or not, neither his majesty nor Prince Jing will kill me. "

She glanced at Yun Shang, and smiled again. "My father is the Head of the Court of Rites, and works

for the Emperor. In the court, Grand Councilor Li and Prince Jing were of different forces. There were

not many forces that truly belonged to the Emperor. His majesty is a man with great power and

prestige. How could he abandon my father, the pawn, for the trifle between you and I? But Prince

Jing... Your highness, I'm afraid you don't know that Prince Jing has been trying to woo my father, who

has always doted on me. On the other hand, Prince Jing is trying to woo my father. How could he make

my father mad? Maybe I can call you sister in the near future. "

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing after hearing that, her eyes crooked with joy.

Jing Wenxi changed her face and sniffed, "What are you laughing at, your highness?"

Yun Shang looked up at Jing Wenxi and said, "I just don't know why Miss Jing is so confident? Not to

mention that Prince Jing and his royal highness don't think highly of your father as you think. He is just

a mere Head of the Court of Rites. Believe it or not, maybe your father will lose his position soon. Even

if it is as you said, my father and Prince Jing both want to win your father over to them. What would you

do if I kill you by accident in the prison today? "

Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at the only narrow window in the prison. "I just need to tell them

that Miss Jing wants to assassinate me, and my servants killed her by mistake. The Emperor will

summon your father, let him restrain his grief, and then give an order to bury you. And his highness...

He wouldn't even raise his eyebrows. Because I am still a princess, aren't I? And the wife of Prince

Jing. "

Jing Wenxi moved and showed surprise in her eyes. After a while, she sneered, "I underestimated you.

You are not as gentle and kind as I thought... What would the Emperor and Prince think of the

princess? "

"Think of me?" Yun Shang smiled without saying anything. "Do you think father and Prince Jing don't

know what I am like? Or didn't her majesty tell you that I was the one you need to be careful most? "

Jing Wenxi changed her face. She remembered the Empress's words when she asked her to come to

the palace the other day. "I know you are smart. I'll let you do it. But when you get to Laifeng Palace,

the one you need to be careful most is Yun Shang."

Jing Wenxi remembered the Empress's words at that time, but she was confused. She had seen

Princess Yun Shang several times. She was just a weak woman, quiet and harmless. What's more, she

seemed to have stayed in the Ning'guo Temple for a long time. All the girls had grown up in that temple

were only interested in eating, worshiping Buddha, and had no idea of all these dangers.
