An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 304 Promise (Part Two)

They didn't say what they were thinking about, but they exchanged an understanding look. Prince Jing

took hold of Yun Shang's hand, restrained his smile and sighed. "At that time, I really thought that I

would never be able to see you again. What annoyed me most was that I didn't even have the time to

tell you that I had a crush on you. Later on, i think that we have been married for more than half a year,

but we are always separated from each other. I haven't had time to accompany you. Then I started to

regret marrying you. I'm afraid you'll marry someone else sooner or later if I'm dead. Thinking that

maybe someone else will hold your hand, or that they will do something more intimate with you, I got

furious. Fortunately, God heard me crying. I was still alive after all... "

Yun Shang didn't expect these words from Prince Jing. She stared at him as if she didn't understand

what he meant.

Prince Jing was not in a hurry. He smiled, holding Yun Shang's hand, and whispered, "my identity is

something no matter what it is. There will be a way to solve it. It's okay. But I hope that no matter what

my identity is, I promise you that you will be my only wife. No matter what happens, you will be with

me."

Yun Shang remained speechless for a while. Then she suddenly remembered her first concerto with

him, a song called courting a Phoenix, which he said she must be the one to play together with him.

She was surprised and wondered why she suddenly thought of such a thing. She smiled and thought

that maybe fate had been decided at that time.

"Okay." Yun Shang raised her head and said determinedly, "it's my pleasure to have such an

outstanding Prince to accompany me."

Prince Jing was overjoyed and full of love for Yun Shang.

"Master, the doctor is here."

There came the voice of secret guards. Yun Shang was startled. She quickly bowed her head, stood up

and opened the door, "just go in. I'll go to see if Qian Yin's food is ready." Then she ran away as fast as

she could. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Puzzled, the secret guard looked at Yun Shang for a while, and asked the physician to get in, only to

find Prince Jing smiling at him. The physician paused, and turned to the secret guard, "Sir, let the

physician have a look at your wound."

Prince Jing said "yes", and the doctor went to him at once...

Since Prince Jing was awake, they came back to the imperial city faster. As Prince Jing said, there will

be a solution. Thinking of that, a smile appeared on Yun Shang's face. She kept her eyes on a book,

but didn't turn a page for a long time.

Prince Jing leaned against the carriage wall and had a rest with his eyes closed. The atmosphere in the

carriage was warm.

"Your Highnesses, we are going to enter the city." There was the secret guard's voice coming from

outside. Yun Shang lifted the curtain of the window and looked outside. She was indeed at the gate of

the imperial city. She was prepared for it, but still felt heavy.

The guards at the gate of the imperial city were examining the passers-by who would enter or leave the

Imperial City, so the carriage stopped. Qian Yin pushed the door open and crawled in. "The snow is so

heavy. It snowed heavily on our way here. But it seems we can't make it even if we get there in a

minute."

Then she saw Prince Jing was taking a rest. She asked softly, "Your Highness, shall we go back to

Prince Jing's mansion first?"

Yun Shang thought for a while and slightly nodded. "I feel tired after a long journey. I'd like to go back to

Prince Jing's mansion and have a rest first. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to pay respects to father

and mother. It is impolite to go in such a rush."

Qian Yin nodded and said to the outside of the carriage, "Luo Yi, let's go back to Prince Jing's mansion

first."

It seemed that the secret guard had informed the mansion of Prince Jing's condition. When they got off

the carriage, the butler, who was waiting at the gate, walked up to Prince Jing and held him up. "Your

Highness, I've been informed by her highness that your highness was hurt. I was so worried about

you."

Prince Jing smiled and looked at the woman who got off the carriage. After she got off the carriage, he

took her hand and turned to the butler. "Nothing. Just a little injury."

The chamberlain was clever. He could tell what happened when Prince Jing and Yun Shang got off the

carriage. Though he felt relieved when he knew that Yun Shang and Prince Jing came back, he replied,

"thank you very much. The servants have already cleaned the mansion. It was the new year's Eve just

now. Though Prince Jing and Lady jing were not in the mansion, it's necessary for me to make some

arrangements. The place looks more festive. The dinner is ready. But I'm afraid your highness and her

highness haven't enjoyed a good meal and taken a good rest on your way here. "

"Thank you, sir." Yun Shang smiled and held Prince Jing's arm, walking towards Prince Jing's mansion.

"Here comes the imperial edict..." Before entering the door, a sharp and thin voice sounded from afar,

but a little familiar. Yun Shang stopped her steps and the smile on her face disappeared. She knew that

her father must have sent people to inquire about their whereabouts. As soon as they entered the city,

the imperial edict came before they arrived.

Yun Shang turned around and saw Lord Zheng on his horse towards them. The bright yellow brocade

and the silk were not in his hands. Master Zheng dismounted from the horse and walked towards Yun

Shang and Prince Jing with a smile. "Your Highnesses..."

Prince Jing nodded slightly. "Master Zheng came with his Majesty's decree?"

Master Zheng smiled, and his eyes fell on Prince Jing. He found that Prince Jing was almost entirely

leaning on Yun Shang. After a slight pause, he smiled. "It's his Majesty's imperial edict. His majesty is

worried about the two's safety. When he knows that Prince Jing and Lady Jing have returned to the

Imperial City, he sent me here to deliver an imperial edict, letting Prince Jing and his wife visit the

palace."

Yun Shang frowned and hesitated. "By rights, we should go to the imperial palace as soon as possible.

We haven't eaten yet after the long journey. I'm a little hungry. Besides, we're being impolite like this.

Please go back to the palace and tell his majesty that we have changed our clothes and eaten before

going into the palace. "

Master Zheng looked at the two and found they were indeed tired. They both wore plain white clothes.

Yun Shang nodded. "I'll report it now."

Prince Jing also politely nodded, "thank you, master Zheng."

Master Zheng smiled, and mounted his horse. He bowed to Yun Shang and Prince Jing before

departed for the palace.

Yun Shang frowned and was unhappy. After a long silence, she said to Prince Jing, "let's go inside."

Prince Jing nodded and entered the mansion with Yun Shang.

Although Lord Zheng had reported to the emperor that Yun Shang and Prince Jing would be in the

Imperial Palace soon, the only thing they could do was to get changed and eat. Then they hurried to

the imperial palace.

Emperor Ning was waiting for them in Qinzheng Hall. When master Zheng saw them, he hurried to

them, "your Highnesses, please come in. His majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

Yun Shang looked up at Prince Jing. Prince Jing smiled, took her hand and went into the qinzheng hall

with her. Emperor Ning was reading the memorial when he saw them. He looked up and down at them

for a long time before they stood in front of the imperial cases and saluted. Emperor Ning said

smilingly, "Qingyan and shang'er are here. Get up."

Then he looked at Prince Jing again. "I heard that Prince Jing was seriously injured. are you alright?"

After this, he raised his voice, "bring a chair for Prince Jing as soon as possible."

Prince Jing answered in a hurry, "I've been in a coma for a while. Although my wound has slowly

healed, it still hurts. And my feet are not strong enough. Besides, I'm supported when I walk. I think I

look like a disabled person now."

Emperor Ning paused before he continued, "we have to call the imperial physician. The wound cannot

be delayed. What if it gets worse?" Then he asked Lord Zheng to come in and sent for the imperial

physician.

Prince Jing didn't refuse him and smiled.

Yun Shang looked back and forth between the two men in surprise. She thought her father would lose

his temper, but it seemed that nothing had happened between the two men, just as they had been

together before.

But she was more worried. She almost forgot that her father was the emperor of the state, and Prince

Jing was the God of war that the enemy would tremble with fear. Such two people would never easily

expose their true emotions. However, the more they hid themselves, the more dangerous they were.

She really couldn't figure out what they were thinking.

Emperor Ning's eyes, however, turned to Yun Shang, and smiled in a softer way. "You have made a

splash this time. I heard that you lead troops to fight more and more well in the KY City and Jingyang

City. I've already received some compliments from several generals, and they are all very appreciated

for you. I don't know, shang'er is actually so capable.You have really given me a good scare. "

Hearing this, Yun Shang laughed. "Father is cheated by those generals again. I'm a princess as well as

Lady Jing. How dare they let me fight with them myself? It's just a slip of the tongue in the camp. The

soldiers in the border are all experienced generals. They're independent. The battle must be the reward

of the generals who went to fight. I dare not take the credit. These generals praised me so much. They

must think that I'm the daughter of his majesty. It's always good to flatter me. If my father is happy, he

might reward them handsomely. father, you can't be easily fooled by them. These generals are very

cunning. "
