An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 305 Change In The Palace (Part One)

"Really?" Emperor Ning squinted at Yun Shang with an amiable smile. "Did the generals bully you? Tell

me, what happened? How dare he bully my shang'er? I won't spare them easily. "

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and said indifferently, "father, you're overthinking things. I always

know myself well. I'm a girl from a family that has nothing to do with the military strategies in the deep

palace. Besides, I don't know much about war. I know nothing about war. So I have to listen to those

generals." A murderous look passed her eyes as she finished her words. But it disappeared in an

instant. Yun Shang knew that emperor Ning must have seen it.

Prince Jing turned around as soon as she finished speaking. There was a touch of coldness in his

eyes. He curved his lips into a mocking smile and said, "you are so kind, shang'er. The guards at the

border take care of their local villains without the help of others. But they went too far. Not only didn't

they listen to you, but they also didn't care about my shang'er's well-being. Yun Shang was taken to the

army of the state of Xia's camp, and hurt by the toxic smoke from Liu Yinfeng's array. If I didn't arrive in

time and took Qing Cang with me, who was good at arrays, I was afraid that shang'er would... "

After a pause, Prince Jing lowered his head and snorted coldly.

Blue veins stood out on emperor Ning's forehead. He slapped the imperial case heavily, and asked,

"who on earth has the audacity to do that?" is it Qi Lang? I'll skin him alive. "

However, Yun Shang stepped forward, took emperor Ning's hand and said gently, "father, I'm fine.

Besides, general Qi should be rewarded for leading the army to win the battle. But general Qi is too old

to fight on the battlefield. What about my father appoint him as a free officer? How about just letting him

retire. "

The emperor kept silent for a while. Then he nodded, "okay. I'll follow your advice."

Just after that, a voice outside, "Lady Jin is here."

Lady Jin? Yun Shang was surprised and delighted. Perhaps her father promoted her rank because her

mother gave birth to Chenxi. Thinking of this, she turned around, looking at the woman walking in from

the outside.

She was dressed in a plain dress, with a silver cloak decorated with fox fur, and the wide skirt stretched

behind her, presenting an elegant and gorgeous aura. Her jade like hair was worn in a fairy hairstyle,

and she walked with her jade steps. She stared at Yun Shang, smiling.

"Shang'er..." Lady Jin hurried to her daughter. When she saw Yun Shang, she walked up to her and

took hold of Yun Shang's hands. She looked at Yun Shang from head to toe for a long time, and then

smiled, "it's good that you are back, Yun Shang. It's good that you are all right." Yun Shang saw the

worry in her eyes and her heart softened. She smiled and held her hand. "Mother, I'm fine."

Emperor Ning gazed at Lady Jin with tenderness in his eyes. Seeing that both of the two ladies were

quite excited, Emperor Ning felt a little funny and said to lady Jin, "you worry about Yun Shang day and

night. Just as I said, shang'er will be fine."

Then he said to Yun Shang, "during the days when you were not in the palace, your mother kept asking

me when you would come back. Now, you finally come back. You and your mother must have endless

whispers to each other. Lady Jin, take Yun Shang to Jinxiu palace. I have something to talk with my

brother. After a while, I'll go there with you for dinner. "

Lady Jin nodded, smiling, held Yun Shang's hand and said, "you haven't seen your brother for months.

It's time for him to wake up..."

Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "I wonder what he looks like now. Does he look like my mother more

or my father more?" They left the Qinzheng Hall hand in hand, and Lady Jin took Yun Shang to a

palace gate.

Yun Shang looked up and saw the words "Jinxiu Palace" hanging above the gate.

She recalled that her father had asked her mother to take her back to Jinxiu palace. Maybe she had

moved out of Qiwu Palace and lived here now? What happened in the palace when she was away?

Lady Jin entered Jinxiu palace with Yun Shang. There were many people in the palace. As soon as

Lady Jin came in, they curtsied to lady jin, "Your Highness." They looked at Yun Shang with curiosity.

Those maids didn't seem familiar. They might not recognize Yun Shang as they was new in the palace.

All the way through the courtyard filled with plum blossoms and entering the front hall, a familiar figure

came out. Seeing Yun Shang full of surprise, the woman went up to her quickly. "Your Highness... Your

highness! "

Yun Shang smiled, took madam Zheng's hand, and nodded, "yes, madam. I'm back."

"Come on in. It's cold outside. Don't catch a cold." Madam Zheng hurriedly led Yun Shang into the main

hall. Yun Shang looked around. The Jinxiu palace, which she had been here once, was already very

prosperous. Now it seemed to have been renovated as Lady Jin lived in. It was much more magnificent

than before.

Lady Jin let the maids serve the tea and left, and only madam Zheng was waiting on her side.

When there was nobody around, Yun Shang looked away and turned to lady Jin. "Why did mother

move to Jinxiu palace?"

Lady Jin smiled and said, "with Chenxi in the palace, his majesty said that the side hall of Qiwu palace

was a bit out of order, so he asked me to move here. He also found some maids and servants."

Lady Jin was smiling, but there wasn't any joy in her eyes. Yun Shang assumed that something must Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

have happened. But lady Jin didn't want her to worry about it, so she wouldn't tell her. Yun Shang

thought for a while and said with a smile, "it's spacious." She paused and took a sip of tea. "Before I

left, the grand councilor had the empress grounded. The grand councilor was the traitor. If his daughter

holds the position of the empress again, it would probably incur dissatisfaction from all the courtiers."

Lady Jin remained silent for a moment and sighed. "His majesty has decreed that Li Yiran's position of

empress be abolished."

Abolish the empress... Yun Shang couldn't help squinting. Since Li Yiran had been abolished, no one

else in the imperial household could assume the title of an empress other than her mother. Moreover,

her father hasn't had a son yet. Why did her mother just be promoted as a lady, not the empress?

Yun Shang's fingers were a little hot on the tea cup. After a long while, she asked an irrelevant

question. "The grand councilor Li has also been abolished. Who is the new grand councilor now?"

"Jing Kui, the former Head of the Court of Rites." Lady Jin paused and said softly.

Yun Shang almost knocked over the cup. She knew who he was, but she didn't care who he was. The

most important thing was that he was Jing Wenxi's father.

Yun Shang's eyes flashed with anger, "Head of the Court of Rites? How could he be the grand

councilor? What about Jing Wenxi? "

Lady Jin kept silent longer this time. Yun Shang didn't get any response from her, so she looked up at

madam Zheng and asked, "madam, tell me, what on earth happened when I was away? How come

Jing Kui become the grand councilor? "
