Prince Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Shang beside him, only to see that her gaze was also on the flower in his hand, and there seemed to be a look of "that's right" in her eyes. Prince Jing knew that she must have understood what was going on. Because of this, there was no trace of panic, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the pride in Prime Minister Li's eyes that hadn't had time to take back.
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, threw the flowers in his hand on the ground, his face was so cold that people could be horrified, "Brother Emperor, it seems that my younger brother is not suitable to touch these flowers and grasses, these flowers are so delicate , how can you win the leader of the flower viewing party? The best flowers in Ningguo should have perseverance." Then he took the flower from Yunshang's hand, and the flower withered quickly, Prince Jing slightly Curling the corners of her lips, she turned to look at Wen Ruyu, "I wonder if Miss Wen can tell me why the same flower withers in my hands? Chang'er won't do it if she holds it?"
Prime Minister Li frowned slightly, but he did not expect that Prince Jing would also take the flowers from Yun Shang's hand. Prime Minister Li glanced at Wen Ruyu who seemed to be frightened by King Jing's face, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's because this flower likes women?" Picking up the withered flower, "It's just a pity, such wonderful flowers are rare."
When Prime Minister Li said this, his eyes fell on Yunshang and King Jing, because he could clearly feel that there was some 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, people will set up a ring here, and the people of the imperial city can get a piece of it." Leaves, throw them in front of your favorite flowers. Now, the result has not yet come out, in order to ensure fairness, all the adults present, please move to the small palace in the east of the city and take a rest for a while." Prime Minister Li said leisurely.
Everyone followed the guidance of the servants to the direction of the palace. Yun Shang approached King 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. , man. This on me is just a foil, maybe Prime Minister Li is afraid that we will have some doubts when we see that the two people's dresses are unexpectedly different."
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, a strange reaction to a man
Some singing and dancing performances were prepared in the palace, but many outsiders were present, and the flower presenters were all official ladies, which was inconvenient, so Yun Chang led the flower presenter women to the garden.
The maid poured tea for all the ladies, and Yun Chang picked up the tea, and looked at the women present under the cover of the teacup.
Many women were selected from various cities, and their wealth and appearance were all top-notch, but after all, it was the first time to see so many noble people, and their expressions were a little uneasy. However, Wen Ruyu, who was supposed to be as cold as ice, seemed a little restless, and kept looking casually at the gate of the garden.
Yun Chang looked around and pondered for a long while before discovering a strange thing. The emperor said that Hua Jing would come here today, but there was no trace of Hua Jing.
Yunshang found Qianyin and whispered a few words in her ear. Qianyin nodded and stepped back. Wen Ruyu seemed to have noticed Qianyin's departure. She glanced at Yunshang, but saw Yunshang's expression was as usual , was about to get up, looking for an excuse to take a look, then heard Yunshang's voice and remembered, "My princess is here, but you are a little uncomfortable? It's okay, it's just a nap, let's talk casually, The princess asked the servant girl to find something to play with, and we will also play for a while, it's still early."
When many women saw the noble princess for the first time, they felt a little bit of fear, and they all said that the women of the Tian family were very pampered and had a bad temper. Everyone quietly looked at the smiling Yun Chang, and said to themselves, it's not that bad, it's even kinder than some spoiled official ladies.
Then someone who wanted to stand out smiled and said, "It's the first time for women to see the honorable Princess Huiguo. Before that, they only heard the name of Princess Huiguo in some folk legends. I heard that Princess Huiguo is just When I was seven or eight years old, I cared about the common people. When there was a drought that year, the princess went to Ningguo Temple to pray for blessings, and asked for the decree of Abbot Wuna, so the rain fell. The princess is a blessing to the people."
Yun Shang heard the words, covered her mouth and laughed, "I don't know that there are such rumors, you have also seen that this princess is just an ordinary woman, and she has no other advantages, but I just saw your performance. All of them are talented.”
All the girls were overjoyed when they heard the words. Many of them came here with the idea of flying on the branches to become phoenixes. The princess is noble and the emperor's favorite daughter. If she is willing to say something for them in front of the emperor Well, you don't have to worry about anything.
So, when someone asked eagerly, "Which of us plays the princess likes the most?"
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, looked at Wen Ruyu with a smile, her gaze was a little appreciative, "Just now Miss Wen's palm has a flower, which is really refreshing, and just now my father also praised it, saying, Miss Wen is really beautiful!" Well-deserved reputation, people are more delicate than flowers."
Everyone looked at Wen Ruyu like sharp swords, with a bit of resentment in their eyes, it really was her. Even though the flower is very ordinary, and it depends only on the flower growing on the palm, even the emperor praised her...
Wen Ruyu seemed to have sensed the jealous eyes of everyone, but Wen Ruyu had always been arrogant, and she didn't like Yunshang at all. She didn't expect that the one who died was her sister. , I felt even more uneasy in my heart, and said with a cold smile, "It's just a small skill, but the lady represents the imperial city after all, so it should be more prominent than others."
When Yun Shang heard Wen Ruyu's words, her heart burst into a smile. This Wen Ruyu really couldn't be excited, as she could tell from her previous targeting of Jing Wenxi.
It's just that Yunshang didn't show such emotions on her face, she just smiled slightly and said, "My princess can't agree with Miss Wen's words. These ladies are all citizens of Ningguo, and they represent all It is the territory of our Ning country, so why do you have such noble and lowly words?"
Hearing this, Wen Ruyu frowned, and snorted coldly, "Even in the imperial city, there are distinctions between high and low, let alone such a big Ning country? It's unlikely that a maid can be as successful as her master." ?”
The favorability of the other women present towards Yun Chang increased a lot, and some women who were annoyed by Wen Ruyu said, "Miss Wen is a lady from everyone, but I don't know, does Miss Wen have an order? Miss Wen It should be of a very high rank, right?"
Wen Ruyu became even more displeased, "This girl doesn't know the laws of Ningguo. She is not a concubine, a relative of the emperor, and she is still an unmarried woman. Her husband has never made great achievements. How can she have orders and ranks?"
The young lady seemed to have suddenly realized, "Oh... just now, the civilian girl thought that Miss Wen already had an imperial order and was of a very high rank after hearing what Miss Wen said. It turns out that she is the same as us, just a commoner."
Yun Chang's eyes lightly glanced at the woman who spoke, but she saw that she looked cute, but she looked at Wen Ruyu's eyes with a bit of sarcasm, but what she said made Yun Chang couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, This woman is quite interesting, she is used to cursing people around corners, 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 I heard the woman say again, "It's just that Miss Wen never had an imperial order. She is a commoner girl. Princess Huiguo is the emperor's daughter, and she is a first-class princess who was bestowed the title by the emperor himself. Miss Wen talks to the princess like that. Is it inappropriate? Miss Wen just asked about the laws of Ningguo. She must be very clear about the laws of Ningguo. Then, can Miss Wen tell the girl how to deal with disrespecting a princess who is a first-class princess? "
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, and said with a light smile, "This young lady's words made Miss Wen speechless. Miss Wen's father, Mr. Wen, is the servant of the household department and a pillar of the country. He must be busy with business on weekdays. I neglect to teach Miss Wen, Mrs. Wen is dedicated to serving the people, so naturally this princess has to treat Miss Wen well, so as not to worry about Mrs. Wen, just now Miss Wen just made a joke with this princess, you don’t have to take it seriously.” Said Then he turned his eyes to the woman who spoke, "Where is this young lady from?"
The woman hurriedly said, "Little girl Sun Yaniang, from Jincheng."
Yun Shang smiled slightly, "Oh? So it's the daughter of the prefect of Jincheng? It's a pleasure to meet you..."
Sun Yaniang didn't seem very happy when she heard the words, she just responded lightly, "The princess loves you."
Just as everyone was saying this, they saw a person who looked like a maid walking into the garden. Yun Shang saw a smile flashing in the eyes of Wen Ruyu, who was still full of displeasure just now, and his eyes swept across Yun Chang's face, with a smile on his face. A bit of anticipation.
Yunshang looked towards the maid, and felt that the maid looked a little familiar. Just as she was recalling where she had seen her before, she saw the maid kneeling down in front of Yunshang, "Princess, this servant is Princess Huajing." The servants around me, Princess Huajing, were relaxing in the backyard. Because they were not in a good mood recently, they asked the servants to retreat. However, the servants had just searched all possible places in the backyard, but they could not find Princess Huajing. .”
Yun Chang quickly stood up and walked in front of the servant girl, with a look of anxiety on her face, "What did you say? Miss Huang disappeared? How did you serve her?"
Yun Chang was reprimanding the maid, when Wen Ruyu said softly, "It's useless to reprimand her now, the princess should let someone find Princess Huajing."
Yun Chang nodded, summoned the guards, and asked the guards to look around.
Qianyin also walked in, smiled and nodded to Yunshang.
"Ah..." There was an exclamation, and everyone was taken aback. Yun Shang hurriedly said, "Quickly, let the guards follow the sound to find it. The emperor and ministers are still in the front yard, so we must protect them." emperor."
The leader of the guards quickly responded and stepped back, Wen Ruyu said softly again, "Princess, what happened? Why don't we go and take a look?"
Yun Chang's face turned cold, "Everyone can't go anywhere in this back garden. If there are assassins, all of us girls will be of no help, but will distract the guards' attention. This princess has always been guarded by hidden guards. The princess is the safest around you."
When the other women heard this, they nodded quickly. They didn't know what happened, but they also knew that as long as they followed Yunshang, there would be nothing wrong. There must be a cloud of masters around her.
Wen Ruyu never thought that Yun Shang, who never seemed to be very assertive, would be so tough at this time, and her somewhat cold face was faintly similar to Prince Jing. I underestimated the little girl in front of me.
But, if we can't take these women there now, how will this play start... I was very distressed in my heart, and just about to speak, I heard the woman named Sun Yaniang softly said, "Princess is the most beautiful girl among us." Honorable ones, the daughters of the people should obey the order of the princess."
Just as Wen Ruyu was about to slip out, the words stuck in her throat.
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 that it was King Jing's voice, and raised her eyebrows. Now that he appears here, it means that someone's calculation seems to have failed, and she replied with a smile, "Uncle, We are fine, the garden is full of women, if other people break in, it is not good, Uncle Emperor, please leave a few guards at the door, don't let idlers get close."
The people outside responded, but there was no more sound.
Wen Ruyu's face turned pale, and when the voice sounded just now, he hadn't realized who was speaking, but he was shocked when he heard Yun Shang call the emperor's uncle. Anyone who could make Yun Shang call the emperor's uncle, except Jingwang Luo To put it bluntly, there is no one else.
But, why is Prince Jing here at this time
Wen Ruyu's heart was beating like a drum, and she became uneasy. Just now King Jing was clearly wearing the clothes that the Prime Minister had specially prepared for him, and he had tried it just now, and the flower withered quickly after being held by King Jing, which meant that it was already half finished, but what happened just now? Why did Prince Jing appear here? Moreover, listening to the voice, it seemed that nothing happened at all.
If Prince Jing is fine, where did that scream come from
Just thinking about it, I heard another voice outside the garden, "Princess Yunshang is inside, what's going on inside..."
Before the words finished, a stern reprimand sounded, "Seventh Prince, please stop, there are some women inside, if the prince goes in, the reputation of those women inside will not be very good."
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, the scolding voice sounded like Wang Jinhuan? Yun Shang is also a little uncertain. Wang Jinhuan has always spoken frivolously, so it may be difficult for him to show such a stern look and scold Xia Houjing severely.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Xia Houjing's voice sound again, but he was clearly displeased, "It is said that Ningguo is a huge country, and it is very polite, but, is this how you treat guests?"
As soon as Xia Houjing's voice fell, he heard a chuckle. This chuckle convinced Yun Shang that the person outside was really Wang Jinhuan. When meeting someone with status who wanted to force his way in, even ordinary guards wouldn't be able to stop him, so he even sent Wang Jinhuan, a man who would never lose against a scoundrel.
"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 has always been gentle and refined, but, looking at your appearance, it doesn't seem like it? Say, who are you? Pretend to be Xia What exactly does the Seventh Prince of the Kingdom intend to do?"
Yunshang couldn't help laughing out loud, "My lord, stop joking with the Seventh Prince, Yunshang should be more concerned about the Seventh Prince, everything is safe here, but it's true that there are some young girls who have not left the court in this garden , some inconvenience, I hope the Seventh Prince will forgive me."
It was quiet outside before I heard Xia Houjing say softly, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore."
As she said that, it seemed that footsteps really sounded, and Yun Shang felt that Wen Ruyu, who had stood beside her at some point, seemed to become more nervous, holding her hands tightly, and her eyes were full of anxiety.
Yun Shang paused in her heart, could it be... Xia Houjing and Wen Ruyu...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard another voice outside thinking about it, but this time, the voice was suppressed a little low, and everyone couldn't hear it clearly, but Yun Chang could hear it clearly.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, and said in a tone, "I'm afraid the emperor and the prince will forget about us when they get busy, go and see what happened outside, go and come back quickly."
Qianyin nodded and walked out of the garden. Everyone looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes, but they all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Yun Shang turned her head to look at the crowd, and said with a smile, "All things can be handled by those men outside. We don't have to be so nervous. Our safety should be safe. Instead of speculating secretly and making everyone flustered, why don't we come here?" Play some games to divert your attention, there is nothing to play at this time, let’s be more ordinary, let’s play Poetry Solitaire, what do you think?”
Although all the people present were women, they were all of some status in the family. Naturally, they had received excellent education, and they knew ordinary poems, so they all sat down and played according to Yunshang's meaning.
After playing for a while, they saw Qianyin coming in, and everyone turned their heads to look at Qianyin eagerly. Qianyin walked up to Yunshang and saluted, "Princess, my servant went to inquire, it seems It was the third prince of the Yelang Kingdom who had an accident and seemed to be injured. What happened, the servants were ignorant and couldn't find out... "
"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, "From what I hear, it seems that the servant is not an assassin, but someone in this palace. It seems that the murderer has a high status..."
