Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 569

It was getting cooler. Yun Shang summoned tailors for new clothes. As she got measured, everyone in the room suddenly hold their breath and became alert.

Yun Shang frowned and listened carefully. Someone was approaching quietly. Yun Shang winked at Qian Liu. The two maids exchanged looks and walked to the window. They pushed the window open and rushed out of it in a flash. With a scream, the comer had been caught.

Yun Shang walked to the window and looked out. She saw Wang Jinghuan in red was pressed against the wall by the two maids in an extremely twisted posture.

Yun Shang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Oh, Your Highness, I'm wang Jinhuan, Wang Jinhuan. I'm not a sex manic. Moreover, I don't dare to mess up with you, or Luo Qingyan will break my leg. Your Highness, ask your two maids to let go of me. How could you two be so rude? Nobody will marry you." Just as he finished speaking, a cry followed. He wailed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll shut up."

"You ask for it." Yun Shang rolled her eyes and waved to let Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo go.

Wang Jinhuan straightened up and moaned for a while. Then he jumped in from the window, rubbing his arms. He looked around and asked, "eh, is Luo Qingyan not here?"

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "He is at the training ground and may just need someone to practice his fists with. Go to him quickly."

Wang Jinhuan stepped back and looked at Yun Shang in an exaggerated way. "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? You're being cynical like Luo Qingyan. That's not good."

While they were talking, there was a voice coming from outside, "what is not good?" Luo Qingyan came back.

Wang Jinhuan coughed and smiled. He walked to Luo Qingyan who was lifting the door curtain, "Oh, Your Highness, These days I've been working for you outside the Imperial Palace. I'm so exhausted and I could only sleep for two hours every day. Some time ago when it was still hot, I was bitten by mosquitoes all over my body. Look at me, does my skin look much worse than before?"

Luo Qingyan snorted, "really? Why did I hear from our secret guards that you indulged yourself in the brothels all day and almost forgot your work? What's more, you ignored their advice and said that I can't do anything to you anyway. And you just leave all the work to the guards."

Wang Jinhuan stepped back, coughed slightly, and said, "Your Highness, the Eldest Princess has already entered the Jin City."

Yun Shang smiled and listened to Wang Jinhuan's gags. Suddenly she heard him say this. She was surprised, "the Eldest Princess?"

Luo Qingyan turned to Yun Shang and nodded, "You've mentioned that it was the Eldest Princess who recommended Ning Qian into the Imperial Palace. I felt that she was not simple, so I asked Wang Jinhuan to trail her."

Yun Shang remained silent. She agreed with Luo Qingyan. Wang Jinhuan shouted, "Your Highness, you seem to be interested in the Eldest Princess too. I've met a secret guard of yours."

"Yes. Several days ago, Ning Qian said that the Eldest Princess would come back, so I sent someone to follow her, but we didn't find anything suspicious." Yun Shang said flatly, "since the Eldest Princess had been praying in the temple, we might find nothing on her."

"Pray?" Wang Jinhuan sneered, "The Eldest Princess was hanging a bull's head over the door, but selling horse meat on the inside. Although he claimed she was praying there, in fact, every night there was one monk in the temple sneaked into her room. The Eldest Princess is around 50, but she is such a slut. She really made so sick that I even want to poke my eyes blind."

"Go ahead." Luo Qingyan said coldly, "that's all you have seen these days?"

Wang Jinhuan sighed, "No, it seems the Eldest Princess is targeting the throne. I noticed that some of the people she summoned these days are special. I have asked someone to check their identities. They are all civil officials and military officers, and even the counsellors from the Seventh Prince's mansion. I also found servants from Prince Rui's mansion. And I accidentally found that the Eldest Princess had someone drill the soldiers in a valley not far from the palace of Buddha. About thirty thousand soldiers were hidden in the valley, so were many weapons."

A touch of astonishment flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, "she is targeting the throne?"

Yun Shang had thought that the Eldest Princess was probably up to something that she recommend a beauty to Xia Huanyu. But it never occurred to her that what she actually wanted was that position.

"I've trailed her for only a short period, so this is all I found. I wonder if she has hidden more soldiers and weapons elsewhere. That woman is by no means simple. She is very scheming and ambitious. We should be careful." Wang Jinhuan said.

Yun Shang shook her head, "No, I was just a little surprised. The Emperor ordered Hua Yutong to marry the seventh Prince as his legal wife, and Liu Chuchu as his concubine. None of these who are recommended by the three big clans has been chosen into the imperial household."

Luo Qingyan opened the list and looked at it. After a while, he said, "I have no idea what he is planning. The Liu clan has ties of kinship with the Seventh Prince. But now, the Seventh Prince id more powerful and looks down upon them. This time, the Liu clan made great efforts to send Liu Chuchu into the Imperial Palace, thinking that if she was favored, they could have a foothold in front of the seventh Prince. However, the Emperor appointed Liu Chuchu to the seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince would never lay a finger on Liu Chuchu, which meant their plan has been ruined. Hua Yutong is from the Hua family. They all think that the Hua family is on mu side. If she marries into the Seventh Prince's mansion. I'm afraid he'll be extremely careful of her. Hum, it's interesting."

Yun Shang remained silent for a long time and said, "His Majesty did this for you as well. Although I am the princess of the State of Ning, the status is useless in the State of Xia. And you refused to marry any concubine, so you won't be involved into political marriages. His Majesty appointed Liu Chuchu and Hua Yutong to the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prnce will not get anything he wants from the their families. In this way, there is no way that he can use the position of being his princess as a bait to unite with other forces in the court. After all, the influential officials are definitely not willing to marry their daughters to him as his concubines."

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan paused for a long time before he said faintly, "maybe."

Yun Shang knew that he still had grudge against Xia Huanyu, so she stopped talking about it. She changed the topic with a smile and said, "The selection is almost over, and the outcome is quite satisfying. We have enough time now, what about we find a suitable day to hold wedding for Luo Yi and Qian Yin? Luo Yi has been serving you for so long, and Qian Yin has done so much for me. Their wedding should be more ceremonious.

Luo Qingyan smiled, held Yun Shang's shoulder and said, "It's up to you. This will be the first ceremony held in our mansion since we got married. Well, both of us have some bad experiences recently. It's good to have it sweep away our bad luck."

While they were talking, the butler came in and stood at the door.

Luo Qingyan glanced at him and stopped smiling. "What's wrong?"

The butler bowed his head and said, "Your Highnesses, the Eldest Princess has arrived and handed the invitation card. I told her that you are grounded and I am not sure if you could see any guest and I'll come to ask you first. Your Highness, what should I reply her?"

"The Eldest Princess?" Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect she would be so desperate.

Luo Qingyan meditated for a moment, and then said to the butler, "Since she's here, ask her to wait in the flower hall for a moment. We'll be there soon."
