Chapter 165 Flower Show Guide (Part Three)


    Yun Shang requested leave from the Emperor and the Empress, and returned to Qingxin Pce with


    Qian Yin. As soon as Qian Yin entered the Hall, she told everything that had happened at Qiwu Pce


    to Qin Yi. She gloated, "Qin Yi, you should have seen the expression of the Empress and Hua Jing. It


    was so exciting. However, I think Hua Jing looked more quiet and not as stupid as she was before."


    Yun Shang smiled at the fact that Hua Jing was not a fool. Actually, she was cunning enough to


    prepare schemes in advance. However, Hua Jing had been spoiled since her childhood. She may be


    smart, but she never knew how to exercise patience.


    If she learned how to restrain herself, she would certainly be a good opponent. An opponent that Yun


    Shang wouldn''t be able to ignore so easily. What a pity that she was too conceited to learn that.


    Qin Yi felt uneasy about Yun Shang making fun of the Emperor. She said with hesitation, "Your


    Highness, will Lady Ya be angry at you?"


    Yun Shang smiled faintly and shook her head, "I have trained Lady Ya for a long time. So, she won''t


    feel anger at such a trivial matter. On the contrary, this can help her. I saw the Empress wanted to draw


    Lady Ya over to her side, but felt she couldn''t be fully trusted. If I fool with Lady Ya either by ident or


    on purpose, the Empress will trust her more."


    The two maids listened and agreed with a nod, before dropping the topic. Then, Qin Yi whispered,


    "Your Highness, a short while ago a message was delivered from the master. She warns that you


    should take proper precautions against the Li n. Since those envoys are staying in the Imperial City


    now, she is worried that people from the Li n might y dirty tricks against you. Li n has set


    many spies at the Imperial Pce, and you should be careful."


    Yun Shang was moved. Although Lady Jin was awaiting her delivery at the temporary imperial pce


    in Laifeng, she was paying attention to the movements and trends in the Imperial City to warn Yun


    Shang about any possible danger in advance.


    Yun Shang smiled faintly, "I see."


    Although Yun Shang did prepare herself against possible risks, the Li n still tried to hurt Yun Shang


    in an unexpected way.


    The day before the Flower Show Banquet, Grand Councilor Li came to the Imperial Pce. Later, Yun


    Shang was summoned by Lord Zheng to Qinzheng Hall. When she changed and arrived at Qinzheng


    Hall, she saw Prince Jing walking toward the Hall in haste.


    Yun Shang meditated for a moment and still couldn''t figure out why they had both been summoned.


    When Prince Jing and Yun Shang entered Qinzheng Hall, they saw Grand Councilor Li sitting beside

    the Emperor with a serious expression. He was talking with the Emperor.


    Emperor Ning saw the Prince and Princess and greeted them with a smile, "My dear brother, you have


    After Yun Shang and Prince Jing were seated, Emperor Ning said, "I summon you here for one reason.


    A man and a woman are needed at the Flower Show Banquet to be the Flower Show Guide. The third


    son of Grand Councilor Li and the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites were appointed


    to do this job. However, the Vice Minister''s daughter has caught smallpox and no suitable alternative


    can be found in a short time. I think you two should take up this responsibility. Being the Flower Show


    Guide is a huge glory. In my opinion, there is no couple more suitable than you two."


    Yun Shang hadn''t attended the Flower Show Banquet before, so she had no idea of what the Flower


    Show Guides did. She looked at Prince Jing inquiringly in despair. Prince Jing sensed her nce and


    answered softly, "The Flower Show Guide is thepere at the Flower Show Banquet. They are asked


    to conduct the devout worship on behalf of the yers before the opening of the banquet. Then, they


    will conduct the females presenting a bouquet to introduce their flowers, talents, and performance."


    Yun Shang nodded as she now had a better understanding. She sneered at the sudden illness of the


    daughter of the Vice Minister just one day before the Flower Show Banquet. She tried but failed to


    guess the true intention behind this. She was worried that Grand Councilor Li had set a trap and waited


    for them to swallow the bait.


    However, Yun Shang didn''t dare to refuse the Emperor''s proposal, although she felt anxious. She


    looked at Prince Jing for a moment and said softly, "It''s my honor to do this. However, I haven''t


    attended the Flower Show Banquet before and have little knowledge of it. So, I ask for Grand Councilor


    Li''s advice."


    Grand Councilor Li saw that both Yun Shang and Prince Jing didn''t raise any objection and replied in


    haste, "It''s my duty to help you."


    Soon afterwards, Grand Councilor Li proposed that Yun Shang and Prince Jing apany him to the


    banquet''s venue to familiarize them and introduce matters that required special attention.


    Yun Shang agreed and took leave with the excuse of getting changed. Then, the Emperor allowed


    Prince Jing to escort Yun Shang back to Qingxin Pce.


    "It''s obvious that a plot is awaiting us. But I don''t know what it is." Yun Shang sneered with an air of


    contempt.


    Prince Jing looked at Yun Shang. However, he didn''t care about the plot and said to Yun Shang, "I


    heard Master Wu Na congratted you on your destined marriage."


    Yun Shang was puzzled and had no idea why their conversation had been changed to such a topic.


    Then, she heard Prince Jingughing softly and gently before he added, "I''m pleased to be received


    and approved by Master Wu Na."


    Yun Shang blushed scarlet and said, "I and…"
