Chapter 323 Meeting The Emperor Of The State Of Xia For The First Time
Yun Shang frowned. She saw the manager of Yuman tower quickly following them. Then he bowed to
them and said, "I''m sorry. It''s my fault. I''ll handle it right away."
"Quickly. Don''t disturb me and my wife having a meal." Prince Jing didn''t even raise his head. He
frowned and tapped the table with his fingers.
Yun Shang fell her eyes on Prince Jing''s hand. She was a little surprised. Prince Jing had a simr
habit with her. When she was thinking about things and feeling annoyed, she would unconsciously tap
on the table too.
Liu Yinfeng looked embarrassed when Yun Shang didn''t even look at him at all. When he saw Yun
Shang''s obviousdy''s hairstyle, he was even more angry. He raised his head and said to Prince Jing,
"how can you be a husband? How dare you let your wife go to the battlefield to gather herbs for her
mother and got caught by the enemy... "
While he were talking, Prince Jing raised his head suddenly to look at him. Although Liu Yinfeng had
always been a conceited man, he could remain calm in the face of thousands of troops. However, he
did not expect that a nce from the man in front of him made him chill all over and felt like falling into
an ice cer, and for a moment he had forgotten what to say.
"Sir, please get this man out." Yun Shang said in a cold tone. Hearing this, Liu Yinfeng could not help
but turn his head. After a long time of silence, he slowly turned around and walked out of the room.
"How did he recognize me?" Yun Shang frowned.
Prince Jing looked at Yun Shang and sighed. He thought, ''I''m afraiddy Jing doesn''t know that
although she dresses like a boy as much as possible, one''s habit can''t be changed by just one piece of
clothes. Besides, not many people are good-looking, let alone they look exactly the same.''
Yun Shang was not in the mood to eat anything because of Liu Yinfeng''s interruption. They had
something to eat and went back to Prince Jing''s mansion.
Since the crown prince of the state of Yng had arrived, Ning Hua Jing and Liu Yinfeng had also
arrived, the imperial city would be more lively. Some officials from the court also came to the
prince''s mansion. Yun Shang thought about it for a while. Although Prince Jing''s identity had not been
made public, her father had always been paying attention to the prince''s mansion. If her father invited
those officials into the prince''s mansion, no one knew what would happen. In consideration of such a
disaster, Yun Shang set the gate of Prince Jing''s mansion closed tightly and didn''t want to see anyone
for the sake of Prince Jing''s badly injury.
However, she had to attend the banquet, because the grand preceptor was close, and the emperor of
the state of Xia had already arrived at the imperial city. Emperor Ning set up a banquet, saying it was a
treat.
It was already three days since the emperor of the state of Xia arrived at the imperial city. Yun Shang
had been informed of his arrival. In the past three days, the emperor stayed at the post and rarely
came out, which surprised Yun Shang. She thought the emperor of the state of Xia would rush to
Prince Jing''s mansion to verify whether Prince Jing was his son. But now he seemed to have good
patience.
The banquet was set at Jinluan hall, and it was still early when Yun Shang and Prince Jing arrived at
the pce. They went to visitdy Jin and the little prince Chenxi, but did not expect that Qin Meng was
also there. When she saw Yun Shang and Prince Jinging in together, serving tea and pouring
water, she acted like a servant in Jinxiu pce.
Yun Shang thought it was funny that the culprit shoulde to Jinxiu pce to fawn on her. Yun
Shang thought for a while and turned to Madam Zheng, "madam, isn''t the maids in Jinxiu pce
enough to serve you? I will talk to my father and ask him to send more people here. Lady Meng is his
Majesty''s concubine anyway. Don''t bother her with such a rough job. It won''t be good if others see her,
and they may think that mother sends other concubines as her will. "
Qin Meng''s face turned pale immediately. She hurriedly exined, "it''s all my fault. It has nothing to do
with Lady jin."
However, Yun Shang acted as if she hadn''t heard her words at all. She said to Madam Zheng with a
gentle smile, "there are a lot of maids and eunuchs in the pce who like to gossip. It won''t be good if
it''s known to father."
Madam Zheng didn''t answer.dy Jin, who carried Chenxi in her arms, said softly. "Your Highness is
right. But there''s no shortage of servants in my pce now. From now on, don''t let Meng Jieyu do
anything again."
Qin Meng restlessly sat on the chair at thest, looking up at the people in the room, and then lowered
her head, without saying anything more.
Yun Shang sneered to herself. Why was Qin Meng so anxious to please her and her mother?
She looked at the bead on Qin Meng''s head and paused. Last time Qian Yin said the bead on her head
was something outside the pce. Yun Shang didn''t pay much attention to it, but...
Yun Shang looked at the crystal bead on Qin Meng''s hairpin. It was clearly from a store outside the
pce. She had seen it in the shop a few days ago. Qian Shui said she would give it to her, but she
didn''t likeplicated jewelry, so she rejected it. She didn''t expect to see it at Qin Meng''s head.
Yun Shang looked away slowly and smiled. A few days ago, the secret guards were looking for Qin
Meng secretly, but found nothing wrong. It seemed that the secret guards had failed again.
It was almost the time for the banquet, but Qin Meng was not qualified to attend it. She quickly got up
and said goodbye. After she left,dy Jin and Yun Shang went to Jinluan hall in a carriage.
The formal banquet wasn''t supposed to be held even Yun Shang. But a few days ago, Yun Shang had
defeated the army of Xia in Jingyang City, and Emperor Ning wanted to dete the prestige of the state
of Xia, so he let Yun Shang join. However, it seemed too intentional for only one woman. After thinking

for a while, Emperor Ning directly issued a decree that only a normal banquet, and women with an rank
higher than an honorary title could participate. The Imperial Pce also alloweddy Jin and soon to
participate inApanying the empress.
The main officers of the state of Ning was seated. Lord Zheng came in with all the guests and took their
seats. After everyone had seated, Emperor Ning came in while the eunuch was singing. Everyone got
up and bowed.
After a while, the sounds of friction between the clothes and the ground were heard. Then emperor
Ning''s majestic voice was heard, "rise."
Three sses of wine were prepared for the banquet. Emperor Ning weed all the honorable
guests from various countries. After three sses of wine, everyone took their seat. Yun Shang sat
behind Prince Jing and ate carelessly.
Feeling someone was looking at her, Yun Shang raised her head slowly. It was Liu Yinfeng. Liu Yinfeng
had sent many people to inquire about her identity these days, but as he was in the imperial city of the
state of Ning, Yun Shang knew immediately so that Liu Yinfeng was not making any progress.
He didn''t expect to see Yun Shang here. Yun Shang was dressed in an official uniform with an official
title, a red and ck color. Otherdies wore dull clothes, but she looked gorgeous. Liu Yinfeng wasn''t
a citizen of the state of Ning, so he didn''t know much about the officers'' uniform of the state of Ning.
Therefore, he had no idea who Yun Shang was, but he guessed that she must be very famous as she
appeared here today.
Just now, he didn''t notice her but saw the man sitting in front of him. He was stunned and looked
subconsciously behind the man, he saw her.
Emperor Ning and the emperor of the state of Xia were chatting, and Yun Shang was amused by their
ttery. They had just been at odds with each other, and now they were chatting happily at the banquet.
However, when Emperor Ning mentioned her, he said in a helpless tone, "a few days ago, my naughty
little girl ran up to the battlefield and made trouble. I didn''t discipline her well. Please forgive me."
Yun Shang looked up, and saw the emperor of the state of Xia. She was shocked not because he was
good-looking, but because he had a hideous face. The scar which was like that of centipede ran across
his face, and almost disappeared from his jaw. Fortunately, his eyes were not affected, and he looked
like Prince Jing.
The emperor of the state of Xia seemed to be shocked. Then he smiled and said, "well, well. Eagles do
not breed doves. Her highness is really something. I''m impressed."
Emperor Ningughed. Yun Shang was absorbed in her own thoughts, not knowing whether it was
sincere or not. Emperor Ning said, "shang''er, make an apology to the emperor of the state of Xia."
