Chapter 349 The Royal Banquet (Part Two)
Yun Shang helped emperor Ning to his seat, and smiled, "you must be very busy today, father? How
Emperor Ning nced at Lady Jin, who, as always, was calmly asked the maids to serve the meal, and
ignored what they were talking about. Disappointment shed in emperor Ning''s eyes. He said softly,
"everyone has to be prepared. It''s a rare day off today, but I''m used to getting up early. So Ie to
the Jinxiu pce to have a look because I have nothing else to do."
Yun Shang''s smile faded. The emperor felt guilty becausedy Jin was stilldy Jin even Jing Wenxi
failed as the empress. he was afraid thatdy Jin might get angry, so he came to see her.
Yun Shang felt like she was choked on a fishbone. She picked up the bowl and ate some porridge
without saying anything else.
A voice came from outside, "Prince Jing."
Yun Shang looked up and saw Prince Jinging in from the door. Prince Jing greeted emperor Ning
and Lady Jin with a smile and then walked to Yun Shang and sat down by her side.
Lady Jin asked the servants to fill the table with another set of bowls and chopsticks. Then Yun Shang
turned to Prince Jing and asked with concern, "Why are you here?"
Prince Jing looked at Yun Shang with a smile and said in a soft voice, "I didn''t see you in the morning
when I woke up. I heard from the Butler that you were in the pce, so I came to see you. Is there
anything I can help?" Yun Shang knew that Jing Wenxi''s n would fail when she saw the expression
on Prince Jing''s face.
Emperor Ningughed at his words. "This is the ce where she has been domineering for so many
years, so she is familiar with this ce. There is no need for us to help. After eating, youe with me
to the front hall and entertain the foreign envoys. They are not familiar with the state of Ning. You have
to let them have fun."
"Yes, your majesty." Prince Jing smiled and answered softly.
The smile on Yun Shang''s face faded as she heard the news. Emperor Ning and Xia Huanyu must

have made an agreement a long time ago. When Emperor Ning asked Xia Huanyu to take the portrait
out at the banquet, Yun Shang had felt quite strange. It was not until the day when they allied with each
other and reported the result to the emperor yesterday that Yun Shang realized what had really
happened. The emperor Ning had probably nned the whole thing in advance. His n of sending
Prince Jing to receive foreign ambassadors was probably to make Prince Jing get along well with Xia
Huanyu.
After the breakfast, Emperor Ning left with Prince Jing.
Lady Jin smiled at Yun Shang and joked, "it seems that Prince Jing cares about you very much. It''s all
right. As long as he cares more about you, you will understand."
Yun Shang kept her head down and did not respond. Then Lady Jin whispered again, "I just hope that
this attention willst for a very long time, and most of all, I hope it canst forever."
"Mother." Holdingdy Jin''s hand, Yun Shang looked at her, "mother, I hope you can be happy too..."
She paused and lowered her voice, "I always thought that you and father grew up together and
mother''s happiness should be tied to father. But now, I don''t know if I''m wrong or not. But mother, if you
still feel that you can''t find any happiness in the pce, please tell me. I will take you out of the pce
even if you do not dare to do that and even if I will be punished. "
Lady Jin''s eyes were filled with tears. She nodded her head, "yes, I will remember your words."
After a short while, a servant came to report that some of thedies were already in the pce and
rested in the imperial garden. Lady Jin said yes and was about to take Yun Shang to the imperial
garden. Yun Shang suddenly thought of something and helddy Jin''s hand, "mother, take Chenxi with
you. It''s very crowded in the pce today. I''m worried about his safety. It''s good for him to stay with
you."
Lady Jin couldn''t help but frowned. "But I''m afraid I''ll be very busy today." After a pause, she added,
"but it''s okay. Madam Zheng will be by my side and help me." Then she asked the madam to hold
Chenxi and they walked to the imperial garden.
Yun Shang looked around and found that Hua Jing hadn''te into the pce yet, but Wang Jinyan
had arrived and was chatting with Lady Wang right now. Both of them wore a smile on their faces.
"Good day,dy Jin." Thedies bowed tody Jin when they saw her here.
After straightening up, Wang Jinyan rushed over excitedly and went to Yun Shang. She looked at
Chenxi with interested eyes. "Is this the little prince? He looks so cute. "
Yun Shang heard her and made fun of her when she saw Lady Wanging their way, "it seems that
Lady Wang should have picked a husband for Yan''er as soon as possible..."
Lady Wang didn''t expect Yun Shang to say so. She paused and then said, "if you have a suitable
husband candidate for her, you can introduce one to her. I''ve found her many young masters from
respectable ns. She scared them all away."
A man came to Yun Shang''s mind as she heard the woman''s words. There was indeed a man that she
could introduce to Wang Jinyan. She nced at Wang Jinyan with a trace of slyness on her face. Wang
Jinyan could not help but repeatedly beg, "please, please don''t, don''t really believe my mother''s
words."
While they wereughing, someone said, "Wow, isn''t that Jing Wenxi? Didn''t they say that she was a
evildoer? Why is she here? "
