Chapter 460 Imperial Household''s Strife (Part Two)
The woman was stunned by Princess Qian Ling''s words. She lowered her head and said nothing,
considering Princess Qian Ling''s status.
Yun Shang took a look at Princess Qian Ling and said with a smile, "it''s my fault. Today is
grandmother''s birthday. I''m the half host of the banquet. I should entertain everydy politely." Yun
Shang smiled and looked at Lady Hua Guo, who was talking to someone else. "It''s just that I just
arrived at the state of Xia, so I''m not familiar with all thedies. I feel a little uneasy, so I''m only talking
to Qian Ling."
Thatdy heard Yun Shang''s words and replied: "that''s right. We also want to get to know Lady Rui.
Lady Rui has such a beautiful face and smooth skin, which makes us very envious. We wonder where
you bought your makeup."
Yun Shang was a little surprised at her words. Thinking of Lady Hua Guo''s words just now, she smiled
more brightly. Those youngdies were really interested in these things as Lady Hua Guo said.
"It''s a coincidence. When I was in the state of Ning, I liked to buy makeup and hairpin from a shop
called Qianshui Pavilion. The blushes and powders are exquisite there, so I didn''t feel that my skin is
getting worse and worse as they are used. The essories on the hairpins were always in the most
fashionable style and of good design. And they are of good quality as well. I thought I would lose it as
soon as I arrived in the state of Xia, and I bought more before I came. But when I passed by the Zhu
Que Street the other day, I saw a shop named Qianshui Pavilion too. It''s on the same level with the
shop in the State of Ning. " Yun Shang smiled and said, "they have prepared the make-up and sent to
my mansion now."
Someone said immediately after Yun Shang, "I know the shop your Highness has mentioned. It has
just been opened for half a year, but it''s very popr. I have been using things from other shops, so I
haven''t seen it. Hearing your words, I think it''s a good idea for me to try theirs."
Yun Shang nodded her head with a smile. She felt someone was watching her, so she turned her head
and looked at the woman. She was a beautiful woman, dressed in a light green early summer dress
and tied with a thin waist. It was now very difficult to hold her whole waist with two hands.
When their eyes met, the woman smiled and bowed her head.
Thosedies started to chat again after that. Yun Shang asked her maid to serve a cup of tea and sat
next to them, smiling. Thedies were either talking about a husband who got into trouble or a very

young and beautiful woman who married a man in his eighties.
When they were talking, a very beautiful woman was brought here by a maid and sat down beside
them.
Yun Shang found that thedies had kept their voice low and had been casting a nce at her since
she sat down.
The woman seemed to find that Yun Shang was looking at her. She stood up and sat down in front of
Yun Shang and said. "Nice to meet you, Lady Rui. I am Lady Lin of the Gu n."
The woman seemed to recognize Yun Shang as soon as she saw her. Yun Shang helped her up with a
smile, and said, "don''t be so formal. Today is not my banquet, and I am just a guest as well."
Then an ironic voice said as soon as Yun Shang finished her words, "why did your highness say that to
her? She is just a seductress. Gu Zhaoge was just a poor man, and he had a wife and two kids. In
order to let him attend the exam, they used up all the money they could borrow. But he didn''t give up
and he got the third ce in the exam. His majesty thought highly of him and allowed him to go to high
position in the imperial family. His wife should have enjoyed a happy life with him. However, right at a
celebration party, the seductress took a fancy to the young and handsome man. She got drunk and
came to bed with him. "
Yun Shang looked at the woman in front of her. The woman''s lips were pale, but she just stood quietly
without saying anything.
"Then she mored to let the Gu Zhaoge take responsibility of her. He picked her up as a concubine.
The wife of the man from the hometown epted her silently. But she didn''t expect that the seductress
was unsatisfied. She killed Mrs. Gu and her children respectively, dreaming of being the new wife of Mr.
Gu. Of course Gu Zhaoge wouldn''t do that. This is known to all. We don''t know why she still has the
nerve to show up. "
Yun Shang looked at the woman who was speaking, and then at the woman who was called a
seductress. The woman turned to look at her, and sneered in a cold way, "do you have any evidence to
prove it''s me who killed thedy and the two kids?"
"Evidence? Do I have to show you evidence?" Those women all sneered coldly and turned their heads
away.
Yun Shang thought to herself that most wives in the imperial household would hate the concubines who
wanted to rece them by all means. Yun Shang smiled and helped the woman stand straight. "You
will be put in prison if you use others of murder without any evidence."
Those women had to give in reluctantly after Yun Shang''s words.
After a while, the guests took their seats. Lady Hua Guo led them to the yard, and sat down. As soon
as they took their seats, a sharp voice sounded, "where''s my jade pendant? Where is my jade
pendant? " Yun Shang looked up and saw thedy in rouge who spoke to her first a moment ago was
looking for her jade pendant.
