Chapter 61 Hua Jing's Request

Prince Jing never liked to participate in these banquets. Besides, Hua Jing did not know Prince Jing very well. Why did she think of sending Prince Jing an invite?

Yun Shang froze for a minute before quickly answering, "I haven't been in the Imperial City for so many years. I haven't had the chance to meet anyone. Now, I can use the opportunity to meet the noble masters and ladies people. They say the ladies of the Imperial City are all as talented as they are beautiful. I feel excited just thinking about meeting them."

After Qing'er took Yun Shang back to the yard, she bowed with respect before leaving. Qian Yin searched the yard before she came back, "I've checked. While there are no guards inside the yard, there are seven guards just outside. I guess they are afraid that the Princess might shun them."

Yun Shang nodded without saying anything. Qin Yi, however, continued speaking, "The Princess Palace is full of Princess Hua Jing's informers. We must be extra careful, in case we fall for Princess Hua Jing's tricks. Today, if it were not for our Princess' precaution of sending people to Yuman Tower in advance, we would have been in grave danger."

Yun Shang chuckled, "Qin Yi, you're not as smart as my mother. You see, even though my mother is pregnant, she intentionally moved in to Qiwu Palace. Do you know why? Because Qiwu Palace is the Empress' turf. If something happened to mother at Qiwu Palace, no matter what the truth, the Empress would be caught up in it. I'm living in Hua Jing's Princess Palace. So if something were to happen to me, then the unfortunate person to blame would be..."

"Princess Hua Jing." Qian Yin grinned, "Your Highness is so smart."

Yun Shang looked at Qian Yin with a smile. She sighed helplessly and said, "That's why I should be safe for the time being. But Hua Jing did all she could to move me to the Princess Palace. She definitely didn't do this for my leisure or for me to learn how to throw banquets. Right now I don't know her intentions, but I do have a few ideas about how to deal with her."

Upon hearing this, Qian Yin swiftly approached Yun Shang. "Your Highness is finally going to make a move on that woman?"

Yun Shang

Sister, you just said that someone concerned you. I don't know who that could be. Why don't you tell me about it and see if I can help."

Hua Jing nodded, heaved a deep sigh, and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Do you remember Mo Jingran?"

Mo Jingran? At the familiar name, Yun Shang's mind filled with memories of shame and betrayal. She sneered secretly, Mo Jingran, how can she possibly forget about him? But she pretended to be confused, "Mo Jingran?

The name sounds familiar, but I have no impression of such a person. Who is this?"

"How can you not remember..." Hua Jing smiled and continued, "Do you remember that I said I would introduce you to a talented young man? Do you remember the man who played you a song at your Coming-of-age Ceremony? He sang about 'beautiful young ladies.' His song even made me blush!"

A smirk passed over Yun Shang's face, but she pretended to have just realized something, "Oh it was him. But isn't he..."

A look of frustration appeared on Hua Jing's face, "On the day of your Coming-of-age Ceremony, I had no idea why my sachet was in his possession. But our father misunderstood me and I couldn't argue with His Majesty. Do you believe me?"

Upon hearing Hua Jing's question, Yun Shang nodded immediately, "Of course I believe you."

Hua Jing smiled with satisfaction, "What concerns me now is this Mo Jingran... Shang'er, you can really help me with this? Are you willing to do me a favor?"
