Chapter 1335 What Should We Do
Chapter 1335 What Should We Do
The second day, as soon as Yun Shang had breakfast, Qian Zhuo came in from the outside. "It doesn't
look like a sunny day today. I hope it won't rain."
Yun Shang smiled, "Whether it rains or not can't be decided by us. Today's banquet will be held in the
golden palace, so it doesn't matter even if it rains. But... "
The beautiful view that Yun Shang had seen last night flashed through her mind. "If it rains, the lanterns
in the city will probably be ruined. The Ministry of Rites has been preparing for such a long time. If it
rains, it will really be destroyed. "
"Yes." Qian Zhuo sighed, and then remembered something important. "Someone came to report that
the princess of the State of Youyue said she was not feeling well and went back to her room early to
have a rest when the others in the posthouse asked her out for the lantern show last night."
"These days, the envoys and the ladies are indeed not in good health, so our spies in the post house
didn't take it seriously. The secret guards also left with the other envoys, and they did not notice when
the princess of the State of Youyue left the posthouse."
Yun Shang nodded.
"The envoys and the ladies returned to the posthouse at about 11:45 in the evening. When they
returned, they also brought a lantern to the princess of the State of Youyue. When Princess Ming Yue
sent the lantern to her room, the princess was there."
"11:45?" Yun Shang calculated the time carefully. They should have returned to the post house not
long after they spread out the rumors.
If there was no accident, they should not know what happened later.
Then Qian Zhuo continued, "The secret guards had been staring at the posthouse last night and there
was nothing unusual. This morning, as soon as the gate of the palace was opened, I sent someone out
to call those ladies into the palace. They should be arriving soon. "
Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "They probably haven't known how wonderful the rumors will be today."
"Yes." Qian Zhuo stuck out her tongue, with a touch of banter in her eyes. "I've been looking forward to
this since I heard what your majesty said yesterday. They haven't known that your majesty and his
majesty happened to be outside the palace last night and that the rumors in the city today are not going
in the direction they wanted, but in the opposite direction. The show will be wonderful when they come
later. "
Yun Shang smiled, "Yes, it will be wonderful then."
After a while, a servant came and reported, "Your majesty, the ladies from the State of Youyue and the
State of Yihai are here to see you."
Yun Shang nodded and asked the servants to bring them in.
As soon as they entered the palace, they bowed to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang glanced at them, but didn't ask them to stand up. She said casually, "There was a lantern
show in the city last night. Did you all go to watch it?"
The four ladies moved slightly, and the one who replied was still Princess Ming Yue. "Your majesty, we
have all gone to watch it. From the lantern show, we could see that the State of Xia is rich and
powerful, and the people live and work peacefully under the emperor's rule, which is very enviable."
"Really?" Yun Shang chuckled, "so you all like the State of Xia very much?"
"Of course we like it." Princess Ming Yue said in a gentle voice with a smile, "The the State of Xia is an
excellent place with beautiful scenery, gentle people and rich resources."
"Oh?" Yun Shang smiled, "Do you really think so highly of the State of Xia? No wonder you tried every
means to put your princess in his majesty's harem. "
Princess Ming Yue frowned and guessed that what happened last night was exposed.
Princess Ming Yue was thinking quickly. 'Now that the Empress of the state of Xia has known about it,
the rumor must have spread widely.
It seems that his highness's plan is half successful.'
Although she thought so, she pretended to be calm and looked up blankly. "What do you mean, your
majesty? I can't understand."
Looking at her complacent eyes, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "You can't understand? Then I'll tell
you what I'm talking about. "
"I heard that last night, the princess of the State of Youyue went to the lantern show in the city. The
person who accompanied her was the emperor of the state of Xia."
"I've heard that the emperor was assassinated while accompanying the princess to enjoy the lanterns,
causing chaos. Later, the emperor and the princess were recognized. "
"Soon after the incident, rumors spread all over the city. It's said that his majesty accompanied the
princess to enjoy the lantern show instead of accompanying me in the palace and that his majesty
wanted to marry the princess as his concubine."
Princess Ming Yue was surprised. "Is that true?"
Yun Shang smiled, "Yes. Is that true? I'm also confused. Last night when the lantern show was held,
his majesty was with me. How could it be possible for him to appear at the lantern show with the
princess of the State of Youyue? "
"Therefore, I am very curious about how the rumors spread, so I specially call you into the palace to
ask about it."
Yun Shang glanced at the other three people and asked, "Where is the princess of the State of
Youyue?"
A woman beside Princess Ming Yue raised her head in a hurry and said in a panic, "I I'm here. "
Yun Shang looked at her and knocked on the armrest with her fingers. To be honest, this princess of
the State of Youyue was indeed the most outstanding among them. No wonder they chose her as the
first one.
Perhaps they thought that as soon as such rumors spread, the emperor would at least see her.
Perhaps he would be attracted by the princess's appearance.
Thinking of this, Yun Shang became angrier. "Last night, you went to the lantern show with the emperor All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
of the state of Xia?"
"No No. " Ling Lanyu shook her head and said, "I went to the lantern show with a guard. Maybe my
guard looked like the emperor of the state of Xia, so he was mistaken. I didn't know it would cause
such rumors. I... I didn't mean it... "
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and asked, "You have a guard who looks like our emperor?"
Without waiting for Ling Lanyu's answer, Yun Shang continued, "Although you said he was not the
emperor, the rumor has already spread out and everyone in the city knows it. What should we do about
it?"
