Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 96: Leaky Night Guest Comes

Since that night, the palace has fallen into a state of tranquility, which is somewhat abnormal. However, Yun Chang didn't bother to care about it, and lay on the soft couch all day long, idly not wanting to move.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve, which is a big day once a year. To be precise, people in the palace have to start around the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month and work until the end of the year. After the Lantern Festival is over. It's just that Yunshang is just a princess, and she doesn't have to do everything herself, but she can be at ease, but on New Year's Eve tomorrow, no matter what, she has to show her face at the palace banquet.

I just don't know, is Hua Jing coming back? Yun Shang slightly hooked the corners of her lips. Since Hua Jing returned to the imperial city, she had never appeared in the palace, declaring to the outside world that she was overly sad and sick. Yun Shang knew it, but now she was probably afraid that if she came out, she would be found pregnant, and she was afraid that she would become pregnant with her reputation for being affectionate and righteous.

"Princess..." Qianyin opened the curtain and walked in, her face was flushed with cold, "Princess, it's snowing outside again, and this servant ordered someone to cook a pot of soup for the princess to warm her body. Come and taste it, princess." taste."

Yun Chang put down the book in his hand and said, "Well, good." Then he stood up, put on his shoes, walked to the table and sat down.

"It's getting colder and colder today. Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve. There must be more things to do. You will pass on the order later, and you will be left tonight, and everyone else will rest." Yun Chang said softly. road.

Qian Yin heard the words and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I will tell everyone later, and everyone will definitely say that the princess has a kind heart, hehe..." There were already guards in the palace, plus his own martial arts Being under the master's hands is not a low level. If you go to the night by yourself, the master will definitely have nothing to do. Besides, these days the uterus is busy with the New Year, and the palaces and halls are almost crazy busy. Everyone should have a good rest rest.

Yun Chang drank two bowls of soup, and asked Qian Yin to leave. It was cold, and the hundred days became shorter and shorter, but at the time of You, the sky darkened. After eating dinner, Yunshang took a rest early, and did not celebrate New Year's Eve in the palace for many years, but she barely had some memories of her previous life, and the complicated etiquette was indeed a bit boring.

Because of Yun Shang's special grace, the Hall of Qingxin gradually became quiet.

Yun Chang slept in a daze, but always felt that someone was watching her in the dark, so she woke up suddenly, but found that it was not her own illusion, there was indeed someone standing in front of the bed.

Yun Chang was taken aback for a moment, quietly grasped the dagger under the pillow with his hand, and when he saw the right opportunity, he stabbed at the person in front of the bed quickly and mercilessly.

The person in front of the bed seemed to be startled, and when he reacted and dodged to the side, the dagger had cut his arm, "It's me."

Yun Chang was taken aback, this voice...

"Uncle?"

The person in front of the bed seemed to sigh slightly, "It seems that this king has been worrying for so long in vain, but he never thought that you have such skills."

Yun Shang quickly stood up, went to the table and lit the glazed lamp, turned around and saw Prince Jing, dressed in black, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at herself quietly.

Yun Chang was stunned, and looked at him for a while, but saw that he still seemed to be a little dusty, and blood seemed to be dripping from his arms, which should be his masterpiece just now.

"Are you hurt?" Yunshang walked to King Jing, lifted the clothes that had been torn by him, and took a closer look. He knew his own skills. Besides, he was not on guard just now. It was very sharp, the wound was neat, and there was only a small hole, but Yun Chang knew that it must be not shallow.

Yun Chang walked to the side and took out a small white jade bottle, "Uncle Huang just returned to the imperial city? Why did he come to Chang'er's bedroom? Fortunately, Uncle Huang made a sound in time, but he still hurt Uncle Huang."

Prince Jing looked down at Yunshang who was helping him to deal with the wound, with a tenderness in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed, "Are you still talking about me? It's fine if you leave without saying goodbye. When you arrive in the imperial city, you don't know how to repair the book to report your safety. How can I rest assured that there is no news when I go there?"

"Huh?" Yun Shang raised her head in surprise, she never thought of reporting to Prince Jing that she was safe after returning to the palace, but she didn't think her relationship with Prince Jing was that good.

Prince Jing knew what she was thinking from her reaction, a little annoyance suddenly arose in his heart, and he said with a cold smile, "I thought I was different in your heart, but I didn't expect that, After all, you think highly of yourself."

Yun Chang smiled awkwardly, lowered her head, feeling a little flustered for no reason.

Prince Jing also found that he seemed to have lost his composure, and gradually regretted it. Where did his more than twenty years of calm and self-restraint go? Why did the woman in front of him provoke his emotions so easily? This is not good.

Thinking about it, Prince Jing stood up and jumped out without saying anything more to Yun Chang.

Yun Chang's eyes darkened, she stared at the window for a while, and then hurried to the compartment at the door, "Qianyin..."

Seeing that Qianyin was deeply asleep, and such a loud noise failed to attract her attention, Yunshang hurriedly lowered her head to check, and was relieved. Fortunately, it was just a general drug. It's just that her Qingxin Palace seems to be too lax, letting people come and go as they want... Today is Prince Jing, if she is her opponent, then she is in danger.

After thinking about it like this, Yun Shang returned to the bed.

After King Jing came out of Qingxin Hall, he didn't leave the palace immediately, but went to Qinzheng Hall.

The Qinzheng Hall was still brightly lit, and Eunuch Zheng stood guard outside the door, shrugging his feet and rubbing his hands non-stop. Prince Jing paused, and walked forward. Eunuch Zheng hurriedly greeted him, "My lord? Shouldn't your lord be at the border? Why did you suddenly return to the imperial city?" Before entering the palace at night, a strange look flashed in Zheng Eunuch's eyes. Ye, at this time, the gate of the palace might have been closed long ago, but Prince Jing appeared here?

Prince Jing nodded, "I have urgent matters to ask Brother Huang."

Eunuch Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, wait for a while, and the servant will report to you right away. After speaking, he hurried into the Hall of Qinzheng."

King Jing was standing under the eaves of the palace, when it snowed suddenly in the quiet night just now, Prince Jing sighed quietly, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There was a "squeak" sound behind him, King Jing turned his head, and saw Eunuch Zheng walking out, "Your Highness, Your Majesty's invitation."

King Jing nodded slightly, and walked into the Qinzheng Hall, which was very warm. Behind the innermost desk, Emperor Ning had already raised his head, looking at the man who was walking towards him step by step.

King Jing stopped five steps away from Emperor Ning, and knelt down, "My brother was not summoned into the palace, so I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Emperor Ning sized up the man kneeling on the ground, his eyes paused on his arm, was he injured?

"Pingshen, what's the matter? You were injured? Did you meet an assassin?" Emperor Ning stood up and walked to Prince Jing's side, his eyes fell on the wound on his arm, which should have been injured by a sharp weapon, but it seemed that he had been injured. medicine? Moreover, this medicine... Emperor Ning vaguely asked about a scent of medicine, seems to be the condensed fragrance in the palace? This medicine is a special medicine in the imperial hospital, and it has always been only supplied to the palaces and halls.

King Jing saw that Emperor Ning had been staring at the wound on his arm with a different expression. After thinking carefully for a moment, he quickly knelt down again, "Yes, it's just that my brother's injury was not caused by an assassin, it was Princess Yunshang's injury. Yes, I just went to Qingxin Palace, and Princess Yunshang thought I was an assassin...so..."

Changer? Emperor Ning frowned slightly, "Bastard! Chang'er is Princess Ning, and she is not yet married. Although you are her uncle, you just broke into her bedroom in the middle of the night to destroy her innocence. ?”

Prince Jing straightened his body, lowered his head and said, "My brother came here today for the matter of Princess Yunshang. I heard that brother Huang received a letter from Cangjue Qingsu requesting marriage?"

Emperor Ning was taken aback again, not many people knew about it, but he mentioned it a little at the palace banquet that day, but Prince Jing knew about it? Could it be that Shang'er and Prince Jing really...

Prince Jing lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, so he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to the Emperor today. On the battlefield, I saw that Princess Huajing seemed to be in the same room as Yelang. The third Huangzi of the Yelang Kingdom... is very close..."

Emperor Ning knew about this from Cang Jue Qingsu's letter before, but even though he was very angry in his heart, Hua Jing was his daughter after all, and it was impossible for him to disclose such things in half. What Su said was still somewhat skeptical, but now that King Jing said it, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing.

Emperor Ning was furious, "That wicked person did such a shameless thing! Even if the son-in-law is dead, she can't do this!"

"The son-in-law has been rescued by his younger brother, and he is fine now. The son-in-law and Mrs. Zhao also know about this matter. Mrs. Zhao only said, I beg the emperor to let their mother and son guard the border, and they don't want to go back to the imperial city... ..." Prince Jing lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

When Emperor Ning heard this, he became even more furious, "Hua Jing is really outrageous!" But he paused for a while, and did not speak for a long while. King Jing knelt silently, and after a long time, he sighed faintly, "That's all, yes I am sorry for Zhao's mother and son, since this is the case, I have granted her request, and will issue an order tomorrow to let Hua Jing and Zhao Yingjie make peace."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and looked at Prince Jing again, "Prince Jing broke into the palace so late today, and came to me after going to Qingxin Palace, just to tell me about this matter?"

King Jing raised his head, looked at Emperor Ning, and said loudly, "Brother, Cangjue Qingsu doesn't seem to know that Princess Huajing is married, so he wrote a letter asking for a marriage. The younger brother is afraid, if Cangjue Qingsu finds out about this , will definitely ask the emperor to marry Yunshang to the Yelang Kingdom. To tell the truth, the emperor and Princess Yunshang have long been in love, so I missed the night and entered the palace. I just wanted to ask the emperor to marry Princess Yunshang to Brother..."

Emperor Ning was shocked again when he heard the words, although he had already guessed in his heart, he was still very surprised when he heard what Prince Jing said, but he himself knew this righteous brother, he had never been ambitious, It's just that he is also unfeeling. I have never heard that he is interested in the affair between men and women. It is precisely because of this that I can't grasp his weakness, so I have never dared to put him in the imperial city. Not all of them were handed over to him.

But today, he ran back from the border in a hurry, and broke into the palace in the middle of the night, just to ask Yunshang to marry him?

"Prince Jing, did you forget, Chang'er, she is your niece, so I have to call you Uncle Emperor..." Emperor Ning kept staring at Prince Jing, his eyes hard to distinguish between joy and anger.

The corner of Prince Jing's mouth showed a bit of a smile, but with a bit of bitterness, "Your brother, why don't you know, but, in this life, there will always be some things that go beyond your expectations. Besides, you know it, brother, my lord." There is no blood relationship between my brother and Chang'er. I remember that the emperor once promised me that if I have a favorite woman, the emperor will definitely give me a marriage for my brother. Chang'er is the daughter of the concubine Jin. Royal brother, you and the concubine Jin have always been in love, so you will definitely not watch Shang'er marry Yelang country far away. If Princess Huajing and her son-in-law reconcile by then, Princess Yunshang and her younger brother are already engaged, and Cangjue Qingsu Originally I was interested in Princess Huajing, isn't everyone happy this time?"

Emperor Ning walked back and forth in the hall, and after a long while, he said, "But Yun Shang said, Master Wuna ordered that Chang'er cannot marry before the age of eighteen."

Prince Jing smiled slightly, as if it was inevitable, "My brother is willing to wait, the emperor only needs to order a marriage, and my brother and Chang'er will get married in three years."

"It depends on Chang'er's intentions..." Emperor Ning still hesitated, wondering why Prince Jing was so anxious.

Prince Jing quickly smiled and said, "Brother Huang, Chang'er is a woman, so her skin is already a bit thinner, but I remember that before I went to the border last time, at a palace banquet, I once played a song " "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", at that time, my younger brother had already said that this song was due to her, and she never argued against it, but instead played it together with my younger brother, is it still not clear what she wants?"

Seeing that Emperor Ning was silent, King Jing kowtowed and said, "Brother Huang, I have only realized something interesting since I met Shang'er in the past 20 years. Brother Huang has always been afraid of the military power in the hands of my younger brother. , I have always known that my brother, my brother has never wanted to fight with my brother, if my brother agrees to marry Chang'er to my brother, I am willing to return the half of the soldier talisman to my brother..."

Half a soldier talisman... Emperor Ning's eyes suddenly became dark. When he ascended the throne, his father divided the soldier talisman into two, and gave half to Prince Jing and the other half to himself. Prince Jing lost his temper. He was just a adopted son, so what qualifications did he have to take the half of the military talisman? Therefore, even though he had a good relationship with King Jing before, he still felt uncomfortable, but now, he said that he was willing to give up the half of the soldier talisman. Return half of the soldiers? In that case, wouldn't Prince Jing have no threat at all...

Various thoughts flashed through Emperor Ning's mind, and he said after a long time, "Since Father Emperor has given you the military talisman, you can take it, but if you are sincerely in love with Yunshang, I promise you... ..."

A flash of joy flashed in Prince Jing's eyes, he concealed the original deepness, and said hastily, "Thank you, brother, for your fulfillment, I will definitely sit down to what you say, and the day when I and Shang'er get married, I will definitely be happy." Serve the soldier talisman with my own hands..." After a pause, he continued, "Brother Huang, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, can you please announce this at the palace banquet, I am afraid, and there are many dreams in the night..."

Emperor Ning was startled when he heard the words, and then burst out laughing, "It's been a long time since I've seen Prince Jing so nervous. I usually look at you with a cold look, and thought you'd lost all emotions. But I don't know, Zhen's Chang'er is so capable! Haha!"

A blush flashed across Prince Jing's face, but he said calmly, "Princess Yunshang and Jiji, I don't know how many people in this imperial city are after her, so I naturally have to act first..."

"I don't know, when did you and Chang'er get so close? Why don't you come and listen to me..." Although Emperor Ning complied with King Jing's words, his heart was still full of doubts.

Prince Jing smiled and said, "I remember the last time when I returned to the palace, the emperor held a reception banquet for my younger brother. My younger brother was overwhelmed with alcohol, so I went out to sober up, but I happened to meet Princess Yunshang..."

Prince Jing already had a plan in mind, and when he made up the story, his expression remained the same, and it sounded like it had no loopholes. It was already midnight, Emperor Ning left Prince Jing in the palace, and asked Eunuch Zheng to warm some wine, and the two brothers chatted all night.

When Yunshang got together in the morning, she felt a little uneasy. Qinyi had already walked in with a water basin, but she saw that Yunshang had got up, but she didn't see Qianyin waiting on her side. She was a little strange, so she asked, "Princess Wake up, where did Qianyin go?"

Only then did Yunshang suddenly remember what happened yesterday, and hurried to the cubicle, only to find that Qianyin was still sleeping, so she called out twice, "Qianyin, Qianyin..."

Qianyin opened her eyes in a little confusion, seeing Yunshang in front of her, her mind skipped a beat, could it be that she fell asleep? But he also faintly felt that something was wrong, so he sat up abruptly, "Princess, what happened? The servant seems to have not even noticed when the princess got up..."

Qin Yi also seemed to sense something was wrong, but suddenly saw that there seemed to be a piece of blood-stained cloth on Yunshang's pillow, and she screamed, "Blood... princess..."

Qianyin's face turned pale immediately, "Princess, you were injured? Could it be that someone drugged the servant?"

Yun Shang nodded, "You are drugged. Prince Jing came here in the middle of the night yesterday..."

"Prince Jing?!" The two girls were startled, and hurried to Yun Chang, "Isn't King Jing at the border? Why did he suddenly break into the princess' bedroom in the middle of the night? This blood...could it be Jing?" The king hurt the princess?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "No, it's not my blood, it's Prince Jing's. I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and realized that there was someone beside the bed, so I picked up the dagger and stabbed it, hurting Prince Jing."

Qianyin quickly knelt down on the ground, "Your servant is guilty, it's because of my negligence, please master to punish me."

Yun Shang sighed, "I was negligent, I thought that you would be fine if you were around, but I never thought that the current manpower of the Qingxin Palace can only guard against the weak concubines in the harem, But they can't guard against a master like Prince Jing."

Qianyin lowered her head and said nothing, Yunshang said softly, "You can make arrangements and send a few people to secretly protect the safety of Qingxin Palace."

Qian Yin nodded, and Yun Chang was about to speak, when she heard Qin Yi's voice saying, "Princess, let's change clothes first, there is no time, you have to go to Changchun Palace to pay your respects to the concubine later."

Yun Chang nodded, turned around and went to get dressed, but her heart was always a little uneasy, "Why do I always feel that something is going to happen today..."\u003c
