An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 63 The Girl Named Qian Shui

"Suppressed by someone who is superior to him?" An idea struck Lady Zhao. She looked at Hua Jing.

Then she pointed at her with her trembling hand and said, "It's you. It must be you."

Hua Jing was puzzled by her words. She frowned and said, "What are you talking about? What do you

mean by 'it's me'?"

Lady Zhao calmed down and said with determination, "Who else but you is superior to Yingjie in this

Palace? He was asked to move to the Princess Palace and has been suppressed by you since he

married you. So it must be you."

Hua Jing understood what Lady Zhao was implying and sneered, "I called you mother for so long, but

you always criticize me and put on airs. Now, you fasten blame on me indiscriminately. and for what?

The words of a strange monk? Your son is safe and sound. Why do you believe the nonsense of this

monk who is cursing your son?"

Yun Shang spoke up hurriedly, "Lady Zhao, my senior only divined according to the character.

Moreover, the Emperor's Son-in-law is in the battlefield on a distant frontier. How is it possible that he is

trapped by sister? How about we send some people to the frontier to inquire about the situation of the

Emperor's Son-in-law and then we discuss the divination?"

Lady Zhao snorted and went off in a huff after looking sharply at Hua Jing.

"Sister, Lady Zhao is just worried about her son. Don't take her accusation personally." I will see off

senior Wu Di first. I don't know how to get news from the battlefield. How about you ask mother to send

some people to ask about the Emperor's Son-in-law so that Lady Zhao can be relieved?" Yun Shang

even went as far as to hold Hua Jing's clothes to comfort her.

Hua Jing snorted. "Naturally I will send someone to find out about Zhao Yingjie. Then the Old Lady will

see who is right and who is wrong." Then she left the dinning hall as well.

Yun Shang looked at Hua Jing as she walked out of the dinning room. There was a tender smile on her

face. Once Hua Jing disappeared completely, she turned and spoke to Wu Di, "I apologize for her

behavior, senior Wu Di."

Wu Di folded his hands and said, "Amitabha! Don't mind her."

Yun Shang smiled. "Let me walk you out."

She accompanied Wu Di out of the Princess Palace. At the gate, she bid him farewell. Then she turned

to look at the Palace. It shone magnificently in the sun. The plaque above the gate said, Xiping

Princess Palace. Qin Yi and Qian Yin also looked at the plaque. Qian Yin blinked and smiled, "Your

Highness, your Princess Palace will be called Jinling Princess Palace since Princess Palaces are

usually named after the fief. Princess Hua Jing was bent out of shape when she saw this plaque.

Haha."

"Naughty girl." Yun Shang looked at Qian Yin and smiled. "We finally get to step out today. Let's go and

walk around. I haven't wandered in the Imperial City since my return from the Temple."

Qin Yi nodded. "I had a glimpse of the Imperial City in the carriage on our way here. I think it is much

more prosperous than before. I want to walk around and explore as well. I will tell the housekeeper

right away."

Yun Shang nodded. "Go ahead. Qian Yin and I will wait for you here."

After Qin Yi informed the housekeeper, the three women went out on the street together. Since neither

were familiar with the Imperial City, they wandered about with no destination in mind. They stopped

often to buy little things. Unknowingly, half a day passed.

While walking, Qian Yin suddenly proposed, "Your Highness, you didn't bring many clothes this time,

and it's getting colder and colder. There is a clothing shop over there. Why not go to take a look?

Perhaps you can get some new clothes?"

Yun Shang turned to look at the shop at which Qian Yin was pointing. "The girl named Qian Shui?" Yun

Shang murmured before smiling. "That may not be a bad idea. My sister will hold a small feast in a few

days, and I cannot embarrass her. Therefore, I'd better make some new clothes. She has been working

hard on the feast. I will feel guilty if I ruin her plans over such a trifle. Let's go."

Yun Shang walked into the clothing shop with Qin Yi and Qian Yin. The waiter came to them promptly.

"What kind of clothes do you like? We have some new styles today."

Qian Yin looked around, took out a small ingot of silver from her sleeve, and handed it to the waiter.

She said, "Our master wants the best cloth, and her clothes need to be customized. I don't see any

new styles here. Ask your shopkeeper to come out and we will tell her personally what we want."

The waiter put the silver in his sleeve and said with a smile, "Wait a little bit. I will tell the shopkeeper

right away." Then he opened the curtains beside him and went inside. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

After the water left, the three women took a close look at the dresses on display. Then they heard a

charming female voice, "What kind of style would you like? Can you describe it to me?"

Yun Shang turned around and saw a female dressed as a married woman in an aqua blue dress. She

stood at the door. The woman had a pleasant smile. Yun Shang returned the smile. "Don't bother. I

think the style of dress one looks good but the embroidery on it is too complicated. I want it to be

simpler. Please give me that piece of clothing to try on first. If it fits, I will take it."

The woman took down the piece of clothing instantly and walked over, "Please follow me. You can try it

on inside."

Yun Shang nodded, "Okay. Wait for me outside. I will be back soon."

Qin Yi and Qian Yin replied simultaneously, "Yes." Yun Shang followed the woman to the inner room.

Upon entering, the woman knelt down and said, "Greetings, your Highness."

Yun Shang smiled and helped her up. "Good work, Qian Shui. You have hidden yourselves well in the

Imperial City. If Qian Yin hadn't reminded me, I am afraid that I would not have recognized your shop.

Did Ning Qian give you any instructions in the past few days?"

Qian Shui replied, "She told us to go to the border. I have sent my people there on the pretext of

purchase."

Yun Shang nodded. "Ning Qian should have received the mission. It's not very convenient for me to

meet her right now. I am followed by people. Even now they follow me. Send a message for me to Ning

Qian. Tell her that she needs to save the person I told her to watch at the critical moment and bring him

to the Imperial City alive. I will keep him for later."

Qian Shui nodded. "I understand. Do you want me to deal with the stalkers?"

Yun Shang shook her head. "No need, lest you expose yourself. I am fine. Come and help me get

changed. The stalkers will probably get suspicious if I take too long."
