An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1336 You'd Better Marry Him

Biting her lips, Ling Lanyu didn't say anything.

Lady Ming said in a hurry, "I think it's a good thing."

"Good thing?" Yun Shang glanced at Gong Sijia with a faint smile, "How could it be a good thing?"

Gong Sijia replied calmly. "Our emperor sent us here to establish friendship with the state of Xia."

"It's just that verbal promises are not binding on state to state friendship. If they could build friendship

by a marriage alliance, it would naturally be the best"

Then she couldn't help but look at Yun Shang.

Now, she had exposed her true colors.

Yun Shang smiled casually, as if she was not angry at all.

"A marriage alliance? That's a good idea. " Yun Shang lifted her eyelids and asked, "Your Highness,

how to make a marriage alliance? Do you mean to marry the princess to the state of Xia? Then which

one do you think is the best for the princess? "

Somehow, when Yun Shang asked this question, Gong Sijia felt a little embarrassed and said, "Since

ancient times, the marriage alliances have always been made between the princesses and the

emperors."

"Oh..." Yun Shang replied, "So the State of Youyue wants to marry the eighth princess into the imperial

household of the state of Xia."

Gong Sijia nodded. "This is the best way now. It could both stop the rumor and strengthen the

friendship between our two countries. What do you think, your majesty? "

"Me?" Yun Shang smiled, "Of course I think it's a bad idea."

With her eyes wide open, Gong Sijia asked in disbelief, "Your majesty think it's a bad idea? Why? Does

your majesty have a better solution? "

Without waiting for Yun Shang's answer, Gong Sijia continued, "Since the rumors have been spread,

the reputation of the emperor will be affected. Even if his majesty and your majesty want to clarify, I'm

afraid you can't. Why don't you just admit it and take Ling Lanyu to the palace? At that time, the people

may praise his majesty and say that he was a responsible person. "

Yun Shang smiled, "Your highness asked me why I thought it was a bad idea just now. I can answer

your question..."

"There are three reasons. First, I think you must have heard a lot of rumors about his majesty and me

on your way to Jin City, right? I am a jealous woman who doesn't allow his majesty to marry a

concubine. "

Suddenly, Gong Sijia raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief. She had never seen a woman who

always talked about her jealousy.

She talked as if jealousy was not a weakness, but a merit.

"Second, the eighth princess just said that it was a guard who accompanied her to the lantern show

last night."

"I have sent someone to ask. The stall owner said that the princess and that man were hand in hand,

and that man was assassinated when he bought the lantern for her."

"They went to the lantern show hand in hand, and the man bought a lantern for the princess? This is

not what a guard should do. "

"I think the princess and that man are more like a couple. Since the princess has feelings for that

guard, how could I and his majesty separate such a pair of lovers?"

After saying that, Yun Shang didn't look at those people's complicated faces. She just picked up the

teacup, took a sip and put it down slowly.

However, Gong Sijia couldn't wait any longer and asked, "What is the third reason?"

She had to listen to all the three reasons of Yun Shang before she could refute.

Besides, if Yun Shang said a few more words, she would have more time to organize her words.

Yun Shang didn't know what was on her mind, but she didn't keep her in suspense. She just smiled and

said, "As for the third reason, I told you I didn't believe that the person with the princess was his

majesty because he was with me at that time."

"Although you didn't ask me where I and his majesty were and what we were doing at that time, I can

tell you directly."

"At that time, his majesty and I were by the lake. I'm afraid that we were less than one hundred meters NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

away from the eighth princess and the guard who looked like his majesty. At that time, his majesty was

guessing riddles in order to win a river lantern for me. "

Hearing Yun Shang's words, the faces of the four people kneeling in the hall suddenly changed.

They had thought of countless possibilities, but none of them had thought of this.

Biting her lips, Ling Lanyu muttered, "it's impossible..."

The smile on Yun Shang's face deepened. "I and his majesty witnessed what happened at that time. It

was very wonderful."

The four people kneeling in the hall were dumbfounded. They didn't say anything for a long time, as if

they were shocked by Yun Shang's words.

Yun Shang said with a smile, "You and the guard must have left soon after confirming that the rumors

have been spread because you were afraid that it would arouse suspicion if you disappear for long,

right?"

"You left too early. So you didn't know that after we heard those rumors, his majesty and I sent

someone back to the palace, ordering honor guards to pick us up outside. Many people in the Jin city

had seen me and his majesty getting on the imperial palanquin and heading back to the palace with the

guards leading the way. They also got to know that his majesty was not assassinated and that he went

to guess the riddles in person to win me a lamp. "

Yun Shang pointed at the river lamp on the table and said, "Look, that's the river lamp his majesty won

for me last night. Is it beautiful?"

"There were rumors about the emperor and the princess, but today there are very few. Instead, there is

a rumor that his majesty and I love each other deeply. In addition, there is another rumor... "

Yun Shang glanced at the pale faces and said casually, "but this one might not make you happy."

They just knelt down and didn't respond to Yun Shang's words.

Yun Shang sighed, "The rumor is also about the princess. It was about what happened last night."

"Rumor has it that the princess came to the Jin city and fell in love with a commoner of the state of Xia.

The commoner looked a little like his majesty, so he was mistaken."

"And the princess and the young man loved each other and wanted to be together for the rest of their

lives, so they went to the lantern show together last night."

Yun Shang smiled, "The rumor has spread all over the city today. As your highness said, it's impossible

to clarify it."

"For the sake of your reputation, I think... You'd better just marry him? "
