An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1198 Die With You

It snowed several times and the New Year's Eve finally arrived.

It didn't snow on New Year's Eve. The banquet was held at noon as scheduled.

As usual, all the courtiers above the fifth grade and their families with honorary titles were allowed to

attend the banquet.

The hall was bustling with music and dances. Yun Shang sat beside Luo Qingyan, dressed in bright Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

court clothes and with a faint smile on her face.

"Mother, I want to eat candied haw berries." Chengye looked up at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang lowered her head and smiled at Chengye, "There is no candied haw berries, but there is

hawthorn cake, which is also sour and sweet. It's very delicious. Do you want to have a taste?"

Chengye blinked and said, "Well, since mom said it was delicious, it must be."

Yun Shang smiled and looked up at Pei Lan. Pei Lan quickly took out a plate of hawthorn cakes from

the food box in her hand and put it in front of Chengye.

Chengye took a piece and put it into his mouth. He frowned, but soon calmed down. There was a hint

of surprise on his eyes. "It's really delicious."

The smile in Yun Shang's eyes widened. She reached out to touch his head, and then watched the

performance in the hall.

"Mother..."

After a while, Chengye spoke again.

"Hm? What's wrong? " Yun Shang asked hurriedly.

Chengye waved at Yun Shang, indicating her to get closer.

Looking at his mysterious appearance, Yun Shang was curious and got closer to him.

"Mother, I saw someone in the hall looking at you all the time."

"What?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Who?"

"He is sitting next to a pillar behind father..."

Chengye didn't know how to explain it clearly.

Yun Shang sat up straight and glanced at the courtiers who were sitting against the pillar behind Luo

Qingyan.

Yun Shang's eyes fell on the man beside the third pillar and squinted. It was Cao Han.

The performance was going on in the hall, but when Yun Shang looked at Cao Han], she saw him turn

his eyes away in a hurry.

"He doesn't look at mom anymore." Chengye's eyes lit up.

Yun Shang withdrew her gaze, tapped the armrest of the chair with her fingers, and then turned to tell

Qian Zhuo something in a low voice.

Qian Zhuo replied and left.

In the middle of the banquet, Luo Qingyan asked Yun Shang to leave, leaving the courtiers to enjoy

themselves.

When Yun Shang returned to the back hall, she made a detour from the back hall to the side hall

beside the Meeting Hall.

After a while, Qian Zhuo took Cao Han there.

"Greetings, your majesty..."

"Get up." Yun Shang fumbled for the pattern on the embroidered handkerchief and asked, "You have

been looking at me in the hall just now. Is there anything important?"

Hearing this, Cao Han knelt down again. "I didn't mean to offend your majesty, but I do have something

to report."

"Oh?" Yun Shang smiled, "Tell me, what makes you so absent-minded? Aren't you afraid that your

mother might find something wrong? "

Cao Han gritted his teeth and said, "It was my mother who asked someone to set the fire on the day of

the enthronement ceremony, and those rumors were spread by her."

"I have guessed it." Yun Shang said casually, "I don't have any evidence, so I can't really punish her. Is

there anything else?"

"When I met you last time, I told you that my mother took a fancy to the seventh young master of the

Hua Clan and wanted to marry my niece to him..."

"Yes. What's wrong? Is there any change? "

"No. There is some progress." Cao Han said in a low voice, "A few days ago, my mother secretly sent

someone to inquire about the seventh young master of the Hua family and found that he would hunt in

the forest outside the city with his friends, so she asked my niece to dress up, go to the forest and

pretended that her carriage was broken. In this way, she could encounter with the seventh master.

"Oh?" Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and smiled playfully. "Your mother is interesting. She knew it

would be a little abrupt if she rashly came to ask for a marriage, so she came up with this idea. If the

two of them fell in love with each other, then this matter would make sense. Although the Cao clan is

not as powerful as the Hua clan, it is still considered a first-class clan in the Jin city. The two clans are

well matched in terms of family background. If the Hua clan don't know the truth, they will most likely

agree. "

"That's it." Cao Han nodded and said, "I don't know what the seventh master of the Hua Clan think, but

according to what my niece said to my mother later, he also had a good impression of my niece. My

mother said that since this matter had a good beginning, the rest would be much easier. She planned

to create more chances for the seventh master to believe that it's his fate to be with my niece. "

"Fate?" Yun Shang lowered her eyes and smiled, "It's true. The fate she tried her best to get."

Cao Han reported what had happened and stood aside without saying anything.

Yun Shang looked up at Cao Han and said, "Well, I know. Do you have anything else to report?"

Cao Han shook his head with hesitation and didn't retreat.

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and said, "If you have anything, just say it. I don't like you to be so

indirect."

Cao Han stood still for a long time before he finally opened his mouth. "This year's performance

assessment is about to begin. My mother asked my second uncle to bribe someone for my brother, so

that he can be promoted... If my brother is promoted again, he will be at the third grade. In that case,

the position of the clan master... "

With a faint smile on her face, Yun Shang looked at Cao Han and said, "It seems you are really

determined to be the clan master. You have been keeping an eye on it all the time."

Cao Han smiled with embarrassment.

"Don't worry. I have told you that you will be the clan master, so you will definitely be."

Cao Han's face lit up with joy. He hurriedly bowed to Yun Shang and said, "Thank you, your majesty. If I

can take over the position of the clan master, I will be loyal to your majesty and his majesty. I promise

that the Cao Clan will never do anything harmful to your majesty and his majesty's interests in the

future and will never betray you."

Yun Shang squinted at Cao Han and said, "I'll keep these words in mind. I like people who are loyal

and devoted. What I hate most is betrayal. If you betray me, I will make the whole Cao clan die with

you! "
