An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 246 The Banquet (Part One)

Qi Lang was confused. After a moment's silence, he said: "According to the law of the State of Ning, I

will punish him fifty rods and give the injured man a certain amount of money."

A faint smile appeared on Yun Shang's face when she heard his words and looked at Qi Yuzhi. She

turned to look at the trembling butler before she lowered her head and asked, "Oh? According to my

secret guard, Mister Qi hurt Mister Li in the west of the city at noon. What should we do with him,

General Qi?"

Upon hearing that, Qi Lang trembled with his hands clenched into fists. A touch of cruelty painted

across his face. However, Yun Shang didn't seem to see it. She kept smiling and turned to the fish in

the pond. "It's a tradition. Prince Jing and I also will be punished if we do something wrong. Prince Jing

often mentioned about you, General. He said the General has a good reputation here. The reward and

punishment are distinct. As we entered the KY City today, I saw people admire you. I guess you won't

let us down, will you? "

No one answered for a long time, but Yun Shang didn't hurry and sat still.

"Of course. Whether the law is disciplined or not, and whether the people are decent or not, I will follow

the law." Qi Lang said in forbearance.

As soon as the words were spoken, Yun Shang heard Qi Yuzhi call out to his father from his gritted

teeth, "father."

Qi Lang glared fiercely at Qi Yuzhi and knelt down respectfully with a pale face.

Yun Shang turned around and glanced at the veins on his forehead. She wanted to laugh, but she

managed to force a smile. "General Qi, just as his highness said, there is a clear distinction between

rewards and punishments. In that case, I won't delay General Qi's work. It seems that the Li family are

waiting for General Qi in the front hall. " As she spoke, Yun Shang glanced at the butler. He was

obviously shocked. Then Yun Shang stood up and went back to the Chrysanthemum Yard with Qian

Yin's support.

"Your highness, why did you demand General Qi to hit his son so hard? Will General Qi betray you

because of this? Now we still live in General Qi's Mansion, what if we provoke the people of the Qi

family and they take action against us? As the saying goes, a strong dragon is difficult to deal with a

local villain." Qian Yin couldn't help but worry when she recalled the looks of General Qi and Mister Qi.

Yun Shang looked calm and she shook her head with a slight smile. "Since I have asked for an imperial

edict and come to the KY City, I can't pretend to be weak and harmless. The gentler I am, the less

respect I get from him. I'm afraid that he won't take me seriously when the army of the State of Xia

come."

She heaved a sigh and said, "I did this to let Qi Lang know that I'm not as weak as the rumor said.

Even if I was under his eyes, I still have my way to monitor everything in this city. In this way, he will

definitely be somewhat afraid of me. With my identity, he may not care that I am a princess, but that I

have Prince Jing behind me. In this case, even if he wants to play a show, he has to try his best to

make it real. He doesn't want me to find his fault, and at that time, he will definitely let me do the duty of

inspector. He will just try to make things difficult for me. All I need to do is to avoid the trap he set, and I

will really reach the battlefield... "

Looking at the lines on the table, Yun Shang was in a trance. Who said the rough men who only knew

about war didn't know how to detox? They were as scheming as those shrewish women in the Imperial

City who fell into their schemes.

Yun Shang was a little tired after all the mess. Qi Lang was a typical killer. He was surrounded by an

intense murderous will, and it was a tough fight for her.

Yun Shang lay on the bed, and intended to have a rest. But to her surprise, when she woke up again, it

was already the next morning. Yun Shang felt a headache when she woke up. She might have caught

a cold. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

She frowned. Since she started to learn martial arts, her bones had become much better, and she

seldom got sick. However, once she got ill, she felt very uncomfortable.

She asked Qian Yin to come in and look after her. Qian Yin sensed that something was wrong with Yun

Shang's voice, so she sent her hidden guard to bring in a physician. Yun Shang indeed caught a cold.

The physician prescribed a prescription, and Yun Shang told the servants to bring the medicine. Yun

Shang checked the medicine, and then asked Qian Yin to cook it herself.

She felt better after taking the medicine, but she still felt a little weak, so she lay on the couch and read

a book.

"Your Highness, I heard General Qi really had someone beat him fifty times last night. When you were

asleep, I paid a special visit. Heehee hee, the whole General Qi's Mansion could hear his scream."

Qian Yin grinned gloatingly for a while before she continued, "I heard that the fifth lady summoned all

the doctors of the city to this mansion yesterday and cried a lot. But it seemed that she was later

scolded by General Qi."

Yun Shang smiled. Qi Yuzhi's mother was the fifth lady of the Qi family. It was said that she had been

the daughter of the richest man in the KY City. His mother had been favored in the mansion. Perhaps it

was because she had the richest man of the KY City behind her, she had been so arrogant and

domineering.

"I'm not afraid of Qi Lang and Qi Yuzhi, but for this fifith lady, you have to have someone keep an eye

on her. She is by no means simple." Yun Shang rubbed her temples. She said in a hoarse voice. She

knew very well that women in the mansion were very good at doing secret things, so she didn't

underestimate them.

Qian Yin answered with a smile, "Your Highness, yesterday someone called me. It was not until then

that I got to know the boss of the imperial household has opened a shop in this remote city. He is really

something. By the way, your highness, the boss has a letter for you. He asked me to give it to you. "

Then Qian Yin took out a piece of parchment from her inner packet and handed it to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang took it over and looked at it carefully. Then she smiled happily. "You are right. Ning Qian is

really something. She stayed in the Imperial City of the State of Xia no more than six or seven days,

but the princess had already had an eye on her and brought her to the Princess Palace."

Qian Yin was surprised, "Your Highness? When did the boss become a bisexual? Does the Princess

like women? Or does she want to choose a concubine for Emperor's Son-in-law?"

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She tapped Qian Yin on the head with the parchment, "what are you

thinking about? The princess was the sister of the Emperor of the State of Xia. She wanted to present a

beauty to the Emperor. Ning Qian was a lady of outstanding appearance and intelligence, so the

princess chose her. Maybe Ning Qian will become one of the ladies of the State of Xia in a few

days."
