An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 1336

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?"

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? "
