Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 158

Yun Shang turned and took the offerings from Qin Yi's hand. Madam Yu hurriedly took it, and handed the syrup to Lady Ming.

Lady Ming glanced at the bowl, and waved it away. Yun Shang smiled. She turned to Lady Fu, "I didn't think I would meet you in Changchun Palace, Lady Fu. Are you transcribing Buddhist texts?"

Lady Fu flashed a smile. She put the brush aside and turned to Yun Shang, "Yes, I am. I have very little interest in boisterous circumstances. Fortunately, Her Flighness pities me, and shelters me in her palace."

Hearing these words, Yun Shang returned the smile. She wanted to ask about the Empress's physical conditions, but before she could say anything, Lady Ming cut in, "It's been said that you stayed overnight in Prince Jing's mansion during his birthday party."

Yun Shang was a little surprised. She nodded to Lady Ming.

"Indeed, you're engaged to the Prince now, but you're still unmarried. You should pay attention to your reputation. I wish you would meet Prince Jing less in the future." Said Lady Ming primly, almost like a strict elder.

Yun Shang hurriedly curtsied to her, "I will, Your Highness."

"What has brought you here? Just bringing the plum syrup to me?" Lady Ming shot a cold and piercing gaze at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang thought for a while before she answered, "I have something to report, Your Highness. It's a small matter, and I'm not sure whether I should bother you with it. But Your Highness is in charge of the Palace, and should be informed of everything that happens here. When I went back to my palace yesterday, I was informed that two madams were missing. I sent people to search everywhere in the Palace, but failed to find them. I then asked the Imperial Household Department, and learned that they both worked for Lady Geng a long time ago. She seemed to be the late Emperor's Lady. But all my servants are young girls, and none of them know anything about Lady Geng. Not knowing what to do, I decided to take advice from you, Your Highness."

Hearing that, Lady Ming clenched the armrest of her chair tightly. Yun Shang noticed that and sneered to herself.
