Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 190

Marry Prince Jing.

For the rest of the day, Yun Shang felt upset whenever she thought of the suggestion.

Marrying somebody was the last thing Yun Shang had designed for her new life. After being reborn, she wished to enact her revenge and revive the connection between her and her parents. She had even wished to make new acquaintances with real friends who shared common goals with her.

Her marriage with Mo Jingran in her last life was so heart-breaking that she was scared of thinking about marriage. She didn't have the courage to marry somebody. She was afraid of falling in love. She was even fearful that she would be hurt and despised again by her husband whom she would love with her heart and soul.

However, Prince Jing had agreed to hand over his half of the Hufu to the Emperor on their wedding day. In that case, she could not turn down the marriage. At least, with the whole Hufu in hand, the Emperor would feel more secure.

Yun Shang was aware that the Emperor could not afford to annoy Prince Jing. His Majesty was the only one who was fully aware of the extent of Prince Jing's influence. If His Majesty hastily took any action to suppress Prince Jing's forces in court, both sides would probably suffer tremendous losses, even though the Prince was not powerful enough to defeat the Emperor. Yun Shang was unwilling to see the two men at war, no matter what the consequence. "Your Highness, you are back! Did you get any information about Prince Jing?" Yun Shang stepped into the room in low spirits. The Princess's countenance startled Qin Yi. So, she inquired as soon as she saw Yun Shang.

Yun Shang stared blankly at Qin Yi for a moment. As Prince Jing was already under the Emperor's control, there was no need for the Emperor to kill him. With this in mind, Yun Shang nodded at Qin Yi, "Yes. Prince Jing is safe for now."

She spoke while walking toward the inner Hall. Then Yun Shang sat on her bench. She seemed lost in her thoughts. As Yun Shang sat there, she happened to see a teacup on the table. A plum flower in full blossom had been painted on the teacup.

Qin Yi watched Yun Shang as the Princess walked into the inner Hall. She could not help but feel surprised at the Princess's melancholy. As Prince Jing was safe now, why did the Princess still look so worried?

However, Yun Shang didn't pay attention to Qin Yi's curiosity. She just sat on her bench and stared at the teacup. It wasn't until some time later that Yun Shang lifted her eyes to look at Qin Yi, "Go and ask the cooks to prepare an elaborate meal. Prince Jing will be dinning with us tonight."

Qin Yi nodded. Before withdrawing, she cast another look at Yun Shang. She could not help but feel concerned. Qin Yi felt protective of the Princess and was driven to inquire about her worries. But she finally subdued the impulse to ask.

Yun Shang lay on the bench, and then, somehow, she fell asleep.
