Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 63

"Suppressed by someone who is superior to him?" An idea struck Lady Zhao. She looked at Hua Jing. Then she pointed at her with her trembling hand and said, "It's you. It must be you."

Hua Jing was puzzled by her words. She frowned and said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'it's me'?"

Lady Zhao calmed down and said with determination, "Who else but you is superior to Yingjie in this Palace? He was asked to move to the Princess Palace and has been suppressed by you since he married you. So it must be you."

Hua Jing understood what Lady Zhao was implying and sneered, "I called you mother for so long, but you always criticize me and put on airs. Now, you fasten blame on me indiscriminately, and for what? The words of a strange monk? Your son is safe and sound. Why do you believe the nonsense of this monk who is cursing your son?"

Yun Shang spoke up hurriedly, "Lady Zhao, my senior only divined according to the character. Moreover, the Emperor's Son-in-law is in the battlefield on a distant frontier. How is it possible that he is trapped by sister? How about we send some people to the frontier to inquire about the situation of the Emperor's Son-in-law and then we discuss the divination?"

Lady Zhao snorted and went off in a huff after looking sharply at Hua Jing.

"Sister, Lady Zhao is just worried about her son. Don't take her accusation personally." I will see off senior Wu Di first. I don't know how to get news from the battlefield. How about you ask mother to send some people to ask about the Emperor's Son-in-law so that Lady Zhao can be relieved?" Yun Shang even went as far as to hold Hua Jing's clothes to comfort her.

Hua Jing snorted. "Naturally I will send someone to find out about Zhao Yingjie. Then the Old Lady will see who is right and who is wrong." Then she left the dinning hall as well.

Yun Shang looked at Hua Jing as she walked out of the dinning room. There was a tender smile on her face. Once Hua Jing disappeared completely, she turned and spoke to Wu Di, "I apologize for her behavior, senior Wu Di."

Wu Di folded his hands and said, "Amitabha! Don't mind her."

Yun Shang smiled. "Let me walk you out."

She accompanied Wu Di out of the Princess Palace. At the gate, she bid him farewell. Then she turned to look at the Palace. It shone magnificently in the sun. The plaque above the gate said, Xiping Princess Palace. Qin Yi and Qian Yin also looked at the plaque. Qian Yin blinked and smiled, "Your Highness, your Princess Palace will be called Jinling Princess Palace since Princess Palaces are usually named after the fief. Princess Hua Jing was bent out of shape when she saw this plaque. Haha."

"Naughty girl." Yun Shang looked at Qian Yin and smiled. "We finally get to step out today. Let's go and walk around. I haven't wandered in the Imperial City since my return from the Temple."

Qin Yi nodded. "I had a glimpse of the Imperial City in the carriage on our way here. I think it is much more prosperous than before. I want to walk around and explore as well. I will tell the housekeeper right away." Yun Shang nodded. "Go ahead. Qian Yin and I will wait for you here."

After Qin Yi informed the housekeeper, the three women went out on the street together. Since neither were familiar with the Imperial City, they wandered about with no destination in mind. They stopped often to buy little things. Unknowingly, half a day passed.
