Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 651

The seventh Prince didn't seem to have the slightest idea to continue to pretend in front of Yun Shang. He sneered, "I admit that I was not as good as Luo Qingyan when we were in the State of Ning, or even worse than you. But It was just because you have been in the State of Ning for many years with a deep foundation and have some advantages. You should have come to the State of Xia and competed with me. That thing should belong to me. How could I let you take it away so easily?

Yun Shang burst into laughter as if she had just heard a big joke. It was only after a while that she opened her mouth and said, "Really? Belong to you? Your highness is always a good actor, but your acting is so good that the emperors and courtiers thought you were really in poor health. Don't you know that a country can accept an ordinary emperor, but not an emperor who is extremely weak and could die at any time, even if he is talented and bold?"

The seventh prince shivered and stared at Yun Shang.

"Because the former makes people disappointed, and the latter could make people in despair at any time." Yun Shang turned to the seventh prince and smiled faintly, "Your Highness, you may also feel that you are popular, but I want to tell you a truth. That is, the commoners don't have so much spare time to care about who the emperor is, and they are more interested in whether they are safe and comfortable, and what kind of life they live."

The seventh prince frowned and his hand trembled. Yun Shang pulled her cloak tighter, and touched the white fox fur on it with a smile. Her smile became gentler. "Besides, I don't think Prince Rui is inferior to your highness. As for the support of the officials..."

Seeing a maid walking towards them slowly, Yun Shang turned around and said quickly, "Most officials of the court support the one favored by the emperor."

Then she went to Lady Hua Guo's yard without looking back.

Lady Guo and Hua Yutong were no longer in the yard. The maid said that Lady Hua Guo felt cold in the yard, so they went back to the room. When Yun Shang entered the room, she saw Lady Hua Guo sitting on a rosewood chair, and Hua Yutong squatted in front of her, pointing at the piece of embroidery cloth on her knees.

Yun Shang deliberately made some noise from the jade pendant pressing on the hemline of her dress. Both of them looked up. When Lady Hua Guo saw Yun Shang, she smiled and said, "Shang'er, come here. Do you like the fabric?"

Yun Shang smiled and walked quickly towards it. It was a piece of material embroidered with peony, which was lifelike and beautiful. The color added a sense of solemnity to it.

"I don't know much about embroidery. It's difficult for me to judge whether it's good or not, but as an outsider, I think the peony is very beautiful and the cloth makes it look even more dignified." Yun Shang smiled softly.

"You are not good at needlework, but quite good at comments. You have said all the good words. I don't know from whom you are so sweet talking." Lady Hua Guo laughed out loud as she spoke. She put the embroidery cloth aside, and asked a maid to bring Yun Shang and Hua Yutong two chairs. Then she held Yun Shang's hand and asked, "How could your grandfather be willing to let you go?"

Yun Shang smiled, "Maybe he thinks I'm not good at chess.

"That's how he is. He always likes to be arrogant with his sharp tongues and has always felt that no one's chess skills are better than his. But I know, if he really had thought you are bad at it, he couldn't have played chess with you." Said Lady Hua Guo with a smile.

Hua Yutong nodded her head and smiled, "Yes. The other day when I just came back, his lordship let me play chess with him. After that, he never played with me again."

Yun Shang chuckled, "I've never seen Yutong belittle herself like this."

Lady Hua Guo looked at them, smiled, and thought for a moment before she whispered, "You two are about the same age, and now you have become sisters. Just have more contact and help each other when needed. It's not easy to be in royal family. It's also good to have a friend who can take care of you."

Yun Shang raised her head and looked at Hua Yutong. She thought that since Lady Hua Guo said so, it must mean that Hua Yutong was trustworthy. After a short consideration, she nodded and said, "Of course."

Lady Hua Guo nodded with a smile. Then she seemed to have recalled something, and asked Yun Shang, "By the way, didn't the seventh prince go with you to the study? Why didn't he come back?"

"Eh?" Yun Shang raised her head and looked around. Then she said with doubt, "The seventh prince came back with me just now. I felt it was too cold outside, so I walked a little faster. But he should have arrived."

Hearing this, Hua Yutong stood up and said, "Let me have a look."
