An Eight-year-old Princess

The next day when Yun Shang went to see the Empress to pay her respects, she saw Princess Hua Jing. Hua Jing had changed a lot. Perhaps the scandal was quite a shock to her. She had lost weight and seemed to be more pitiable. She stood beside the Empress and looked scared. Hua Jing also spoke in a lower voice as though she would cry at any time. She even greeted Yun Shang politely and called her sister.

Yun Shang saw this and raised her eyebrows. She stepped forward, grabbed Hua Jing's hands and sighed before saying to her, "You have lost some weight due to your illness. You've suffered so much. Did your servants at the Princess Palace fail at taking good care of you? I feel sorry for you. Can you move in the Imperial Palace so as to recuperate? The Empress has been missing you. She also looks a bit emaciated. After you move in, you can accompany the Empress and talk to her."

Hearing those words, the Empress nodded and said, "Shang'er is right. I will plead with the Emperor and ask him to allow Hua Jing to stay at the Palace for a couple of days."

At that moment, the voice of Emperor Ning was heard. "I have heard your request. Such being the case, Hua Jing can live at the Palace. The Flower Show Banquet is nearing. Hua Jing hasn't attended such a party in a long time. However, she must be taught the proper rules and etiquette."

All people hurried to greet the Emperor as per formal etiquette.

Hua Jing heard the Emperor's words and hatred flashed in her eyes. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and curtsied to her father, "Thank you, father. I will not disobey you and make mistakes again. I will study hard."
