Princess and the General

too exaggerated for effect.”

“If she isn’t a princess from Western Kun, why does Gu HuaiJiang dote on her so much? Also, why does Kun WuShang do so much to protect her? She is so young, so how else could she have become so skilled at the zither? Thinking then to her actions during the imperial banquet, she appeared magnanimous and dignified.
She was unlike a normal young miss from a noble household.”

All signs pointed to her being a princess from Western Kun.

Yin Shuo pursed his lips then took another look at the family relations of Western Kun’s imperial family to try and find where Yu Fu might fit in.

Western Kun had over twenty princesses, but there was never any indication of one being sent to Immortals Valley, nor were there any signs of one missing from the imperial palace.

She was twelve years old this year.
Of course, it was also possible that she was eleven or thirteen.

One who was previously eleven to thirteen, which one of Emperor Kun’s concubines could have given birth to her? Or perhaps, which palace maid or something…

“Shuo’er, send all of the people that were dispatched to Immortals Valley to Western Kun.
As long as we can confirm that Yu Fu is a princess from Western Kun, Gu HuaiJiang will be completely unable to provide an explanation.”

Emperor Ning was already uncomfortable with Kun WuShang simply going to visit Marquis Gu’s Manor.
What more could happen if he found out that he had taken in and adopted a princess from Western Kun?

Yin Yan was in a great mood and patted him on the shoulder, “You keep investigating here.
In the future, you can enter the study freely.
There’s no need to ask father anymore.
Remember, you must quickly find out Yu Fu’s identity.”

After saying this, he stopped paying attention to Yin Shuo’s expression and directly exited the study.

Yin Shuo respectfully bowed in a salute and only stood up straight when he could no longer hear Yin Yan’s footsteps.

“Kun WuShang openly entered the study in Marquis Gu’s Manor, yet His Majesty still did nothing to him.
It seems that he has firmly decided to not engage in battle with Western Kun.
Even if you really are a princess from Western Kun, His Majesty would not truly do anything.”

He muttered to himself and sat back down at the desk.
Picking up his brush once more, he continued to make calculations on the paper.

Western Kun’s empress.

The crown prince’s birth mother, with her status as the country’s mother, if she secretly gave birth to a princess, it definitely would not remain hidden.

Dipping his brush in ink, he crossed out the words Empress Kun.

Continuing down, Beauty Zheng.

Kun WuShang’s birth mother.
No matter how one looked, he and Yu Fu did not look like siblings born from the same mother.

Siblings born from the same parents would always have some similarities, no matter how different they looked.

Kun WuShang’s sharp and handsome features were distinctive.
Standing tall and mightily, he had the unruliness and might found in men from Western Kun.

Yu Fu’s beauty was not like a firework that stood out among people.
She was refined and elegant like someone from an elegant place.

The two of them were not at all alike.

It was just like how he and Yin JiYao shared no similarities…

Yin Shuo lifted his brush and froze for a moment, only bringing it back down after a long pause.

The words Beauty Zheng were also crossed out in black ink.
