Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Knock On Sun Shuyuan
Ying Ran glanced at the door and said, “Well, that’s good. Leave two people behind. The others will return to their posts. What should they do?”

“Yes, Imperial Daughter.” Everyone turned around and left, leaving behind two guards who looked like gods waiting for Ying Ran’s orders.

The Crown Prince came out from the inside and looked at the tent set up at the entrance. He didn’t know what this little sister was going to do, so he walked over to her and said, “Little sister, father told me to come out to see you. What are you doing?”

“Big brother, just watch. Don’t worry, I promise not to cause any trouble.” The Crown Prince only feels that a flock of crows are flying in front of him. With this posture, will you, Fu Yingran, not cause trouble? Who would believe it, and would your promise work? If your promise works, you won ‘t be fu yingran

Seeing his big brother’s distrust, Ying Ran looked at the sky speechlessly. It seemed that his reputation was really bad. Since he didn’t believe it, then he wouldn’t believe it. I’d better finish my business first. Hence, Ying Ran looked back at the people from Prince Jing’s Mansion.

“Everyone, you’ve worked hard. My Duanwang Palace is not comparable to the Left Prime Minister’s Palace. The small family’s warehouse is also very small. It can’t hold so many things. Please carry these betrothal gifts into the newly erected tent. Duanwang Palace will find someone to look after them.” Ying Ran pointed at the tent that had just been set up and said expressionlessly.

The Crown Prince listened to his little sister’s words and almost laughed. This little sister was too capable of deceiving people. This was obviously lying.

Hearing this, the butler of Prince Jing’s Mansion thought that things were not good. Imperial Daughter’s words were clearly slapping her face. The dignified Duanwang Mansion was a small family, so other people’s houses were sleeping on the streets. Although the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion was not small, it was incomparable to Duanwang Mansion. However, his highness had made Miss Sun his wife and Imperial Daughter Jingxian his wife.

Isn’t it the same as saying that Prince Duan’s Mansion is inferior to the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion? This time, Fu Yingran used these words to stop him. Even if he knew that Fu Yingran had slapped him in the face, the butler was speechless. Who said that Prince Jing was stupid?

“Imperial Daughter, it’s not that we don’t listen to you. There really isn’t such a rule. May I trouble Imperial Daughter Duan to come out and say something?” These servants really didn’t dare to make decisions on such a big matter, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to explain it after returning to the manor.

“May I ask what you call me?” Ying Ran asked in an impertinent manner. Are you kidding me, Prince Duan, that’s what a servant like you wants to see? You think too highly of yourself.

“Commandery Princess, this servant is the housekeeper of Prince Jing’s Manor. This servant has no intention of offending you. However, if this betrothal gift is not carried into the manor, this old servant cannot explain it to Prince Jing.” In the Great Wei Kingdom, if the betrothal gift did not enter the door, then the next appointment would not count. This way, they would not be able to explain to King Jing when they returned.

Fu Yingran ignored him and continued, “Butler Wang, don’t worry. Just do as I say. If Prince Jing blames you, let him come to me and talk to me.”

Hearing Fu Yingran’s words, The people from Prince Jing’s Mansion were still standing at the entrance, neither daring to carry them into Prince Duan’s Mansion nor into the tent. They were just wasting their time there. Fu Yingran saw that, and his anger rose. He said indifferently, “Everyone, please carry the betrothal gift into the tent. My Prince Duan’s Mansion will send people to guard it, or you can carry it back the same way.”

“Imperial Daughter, since ancient times, marriage has always been a matter of parents’ orders and matchmakers’ orders. Please come out and preside over Prince Duan.” The housekeeper was now counting on Prince Duan to come out and say something so that they could carry the betrothal gift through the door so that they could go back and resume their orders.

“Yes, you’re right. What about Duanmu Jing’s parents? Why didn’t they come personally? That’s my master and mother. They don’t like me so much? Oh, I almost forgot that Miss Sun is the main wife. Master and mother have probably already gone to Sun Manor.” Actually, she knew that Master and Mother hadn’t entered the capital. It was just deliberately making things difficult.

‘”Commandery Princess, Lord Duanmu is on his way to the capital. My Prince went to the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion this morning. Something happened there and he hasn’t returned yet. My Prince is afraid that he will miss an hour. I told the Princess to wait for a long time, so I sent a servant to bring the betrothal gift over. He will arrive soon.” Just as Steward Wang finished speaking, Prince Duan walked out.

Duanmu Jing is really capable. Duanmu Jing looked around and said, “Either put these things under the eaves or carry them back. Don’t block them at the entrance of my Duanmu Prince’s Mansion.” Hearing this, Duanmu Kissed me bluntly and said, “Very good, isn’t this a slap on the face of my Duanmu Prince’s Mansion?”

“Prince Duan …” Housekeeper Wang wanted to say something nice, but Prince Duan interrupted, “There’s no need to say anything else. Just do as this king says.”

As he finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the manor. He instructed everyone in Duanwang Manor, “Listen up, leave two people guarding the door. Everyone else will follow me into the manor and close the door.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Everyone from Prince Duan’s Mansion walked into the mansion, and the door slammed shut, leaving everyone in the Jing Mansion stunned.

The butler was directly forced to do so. How could this be? What should we do? If we offend Prince Duan’s Mansion, then there would be a good result? Right now, he could only hope that Prince Duan could bear the responsibility for Duanmu Manor’s sake. Thus, Butler Wang gritted his teeth and finally ordered the people to carry the betrothal gifts into the tent under the eaves. Then, he brought the people from Prince Jing’s Manor back. There was no other way, and this betrothal gift could not be carried back.

We need to discuss this matter with His Highness. Let’s see what we can do. Don’t cause any big trouble. Prince Duan is not someone to offend.

It turned out that this morning, Prince Jing personally went to the Left Prime Minister’s mansion to hire someone. But before the Left Prime Minister went back to his mansion, Sun Shuyuan invited Prince Jing to her bedroom and asked Prince Jing to accompany her for dinner. Prince Jing had no choice but to accompany Sun Shuyuan to dinner at the Left Prime Minister’s mansion. He originally planned to return after lunch. He should be able to hire someone from the Prince Duan’s mansion.

Who knew that after lunch, Prince Jing suddenly felt weak all over, and then he was unconscious. He did not wake up until two hours later. After asking for four hours, he knew that something was wrong, so he immediately instructed the butler to hurry back to the manor and carry the betrothal gift to Prince Duan’s manor. On the other hand, he stood up and looked at the wrinkles on his clothes. He planned to go back to the manor to freshen up, change his clothes, and then rush to Duanwang Manor to accompany him. Even if he was stupid, Prince Jing knew that without Duanwang’s support, he would not be able to become king so easily.

Housekeeper Wang hurried back to Prince Jing’s Mansion as soon as possible. At the entrance of Prince Jing’s Mansion, we met Prince Jing who was walking outside. We hurriedly greeted him. “Your Highness, no good. Prince Duan’s Mansion won’t let the betrothal gift in. The imperial daughter asked the servants to set up a few tents under the eaves and let us put the betrothal gift inside. We even sent two guards to guard it. What’s good about this? According to the rules of our Great Wei Empire, if the betrothal gift doesn’t come in, the engagement doesn’t count.”

Prince Jing was shocked. This is really bad. Prince Duan must be angry. Although he is now with Prime Minister Zuo and Concubine Shu, he still needs the help of Prince Duan’s Manor. After all, he is also a general. Besides, the Sun Family is not necessarily reliable. Now he knows that his decision is irrational. It seems that Prince Duan said that he is not helping him anymore.

So he immediately instructed Housekeeper Wang, “Send someone to Tianyi Village to invite Father to the capital?” Right now, he could only hope that Prince Duan could make things go smoothly for his father’s sake.

“Your highness, This servant received a message this morning, It is said that Manor Master Duanmu received news from Prince Duan yesterday that he has already left the house. He reckons that he will arrive in the capital tomorrow. Let’s just wait. However, Your Highness, this servant feels that you fainted in the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion today for no reason. This matter should be told to Prime Minister. Otherwise, this will probably happen again in the future. This imperial concubine is probably not simple. ” The butler remembered what had happened today and his feet were still trembling slightly.

“En, find two people and go to the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion to tell Prime Minister what happened today. Tell him to beat Sun Shuyuan. If she doesn’t know the seriousness of the matter, this prince can forget about the Sun Clan’s assistance. The agreement is over.”

Prince Jing closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Did he, Duanmu Jing, do something wrong? Is this Sun family reliable, Now that Prince Duan had said that he would no longer help him, If the Sun Family were to get into trouble again, What can he do, Now he could only hope that after Ying Ran entered the manor, Prince Duan could continue to support him for Ying Ran’s sake. At that time, he was also momentarily confused. Only then would he agree to the Sun Clan. If he had known that he would offend Prince Duan’s Manor, then he would definitely not have agreed to the Sun Clan. Now he regretted it. But below the imperial edict, Jun Wu joked. He could only marry Sun Shuyuan according to the edict.

“Yes, Your Highness, this old servant will do it now. Your expression is very bad now. This old servant should help you go back to your room to rest first. This matter cannot be rushed. It is better to wait until Villa Master Duanmu arrives tomorrow.” Butler Wang was worried when he saw Prince Jing’s exhausted expression.
