Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Create Friction
Seeing that they had all agreed, Fu Yingran stood up and pulled on the prince’s sleeve. “Did you all agree? Father, you came at the right time today. My daughter is planning to cook something delicious. You must eat before you can go back.”

Now that the two armies were facing each other, Prince Duan didn’t want to stay here for long, But looking at the expectation in her daughter’s eyes, Prince Duan and Huyan Mingshuo couldn’t bear to disappoint her. Huyan Mingshuo also asked, “Since father-in-law has come, let’s go after dinner. Ying Ran’s cooking is not bad. Now that the business has been settled, it’s time to enjoy the family relationship. It’s been more than a year since Ying Ran married to Ye Lan. It’s rare to see her relatives. Today, it’s rare to see father-in-law. Let father-in-law stay and have dinner with her.”

Prince Duan looked at Fu Yingran. Her heart was sour. Although this daughter is already married and has children, But she’s just a sixteen-year-old, but he could only stay far away from his hometown, Being far away from his parents and living alone in a foreign country, he was also distressed as a father. Now that his daughter was just a small request, how could he not satisfy her? So he no longer refused. He immediately smiled and said to Ying Ran, “Alright, I’m also hungry for my father. Let’s see what kind of good thing you can bring out to entertain me today.”

Seeing Prince Duan agree to stay for dinner, Fu Yingran smiled and said happily to him, “Don’t worry, I will do a lot. I will definitely make you praise me endlessly. You guys can chat first. I’ll go to the kitchen to see what dishes are available and what can be cooked.”

Ever since Fu Yingran arrived at the barracks the next day, Her mouth-picking problem was repeated, She also hated that the cooking skills of the military chefs were too bad and the dishes were too bad. She even pestered Huyan Mingshuo to get him a small kitchen. She would usually provide some fruits and vegetables separately. She would often teach the military chefs the new cooking method of each dish. Therefore, the food of the Ye Lan army was very good now, and they were all well-fed.

“Alright, you can go. Father still has some details to discuss with Crown Prince Shuo.” Prince Duan watched Fu Yingran leave the tent with a loving expression. He walked to the small kitchen beside him. He owed this daughter a debt in his heart. Ever since she was born, he had not stayed by his side properly. Either he had followed the Empress Dowager’s side since childhood, or he had been sent to Tianyi Manor to practice martial arts.

At the age of fifteen, He returned to his side with great difficulty, However, he was repeatedly plotted by the Emperor. First, he was forced to marry Prince Jing as his wife, and then he was forced to marry Ye Lan. Now, he was only sixteen years old, but he was already a mother. He knew that because of their special identities, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Huyan Mingshuo would take good care of her for the rest of his life, and it was not in vain for her to marry him.

Thinking of this, He couldn’t help but turn around and say to Huyan Mingshuo, “Crown Prince Shuo, Ying Ran is the only daughter-in-law of my Duanwang Manor, I’ve been away from us since I was a kid, He didn’t enjoy a day of familial love, This king is very guilty of her, “Back then, she had no choice but to marry you. Fortunately, the two of you have feelings for each other. This prince has no other requests now. I only hope that you can treat her well and let her be safe for the rest of her life. Of course, Ying Ran is this prince’s daughter. As this prince’s son-in-law, you can rest assured that this prince will support you to the fullest extent that this prince can.”

Seeing Prince Duan say this, Huyan Mingshuo immediately promised, “Don’t worry, father-in-law. I promise you that Huyan Mingshuo will definitely live up to his promise in this life.” He had said this many times, but the meaning was different when facing different people. Today, he said this to Prince Duan with a very serious expression. After all, this was Fu Yingran’s biological father, and the meaning he represented was also different. Since he had said it, he could not go back on his word.

“Mm, it’s best if that’s the case. Although Prince Duan’s Mansion can’t be your enemy for the entire night, it can still be done to protect Fu Yingran.” Prince Duan’s words were threatening. Just as he had said, even though he did not have the strength to deal with the entire Yelan army, he could still protect Fu Yingran.

After all, it was impossible for Ye Lan to do it for Fu Yingran, Moreover, Fu Tianchen still had some troops, and the Duanwang Palace’s troops were well-trained. They weren’t like those noble soldiers from the Southern Region or the Great Wei who could easily collapse. Therefore, if Ye Lan wanted to fight Duanwang Palace, it would still take some effort.

After Huyan Mingshuo heard this, he did not defend himself. He only said, “No matter how much assurance I give now, it will be useless. In the future, Lord Father-in-law just needs to watch. The most important thing now is to discuss what we should do next so that the monarchs and officials of the Great Wei Kingdom can act according to the results we want.”

“Well, that’s good, is to make a plan, Otherwise, it’s easy to be suspicious, “At that time, everyone would think that our Duanwangfu colluded with Ye Lan to betray Great Wei, which led to the change of the throne of Great Wei. After all, your plan is to let this prince regent. That is equivalent to taking control of Great Wei in my hands. In addition to the relationship between you and me, it is also very difficult for people not to doubt it.”

That’s right. If things went according to what they wanted, the only one who would benefit would be Prince Duan’s Mansion. Hence, Huyan Mingshuo instructed the guards outside, “Come, find a few people to surround the tent. No one except the Crown Princess is allowed to approach. Those who disobey the order will be killed.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The guard responded and beckoned for a few patrolling soldiers. The few of them quickly surrounded Ming Shuo’s tent, causing him and Prince Duan to be able to discuss their next plan with ease.

On the kitchen side, Fu Yingran was busy inside alone. This was the first time Prince Duan had eaten the food she cooked. She had already cooked all her specialties. Thus, when she finished cooking the meal, it was already an hour later. When she brought Jin’er and Cui’er to the table, Prince Duan and Huyan Mingshuo had also discussed about it.

As soon as Fu Yingran entered the door, he smiled and said, “Father, have you all agreed? The food has already been prepared. You can eat now. I personally cooked these. You must eat more.” As she spoke, she instructed Jin’er and Cui’er to arrange the dishes and serve them.

When Prince Duan saw her enter, he immediately stopped talking to Huyan Mingshuo. He smiled and said to her, “Well, I’ve already said everything I need to say. At that time, all you need to do is follow the plan. This is an extraordinary time, so I won’t be able to stay here for long. After dinner, I’ll go back first. If there’s anything I need, I’ll send someone to deliver a letter to you.”

Prince Duan said as he walked to the dining table and sat down. Looking at the table full of dishes, his eyes couldn’t help but turn red. He thought about how noble Fu Yingran’s status was. She had always been the pet of the Golden Paragon since childhood. When was it her turn to personally cook? Today, she had actually cooked the table full of dishes for him. Thus, he silently picked up his bowl and ate every dish on the table.

Huyan Mingshuo and Fu Yingran also walked to the dining table. After taking their respective seats, She also picked up the bowl of rice in front of her and ate silently. Fu Yingran heard Prince Duan say, I’m going home after dinner, In his heart, he was extremely reluctant to part, It had been a year since she finally saw her father. She wanted to get closer to him, but the situation forced her to say a few words. However, she wanted to separate her forehead immediately. It was inevitable that her heart was blocked. However, she also knew that in the current situation, Prince Duan should return to the Great Wei Army as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be easy for her to be mistaken for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

Therefore, Fu Yingran forced a smile to accompany Prince Duan to dinner. Then, he and Huyan Mingshuo escorted Prince Duan out of the Ye Lan barracks. Seeing Prince Duan leave alone, Fu Yingran’s eyes turned red. After Huyan Mingshuo saw her, he held her in his arms and said, “Don’t be sad. As long as we solve the problem before us, we will have a chance to meet again in the future.”

“Yes, I know. Let’s go back.” After saying that, the two of them walked back. After the two of them returned to the tent, Fu Yingran asked, “What did you discuss with my father? What should we do next?” Fu Yingran was not a weak Eldest Miss. She was accustomed to seeing life and death parting. Therefore, although such a parting would be sad for her, it would not last for long.

Seeing her ask, Huyan Mingshuo told her the result of his discussion with Prince Duan, “I have discussed with your father, if we directly return all the cities to the great wei, then put forward to pay son hao ascend to the throne, but end prince regent, then others will say that your father colluded with us, intent to seize the ruling power of the great wei, so even if the final success, also must fall to the population.

So we talked about it, it ‘s still going to create some small friction, with the intention of stalling, As far as the Great Wei was concerned, It won’t last long, When the Great Wei Imperial Court fails to pay us the rations and salaries, they will definitely send people to negotiate with us. At that time, we will come up with our conditions logically, and the Great Wei will have no choice but to agree to our conditions when they are unable to support us. Therefore, all we need to do is send some people to the Great Wei barracks to pick a gap every day. ”

“That’s good too. In this way, even if my father holds the ruling power of the Great Wei Kingdom in his hands in the future, no one else will complain. However, in the face of the Iron Cutting Army, you must never use explosives.” This Iron Cutting Army was created by Prince Duan alone, which was equivalent to the shield of Prince Duan’s Manor. As the daughter of Prince Duan’s Manor, she naturally had to do her best to preserve the strength of the Iron Cutting Army.

‘”Don’t worry, I know about this. After all, I am also the son-in-law of Duanwang Manor. Don’t worry about this. Just stay here and wait for Fu Zihao to ascend to the throne. We will immediately withdraw our troops. I will bring you back to Ye Lan to see Haoze. He should be laughing, right? It’s already been half a year.” Over the past six months, he had often thought of that crumpled little person. After all, that was the inheritance of his bloodline.

“Alright, I wonder if he can recognize us?” Speaking of her son, Fu Yingran felt extremely guilty in her heart. In order to worry about Huyan Mingshuo, she had left her newborn son in the palace of Ye Lan. Therefore, even if her son did not recognize her, it was reasonable.

Seeing the guilt on her face, Huyan Mingshuo said to her, “Don’t think too much, He’s our son, Unceasing bloodline love, “Whether he recognizes him or not, he is our son. When we return to Ye Lan, we will bring him over and spend more time with him. After we get along for a long time in the future, our relationship will grow deeper. It’s still early. You should rest first. I’ll go out and arrange for things to end here as soon as possible so that we can return as soon as possible.”

Only accompaniment could nurture feelings. Huyan Mingshuo and Fu Yingran both knew this, so they decided that after returning, they must bring their son back to their side to nurture feelings.

“Alright, you go. I’ll go sleep for a while.” Huyan Mingshuo saw that she was in a low mood, so he didn’t bother her anymore. After she fell asleep, he turned around and went out to arrange things. Since the outcome of the discussion had been decided, he had to follow the plan. In this way, he would need to arrange a lot of things for himself.
