Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 139
Chapter 139 Three Obediences (In Ancient China a Woman Was Required to Obey Her Father Before Marriage, and Her Husband During M
“This old servant thanked the princess and the imperial daughter.” As she spoke, she walked to the low table and sat down.
Afterwards, Fu Yingran also sat down beside the Regent Princess. Looking at the empty seat, he said in an extremely disappointed tone, “I wonder if Father and the others have finished speaking. We don’t have much time left. I just want to have a happy reunion dinner with my family, and I don’t know when they will be able to come over.”
It had been three years. She had dreamed back several times and had returned here to accompany her parents and elders. However, every time she woke up, she would still see the cruel reality. She still had to fight alone to survive. Now, she had finally returned. No matter what, she had to fulfill this dream.
The Regent Princess looked at the expectation in her eyes and knew what her daughter was thinking. She immediately instructed the maidservant girl, “Go to the study quickly and ask the prince if they have agreed. Tell him that I invited him over for dinner.”
“Yes, Princess. This servant will go now.” When the maidservant at the door heard the order, she respectfully answered and went to the study room of the palace.
The Regent King had only asked Huyan Mingshuo for details of the annual tribute. It was rare for Huyan Mingshuo to come to his door automatically. He naturally had to think of every way to get some benefits from him. After all, the rise and fall of the Great Wei Kingdom was under the control of the two of them. ,
Fu Yingran was too cunning. The Regent conceded that he could not do anything about it, Huyan Mingshuo was different. His nature was pure and kind. It was easy to plot against him. He was also his son-in-law. He could not refute his father-in-law’s words. Therefore, the Regent King had plotted against his son-in-law for the future of the Great Wei Kingdom. It could be said that he had devoted all his efforts to his death.
No, he was planning to call for Ming Shuo to avoid paying tribute next year, The maidservant pushed open the door and walked in. She bowed to the few of them and said, “Reporting to Your Highness, Your Highness, the princess asked this servant to come over and ask Your Highness if you have agreed. If you have, please bring everyone over for dinner. The prince and Second Young Master will go to the Peony Garden to have a reunion dinner with the Princess.”
This maidservant was also clever and clear. She could tell the truth with just a few words she had heard at the door.
After hearing the little maidservant’s words, Prince Duan frowned slightly. Before he could even speak, his wife had already sent someone to deliver a message. Furthermore, it wasn’t hard to tell from the maidservant’s words that this was her daughter’s intention. Could it be that her heart was truly connected? Indeed, she was an extrovert girl.
However, the regent king thought for a moment, No wonder Fu Yingran said, It has been three years since his daughter left home, It’s rare to come back, Reasonably, He was supposed to be there for her, As for these national affairs, let’s put them aside first. If this Fu Zihao is really promising in the future, he will definitely think of a way to change the current situation of the Great Wei Kingdom. If he is just an ordinary person, then even if he earns a golden mountain for him now, he will still be eaten up at that time. After all, his father is the best example.
Besides, based on Fu Yingran’s relationship, as long as he wasn’t too incompetent, and as long as the Emperor of Ye Lan was him, Huyan Mingshuo, he would definitely protect the Great Wei Kingdom for Fu Yingran’s sake.
He thought that he had worked hard for half his life for the Great Wei Kingdom, so it was time for him to enjoy his leisure. The so-called children and grandchildren had their own blessings, not to mention, he also had two sons, Fu Tianyang and Fu Tianchen. With their two brothers helping Fu Zihao, the future of the Great Wei Kingdom would not be that bad in the future.
After thinking about it, He swallowed the words that had reached his mouth, He stood up first, He said to his son-in-law, “Alright, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You can handle your own affairs in the future. This prince is too lazy to worry. Ming Shuo and Ying Ran have also come back once in a blue moon. Let’s eat happily together. It’s been a long time since this prince saw that cheater. Let’s go to the Peony Garden together.”
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out of the study. Huyan Mingshuo brought Huyan Mingshuo and Fu Tianchen to Peony Garden together. Huyan Mingshuo silently followed behind the Regent King. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. He secretly rejoiced that the maidservant had arrived in time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it. This father-in-law was too shrewd to force him to fight back.
Just by listening to the Regent’s tone, he knew that if he continued to talk, the Great Wei Kingdom would probably leave his control. Once the Regent opened his mouth, he would definitely be unable to refuse. Who called him his father-in-law?
But he could not set such a precedent, If he agreed to the request of the Great Wei Kingdom, the other countries would definitely follow suit. Then, wouldn’t it be a waste of time and effort for him to rule the world? The Regent King had no scruples about this reason, but he, Huyan Mingshuo, had no choice but to consider it. After all, he was the ruler of the world now.
Fortunately, Mother-in-law sent a message from her maidservant in time. and relieved him of his embarrassment, At this moment, he could only pretend to be an invisible person, He quietly followed the father and son to the Peony Garden. He thought to himself that it was better to leave the Regent’s Mansion after dinner. His father-in-law was too shrewd, and he was completely unable to withstand it. Now, he finally knew that Fu Yingran had definitely inherited the Regent’s mantle and was better than Blue.
As for the Fu brothers, Looking at this brother-in-law, He finally felt relieved, From his attitude towards the regent, it can be seen that, He should care more about his sister, Otherwise, he wouldn’t have yielded so many times, He also agreed to many of his requests. The most surprising thing was that he actually agreed to let the Regent King decide on the replacement of the Great Wei Emperor. In other words, the entire Great Wei was under the control of the Regent King. He could decide who he wanted to be the Great Wei Emperor in just a single sentence. He didn’t have to worry about anything at all.
Just like that, the few of them thought about their own matters of mind. He walked forward quietly, Not long after, they returned to the Peony Garden. When they walked in, they saw Fu Yingran and her daughter sitting there waiting. The Regent King took the lead and sat beside his wife. He said apologetically, “It’s my fault for keeping you waiting. It’s rare for a family reunion today, so there’s no need to be restrained. Everyone, sit down and eat.”
The Regent Princess couldn’t help but complain, “Do you know that Ying Ran and the others rarely come back? This family was finally reunited with great difficulty, but you’re lucky. Before Ming Shuo even stepped into my Peony Garden, you were already in a hurry to call them away. What kind of big matter is so important? Do you have to say it at this time?”
As soon as Fu Yingran heard her mother’s words, he immediately echoed, “That’s right, Father, it’s rare for us to come back. Can’t you talk to me properly?” Just what kind of thing is it that makes you burn your butt like this? Mingshuo has just entered the mansion, and he hasn’t even managed to stand on his feet yet, yet you’ve already called him away. Tell me yourself, what did you scheme against my husband again? ”
The regent king’s apology dissipated after hearing this. He immediately glared at Fu Yingran and said, “Fu Yingran, do you still need this king to remind you that you are the eldest princess of my Great Wei Kingdom and the direct descendant of my Fu Clan? Is it really appropriate for you to turn your elbow out like this?”
Hearing that, Fu Yingran immediately refused. He immediately stood up and said, “Father, you’re wrong. What do you mean by turning my elbow out? Didn’t all of you men always emphasize that women should follow three principles and four virtues? Then can Father please tell me which three principles and four virtues are followed? And which four principles and four virtues are followed by?” This was Fu Yingran’s trump card. No matter what, as long as he pushed it towards Huyan Mingshuo, it would be a great principle.
When the Regent heard this, he was instantly speechless. Isn’t it at home from father, marry from husband, husband die from son? This was something that their man was familiar with every day. However, it was all their request to their wives. He would never have thought that one day his daughter would actually use this sentence to ask him. This was truly a cycle of karma.
Seeing that the regent had been defeated, Although everyone’s expression was not obvious, they all had their own thoughts in their hearts. That’s right, you can’t be a person with double standards. Your own wife is also the daughter and sister of someone else’s family, and your own daughter and sister will also be the wife of someone else’s family. When you ask your own wife to obey the four virtues, others will obey the four virtues of their own wife.
Seeing her daughter contradict her husband like this, Princess Regent couldn’t tell what it was like, This woman, once she stepped out of her mother’s door, it meant that she would abandon everything she had originally done and accept all the arrangements that fate had brought to her. In this ancient era, this was also the sorrow of every woman. He couldn’t help but look back at his husband. She also wanted to know how he would reply to her daughter.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but worry about her daughter. After all, her husband’s temper had never been very good. Now that his daughter had contradicted him in front of everyone, she couldn’t help but lose face. She was afraid that he would lose control of himself and get angry at her.
Fu Yingran saw that no one was talking, “Since you can’t tell me, father,” she continued, “then I’ll tell you. The so-called’three conformities and four virtues’ only mean that a woman should follow her father at home, marry her husband, die a child, and pay attention to the four virtues. It also means that after marriage, she should talk about women’s virtues, women’s words, women’s appearance, and women’s merits.
And now that I am his wife, Huyan Mingshuo, what’s wrong with me thinking about him? As your father-in-law, you are always thinking of plotting against your own son-in-law. Don’t tell me that it makes sense? They all said that a son-in-law is half a son-in-law. Do you think of him as your half son? “I’ve never seen you plot against Big Brother and Second Brother like this.”
Looking at her daughter who was chattering away, ‘”Alright, you unlucky child, I don’t know what kind of sin this king committed, but you actually gave birth to a daughter like you. No matter what, it’s all your fault. Hurry up and finish eating and scram for this king. Watching you will give me a headache. If I talk to you a few more words, I’m afraid I’ll have to live a few years less.”
Hearing what he said, Fu Yingran actually said shamelessly, “Don’t worry, Father, after I return, I will surely beg the gods to worship Buddha every day to bless your longevity. That way, I can often come back to anger you. If I don’t have you in my life, it would be a lot less fun.”
After Fu Yingran finished speaking, the Regent Princess quickly stood up and said, “Alright, as long as you father and daughter meet, they will quarrel. It has been a long time since we last saw each other. The one who thinks the most about it is you guys. It’s been a long time since we’ve met, can’t you guys just say a few words less?” “Hurry up and sit down and eat. Just do what you have to do. I know that you are all people who do great things. I don’t care about the rest. As long as you are all well, I will be satisfied.”
