Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Visit Little Junior Sister
“Your Highness, this little nephew came here today to apologize to Duanwang Manor for what happened yesterday. Yesterday, this little nephew was supposed to come here personally, but he didn’t want to, but he suddenly fainted in the Left Prime Minister’s Manor. It was only an hour ago that he wasn’t able to come here personally. I hope that Your Highness will forgive this little nephew.” Prince Jing honestly explained the situation yesterday, hoping that Prince Duan could understand.

“Where did Prince Jing start? What happened in the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion is your own business. As for your failure to come to the Prince Duan’s Mansion, it is your freedom. We have no right to interfere. This marriage is originally a matter for the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion. It is understandable that you value that place.”

When King Jing heard this, his heart trembled. He hurriedly explained, “Your Highness, I assure you that I will never let Ying Ran suffer any grievances in the future. After the wedding, everything will be Ying Ran. Please trust me, Your Highness.”

Prince Duan looked at Duanmu Jing with a meaningful glance. Then, he said directly, “You are a soldier brought out by this king. This king knows that your nature is not bad, but your temperament is uncertain. Today, this king will give you a piece of advice in front of your father.”

“Your Highness, please speak. Little Nephew, listen respectfully.” Prince Jing sat up straight and waited quietly for Prince Duan to speak.

Prince Duan is not polite anymore, In front of Duanmu Yuan, He said, “Actually, you are Brother Duanmu’s only son, the Young Manor Master of the Heavenly Villa. With the influence of the Heavenly Villa, you can run rampant in any country, and no emperor of that country will make things difficult for you. However, you cannot arbitrarily probe the bottom line of the royal family, because the royal family has the dignity of the royal family, and that is not to be trampled upon.”

Also, this king would like to remind you that you are the general of the Great Wei Kingdom, and you must remember that the surname of this Great Wei Kingdom is Fu, not Sun. You can do it yourself. “This is very serious, but if you don’t say it like this, I’m afraid you won’t be able to wake Prince Jing up.

“Alright, Prince Jing’s wedding is imminent. I presume that things are busy, so I won’t keep you here any longer. I haven’t seen your father for many years, so I have something to say. Let your father stay at Prince Duan’s Mansion tonight. Come and see him off.” After Prince Duan finished speaking, he called the servants to send off the guests and didn’t want to pay any more attention to Prince Jing.

But Prince Jing didn’t do it anymore. His purpose today was to see Fu Yingran, so he asked, “Your Highness, this little nephew still wants to see Yingran. Should I accompany her face-to-face with what happened yesterday? May I know if it’s convenient?” Ever since Ying Ran fainted in the garden that day, he hadn’t spoken to his junior sister. No matter what happened yesterday, he had to explain it to her face.

“Alright, for your father’s sake, ask the servants to take you to Orchid Garden.” Since his daughter had said that she would settle this matter by herself, then he would not interfere and let her handle it by herself.

When Prince Jing left the study room, Duanmu Yuan couldn’t sit still and asked, “Brother Fu, what exactly is going on? I sound serious. Is this bastard in trouble?”

“Brother Duanmu, this matter is really serious. Your son is quite capable …” Prince Duanmu’s purpose in leaving Duanmu Yuan was, It was to tell him the seriousness of the matter, and also to tell him about the emperor’s possible poisoning and the Sun family’s plans, so that he could be prepared. Furthermore, it also made clear that under such circumstances, he would not marry Ying Ran.

“Brother Fu, I can’t interfere in this matter. Jianghu has its own rules. Jianghu people can’t interfere in court matters. I can only trouble Brother Fu to deal with this matter. I just hope that I can try my best to protect his life. As for the throne, it’s not important. With the influence of our Heavenly Villa, Jing’er will also be a person who calls the wind and calls the rain.”

Tian Yi Villa was known as the number one villa under the heavens. Tian Yi Villa’s influence spread across all countries, almost every city had branches, and Tian Yi Villa’s industries involved all walks of life.

Every year, the taxes paid were more than half of the national treasury. Therefore, the royal families of all countries treated Tian Yizhuang with great courtesy, and the royal family of the Great Wei also treated Tian Yizhuang with great privilege. However, the Emperor of the Great Wei did not know that Duanmu Jing was the Young Manor Master of the Heavenly Villa.

Prince Duan heard Duanmu Yuan’s words and expressed his intention, “Brother Duanmu, I left Brother Duanmu here for this matter. No matter what, Jing’er was also a soldier brought out by me, and I pushed him to this position. This prince will definitely try to protect him thoroughly. I will just say hello to you first, so you guys can be prepared.”

‘”Thank you, Brother Fu. I’m not sure about the court matters. It’s all thanks to Brother Fu. I plan to return to Tian Yi Village tomorrow. My Tian Yi Village will not admit anything about the Sun Family’s marriage. Originally, Jing’er and I had always hoped that Ying Ran would be our daughter-in-law. I didn’t expect this kid to be so foolish. I hope that this girl wouldn’t get divorced from us.” Duanmu Yuanxin was tired. A good daughter-in-law was thrown out by this brat.

Seeing Duanmu Yuan’s exhausted expression, Duanmu Prince couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Duanmu, it’s rare for you to come to the capital. Stay a few more days. If you don’t want to live in Prince Jing’s Mansion, stay in my Duanmu Prince’s Mansion, so that Ying Ran can accompany you and let her take you to the capital.”

“You’re already an old man. You can’t afford to hurry forward one after another. Your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let them do it by themselves. Only by taking a cut can they gain wisdom. As long as we give him a good grasp of the general direction, he’ll be fine.” The child who helps him walk will never be able to stand steadily. Only by letting go of his hand and letting him suffer some injuries will he have the courage to face the future.

“Ah, alright, then let’s disturb Brother Fu. His Jing Palace is red and green. It’s annoying to see it. Let’s just leave it out of sight.” Duanmu Yuan really didn’t want to live in Prince Jing’s mansion. Those red and green things were reminding him that his son had been schemed. Thinking about it made his heart cram.

At this time, Prince Jing also arrived at Orchid Garden. Fu Yingran was still playing around with the gift from her master’s mother. Duanmu Jing habitually walked straight in, because it was the same in the First Manor. They never needed to notify anyone to enter each other’s room.

Ying Ran looked up and saw that it was Prince Jing. After a second, he naturally asked, “Senior Brother, why are you here? Is there anything wrong?”

“I came to see you and talk to you.” Fu Yingran lightly replied “Oh” and stopped talking. Prince Jing looked at Fu Yingran and felt that this little junior sister was different from before. In the past, as long as she saw him, she would happily pull herself to talk about it. But this time, she was so cold. Prince Jing thought that she might still be angry because of yesterday’s incident.

So he carefully said, “Junior Sister, are you still angry about what happened yesterday? Senior Brother suddenly fainted in the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion yesterday and was unable to come over. Junior Sister, please forgive Senior Brother for once, okay? Don’t be angry.” King Jing stretched out his hand and touched Ying Ran’s head as before.

Ying Ran lowered his head and let him go, not letting him touch him. He continued to say “Oh” faintly. He was joking. I’m not your junior sister, and I can’t accept your enthusiasm.

Prince Jing couldn’t find anything else to say now. He didn’t know what else to say. Little Junior Sister wasn’t like this before. Last time, although she wasn’t very happy, she wasn’t so cold.

Thus, Prince Jing stood there and watched her tidy up her things. He was surprised. Was she a princess lacking these things? Look at her narrowed eyes.

“Junior Sister, the wedding will be in ten days. According to the rules, I will go to the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion to pick up Shu Yuan. I can’t pick you up. Senior Brother will compensate you first. Don’t blame Senior Brother, okay? Senior Brother will compensate you in the future.” According to the rules, Prince Jing had to go to the main wife’s mansion to welcome her. As a flat wife, Ying Ran could only go to the mansion herself.

Ying Ran raised his head and looked at Prince Jing blankly, “Senior Brother, there’s no need to worry. Ying Ran will definitely go to Prince Jing’s Mansion that afternoon. After all, the imperial edict cannot be violated.” After saying that, Ying Ran stopped talking. Prince Jing didn’t know what to say, but both of them were silent.

It wasn’t until Nanny Yang came in and sent a message, “Prince Jing, Princess, Prince Jing invited you to the front hall for dinner.” The two of them looked outside and realized that it was getting dark. It was indeed time for dinner.

“Alright, I’ll be right there. Mammy, bring Jin’er Cui’er down to dinner.” Ying Ran almost tidied up. She closed the door and went to the front hall. She looked at Prince Jing who was walking in front of her, but she didn’t know how to get along with him. She wasn’t Fu Ying Ran, so she couldn’t accept sharing a husband with others.

In fact, Prince Jing was very pretty, otherwise Sun Shuyuan wouldn’t have refused to marry him the moment they met. Prince Jing was 1.8 meters tall. Because he was a general, he looked very dignified, making people feel that he was a little unattainable. Prince Jing didn’t speak much and rarely talked to anyone other than his own family. Ying Ran didn’t understand. How could such a person be able to hook up with those people from the Sun Clan? Could it be that he really answered that sentence, “Bastard mung beans meet your eyes?”

The two of them arrived at the front hall one after another and saw Prince Duan and his wife, Duanmu Yuan, and the Crown Prince waiting for them. Thus, after greeting them, the two of them took their seats.
