Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 192
Chapter 192 Seduce Huyan Mingshuo
“Oh? Is that so? Tell me what exactly happened.”
Such a situation was already within Fu Yingran’s expectations. But even if she could guess, The details need to be understood, The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemy is invincible, Thus, after lunch, she instructed Chun Tao and the others to take advantage of the time they were resting to wander around and focus on inquiring about the current situation in the Imperial Capital. These girls were indeed smart. They strolled around the Imperial Capital for an afternoon and found out everything about the current situation in the Imperial Capital.
Chun Tao put the information she had gathered this afternoon into her mind and said, ‘”Yes, Princess, according to the information I’ve heard, the court of Yelan has been divided into three forces. One of them is Dang Yu, most of whom are under the Grand Emperor. They are targeting the current Emperor. They want to help the old Emperor ascend to the throne again, so as to ensure that the power in their hands is not weakened.
One was led by the Right Virtuous King. These were all officials who had women entering the palace this time. Their purpose was relatively simple. They just wanted to force the Emperor to accept those women and change the current situation in the court. Their purpose was also to consolidate the power in their hands for a long time to come.
There was also the power of the current Emperor, “Although they have a large number of people, they are unable to deal with the other two forces at the same time. Adding on the fact that the new emperor has just ascended the throne and the court is undergoing great reforms, it can be said that the emperor’s current situation is very difficult. Fortunately, most of the public opinion is in favour of the emperor. Otherwise, the capital of Ye Lan would have been unimaginable long ago.”
Fu Yingran quietly listened to Chun Tao’s analysis. It had only been an afternoon, and a few maids had been able to inquire so thoroughly about the current situation in the Imperial Capital. Furthermore, they had analyzed the situation so clearly. It could be seen that their efficiency was not bad, and Fu Yingran was quite satisfied with it.
Thus, she nodded in approval and said, “Well, very well, Looks like you’ve learned a lot over the years, “It’s not easy for you to come all the way here. It’s been a long afternoon. It’s been hard for you all. Hurry up and rest. This palace is going to go out now. By the way, tell everyone to be careful when they go out recently. Don’t expose our whereabouts so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.”
“It’s the princess. This servant will remember. This servant will retire.” With that, Chun Tao retreated.
Fu Yingran got up and changed into his night clothes before leaving the room. All the way to the palace, After hearing Chun Tao’s words and understanding Huyan Mingshuo’s current situation, she was very worried. After all, the husband and wife had been grateful for a hundred days in one night, and she had always been wholeheartedly towards him. If it wasn’t for the Consort Conferred Ceremony, how could she be willing to leave him and let him face all sorts of schemes of these people alone? Her husband, Fu Yingran, could be bullied no matter what. If others wanted to plot against him, they had to ask her if she would agree.
Coupled with her decision, she had always felt guilty about Huyan Mingshuo. She felt that it was necessary to communicate with him properly so as not to create a gap between husband and wife. That was not good. Thinking of this, Fu Yingran quickened his pace. A gentle breeze drove the treetops and a figure quickly moved through the skies above the Imperial Capital.
But in the time of a cup of tea, Fu Yingran’s figure stopped on the roof of Longxiang Palace. She gently opened a tile and looked down. Huyan Mingshuo was sitting alone in front of the dragon table, reading the memorial. There wasn’t even a single eunuch or palace maid by his side. Fu Yingran felt heartache for him and also felt gratified. He really didn’t pay attention to those women. Otherwise, why were they still here at this time? It would be much better if she didn’t think about Fu Yingran. Therefore, she wanted to play a trick on him. Since she was disguised, why not go down and seduce him to see if he really didn’t move.
Fu Yingran had always been an action-oriented person. She thought of something and immediately put it into practice. She reached out to pull off her mask and jumped off the roof. Little Yizi, who was guarding the door, was about to call for help. Fu Yingran quickly put the piece of medicinal jade in front of him.
When Little Yizi saw this jade pendant, he immediately knew who it was. Wasn’t it the Empress of his family? So he quickly and quietly moved aside, Fu Yingran gestured to the hidden royal guards and respectfully gave Fu Yingran over. Fu Yingran did not knock on the door and directly pushed the door open. Seeing Huyan Mingshuo still sitting in front of the table reading the memorial, Fu Yingran smiled and took a step forward to salute Huyan Mingshuo, saying, “This concubine greets the Emperor.”
Huyan Mingshuo looked up and said, An unfamiliar woman was standing there. nor did he observe it carefully, He only thought that some woman from the Western Palace who was not afraid of death had come to cause trouble again. This kind of thing had never stopped since he returned to the palace. Although he had already prohibited the people from entering the Eastern Palace without permission, and those who violated the order had to exterminate their families. However, these people were not afraid of death and kept barging into the Eastern Palace unwillingly.
Just as he was about to explode and deal with them, The group of people led by the Virtuous Monarch of the Right raised their objections. He used all sorts of methods to pressure him, so under the pressure of the officials, he couldn’t copy their families and destroy their clansmen for this. Back then, he had only said this to intimidate these women. He didn’t expect these women to be so disapproving, much less that Prince Youxian would come back with such a move.
Ever since the ascension ceremony, King Youxian knew that he had decided to draw a clear line with him. He had secretly tangled with those families that had women entering the palace. They were their own factions and opposed him everywhere. As long as he attacked any one of them, they would rebel together and constantly create public opinion among the people, causing him to be unable to do anything.
It was only this morning that he had just dismissed a troublesome master. Fortunately, she was only the daughter of a rank four official, and her father was a civil servant with no real power. That was why dealing with her did not arouse too much reaction from the Right Virtuous King and the others.
But even so, There was also quite a bit of public opinion among the people, There was even a joint petition, He’s upset about it, At this moment, Huyan Mingshuo saw another woman who was not afraid of death. Huyan Mingshuo thought to himself, “Since you are not afraid of death, then I will start the operation. He can’t bear it anymore. No matter how much public opinion is discussed this time, he will ruthlessly deal with this woman who is not afraid of death. At worst, he will be a tyrant. It will be better than being restrained everywhere.”
So he put down the memorial in his hand that he hadn’t read yet, and expressionlessly looked at her and asked, “Tell me, which madam of mine are you, or which lord’s daughter are you?”
Apart from Xiao Ya and Mu Lian, he didn’t know any of the other women in Xi Gong, so the woman in front of him could only be a madam, not a concubine.
Seeing him say this, Fu Yingran secretly laughed in her heart. Just how unlucky were these women to meet such a man? Judging from his current attitude, this shouldn’t be the first time such a thing happened. This also aroused Fu Yingran’s curiosity. She also wanted to know how he dealt with those women who trespassed without permission.
So she put away the craftiness in her eyes and said with a sad expression, “Where did the Emperor start?” Regardless of whether this concubine was a madam, a concubine, or a queen, or what kind of family was this concubine’s mother’s family? It shouldn’t matter what rank my father is at, right? The most important thing is that since the day I entered the palace, I have become the emperor’s woman. However, the emperor has left us in the Western Palace and even forbidden us from approaching you. Could this be the so-called grace of the emperor? . ”
Huyan Mingshuo stared at her as if he was going to stare her out of a hole. This damn woman actually dared to openly claim that she was his woman. She didn’t even look at what she was doing, and she was also worthy to be his woman?
However, this person in front of him was indeed different from the previous ones. In the past, all the women were trembling when facing him, but this person was able to say these words without changing her expression. It was enough to show that she was also courageous and knowledgeable. Right now, he was also irritated and did not have the mood to review the memorials. Fortunately, he would play with her.
So he moved his gaze away from her and said carelessly, “Since that’s the case, then tell me what you came to see me for without permission.”
“What else can I do? As the emperor’s concubine, I’m here to spend a good night with you.” As she spoke, she revealed a crafty smile as she stared at Huyan Mingshuo. She wanted to see how Huyan Mingshuo would respond.
Huyan Mingshuo’s mood instantly improved because of her smile. Just now, he was wondering how this person managed to avoid Lei Yu and Little Yizi and actually walked in silently. Now, he understood that there was only one person who could laugh so much and let Little Yizi and Lei Yu go voluntarily.
So the corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile and he asked, “Oh? Is that so? Why don’t you tell yourself what your specialties are and see if you’re worthy of spending a good night with me in grievance?”
As he spoke, he stood up from his chair and came to Fu Yingran. He looked down at her condescendingly. At this moment, he was even more certain of his conjecture, because no one could imitate the unique smell on her body.
Seeing the smile on his lips, Fu Yingran knew that her identity had been exposed, so she was too lazy to pretend anymore. However, she said naughtily, “This concubine, Fu Yingran, is my father the regent of the Great Wei Kingdom. As for his specialty? Does eating and sleeping count? Other than that, this concubine doesn’t know anything about it. I wonder if the Emperor is willing or not?”
Huyan Mingshuo stretched out his hand and lightly tapped on her head, “Naughty, you just ran over with this face, afraid that I wouldn’t recognize you for a moment and treat you like those women?”
Fu Yingran glanced at him and said, “What does that matter? My son will avenge me when the time comes.”
As he spoke, Fu Yingran’s entire body stuck to his body. However, Huyan Mingshuo said with a disgusted expression, “You’re so ugly. Hurry up and wash up. I still like to see your original appearance. Holding on to this face, I feel disgusted.”
Although Huyan Mingshuo said this, both of his hands held Fu Yingran in his arms and buried his head on her shoulder. He greedily breathed in the unique smell of her body, which could calm his irritated heart.
