Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Crown Prince Shuo To
The Emperor and Empress Dowager went back after dinner. Before they left, they only reminded Ying Ran to properly receive Prince Yelan. “Ying Ran, you can go to the Internal Affairs Office to collect whatever you need. Prince Yelan, you must not neglect it.” After saying that, he drove back to the palace.

Afterwards, Fu Tianchen and the other two brothers also got up and went back to the manor. Seeing the Emperor’s intention, they were afraid that Ying Ran would have to go and kiss them again. They had to quickly send someone to deliver a letter to their father and see what they could do.

Two days passed quickly, Today was the day that Crown Prince Yelan entered the capital. She was going to greet him at the city gate in the morning and the Emperor was hosting a banquet in the evening. At this time, Ying Ran was almost decorated in the imperial daughter’s mansion. According to the Emperor, this Crown Prince Yelan was going to live in the imperial daughter’s mansion. The beautiful name was, “The relay station is too shabby itself. It’s not suitable for a country’s prince, or the imperial daughter’s mansion.”

So this morning, Ying Ran was dug up from her bed very early. Then, Cui’er chirped, “Princess, the Crown Prince of Ye Lan came to the capital today. The Emperor said that you would also go to the city gate to welcome him. What do you see through?”

“It’s fine just to dress casually. It’s not like we’re going on a blind date. So is the Emperor. Don’t you know that your daughter’s family can’t show up in public? You even asked me to receive the Crown Prince of a country. Don’t tell me there’s no one else in the Great Wei Kingdom?” Ying Ran complained angrily.

However, after complaining, she still dressed up obediently and took Jin’er Cui’er out to the city gate. When they arrived at the city gate, the civil and military officials had already arrived and were waiting for her. She was representing the royal family today.

When everyone saw Ying Ran coming over, they all went forward and bowed, “Greetings, Princess Jing Xian.”

Fu Yingran only raised his hand slightly and said, “Stand up. My lords, it’s been hard work.”

Everyone quickly smiled and replied, “Princess Xie, this is my duty. I don’t dare to work hard.” I’m joking. The Sun Family’s fate is still vivid in my mind. Princess Jing Xian is not an ordinary person, so I can’t offend her easily.

Ying Ran looked at the snowy sky and slowly asked, “Where is the Crown Prince of Ye Lan? When did he enter the city? Does anyone know?” It’s snowing so heavily. If she doesn’t come, she’ll be frozen into a popsicle. It’s New Year’s Eve in a few days. It’s snowy and windy. I don’t know what the Crown Prince of Ye Lan thinks, but can’t she wait until spring arrives?

“Princess, the Crown Prince of Ye Lan is still five miles away from the city. One incense stick should be enough to enter the city in the future.” Lord Right Prime Minister hurriedly replied. The right prime minister was King Ling’s father-in-law. This person was cautious and had a sense of duty. He was very popular with the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, the Emperor would not have ordered Fu Zitao to adopt him.

“Yes, I see. It’s snowy and windy. Everyone, find a shelter to rest in.” Then she hid herself in the carriage.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other. This imperial daughter was too casual. However, this was also what everyone thought. Thus, everyone found a place to hide.

After an incense stick of time, Ying Ran got out of the carriage. The ministers also walked out of the shelter. Just as they formed a formation according to the size of the official position, they saw dust flying in the distance. The large group of people pressed towards them. It was indeed the race on horseback. It was truly magnificent.

Suddenly, a sentinel reported, “Report to the imperial daughter, His Highness the Crown Prince of Ye Lan has arrived.”

“Alright, I know. You can go down.” Ying Ran adjusted his appearance and walked to the front. He instructed, “Qi Le,” and music sounded from both sides.

Ying Ran looked at the team getting closer and closer. In fact, she was very envious. Being able to ride a horse at will made her yearn for freedom.

After a while, the team finally stopped. The person in front of the team was majestic and fluttering like an immortal. However, Ying Ran always felt that he looked familiar. He should have seen him somewhere before. It was just that he couldn’t remember for a moment. Forget about him. It would be good to know that he was Ye Lan’s Crown Prince anyway.

“I am the Crown Prince of the Lower Yelan Kingdom, Huyan Mingshuo. May I ask who is on the other side?” Crown Prince Shuo was unhappy. This Great Wei Kingdom only sent a little girl to receive her. Isn’t she looking down on Yelan Kingdom too much? The national credentials clearly said that he wanted to personally receive Prince Duan.

“Greetings, Your Royal Highness. The little girl is Prince Duan’s daughter, Fu Yingran. She is called Princess Jingxian. Your Royal Highness has come all the way here. It has been a hard journey. It is better to settle down in the first city and rest. Our Emperor will host a banquet in Chengde Hall later to welcome His Royal Highness.” Ying Ran reported to his family and informed the Crown Prince of Shuo’s next arrangements.

At this moment, Prince Shuo looked at her seriously. With a single glance, he knew that this was the woman he saw that day upstairs at the food delivery station. He didn’t expect that she was Prince Duan’s daughter. Interesting. His tone softened a lot as he said, “Yes, it’s all up to the imperial daughter to arrange it.”

The corners of Fu Yingran’s mouth curled slightly as he thought to himself, “It’s still the same as cherishing words like gold. I don’t want to say a word more.” Wait, she seemed to have remembered. She cherished words like gold. She brought food to the restaurant. In Mongolian, Ying Ran patted her brain and stared at Huyan Mingshuo with wide eyes.

Crown Prince Shuo’s lips curved upwards as he gave her a meaningful look. It was as if he was mocking her as well as warning her. After all, his whereabouts at that time could not be revealed.

Ying Ran wasn’t stupid either, Naturally, he knew that these great figures had some indescribable secrets. As long as she didn’t harm the country, she didn’t want to interfere. Thus, she said politely, “According to the letter, my father was supposed to receive him personally. However, my grandmother was seriously ill. My father followed my mother to visit her. When she wasn’t in the capital, the Emperor ordered Ying Ran to treat the Crown Prince well. I hope that His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn’t take offense.” Ying Ran explained why she was here to receive him.

“Mm, no problem. I’d better take this Crown Prince to the relay station first and rest for a while before I can meet your Emperor.” Huyan Mingshuo was also tired. In order to enter the city with the team, he rushed 30 miles away before dawn to meet up with the team. After that, he walked another 30 miles into the city. He wanted to rest now.

“Alright, then please follow me, Your Highness. Our Emperor said that the relay station is too shabby and unsuitable for Your Highness. Thus, we arranged your residence in Princess Jingxian’s Mansion.”

The more Ying Ran spoke, the angrier she became. Just say it, living in the imperial daughter’s mansion was fine. Why did she have to give up the main courtyard? Thinking about it, her expression was not right, and the corner of her mouth was also pulled down.

Huyan Mingshuo only felt that it was funny when he saw her like this and didn’t expose her, so he replied, “Then I’ll have to trouble Imperial Daughter. Imperial Daughter, please get in front of the car and leave first. This Palace will follow you later.”

“Alright then, little girl will take the lead. Your Highness the Crown Prince, follow closely.” You can’t blame her for losing her.

Ying Ran then turned to the Minister of Civil Affairs and Martial Arts behind him and said, “My lords, it’s hard work. Please go back to the manor and rest for a while. The Emperor will welcome Crown Prince Shuo in Chengde Palace later. Please don’t miss the hour.”

“Yes, Princess.” The crowd dispersed as they said this. They went back to their respective mansions. It seemed that their hopes had been wasted. Originally, they had thought that their daughter might be chosen to be married to Princess Jing Xian. But now, it seemed that the target of their marriage should be Princess Jing Xian. Which family could compete with her?

Ying Ran ignored all of this. He jumped into the carriage and walked ahead. Crown Prince Shuo rode his horse and followed behind, heading towards the imperial daughter’s mansion. The citizens of the city stood on both sides and watched. The men of Ye Lan were all heroes on horseback. They were all majestic and majestic. The girls’ hearts pounded when they saw them, especially the Crown Prince at the front. A single glance at him made them feel like they were blaspheming him.

Prince Shuo and the others entered the city from the north gate. The imperial daughter’s mansion was not far from the west of the city, so everyone quickly arrived at the imperial daughter’s mansion. They stopped the carriage in front of the imperial daughter’s mansion. Fu Yingran got off the carriage and waited for Huyan Mingshuo at the entrance.

Huyan Mingshuo did not follow closely. He was about twenty steps away from her, so he would not lose her. He would not appear too rude. When he arrived at the door, Huyan Mingshuo stopped his horse, turned around and dismounted. He walked to Ying Ran and said, “Thank you, Princess.” As he spoke, he walked inside on his own.

Ying Ran was depressed. Whose family was it? Was there any mistake, but she was depressed. She had no choice but to let him be the Crown Prince.

After entering the mansion, Fu Yingran remembered that before Prince Shuo’s guards could be arranged, he had already instructed Chen Hu, “Chen Hu, bring Prince Shuo’s guards to the Prince Duan’s mansion to find my second brother and ask him to arrange for them to be in the camp of his personal guards to reimburse the Emperor for their expenses.”
