Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Live in Imperial Daughter’s Mansion
Crown Prince Shuo turned to look at her. She thought to herself, this imperial daughter still had some brains, Not only did this arrangement succeed in separating his personal guards from him, it was also placed right in front of Prince Duan’s Mansion. Even if he wanted to make a small move, it would be difficult for him. Furthermore, you can’t say that she was reasonable. After all, Princess Jing Xian’s Mansion is indeed not a place where his personal guards can live.

Unfortunately, she was the imperial daughter of another country, However, judging from the Great Wei Emperor’s arrangement, he probably intended for Princess Jing Xian to marry her. If it was a woman like her, it wasn’t impossible to marry her back. Thinking like this, he was much more lenient towards Ying Ran. Thus, he nodded to the personal guards, expressing his agreement, asking them to obey Fu Ying Ran’s arrangement, while he walked inside.

“Yes, Imperial Daughter, this servant will bring them over now.” Chen Hu was the oldest of the four servants of the imperial daughter’s mansion, so it was the most suitable for him to go. Thus, Chen Hu led the Crown Prince Shuo’s personal guards to Duan Prince’s mansion.

After Chen Hu left, Fu Yingran also followed him into the manor. When she walked into the main hall, she saw Huyan Mingshuo carelessly sitting in the main seat. He had the posture of a master, causing Fu Yingran to find it unsightly. However, when she remembered the Emperor’s instructions, she could only silently order Cui’er to serve tea. She sat opposite him and looked at him blankly, “Your Highness, do you have something to say to me?” Ying Ran asked why he had only entered the capital publicly that day when Shi Yun had clearly come to see him. Was there a conspiracy in this?

“This palace has nothing to say. Princess Jingxian, may I ask where this palace’s room is? This palace is tired and wants to rest.” He really didn’t know what to say. His horse was faster and arrived a few days earlier than the rest of the team. On that day, he was just bored and went out for a meal.

“So it is, “Ying Ran doesn’t want to ask any more questions. I just want to remind His Highness that I am the imperial daughter of the Great Wei Kingdom after all. Please follow the principle of peace. Ying Ran can’t be excited. As long as it doesn’t endanger our country, Ying Ran is not a talkative person. On the contrary, if you and I become hostile one day, I swear that I will make you regret knowing me.” She meant to tell him that as long as she didn’t harm the country of the Dao Great Wei, she would keep it a secret for him.

“Then thank you. Imperial Daughter, please rest assured. This Crown Prince has no intention of making an enemy of you. Imperial Daughter should find someone to bring me back to my room to rest.” Although he did nothing, sneaking into another country is always easy to cause misunderstandings. Although their Yelan Kingdom is brave and skilled in battle, there is a shortage of grain in the country. They will not start a war unless they have no other choice.

“Let’s go. This imperial daughter will personally bring you there. You live in my main courtyard, but the Emperor chased me to the side courtyard.” After saying that, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his face was filled with unwillingness.

Huyan Mingshuo suppressed his laughter and stood up to follow her. When he walked in, Huyan Mingshuo couldn’t help but think in his heart, ‘Isn’t this imperial daughter’s mansion too small? There are only about ten rooms. Fortunately, it’s quite exquisite. No wonder she wanted to complain so much.’

After Ying Ran brought Crown Prince Shuo into the main courtyard, she went to the side courtyard to rest. After all, she was going to enter the palace later.

He was speechless for a moment. When he reached Shen Shi, Ying Ran opened the door from the side courtyard and waited in the main hall. Not long after, Huyan Mingshuo also walked in. At this time, there were two personal guards by his side.

Seeing this, Ying Ran felt hot-headed for a moment. He didn’t know which muscle was wrong, but he actually asked him awkwardly, “Uh … which, Prince Shuo, do you want me to find two personal maids for you?” There was nothing she could do. The Emperor had repeatedly instructed her to properly entertain the Crown Prince of Ye Lan. She didn’t dare to disobey.

Huyan Mingshuo gave her a complicated look. Didn’t he say that the women of the Great Wei Kingdom were very reserved? Why is Princess Jingxian so direct?

Hence, Huyan Mingshuo replied with a face full of displeasure, “No need.” Even though Mother had arranged for two personal maids to warm his bed when he was 14 years old, because he was a bit of a cleaner and didn’t like other people to touch him, the two women were still girls, which meant that Huyan Mingshuo didn’t need a maidservant.

‘”Oh, that’s good. Otherwise, I don’t know where to find a woman for you. Do you think our emperor can’t take it easy?” “Let me, a little girl, receive a prince of yours, and give orders repeatedly to me to treat you well. What if I accidentally fail to take care of you and make you angry? Do you think he can’t take it easy?”

Ying Ran’s grudge against the Emperor grew deeper and deeper. She finally understood why the Emperor was so anxious to give the decree that day. So it was because she was afraid that she would go back on her word.

Crown Prince Shuo glanced at her. He had been studying in various countries since he was young and had stayed in the Great Wei Kingdom for a few years, so he could understand Ying Ran’s words. Thus, he kindly reminded her, “Your Emperor might have his plans. Didn’t he tell you that there is another matter for this Crown Prince to come to the Great Wei Kingdom?”

He didn’t know what her expression would be if he told her that the Great Wei Emperor might let her marry him. He really wanted to see it, so he decided to tell her.

“Oh, then may I ask Your Highness the Crown Prince, what other conspiracies do you have when you come to the Great Wei Kingdom?” Ying Ran was immersed in his own thoughts, so he casually asked, but only heard Crown Prince Shuo say the word “kiss”.

Ying Ran was immediately struck by lightning. Didn’t she just leave the tiger’s mouth and enter the wolf nest? Duanmu Jing was just a prince, and he had a bunch of concubines. Huyan Mingshuo was the crown prince of a country, so wouldn’t the women in his family be counted according to their numbers?

“Uh … Well, Crown Prince Shuo, I’m a crafty and willful little girl. I’m lazy and rich. I’m stingy and jealous. I’m really not suited to your status.” Ying Ran wanted to cry without tears. I only hope that Crown Prince Shuo doesn’t like her.

Ying Ran didn’t care anymore. She wanted to hurry into the palace and settle accounts with the Emperor, but she actually dared to plot against her. Thus, she waved her hand at Cui Er Jin’er and instructed, “You two hurry up and prepare the carriage. This county is mainly going into the palace.”

Huyan Mingshuo didn’t say anything. He just watched her quietly and followed her out of the imperial daughter’s mansion. He rolled his horse and went to the palace with a blank expression. Looking at the carriage behind him, he didn’t understand. Wouldn’t it be good to marry him? The other women wanted to marry her in their dreams. Why was Princess Jingxian so unwilling? Didn’t she also like herself the last time she was in the food store? He even wrote a poem in front of him.

As soon as the group of people arrived at the palace, the guards at the gate saw Fu Yingran as if they didn’t see him. They allowed her to enter and exit at will. Prince Shuo removed his sword and followed him into the palace. He followed Fu Yingran all the way and then met him. He wanted to see what she was going to do.

In the afternoon, he ordered his guards to go out and inquire about Fu Yingran. He thought that since the Great Wei Emperor wanted her to marry him, she might be his wife in the future, so it was necessary to inquire. Therefore, Crown Prince Shuo knew now, Fu Yingran was a special existence in the Great Wei Empire, He also knew how she had dealt with Prince Jing and the others’ schemes. To be honest, he also felt that such a woman who dared to fight against fate was very suitable to be the future queen of Ye Lan because Ye Lan’s territory was barren, and she needed to have the spirit to fight against the heavens in order to survive among nations.

Huyan Mingshuo thought about things along the way. Very quickly, they arrived at the Chengde Palace where the Emperor hosted the banquet. Fu Yingran did not sit down. Instead, she brought Prince Shuo to the Shoukang Palace. As soon as she entered, she chirped, “Aunt Huyan, do you want to control your son or not? He is scheming against me again.”

Hearing Fu Yingran’s words, the Empress Dowager asked with a pampered expression, “Oh? Tell me, what did he do to you? Tell Auntie Huang, Auntie Huang will take care of him for you.” The Empress Dowager missed this feeling very much. This girl had complained like this since she was young.

“Auntie Huang, let me tell you something. Brother Qi will definitely not be able to see me well. I told you, he would kindly cancel the engagement for me. So he sold me for a good price. Last time, he was a flat wife for Prince Jing. This time, he might be a concubine for Huyan Mingshuo. You should just say that you don’t care, right? If you don’t care, I’ll settle the score with him myself.
