Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Promise And Kiss
‘”How do you know that you are a concubine this time? The Ai Clan heard that this Crown Prince Shuo came to Great Wei to get married this time. He married a wife of his own. Moreover, not only does this Crown Prince Shuo not have a concubine, he does not even have a concubine. He is also the two servant girls that Empress Ye Lan gave him in his early years.”

The Empress Dowager felt that this Crown Prince Shuo was not bad. After all, with Ying Ran’s status in the Great Wei Kingdom, it was inappropriate to marry anyone.

“Anyway, I don’t care. I just don’t want to get married. I don’t want to be locked up in the courtyard and compete with many women for a man. If someone else uses it, I’ll use it again. It’s disgusting to think about it. Besides, the foreign princess can’t be the future prince. In the future, when the Crown Prince of New Zealand ascends the throne, I’ll still be young.” Ying Ran meant that the person who said it was unintentional, but the Empress Dowager listened to his intentions.

That’s right. I’ve been locked up in the same courtyard all my life and robbed a man from many daughters. I knew that this man was lying on someone else’s belly last night, but tonight, he talked to me. Even if I had to smile and accept him, doesn’t that mean that she is her? So what if you live a glorious life? Living was also very sad. Perhaps it would be good if Ying Ran did not marry, so that they would no longer have to repeat their lives.

At this moment, Huyan Mingshuo, who was squatting on the roof, finally understood that Fu Yingran wasn’t unwilling to marry him. In fact, she was afraid of marrying everyone, didn’t want to be locked up in the courtyard, didn’t want to rob other women of men, didn’t want to be small with others, and perhaps she could give this to her.

When Huyan Mingshuo heard this, he quietly left. Inside the room, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to persuade Fu Yingran, “My son, how can the Emperor’s Aunt bear to let you marry far away from another country? How can she let you repeat the days that I and your mother lived? It’s not easy for a royal woman to do that.” As the Empress Dowager spoke, she shed tears, while Fu Yingran only watched and listened quietly.

“But Ying Ran, Your royal uncle gave you too much glory back then, Plus, your father and elder brother have heavy armies in their hands, It’s destined that you won’t be able to live like any other princess, Your identity is destined to be awkward, If you want to choose a profession in the Great Wei Kingdom, Those with higher status than you are all your fellow sect elder brothers, Not suitable for marriage, “As for those who are inferior to you, they are all approaching you with a purpose in mind. Therefore, the best way out is to marry far away from other countries. If you say something wrong, it can be considered as earning a way out for your father and brother. After all, your power is too great. No matter who is the emperor, you must guard against it. Only when you are far away from the Great Wei Kingdom will the emperor stop suspecting Duanduan’s palace.”

The Empress Dowager’s words could be said to be heartbreaking. She had used both coercion and temptation. After all, they were all women. Only women could understand a woman’s sufferings.

“I see. I need to think about it carefully.” Yes, I have to think about it carefully. The Empress Dowager is right. It can be said that the Empress Dowager has spoken the truth today. Her identity is indeed awkward. As a princess, she has too much power. Although she has enjoyed the treatment of a princess, she is not a princess. A daughter’s family is always wearing a jade pendant that is similar to mine. It is already abnormal.

“En, think carefully. The banquet in Chengde Palace is about to begin. Let’s go over. I have to see if this Crown Prince Shuo is worthy of our Ying Ran.” The Empress Dowager pulled Ying Ran up and walked out.

Ying Ran followed the Empress Dowager to Chengde Hall. At this time, the Emperor had already arrived. Ying Ran rolled her eyes at the Emperor and said unhurriedly, “Long live the Emperor.” Without waiting for the Emperor to say anything, he got up and sat down in his seat. The Emperor glanced at her without saying anything.

Everyone stood up to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and then took their seats. This welcoming banquet was just for food, drinks, singing and dancing. The daughters of the ministers were all giving gifts to Huyan Mingshuo. All of them secretly gave Huyan Mingshuo glances, but Ying Ran ignored them. She was thinking about her own matters.

On the way back, he was speechless. When he arrived at the imperial daughter’s mansion, Ying Ran called out to Prince Shuo, “Prince Shuo, please stay.” After pausing for a moment, Ying Ran said, “This imperial daughter is not someone who can beat around the bush. I have something to say.”

Huyan Mingshuo roughly knew what she was going to say. There was nothing he could do about it. This girl had already written her thoughts on her face.

Ying Ran looked at Huyan Mingshuo with an expression of resignation. “I went to Shoukang Palace to see the Empress Dowager just now. She told me that the Emperor really wanted me to marry you. The Empress Dowager also said that marrying another country far away is the best choice for me. Right now, I just want to know what Prince Shuo thinks.”

Hearing Fu Yingran’s words, Huyan Mingshuo said in his heart, “If the person you are with is you, this Crown Prince does not object.”

‘”But I have a passion for cleanliness, and I can’t accept sharing a husband with someone else. The thought of you touching me with the hand of another woman makes me extremely disgusting.” Ying Ran felt that there were some things that needed to be explained in advance.

“I will try my best to accomplish this. You know my identity, just like you. There are many things that I can’t help but do.” He really wanted to agree, but his status didn’t allow him to do so.

“Alright then. Please don’t have other women at the same time when you’re with me. When you’re going to marry another woman, tell me that I will leave. This imperial daughter will not accept any feelings.” This was her last concession. There would definitely be no next time. Fu Yingran wanted to let the birds fly and not be manipulated again.

“Alright, I promise you, if you want to stay, you will always be the Crown Princess. If you don’t like staying by my side, you can leave if you want.” This was the only promise he could afford.

“Alright, then let’s do that. Rest early. You still have a lot of things to do next. I’m not a little girl who can participate in the negotiation of state affairs.” Tomorrow, Master will arrive in the capital. I have to accompany him so that I won’t be bothered with the affairs of the country. Does that have anything to do with her?

“Alright, then you should rest early.” Since she had already agreed to kiss him, there was no need for the Crown Prince to call her.

Before dawn, Cui’er came in to make noise again. She opened Fu Yingran’s bed net and shouted, “Princess, you’re late again. Villa Master Duanmu will enter the capital today. Didn’t you say you were going to meet him at the city gate? If you don’t get up now, you can only go to Prince Jing’s Manor to see Villa Master Duanmu.” Listening to Cui Er’s chirping voice, it was rare for Fu Yingran not to curse angrily today, and he got up very straightforwardly.

After packing up, he instructed Chun Tao and the other maids to serve Prince Shuo well. Fu Yingran had just arranged for someone to serve breakfast when Huyan Mingshuo also entered the main hall.

“Good morning, Crown Prince Shuo. I’ve already instructed the maidservant to bring breakfast. Please wait a moment.” She pretended to be relaxed and greeted him, “Good morning, Prince Shuo. I have already instructed the maidservant to bring breakfast.” Ying Ran’s heart was also uneasy. After he told Huyan Mingshuo about it last night, his mood towards Huyan Mingshuo changed.

“Mm, you are also early. In the future, you should stop calling me the Crown Prince. Just call me by my name. Everyone, just be at ease.” Crown Prince Shuo sat on the throne without any embarrassment.

Not long after, Jin’er Cui’er brought breakfast. After the two of them had used it together, Crown Prince Shuo was going to go into the palace to discuss national affairs with the Emperor. Originally, he wanted to contact Prince Duan, but Prince Duan ignored him. Now, the Emperor could only negotiate with him personally.

Ying Ran directly left the manor and went to the city gate to wait for Duanmu Yuan. The servant had already reported yesterday that Duanmu Yuan would enter the capital around noon today. She rushed over now and was just about to rest and wait for her master.

Thus, Fu Yingran came to the city gate early and found a tea shed to sit down. He ordered a pot of tea and sat down to drink while waiting for Duanmu Yuan.

About half an hour later, Duanmu Yuan rode his horse and brought two guards into the capital. Ying Ran saw them from afar, so he quickly stood up and floated in front of Duanmu Yuan’s horse. He opened his hands to block the road, so frightened that Duanmu Yuan quickly pulled back the reins and got off his horse.

After seeing the person coming, he immediately taught her a lesson, “You little girl, you don’t want to die, are you hurt? Why are you here?” Duanmu Yuan was also so frightened that cold sweat broke out. Seeing this girl waiting for him here, his heart was very gratified, but his mouth was full of merciless lessons.

Gu Ling said strangely, “This road was opened by me, and this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass from here on, you have to stay and buy Lu Cai. Villa Master Duanmu, the little girl has been waiting here for a long time. If you have anything valuable, hand it over quickly.”

After Duanmu Yuan heard this, he smiled and said, “Ghosts and spirits, let’s go. Let’s go to Prince Jing’s Mansion first and see your uneasy senior brother.” Duanmu Yuan and Duanmu Jing were all sorts of eliminations.
