Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Bid Farewell to One’s Family
After Fu Yingran heard this, He looked at Huyan Mingshuo silently, Because she could understand those words, the others in Prince Duan’s Mansion did not. She did not intend to say more. In any case, it was necessary to be close to each other. It only increased the worries of the father and brothers. At worst, she could be a couple with Huyan Mingshuo in the future. Therefore, she only gave him a faint glance. It was very faint.

Huyan Mingshuo was also unable to explain. This was the truth, so he could not argue, so he could only remain silent.

Seeing that the matter had already come to an end, Ying Ran simply told her father and brother what had happened and left the dungeon with them, leaving Crown Prince Shuo to handle the matter himself. After all, this was their own business in Ye Lan.

Ying Ran returned to his bedroom and lay quietly on the bed, wondering if there wasn’t a single person in the ancient times who was wholehearted? It seemed that she was destined to be alone. She smiled bitterly and rolled over to sleep.

Just as he entered Morrow, Fu Tianchen sent someone to urge him. Last night, Prince Shuo had already left Duanwang Manor for the relay station with the assassins from Yelan overnight. He still had to go to the palace to hold a wedding ceremony today, and then he was going back to Yelan Country. There were some things that needed to be prepared beforehand.

Ying Ran stayed in bed and didn’t remember. This was the last time she slept in this bed. In addition to listening to the assassin’s words last night, Ying Ran was at a loss for the future. Was she going to Ye Lan to serve with someone else? This was something she couldn’t accept, so she didn’t want to see Huyan Mingshuo right now.

But no matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to get up, pack up and take Jin’er Cui’er out, follow Fu Tianchen into the palace, and the marriage was a matter of country and country, so she could not be willful.

When Ying Ran packed up and arrived at the front hall, everyone was present. Prince Duan and Princess Duan, Duanmu Yuan and Madam Duan, two direct brothers and a foster brother were all present. Ying Ran’s eyes unconsciously turned red, and he walked forward to pay his farewell goodbyes.

Prince Duan and Duanmu Yuan’s husband and wife sat on their seats. Ying Ran retreated and knelt on the ground, saying, “Father, mother, foster father, mother, daughter are unfilial. From now on, they can’t enjoy themselves under their knees and serve the four elders. If they leave today, they may not be able to do so for the rest of their lives. I hope that the four elders will take care of themselves.” After saying that, he bowed deeply.

The two fathers are fine, but their eyes are slightly red. The two mothers are already sobbing slightly. They quickly pull Ying Ran up and say, “From now on, you are far away in another country by yourself. You must take care of yourself. In the future, you must take good care of Crown Prince Shuo and serve the Emperor and Empress of Ye Lan. Don’t miss us. After all, Great Wei still has a few of your brothers.”

“Yes, obey mother’s orders.” Every daughter marries, and the mother tells her the same thing. The purpose is to teach her daughter to be virtuous and virtuous in her husband’s family, and to win the husband’s love and the care of her parents-in-law. This is already an unwritten rule.

After the two mothers finished speaking, they returned to their seats and silently shed tears. Especially Madam Duanmu. After spending ten years together, the reluctance in her heart was heavier than Duanmu Jing’s. In addition, she only had one son and no daughter. Now, she actually felt the bitterness of marrying her daughter.

Ying Ran couldn’t bear to see her mothers’ tears anymore and bowed to her two brothers. “In the future, I’ll have to trouble your two brothers to serve Ying Ran’s parents. Ying Ran is very grateful.”

Fu Tianchen and the other two brothers helped Ying Ran up and said, “Sister, please rest assured. With your brothers here, you will definitely be able to protect your father, mother, and imperial concubine.”

Ying Ran nodded and replied, “Thank you, Big Brother and Second Brother.”

Ying Ran also said to Duanmu Jing, “Foster brother, foster father and foster mother still hope that foster brother will be more concerned. In the future, you must not be too blind in making friends with others. You must discuss more with foster father and foster mother.”

“Alright, I see. You should take care of yourself.” Prince Jing felt bitter in his heart. Because of his greed, he had never thought that he would get such a result. He was also responsible for marrying Ying Ran far away.

Therefore, he decided that he would send Ying Ran to the Nightcrypt Nation safely by petition and personally send him to the Nightcrypt Nation.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Ying Ran followed Fu Tianchen out of Prince Duan’s Mansion and stood at the door. Ying Ran turned around to look at his own home. It was filled with his own relatives. From now on, he could only dream about it. Ying Ran wiped his tears and turned around to say, “Let’s go, Second Brother.” She strode towards the carriage and left Prince Duan’s mansion.

Holding the bridal clothes that the two mothers had just made in their hands, they boarded the carriage without turning back.

Fu Tianchen took the horse and walked in front. It was not dawn yet, and there were only a few early-risen vendors and a handful of watchmen on the streets. The carriage sped all the way to the palace. Because they still had a lot of work to do, they had to move forward at dawn.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the palace gate was tightly closed. Ying Ran took out the token and handed it to Fu Tianchen. Fu Tianchen took it and handed it to the guard. After that, the guard hurriedly opened the palace gate and let the Ying Ran siblings enter the palace.

After entering the palace, Ying Ran went straight to Shoukang Palace, while Fu Tianchen went to the Hall of Diligence. At this time, the Empress Dowager had already stood up and was waiting for her. Seeing her enter, she hurriedly asked, “I heard that you met an assassin last night. Did you get hurt? Did you find out who did it?” The Empress Dowager was shocked when she heard that Ying Ran was assassinated last night. Yu Gongyu was worried about the private empress dowager.

Yu Gong, Ying Ran is going to hold a wedding ceremony with the Crown Prince of Ye Lan today. You can’t get hurt. It’s selfish. Ying Ran is her favorite niece, and she can’t bear to get hurt.

“Reporting to the Emperor’s Aunt, Ying Ran is fine. We have already found out that those assassins are from Ye Lan. They have already been handed over to Prince Shuo.” Ying Ran did not intend to tell her the reason why the assassin had assassinated her, because this did not change anything. Whether she was willing or not, she had to leave the Great Wei Imperial Palace for Ye Lan today.

“It’s good that you’re fine. It’s getting late now. Hurry up and change into your wedding clothes and go to the temple. After all, you’re a direct descendant of the royal family. You should go and worship your ancestors before you leave.” The Empress Dowager suppressed her reluctance and choked.

Ying Ran said “Yes” and went to the inner hall to change into a bridal dress. She dressed up as a bride and helped the Empress Dowager to the temple.

Upon arriving at the temple, Ying Ran saw the ranking of the emperors of the Great Wei Kingdom. He knelt down and bowed three times, then stood up and left silently. The Empress Dowager walked in front of Ying Ran and remained silent.

After Ying Ran finished paying his respects to his ancestors, he would go to the Hall of Diligence to receive the seal and then leave the palace with Crown Prince Shuo. As for the Empress Dowager, because she could not stand the scene of life and death, she directly returned to Shoukang Palace.

Before the Empress Dowager left, Fu Yingran gave her a big bow and said, “Ying Ran thanks Auntie Huang for her love for many years. Ying Ran will leave today and will never be able to do so again. I hope Auntie Huang Huang will take care of her and bid her farewell.” After saying that, Ying Ran bowed, then stood up and was led to the Hall of Diligence by the palace maid.

The Empress Dowager watched Ying Ran leave and wiped her tears as she turned around and left silently.

In the Hall of Diligence, lanterns were decorated with rainbow colors. The civil and military ministers and the Ye Lan envoy were all waiting for Ying Ran to arrive. Huyan Mingshuo was dressed in a bright red robe and was also waiting in the hall.

Ying Ran walked into the Hall of Diligence and saw the Emperor sitting high in the dragon chair. He did not get angry and was very presumptuous. Ying Ran took a few steps and knelt in the middle of the hall, saying, “I, Fu Yingran, pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the emperor.” Ying Ran bowed honestly.

The emperor waved his hand and ordered Li Gong to be fair, “Little Li, announce the decree.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

After that, Eunuch Li held the imperial edict in his hand and solemnly read, “Feng Tian Cheng Yun, the Emperor decreed that Princess Jing Xian Fu Ying Ran would become the eldest princess of Jing Xian, bestow the title of the eldest princess of Jing Xian, and the prince of Ye Lan Kingdom, Huyan Mingshuo. After the ceremony, he immediately left for home with Prince Shuo.”

“Thank you, my daughter. Long live! Long live!” Ying Ran raised his hands above his head and received the imperial edict.

“Royal Sister, please stand up. The wedding ceremony has already been prepared. When you and Crown Prince Shuo pay respects to the heavens and earth, you can leave the palace. I hope Royal Sister will take care of you all the way.” The Emperor stepped down from the dragon chair to help Ying Ran up. He loved and hated this royal sister. When he was young, he was often accused by her of blackmail and punished by Mother for this.

“Thank you, Royal Brother. Ying Ran will save it.” Ying Ran stood up and walked towards Huyan Mingshuo. He stood side by side with him. Then, he saw a courtesy official step out and go to the center of the hall. He knelt down and reported, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the wedding ceremony must be ready. It can start at any time.”

“Yes, I see. Crown Prince Shuo, Eldest Princess Jingxian, and the wedding ceremony are ready, but from now on?” This was the Crown Prince and the First Eldest Princess of a country. The Emperor did not dare to be too tough, so he could only ask in a negotiating tone.

Ying Ran also knew that he couldn’t delay any longer, so he colored Huyan Mingshuo, and then he heard Huyan Mingshuo say, “Let’s begin.”
