Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Father and Daughter Enter the Palace
“Imperial Daughter, let’s go back. It’s cold at the end of this year. Be careful not to catch a cold.” Cui’er saw her imperial daughter in a daze in the snow, so she reminded him.

“Alright, hurry up and go back. It’s really cold.” After leaving the Peony Garden, Ying Ran thought about the marriage and how to deal with it when he entered the palace tomorrow.

“Cui’er, how long have you been following me?” Ying Ran suddenly asked.

“If you answer the imperial daughter’s question, this servant has served the imperial daughter since the imperial daughter returned to the manor. It has been almost half a year.” Cui’er was chosen by Duanqin Princess to serve Ying Ran after she returned to the manor.

Ying Ran was born in June. She was fifteen years old this year. In ancient times, she had already reached the age of fifteen. This meant that a woman had reached adulthood. It could be said that when she was related, wealthy families would attach great importance to her. They would also invite friends and relatives to attend the ceremony. Therefore, Ying Ran was taken back to Prince Duan’s Mansion at the end of May this year.

“Oh, have you seen the token given to me by the previous emperor? I can’t remember many things since I woke up.” I wonder if this little maidservant knows.

“I’ve seen it before. Didn’t the imperial daughter always carry it with her? It’s the jade pendant hanging around your neck.” Cui’er was puzzled. Why would the imperial daughter ask such a question?

Ying Ran was also embarrassed when he heard this. He coughed softly and said unnaturally, “Father and I are going to enter the palace tomorrow. Prepare yourself. Follow me into the palace tomorrow.” I should also cultivate a few useful talents. Let’s start with Cui’er. Trust is mutual. I will treat each other sincerely. It depends on this girl’s performance. It doesn’t matter if she is trusted to protect her for the rest of her life. If she is truly not trusted, then I will beg for more blessings. .

However, Cui Er did not know what Fu Yingran was thinking. She was only focused on doing what the maidservant had to do, He respectfully replied, “Yes, Imperial Daughter.” Then, she followed Ying Ran back to Orchid Garden. Ying Ran’s boudoir was the most elegant orchid garden in Duanqin Prince’s Mansion. Apart from Duanqin Princess’ Peony Garden, it was the main courtyard of the mansion. It was the most dignified and dignified courtyard, followed by this orchid garden. It was the most elegant and unique courtyard. Even the Yun Lai Pavilion where the Crown Prince lived was inferior. From this, it could be seen that the parents and brothers loved the original owner very much

Beside Ying Ran were two big maids, Jin’er and Cui’er. After Fu Ying Ran returned to the manor, Duanqin Princess personally chose to serve her.

Ying Ran walked into the orchid courtyard and instructed the two maids, “Alright, all of you go down and rest. Wake me up early tomorrow. We’ll go back early. Prince Jing will be hiring in the afternoon. No matter what, I have to stay in the manor.” She wanted to see what King Jing was up to. Since he had agreed to marry Sun Shuyuan, why would he provoke her?

Don’t tell me he doesn’t know? You can’t have both fish and bear paws. When he Duanmu Jing agreed to Sun Shuyuan, he had to be prepared to lose Fu Yingran. Besides, since Fu Yingran had taken over the original owner’s body, he had to seek justice for her. He would definitely not let these two people live a good life.

Half a month ago, Duanmu Jing brought Sun Shuyuan to visit Prince Duan’s mansion and apologized hypocritically. He said that he had wronged Prince Ying Ran and begged Prince Duan for forgiveness. He promised repeatedly that he would never treat Ying Ran unfairly in the future. After entering the mansion, he would definitely take Ying Ran as his pride.

However, just as Fu Yingran and Sun Shuyuan were walking around the garden, Sun Shuyuan touched Fu Yingran. Fu Yingran suddenly died, and then she took over the body herself.

How could there be such a coincidence in this world? The original owner died suddenly when she was with Sun Shuyuan. As an idiot, it would be strange if there was nothing strange about this matter. This Sun Shuyuan must be strange. Thinking like this, Fu Yingran felt that someone should check on her Sun Shuyuan. So he decided. He made a decision and rolled his eyes and went to sleep.

At dawn, Cui’er and Jin’er pushed open the door and shouted, “Princess, wake up. It’s time to get up. Your Highness is already eating. Your servants should serve the Princess and quickly freshen up. You can’t keep Your Highness waiting for too long. Otherwise, Your Highness will get angry.” As he spoke, he opened the bed net, lifted the blanket, dug Ying Ran out of the bed, and the two waited for her to dress and wash.

After combing his hair, Ying Ran sat in front of the dressing table. She reluctantly looked at herself in the mirror with her eyes half open. En, generally speaking, she was considered a beauty. Thinking about it, it was also true. A dignified imperial daughter, the Emperor’s cousin, would not be ugly at all.

In the past, other than family matters, the royal daughter-in-law’s appearance could not be inferior. As for genes, they were passed down from generation to generation. They could get rid of their dross and extract their essence. Of course, they were handsome men and beautiful women. Haha, on the whole, they weren’t inferior. They were much more beautiful than the skins they had in the modern era.

After Jin’er served breakfast, Ying Ran instructed Jin’er, “Jin’er, stay and watch the courtyard with Nanny Yang. Don’t let anyone touch you.” There must be a lot of selfishness in the palace courtyard, so we shouldn’t be careless.

After saying that, Ying Ran brought Cui’er out of the Orchid Garden. The master and servant arrived at the entrance of the mansion. Seeing that Prince Duan was already waiting there, Ying Ran went forward to salute “Good morning, father.” Prince Duan looked up at his daughter and helplessly looked up at the sky. “Daughter, this early bird has insects to eat. With your appearance, your future life as a father will be very worried.”

Hehe, Ying Ran pulls the corner of her mouth, “Father, this early insect is going to be eaten by birds. Didn’t my daughter want to be staggered with birds to avoid losing her life?” Just as Ying Ran finished speaking, all the maids and guards present were suppressing their laughter, so much so that their bodies were trembling.

Ever since the imperial daughter returned to the manor, the entire Duanwang Manor had become popular. In the past, there were only the Crown Prince and a few young masters and young misses from the concubines in this manor. They all saw Duanwang like rats seeing cats. Not to mention, even if they ran into Duanwang, they were just greeting him. They didn’t dare to say anything else.

Only Princess Jingxian dared to joke with His Highness.

Prince Duan looked at the trembling crowd and looked at Fu Yingran with disdain, “Go, quickly roll onto your carriage. If you don’t walk, the moon will come out.” Prince Duan was speechless. His daughter was always a ghost.

Prince Duan glared at Ying Ran and got on his horse. He rode in front of the carriage without turning back. The corner of Ying Ran’s mouth twitched as he asked, “Cui’er, what’s wrong with Prince Duan? Is there anyone who doesn’t like his daughter so much? Am I disliked?” As he spoke, he walked towards the carriage. He climbed onto the carriage listlessly and found a comfortable place to lean against. He intended to continue with Duke Meng Zhou.

After finding a seat, he instructed Cui’er, “I need to recover my strength now. I still have a lot of things to do today. I need to recover my spirits before I can deal with those ghosts and snakes. Don’t disturb me on the way. Call me when you get to the palace gate.”

Ying Ran was thinking about how to deal with Duanmu Jing when Prince Jing came this afternoon. She didn’t want to marry Duanmu Jing. Not to mention that she wasn’t the original owner now, even if it was the original owner herself, she shouldn’t want to marry such a heartless man. If you let me down, I’ll give up. Ying Ran closed her eyes and stopped talking.

“Yes, Imperial Daughter.” Cui Er had actually discovered that her county was a little different from before. She always said things that she did not understand. She had probably experienced life and death, so she had seen through a lot of things.

The carriage drove towards the palace, the master and servant were speechless.

At the entrance of the palace, Cui’er woke Ying Ran up and said, “Princess, the palace is here. You can get off now.”

“Mm, get off the car.” Ying Ran tidied up a little and helped Cui Er out of the carriage.

At this time, Prince Duan also dismounted from his horse and walked to Ying Ran’s side and said, “Go to Shoukang Palace to see your aunt. Officials inside and outside the palace are not allowed to enter and leave at will. As your father, go to the Imperial Court first and wait for me at the entrance of the palace before noon.” After Prince Duan finished speaking with a serious expression, he turned around and went to the Hall of Diligence, leaving Ying Ran and his master and servant speechless.

Looking at the majestic Prince Duan in front of him, Ying Ran wanted to say, “Father, are you sure you’re going to the Imperial Court, not to find someone to fight with?” They had to search at the entrance of the palace first, so they couldn’t bring weapons into the palace. What was the matter with you carrying the golden whip up to the Hall of Administration? “Well, it’s good that you’re happy, this imperial daughter still go to the emperor aunt to see if you can get some benefits.

Ying Ran turned around and said to Cui’er, “Let’s go. This is the time for the palace to greet you. Perhaps Imperial Concubine Shu is also in Shoukang Palace, so we will go. Since you dare to hit me in the face, you have to wash your face clean and let me call you back.”

Don’t think that everything will be fine after the imperial edict? No matter what, I am still a dignified Princess Jingxian. How can you take care of me at will? I, Fu Yingran, have been wronged. Everyone has to accompany me in wronging.

Ying Ran brought Cui’er and her master and servant into the harem. They rushed forward without any restrictions. Along the way, the eunuchs and palace maids bowed their heads. There was nothing they could do. The jade pendant bestowed by the previous emperor was hanging around her neck. She could go wherever she wished. Even if the Guards Leader who guarded the palace saw her, he could only salute her.
