Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Meet Empress Dowager
Everyone looked at the jade pendant on her neck. They all bowed their heads and gave way, Ying Ran also lowered his head to take a look. Jing Xian appeared on the front of the jade pendant, while Jing Xian was bestowed by Emperor Wen. Emperor Wei Wen was the previous emperor. It could be imagined that this imperial daughter of hers was exceptionally noble. Perhaps it had been ten years since this imperial daughter left the capital. It had been too long since she came out. Everyone had forgotten her identity and assumed that she was one of the princesses in the palace who could manipulate her.

However, it doesn’t matter. Since everyone has forgotten, just let everyone remember. We need to let everyone know that Fu Yingran is not easy to bully.

However, this was the first time Fu Yingran had entered the palace. He didn’t know where Shoukang was, so he grabbed a palace maid and asked, “Where is Shoukang Palace? Bring this imperial daughter over.”

The palace maid originally didn’t care. She raised her head and saw the jade pendant that Fu Yingran was carrying. She quickly lowered her head, because the jade pendant on her neck had seen the pattern the day the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards entered the palace. She was also warned to see this item as if it was seen by the emperor.

“Yes, Commandery Princess, this way please. This servant will bring you over right away.” The little palace maid silently led the way and led Ying Ran and his master and servant to Shoukang Palace.

At this moment, Imperial Concubine Shu also heard that Fu Yingran had entered the palace. Actually, she had already thought that Fu Yingran would definitely enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager after receiving the imperial edict. However, the Empress Dowager still couldn’t know about this matter. Otherwise, with the Empress Dowager’s dislike of her, she would definitely make trouble.

Thus, he hurriedly instructed the palace maid to dressing up for him. He had to hurry to Shoukang Palace and block Fu Yingran’s mouth before she could speak.

Thinking of this, he instructed the palace maid, “Put that seven-tailed phoenix hairpin on this palace and insert it loosely. This palace will take it down later. Don’t mess up your hair at that time.”

“Yes, Imperial Concubine Shu.” The palace maid answered tremblingly. She knew of Imperial Concubine Shu’s methods. In the past, a palace maid accidentally removed a few strands of her hair and was killed with a living staff.

She was the Great Palace Maid by Concubine Shu’s side called Yan’er. Ever since the emperor issued the decree to grant her marriage yesterday, she had been sent to the Jing Palace to be a spy. Today, she happened to leave the palace to do business. She knew that Fu Yingran was going to attack. She was worried that Concubine Shu would be caught off guard, so she hurriedly went into the palace to report to Concubine Shu, so that she could have a response in advance.

Yan’er was smart and quickly dressed Concubine Shu up. Concubine Shu looked in the mirror and confirmed that she was done. She asked Yan’er to help her to Shoukang Palace. To be honest, she really didn’t want to go to Shoukang Palace because the Empress Dowager didn’t like her. But she had to go today. So she stepped up her pace. Fortunately, Fu Yingran hadn’t arrived when she arrived at Shoukang Palace.

On the other hand, Ying Ran followed the palace maid for about fifteen minutes before the three of them arrived at the entrance of Shoukang Palace. Ying Ran raised his head to look at the three words “Shoukang Palace”, which represented longevity and well-being.

At this time, the little palace maid on duty at the door also saw Ying Ran and hurriedly went forward to salute him. She had seen Fu Yingran during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the current Fu Yingran was no longer the time for Fu Yingran, so she did not know this palace maid.

Seeing the palace maid salute and say, “Greetings, Princess. Princess Wan An.” Ying Ran glanced at her and asked indifferently, “Is Auntie Huang here?”

“Commandery Princess, the Empress Dowager is here. Imperial Concubine Shu has just come to pay her respects.” This palace maid knew that Fu Yingran’s status was noble, so she wanted to sell her, so it would be good if she promoted her in the future.

Fu Yingran also received her invitation, “Alright, I understand. You can go in and report it.”

“Imperial Daughter, please wait a moment.” The palace maid turned around and went in to report.

Haha, this Concubine Shu is really here. Very good, this Princess wants to see what kind of abacus she, Sun Shuyi, is up to.

“Imperial Daughter, the Empress Dowager invites you in.” Not long after, the little palace maid came out.

Fu Yingran replied and walked in.

When they arrived at the entrance of the main hall of Shoukang Palace, they saw Nanny Yu beside the Empress Dowager welcome them out. “Aiyo, imperial daughter, the Empress Dowager is very happy to hear that imperial daughter is here. Why don’t you ask me, this old woman, to come out to welcome imperial daughter? Imperial daughter, quickly follow this old servant inside!”

“Thank you, Nanny. How is Auntie Huang?” Ying Ran walked in while talking to Nanny Yu.

The Empress Dowager only had one son under her knees. Ever since the Emperor came of age, she did not like to stay by her side. Coincidentally, Duanqin Princess left the young Fu Yingran alone in the capital at that time. She followed Prince Duanqin to battle outside all year round and rarely returned to the capital. As a result, the Empress Dowager, the current Empress Dowager, often brought Ying Ran into the palace in order to relieve the loneliness in the palace. She had always treated Ying Ran as a princess of the first wife.

Therefore, Ying Ran followed the Empress Dowager most of the time at that time. This relationship was also extraordinary. The Empress Dowager had also spoiled her to the point that she had no limits. Otherwise, Prince Duan wouldn’t have lost sight of her and directly sent her to the number one manor under the heavens to be disciplined by Duanmu Yuan.

“The Empress Dowager is fine. Even if she keeps talking about the imperial daughter all day long and says that you’ve been back for half a year, she won’t come into the palace to see her.” Ying Ran thought to himself, Perhaps the Empress Dowager didn’t know about the marriage, right? Otherwise, with her love for him, she would never agree to marry a prince of the opposite sex as a flat wife.

That’s right. Otherwise, why would Imperial Concubine Shu come to Shoukang Palace today? I’m afraid she knows that I’m going to meet the Empress Dowager. She’s running here to block people, so she can take action first. Haha, have some tricks. This is fun.

Nanny Yu lifted the curtain and let Ying Ran enter the room. Suddenly, a warm current pounced on her face. Ying Ran walked in and saw the Empress Dowager sitting upright on the main seat. Thus, she went forward and gave an honest bow. “Ying Ran greets the Emperor’s Aunt.”

“You damn girl, your aunt thinks of you every day, but even if no one comes, it has been so long since you came back, and I haven’t seen you come to see your aunt. I feel sorry for you in vain.” The Empress Dowager’s eyebrows curved as she glanced at Ying Ran and couldn’t help but complain.

“Ying Ran has only been in the palace to see the Emperor’s Aunt for so long. Isn’t it Ying Ran? No, I came to pay my respects to the Emperor’s Aunt as soon as I was free. Please forgive me once.” Ying Ran displayed her ability to act spoiled and cute. Anyway, she would get used to doing this kind of thing anyway, hehe.

“Alright, hurry up. It’s cold in such a cold world.” The Empress Dowager was still reluctant to part with her complaints. After all, she had grown up in pain since childhood.

‘”Thank you, Auntie.” Ying Ran quickly got up from the ground. Only then did she carefully see the Empress Dowager. This was the legendary Empress Dowager. She was in her forties, and her skin was well maintained. Her facial features were also very beautiful. She must have been a beauty when she was young. The Empress Dowager gave off the impression that she was dignified and dignified. Her noble aura was so powerful that people couldn’t help but feel awe in their hearts.

Some people are like this. Their temperament is innate. Whatever they wear and wear is secondary. Clothes and accessories can be imitated or described. Only the temperament of a person is shocking from the inside out. It is impossible to imitate, nor can it be described.

Ying Ran didn’t care about the Empress Dowager’s aura and began to coquettishly say to her, “How’s Auntie Huang? Ying Ran missed you so much.”

‘”Ai Clan is fine. Come, sit next to Ai Clan’s aunt. Let Ai Clan have a good look. I wonder what your father thinks. What kind of martial arts is your daughter practicing? Can’t you be a princess safely by Ai Clan’s side? Let’s see how dark it is. If we go out at night, who can see you?”

Hehe, Ying Ran’s three black threads were hanging on her forehead. She was wrong. This empress dowager was made under the same brand as her father. “Eh, who is this? Why hasn’t Ying Ran seen her? Oh, right, sister Min. Why hasn’t she seen sister Min? Ying Ran hasn’t seen her in years.” When Ying Ran was young, she often followed behind her in the palace.

Actually, Ying Ran knew that it was Imperial Concubine Shu the moment he entered the door, but he pretended not to recognize her. He even deliberately mentioned the Empress to remind Imperial Concubine Shu that the Empress was the royal daughter-in-law, the Emperor’s wife, and you were just a concubine, a concubine. Who wouldn’t slap in the face.

“Your sister Fan Xiaoren is afraid of seeing dirty things. She won’t be able to come out of Kunning Palace. You can go and see her later. She is wearing a jade pendant bestowed by your uncle. You can go anywhere from the Fu Clan’s rivers and mountains to the imperial palace of the Great Wei Dynasty.”

Imperial Concubine Shu heard this, She was shocked. In order to suppress the Empress, she had instructed the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace not to let anyone near Kun Ning Palace. It was to leave the Empress alone, but she did not know that Princess Jing Xian had no taboos. She could go wherever she wished and do whatever she wished. Even the Emperor could not say no.

The Empress Dowager looked at Imperial Concubine Shu and said with disgust, “As for this one, she is your Brother Qi’s imperial concubine, Imperial Concubine Shu.” The current Emperor’s name was Fu Tianqi, and Ying Ran had called him Brother Qi ever since he was young.
