Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Clear Attitude
“Royal father, I can only lock up all the women that Royal father has given me in the Crown Prince’s Mansion. I will never listen to your arrangements again. Don’t forget, the army of the Great Wei Kingdom is still in our territory at night.”

In the past two months, Huyan Mingshuo had thought a lot. He was truly sorry for Fu Yingran. He had never done anything for her. He couldn’t help but recall what Prince Jing said back then, “You can’t have both fish and bear paws. Fu Yingran’s feelings can’t be squandered.”

It was his carelessness and greed. He had never taken Fu Yingran’s words to heart. He thought that she was angry at such a young age. He thought that as long as she had a child, she would surely endure staying behind. He never expected that she would leave with the child without leaving any traces behind.

“Shuo’er” Just as the Emperor was about to say something, the eunuch outside shouted, “Your Highness, hurry up and go to Zhengyang Palace. The Crown Princess has arrived.”

When Huyan Mingshuo heard the shout, he was too lazy to speak to the Emperor. He directly turned around and strode out of the door. When he saw the little eunuch who sent the message, he asked, “Is this true? Is the Crown Princess really here?”

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince’s Concubine is the Eldest Miss of the Heavenly Villa. We have already arrived at the Zhengyang Palace. This servant heard the adults call her the Crown Prince’s Concubine, and also heard that she agreed. Thus, he hurriedly ran over to report to His Highness the Crown Prince.”

The little eunuch was always clever once. This laid the foundation for his future career and became a celebrity beside the Crown Princess. Of course, this was also the last words.

Huyan Mingshuo listened to the eunuch’s words and immediately quickened his pace towards the Zhengyang Palace. The eunuch trotted behind him and the Emperor also heard him in the room. Thus, he also left for the Zhengyang Palace.

Huyan Mingshuo saw Fu Yingran on the guest seat as soon as he stepped into the main gate of Zhengyang Hall. He quickly walked towards her and saw her. Yingran stood up and bowed indifferently, saying, “Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince.”

Huyan Mingshuo saw Fu Yingran with a big belly and said angrily, “Stand still for me.” Then, he walked to Ying Ran’s side and pulled her over to his embrace. Then, he took out another hand and naturally caressed her bulging stomach. This was his child.

As for the guy in his stomach, he seemed to have sensed the touch from his father, so he kicked him and expressed his opinion, proving his existence.

Huyan Mingshuo was so frightened that he retracted his hand. Ying Ran also pushed his hand away in disgust. Thinking about how many women he had hugged, the more Ying Ran thought about it, the more disgusting it became. So, he really wanted to vomit. So, he said to Huyan Mingshuo, “Take your hand away. Don’t touch Bengong with the hands of other women. Bengong feels disgusted.”

Huyan Mingshuo was depressed when he heard this, so he told her the truth, “Ying Ran, I don’t have a concubine. Helian Lanying hasn’t entered the Crown Prince’s Mansion yet. Come back with me. Don’t leave me, okay? You have to think about the future of the child.”

Ying Ran raised his head and said contemptuously, “The child is mine. He follows my surname Fu and is also a royal descendant. This palace knows that you have a special status. In the future, I will not be the only wife, nor will he be the only child.”

“So I won’t force you. Whether he is a man or a woman, he is my Fu Yingran’s child. My Fu family’s descendants have nothing to do with your Huyan family. From now on, whether your Crown Prince Shuo takes a wife or a concubine is up to you.”

Ying Ran’s words were too obvious, but his firm attitude could not be ignored. Huyan Mingshuo also knew that Ying Ran would really do this.

Just as Huyan Mingshuo was about to speak, the Emperor came in. Everyone stood up and said, “Let me explain to you …”

“Get up, everyone. Sit down.” As he spoke, the Emperor stepped onto the dragon chair and sat down. He glanced at the guest seat. The Nanjiang Mission had already arrived, and he also saw Fu Yingran.

So he said, “Since the Crown Princess has come, how can you be a guest? You are my Ye Lan Crown Princess, the righteous master. It’s better to sit in your own seat.”

The Crown Prince is already married, so every major festival, the Crown Prince will put the position of Crown Princess next to him. This is the difference between Great Wei and Ye Lan. In Ye Lan, once your identity is recognized, you are qualified to sit next to your husband.

“No need, Your Majesty. Ying Ran is the eldest young miss of the Heavenly Villa today. If you have something to tell Your Majesty, then leave immediately. It’s the same wherever you sit.” Ying Ran rejected the Emperor’s offer. She did not want to pass the test so vaguely and did not give a clear attitude. This time, she would never compromise.

“Oh, what does the Crown Princess have to say? Tell me, as long as Father Emperor can do it, Father Emperor will agree to it.” There was nothing he could do. He had already promised the princess of Nanjiang to marry her into the Crown Prince’s Mansion as his wife.

The Crown Prince couldn’t make sense. Perhaps she would agree to persuade Ying Ran, but what the Emperor didn’t expect was that Fu Ying Ran’s next words would directly cut off his thoughts.

Everyone could only hear Fu Yingran say, “Today, I came here at three o’clock. Firstly, since I stepped into Ye Lan, I have been assassinated many times. I hope that Ye Lan can give me an explanation and find out the culprit and hand it over to me.”

Second, Yelan Country could not marry Nanjiang, otherwise, if all the businesses of Tianyi Manor withdrew from Yelan, Great Wei Country would also close the trade port to Yelan.

“Third, once Huyan Mingshuo takes another wife or concubine, I have the right to divorce him. The child in my belly will become a descendant of my Fu Clan and has no relationship with Emperor Ye Lan.” Ying Ran looked at the Emperor blankly and waited for his reply.

When the Emperor heard this, he was about to say something when the Crown Prince of Nanjiang suddenly said, “Crown Princess, you are wrong. We are in a high position, and it is only common for us to be assassinated. Furthermore, it has been a long time since we were assassinated, so it is difficult to find out who the real culprit is.”

Moreover, the marriage between Nanjiang and Ye Lan was a major event between the two countries. Wasn’t the Crown Princess also married? “Furthermore, it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If the Crown Princess divorces him and takes away the royal bloodline just because the Crown Prince marries another wife or takes a concubine, how can this be justified? Ever since Gu Fu became his wife, wouldn’t the Crown Princess be too forceful?”

The Southern Border Crown Prince stared at Ying Ran. He wanted to see how Fu Ying Ran replied. Of course, Fu Ying Ran’s reply did not disappoint him and directly stuffed him into silence.

“May I ask who your Excellency is?” Ying Ran asked unhurriedly.

The Southern Crown Prince also replied leisurely, “This palace’s Southern Crown Prince, Mu Ling Feng, is next to my sister, Mu Ling Hua. Emperor Ye Lan has already agreed to let Ling Hua marry into the Crown Prince’s Mansion as a flat wife. I hope that we can get along well with the Crown Princess in the future.”

“Oh, so it’s His Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess. I’m sorry, but this palace wants to ask who His Highness is talking to. If you’re talking to the Crown Princess of Ye Lan, I’m sorry. This is a family matter of this palace, so it’s inconvenient for an outsider like you to say more.

As for your sister wanting to marry into the Crown Prince’s Mansion, that’s Huyan Mingshuo’s matter. What does it have to do with this palace?

If you are talking to the eldest princess of the Great Wei Kingdom, then this is an exchange of state affairs between our Great Wei and Ye Lan. Crown Prince Mu also has no right to speak. In our Great Wei Kingdom, once the son-in-law and the prefecture horse marry, the princess and the imperial daughter have the right to divorce their husbands.

If you’re talking to Eldest Miss of Tian Yizhuang? That is to say, Tianyi Villa is of no importance in the southern border. That is why His Highness the Crown Prince ignores the existence of Tianyi Villa. ”

After Ying Ran finished speaking, she no longer looked at the Southern Crown Prince. Instead, she took out the token Duanmu Yuan had given her and handed it to Cui’er behind her. She said, “I will give orders. From tomorrow onwards, all the businesses of Tianyi Villa will be withdrawn from the Southern Region. I have my own arrangements.”

Cui Er took the token and did not leave immediately. She was very worried about leaving Fu Yingran in the palace. She thought that she would arrange it after leaving the palace. In any case, there was no lack of time. Fu Yingran did not rush her. She quietly waited for the Southern Region Crown Prince’s reaction and Emperor Ye Lan’s reply.

Seeing that Ying Ran had indeed taken out the keepsake of Tianyi Villa, Crown Prince Mu of Nanjiang was also frightened. If Tianyi Villa withdrew from Nanjiang, the economy of Nanjiang would be paralyzed. However, he did not believe that she, Fu Yingran, could be the master.

Thus, he said, “Even if you are really the eldest young miss of the Heavenly Villa, I do not believe that you can be the master. Today, I, Nanjiang, will never give way to Yelan’s marriage. I, Nanjiang Princess, will definitely marry into the Crown Prince’s Mansion and become Ping Fei.”

When the Emperor heard Crown Prince Mu’s words, his heart also shook. She, Fu Yingran, was just a married woman. How could she become these masters? Therefore, he also intended to suppress her limelight.e
