Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Fu Yingran Complaints
“Oh, Imperial Concubine Shu is fine.” Ying Ran nodded to Imperial Concubine Shu as a greeting.

Concubine Shu was dumbfounded for a long time, as if he didn’t dare to believe it. Thinking of her, Sun Shuyi, in the past two years, other than the Empress Dowager, even the Prince and Princess had treated her respectfully. However, Fu Yingran did not even bend her waist.

Suddenly, Imperial Concubine Shu felt her dignity being trampled on. In these two years, she had already forgotten that she was just an ordinary imperial concubine. Other people bowed to her and looked at the Emperor’s favor. Once she lost the Emperor’s favor, she, Sun Shuyi, was nothing. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel sad. However, she quickly adjusted herself and remembered the purpose of coming to Shoukang Palace today.

So she stepped forward and smiled. She grabbed Fu Yingran’s hand and said, “This must be Uncle Duan’s cousin Yingran. When we first met, sister-in-law did not prepare any greeting gifts. I must accept a small gift.” As she spoke, she reached out and pulled the seven-tailed phoenix hairpin off her head, about to insert it into Ying Ran’s head.

Ying Ran frowned slightly. What did she mean by this? The phoenix tails on the phoenix hairpin were worn according to the rules. Nine tails could be used above the Empress, eight tails could be used above the Prince’s Consort, and only seven tails could be used by Second Grade Imperial Concubines, Princesses, and concubine Princesses.

Was she trying to bribe her with a token that represented the prince’s consort? Plug her mouth? Was this because he was afraid that she would expose her conspiracy in front of the Empress Dowager? Could it be that she, Sun Shuyi, did not know that there was no wall that was impervious to the wind? The wedding is in 14 days, can you hide it? Could it be that they thought that a phoenix hairpin representing the prince and princess could stabilize her, Fu Yingran? Haha, interesting, then we need to see if she is worthy of Fu Yingran’s cooperation.

“Imperial Concubine Shu, although you are Big Brother Qi’s concubine, you are only a concubine, not Big Brother Qi’s wife. You can’t be Ying Ran’s sister-in-law. Imperial Concubine Shu should call me Imperial Daughter. My title is Jing Xian, and my grade is First Grade,” Ying Ran said. She reached out and pulled off the phoenix hairpin that Shu Fei had just inserted into her head. She pulled Shu Fei back to her hand and turned around to continue chatting with the Empress Dowager.

He didn’t even look at her again. He was joking. Only his wife was an authentic daughter-in-law. Only then would she be recognized and respected by her husband’s family. Concubine, that didn’t count. In front of her master, she was a slave. In front of her slave, she was her master. Therefore, when facing Fu Yingran, she, Sun Shuyi, was just a slave.

Haha, you must be slapping your face now. You are a Second Grade Imperial Concubine, yet you dare to act like a master in front of her First Grade Imperial Daughter. This is not asking for your own unease.

Seven-tailed phoenix hairpin? Isn’t that amazing? I really don’t care. Although Fu Yingran is only a princess, she enjoys treatment that is more respected than the first princess. Compared to the first princess, she is not only a little bit higher. When the previous emperor conferred her the title of princess, he also rewarded her with several eight-tailed phoenix hairpins.

Back then, Prince Duan had made great contributions to calming down the chaos. He didn’t reward her heavily and was afraid that the morale of the army would be unstable. Thus, the first emperor conferred the title of Fu Yingran and gave her a jade pendant to show that the king didn’t kneel. If I personally came, the first emperor wasn’t foolish. It was indeed inappropriate to make her daughter’s family so noble. However, he was more willing to confer the title of a daughter’s family than the man from Prince Duan’s Manor.

Thinking that Prince Duan was already the Sovereign of the Prince, there was no longer any way to seal him. No matter if it was any young master of the Prince Duan Mansion, it would be a big hidden danger. To the future Emperor, it would also be a great threat. No matter how noble her daughter’s family was, it would not be able to turn the heavens. Hence, the fragrant pie smashed her head.

“Auntie, Ying Ran came here today to report to the Emperor’s Aunt. Ying Ran is going to get married in a dozen days. Today, I came here specifically to beg for a dowry from you. In the future, I won’t have to beg to survive in my husband’s house. I’m hard-pressed and my wallet is bulging. I don’t need to look at people’s faces. You said, “Ying Ran pretended to wipe away the tears that didn’t exist at the corner of his eyes.

“Oh? Why haven’t I heard about this? That’s true. In the blink of an eye, Ying Ran is already fifteen years old. We are going to get married. Quickly tell the emperor’s aunt which young master she is. The Ai family can send people to inquire about her and see if she is honest. You should know that the imperial daughter can’t take a concubine in the future. If she meets someone with a lot of heart, she might not be able to live her life in the future.” When the Empress Dowager heard that Ying Ran was going to get married, she was also worried and wanted to help Ying Ran take care of the situation.

Ying Ran looked sideways at Imperial Concubine Shu, only to see the panic in her eyes. Perhaps she would never have imagined that Fu Yingran was a master who could not enter the oil and salt realm, so she was simply out of control.

Ying Ran thought to himself, “Haha, since you guys are in the first year of junior high school, I will be in the fifteenth year. Although it is the beginning of your shouting, it is not up to you to shout the end.”

Ying Ran continued to wipe away the tears that did not exist. “Don’t you know, Auntie Huang? Brother Qi personally gave the decree to marry her. Furthermore, it wasn’t Princess Shang. It was Ying Ran’s marriage. It was just a flat wife. There was still a wife on top of it.”

But it’s still an imperial edict issued by the emperor’s brother. It’s impossible not to marry, so I thought that I would come here to ask for something to support the situation so that I wouldn’t be bullied in the future. “The more she said this, the more aggrieved she became. Her eyes were red as she lowered her head.

‘”Auntie Huang, it’s been many years since I met Second Brother Ying Ran. My Second Brother is now a rank one general. If he marries Ying Ran, it will be very glorious. In the future, we’ll see who dares to bully me at my husband’s house. Auntie Huang, please fulfill Ying Ran’s wish. Let Second Brother come back and send Ying Ran off.” This was a combination of carrot and stick. He wanted the Empress Dowager to agree to let Fu Tianchen return to the capital to send her off.

The Empress Dowager was not simple. Without understanding the situation, she would not blindly agree to her request. Thus, she avoided the situation and asked, “Oh? Also, what kind of noble family is this? A dignified imperial daughter can only be a flat wife? Which woman is so noble that she can suppress you?”

It can be seen that the Empress Dowager is angry. The Empress Dowager has lost her mind. She is very clear-headed. Let alone the jade pendant that I personally came to, she Fu Yingran is already out of control. Besides, her surname is Fu Yingran. That’s the surname of the country. Not everyone can suppress her head.

“Emperor’s aunt, the emperor’s brother asked Ying Ran to marry the second young miss of the Sun Family into the Jing Palace on the same day. He also asked the young miss of the Sun Family to enter the Palace as his main wife in the morning. As my ordinary wife, I will only be able to enter the Palace in the afternoon.” Ying Ran whispered more and more, looking like a ten-year-old daughter-in-law.

What else does the Empress Dowager not understand now? She glanced at Shu Fei and said, “Why did Shu Fei come to pay her respects today? So it was because of this.” She immediately looked at Fu Yingran and asked, “King Jing? Is it Duanmu Jing? The second young miss of the Sun Clan, is the second young miss of the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion?”

Who was the Empress Dowager? The Emperor’s biological mother entered the palace at the age of fifteen. She had been in the harem for decades, but she didn’t understand anything else. The Empress Dowager raised her eyes to look at Concubine Shu, and the temperature in the room dropped several degrees

“Yes, Auntie Huang, even Prince Jing Duanmu Jing and Sun Shuyuan, the second young miss of the Zuo Prime Minister’s Manor, Ying Ran also knew that Jun Wu had no jokes. Once the imperial edict was issued, Ying Ran did not dare to feel wronged. He only wanted to see his second brother send Ying Ran into the manor so that others would not look down on him in the future.” Ying Ran bit the Empress Dowager tightly and ordered Fu Tianchen to return to the capital to send her off.

“I have indeed wronged you. The Ai Clan will issue a decree to have your second brother return to the capital to send you off. Don’t worry, with the Ai Clan here, no one can bully you. There won’t be any chaos on this day.” The Empress Dowager’s tone had changed.

What was there to not understand? If Ying Ran and Sun Shuyuan were to marry into Prince Jing’s Mansion at the same time, as long as Shu Fei played some tricks to make Prince Jing willing to support her, it would be equivalent to Prince Duan’s Mansion and Prince Jing’s Mansion becoming Shu Fei’s help.

And Concubine Shu had a prince under her knees. The Sun Clan definitely wanted to support her grandson as the Crown Prince, so they circled around a lot. They wanted Prince Duan’s Manor and Prince Jing’s Manor to be used by Concubine Shu to support her own son in seizing the throne. Of course, this was their own idea. At the very least, they wouldn’t arrange for her to be Fu Yingran’s.

Of course, the Empress Dowager also knew, The Emperor did not want Fu Tianchen to return to the capital. She also knew that Fu Yingran was using this as an excuse, She wanted Fu Tianchen to return to the capital, but the Empress Dowager was not confused. She knew that the emperor’s decree was clearly a mistake. It was clearly slapping Duanwang Manor’s face. If she did not compensate Duanwang Manor and calm her anger elsewhere, the Emperor’s court would probably not be able to sit steadily with Duanwang’s temper.

“Ying Ran thanks the Emperor’s Aunt for her help.” Ying Ran immediately got up from his chair and knelt down to salute. Everyone was wise, and nothing was said

The Empress Dowager took a step forward. He helped Ying Ran up and said, “get up, “You don’t have to think too much. The dowry will be prepared for you. The day before the wedding, it will definitely be delivered to Prince Duan’s Mansion. The wedding is coming soon. You should go back and prepare it as soon as possible. Come to the palace more often and talk to the Ai Clan. The palace is getting more and more deserted. By the way, you should go and enlighten your sister Min. Could she really be afraid of little ghosts?”
