The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

After the emperor decided to arrange a marriage between Hang Fufeng and General Chao's daughter Chao Yaoyao, he immediately sent someone to summon General Chao into the palace.

When General Chao received the imperial edict, he had some guesses in his mind. He straightened his clothes and went to the palace with a solemn expression.

Entering the palace, he saluted respectfully to the general: "I pay my respects to your majesty."

The emperor raised his hand slightly, indicating that the general did not need to be polite.

"General Chao, I summoned you here today because of the Crown Prince's matter."

He bowed slightly to the general and waited for the emperor's next words.

The emperor continued, "Prince Hang Fufeng is intelligent, courageous, and righteous, and has now been appointed as the crown prince. After much thought, I feel that General Chao's daughter Chao Yaoyao is extremely intelligent and a perfect match for the crown prince. What do you think, General Chao?"

General Chao was shocked, he naturally understood the profound meaning of the emperor's move.

Chao Yaoyao was the former Crown Princess, and now the Emperor wants her to be the new Crown Princess. This shows both his appreciation for Hang Fufeng and his attempt to win over the Chao family.

The general thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty favors me. It is my honor to be appreciated by your Majesty and the Crown Prince. But I was the former Crown Princess and have a son. I am afraid this may not be appropriate."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. "General Chao, you worry too much. The former crown prince is already in decline. Chao Yaoyao has already drawn a clear line between him and him, so there is no need to dwell on the past. I believe that if Chao Yaoyao becomes the crown princess, she will be able to assist the crown prince and make contributions to the country of Jin."

The general was silent for a moment, then bowed again and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and I will obey your Majesty's order. But I still need to consult my daughter's opinion on this matter. After all, marriage is a big matter and she should make the decision herself."

The emperor nodded and said, "It should be so. General Chao can go back and discuss it with Chao Yaoyao. I will wait for good news."

I bid farewell to the general, with a lot of thoughts in my mind.

Of course, he intended to have the daughter of the Chao family marry into the royal family. If it wasn't Chao Yao, it had to be Chao Shi.

Before, both the high priest and the people from the Imperial Observatory had predicted Chao Yao's fate. She was born to be a phoenix, and would definitely be the first choice for the Crown Princess this time.

The emperor chose Chao Yao among so many women, and it must have been the high priest who had suggested this to him.

If Chao Yao did not marry the current Crown Prince Hang Fufeng, but married someone else, what would happen if the position of the Crown Prince of Jin Kingdom was in turmoil again?

The emperor could not afford to gamble, nor did he want to gamble.

It’s just a position, the Chao family is not bad either.

In addition, Chao Yao had been a crown princess, so she was considered an experienced person.

When General Chao returned home, the first thing he went to was Chao Yao's yard.

At this time, Chao Yao's overall condition has been getting better and better since he divorced Hang Jinnian.

Now she can go out for a walk and her complexion is always rosy.

When General Chao stepped into Chao Yao's yard, he saw Chao Yao sitting in the pavilion, holding a book in his hand with a calm expression.

Chao Yao coughed lightly at the general, looked up and saw his father, then quickly stood up and saluted.

"Father."

He waved slightly at the general, motioning her to sit down.

"Yaoyao, your father went to see His Majesty today."

Chao Yao's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed the purpose of his father's visit.

"Father, what is the matter with His Majesty's summons?"

The general looked solemn and said slowly: "His Majesty intends to let you remarry and become the new Crown Princess."

Chao Yao was slightly startled when he heard this, then lowered his eyes.

"Father, my daughter was once the Crown Princess. If I marry the Crown Prince again, I'm afraid it will cause criticism."

General Chao sighed, "Yaoyao, your father knows your concerns. But this matter is not as simple as you think. Now that Crown Prince Hang Fufeng has been appointed Crown Prince, His Majesty values ​​him and the Chao family. If you become the Crown Princess, you can not only assist the Crown Prince and bring glory to the Chao family, but also contribute to the country of Jin. Moreover, you are born with the destiny of a phoenix, and His Majesty made this decision after careful consideration."

Chao Yao remained silent, his mind full of thoughts.

He continued to say to the general, "Besides, the former crown prince is no longer powerful. Since you have already drawn a clear line between you and him, you don't have to dwell on the past. If you marry Hang Fufeng now, it will be a new beginning. Moreover, Hang Fufeng is intelligent, courageous, and righteous, so he is a good match for you."

Chao Yao bit her lip gently and said, "Father, I need some time to think about it."

General Chao nodded and said, "Father understands your feelings. Please think about this matter carefully. But remember, your decision is not only related to your own future, but also to the rise and fall of the Chao family."

After saying that, General Chao stood up and left, leaving Chao Yao alone in the pavilion, lost in thought.

Lan Yu looked at Chao Yao who was lost in thought, his heart filled with heartache and anticipation.

She walked lightly to Chao Yao's side, bowed slightly and said, "Miss."

Chao Yao looked up at Lan Yu, his eyes full of complexity.

Lan Yu said softly, "Miss, I know you have some concerns in your heart, but I think this marriage may be a good choice."

Chao Yao frowned slightly, "Lan Yu, do you also think I should get married again?"

Lan Yu bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say, "Miss, think about how the Crown Prince Hang Jinnian betrayed you. He was fooling around with the maid Xiao Ruqiu, totally disregarding your feelings. You paid so much for him, but ended up like this. Now that His Majesty intends to make you the new Crown Princess, this is your chance to start over."

Chao Yao sighed softly, "But I was once the Crown Princess, and now that I'm remarried, I'm bound to be gossiped about."

Lan Yu held Chao Yao's hand and said, "Miss, why do you care about other people's gossip? You were born with a phoenix destiny, and you should have an extraordinary life. Crown Prince Hang Fufeng is smart and courageous, and has a sense of justice. He will definitely treat you well. Moreover, if you become the Crown Princess, you can also bring glory to the Chao family and create a good future for yourself."

Chao Yao was silent for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Lan Yu struck while the iron was hot, "Miss, just let go of the past and take this step bravely. I believe that you will be happy."

"Forget it, go to the front yard and tell my father that I agree."

When Lan Yu heard Chao Yao's words, her eyes were full of surprise, and she quickly responded, "Yes, Miss, I will pass on the message right away."

After saying that, Lan Yu walked quickly towards the front yard.

When she arrived at the front yard, she saw General Chao discussing matters with several aides.

Lan Yu quickly bowed respectfully and said, "General, the young lady asked me to pass on a message that she agrees to this marriage."

When the general heard this, a look of relief appeared on his face.

He nodded slightly and said to his staff, "Let's discuss today's affairs here for now. You can leave first." The staff bowed and left.

General Chao looked at Lan Yu and asked, "Miss, do you have anything else to say?"

Lan Yu replied: "Miss, you have no other instructions."

General Chao thought for a moment and said, "Go back and take good care of the young lady. I will take care of this matter."

Lan Yu bowed again and returned to Chao Yao's yard.

General Chao already had a plan in mind.

He immediately sent someone to the palace to report to the emperor that Chao Yao agreed to the marriage. Afterwards, he summoned important figures in the family to discuss the preparations for Chao Yao's marriage with Crown Prince Hang Fufeng.

General Chao knew very well that this marriage was not only related to Chao Yao's happiness, but also to the future of the Chao family.

He had to plan carefully to make sure everything went smoothly.

General Chao said to everyone seriously: "Now that the young lady has agreed to marry the prince, this is a major event for the Chao family. We must go all out and make all preparations. From the preparations for the wedding to the communication with the royal family, we must do everything to perfection. There must not be the slightest mistake."

Everyone nodded and said they would do their best.
