Marry a Duke

Chapter 169 Checking and Balancing Each Other

The throne of Dayue Kingdom was passed on only a few years ago, and the war with Daliang lasted for many more years. Only those who remained in the capital thought that Dayue was peaceful and prosperous.

But who among those in power knows how difficult life is for the people at the bottom?

Just like what happened to Fu Ran before, Fu Ran was sold to the Princess's Mansion as a slave.

If the family wasn't really short of money, this wouldn't have happened.

Not to mention the people in remote areas, the rich are the gentry and the powerful, never the common people.

Fu Ran was silent. She had not been to many places and she stayed in this small circle, so she naturally thought that the world outside was not that bad.

Lian Xing changed her clothes and even put on her makeup. She was as beautiful as jade, with a slim waist that could be held in one hand. When she walked out gracefully, everyone was stunned.

Lian Xing, however, performed the ceremony very politely.

She didn't stay any longer, and found a reason to go back.

I can't wait to go along.

Princess Lianxing is indeed stunningly beautiful.

If he could marry such a beauty, it would be a good deal for him to come to Dayue.

"Prince Nadu, Princess Lianxing is an unmarried girl. It's not appropriate for you to stare at her so directly." Wei Xuan reminded lightly.

Who knew that they all laughed.

"The one I'm eyeing is Princess Lianxing. It's better if she's not married. I'm also unmarried. In this marriage, she and I are a perfect match." He said frankly.

Wei Xuan's eyes turned a little colder.

"If Prince Nadu meets someone he likes, he can express his intention to the emperor, but he cannot choose anyone at will. The princess of Dayue Kingdom is not yet at the stage where she can be chosen by others."

Their faces froze.

I was unhappy, but it was hard to show it.

"Forget it. Even if Princess Lianxing doesn't want to, there is still County Princess Ruhui. I can definitely choose a satisfactory candidate." Nadu said.

Wei Xuan lowered his eyebrows and curled his lips.

"If that's the case, then Prince Du, just wait and see. As for who will be the bride of the prince, it's all up to His Majesty to decide."

That was all silent.

This matter does require an order from the Emperor of Dayue.

However, he came all the way here, and if the emperor of Dayue rejected his opinion, he would be rejecting Daliang's opinion.

Although Daliang was defeated, it is like a centipede that is dead but still has its military strength.

Even if they cannot win, once they invade Dayue's border, Dayue will suffer great losses.

When he went out again, Fu Ran seemed extremely silent.

She never said another word along the way.

She cannot interfere in family and national affairs.

The marriage was decided by the emperor and was arranged by Wei Xuan. She could only be a bystander and could not really help.

Princess Lianxing was determined to do this, and she could only feel heartbroken.

At Princess Ruhui's place——

As they were almost at the Duke of Wei's Mansion, Fu Ran suddenly asked.

"What would the situation be like if Princess Ruhui was the one who finally married into Daliang?"

Wei Xuan knew what she was thinking along the way.

I didn't hide it from her.

"The princess intends to contain me. She will use both hard and soft tactics, threats and inducements to get Nadu to marry Ruhui. With Ruhui's status, when she arrives in Daliang, the people of Daliang will not dare to look down on her. She has her uncle the emperor, her mother the princess, and her father the Duke of England behind her. Anyone who knows what's going on will never touch her easily."

Fu Ran understood.

To move Ruhui is to move Dayue.

Dayue must be the one to level the beam.

Now in terms of military strength, Daliang is not as good as Dayue.

There is a god of war in Dayue, and there is Wei Xuan.

"What is the princess thinking in order to contain you? Once she has you under her feet, Daliang will see the signs and will definitely find ways to step on you and leave you no chance of turning over. In this way, in Dayue, apart from the emperor, the princess will be the only one in power. Daliang will be even happier that Dayue no longer has a commander strong enough to fight against them. Isn't Dayue going to be bullied by Daliang?"

If even Fu Ran could think of it, why couldn’t the princess think of it?

It’s not that she couldn’t think of it, she just didn’t take it seriously. In her eyes, Wei Xuan was not irreplaceable.

There are so many generals in the army, and Wei Xuan is not the only one who can lead the troops to fight.

The Dayue Kingdom can take down a war god and create another one.

If you can defeat Daliang once, you can defeat Daliang a second time.

The eldest princess wants a commander who submits to her.

But the emperor didn't think so. He was still afraid that the eldest princess would shake the foundation of the country, so he secretly asked Wei Xuan to deal with the eldest princess and not let her get her wish.

But he didn't want to completely break off relations with the princess.

After all, the eldest princess does have some matters in her hands that are detrimental to the court and people's livelihood.

They need to dismantle the power of the eldest princess step by step.

The eldest princess also wanted to undermine Wei Xuan's power in order to seize more power.

Wei Xuan just said something casually and did not tell Fu Ran anything more in-depth.

Fu Ran was not in a position to ask any more detailed questions.

"Can I invite Princess Lianxing to visit my house?" she asked. She felt that Princess Lianxing was very pitiful and had a miserable life. If she really married Nadu, her future life would definitely not be what she wanted.

Life is really miserable when people always work for others and are oppressed by others.

Wei Xuan didn't know that she had become friends with Princess Lianxing.

"Why do you want to invite her to your house?" he asked puzzledly.

"Princess Lianxing is beautiful, kind and has a good temper. She has lived in Fengxian Temple since she was a child. After returning to the capital, she has not had much social interaction. Perhaps, she and I have the same suffering in some aspects, so we can get along well." Fu Ran said.

Sympathy?

Wei Xuan's eyes darkened.

Know what she is talking about.

"You are the wife of Duke Weiguo. If you want to invite guests to your house, after you return home, ask the steward to arrange for the invitations to be sent out." He agreed.

Fu Ran's brows relaxed.

She still didn't expect him to respond so readily.

"Thank you, Guo--, Xiuning." She smiled with her lips curved.

Wei Xuan half-closed his eyes.

She would only call him like this when she wanted something.

The Duke——

It sounds too official.

Wei Xiuning——

That's it.

Fu Ran returned home, washed and changed his clothes before going to pick up his daughter.

There are people coming and going in Sifang Pavilion, and today they have come into contact with those foreigners. She is an adult and it doesn't matter, but Wuyou is so young, so he still needs to pay attention to hygiene.

This is to avoid attracting any unclean things outside and getting Wuyou involved when he comes back.

Even if we can invite a famous doctor to come to our home to treat illnesses in this world, it does not prevent the world from being a time of shortage of medical care and medicine.

You have to rely on yourself to deal with minor problems, and you have to rely on yourself to deal with major problems.

There is always a feeling of resignation.

Most of the medicines we take are just for psychological comfort.

"Is Wuyou making a fuss today?" Fu Ran held his daughter in his arms. He missed her very much after not seeing her for a day.

If Dayue is really the world that Princess Lianxing described, she also hopes that Wei Xuan can change and help the emperor make Dayue more prosperous.

When Wuyou grew up, he lived in the prosperous era of Dayue.
