Chapter 369: Princess Marriage
Da Chu, Kyoto.
Su Yun sat quietly in the Su family's somewhat desolate courtyard, looking at the withered flowers and trees, her heart filled with helplessness and bitterness. She was the unfavored second daughter of the Su family, her mother having died young, and she had always lived a cautious life in the Su family, where even the servants could bully her at will.
Today, the Su family suddenly became bustling with activity. The reason was simple: the neighboring kingdom of Dayan had sent an envoy, seeking the hand of a princess from the Great Chu Kingdom for their third prince, Fu Qingyuan. This was supposed to be a major marriage between the two nations, but who could have imagined that the savage and headstrong Princess of the Great Chu Kingdom had eloped before the wedding, leaving the current emperor and Empress Su extremely anxious.
Empress Su was Su Yun's biological aunt, but she had always only cared for her own children and had never shown any genuine concern for her niece, Su Yun. But now, to prevent the marriage from falling through and causing conflict between the two countries, Empress Su came up with an absurd idea: to have Su Yun marry in her place.
When Su Yun heard the news, she was struck by lightning. She tried to resist, seeking an audience with Empress Su, crying out her grievances, but Empress Su remained indifferent. "Yun'er, you are also a daughter of the Su family. Your family is in trouble now, and it's your duty to contribute. Besides, the Third Prince of Dayan is of noble status. If you marry him, you might even enjoy wealth and glory in the future."
Su Yun knew she had no choice. In the Su family, her life and death, honor and disgrace, were not her own. She could only quietly return to the small courtyard, packing her simple bag, her heart filled with fear for the future.
Fu Qingyuan, far away in Dayan, was sitting in his mansion at this moment. Upon hearing that the Princess of Chu was approaching, a mocking smile curled his lips. He had always disliked this political marriage, believing it was merely a ploy for the two countries to exploit each other. Furthermore, he had heard that the Princess of Chu was a spoiled and unreasonable person, so he had no expectations for the upcoming marriage.
Soon, Su Yun's wedding day arrived. She wore a gorgeous yet heavy wedding gown, a phoenix crown, and a red veil embroidered with auspicious dragons and phoenixes. She slowly walked out of the Su family's home. The people around her cheered and praised this grand wedding, but only Su Yun knew she was heading into an unknown and potentially difficult future.
Sitting in the bridal sedan, Su Yun clutched her handkerchief tightly, her body swaying slightly with the swaying of the sedan. Along the way, she listened to the sounds of joy and bustle outside, but her thoughts drifted far away. She wondered what kind of person the Third Prince of Dayan was. Would he be angry with her for being a substitute bride, or would he simply ignore her and leave her to fend for herself in the palace?
When they reached the border between the two countries, they encountered a group of bandits. The bandit leader looked at the bride's escort and laughed heartily, saying, "We're so lucky today! We've encountered such a piece of fat meat delivered to our door! Brothers, grab it!"
Suddenly, the wedding procession was in chaos, with the guards drawing their swords and engaging the bandits. Su Yun trembled with fear in her bridal sedan chair; she had never experienced anything like it before, and she felt as if the breath of death was approaching.
At this moment, the welcoming team from Dayan arrived, led by Lin Xiao, Fu Qingyuan's trusted guard. Lin Xiao was a skilled martial artist and led his men to quickly repel the bandits and stabilize the situation.
Lin Xiao walked to the front of the bridal sedan and said respectfully, "Miss Su, oh no, now you should be called the Third Prince's Consort. The bandits have retreated, so please rest assured. We will arrive at the palace soon."
Su Yun said with a slightly trembling voice, "Thank you for the rescue, brave man." She felt a little relieved, but was still worried about her future life in the palace.
Finally, Su Yun arrived at the palace of the Third Prince of Dayan. The palace was decorated with lights and colors, and there was a festive atmosphere, but Su Yun felt that all this was out of tune with him.
She was surrounded by maids and servants and entered the palace. According to etiquette, she had to pay her respects to her parents-in-law first, but the Emperor and Empress of Dayan had long stopped asking about the Third Prince's affairs and just let them make their own arrangements, so Su Yun was led directly to the bridal chamber.
Fu Qingyuan was in the front hall entertaining guests who came to congratulate him. He drank glass after glass of wine, feeling very depressed. After waiting for the guests to disperse, he slowly walked towards the bridal chamber.
Pushing open the door, Fu Qingyuan saw Su Yun sitting upright on the edge of the bed. Her red wedding dress made her figure look graceful, but her veil had not been lifted yet, so he could not see her face.
Fu Qingyuan walked forward, a little drunk, and reached out to lift the red veil. When he saw Su Yun's face, he was slightly stunned. He had thought that the Princess of Chu would be flamboyant and gorgeous, but the woman in front of him had gentle eyebrows and eyes, revealing a weak yet stubborn temperament.
Su Yun raised her head and looked at the handsome yet aloof man in gorgeous clothes. She felt extremely nervous. She bit her lip and said softly, "I have met the Third Prince. Today I am honored to marry him. I will serve him wholeheartedly in the future."
Fu Qingyuan sneered, "Hmph, serving wholeheartedly? You, the Princess of Chu, are quite good at speaking politely, but I wonder what your plan is by suddenly marrying here in his place?"
Su Yun's eyes welled up when she heard this. She hurriedly explained, "Third Prince, you have misunderstood. I am not the Princess of Chu, but the Second Miss of the Su Family. I was forced by my family to marry here. I hope the Third Prince will forgive me."
Fu Qingyuan frowned, feeling somewhat surprised by the complicated situation. However, he didn't say anything more. He simply said, "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. This prince doesn't want to dwell on this. I just hope you don't do anything that would harm the palace in the future."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the couch beside him to lie down, no longer paying attention to Su Yun. Su Yun looked at his back, tears welling up in her eyes, but she forced herself to hold them back. She knew that now she could only slowly gain a foothold in this palace to survive.
Life in the palace wasn't easy at first. Although the servants didn't dare to treat Su Yun too badly in public, they were always criticizing her behind her back, thinking that she wasn't noble enough and wasn't worthy of the Third Prince.
Su Yun, however, paid no attention to the gossip. She would get up early every day, pay her respects to Fu Qingyuan, and then take care of the trivial matters in the palace. She was intelligent and managed the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner. Gradually, some of the servants changed their views of her.
Fu Qingyuan was always cold towards Su Yun at first and seldom spoke to her. But gradually, he found that this woman was not what he had imagined. She did not have the slightest princess airs, but was gentle and kind, and treated everyone in the palace with great care.
Once, Fu Qingyuan was accidentally injured while practicing martial arts in the training grounds. When Su Yun learned about it, she rushed over and anxiously checked his injuries. She personally went to the pharmacy to get medicine and carefully applied it to Fu Qingyuan, muttering, "Third Prince, you must be more careful next time. What if this injury is more serious?"
Fu Qingyuan looked at her serious and concerned expression, and his heart moved inexplicably. He had never felt such sincere care. From childhood to adulthood, in this royal family full of intrigues, the feelings between people were always based on some considerations of interests.
He said softly, "It's just a minor injury. Thank you for your concern."
Su Yun raised her head, looked at him, and smiled slightly, "You are my husband, it is only natural for me to care about you."
From then on, Fu Qingyuan's attitude towards Su Yun gradually became gentler, and there began to be a different atmosphere between the two of them. Occasionally, they would take a walk together in the garden of the palace, chatting about poetry, calligraphy and painting, and they got along quite well.
However, the peaceful days did not last long. In the palace of Dayan, a struggle for the throne was quietly unfolding.
The Crown Prince of Dayan was ruthless and ambitious. He had always regarded Fu Qingyuan as a thorn in his side. He thought Fu Qingyuan was extremely talented and was well-supported by some court officials. He was afraid that he would threaten his position as Crown Prince in the future.
The second prince was a man with a dagger hidden in his heart. On the surface, he was on good terms with Fu Qingyuan, but secretly he often spoke ill of Fu Qingyuan in front of the emperor, hoping to suppress him with the emperor's help.
Fu Qingyuan knew he was in a vortex, so he acted more cautiously. But even so, trouble still came to him.
One day, the emperor suddenly summoned Fu Qingyuan to the palace, saying he had important matters to discuss. Upon entering, Fu Qingyuan discovered that it was the crown prince who had impeached him in front of the emperor, accusing him of colluding with the State of Chu for ill-intentioned purposes. The alleged evidence was Su Yun, a woman from Chu who had been brought in as a substitute bride.
The emperor looked at Fu Qingyuan with a gloomy expression. "Qingyuan, do you have anything to explain? The Princess of Chu was replaced for no reason. Are you really unaware of this? Are you secretly plotting something?"
Fu Qingyuan quickly knelt down and said sincerely, "Father, I have absolutely nothing to say. Su Yun is the second daughter of the Su family. She was forced into marriage by the Chu royal family, and I was not aware of this beforehand. I am solely devoted to Dayan. How could I do such a thing as colluding with another country? Someone must be maliciously framing me."
After hearing his explanation, the emperor's expression softened slightly, but he still said, "I will send someone to investigate this matter. Please behave yourself for the time being and don't cause any more trouble."
After Fu Qingyuan thanked him, he left the palace and returned to the palace, his face still looking grim. Su Yun was worried when she saw him like this, and only after asking her did she know what had happened.
Su Yun held Fu Qingyuan's hand and said firmly, "Third Prince, I will find a way to prove our innocence and will never let that villain succeed."
Fu Qingyuan looked at her, moved, and nodded. "Thank you for your help. However, the palace is full of twists and turns. You must be careful in the future."
In order to clear Fu Qingyuan's name, Su Yun began to secretly investigate the matter. Relying on the connections she had made in the palace and the ability to read people's expressions that she had learned since childhood in the Su family, she gradually explored clues.
Finally, she discovered that it was the prince who bribed a servant in the palace to forge some letters with the intention of slandering Fu Qingyuan for colluding with the State of Chu.
After Su Yun obtained the evidence, he did not hesitate to go to the palace with Fu Qingyuan to meet the emperor. The emperor looked at the irrefutable evidence and was furious. He immediately ordered the prince to be severely punished and imprisoned in the East Palace, ordering him to reflect on his mistakes.
Because of this incident, Fu Qingyuan's position in the emperor's heart became more solid. The emperor valued him more and more, thinking that he was a capable prince because he was able to remain calm when being wronged and was able to find evidence to prove his innocence.
After this incident, Fu Qingyuan looked at Su Yun with even greater respect. He felt that he had married a treasure. After returning to the palace, he looked at Su Yun with deep affection in his eyes, "Yun'er, this time is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have found it difficult to escape this predicament."
Su Yun smiled slightly, "Husband, you and I are one, and we should share joys and sorrows. As long as you are okay, that's all that matters."
The relationship between the two grew deeper after this incident. Fu Qingyuan began to take Su Yun to some important occasions. Su Yun also won the admiration of many ministers and noble ladies with her intelligence and elegance, and gradually gained fame in the upper class circles of Dayan.
As they spend more and more time together, the relationship between Fu Qingyuan and Su Yun continues to heat up.
On weekdays, Fu Qingyuan would specially find some rare calligraphy and paintings for Su Yun, just because he knew that she liked them; and Su Yun would personally make some exquisite snacks for Fu Qingyuan, and seeing his satisfied look when he tasted them, she also felt happy.
Once, the palace held a spring banquet and invited many princes and nobles. At the banquet, everyone recited poems and composed couplets, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Fu Qingyuan looked at Su Yun with love in his eyes. He said to Su Yun softly, "Yun'er, it's such a beautiful day today. How about you write a poem to liven up the atmosphere?"
Su Yun nodded slightly, and after a moment's thought, he chanted, "Spring flowers bloom in the courtyard, and the fragrance fills the hall. The dancing swallows and the chirping orioles illuminate the hall. The time spent with you is wonderful. May this warm and loving time last forever."
Everyone praised Su Yun's talent and said, "Fu Qingyuan was even more proud. He held Su Yun's hand and said, "Yun'er, your poem touched my heart. It is my great honor to be able to accompany you."
At night, the two of them strolled hand in hand in the palace garden, the moonlight shining on them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze. Fu Qingyuan suddenly stopped, embraced Su Yun in his arms, bent down and gently kissed her forehead, "Yun'er, I think I have really fallen in love with you. In the days to come, no matter the wind and rain, I am willing to spend time with you hand in hand."
Su Yun's cheeks flushed, tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged Fu Qingyuan tightly and said, "My husband, I feel the same way. I wish to stay with you forever and never leave you."
But just as they were immersed in this sweet love, news came from the State of Chu.
It turns out that the man who eloped with the Princess of Chu was actually a spy from another country. He approached the princess and obtained many secrets of the Chu State. Now the royal family of Chu has discovered this and wants to get the princess back, but feels ashamed, so they set their sights on Su Yun.
The Emperor of Chu sent someone to deliver a letter to the Emperor of Dayan, saying that Su Yun was originally the daughter of the Su family, and that marrying her off was against etiquette. He asked Dayan to send Su Yun back to Chu, and they would choose another real princess to marry.
After receiving the letter, the Emperor of Great Yan summoned Fu Qingyuan to the palace to discuss the matter. Upon hearing this, Fu Qingyuan immediately objected, "Father, Su Yun and I are deeply in love, and she is now my princess. How can I send her back to Chu so carelessly? Moreover, the princess of Chu eloped like that, so how can she be worthy of marrying into Great Yan again?"
The emperor was somewhat troubled. After all, the relationship between the two countries also needed to be considered. He said, "I need to consider this matter carefully. You should go back first. I will make a decision after I have thought it over."
Fu Qingyuan returned to the palace worriedly and told Su Yun about this. Su Yun was also panicked after hearing this. She was afraid that she would really be sent back to Chu State, and what kind of fate would be waiting for her.
But she still pretended to be calm and comforted Fu Qingyuan, "Husband, don't worry too much. There will always be a way. Let's think of a solution together."
Fu Qingyuan looked at her and held her hand tightly. "Yun'er, I will never let you leave me, even if it means becoming an enemy of the State of Chu."
In order to prevent Su Yun from being sent back to Chu, Fu Qingyuan began to contact some ministers who supported him in the court, asking them to advise the emperor on the various benefits Su Yun had gained in Dayan and the possible negative effects of sending her back to Chu.
At the same time, Su Yun also wrote a sincere letter and asked someone to pass it to the Emperor of Chu. In the letter, she recounted her life in Dayan and her feelings towards Dayan, stating that she had long regarded Dayan as her home, and if she was forcibly sent back, it would only increase the rift between the two countries.
The queen of Dayan, after learning about Su Yun's character, admired her very much. She spoke well of her to the emperor and advised him not to agree to Chu's request.
After much effort, the Emperor of Dayan finally decided to reject Chu's request and let Su Yun continue to stay in Dayan and stay with Fu Qingyuan.
When they heard the news, Fu Qingyuan and Su Yun both breathed a sigh of relief. They hugged each other and cried, as if they had survived a disaster.
Su Yun wiped away her tears, looked at Fu Qingyuan, and said with a smile: "Husband, we finally don't have to separate. We must live well in the days to come."
Fu Qingyuan nodded and looked at her affectionately, "Of course, Yun'er. After this incident, I understand even more clearly how important you are to me. I will definitely cherish you and protect you throughout your life."
In the days that followed, Fu Qingyuan and Su Yun lived a happy and stable life in Dayan.
Relying on his talents and the emperor's favor, Fu Qingyuan gradually gained a foothold in the court, did many practical things for the people of Dayan, and was deeply loved by the people.
Su Yun, on the other hand, was in charge of all the affairs in the palace, making it warm and harmonious. He also often did good deeds among the people, helping the poor people, and won everyone's praise.
A few years later, Fu Qingyuan was named Prince of Yan by the Emperor, and Su Yun became his consort. They had a son and a daughter, and lived a happy life as a family.
Whenever Su Yun recalled the tortuous past, she would feel deeply moved. She was glad that although she had no choice but to marry in a different marriage, she met a man like Fu Qingyuan who treated her sincerely. Fu Qingyuan also felt that Su Yun was the most precious gift given to him by God, making his life complete and beautiful.
They walked through countless springs, summers, autumns and winters hand in hand, and they loved each other deeply during these long years. Their story was also passed down by people in the land of Dayan and became a beautiful tale.
