The Eldest Daughter Reborn: She Provoked the Obsessive Crown Prince and Couldn't Escape

The arrogance of the gatekeepers of the Right Beiping Prince's Mansion when they were gossiping vanished, and in the end, it was the leader who went with a stiff upper lip.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the man came out looking relaxed;

Others might have thought it was fine, but Hua Luo sneered, "So your prince is going to kick us out again?"

"No, no! It was all a misunderstanding on our part that caused the county magistrate to misunderstand the prince;"

"His Highness has prepared fine tea and gifts to welcome the County Lady!"

Fu Luan, her eyes narrowed, entered the Youbeiping Prefecture in a grand procession, surrounded by maids and servants. The chief secretary of the Prince's Mansion personally led her to a side hall.

"The prince will be here soon, please wait a moment, Lady." The chief clerk was a fifth-rank official, and was certainly more polite than those unruly servants at the gate.

"Why is it a side hall?" Fu Luan frowned.

The chief clerk said with a forced smile, "The prince treats the county magistrate as family, so naturally..."

"Don't try to fool me, Chief Secretary. Whether it's the Prince's residence or the Princess's residence;"

"Historically, distinguished guests are received in the main hall, while insignificant people are received in the side hall."

“I know that to your prince, I am indeed nothing more than an insignificant abandoned woman;”

"But what about 'Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow'... If Your Highness no longer needs it, then I might as well take it with me!"

Fu Luan was sobbing and crying. The chief clerk had only said a few words of comfort to her when she cried even louder!

The chief secretary of the Prince's mansion had no choice but to report to Yuan Lu, who eventually took Fu Luan to the main hall.

While waiting, Fu Luan quickly swept some rouge onto the corners of her eyes and under her eyes;

When Yuan Lu came in, he saw that her eyes were red and swollen as if she had been crying, so he couldn't scold her too harshly.

"Hmph, you bastard... You've really screwed me over this time, I haven't even cried yet!"

"You still know how to cry?" Yuan Lu spat.

Fu Luan rose, sobbing, and bowed. She choked out, "Your Highness, where have you suffered such an injustice that you're taking it out on me?"

Yuan Lu retorted angrily, "Hmph, how dare you say that? Who is it that I was demoted to the heir apparent and had my salary halved?"

"Who in all of Chang'an doesn't know this now? What are you pretending for? If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out of here!"

"Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry all day! You've cried your way out of my position as crown prince, and now you can't even keep my title as a county prince!"

Fu Luan feigned innocence and said, "Oh, the heir apparent is second only to the prince and higher than the county prince. Your Highness has been promoted in rank?"

Why do you feel like you've been 'demoted'? Congratulations, Your Highness!

Fu Luan blinked her big, clear eyes; even Yuan Lu couldn't bear to be too harsh on her.

After all, the chance to turn the tide still lies in their hands!

Moreover, Fu Luan had always given him this feeling of both love and hate, of being close yet distant...

"Stop pretending! Hey, are you even from the Great Wei?"

Even ordinary people know that this so-called 'successor king' title is just something that sounds nice...

"Hey, I haven't even asked you yet, and you're already acting like you're in charge? What kind of terrible ideas are you giving me, huh?"

"What 'Consort Kuri's affair'! Bah! In the end, I was demoted;

"Your lover has been promoted to a prince, and he's about to climb back to the Eastern Palace!" Yuan Lu said disdainfully to Fu Luan.

But he still kept rambling on and on, explaining for a long time before finally realizing why he had let Fu Luan in.

Fu Luan wiped the saliva that had sprayed onto her face and forced a smile: "Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Yuan Lu was completely baffled: "What's there to be happy about? What's there to be happy about? It's just bad luck!"

Fu Luan offered a "reminder": "Your Highness, think about it. If the Emperor truly intends to reinstate the Ninth Prince as Crown Prince;

"Why not just go all the way and simply bestow upon him the title of 'Prince of Yan'? Forget about his salary and power for now."

"The status of the 'Heir Apparent' is higher than that of the 'Prince of the Commandery,' which is clearly written in the ancestral precepts of the Great Wei Dynasty. Even if our ancestors crawled out of the house, they couldn't change it!"

"Your Highness is truly well protected by the Emperor! The Emperor is merely protecting you."

"I was just afraid that your intelligence would be too conspicuous and make the other princes jealous!"

"If you don't believe me, let me ask you this: Has His Majesty replaced anyone in charge of the alliance with the Xianbei?"

"This... there really isn't!" Yuan Lu was a complete fool, and he had been given pointers by someone behind his back before;

Now that he's separated from the "expert," he's reverted to his foolish nature, and Fu Luan can easily sway him with just a few words.

"Isn't that it? If the Emperor truly disliked you, how could he entrust such an important matter to you?"

"I have brought the 'Flying Horse of Gansu' today; firstly, to keep my promise, and secondly, to congratulate Your Highness on being promoted to 'Heir Apparent'."

"This third one... is to relieve Your Highness's urgent need!" As soon as Fu Luan took out the Flying Horse, Yuan Lu's eyes widened in amazement.

With this treasure, the alliance is now settled!

He immediately forgot all his dissatisfaction with Fu Luan;

More importantly, he felt that Fu Luan still cared about him after all;

Otherwise, why would she do so much for herself?

It seems my appearance still has some use to women; perhaps Fu Luan is feeling lonely in her boudoir and has been thinking of him quite a bit...

With Fu Luan's help this time, he felt as if he were getting closer and closer to the gates of the Eastern Palace.

"Honey, I..."

"Who are you calling 'wife'?" Fu Luan asked disdainfully.

Yuan Lu was fooled by Fu Luan and even began to feel that he was really in the wrong first;

He quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I was wrong before, and I apologize to you..."

"Hmph!" Fu Luan feigned arrogance and continued to ignore him.

"Your Highness, this is not the fault of our County Magistrate."

"Just now at the gate..." Hua Luo recounted to Yuan Lu the ridicule and insults he had suffered at the gate.

"Tie up those lowly servants at the gate and throw them in the stable! Tell them, this is our princess!"

"How dare they insult us? They've gone against our teachings!" Yuan Lu made no mention of what he had done to Fu Luan, only ordering the servants to be beaten and scolded.

Fu Luan had intended to take this opportunity to vent his anger; however, upon hearing the words "stable," his face suddenly darkened, and he lost all interest.

In her past life, she was turned into a human pig and eventually died in a stable!

At that time, his two children had died tragically, and the entire Fu clan had been wiped out.

The world's prosperity and suffering are no longer relevant to her...

"The child..." Thinking of the child, Fu Luan unconsciously placed her hand on her stomach;

She longed for her two children who had lived inside her for nine months...

When Fu Zhengzheng threw the child to his death, Yuan Lu clapped and cheered, and even told Fu Zhengzheng to stomp on the child twice!

How could she not hate him? She wished she could tear Yuan Lu to pieces right here and now!

"Wife, wife, just stay here! We're going to..."

"After the Xianbei envoy left, I went to my father to discuss the matter of being restored to the throne."

“You…” Yuan Lu excitedly imagined life after reconciling with Fu Luan.

Fu Luan said coldly, "No need! I have other matters to attend to at my residence."

"Your Highness should live this life on your own!"
