The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1519: Chapter 1514: Don’t Want to Marry, Still Have to Marry

“Yun’er!” Imperial Consort Yu reprimanded her softly.

Rong Yun still pouted in defiance, regardless of how much effort and persuasion Imperial Consort Yu expended all afternoon, she refused to consent.

By the time for the evening meal, Crown Prince Rong Yuanzhao hurriedly arrived, having heard that his sister was back, he rushed over after concluding court affairs, hoping to dine with her.

Upon seeing Rong Yuanzhao, Rong Yun immediately ran towards him, “Crown Prince brother!”

Rong Yuanzhao hugged her and tousled her hair, his gaze warm as he looked her over, “Jingjing is becoming more beautiful by the day, truly a treasure of Beiling City.”

Clasping his arm, Rong Yun walked with him towards Imperial Consort Yu, where Rong Yuanzhao paid his respects.

Seeing him, Imperial Consort Yu’s headache from the afternoon seemed to ease, she waved her hand, “Sit, sit, your troublesome sister, I actually hope that she was not a treasure of Beiling City, then we wouldn’t have the current marriage issue.”

A faint sorrow laced Imperial Consort Yu’s eyes. How could she bear to send her beloved daughter, who she had cherished for over a decade, to marry far away into another country?

Yet the situation in the court did not permit her the luxury to keep Rong Yun by her side.

With the emperor seriously ill and her son dealing with every major and minor affair of the court, the more necessary it was to avoid providing any faults for others to pick on. Rong Yun would reach the age of marriage in just over a year, and as per the royal customs of Beiling City, a princess must be betrothed after reaching this age, especially a princess not born from the Middle Palace, who thus needed to be married off early.

Although she and Rong Yuanzhao were favored, she was not the empress, and Rong Yuanzhao was not of direct descent. If Rong Yuanzhao were to succeed the throne, he would need a powerful backing, otherwise the empress and her sons would not spare them!

The Great Wei Dynasty was the best support, her maternal family was related to the Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty, and thus she initiated the proposal, thinking of the path to betroth Rong Yun to Qin Muyan for an alliance through marriage.

Qin Muyan was well-known and highly regarded by the Wei emperor in the Great Wei Dynasty, a potential heir to the throne, and he had not yet welcomed a Princess, making him the best choice.

Thus, Imperial Consort Yu immediately summoned Rong Yun back, in hopes of hastening this marriage.

To her surprise, Rong Yun did not agree, acting like a resentful child!

Crown Prince Rong Yuanzhao was also reluctant to marry Rong Yun off, seating her beside himself, he gazed at her with pity, “Jingjing is not yet of marriageable age, it is too early to discuss marriage, let alone with Qin Muyan who, despite his outstanding achievements, is indeed much older than Jingjing.”

“You do know that your father is thirty years older than I am. According to what you two are saying, it seems I don’t make a good Imperial Consort either, do I?” Imperial Consort Yu was so angry that she glared at Rong Yuanzhao, as if blaming him for his shortsightedness.

Rong Yuanzhao immediately bowed his head and ceased to speak; of course, he was not shortsighted, he simply couldn’t bear to part with his sister.

She was the treasure of Beiling City that he and the emperor and his mother had cherished for over a decade.

Unable to outstubborn Imperial Consort Yu, she informed the emperor of the situation, and the two countries exchanged marriage documents, the imperial astrologers revealed their compatibility through horoscopes, and their wedding was set.

Half a year later, once Rong Yun turned fourteen, she would be sent to the Great Wei Kingdom.

Qin Muyan would marry her with full Great Wei ceremonial honors.

During the half year before her marriage, Rong Yun cried nearly every day, smashing things around the Princess’s Manor into a sorry state, then causing havoc in the palace where Imperial Consort Yu resided.

However, no matter how much commotion she made, in the early spring of the following year, she still found herself seated in a carriage bound for the Great Wei Dynasty.

Before boarding the carriage, she clung desperately to Rong Yuanzhao’s sleeve, “Crown Prince brother, I don’t want to leave Beiling City, don’t want to leave mother! Why won’t mother come to see me? I… I’m scared!”

Tears welled up in Rong Yuanzhao’s eyes, he knew that marrying her off to a faraway place was for his own benefit, that he had wronged her, but he had no other choice.

He placed a small pot with a plant in Rong Yun’s hand, speaking softly, “This is a peach blossom branch, brother has been tending to it for half a year, and it has only just sprouted three buds. Beiling City, with its heavy snow, simply can’t sustain peach blossoms, but Great Wei is different, the capital of Great Wei is warm and congenial, brother wants to see the peach blossoms bloom anew. When Jingjing goes to Great Wei, will you take care of this peach blossom for brother, and let it flourish, alright?”

Holding the small pot, Rong Yun pouted and sobbed quietly, “Alright… But will brother come to see Jingjing? Jingjing misses brother, misses mother.”

“Alright, when brother has the time, he will definitely go to Great Wei to see Jingjing.”

Rong Yuanzhao smiled, his round cheeks bunching up a bit.

Rong Yun reached out, touching Rong Yuanzhao’s face.

Men from Beiling City were not particularly tall, and tended to be somewhat plump, but she was most accustomed to and fond of such round faces.

Rong Yun sat in the carriage, crying all the way.

Remembering the portrait that she had drawn with a turtle on it, the person in the portrait, Qin Muyan, was so tall and his face not round at all—real life must make him even uglier!

She would have to leave home, and marry someone so ugly; just the thought saddened her and made her cry even harder.

By the time she cried all the way to Great Wei, she fainted right before disembarking the carriage.

Qin Muyan, leading the welcoming entourage at the capital’s gates, had yet to receive his fiancée, the princess, when he heard that she had fainted from crying in the carriage. He quickly brought her into the palace and summoned several court physicians.

In Cining Palace, he reported this event to Qin Ge and the Empress Dowager, both of whom were shocked.

When Qin Rulie arrived, he cast a skeptical look at Qin Muyan, “Surely it wasn’t because you were too intimidating upon meeting that you scared the little princess into fainting?”

Qin Muyan shook his head helplessly, “Your Highness hasn’t even seen her face, how could I have frightened her into fainting?”

Qin Ge was somewhat annoyed, “This treasured princess from Beiling City is too delicate, fainting before the national ceremonies have even begun. With such weakness, how can she be fit to be Mu Yan’s Princess?”

Originally, Qin Ge had been very supportive of this marriage. Qin Muyan, because of Su Yingxue, had not married for many years, and hadn’t even taken a secondary consort. Now that Su Yingxue was the empress of Great Cheng Dynasty, there was no possibility left for her and Qin Muyan, and he had gradually let go in his heart. Princess Beiling, being of noble status, was just the right match for Qin Muyan.

She had asked for Qin Muyan’s opinion, and after much consideration, he felt that marrying this princess would be beneficial to both the country and himself, so he agreed to the marriage.

Qin Ge was delighted at the time; he had finally let go of Su Yingxue and was willing to accept another woman to become his Princess.

But before long, she learned some inside information; she heard that this treasured princess of Beiling City was not only thirteen years old but also willful, capricious, and spoiled, often hitting and scolding those around her, without proficiency in any of the arts.

She immediately felt a chill, becoming anxious and uneasy.

Now, hearing the news that this little princess had just arrived in Great Wei and fainted before even seeing Qin Muyan, her unease grew.

At this moment, Qin Rulie was also frowning, “The Princess of Beiling City has already arrived in Great Wei, it’s impossible to call off the wedding now, especially since her dowry included ten carriages of ore that have already been delivered to the Ministry of War and are ready to be transported to the Weaponry Bureau.”
