Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"Min'er, you are right. If he marries me, he will really have to go to war." Yu Ran smiled deeply and whispered, "Only with courage can one gain a foothold in the army. Only after making military achievements can one have the ability to control all kinds of arrogant and reckless men in the army."

"Dad, do you really intend to use a prince as a pawn?" Yu Yang was shocked. "I'm afraid our Majesty will not agree, right?"

"When he was a prince, he would naturally not agree." Yu Ran smiled and whispered, "But now he is not a prince, but just a commoner."

Yu Min swallowed silently and asked weakly, "Could this also be what His Majesty meant?"

"No, this is Daddy's plan." Yu Ran looked out the window, sighed softly, and smiled bitterly, "Dad is now the Duke of Weiguo, holding the military power, so our family must become a royal family. Now that His Majesty has chosen a prince for me, it is the best arrangement."

Yu Min didn't dare to say anything else. She just looked at her sister, feeling mixed emotions. Yu Yang took a breath of cold air. He had never thought about these things this way.

"But, is the Sixth Prince willing?" Yu Yang asked cautiously after a long while.

Yu Ran smiled: "He would be willing to do so."

Yu Min frowned and sneered, "I'm afraid not."

"What's the difference between a prince without military power and a beast without claws and fangs?" Yu Ran sighed again, "Your Majesty chose us, and we chose him too. He was born in the royal family, so he can see these things more clearly than us. He is also a smart man, so he must understand."

"But, although he is not born of the same mother, he is the most beloved brother of the current Crown Prince! All the adult princes have been given fiefs, but he is the only one who remains in the capital and is entrusted with important tasks. Doesn't this mean that he is the most favored prince besides the Crown Prince?" Yu Min was puzzled. "Are we thinking too much? Could it be that after the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, he will still treat him harshly?"

"The world is unpredictable. With today's situation, there is no guarantee for the future." Yu Ran smiled. "It is written in history books that few princes, regardless of whether they have evil intentions or not, can live a peaceful life."

Now it seems that this marriage is no longer just a joke that the emperor made on the spur of the moment, but that the Yu family has been completely tied to the Sixth Prince. The two brothers of the Yu family looked at Yu Ran at a loss.

Yu Ran turned around and told the maid behind him, "Help me wash up."

"Sister, are you going out?" Yu Min asked hurriedly.

"Yes." Yu Ran chuckled twice and said, "Enter the palace."

"At this time?" Yu Yang exclaimed.

"Even corrupt officials are protected by other officials. Is it possible that no one will plead for the prince? What is going on?" Yu Ran smiled coldly.

"Lord Hong walks around the palace every day and is deeply loved by the current emperor and the prince. He and the Sixth Prince grew up together and are as close as brothers. How could he just stand by and watch?" Yu Min was surprised.

"Whether it's Lord Hong or Jinyun, they are all cliques and selfish when they go to plead for mercy. They are making excuses for the situation, but it's not reasonable. How can I go?" Yu Ran stood up and walked out, leaving only a sentence in his mouth, "After all, I am his wife-to-be and the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei. I am not going to argue, I am just going to plead for my future husband."

Yu Ran dressed up and hurried to the Forbidden City.

The sky gradually brightened and there were constant carriages and horses on the road. All the officials who had been negotiating in the palace for a day and a night finally got what they wanted and came out.

The Yu family's carriage was simple, but there was a very eye-catching family emblem printed on the most conspicuous part of the frame, which attracted everyone's attention.
