Chapter 1701: Surprise

Translator: Lonelytree

“Your son greets Imperial Father!” The moment the Crown Prince entered the royal study, he bowed to the Emperor.

“Stand up!” Yuwen Longyan asked,” The Crown Prince is here.”

Yuwen Yan Yu said,” Yes, father. May I know why Imperial Father is looking

for your son?”

Yuwen Longyan smiled and said,” It’s like this. The wedding date of Minister Jiang and my adopted daughter, Princess Guguo, has already been set. I want you to handle the matters of their marriage.”

Yuwen Yan Yu asked in surprise,” Father, has the marriage between the general and the princess of Guguo been decided? How come no one in the Imperial Court knows about this?”

Yuwen Longyan smiled and replied,” Yes, their marriage was decided two days ago. However, according to the girl’s request, before the marriage is finalized, this matter has not been made public.”

When the Crown Prince heard this, he asked in confusion,” Why? The Great

General and Princess Gu were a couple. They had been engaged for two years. It was time for them to get married. Since they’ve already decided to get married, why hide it?”

He was really puzzled by this.

Previously, his father had mentioned to him that the two of them were going to get married. However, what puzzled him was that when they were going to get married, why was there no news from the others in the capital? Even the Emperor had to hide it from them.

In the imperial court, the only people who knew about their marriage were the Emperor, the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor, and the Crown Prince.

In fact, he had wanted to ask this question a few days ago, but he had not asked it until then.

Now, hearing that they had even set a date and that the Emperor had entrusted their marriage to him, he could not help but ask.

Yuwen Longyan laughed out loud.” Haha, this girl said she wanted to give everyone a surprise.”

“Surprise?” The Crown Prince asked in confusion.

Their marriage was not a surprise to some people. Instead, it was a shock.

After all, ever since the princess of the Guguo had passed the age of adulthood, they had not even had any intention of getting married. There was all kinds of mockery and sarcasm behind their backs, and they wanted to watch the show.

Now, they were suddenly going to get married. Wasn’t that a slap to their faces?

Yuwen Longyan nodded.” That’s right. Yu ‘er, you should know Taoyuan Village, right?”

“Taoyuan Village?” The Crown Prince repeated and replied,” Of course 1 know.

Isn’t that where the Princess of Guguo is?”

“That’s right!” Yuwen Longyan nodded.” Taoyuan Village is where the girl is.

Back then, after she became independent from the Lin family village, she  stablished Taoyuan Village as a village and became a village chief herself.”

The Crown Prince listened quietly, but his heart was filled with curiosity.

Taoyuan Village was a mysterious place to everyone.

This was because many of the things in the Princess’ Inn came from Taoyuan Village.

Many forces wanted to take a share of the profits from Ni Lai Wo Wang Inn. Therefore, they wanted to investigate Taoyuan Village and find out how these things were raised.

However, what was amazing was that those who weren’t invited couldn’t find the entrance to Taoyuan Village when they arrived at the Lin Family Village. Moreover, when they entered a certain area, many things would happen.

For example, seeing what they feared the most.

It was said that the reason for this was because someone had set up a bewitching array at the village entrance.

Most people who didn’t understand formations or didn’t have a guide were either scared silly or crazy after coming out. Only a few people with stronger willpower escaped.

In short, there were already all kinds of rumours about Taoyuan Village.

However, apart from the people of Taoyuan Village, even the people of the surrounding villages didn’t know what the real Taoyuan Village was like.

Now, her father suddenly mentioned Taoyuan Village. He didn’t know why.

Yuwen Longyan continued, “Back then, when I was in Taoyuan Village, my days were so comfortable and carefree…” At this point, he realized that it was inappropriate for the Crown Prince to stand there and say this, so he said seriously, “The girl said that from the day she got married, Taoyuan Village will be fully open to the world.”
The Crown Prince was very surprised.

Taoyuan Village had become a mysterious place in the eyes of the world.

If it were open to the whole world, it would definitely have a huge impact on Lin Yuelan’s business.

How could Lin Yuelan not know?

No, with Lin Yuelan’s shrewdness, she definitely knew..
