Chapter 405 You Will Be My Daughter From Now On
Chapter 405 You Will Be My Daughter From Now On
At night, it was dark.
Prince Rui hurried back to the General's Mansion.
Behind him followed the emperor's chief eunuch, Eunuch Qiao.
Everyone in the general's mansion hurriedly designed the incense table.
Everyone knelt to listen to the imperial edict
"Shu~"
Eunuch Qiao opened the imperial edict:
"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:
Since ancient times, sage kings have always put benevolence and virtue first in governing their countries, and have opened up a wide range of avenues for talent, without any restrictions.
I have heard that there is a girl named Yun Wanyue, who is only five years old. She is intelligent and kind-hearted, and has been born with natural beauty. She has shown extraordinary appearance since she was young.
Born into a prominent family, his family has been loyal and righteous for generations and has made great contributions to the country. He is truly a loyal and devoted minister to me.
It is truly a gift from God and a blessing for the country.
I was very pleased to hear this. Considering that the royal family is as close as one family, I have bestowed this special honor upon you to express my gratitude.
Today, my Prince Rui Sima Hui is the hope of the royal family. He is both virtuous and talented, has the world in his heart, and has made many good friends.
In view of the deep connection between Prince Rui and me, I specially grant Yun Wanyue as the adopted daughter of Prince Rui Sima Hui to show my approval and to demonstrate the grace of the royal family.
From now on, Yun Wanyue will be conferred the title of first-rank princess, enjoying the honor of a princess, with a fief of 1,000 households, and a gift of 1,000 taels of gold and 100 pieces of brocade to commend her virtue and to encourage future generations.
Princess Yun Wanyue hopes to accept the emperor's grace, share my worries, and benefit the country.
All the officials and people of our dynasty should take this as an example, study diligently, be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and work together to build our great country and consolidate our foundation for eternity.
I hope all officials and people will share my heart and celebrate this joy together.
Admire this! "
After reading the imperial edict, Eunuch Qiao smiled at the little kid who was dozing off right under his eyelids.
Ah Cai immediately shook off her sleepiness, opened her eyes wide, and said loudly in a childish voice, "Yun Wanyue accepts the order!"
Uncle Li Muyang quickly gave Eunuch Qiao a purse and invited him into the main hall to rest for a while.
Eunuch Qiao squeezed his purse lightly and knew what was going on.
He saluted everyone with a smile, "I have something else to do at home. Your Majesty is not waiting for a reply. I will go back first. Goodbye!"
...
Prince Rui drank several cups of tea in the main hall before he recovered a little.
He sat down, gasping for breath and trying to calm his breathing.
Seeing this, Taoist Jiugong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did anyone enter the palace earlier than you?"
Prince Rui nodded repeatedly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Seventh Brother's actions this time are truly puzzling! How could a little girl like Yue'er hinder him? He actually went to the palace to report that the Li family was so powerful that they even ignored the royal family..."
As Prince Rui spoke, he glanced at Sima Nan with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "What does my family's affairs have to do with the Seventh Prince? It's really annoying! If I hadn't entered the palace in time, I'm afraid many more incidents would have arisen!"
General Li fell into deep thought. After some consideration, he decided to let the female soldiers put the sacks on Liu and others. He also discovered that the spies...
"There must be someone high up behind them protecting them. It could even be the Seventh King. But what does this have to do with him?"
Li Mufeng also began to think divergently, "If Liu is his woman, then it makes sense, but there is really no need for him to come forward for her!"
At this time, Acai was sitting quietly in her fifth uncle's arms, closing her eyes, and some past scenes of the original owner kept appearing in her mind.
He said casually, "Aren't the Yun family twins the Seventh Prince's?"
"Sigh~"
Everyone looked at Acai.
Ah Cai was also confused. Wasn't the scene she just saw the scene where Xiaoyue overheard Liu passing a message to a woman, wanting to meet the Seventh Prince?
In other words, the reason the original owner died was because he overheard something he shouldn't have heard?
Li Bijun quickly picked up Ah Cai and said, "Yue'er, did you remember something?"
A Cai covered her head and asked, "What do you say?"
"I remember a scene where my aunt ordered a maid to tell the Seventh Prince that the twins missed their father."
Ah Cai didn't care and just lied and made up stories and told them to others.
But she didn't know that what she said was basically the truth, she just moved the timeline forward.
It's almost the truth, and almost close to the truth.
Prince Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to hide the vicious look in them.
He wondered to himself: How could the Seventh Brother be connected to the spies? Had he lost his mind? With his father in good health, it was practically impossible for him to ascend to the throne. His only hope was to have his grandchildren inherit the throne. Was the Seventh Brother, desperate for power, willing to do anything to achieve it?
At this time, Ah Cai muttered softly, "There are all kinds of strange things in this world. Some people even secretly replace other people's children. Things like stealing a dragon and switching it to a phoenix, or replacing a prince with a cat, can happen..."
Her words caught the attention of those around her, but they didn't know whether what Acai said was related to the current situation.
Suddenly, Prince Rui slapped the armrest of his chair vigorously and said through gritted teeth, "I must find out whether Old Seven is from the Sima family!"
He turned his head, stared at Taoist Jiugong with sharp eyes, and said in a firm tone: "Master, I still need your help this time."
Taoist Jiugong looked at Acai silently, and liked her more and more.
This girl doll is so amazing, every word she says seems to have magical power.
He decided to change his original intention and no longer stay out of the matter. Instead, he was willing to help King Rui investigate the matter.
He nodded in agreement.
After all, with Acai around, everything becomes interesting.
Prince Rui was completely relieved and slowly glanced at the Li family members and his sons around him, especially the second son Sima Nan.
"You guys tonight..."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Li family quickly stood up and said in unison, "We didn't hear anything tonight. We just witnessed the process of the prince taking in his adopted daughter..."
Nonsense, who would dare to tell others about this kind of thing?
This is a serious crime that could cost you your life!
The reason why Prince Rui directly left this matter to the Li family was to drag the Li family into the water and let everyone bear the consequences together.
When Sima Nan felt his father's gaze sweep over him, he immediately stated, "I don't know anything. I just have a new sister. From now on, I will listen to my sister and never contradict her!"
After hearing his promise, King Rui was satisfied and let him go.
This son is really mentally retarded, he needs to be taught a lesson!
snort!
Prince Rui turned to look at General Li and said firmly, "I will have the Crown Prince give the Yun family a warning so that they won't dare to act recklessly."
Then, he looked at Yun Wanyue and added, "By the way, the old lady of the Yun family, Qiu, has already moved out. She lives in the mansion next to your general's mansion!"
When Ah Cai heard this, her eyes widened and she shouted excitedly, "Beautiful!"
Prince Rui took Ah Cai in his arms, a look of delight on his face. "Haha, from now on, you are my daughter. Tell me, what are your requests? As long as they are not too excessive, I will satisfy you."
Ah Cai was slightly stunned, then opened her mouth, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "I want the Liu family to compensate me, after all, they took my gift...
Besides, I don’t want my grandmother to have anything to do with the Yun family…”
Prince Rui smiled slightly, gently weighed Ah Cai in his hand, and said in a relaxed tone, "This is just a small matter. Don't worry, the Liu family should send someone to deliver the compensation tomorrow."
He paused, a shrewd glint in his eyes. "As for that family, it's really a bit confusing. They're all Liu family, but they seem so disharmony. It's really interesting."
