It was none other than the old patriarch Hong of the Shangguan family and another slightly younger elder, Shangguan Qing, who had just taken over the position of patriarch.

Patriarch Hong was nearly eighty years old and gave way to Patriarch Qing.

He is the oldest man in the Shangguan family and has the highest prestige.

Following behind was An Yi.

Xian was invited by An Yi.

"Your Highness, why did you invite us here?" Patriarch Hong asked Yuan Xi as soon as he came in.

"Please take a seat, both clan leaders." The prince pointed at the guest seat, "Both clan leaders, I want to adopt Shangguan Ru into my name, and from now on she will be the eldest daughter of my Rong Palace, so I specially invite you two to be witnesses."

The two clan leaders of course also knew Shangguan Ru's background, and they looked at Shangguan Ru with sympathy.

"Your Highness, this is a very good idea." Patriarch Hong agreed very much with the prince's move.

After hearing what the prince said, Zhong Weiliang finally understood the purpose of the prince and princess' visit, and he finally put his heart at ease.

"What does Miss Ru mean?" Qingzu looked at Shangguan Ru, who had just wiped away her tears and got up from the ground.

"It is Ru'er's great fortune to be recognized as my uncle." Shangguan Ru was of course willing.

In this world, only her uncle's family treats her as a relative.

In the past, she always thought that she and her daughter would depend on each other for life.

Her daughter was her only relative, and she didn’t expect that someone would be willing to marry her, so her sister-in-law persuaded her.

She will have her own home in the future.

Today, she never expected that her uncle would come in person to adopt her into the eldest son's family.

She couldn't bear to reject this family affection no matter what.

"Good, very good." The head of the Qing clan was pleased to see this. "In this case, bring in the tea today, and I will change your name from the family tree to the direct branch of the Rong Palace."

The prince and princess sat on the throne, and Shangguan Ru knelt respectfully in front of them.

The maid brought hot tea and Shangguan Ru took it gently.

"Father, please have some tea."

The prince took it naturally, took a sip, then took out a life card from his arms and gave it to her.

This is unique to the direct descendants of Prince Rong's Mansion.

Shangguan Ru took it respectfully and was so excited that she was about to cry again.

But she knew that this was not the time to cry, and she tried hard to suppress the tears.

He picked up another cup of tea and knelt down before the princess.

"Mother, please have some tea."

"Okay, okay." The princess took it with a smile and took a sip.

Then he took out a gift from his arms, a top-quality gold and jade bracelet, and put it on her on the spot.

Shangguan Ru took two steps back, bowed down, and kowtowed heavily several times.

"I, Shangguan Ru, pay my respects to my father, the king, and my mother. I will definitely be filial to you and enjoy your presence in the future."

"Okay." The prince acknowledged his daughter with just one simple word.

The next day.

The princess sent the butler Li to bring people to help Shangguan Ru move.

Xiao Yue'er came to the palace again and ran into the courtyard happily.

When she came home from school yesterday, her mother told her that they were going to move to the palace. She was so happy that she wanted to move in last night.

She really likes playing with Dabao and the others.

Since moving out of the palace, she no longer has any playmates.

Even when she went to school, no one wanted to play with her.

Everyone rejected her, and some even privately said that she was a fatherless child and an unlucky person.

But she didn't dare tell her mother what she was doing in school, for she was afraid that her mother would be sad.

So go every day happily and come back happily.

She never let her mother know her feelings, and as long as she listened carefully to the teacher's lectures and learned something, it didn't matter if she had no friends.

But when she rushed into the courtyard, she didn't see her three favorite friends.

Only my aunt is here.

But she was not disappointed.

"Aunt." Xiao Yue'er saw little Mengyao and called her politely.

But Xiao Mengyao, who was only four years old, no longer remembered her.

"Sister, this is Xiao Yue'er, the daughter of Sister Ru. She played with you when you were very young." Yu Yuanzheng introduced her to her younger sister.

Yu Yuanzheng did not leave the house today, but waited at home for Shangguan Ru and her daughter to move in.

Yu Yuanzheng took Xiao Yue'er's hand and put it in Xiaomei's hand.

"Come, get to know each other again. You will be a family from now on, so you must get along well with each other."

Xiao Mengyao looked at the two people's clasped hands curiously.

"Xiao Yue'er, come play with building blocks with me." Xiao Jun was very happy to invite his new friend to play together.

Last night, her mother had told her several times that she would have a big sister from today on. And the big sister would bring a little niece to play with her.

She waited.

The two little guys immediately became familiar with each other.

At this time, Shangguan Ru, who was lagging behind, came in.

"Sister-in-law." Shangguan Ru squatted down shyly.

"Come on, mother is waiting for you in the side hall." Yu Yuanzheng took Shangguan Ru's hand and walked in.

Shangguan Ru went to the palace again, but the feeling was completely different.

This time, there was no one here who had hurt her, and no one who wanted to hurt her.

Only people who love her.

The courtyard that the princess arranged for her happened to be the courtyard where Concubine Luo used to live.

The princess knew that although her mother did not have deep feelings for her, she had given Ru'er some warmth before she died.

Otherwise, Ru'er wouldn't have observed three days of mourning for her.

And the fact that Ru'er always remembered that little bit of warmth shows how kind she was.

From that day on, Shangguan Ru followed the princess every day, learning how to manage the household, how to handle household chores, how to manage servants, how to manage her dowry, how to entertain guests, and how to interact with people.

Sometimes when the princess goes out, she will take her with her.

Everyone in Beijing knew that Shangguan Ru was adopted by the prince and became his legitimate daughter.

No one ever mentioned her divorce again.

When they knew that the former scout husband, Mr. Zhong, was waiting to marry her, some people felt envious.

And Yu Yuanzheng also started her own normal life.

I went to my mother's house first.

I've been away for a few months, and my mother must have been worried about me for a few months.

Shangguan Ziqi chose to take his family to Yu Mansion in the afternoon.

As a result, just as they arrived, one or two carriages came from the other direction.

"Big sister." It was Yu Yueyin and his wife.

The two of them heard that the eldest sister was going to her parents' home today, so naturally they wanted to come and get together.

"Little sister. What a coincidence?" Yu Yuanzheng got off the carriage and looked at his sister whom he hadn't seen for several months with a smile.

"What a coincidence! We came here on purpose." Yu Yueyin pretended to jump off the carriage.

As a result, he was forcibly stopped by Yue Zhengxing.

"Slow down."

Yu Yueyin glared at him in reproach, but still slowed down and got off the carriage with the help of Yue Zhengxing.

Yu Yuanzheng knew something was wrong at first glance.

"What's wrong? Is your sister pregnant?"

"Sister is indeed a miracle doctor. She guessed the symptom before even taking my pulse." Yue Zhengxing shared the news happily.

"Haha, congratulations to you." Yu Yuanzheng also stepped forward to support her sister.

The two families entered the Yong'an Earl's Mansion together.

The family is having a great time.

We had dinner with a lot of laughter and conversation.

"Sister, so many treasures have entered the national treasury this time. You may not know that the emperor has been very generous these days. As long as the request is not excessive, he will approve it." Yu Qingye said excitedly.

"Doesn't he look like a nouveau riche?" Yu Yuanzheng imagined how the emperor might behave at the morning court.

"What is a nouveau riche?" Zhao Yuejiao had never heard of this term.

"It means people who gain considerable wealth in a short period of time." Yu Yuanzheng explained with a smile.

"Oh, haha. Big sister, actually what you want to say is that the emperor has lost his previous calmness and wisdom, right?" Yue Zhengxing interrupted.

"Who said that? I didn't mean that. Be careful, the emperor will reprimand you if he finds out you described him like that."

"Sister, I heard that the emperor wants to return all your money to you. Is that true?" Yue Zhengxing was very concerned about this.
