In the end, she only got the position of a concubine.
However, General Liu still made compromises and concessions.
Because the Liu family also received another imperial decree granting marriage.
General Liu was arranged to marry the eldest daughter of Mr. Zhang, the head of the Hanlin Academy.
…
"That's unusual. The wedding is set for a year from now."
Zhao Yunzhu couldn't help but feel a little curious when she heard Linglong talking to her about the recent gossip in Chang'an City.
"What about Miss Xu'er?"
"Miss, Miss Xu'er has changed her name to Liu Ruxu."
Linglong corrected herself.
"But I also heard why the wedding date is set for a year from now?"
Zhao Yunzhu always felt that there was something fishy going on here.
"I heard that this is what the Zhang family wants."
"Oh? That's rare."
Zhao Yunzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Later, he heard that Liu Ruxu had moved into the Liu family. General Liu changed his behavior and after settling Liu Ruxu down, he went to the Patrol Camp to take over the work from Prince An.
Prince An returned to Chang'an, but had nothing to do for a while.
He accompanied Zhao Yunzhu around Prince An's Mansion all day long.
"Your Highness, Concubine Yun, I don't know who sent this note from outside."
The steward presented the invitation with both hands. Prince An took it, waved his hand, and signaled the steward to leave for the time being.
Just as he opened the letter, Zhao Yunzhu came forward.
The post was sent by Master Liu Er.
He just asked when he could come to Prince An's Mansion.
"I haven't taken this matter to heart. It seems that Master Liu is getting impatient."
Zhao Yunzhu was a little annoyed. Perhaps it was because she was getting older, she often forgot some things recently.
"How about I invite the Emperor to my house for tea tomorrow? I don't think Empress Dowager Liu will be suspicious."
Prince An talked about his plan. Zhao Yunzhu pondered for a while and finally nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then I'll have someone write a reply to Master Liu Er."
When Master Liu Er received the reply, he was overjoyed. He had not expected to receive the reply so soon. He had been anxiously waiting for the result, but he saw that Prince An's Mansion had not replied yet.
Only then did I ask someone.
Prince An went to the palace that day to invite the emperor to visit Prince An's mansion.
The emperor readily agreed.
On the next day.
Zhao Yunzhu asked someone to clean up the flower hall in the backyard and set up a table in the house.
The only maids serving in the room today were Nanny Hua and Linglong, no one else.
Master Liu Er came to Prince An's Mansion early.
Prince An went into the palace to meet the emperor.
Zhao Yunzhu and Li Fuyi were greeting people in the hall.
"Thank you, Concubine Yun, for today."
Master Liu II held a box and placed it in front of Zhao Yunzhu. "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Concubine Yun won't despise it."
Linglong stepped forward to take it. Inside was the ten thousand taels of silver that Master Liu had promised long ago, as well as a set of red gold hairpins with rubies and several huge East China Sea pearls inlaid on them.
Zhao Yunzhu accepted it with a smile and said, "Thank you."
She invited Master Liu Er to sit down and talk, and gave him a few more instructions.
Soon, Prince An came with the emperor. Master Liu Er stood up, his eyes fixed on the emperor, his expression hesitant but joyful.
He excitedly reached out his hand, wanting to touch the emperor's cheek.
Slightly red eyes and trembling body.
All of them showed the excitement in Master Liu Er's heart.
Seeing the emperor gradually approaching, he came to his senses, withdrew his hand awkwardly, and his face became a little more embarrassed.
"Your Majesty." Master Liu Er pretended to kneel down.
The emperor already knew that the person in front of him was Master Liu Er, his biological uncle.
He quickly stepped forward and held out his hand to stop Mr. Liu from kneeling. "Uncle, why are you being so polite? Let's talk properly."
Master Liu Er finally shed a few tears.
He nodded with a sob, and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
I could only say "OK" repeatedly.
Zhao Yunzhu asked the emperor and Mr. Liu Er to go to a side room to rest and talk.
Several people were guarding outside.
Linglong added two cups of tea, and the people in the hall glanced towards the house from time to time.
Seeing that there was no movement in the room, Prince An and others were becoming very impatient.
Just at this moment, the door was pushed open.
The emperor held Master Liu Er with one hand and pushed open the door with the other, and the two walked out of the room.
Master Liu Er lowered his head and raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face with his sleeve.
When he came closer to the few people, he raised his head with an embarrassed smile, looked at everyone, and said sorry.
"I think the Emperor and Mr. Liu are probably at odds with each other. Let's eat first."
Zhao Yunzhu invited everyone to sit down and have dinner.
…
After dinner, the emperor returned to the palace first. When he heard the noise, he held Mr. Liu's hand tightly and repeatedly reminded him, "Uncle, you must protect yourself."
Master Liu nodded with satisfaction and patted the emperor's arm, "Your Majesty, too. Don't worry about me. I'm fine."
After seeing the emperor off, Master Liu Er left through the back door of Prince An's Mansion.
Doctor Li went back to rest early.
Prince An accompanied Zhao Yunzhu back to rest.
When we returned to the room, there were only two people inside.
"Your Highness, there is something I have been hiding from you..."
Zhao Yunzhu looked solemn.
Qin Zongzhi frowned and looked at her, "Let's talk about it when you wake up from your nap."
"No rush."
He helped her lie down.
But Zhao Yunzhu was not sleepy at all, seeing that Prince An was accompanying her.
She simply lay in his arms, buried her face in his chest, and said in a low voice, "The jade pendant that the prince's mother had was given by the young master of the Tian family. It was an ancestral heirloom in the Tian family and was only passed down to the eldest grandson of the eldest branch."
