Zhao Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and stepped forward to take the imperial edict.
"You step back first and let Lao Jiu come in to answer the question."
"yes."
Zhao Yunzhu left the imperial study.
Qin Zongzhi was waiting anxiously outside. When he saw her come out, his eyes lit up, but the next second he looked down and saw the bright yellow imperial edict she was holding in both hands.
His eyes dimmed and he suddenly felt nervous.
He quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold her, his eyes full of worry, "What did the emperor say to you? What's going on?"
Zhao Yunzhu saw his eyes fall on the imperial edict.
Pulling the corners of his lips, he smiled bitterly, "The Emperor ordered me to deliver the imperial edict granting marriage to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion."
"What?"
Qin Zongzhi looked shocked.
"This is the imperial decree granting marriage between His Highness and Miss Du San. The Emperor has granted Miss Du San to His Highness as a concubine."
"What did you say?"
Qin Zongzhi looked at her in disbelief.
Seeing Zhao Yunzhu nodding, his ears suddenly buzzed, his brows furrowed, and he wanted to rush into the imperial study.
Zhao Yunzhu stopped him with a fierce look in her eyes, forcing a smile on her face. "Your Highness, please don't cause any more trouble, even for my sake. I am truly fortunate to have your shelter."
"Your Highness, it's really okay."
Zhao Yunzhu's voice was low, but her watery eyes made people feel distressed.
As a result, Qin Zongzhi felt full of guilt.
After carefully considering the meaning of Zhao Yunzhu's words, he didn't want her to suffer any more injustice.
After seeing Zhao Yunzhu's repeated persuasion, Qin Zongzhi finally compromised.
"I'll go with you."
"Your Highness, the Emperor is still waiting to see you. I can go alone."
Zhao Yunzhu pursed her lips helplessly.
Qin Zongzhi understood very well that his father was deliberately making things difficult for him.
He hugged her gently and whispered in her ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Zhao Yunzhu should have been touched, but for some reason, these words did not stir any emotion in her ears.
To pretend, she patted his back and murmured, "Yeah."
The palace eunuchs followed Zhao Yunzhu to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
The carriage was the one that Zhao Yunzhu took when she went out with Qin Zongzhi today.
The servants of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion saw a carriage parked at the main gate with the logo of the Ninth Prince's Mansion hanging on the eaves.
The steward stepped forward quickly, bowed and greeted him with a smile.
I saw the curtain of the car lifted.
The hem of the woman's skirt came into view, and the manager was slightly stunned, then looked up in surprise.
See the girl coming out of the carriage.
The manager's face immediately turned dark.
I was so embarrassed that I didn't know how to start.
Zhao Yunzhu, on the other hand, was calm and said with a smile, "Please tell the steward to go back and tell him that I am waiting for His Majesty to come and convey his order today."
Zhao Yunzhu took out the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and waved it in front of the steward.
The steward frowned, his face turning from blue to white.
He bowed hastily, turned around and ran into the mansion, his disheveled back looking a little flustered.
Zhao Yunzhu got off the carriage, stopped, raised her head slightly, and looked at the large gold-plated characters "Yong'an Marquis Mansion" on the vermilion plaque.
I feel sad.
That year, she was welcomed into the Yong'an Marquis's mansion through the main gate in a sedan chair carried by eight people, accompanied by loud gongs and drums.
She became the Crown Prince's Consort of the Yong'an Marquisate.
Now, she came again with the imperial edict in both hands, and still entered through the main gate.
Old Madam Du brought everyone from the Du family to the door to welcome them personally.
The moment she saw Zhao Yunzhu, Mrs. Du's eyes were filled with anger. She then saw the imperial edict in her hands and the eunuch behind her.
Old Madam Du gritted her teeth secretly, but still led everyone in the mansion to kneel at the door to welcome the imperial edict.
Somehow, Zhao Yunzhu saw this scene and felt extremely happy.
The gate of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion was gradually surrounded by people who came to watch the fun.
Zhao Yunzhu deliberately slowed down his pace and sneered in his heart.
She looked at the people kneeling in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion from afar, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
"Hey, isn't this Zhao Yunzhu, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family?"
"Yes, I heard that when the Zhao family fell into trouble, this young lady was divorced by the Yong'an Marquisate."
"Yes, it's a pity. My family is in trouble, my husband died in battle, and I was divorced."
"I heard that Miss Zhao is now dating the Ninth Prince."
"Then why did she bring the imperial edict to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion today? Could it be that the Emperor intends to criticize the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion?"
The discussion among the onlookers gradually spread.
Old Madam Du's face turned ashen. In her entire life, she had never suffered such humiliation.
But what could she do? Zhao Yunzhu held the imperial edict in her hand. If Madam Du did not kneel to receive it, what if the emperor got angry and confiscated the Du family property?
"Madam Du, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you sleeping well?"
Zhao Yunzhu finally stepped onto the stairs and walked in front of Mrs. Du.
He curled his lips in a sarcastic smile.
Madam Du raised her eyes and glared at Zhao Yunzhu, "I won't bother you with that."
As a junior, Zhao Yunzhu is so unruly. If it were in the past, she would definitely teach her some rules.
But now, it is not the same as before.
Madam Du clenched her back teeth tightly.
He snorted coldly.
The Du family members behind Old Madam Du all had murderous looks in their eyes, wishing they could eat Zhao Yunzhu alive.
Because of the imperial edict in her hand and the eunuch behind her.
No matter how dissatisfied everyone is, they can only suppress it temporarily.
"Madam Du, I'm here today to congratulate you."
Zhao Yunzhu smiled, then spread out the imperial edict in her hand and read out the decree of marriage in public.
Everyone in the Du family had a stiff expression on their faces, and the onlookers were whispering to each other.
"Madam Du, why don't you accept the order quickly?"
