I'm afraid Miss Liu has already heard about it.
That's why he wanted to adopt one before anything else.
As for the one born by Mingyue, how could the young lady of the Liu family be willing to make wedding clothes for someone else? Moreover, she had the Empress Dowager and the Liu family behind her, and the Yong'an Marquisate would not dare to really offend the young lady of the Liu family.
"It looks really interesting. Then let's go over and join in the fun."
Zhao Yunzhu handed the invitation to Aunt Hua and lay down to rest again.
…
Princess Liu of the Yong'an Marquisate had already chosen a stepson of her choice from within the clan.
Today's banquet for the Chang'an family is also an announcement to the world.
Prince An had official business to attend to today, so Zhao Yunzhu went to the banquet alone with her maids and servants.
At the banquet, everyone exchanged greetings.
Although Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du II were smiling, the smile did not reach their eyes.
Princess Liu was holding the hand of a little boy who was wearing a royal blue brocade dress. He had a fair face and a somewhat reserved look in his eyes.
"Yun'er, greet all the ladies."
Princess Liu squatted down and spoke to Du Yun with a smile.
Du Yun was only five years old now and had never seen such a grand scene. He held on tightly to the hem of Princess Liu's clothes and looked timidly at his adoptive mother.
"Don't be afraid, Yun'er. Your mother is with you. Be good."
Under the gentle persuasion of Princess Liu, Du Yun pursed his lips, as if he had made a great decision.
He nodded solemnly, "Okay."
There was a hint of softness in the voice.
"Yun'er pays respects to the ancestor."
"Yun'er pays respects to Grandmother."
"Yun'er greets all the aunts."
Du Yun released his hand and knelt down in front of Old Madam Du. After kowtowed, he turned to Second Madam Du, and then to all the ladies in the flower hall.
Everyone smiled and praised him, then told the maid to bring a gift.
Although this child is likable.
But with the Liu family and Queen Mother Liu behind this child, who in Chang'an wouldn't give this child some face?
"Good boy, be good, get up quickly."
Old Madam Du was flattered by everyone, and she acted like an elder doting on a younger person. She ordered the nanny to go forward and personally help Du Yun up, and then took out the white jade peace amulet that she had prepared in advance and gave it to him as a gift.
…
The servant came in and announced that the banquet was ready and Madam Du invited everyone to come to the banquet.
Zhao Yunzhu's identity is already somewhat embarrassing, and she has reduced her presence to the lowest level.
But he was still stopped by Princess Liu.
"Concubine Yun, please wait a moment."
Princess Liu took Du Yun by the hand and slowly caught up with them.
Zhao Yunzhu frowned slightly, then regained her composure, turned around with a smile, and looked confused.
After all, she was not very familiar with Princess Liu.
There is no grudge between the two.
"I wanted to visit Concubine Yun a few days ago, but I heard that she had gone to visit Prince An, so I couldn't see her. Today I finally get to see her."
"I wonder if Princess Liu is looking for me for something?"
Zhao Yunzhu went straight to the point.
Princess Liu handed Du Yun to the maid beside her and instructed, "Take the young master to the banquet first, I will come over later."
Du Yun looked at his mother in confusion. Although he felt a little uneasy, he did not cry or make a fuss. He bowed obediently and left with the maid.
"I heard that Mingyue's matter was discovered by Concubine Yun."
Seeing Du Yun walking away, Princess Liu spoke, and the smile in her eyes became colder.
Zhao Yunzhu did not talk about Princess Liu but mentioned Mingyue to her.
Seeing her hesitation, Consort Liu smiled and continued, "Don't worry, Concubine Yun. I'm just curious and asked by the way."
"Well, I discovered it by accident, and I was the one who exposed this matter."
Since everything was laid out in the open, there was no reason for her to hide anything.
"Concubine Yun is quite frank."
Princess Liu smiled and said, "Concubine Yun, tell me, if the fetus in Mingyue's belly is gone, what will happen to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion?"
"Princess Liu, this is the family affair of the Yong'an Marquisate. It has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Yunzhu shrugged, looking calm.
"Really? Concubine Yun is so magnanimous? After all, someone else took away your late husband's throne. I didn't expect you to be so indifferent."
Deceased husband?
This one sentence made Zhao Yunzhu's throat tighten and her heart feel empty.
"Prince Liu is such a joke. I've already been divorced by Madam Du. How can I have a deceased husband?"
She laughed at herself, "Whatever Princess Liu wants to do is your business. You don't have to tell me. I'm not interested."
After saying this, Zhao Yunzhu strode away.
Princess Liu smiled sinisterly, her eyes full of calculation, "Zhao Yunzhu, if it weren't for you, how could Mingyue be raised outside? You've put me in such a difficult position right now. If we really wait for the child to be born, how can I support him?"
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the maid beside her and asked, "Is everything done?"
"Replying to the Crown Princess, everything is done."
…
Old Madam Du and a group of ladies took their seats, as today was a family dinner for the adopted young master.
It also allows everyone to know Du Yun, the adopted son of Princess Liu, who will be the legitimate future heir to the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion.
Today, there was a rare stage in the yard for everyone to listen to music.
Mrs. Du was inviting people to dinner.
The next second, there was a sudden noisy sound outside the yard.
Old Madam Du frowned secretly, and everyone looked in the direction of the noisy sound.
I saw the servants stopping a woman in a pink dress, who was holding her bulging belly with both hands.
Judging from the appearance, it seems to be at least June or July.
