As soon as Yun Wanwan returned to the general's mansion, she saw a dazzling array of women's accessories, jewelry, and clothes in the main courtyard.
There are all kinds of things, including gold and silver, and they are extremely luxurious.
Gu Pingge and Yun Yaoyao, mother and daughter, were both shining in their eyes.
Gu Pingge stepped forward, her face full of flattery, and said with a smile, "Excuse me, eunuch, is this a noble from the palace who wants to offer a betrothal gift to my daughter?"
The betrothal gift was obvious. The general's family only had one daughter, so the one seeking marriage must be Yun Yaoyao. However, the person who gave the betrothal gift...
"We dare not speculate on the wishes of the nobles in the palace." The eunuch who delivered the decree smiled generously and politely. "These are all gifts from His Majesty to the future Princess An."
The future Princess An?
Hearing this, not only Gu Pingge and Yun Yaoyao widened their eyes, but even Yun Wanwan outside the door was stunned.
She had received all the memories of the original owner, so she naturally knew who His Royal Highness Prince An was in the current dynasty.
Prince An Rong Chengxuan is not only the only king of a different surname in Beichen Kingdom, but also the regent of the current dynasty.
Three years ago, Rong Chengxuan suddenly returned to the court with an army of 100,000 soldiers under his command. After returning to the court, he launched a vigorous campaign to purge the court.
From then on, he became the regent with great power in the court and all political affairs of the world were under his control.
No one knows how Rong Chengxuan, an illegitimate child expelled from a marquisate, transformed himself into the regent who was talked about and laughed at by the world.
But everyone knows one indisputable fact, that is—
Rong Chengxuan is the true emperor.
This time, Gu Pingge's eyes were really shining with gold, and he even had a hard time standing.
Unable to conceal her excitement, she took a step forward and asked, "The future Princess An..."
The eunuch delivering the decree smirked and said, "It's Miss Yun from the General's Mansion."
Gu Pingge's legs softened and he knelt down. In his ecstasy, he pushed the stunned Yun Yaoyao to the ground, "Why don't you quickly thank the emperor for his grace? He's going to make you the Princess of An!"
Yun Yaoyao finally realized what was happening. She felt like a piece of cake had fallen from the sky. She was so surprised that she kowtowed quickly, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"
Both mother and daughter thought they had found a good husband, and the best husband in Beichen today!
However……
The eunuch delivering the imperial edict was confused by the actions of the mother and daughter. He scratched his head and hesitantly said, "I haven't announced the imperial edict yet. Madam Gu, please stand up quickly!"
Gu Pingge couldn't control the smile on her face and said, "You don't know, my Lord, but our General's Mansion only has one daughter, Yaoyao. Naturally, there is only one Miss Yun in the General's Mansion, Yaoyao. How could this be false?"
Gu Pingge thought that he had finally married into a rich family and didn't want to pretend anymore. He immediately started thinking about how to prepare a dowry for Yun Yaoyao!
But the eunuch delivering the imperial eunuch murmured, "But this Miss Yun Yaoyao's face doesn't look right. It seems that the one described by His Highness Prince An is not this person..."
Yun Wanwan stood outside the door and watched this scene. She felt like she was watching a good show. When the show was over and she was about to leave, she heard the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict calling her again.
"Miss Yun, please stay!"
This sound shocked everyone in the yard.
Everyone looked towards Yun Wanwan in disbelief, and Gu Pingge and Yun Yaoyao's smiles froze instantly.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict smiled brightly and said, "This is Miss Yun!"
It is exactly the same as the portrait given by His Royal Highness Prince An, and the real person is even more beautiful than the portrait.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict saw the real owner and quickly opened the imperial edict and read it out: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor has decreed. Yun Wanwan of General Yun's mansion is gentle and virtuous, and has won the favor of Prince An. Therefore, she is specially granted marriage and is named Princess An. I decree this—"
Yun Wanwan: “???”
My goodness, she was stunned.
Could it be that the man who wanted to take the pendant in the teahouse was His Royal Highness Prince An?
Rong Chengxuan?
Yun Wanwan shuddered all over.
Oh my god, it's a good thing I returned the pendant to him without asking for conditions, otherwise she would have died the moment she came through!
Before Yun Wanwan could react, Yun Yaoyao screamed and even jumped up to grab the imperial edict.
"Impossible! Is my name spelled wrong? I am the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion! I should be the Miss Yun that His Royal Highness Prince An wants to marry! Eunuch, my name is Yun Yaoyao, not Yun Wanwan. It must be spelled wrong! It must be!"
Gu Pingge also glanced at the imperial edict in Yun Yaoyao's hand. Seeing the three characters "Yun Wanwan" inscribed on her name, he felt extremely irritated and angrily said, "This is impossible! Yun Wanwan is just a wild girl from the countryside. How could she possibly catch the eye of His Highness Prince An? Did you make a mistake?"
“Bold!”
The eunuch delivering the imperial decree shouted, interrupting the shrill screams of the mother and daughter.
"Someone, come here! Yun Yaoyao tore up the imperial edict. This is a crime of great disrespect. Slap her face ten times!"
Seeing Yun Yaoyao being dragged away to be beaten with a stick and still shouting, the eunuch who delivered the order subconsciously covered his ears.
Then I saw Yun Wanwan who had been standing quietly on the side. She had a dignified appearance, was stunningly beautiful, and had an awe-inspiring temperament. She remained calm even when faced with a huge challenge, and she was a true lady from a noble family.
There is really no harm without comparison. Compared with that Yun Yaoyao, there is simply heaven and earth between them.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict pointed at the gold, silver, and jewelry in the courtyard and said with a flattering smile to Yun Wanwan, "My lady, these are all prepared for you by His Royal Highness Prince An."
Yun Wanwan glanced at it and sighed helplessly.
This really provokes the devil...
After thanking the eunuch who delivered the decree, Yun Wanwan called a few maids and servants to help her move the "bride price" from the main courtyard back to her courtyard.
By the time the eunuchs who delivered the imperial edict left, Yun Yaoyao's face had swollen like a pig's.
It seems that the ten slaps that the eunuchs slapped Yun Yaoyao in order to please Yun Wanwan, the future Princess An, were not waterproof at all.
At this moment, Gu Pingge stepped forward angrily and accused Yun Wanwan, "Well, you little bitch have really grown up. You even dared to seduce His Highness Prince An! I'm telling you, you're just a wild chicken. Don't ever dream of becoming a phoenix!"
"Oh?" Yun Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "You're not trying to curry favor with me now. Do you think that since you're my biological mother, even if I become rich, I should still respect you?"
Gu Pingge rolled her eyes. "Do you still want to kill me? If the future Princess An kills her own mother, how can you still be Princess An?"
Yun Wanwan shook her head. "I wouldn't kill you, but tell me...what would Yun Yaoyao do if I told His Highness Prince An about the witchcraft?"
Gu Pingge was stunned. He pointed at her for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
"Speechless?" Yun Yaoyao sneered. "I'm really curious. If His Royal Highness Prince An knew the truth, would he feel like Madam Gu that Yun Yaoyao killed me because I shouldn't have been born?"
