Chapter 550: It's Not Yours You Want But You Can Never Get It
"My sister never left. She has always been my biological sister."
"Brother is right, Dad, don't be too greedy. My sister comes back every month at the end or beginning of the month, and you still have the chance to have lunch with her. You and Mom have never missed a meal in the past six months."
Du Henian pouted and said, "Yes, I didn't fall behind, but at the dinner table, Sister Yu was too polite to me and your mother, like guests. She still doesn't call us mom and dad. Oh, right, she doesn't call your third brother either. She's very polite and calls him Third Young Master Du. This... This makes me feel very uncomfortable. I want Sister Yu to call me dad."
Du Zhiyi: "This is already good enough. At least you can still see your sister. You should be content. Don't think about coaxing your sister to come back and live in the Du Mansion for a long time. That is impossible. Not to mention that your sister will be crowned a princess in the future and will marry into the Mu family. Even if you coax her back, how many days can she stay?"
Du Henian was surprised: "Princess?"
"Let's go, second brother." Du Zhiyi pulled Du Zhixu away in a hurry. He had said everything he needed to say, and his father had to figure it out himself.
"Hey! Why are you walking so fast?!"
Du Henian returned to the Du Mansion and went straight to Chaohuiyuan.
"Really?" Du Ye was a little excited when she heard about this.
Du Henian frowned, "Mom, why are you so happy?"
"Prince Xiaorong is the crown prince and will inherit the throne in the future. Sister Yu is the princess, the only princess in Dayuan's history without royal blood! Sister Yu is so blessed, such a great blessing!"
Du Henian: "Yu Jie'er is blessed, but she doesn't call me daddy."
“Serves you right!”
Du Henian: ...
"Okay, stop standing here. Tell Bei Qing about this and make her happy."
"Sister Yu doesn't even call Bei Qing mother."
Du Ye frowned, looking displeased. "Okay, don't be too greedy. Don't make a mistake one day and piss off Sister Yu. Otherwise, don't blame me for kicking you out." Du Ye raised the crutch in her hand.
Du Henian suddenly felt his scalp tingling and ran away in a hurry.
"Old Qiao, it's great that Sister Yu has found a good adoptive father. Although she was stolen at birth, she has found such kind and loving adoptive parents. It's her good fortune."
Aunt Qiao said, "Although the young lady was spoiled by her adoptive parents in the Song family, she still suffered a lot of grievances over the years because of her adoptive grandmother."
Upon hearing this, Du Yeshi was reminded of Du Zhihuan's life of luxury in the mansion, and she flew into a rage. "If there hadn't been some ambitious person deliberately doing this, my sister Yu would have grown up lovingly pampered in the Du family, instead of only being able to see her at the end of the month or the beginning of the month."
"What? Ming'en is the crown prince's nephew?" Jiang Youya almost fainted from fright.
Chang Huai said, "The eldest master sent a message back, and the news is correct. The emperor also appointed the eldest brother-in-law to be in charge of supervising the autumn examination."
Jiang Youya quickly drank a sip of herbal tea to calm his nerves. "Why did the Emperor appoint a crown prince without a single word? Shouldn't the little prince be able to grow up safely, marry, and have children?"
Chang Huai said, "The emperor's heart is as mysterious as the sea. How about we go to the palace and ask him?"
Jiang Youya sat quietly for a moment, "Prepare the carriage and go into the palace."
Song Mingen took the imperial edict and went straight to the yamen. Xiao Yanxu and Gu Yining didn't know about it yet and were holding the young master and teasing him.
"Ah Xu, when Sister Yu marries into the Mu family, the mansion will become much quieter, and my little grandson will feel a little lonely."
The young master seemed to understand, and hurriedly shook his head, making a baby sound. The couple did not understand a word he said.
"Ningning, my little grandson must have understood what you said. He must be saying that he's not lonely with us by his side."
"Dudu, huhu..." The little prince nodded his head and spoke in baby language.
Xiao Yanxu instantly transformed into a baby language translator. "My little grandson said that not only do we accompany him, but his father and mother also accompany him. Sister Yu will come back to see him often, take him out to play, make him lots of delicious food, and even give him some nephews and nieces."
Hearing this, the young master chattered even more happily, "Dudu, dudu... Huhu, Huhu..."
Gu Yining hurriedly held the young master in his arms and coaxed him, "You want nephews and nieces, but don't you want brothers and sisters?"
The young master looked up at Gu Yining, his narrow and long eyelashes blinking gently, his obsidian eyes gradually brightening up. After a moment, he clapped his hands and spoke loudly in baby language: "Huff, huff, huff... Yayayayay..."
"Did you hear that? The little grandson wants a brother or sister."
Xiao Yanxu: ...
Can he say he doesn't understand?
"Let's just let fate take its course. Aye loves his wife just as much as I do. He doesn't want her to suffer. After all, pregnancy for ten months is not easy, and childbirth is also very dangerous."
"Don't scare the little grandson." Gu Yining covered the little master's ears at this time, "I'm not that vicious mother-in-law who likes to urge her daughter-in-law to have children. It's not easy for Wanwan to give birth to a son for Aye. Let nature take its course."
"My queen." Caiwei knocked on the door and came in. "My queen asked me to come and take the young master back. It's almost noon, and the young master is getting hungry."
Gu Yining gently placed the young master in Caiwei's arms and said, "Tell Wanwan that I will go to pick him up in person at 5 p.m."
"Okay, Madam Dowager."
After drinking breast milk, the young master fell asleep in Jiang Yunwan's arms.
Jiang Yunwan gently placed the child on the bed and called him a few more times. Only after she saw that her son was really asleep did she get out of bed and come to the table for lunch.
After eating half full, Song Yu entered the room.
"Sister Yu, why are you back? Don't you have classes for the day?"
"Dad has been named the Crown Prince by the Emperor. Mother doesn't know yet, right?"
"What?" Jiang Yunwan was stunned for a moment. "Your father is the emperor's nephew. He doesn't need a title."
Seeing that her mother had the same reaction as her when she first heard about this, Song Yu quickly explained, "The title given to the nephew is similar to the crown prince."
Jiang Yunwan opened her eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Don't say that carelessly, or you'll lose your head."
"I'm not talking nonsense, it's true! Brother Jing came to Chaofeng Palace Academy to find me and told me in person that the emperor personally appointed daddy as the crown prince in the court today. It's not only the emperor's wish, but also the little prince's. Mom should be the crown prince's consort now, and in the future she will be..." Song Yu leaned close to her ear and whispered the word "empress".
Jiang Yunwan slightly curved her eyes. She couldn't describe her feelings at the moment, but she was extremely excited. "I was wondering why the magpies kept chirping outside this morning and my eyelids were twitching. So this is what happened."
Seeing Jiang Yunwan happy, Song Yu also became happy, "Mom, you eat first, I'll go tell grandpa and grandma."
"Don't." Jiang Yunwan pulled her back, "Sit down and have your meal first. When your father comes back in the evening, let him talk to the elders in person..."
In the evening, Song Mingen walked into Prince Rong's mansion in the afterglow of the setting sun.
I met Caiwei at the second gate.
When Caiwei saw Song Mingen holding the imperial edict in his hand, she was sure that it was true that the master would become the emperor in the future!
"Your Highness, the princess came back at noon and told the Queen that she wanted you to go directly to the Golden Sparrow Tower and tell the old prince and the Queen Dowager. They don't know yet."
Xiao Yanxu and Gu Yining had just finished dinner and were a little surprised to see Song Mingen coming over in official uniform.
Xiao Yanxu: "Didn't you say you would have dinner with Wanwan first before coming here? Why did you come straight here today?"
Song Mingen handed over the imperial edict with both hands, "Father, this is the new official position that the emperor bestowed upon me at court today."
Xiao Yanxu was overjoyed, "Another promotion! This is too fast! I should keep a low profile."
Xiao Yanxu unfolded the imperial edict, "Let father take a closer look at what official position your brother has bestowed upon you... Crowned Nephew? Ah!"
Xiao Yanxu uttered a low cry, and immediately threw the item to Song Mingen, feeling it was too hot. "My Royal Brother must have chosen the wrong position. How is that possible? The little prince is fine. We don't have that intention. Send him back quickly."
Gu Yining hurriedly took the imperial edict and read it carefully. "The emperor's seal and the imperial seal are both printed on it. The emperor can't be so confused as to make the wrong official position. He really wants to make A Ye the crown prince."
Xiao Yanxu took it and looked at it carefully, "Aye, did you really accept the imperial edict?"
Song Mingen: "I objected and advocated that the little prince be made the crown prince, but the emperor insisted on making me the crown prince, and said that this was also the little prince's wish."
Xiao Yanxu said nothing and entered the palace with the imperial edict.
"Aye, please sit down and have dinner with your mother." Song Mingen took off his official uniform and sat down. "I think the emperor's actions are unfair to the little prince."
Gu Yining was silent for a moment. "How do you know it's unfair? Didn't the emperor say that this was also what the little prince wanted? If you feel uneasy, ask the little prince in person tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll ask my little brother tomorrow."
Gu Yining added, "The Emperor has considered this decree many times. What is yours cannot be snatched away by others. What is not yours, you will never get it even if you want it..."
