After a pause, the emperor looked at Prince Guo and said, "Since you two are in love, don't worry about your status. Today, I will grant this palace maid a good status and appoint her as your concubine."

Prince Guo moved his mouth to refuse, but Ying'er said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I am of low status and really unworthy."

The emperor laughed and said, "Love is priceless, so there is no such thing as being worthy or not. Since you are from the Zhen family, you will be named the adopted daughter of the Zhen family and marry into the Prince's Mansion on a certain day."

Upon hearing this, Ying'er was moved to tears and knelt down to express her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. I thank your Majesty for your grace."

Prince Guo froze in place. After a few breaths, he slowly knelt down and said, "Thank you for your grace, brother."

The emperor waved his hands and said, "Get up quickly, Old Seventeen. You didn't want to get married before, but it was all because of her. Now that you have married the woman you love, you must give birth to a son for the royal family as soon as possible."

Prince Guo bit his lip, stood up, and replied with a bow: "Yes."

Zhen Huan covered her chest, feeling like she had lost something very important.

That afternoon, Yin'er left the Old Summer Palace with the valuables given by Zhen Huan and went to the Zhen family in the capital.

Outside the Old Summer Palace, Prince Guo was waiting outside the gate with his horse.

After seeing Ying'er, Prince Guo said, "Miss Ying'er, may I have a word with you?"

Ying'er nodded and said, "Okay."

The two of them avoided the crowd and stood in a deserted corner to talk.

Prince Guo asked first: "This is our first meeting, how come you know what's in my purse?"

Ying'er smiled and replied, "If I tell you, Your Majesty may not believe it."

Prince Guo said gently, "Just speak up, young lady."

Ying'er replied, "The night before, I dreamed of the exact same scene as today, but the ending was completely different. Because I did not stand up, my young master was suspected by the emperor, and died of depression after being ignored. And the prince's ending was even more miserable."

"As for the small statue, I was there when my young master hung it in the Plum Garden in winter."

"I saw Du Ruohua in a dream. Before the prince died, he opened his purse and took a look at Du Ruohua before passing away."

After Ying'er finished speaking, she stared at Prince Guo, looking as if she was afraid that Prince Guo would not believe her.

Prince Guo also stared at Yu'er. After a few breaths, Prince Guo said, "I don't believe everything the young lady said, but I did need your help today, and I will never forget it. From now on, you should treat me as your own family in the palace."

Yu'er nodded, her face flushed.

Prince Guo escorted Ying'er to the Zhen family, told Zhen Yuandao about Ying'er, and then left the Zhen family.

Zhen Yuandao said to Ying'er politely, "Do you want to change Miss Ying'er's name?"

Yu'er thought for a moment and said, "The daughters of the Zhen family all have the name Yu, so I'll also have the name Yu, and call myself Yuyan."

Zhen Yuandao's forehead twitched. This was just a polite question. There was usually a difference between an adopted daughter and a biological daughter. But Ying'er had already spoken, and Ying'er was about to become the concubine of Prince Guo's mansion.

Zhen Yuandao smiled and said, "The word 'Yan' is quite good. She is graceful and elegant, and has a pretty face."

Although Ying'er didn't quite understand, she knew it was a good thing.

Yu'er was given the name Yan, but this character is derived from the character for "女", which she happened to know.

I didn't know that the two sentences Zhen Yuandao said were from "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Heming", which describes a woman's demeanor and appearance.

From then on, Yu'er was no longer a servant.

After a plan, Yin'er not only became the second daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Yuyan, but also became the concubine of the prince's palace.
