The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

【System~】

As soon as Yu Ningyao called out in her mind, the system knew what she wanted to ask.

【Wait! 】

The system responded instantly and immediately went to find out what was going on for her.

Then she screamed.

[Princess, you're using tonics to randomly matchmake people!]

【Our Yaoyao is destined to be a favored concubine; how could she possibly marry into the Duke's mansion?】

Yu Ningyao: What's wrong?

She's only a little over a year old, and she's already going on blind dates?

The system continued its rambling:

She took a fancy to the grandson of the imperial concubine's brother, who was also her cousin.

Huo Yuanzhi, the youngest son of the eldest branch of the Xingguo Duke's family.

[Three years old this year.]

Princess Ning Le wants to arrange a marriage for you since childhood.

After listening, Yu Ningyao blinked and asked:

How does this marriage proposal turn out?

Can I accept this?

The system scoffed: [Don't even think about it.]

You must become a favored concubine in the Crown Prince's harem.

Huo Yuanzhi is just a youngest son of the legitimate wife, ineligible to inherit the title. He's just a good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid. You marrying him would be a waste of your potential!

Yu Ningyao thought this place was quite nice.

She was just trying to see if she could change her target when the system ruthlessly shattered her wish.

You must become a favored concubine, or your fate will repeat what we've already witnessed.

[A mere duke's mansion cannot protect you.]

Your appearance will only bring them disaster.

Yu Ningyao fell silent instantly.

It's not her fault that she's too good-looking.

[I understand. I will obediently be a favored concubine.]

Yu Ningyao answered weakly.

The system encouraged us: "Go for it, baby! I believe in you, you're the best!"

[Let's do more tasks and accumulate more skills. We'll definitely dazzle the Crown Prince and become a legendary favorite concubine!]

Yu Ningyao rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to her.

Princess Ning Le bent down, intending to personally carry Yu Ningyao and escort her out of the mansion.

As soon as she picked her up, Yu Ningyao wrapped her arms around her neck and called out "Mother" with reluctance.

Princess Ning Le's eyes instantly reddened.

“Your mother has come to pick you up.” She gently pinched the tip of her nose.

My heart is filled with reluctance.

She thought Yu Ningyao was thinking about Shen Jinzhu.

"Princess Mother." Yu Ningyao pressed her small face against hers.

Princess Ning Le could no longer hold back her tears.

"She...she's calling me 'Mother'?" She was surprised and flustered, looking at Lan Yue beside her.

Lan Yue couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

"That must be it. The second young lady is intelligent and sensible. She must feel that you treat her like your own mother, which is why she calls you that."

"Can you call me 'Mother' one more time?" Princess Ning Le looked at Yu Ningyao cautiously.

Yu Ningyao gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and called out in a strong voice, "Mother!"

She then gave him another kiss and said in a childish voice, "I like pretty mommy."

She then covered her face and hid in Princess Ning Le's arms.

Ahhh.

I'm so shy.

She went all out to win Princess Ning Le's favor.

Princess Ning Le wept with joy, suddenly realizing a way to protect Yu Ningyao.

It doesn't necessarily mean finding her a good family; she can just adopt her as her goddaughter.

With her as the princess's mother around, who would dare to bully her?

Since she'll never have her own children in this life anyway, she might as well cherish this well-behaved child.

She saved her twice; perhaps she is a child who came to repay a debt of gratitude.

Princess Ning Le had a plan in mind, and the smile on her face brightened considerably.

"Good girl. Don't forget me when you go back to the Marquis's mansion." She kissed Yu Ningyao's soft little face, and her heart softened as well.

It's like snow in the dead of winter meeting the blazing sun, melting instantly.

Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu waited anxiously at the entrance of the princess's residence.

They were afraid that their daughter, who had been away from home for a month, would forget them.

Only when they saw the princess carrying her daughter did the two of them come to their senses and hurriedly bow.

Princess Ning Le handed the child over to them and said calmly, "Take good care of this child and don't let her suffer any injustice."

"Princess, rest assured, once Yaoyao enters our family, she will be our child for life. We will treat her as our own child and will never mistreat her," Yu Kangjing hurriedly stated.

Shen Jinzhu nodded in agreement.

"Yes, you may go back now." Princess Ning Le, afraid that she would be reluctant to leave, turned around and went back to her residence first.

The moment she turned away, tears streamed down her face.

She had only recently finished her postpartum confinement period, so she would have to wait a while longer before she could formally recognize Yu Ningyao as her goddaughter.

After all, she wanted to throw her the best and most glamorous family reunion banquet.

……

Consort Huo sighed repeatedly in the palace.

Her daughter was no longer willing to enter the palace to see her because of Lan Zhizhang's matter.

She was somewhat uneasy because she had previously refused her daughter's request.

So he asked the palace maid beside him:

“Baoqin, do you think I should grant Ning Le’s request? Although an adopted daughter of a marquis’s family is indeed not good enough for our Yuanzhi, he is not the eldest son of the legitimate wife and does not need to inherit the title. I will take good care of him.”

“You only have one child, the princess. No matter what you do, she will understand your good intentions.” Baoqin dared not offer any advice and could only give a vague answer.

"Never mind, we're all enemies. I'm the one who owes her." Consort Huo sighed, and after much deliberation, she decided to help act as matchmaker.

That child is perhaps truly blessed.

He was able to shield Ning Le from two disasters.

Let us grant her a good marriage.

"Send someone to tell my sister-in-law that I have my own arrangements for Yuanzhi's marriage, and that they should not get engaged to anyone else. Then send someone to tell Ning Le that I will do whatever she wants for her." Consort Huo wiped away her tears and agreed.

It's all her fault for causing the death of Lan Zhizhang's first wife, which led to her daughter suffering so much injustice for so many years.

Now all her daughter is asking for is a small marriage, so why can't she agree?

Over the years, she has secured so many benefits for her family. Her elder brother and sister-in-law would surely not object to the marriage of a legitimate second son.

soon.

Duke Xingguo then received a message from his sister, the Imperial Concubine.

"She wants to arrange a marriage for Yuanzhi, who is only five years old. Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?" Duchess Ruan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Alright, just follow the Imperial Concubine's arrangements." Duke Xingguo waved his hand dismissively.

“But you have to tell me which girl you’re referring to. Otherwise, Yunqing will come and ask me, and I won’t be able to answer. That’s her own son,” Madam Ruan said, dissatisfied.

She's put up with her sister-in-law for so many years, why should she have to?

"I asked for you before. She is the legitimate daughter of the third branch of the Jing'an Marquis's family, and she is a little over one year old this year." The Duke of Xingguo was not aware of the rumors circulating in the capital, so he did not think too much about it.

Ms. Ruan felt the name sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place it.

So he called his daughter-in-law over and told her about it.

"The legitimate daughter of the third branch? The third branch has no daughter?" The Crown Prince's wife, He Yunqing, was full of doubt.

A moment later, she suddenly realized what she had said and became anxious: "The third branch of the Marquis's mansion is just an adopted daughter they picked up. How could she be worthy of our Yuanzhi!"
