The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Shi Anxia and Tang Chujun asked in unison, "Xiao Changle?"

As the voice of "Xiao Changle" was heard, a young man with a literary air came in from outside the door.

He had changed into his regular clothes, but his eyebrows and eyes still couldn't hide his high spirits. He knelt down in front of Tang Chujun and kowtowed three times, "Aunt, please accept Changle as your adopted son!"

This person was none other than Xiao Changle, who ranked first in the palace examination and was personally chosen by Emperor Mingde as the top scholar.

Xiao Changle was named the number one scholar by the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the palace today. When he saw the words "Xiao Changle" written in ink on the yellow paper where the list was posted, his anxious and excited heart finally settled down.

He knew in his heart that he was just lucky. He had achieved today's results because he met Shi Anxia during the competitive examination; and Shi Yunqi happened to not take part in the palace examination, so the title of top scorer fell on his head.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know what his situation would be like now.

When he thought of Jingzhe's filthiness, Aunt Luo's viciousness, his father's indifference, his mother's unprovoked disaster, and Pei Yu's meanness, he felt that if it weren't for Shi Anxia, ​​he would definitely be doomed to end up with his family broken up.

To him, Shi Anxia was more than just a sister; she was his adoptive parent, someone who had given him a new life.

His title of top scholar should not only belong to him, but to all three of them.

So when Xiao Changle was riding a horse in the parade just now, a bold idea came to his mind.

He wanted to recognize Tang Chujun as his godmother and repay her with his whole life. In this way, he would be Shi Anxia's legitimate brother.

After Cen Yuan married Shi Anxia, ​​if she bullied her, he, her brother who was the top scholar, would be able to support her openly and with confidence.

Seeing Tang Chujun was stunned, Xiao Changle kowtowed three more times, sincerely and persistently, "Aunt, Changle really wants to ask you to be her godmother."

Tang Chujun smiled and bent his eyebrows, "Get up! Get up! If it were in the past, I would have accepted it without hesitation. But now that you are the top scholar, I really don't dare to accept it easily."

Xiao Changle said seriously, "If I hadn't passed the imperial examination, I wouldn't have dared to come and recognize my relatives. Please, aunt, recognize Changle! I have already consulted mother about this matter, and mother fully agrees."

Tang Chujun was a little embarrassed. She was a divorced woman, so how could she be qualified to be the godmother of the top scholar?

She has already held her children back, so how could she hold back the top scholar?

Thinking of this, Tang Chujun waved his hands, "No, no! You get up first, and we'll discuss it."

Xiao Changle raised his head, his eyes moistened, "Aunt, do you dislike Changle's low status? Or are you worried about Changle's character?"

What is this? The more he talks, the more he gets off topic! Tang Chujun said sternly, "Changle, you get up first. Let's go into the house and talk slowly, okay?"

Having said that, if he continued to kneel and refused to get up, it would be a bit of a stretch. Xiao Changle got up from the ground, glanced at Tang Chujun cautiously, and winked at Shi Yunqi.

Shi Yunqi remained calm. He also knew his mother's concerns.

If it were earlier, my mother's identity would have been suitable for her to be the number one scholar's stepmother; but now that my mother is divorced, there are more things to worry about.

At least Xiao Changle and Xiao Changle's mother must be informed before proceeding to the next step.

He himself is very happy to see it happen.

He and Xiao Changle have similar views in many aspects, and they feel that they met too late.

In addition, he is now in a different position and has the responsibility to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Jian'an Marquis Mansion. Before becoming an official, it is also beneficial to make friends with colleagues who share the same views.

His sister has unknowingly paved the way for him. He just needs to be sincere and he will be able to walk on this path smoothly.

Tang Chujun took the man to the main hall, where many boxes were placed in a mess.

She asked the servants to clean the tables and chairs, serve tea, and send away all the outsiders, leaving only her children and Xiao Changle in the room.

The four of them sat in a square.

Tang Chujun then said gently, "Changle, first of all, congratulations on becoming the top scholar! This is a major event in your life, and also a major event for your family."

Xiao Changle hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Thank you, auntie. Changle's most important thing now is to ask you to be my godmother. Please help me."

Tang Chujun asked, "Then can I ask why you insist on recognizing me as your godmother?"

Xiao Changle was silent for a moment, and then he glanced at Shi Yunqi and Shi Anxia tenderly, and said frankly, "Because Changle wants to have a brother like Yunqi and a sister like Xia'er."

Tang Chujun's heart warmed up and he laughed, "So you can only have a godmother like me first?"

Xiao Changle also lowered his head and smiled innocently, "I hope my aunt will help me."

Tang Chujun looked at Xiao Changle's sincere and clean appearance, and thought that if Cen Yuan had not been there, this top scholar would be a good match for her Xia'er.

She collected her thoughts and said, "It's not that Auntie is unwilling to help you, but... Auntie is divorced now, and I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation, which is not good."

Xiao Changle was stunned for a moment, "I, I don't think I have ever thought about having a godfather..."

Shi Anxia and Shi Yunqi looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Shi Yunqi tried to smooth things over, "You know the truth now. Recognizing one's relatives is a big deal, so you have to be careful. Go back and discuss it with Madam Xiao."

Xiao Changle shook his head stubbornly, "No need to discuss it, my mother will agree."

However, his mother, Wang, was suffering from an unspeakable disease, but after being treated by Madam Meng for so long, she is now fine.

Wang's illness was not serious earlier, and with the support of her son, she is now in good condition. However, she still refuses to step out of the house, which is something her son cannot persuade her to do.

After much persuasion, Wang would just take a walk with her son in her own garden, and no more persuasion would do.

The Xiao family is very quiet now. The master is just mother and son, and all the maids and servants have been replaced.

After much hesitation, he finally told Tang Chujun about his family's situation.

When Tang Chujun heard this, she didn't hesitate any longer and said immediately, "I accept this offer. In this way, your mother and I can be considered sisters, so we will have frequent contact. Don't worry."

Xiao Changle really didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. He quickly lifted the corner of his robe and kowtowed solemnly.

When Xiao Changle came out, his eyes were shining. He patted Tang Xinghe on the shoulder and coughed lightly, "Xinghe, congratulate me! I don't have to follow you and call you 'cousin' anymore! Hahahahaha... Now, I'm a real brother!"

Tang Xinghe poked his back teeth with his tongue and punched him.

Before the blow even reached his shoulder, Tang Chujun shouted, "Stop, stop. What if you hurt my son?"

Tang Xinghe's fist was suspended in the air, and he said aggrievedly, "Aunt, you are already biased."

Tang Chujun smiled and said, "I was worried that you might hurt your hand."

Tang Xinghe was immediately coaxed into submission, and winked at Xiao Changle, "My aunt is still my aunt!"

Xiao Changle burst out laughing, feeling that everything in this world was beautiful.

It is really like one thought to hell and one thought to the world.

Afterwards, he went to the Duke's Mansion Clan School to perform a ceremony to thank his teacher, and then returned to Yunqi Academy to attend the celebration banquet.
