Qingyin and Qingling were about to help Lu Zhaoling kneel down, but they heard her say, "Eunuch, I am seriously injured and dizzy. I might faint if I kneel down. Please stand and receive the decree."

"How bold!" Lu Ming suddenly became angry.

Lu Zhaoling didn't even look at him.

"It's not easy to receive orders if you fainted." She said lightly.

The official who announced the decree looked at her wrapped head and had no choice but to agree.

"Then Miss Lu Er will stand and receive the order."

He unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict and read it out.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have heard that Lu Zhaoling, the second daughter of Lu Ming, is of good character and appearance, gentle and kind... I hereby grant my younger brother the title of Princess of Jin, and choose an auspicious date for the wedding. I decree this."

The official delivering the imperial edict had a shrill voice and a flat tone as he read out the contents of the imperial edict in front of everyone in the Lu residence.

Everyone in the Lu Mansion was stunned.

Lu Ming almost jumped up.

Mrs. Lu's facial features were distorted, her eyes were spitting fire, and she stared at the imperial edict, suspecting that the damn eunuch was talking nonsense.

"impossible!"

A girl of about thirteen or fourteen couldn't help but scream.

That was Lu Zhaoyun’s biological sister, the third lady of the Lu family, Lu Zhaoyue.

Lu Zhaoyue hadn't seen Lu Zhaoling today, but she had heard that her second sister had come. She was originally clamoring to go to the nuanlou to listen to the imperial edict, but happened to come to listen to the imperial edict first.

When Prince Jin left Beijing, she was still a little kid and did not recognize him. However, the person she admired most was Sister Shen Xiangjun. She heard a while ago that Sister Shen was going to be the Princess of Jin in the future.

How come Lu Zhaoling is now the Princess of Jin?

"Miss Lu, please accept the imperial edict." The official delivering the imperial edict was in a hurry to return to the palace and was too lazy to pay attention to other people.

Lu Zhaoling had not expected that the retired emperor had just passed away, and Prince Jin had almost died in front of his father's bed, with the father and son almost going to the underworld together, but now Prince Jin could ask for the imperial decree to grant the marriage.

Before, he didn't recognize her in front of the emperor and said she was a petty thief who stole things into Ningshou Palace. He even asked Qingfeng to carry her out of the palace like a pig. But now he makes her the Princess of Jin!

Does the King of Jin have to be so divisive?

Qingyin and Qingling were also stunned.

"Zhao Ling accepted the order."

When Lu Zhaoling saw the various looks from the other people in the Lu residence, she smiled slightly and stepped forward to receive the imperial edict.

It seems that she was granted marriage, and everyone in the Lu family was shocked and angry. Then she would have to accept the order.

Lu Zhaoling received the decree, and Qingyin reacted immediately and stuffed a small purse into the official's hand, "Thank you, eunuch."

This is what they should do as maids.

Although they are currently serving Miss Lu temporarily, they cannot be negligent.

The official who delivered the imperial edict looked at the reactions of the people in the Lu Mansion and then at Lu Zhaoling's miserable condition. He originally thought that there would be no benefits on this trip, but he did not expect that the maidservant beside Lu Zhaoling was quite smart.

This is unexpected wealth, and it is more than a surprise.

His complexion became better. "Congratulations to Miss Lu Er."

The messenger left the Lu family.

Lu Zhaoyue, who had just been held down by Lu Zhaoyun, jumped up and called out to Lu Zhaoling.

"Do you have any shame? Why was you granted marriage as soon as you entered the capital?"

Lu Zhaoling looked at her.

Lu Zhaoyue looks somewhat similar to Lu Zhaoyun, but her figure has not yet fully grown and the baby fat on her face has not faded. But she is also a little beauty.

Next to her was a girl of about her age, who was much thinner and looked quiet.

There was also a little boy of about four or five years old, with a chubby face, staring at her with wide eyes.

Lu Zhaoling could see a connection between them and Lu Ming, so they should all be Lu Ming's children.

The Lu family members are all very good-looking.

Among them, Lu Zhaoyun is the most serious.

In addition to these, there are two young women, one dignified and the other charming, who should be Lu Ming's concubines.

I heard that Lu Ming has two sons, but they are studying in the academy.

While Lu Zhaoling was looking at them, they were also looking at Lu Zhaoling.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?" Seeing that Lu Zhaoling ignored her, Lu Zhaoyue got so angry that her face turned red.

Lu Ming frowned and said nothing, apparently waiting to hear Lu Zhaoling's answer.

He was so shocked!

I originally thought that Prince Jin was going to find a way to make trouble for Lu Zhaoling, but it turned out that he just granted the marriage!

"who are you?"

Lu Zhaoling glanced at Lu Zhaoyue.

"If you don't come back, I will be the second daughter of the Lu family! My name is Lu Zhaoyue! Big sister is the cloud, I am the moon, we are both the purest in the sky, who do you think you are?"

Lu Zhaoyue had just been told an hour ago that she would be the Third Miss from now on, and she was furious.

Why should a stinky country girl be put on top of her?

Lu Zhaoling smiled and raised the imperial edict in his hand, "The emperor just granted me a marriage, and I am now the fiancée of the Prince of Jin. What do you think I am?"

"You are just a little country girl! A country girl who is not worthy of being on the stage! The Prince of Jin belongs to Sister Shen—"

"Zhao Yue!"

When Lu Ming heard something was wrong, he immediately stopped her.

Now that the imperial decree for the marriage has come down, it would be an insult to her reputation to bring up Prime Minister Shen’s daughter again!

He couldn't afford to offend Prime Minister Shen.

Lu Zhaoyun also quickly covered his sister's mouth.

Sister Shen?

She had seen before that there was no sign of marriage between King Jin and her husband, so where did Sister Shen come from?

If Prince Jin had a marriage destiny, she would not have admitted herself as his fiancée in the street.

There is no sign of marriage or romance on Prince Jin's face, so that Sister Shen must have no dealings with him.

"Zhao Ling," Lu Ming calmed down, "Tell me what happened. Have you met the King of Jin before?"

This means that they had secretly decided to get married before.

"No." Lu Zhaoling sneered.

"You're still lying!" Madam Lu lost her temper. She was so angry, "If you hadn't hooked up with Prince Jin early on, would he have come to the palace to ask for a marriage right after returning to Beijing?"

I can't even believe it!

"Believe it or not." Lu Zhaoling didn't care whether she believed it or not.

"No matter what method you use, you must cancel this marriage!" Mrs. Lu shouted angrily.

Lu Zhaoling raised an eyebrow, "No retreat."

She will have close contacts with King Jin for at least the next six months, and this identity will make things much more convenient.

"Zhao Yun is engaged to the Second Prince! The Prince of Jin is the Second Prince's uncle! If you become the Princess of Jin, the relationship will be messed up!"

Mrs. Lu called out.

Lu Zhaoling was a little surprised.

She looked at Lu Zhaoyun. Lu Zhaoyun was a little shy, a little proud, and a little angry when he glared at her.

"That's right, sister. You didn't know about this before, and Prince Jin probably didn't know either, so this misunderstanding happened."

"We don't know, and the emperor doesn't know either?" Lu Zhaoling felt curious.

The Lu family was stunned.

Yes, the emperor should know.

Lu Zhaoling smiled, "Since the emperor knows about this and has granted us the marriage, it means that the emperor also thinks that I am worthy of being your aunt."

This is funny. Will she become Lu Zhaoyun’s aunt in the future?

However, that would also require Lu Zhaoyun to really marry the second prince.
