"what?"

Sun Yingying's eyes widened.

"Lu Zhaoyun, you actually want to harm Sister Zhao Ling!"

Lu Anfan didn't expect that Lu Zhaoling would talk about this directly in front of others.

Lu Zhaoyun's face changed, "Why are you slandering me like this? I've never done it!"

Lu Anjin's voice was heard from outside again, "Big sister, second brother, hurry up, the imperial edict has arrived, and father said everyone should go out to receive it."

Lu Anjin was running out of breath, and there were not enough servants in the house. His father took one glance at him and directly ordered him to run errands.

His short legs were so tired from running.

But after hearing the warm building, he didn't dare to go in. He ran in and shouted, then quickly turned around and ran out.

Lu Zhaoling stood up, looked at Lu Zhaoyun, and said casually, "It's too late. The imperial edict has arrived. Let's go, Miss Lu, to welcome the most important moment in your life."

After that, I hope you can withstand the blow.

Lu Zhaoyun always felt that she emphasized the word "young lady" with particular emphasis, which made her feel uneasy.

"Big sister, let's go."

Lu Anfan looked at her with a complicated expression.

Lu Zhaoyun glared at Sun Yingying with resentment. It was because of her, an outsider, who was making trouble and wasting her time.

She took a deep breath and looked at Lu Zhaoling, "A concubine is a concubine!"

She admitted it, but so what if she was just a concubine?

"The prince's concubine is completely different from an ordinary concubine." If the second prince can really sit in that position in the future, then she will be the imperial concubine.

Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is also extremely noble!

Since there was no other way out and things had come to this point, Lu Zhaoyun convinced himself to accept reality.

"As long as the Second Prince treats me well and pampers me, that is the most important thing."

If she can appease the Second Prince, she will have the opportunity to replace the Queen in the future. What if something happens to the Queen?

Nothing is set in stone yet, everything is possible.

"Okay, then go and receive the order." Lu Zhaoling smiled.

Lu Zhaoyun turned around and left angrily.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Sun Yingying and asked, "Are you here today because of Lin Yiru's matter?"

"Sister Zhao Ling, you are amazing. You have guessed this."

What's so amazing about this? Hasn't she been busy helping Lin Yiru recently?

"Is she okay now?"

"It's alright for now. My eldest brother is helping. Sister Zhao Ling, go and receive the decree first. I'll go join in the fun too?"

"Walk."

Lu Zhaoling also wanted to join in the fun.

She arrived late and didn't expect that the messenger was still waiting.

The Lu family members stood together, all with strange expressions. Lu Ming and Lu Anrong looked a little more normal, with some smiling.

When they saw her coming, they felt relieved but also a little aggrieved.

Because the messenger actually asked, where is Miss Lu? We have to wait until Miss Lu arrives before we can announce the decree.

"Zhao Ling, why are you here just now?" Mrs. Lu wanted to make trouble as if by reflex as soon as she saw Lu Zhaoling.

The imperial edict messenger exclaimed, "Is Madam Lu always talking to the Second Miss like this at home?"

His expression was so surprised and his tone was so confused.

Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Of course not, my wife is just worried that my father-in-law will wait for too long, so she is a little anxious..."

"Isn't it our duty to wait for the second young lady?" The official delivering the imperial decree was even more surprised, and hurried to meet Lu Zhaoling.

"The servant Qin Sheng greets the Second Young Lady."

"Thank you, Eunuch Qin." Lu Zhaoling looked at the messenger and smiled, "I can see that everything has been going well for you recently, so you may have some small surprises."

This sounds like auspicious words to others.

The people of the Lu family thought that Lu Zhaoling was just trying to flatter the official who delivered the imperial edict, but the official's eyes lit up and he was very happy.

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss. Hearing you say that, I feel much more at ease."

He was working on something recently and wasn't sure if it would succeed. Now after hearing what the second young lady said, he felt things were going well.

The Second Miss's simple words made him feel comfortable.

The Lu family was depressed.

Should the decree be announced or not?

Fortunately, Lu Zhaoling also wanted to announce the decree quickly, so she reminded Eunuch Qin.

"Lu Zhaoyun accepts the order." Eunuch Tan opened the imperial edict.

Everyone in the Lu family knelt down, and Sun Yingying, who came over to join in the fun, also knelt down in the corner.

"Second Miss, His Highness said you don't have to kneel." Eunuch Qin quickly said to Lu Zhaoling.

However, after he finished speaking, he realized that Lu Zhaoling seemed to have no intention of kneeling down and was standing still.

Lu Zhaoyue couldn't help but said, "Eunuch Qin, why can she not kneel? This is the emperor's order. Which prince can exempt her from kneeling?"

I just don’t accept it!

Eunuch Qin glanced at her and frowned.

"Of course it's His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin doesn't need to kneel down when he enters the palace to see the emperor. The Second Miss is the future Princess of Jin. His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has already asked the emperor for mercy and exempted the Second Miss from kneeling down."

What? Are you dissatisfied?

If you are not satisfied, go and seek justice from His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

Eunuch Qin rolled his eyes and started yelling at Lu Ming in a shrill, sarcastic voice.

"Lord Lu, the Second Miss is the future Princess of Jin. Hasn't your family gotten used to her honorable status? Judging from her age, the person who just spoke should be the Second Miss's younger sister, right?"

Lu Zhaoling said, "Yeah, number three."

"Oh, you're already ranked third, why do you have such strong malice towards the Second Miss?" Eunuch Tan curled his lips, raised his little finger on the hand holding the imperial edict, and twisted his body, "I don't know if His Royal Highness Prince Jin knows about it."

Lu Zhaoyue’s face turned pale.

You're not going to complain!

This damn eunuch is actually on Lu Zhaoling's side!

"Master Lu, your mistress is glaring at us." Eunuch Qin immediately shouted.

"Zhaoyue!" Lu Ming glared at Lu Zhaoyue and shouted sternly, "Apologize to Eunuch Tan! Apologize to your second sister!"

Lu Zhaoyue's eyes were red and she felt very aggrieved.

Lu Anrong quickly patted the back of her hand and whispered, "We'll talk about it later."

Lu Zhaoyue was reluctant, "I'm sorry, Second Sister, I'm sorry, Eunuch Tan."

"There's nothing wrong with our family. We're not petty people. We're just worried that Miss Lu will get into trouble when she goes out."

Eunuch Tan's expression eased. "After all, the Lu family now has a princess and a concubine for the prince. Lord Lu, don't you agree?"

Lu Ming could only say yes.

He was also very annoyed in his heart. A eunuch was meddling in his family affairs? When he climbed up the social ladder in the future, he would make sure these people would bow and scrape before him!

Only then did Eunuch Qin announce the decree.

Lu Zhaoyun felt weak and was a little dazed after receiving the imperial edict.

It is really set in stone, she is a concubine.

"I wonder if the candidate for the main wife has been chosen?" Lu Ming stuffed a silver bag into Eunuch Qin's hand and asked in a low voice.

Eunuch Qin took it and put it into his sleeve pocket with skillful movements.

"It doesn't matter if I say it. Another imperial decree has been passed in the palace. The emperor has chosen General Qiu's daughter, Qiu Yunzhen, as the principal wife for the second prince."

Lu Zhaoling was stunned.
