I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

"Second sister, second sister, someone is dead!"

"Dead?" Lu Mingyang stood up in shock.

"He's not dead, he just fainted." Wei Luo, who followed Yang Nian'er into Xunyang Pavilion, corrected her frightening words. "Lu Mingfeng refused to admit it and had someone take him away. In a panic, Zhao bumped into a pillar and was carried inside. Judging from her injuries, she won't be fatal."

"He won't be harmed, will he?"

This was the first time Lu Mingyang had taken advantage of someone else. He felt uneasy and anxious, and always felt sorry for Zhao Qingqing.

"No, don't worry, cousin." Wei Luo explained, "At this critical moment, with so many people watching, we dare not cause any loss of life. Oh, and it was Commander Lu's wife who ordered them to be carried in. She seemed very happy."

Lu Xun's wife had two sons, but the title went to a bastard, which naturally made her unhappy.

"That's good!"

But Lu Mingyang was still a little worried. She remembered that Wang Hu, who worked in the front yard, had a cousin living in Lu Xun's house, so she asked him to go and ask around to see if he could find out anything.

They stayed in Xiuyuan Pavilion waiting for news.

Yang Nian'er was so preoccupied with what was happening over there that she couldn't continue reading. She asked, "Second sister, you mentioned such a good thing, why didn't Commander Lu let his eldest son be adopted?"

"Don't want your eldest son to wear mourning for others?" Lu Mingyang guessed and looked at Wei Luo. Wei Luo also shook his head and looked at Yang Nian'er again.

Yang Nian'er thought for a moment and said, "I guess he must like the concubine more. So, he loves the concubine more."

"Sister Nian'er is right!"

Wei Luo clapped his hands in admiration, and the two of them sang in unison and even started to write a storybook, which left Lu Mingyang stunned.

How is it right?

She felt that her presence here was a bit of an eyesore. Fortunately, the person who went to get the news came back.

Zhong Bo personally led people over.

Wang Hu said, "Fourth Miss, my cousin said that the person is fine and has woken up. He also said that he is afraid that the candidate for adoption will not be chosen by Commander Lu's family."

"Why?" Lu Mingyang remembered that he had five sons.

"Commander Lu and Master Lu started arguing. He was far away and Commander Lu's voice was low, so he didn't hear anything. He just heard Master Tai yelling a few words."

Wang Hu said this, repeating what he heard word for word.

"What do you mean by relying on himself? Did Lu Shao become the Marquis of Chengyang on his own?"

"Do you think that just because you are capable, everyone else is as capable as you?"

"Am I not planning for my grandson, only to wait for someone else to snatch him away?"

As Lu Mingyang listened, a thought crossed his mind: "Could it be that Lu Xun doesn't know about the selection?"

She had heard about his sons. At least when it came to studying, Lu Mingfeng was the worst. If he really was the one to choose, he probably wouldn't have chosen Lu Mingfeng.

Could it be that his second grandfather had hidden it from him and had someone report it?

But it made no difference to Lu Mingyang who chose her, so she didn't dwell on it and just waited quietly for the result.

The news of Lu Mingfeng's misconduct spread throughout the capital, and this was inevitably fueled by the Lu clan members, especially those with sons of marriageable age, who even went to the clan house to report it.

The name was already drafted by the Imperial Clan Court, but it was kept in the palace and reported to the emperor immediately. At that time, Concubine Song was in the Qinzheng Hall, dining with the emperor.

After the clan officials left, the emperor said with a smile, "Perhaps one of the Lu family members was jealous. Since they didn't get what they wanted, they came up with evil ideas. It's also his own fault for not being disciplined."

It turns out that Your Majesty did not want Lu Xun's son to inherit the title of Marquis of Chengyang, but why did Your Majesty agree to it?

Concubine Song was a little confused, but she didn't dare to ask, and silently picked up some food for the emperor. The emperor became interested and asked, "My dear, who do you think it is?"

Concubine Song was suddenly startled, feeling that the emperor was testing her. She shook her head hastily, "How would I know?"

The emperor shook Concubine Song's hand and continued, "With Commander Lu's methods, it's not certain who would dare to plot against his son. Who in the Lu family is so bold, unless someone is backing him up and promising him the title of Marquis of Chengyang."

After leaving the Qinzheng Hall, Concubine Song's hands were still shaking as she hurried to the Wenhua Hall. Fortunately, Song Wei was there today.

"Second brother, you wanted to arrange for one of your own to be the Marquis of Chengyang, and you designed Lu Mingfeng?"

Song Wei shook his head, "Lu Mingfeng did come to me to surrender."

Concubine Song asked anxiously, "Did you promise him?"

"No!" Song Wei said disdainfully, "Lu Mingfeng is short-sighted and greedy. He's unlikely to achieve anything great. I was just giving him a few perfunctory words. I won't let him ruin our plans."

"That's good, that's good!" Concubine Song was still in shock. "Your Majesty will definitely send someone to investigate. I was really worried that it was you."

Song Wei asked, "Eldest sister, who do you think set him up? King Ningyuan? But it's only been a few days. How could the Lu family have his own people to arrange?"

Concubine Song also found it unlikely: "Could it really be someone from the Lu family who is so jealous that they would take such a risk?"

"Don't worry, elder sister. I will find out everything."

At this point, Song Wei's eyes lit up. "Pharmacist Ge has already been found. He was able to rush to the capital before Prince Ningyuan's wedding. Since His Majesty will send people to investigate secretly, if the person behind this can be linked to Prince Ningyuan, and His Majesty happens to find out that Prince Ningyuan is feigning illness at that time, he will definitely be furious."

"No!" Concubine Song had no way of hesitating. "Your Majesty is very suspicious, and when it comes to the power of the previous dynasty, he will not tolerate anyone coveting it. Therefore, you must not set your sights on the matter of enthroning the Marquis of Chengyang, nor even get involved in it."

Imperial power is the emperor's biggest taboo.

Although his son was the emperor's only son, what if he accidentally gave birth to another child? Moreover, there were precedents of killing the mother to establish a son in the past dynasties.

She must be extremely cautious and careful before she can sit in the position that women in the world most desire.

Song Wei looked at his elder sister's back, frowning slightly. "The emperor's favor is like a passing cloud. If I don't have bargaining chips to make him afraid, am I just going to be slaughtered by the emperor?"

……

The emperor showed no hesitation in deciding whether Lu Mingfeng would inherit the title of Marquis of Chengyang, and instead ordered the Lu clan to submit a new candidate. Upon hearing the news, Lu Mingyang happily ran to the Marquis Zhongxin's residence.

"Eldest sister, let's go and take you somewhere."

"Fourth Miss, it's cold outside. It's not suitable for the eldest girl to go out now." Zhu Xin hurriedly stopped her own girl.

Seeing his sister so happy, Lu Mingyuan couldn't bear to spoil her fun, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I want to go out for a walk too."

"Zhu Xin, you stay and look after the young master. I'll go with the young lady."

Ever since the Fourth Lady saved her daughter, Qin Xin had always trusted her. She put a cloak on Lu Mingyuan and helped her out.

In the carriage, Lu Mingyang wrapped his eldest sister's cloak around her again, hugged her tightly, and laid on her shoulders, nuzzling her fragrant face. He looked like a pug.
