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

Lu Mingyuan, who was walking in front, heard the noise and turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

"fine!"

With the support of Aunt Liu, Lu Mingqin pretended to be calm and walked into the carriage.

In the carriage, Lu Mingyuan sat in the middle, while Lu Mingqin and Lu Mingyang sat on both sides, and the room was filled with the fragrance of orchids.

After coming to the capital, Lu Mingyang had seen the most noble concubines and princesses, as well as the quiet and dignified ladies from aristocratic families, but she never felt anything was wrong. But when she saw Lu Mingyuan, she felt deeply inferior for the first time.

It seems like it’s because of appearance, but also seems not to be.

"what happened?"

Lu Mingyuan felt that his sister was a little embarrassed when he met her for the first time, so he held her hand.

Lu Mingyang blurted out: "Why did you save me?"

"You're my sister!"

It was a simple sentence, spoken calmly, without any ups and downs, as if eating was the only way for people to survive, and it was natural and did not require any additional reasons.

But when Lu Mingyang heard it, he felt even more unable to bear it.

"How much silver is that death-free iron scroll worth? I'll find a way to return it to my eldest sister."

"That was a gift from Emperor Taizu to our ancestors. There are only ten of them in the world now. How dare you ask for silver?" Lu Mingqin snorted in disdain. "Really? People like you have never seen such good things before. You only know..."

Receiving the gaze from his elder sister, Lu Mingqin swallowed the word "money" back into his stomach.

"It's not all about you."

Lu Mingyuan's eyes gradually welled up with tears as he looked at Lu Mingyang, but they were covered by her gentle smile. "Your Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation of the rumors, which can be regarded as preserving my father's reputation. Don't think too much about it."

Lu Mingyang stopped talking and quietly felt the warmth in her palm.

Lu Mingyuan looked at Lu Mingqin and asked coldly, "Why did you go to testify? Who instigated you?"

"No! I just want to save my fourth sister." Seeing that her eldest sister didn't believe her, Lu Mingqin cried, "Although I don't like her, I'm also afraid that her reputation will be damaged and affect my marriage."

"Then do you know what the consequences will be if you speak out about something that His Majesty has ordered to be kept silent?"

Lu Mingqin was so frightened that her face turned pale. Lu Mingyuan didn't say anything more. He took the fifth sister's hand, put it in the fourth sister's hand, and held it tightly.

"I know you two have a grudge, but let's put it behind us today. We are the only three sisters left in the Chengyang Marquisate. Everything will be difficult. You must support each other and never quarrel again."

Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingqin looked at each other and nodded obediently.

The carriage reached the Chengyang Marquis Mansion and slowly stopped.

The white jade fingers lifted the brocade curtain, and Lu Mingyuan looked at the familiar door of his home for a long time, and finally looked away reluctantly.

"Go home. I'll come see you guys when I have time."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Zhong, who had returned to the Chengyang Marquis's Mansion earlier, came out with hurried steps and reported in a low voice: "Miss, the son-in-law is here."

Is that Chen Hong, the Earl of Loyalty and Trust?

Seeing her older sister struggling to stand up despite her heavy belly, Lu Mingyang reached out to help her, but Lu Mingqin blocked her way and got there first. She then followed them silently.

As they reached the courtyard, Earl Zhongxin, who had been waiting in the main hall, emerged, flanked by a flamboyant concubine. He was dressed in dark casual clothes, looking dusty and exhausted, clearly having hurried in a hurry. He was a respectable man, but he seemed a little under the weather. He couldn't quite pinpoint the cause.

Now, there was even more anger between his brows.

"Husband!" Lu Mingyuan stepped forward and saluted.

With a snap, Chen Hong raised his hand and slapped him.

Lu Mingyuan stumbled back, and Lu Mingyang hurried forward to support her. Qin Xin hurriedly stood beside her daughter, her eyes wide in shock: "How dare you hit a girl?"

She thought she was the powerful daughter of the Chengyang Marquisate. Aunt Sun, who was standing next to Chen Hong, admired the scene and smiled triumphantly.

"Sister, don't blame the Lord. You really went too far. You didn't even discuss with the Lord about something as important as the Death-Immune Gold Medal before giving it to someone else."

Lu Mingyuan looked at Chen Hong and said calmly, "That was the dowry my father gave me, so it should naturally be used by the people in the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion."

"Oh, sister." Aunt Sun took Chen Hong's arm and complained distressedly, "You are now the daughter of a criminal, and the Lord has kept you in the mansion as a mistress. What a great favor! You are ungrateful, and I am giving you back what is yours. It really makes the Lord feel heartbroken."

"Since you are obsessed with Chengyang Marquis Mansion, then stay here and there is no need to go back." Chen Hong left angrily.

Zhu Xin hurriedly chased after him, knelt in front of Chen Hong, and grabbed the corner of his clothes and refused to let go.

"Sir, calm down. It's not that the young lady doesn't want to discuss this with you, but it's urgent and she can't find you. Please, for the sake of the baby in her belly, spare her this time."

Qin Xin, Zhong Bo and all the servants of Chengyang Marquis' Mansion knelt down and begged for mercy.

Aunt Sun scolded, "Are all of you Chengyang Marquis's people so unruly?"

Chen Hong turned sideways and looked at Lu Mingyuan expressionlessly, his eyes dark and unclear, not knowing whether it was anger or anger.

Lu Mingyuan let go of his sister's hand and walked over.

"I was inappropriate in what happened today. It doesn't matter how you punish me, my husband. But your promotion banquet is coming up soon. Although Sister Sun is smart, I have been in charge of this matter all along. If I hand it over to Sister Sun hastily, and something goes wrong, it will be disgraceful for your husband."

Aunt Sun thought about this and her heart skipped a beat. She whispered in Chen Hong's ear, "There's no money in the account."

Lu Mingyuan used her own dowry to pay for the promotion banquet.

Chen Hong awkwardly pushed Aunt Sun away and asked coldly, "Is it just inappropriate?"

Lu Mingyuan clutched her clothes tightly and knelt straight down. Everyone was in an uproar, but she felt as if the kneeling legs were not her own.

"I know I was wrong, and I beg for your forgiveness, my husband."

Chen Hong was also confused. He took a step forward and raised his hand to touch her cheek, which he hadn't touched for a long time. It seemed to be a little rougher than before, which only made her feel more pitiful and distressed.

Lu Mingyuan held his hand and looked up, his eyes fluttering, fluttering straight into people's hearts.

He suddenly felt that the distance between him and Lu Mingyuan had shortened considerably since she lost her backer. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a bit of pity and heartache.

"It won't happen again."

"Thank you husband!"

Bean-sized tears fell into Chen Hong's palm, searing his heart. Alas, no matter how powerful a woman was, she was always afraid for the little favor he gave her. It was time to show her some love.

"It would be better if you figured it out sooner. I have something else to do in the camp, so you go back first. I'll stay with you tonight."

what?

Aunt Sun almost thought she had misheard and felt very upset. When she saw him help Lu Mingyuan up and turn to leave, she hurriedly chased after him.
