Chapter 508 I am your brother
Duke Anguo continued, "It has been more than a year since the Eighth Prince returned to the capital. The Emperor has secretly selected a suitable candidate for the Imperial Concubine for the Eighth Prince. To be honest, if you want the Emperor to approve of you, your family background is a little lacking, so the Empress thought about it and asked me to adopt you as her adopted daughter. In this way, you have the support of Duke Anguo, and the Eighth Prince likes you, so the Emperor will be more likely to agree to this marriage."
If the Eighth Prince insists on his own way, even if the Emperor will compromise for the sake of his son, Lu Xiang will not be recognized by the Emperor.
As a result, the position is unstable.
Although Lu Youping served as the Minister of Works, the Lu family had no foundation and could not be a help to the Eighth Prince for the Emperor.
But the Song family is different.
Once Lu Xiang becomes his adopted daughter and marries the Eighth Prince, the Song family will have no choice but to stand behind the Eighth Prince. This is something the Emperor would be happy to see.
Lu Xiang couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
The Queen Mother thought of her wholeheartedly and treated her like her own daughter.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Madam Queen and the Duke. Lu Xiang has no way to repay you."
Duke Anguo looked at the apology in Lu Xiang's eyes and laughed loudly, "Xiangxiang, can I call you that?"
"kindness."
"You must have something precious about you to make the queen like you so much. I got a daughter for free, which is not a loss. If you feel bad, just be more filial to your father in the future."
When my sister entered the palace as queen, the Song family was her strongest support.
Already in the vortex of power, the Song family cannot remain immune.
Since she wants to support the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne, he will do his best to help her and help the Song family reach a higher level.
"Your Excellency is overpraising me. Lu Xiang will never bring disgrace upon the Song family."
Looking at the confident look in Lu Xiang's eyes and her generous smile, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and felt relieved that the daughter of the Song family was indeed like this.
"Still calling me Duke?"
Lu Xiang smiled: "Adoptive father."
"Yeah." Duke Anguo replied with a smile, "I'll go back to the mansion and choose an auspicious day to invite my friends to a banquet and officially recognize you as my daughter."
Lu Xiang: "Thank you, foster father."
After getting Lu Xiang's consent, Duke Anguo did not stay any longer. He said goodbye to Lu Youping and the old lady and left.
Lu Youping stared blankly at the hurried back of Duke Anguo: "He just left like that..."
The old lady looked at Lu Xiang and asked, "Have you reached an agreement?"
Lu Xiang smiled and nodded.
Hearing this, Lu Youping immediately rushed to Lu Xiang and rubbed his hands nervously: "My dear daughter, you didn't do anything stupid, did you?"
Lu Xiang: “…”
In fact, she also wants to change her father.
"The Duke said that he would pick an auspicious day when he got back and invite all relatives and friends to a banquet to formally recognize me as his adopted daughter."
After saying this, Lu Youping burst into laughter: "Okay, okay, okay, my daughter, this is a wise decision. In this way, the Duke of Anguo and I are relatives!"
The corner of Lu Xiang's mouth twitched slightly!
God, my dear relatives...
"Ignore your father." The old lady gave her son a disdainful look and pulled Lu Xiang away: "It will be of great benefit to you to become the adopted daughter of the Duke of Anguo. This way, your status will be more compatible with that of the Eighth Prince."
"That's what Duke Anguo said. The Emperor has high hopes for His Majesty the Eighth Prince and is very careful in selecting the Imperial Concubine. When the Empress learned about this, she decided to let Duke Anguo recognize me as his adopted daughter."
The old lady nodded in understanding: "Your Majesty is really thoughtful. The Queen's love for you is something that our Lu family cannot repay."
…
The next day.
Lu Xiang was having breakfast when Yun Zhai's greeting was heard outside the house.
"Good luck to the eldest young master, and good luck to the eldest young mistress."
When I looked up, I saw Qiao Jingru and Lu Chao coming together.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Lu Xiang called out, "Have you had breakfast?"
Lu Chao: "I'm so angry that I can't eat."
Lu Xiang looked at him in confusion, and then asked Qiao Jingru: "What's wrong with him? Did the people in Jingzhao Prefecture make him angry?"
Qiao Jingru glanced at Lu Chao speechlessly and said with a smile: "Don't listen to him, we've already eaten."
"Eating already doesn't prevent me from having another meal. What's wrong with me eating my own sister's breakfast? Yunzhe, Wuyue, serve this young master some porridge."
After hearing this, Yunzha and Wuyue hurriedly prepared bowls and chopsticks, and served a bowl of porridge to Lu Chao and Qiao Jingru respectively and placed them in front of them.
Lu Xiang looked at Lu Chao, who looked like someone who owed him money and refused to pay it back, and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Brother, speak human language."
Qiao Jingru glared at Lu Chao and smiled at Lu Xiang, "We came back last night and heard that Duke Anguo came to discuss with Dad about adopting you as his adopted daughter. When your eldest brother heard about this, his face turned black. If you didn't know, you would think his wife ran off with someone."
When Lu Chao heard Qiao Jingru's description, he felt terrible: "What do you mean, my wife ran away with someone? Qiao Qiao, that's not right. Change someone else's words."
"Come on, be serious." Qiao Jingru said.
Lu Xiang looked at Lu Chao in surprise: "So you are jealous? Because the Duke of Anguo didn't adopt you as his adopted son?"
Lu Chao: “…”
What kind of logic is this girl?
Is he such a person?
Lu Chao's face turned even darker, and he angrily poked the dumplings on the plate with the chopsticks in his hand, almost tearing the dumplings to pieces.
After a long while, he said quietly, "Ahem... you will become the adopted daughter of the Song family in the future. Although you call the Prince of Anguo the brother, you must remember that I am your real brother. You must clearly distinguish between closeness and distance, don't you?"
Lu Xiang: “…”
What the hell is going on with this tone of competing for favor?
Lu Chao looked at Lu Xiang's dazed expression and suddenly became anxious.
He put down the chopsticks in his hand, grabbed Lu Xiang's hands and said earnestly: "Sister, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are connected. The blood relationship between us cannot be erased. The weeds outside are nothing but clouds. Song Yanjun has his own sister. We don't need his love. We have our big brother. He will definitely love you and protect you in the future. You can't let him seduce you away."
Lu Chao felt heartbroken.
I haven't even gained enough favor in front of my sister yet, and she is being snatched away by someone else for no reason. I am so heartbroken.
You have to know that Song Yanjun is so outstanding, handsome, talented, and the commander of the Beijing Camp Guards who holds real power. He also dotes on his only sister to the core.
In contrast, Lu Chao found himself being left in the dust when it came to being the eldest brother.
After hearing this, Lu Xiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and the corners of his speechless mouth twitched.
What weeds, what hookups!
If someone who didn't know heard this, they would think she was going to have an affair.
"Brother, that's enough." Lu Xiang pulled back his hand: "Duke An only recognized me as his adopted daughter. I am not severing ties with the Lu family and moving to the Song family."
After saying this, he continued to drink his porridge, but his curved eyes were filled with an unconcealable smile.
Although Lu Chao was a bit of a bastard in the past, he has reformed now. As his younger sister, she feels warm in her heart that he cares so much about her.
