Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 122: Imperial Decree (4)
Sister Xi also got up early, and when Yuan Lu called for someone to invite her, she was already ready.

Yuan Lu said helplessly: "You always get up so early, it seems that I am getting more and more lazy."

Sister Xi went out to play with her yesterday, and her mood was much more open. "Auntie is not in good health and has been working hard all day. She should take a break."

Yuan Lu reached out and touched her face, "Small mouth is so sweet, I'll give you some fruit later."

The two sat together and drank a cup of Guanyan, then went to the old lady's yard to say hello.

Not long after the old lady got up, she saw them so early and said: "At least I have a conscience, and I know to come earlier."

Yuan Lu said: "That's right, if I miss the hour again, I don't need you to tell me, I will have to punish myself."

The old lady said she was poor-mouthed, and asked Sister Xi to come forward: "I came back last night and saw that you were not in a good mood. Did you feel better after a night's rest?"

Sister Xi smiled and said, "All will be fine once you sleep."

"I didn't ask you yesterday, did you go to play?"

Sister Xi nodded: "It's all good, my grandparents' family is very kind, and I even accepted the gift." Then she showed the little golden statue on her neck to her grandmother.

The old lady had already noticed something on the necks of the two brothers yesterday, so she specially asked her to ask about it, fearing that sister Xi would be missed alone.

Yuan Lu could understand it naturally, she thought to herself that this old lady said that her granddaughter hurt her and let her take care of it, but she was afraid that she might neglect her sister somewhere.Thinking of this, a three-point smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Soon, the whole family got together and were preparing to eat the food together.Suddenly, a steward came to report that a father-in-law had come to read the imperial edict.

It happened so suddenly that no one was prepared.Instead, Yuan Lu calmed down first, and called for someone to find Mama Shi, and asked her to go ahead and talk to her father-in-law for a while.She and the old lady went back to their rooms to change their clothes.

Mrs. Shi went to the front yard, and as usual, gave the filial piety first, and the father-in-law weighed the purse with a smile on his face, and accepted it without changing his face.

This Yuan Lu and the old lady also changed their clothes and came out.

The father-in-law cleared his throat, and said in a clear voice: "The emperor's dictation, the eldest son of the Duke of Xuancheng, Gao Hong, will have an audience."

With just one word from the emperor, Yuan Lu and the old lady were supported to stand up.

The father-in-law cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The old lady is very happy."

Yuan Lu winked, and Mama Shi stuffed another red envelope.

He continued: "The emperor remembered that the eighth prince was going to study in the Wenhua Palace after the new year, and wanted to find him a similar age to study with him. The queen mother said that the eldest son of the family is smart and intelligent, The emperor summoned the eldest son today for this purpose... If this is done, the eldest son will walk in the palace in the future."

He spoke very earnestly, but the atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Not to mention the old lady, even Yuan Lu gasped.That is a palace that cannibalize people without spitting out bones. Who is willing to send such a young child to the palace? !It's not a family that relies on this to gain a bright future... Besides, there is a queen in it!How can she be kind!
