After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Princess Changle was very moved and said excitedly, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Princess Qingping and Princess Yong'an looked at each other. They had been close since childhood and had heard a lot of gossip from the palace servants. However, they had been together since childhood, so the relationship between them naturally could not be disturbed by a few words from others.

Lu Lingyuan smiled at her and said gently, "What's the big deal? This is what mother meant. Although my sisters are not hers, as her legal mother, she will not be biased."

"Thank you, mother, and thank you, sister-in-law!" Princess Qingping and Princess Yong'an also hurried to express their gratitude.

Princess Qingping looks very much like Xiao Xuanchen, but her temperament is somewhat like that of the daring and domineering Concubine Chen, and she is particularly strong-willed.

Princess Yong'an has a gentle personality. She sits next to Princess Qingping, obedient and well-behaved, but she is also the most easily ignored.

When the two of them heard what Lu Lingyuan said, ripples appeared in their hearts. A woman's marriage is a major event in life, and this is also an opportunity for the two of them to change their destiny.

……

Lu Lingyuan stayed in Yongzhang Palace for a while and then returned to Weiyang Palace. When Xiao Chengji came back in the evening, she mentioned it in passing.

"Is this what you mean?" Xiao Chengji's expression was a little complicated.

Lu Lingyuan replied calmly, "This is also what mother meant. Sister Changle's status is there. After all, she is the eldest daughter of the late emperor. Although her mother was deposed, she is still a princess of the royal family. If she marries someone of too low status, it will inevitably cause gossip."

"But if I marry into a wealthy family, those aristocratic families will inevitably look down on me. So after much thought, I still think it would be best to choose someone with noble character and simple family background from this year's new Jinshi!" Lu Lingyuan carefully observed his face.

Xiao Chengji had no feelings for this concubine sister. The nobles in the court would definitely not want to marry a princess whose biological mother was a criminal. However, the princess's husband's family background could not be too low. So...

"Changle's marriage will be chosen from this year's new scholars! As for Qingping and Yong'an, we'll talk about it later! We can't marry all three of my sisters off to poor families!" Xiao Chengji said in a deep voice.

Lu Lingyuan nodded slightly and continued, "Yes, I understand. I think that the Xin Guogong Mansion is actually not bad. Since the old Duke passed away in the past few years, the Xin Guogong Mansion has not been as good as before, but after all, it is an old noble family. I think it is not a bad idea to give Sister Qingping more dowry when the time comes."

"Also, I have been preparing for the palace banquet for the Flower Festival these days. I heard that His Majesty summoned the head of the imperial merchant Lu family a few days ago. Is this true?" Lu Lingyuan leaned forward and asked softly.

"What you mean is..." Xiao Chengji's face changed slightly, and his expression was thoughtful.

Lu Lingyuan looked calm and continued, "Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, the status of merchants is indeed lower, but His Majesty has summoned the head of the Lu family and personally bestowed a plaque on him. With His Majesty's praise, if he marries the princess, the status of the Lu family will naturally rise, and no one will look down on Sister Yongan."

"Besides, the Lu family is very wealthy, so it is not unfair for Sister Yong'an to marry into the family. Sister Changle married a lower-class man, but the man she married is a future pillar of the court; Sister Qingping married into a noble family, which can be regarded as Your Majesty's favor to the Xin Guo Mansion; Sister Yong'an married into a merchant family, which is Your Majesty's favor."

“Half a year ago, Your Majesty wanted to build water conservancy projects and open a canal, but the national treasury was out of money. If we gave the merchants a little favor at this time, wouldn’t a lot of money come in?” Lu Lingyuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a dignified look. She was worthy of being the legitimate daughter taught by the Fanyang Lu family. Her vision and pattern were not comparable to those of ordinary women.

"The Queen's action has brought me fame and money, and the people have gained tangible benefits. It's a three-pronged approach!" Xiao Chengji looked at her with amazement and gratitude. The best decision he had made in his life was to make her the Queen.

Xiao Chengji lifted her chin, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at her as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

Lu Lingyuan lowered her eyes and smiled softly, "My mother entrusted me with this, and it is my duty. I dare not take credit for it!"

Xiao Chengji put his arm around her waist, with an unstoppable smile on his face, and said very proudly: "I am very glad that I forced you to marry me. You are simply a rare treasure!" After that, he kissed Lu Lingyuan fiercely on the lips.

Lu Lingyuan didn't have time to react for a moment, and her expression instantly became indifferent.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Chengji asked.

"It's okay!" Lu Lingyuan shook her head slightly and continued, "No...it's late, let's rest!" After Lu Lingyuan finished speaking, she lay down on her side.

Xiao Chengji's eyes changed slightly, gradually darkening, and he said angrily: "You still can't accept me, right?"

Although she didn't show it on the surface these days, he was willing to play deaf and dumb and pretend that he knew nothing.

But now, it's impossible.

Lu Lingyuan looked at him calmly and said slowly, "Your Majesty, what do you mean? I don't understand!"

"I am now the queen and your majesty's wife. Apart from this, I don't know what else to say?" Lu Lingyuan had no expression on her face, she just looked at him steadily.

After hearing these words, Xiao Chengji's expression gradually eased. Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Chengji pressed Lu Lingyuan under him with some anger, and eagerly held her red lips, biting and kissing her. The next second, Xiao Shuyue's pajamas were thrown to the ground, revealing her round shoulders.

Xiao Chengji was shirtless, his eyes full of lust, and his big hands wandered over her body, causing Lu Lingyuan to tremble all over.

Then Xiao Chengji stayed on her waist, pinching it lightly and heavily. "Hmm..." Lu Lingyuan couldn't help but moaned.

Xiao Chengji had a malicious smile on his face. He leaned over and blew into her ear, then said in a hoarse voice, "Scream out. I want to hear you scream." Then he bit her earlobe. The next moment, Lu Lingyuan felt a chill all over her body and screamed out, "Ah..."

Xiao Chengji held her in his arms and kissed her neck. He couldn't let her go and kissed her passionately, from her eyes, nose, lips, and collarbone...

Lu Lingyuan closed her eyes lightly and placed her hands on his shoulders. Her fingertips had turned slightly white from using too much force.

……

After it was over, Xiao Chengji gently stroked her cheek with complex emotions in his eyes. No matter what happened in the past, at least now she completely belonged to him.

From now on, there will only be him, this is a fact that cannot be changed in this lifetime, and that is enough.

Lu Lingyuan was too tired and fell into a deep sleep. Xiao Chengji held her in his arms, holding her waist with both hands, and refused to let go.
