Chapter 41: The fool and the daughter-in-law became sister-in-law
Lin Chujiu is a strong and insolent woman, so the palace guards didnt dare to make things difficult for her again. While the Crown Prince could not only stop Lin Chujiu but also experience a big loss.
So at that moment, Crown Prince Xiao Tianrui couldnt help but gritted his teeth while looking at the carriage getting farther away. Right now, he could only be patient. Who let Lin Chujiu become Prince Xiaos wangfei anyway? If she didnt become his Imperial Aunt then he could scold her anytime.
Lin Chujiu scolding the eunuch and the palace guards in front of the palace gate immediately spread. So, the palace people didnt dare to offend her and when she arrived. They immediately prepare a chair for her, so that she could rest.
Originally, she should visit the palace with Prince Xiao. But, because of physical discomfort, he couldnt come with her. However, the visiting procedure is still the same.
After she rests for a bit. They took Lin Chujiu to the emperor. Lin Chujiu kneel in front of him and pay respect. Fortunately, the emperor didnt embarrass her and just asked how is she and what had happened in front of the palace gate.
The emperors words are very friendly as if he is trying to coax a fool. However, Lin Chujiu only said what happened and incited the words that Xiao Tianyao has instructed.
Lin Chujiu know that the emperor is treating her like this because of the original owner of the bodys reputation. Before, Lin Furen let her act unruly, capricious, ignorant, reckless and scheming girl.
If she was still the previous Lin Chujiu, she will definite follow the emperors words. But unfortunately, she is not the silly Lin Chujiu! If she was still the same, Xiao Tianyao wont let her enter the palace alone.
Now, whatever she do, she is representing the Xiao Wangfu and Prince Xiaos face. So, she wouldnt do and say what she shouldnt. However, if she does, Xiao Tianyao must clean up her mess.
Lin Chujiu is not stupid to cant understand what the emperor really want her to say. But, she also doesnt want the emperor to see her shrewd side. So, she just silly reported that the palace guards embarrassed her, didnt allowed her to enter the palace with her carriage, the crown prince didnt greet and called her by her name as if she was only a servant in Xiao Wangfu.
Zhenzhu and Manao felt like they got shot by an arrow with her acting!
After all, Lin Chujiu only said a bunch of words about how bad the people of the palace treated her and didnt even said a thing about Xiao Wangfu. The emperor frowns his eyebrows, he couldnt tell if Lin Chujiu is a fool or just acting like a fool. But
If she is a fool, then why she havent got his hint?
If she is acting like a fool, then how could she just complain about how bad is his people in front of him?
Or is he the fool for expecting something from Lin Chujiu?
Lin Chujiu wanted to see the emperor get dissatisfied and impatient. So, she keeps talking about the bad side of the palace and didnt stop.
Hungshng (Emperor), whenever I visit the palace before I didnt encounter any trouble. But now, why did I encounter so many bad things? Did Hungshng bestow me with an unlucky marriage? Isnt my identity as Princess Xiao is much higher than before when Im only the eldest miss of Lin Family? So, why now I get in trouble? And also, it seems the crown prince is now allowed to go out the palace anytime. And you know Hungshng, I saw the crown prince and my meimei (younger sister) hugging each other before. Hungshng
Lin Chujiu didnt stop her mouth, she continues complaining about the palace and the crown prince. So, the emperor finally got impatient and said: Well, now that Ive seen shes fine. You can take her to the empress.
The emperor cannot stand Lin Chujiu anymore and doesnt want to waste more of his time to a fool. However, just by thinking that a fool like Lin Chujiu is Prince Xiaos wangfei, hes mood turn better.
In just a few days after their marriage, Prince Xiao already offended the Lin Family and he almost falls out. Prince Xiao must also be a fool for offending his wangfeis family. But still, his younger brother prince right now should be very happy and must be feeling grateful for him for giving him such a wangfei.
The emperors guessed is half right. After all, when Xiao Tianyao learns how did Lin Chujiu answer the emperors inquiries. He really felt grateful that the emperor has bestowed him a wife who had a brain.
The emperor didnt realize that he was played by a woman? Benwang couldnt understand why did he send this woman anyway. Xiao Tianyaos mocking face exposed a very shallow smile.
Lin Chujiu is really a smart woman and knows when to back out. But unfortunately, the emperor has given him this wangfei. If she wasnt given by him, then he is certainly willing to use her.
After playing like a fool and fooling the emperor. Lin Chujiu was brought to the empresss Luan Feng Palace (Phoenix Hall). This time, the Empress didnt also embarrass Lin Chujiu and just let her wait for a short while in front of the door. After a few minutes, the Empresss personal maidservant Yun Zhu came to pick up Lin Chujiu.
Before, Lin Chujiu was the empresss daughter-in-law, so she visits the Empress from time to time to greet her. Yun Zhu got also familiar with Lin Chujiu, after all, she had asked her many times to help her say good words to the Empress. Unfortunately, Yun Zhu doesnt like her and even treat her cold.
Aunt Yun Zhu. Lin Chujiu still look the same as before, even her greetings with her is the same too. So, Yun Zhu only respectfully greets Lin Chujiu and treat her as coldly as before: This slave greets Princess Xiao. The Empress has been waiting for a long time now, so please
Yun Zhu bowed down her head and led Lin Chujiu through the door and announces her arrival, which is very different from their treatment before.
Lin Chujiu silently laugh, but Yun Zhu didnt saw her. Then, she and Zhenzhu started walking into the hall.
Inside the Luan Feng Palace, the Crown Prince and the empress were only the people inside. The Empress was wearing her imperial crown while sitting on the top with a smile on her face. However, even if Lin Chujiu was still one hundred meters away from her. She can already feel the pressure that is coming from her.
Crown Prince Xiao Tianrui was standing beside the Empress. However, even though he is standing straight beside her, he only looks like the Empresss servant. So, Lin Chujiu couldnt help but doubt: Is he really the Empresss son? How come theres a big difference?
However, that is not the issue that Lin Chujiu wanted to consider much. When she moved closer, the fragrance inside the hall seems to remind her that there were a lot of women that had previously come.
It seems that those imperial concubines that had greeted her earlier had been sent away immediately. After all, her previous daughter-in-law is not worth showing off.
Lin Chujiu stands in front of the Empress with a gentle and pleasant smile on her face. She also made sure that her smile looks a bit sincere. Lin Chujiu greeted the Empress the same way she greeted the Emperor. Then, she immediately apologizes on behalf of Prince Xiao for being absent. All her words seem like a script that was prepared early because she didnt stop.
Xiao Tianyao doesnt know when will he visit the palace again, so he just sent Lin Chujiu to represent him.
Chujiu, ben gong (this empress) wake up so early in the morning to wait for you. Ben gong was looking forward to seeing you. The empress said while secretly imposing a pressure on Lin Chujiu. But, if a person doesnt know the real relationship between them, that person would think that they have a closed relationship.
However, Lin Chujiu just smile and sit down, but didnt say a word.
After she sits, the maidservant immediately serves her a tea. The Empress who look so happy said: Chujiu, quickly taste your favorite tea. Ben gong asks the kitchen servants to prepare them while waiting for you to come.
Many thanks, niangniang (Empress). Lin Chujiu hold the tea cup and was about to pretend to drink. However, the medical system suddenly sent a warning sound
