"Wait! Sister, why are you going to the North City? What happened?"
Lin Shaoyang was completely bewildered when he heard that his sister was going to Beicheng. How could something have happened that he didn't know about in just one day?
"Oh, it hasn't rained in the north for a month. The Emperor has ordered me to go and investigate the people's conditions and deal with the disaster."
Lin Yuxin shrugged and explained calmly.
"Sister, how can we let a girl like you handle such an important matter? Does the Emperor agree? Is there no one else in the court who can help?"
Lin Shaoyang was anxious. His sister had only been back for a little over half a year and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy her life yet. Now, such a big matter was being placed on her shoulders, a girl all alone. What could she possibly do?
"Second brother, there's no other way. The Emperor's grace is boundless. Since the Emperor has already issued the decree, I must go. The imperial decree will arrive tomorrow morning."
Seeing her second brother's anxious expression, Lin Yuxin felt a warmth in her heart and comforted him.
"Alright, my sister has the prince protecting her, she'll be fine, and she's very capable! Don't worry."
Lin Chenglie raised his hand and patted Lin Shaoyang on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.
Lin Yuxin is someone who can even scold the Emperor in front of him, how could anything happen to her? Besides, her sister is indeed very capable. Even a martial artist like him could tell the value of those defense plans just by listening to them.
"Your Highness? Your Highness is going too? That's good. Brother, should we go and give Your Highness some gifts, and ask him to take good care of our little sister? Although Your Highness is usually not interested in women, he should still take care of someone if asked, right?"
When Lin Shaoyang heard that the Regent would also be going, he felt half relieved, but as he spoke, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
I just saw the prince escorting his sister outside, and I had a feeling something was fishy. This sister went with him, but when she comes back, will he still see his lovely sister?
Lin Chenglie looked at his foolish second brother and was speechless. He wanted the prince's help? His sister was practically being lured away by him! Wasn't he just handing his sister over to someone else?
"Second brother, don't worry. Since the Emperor sent me to go with the Prince, the Prince will never let anything happen to me. Besides, don't I still have the Imperial Sword? If anyone messes with me, I'll just chop them down."
Lin Yuxin quickly spoke up, shaking the box she had been wrapping for so long.
"This...this contains an imperial sword?"
Lin Shaoyang was stammering! He hadn't kowtowed in so long; wouldn't that be disrespectful to the Emperor?
"Yes! This is the imperial sword bestowed by the Emperor. The Emperor said that anyone who blocks my way while I am controlling the disaster can be executed first and reported later."
Lin Yuxin raised her chin, looking smug, which amused her two older brothers.
"Alright! Let's go, let's go to Mother first. Although the Prince has already sent someone to inform you, Mother is still worried about you."
Lin Shaoyang stopped talking after hearing what they said, but he also thought about preparing more money for his sister tomorrow, just in case she needed it on the road.
"Um!"
Lin Yuxin nodded, picked up the box, and ran towards her mother's yard.
"Mother!"
Lin Yuxin's voice arrived before she did.
"You little rascal, you're back. Are you hungry? We're just waiting for you to have a meal together."
When Zhao Hanyue heard Lin Yuxin's voice, she finally felt relieved. When she saw Lin Yuxin walking in happily, she didn't ask about her affairs in the palace, but instead asked if she was hungry!
The Lin brothers, Cheng Lie and Cheng Lie, followed them in.
"I'm starving! I haven't eaten all day. I only had a little snack at the Prince's place, and now I'm starving."
Lin Yuxin wrapped one arm around Zhao Hanya's arm and said coquettishly.
"Let's go, Mother has instructed the servants to prepare your favorite dishes."
Zhao Hanyue smiled and pulled Lin Yuxin toward the side hall.
"Wait! Mother, I'll put this back and come back later."
Lin Yuxin pointed to the box in her arms. This thing can't be thrown away casually; it has to be treasured!
"This is an imperial sword? You child, you can't just walk around with this thing like that! Put it away right now!"
Zhao Hanyue looked at the box that Lin Yuxin had been holding and realized that her daughter had been waving it around all the way, a gift from the Emperor! This was a great disrespect to the Emperor's grace!
Zhao Hanyue felt a wave of fear wash over her.
When her eldest son returned, he had already told her about the situation in the palace. She also knew that the Emperor had bestowed upon his daughter the title of Princess Pingning and had entrusted such an important matter to Lin Yuxin, a young girl. She was worried.
But now that the matter is settled, she can only support her daughter's decision.
"Hehe! I'm off then!"
Lin Yuxin feigned ignorance and laughed, then ran off with the box in her arms.
"How can this child be so reckless! How will she ever get married?"
Zhao Hanyue looked at Lin Yuxin and was very worried.
Lin Chenglie watched for a long time, and upon hearing his mother's words, he sighed inwardly.
Mother, you don't need to worry about that. Your daughter is about to be taken advantage of by a pig!
"Mother, don't worry, my sister will definitely find a good match!"
Lin Chenglie offered words of comfort.
“That’s right, Mother. My sister will definitely find a good one in the future. If she doesn’t, we will support her for the rest of her life.”
Lin Shaoyang also made a promise.
"Can't you just hope your sister gets better? In two months, Yuxin will be of marriageable age. If this were before, Yuxin was a girl who grew up in the countryside, and probably not many families would have wanted her."
“Things are different now. Although Xin Xin is a woman, the Emperor values her highly and has entrusted her with important responsibilities. So she’s a hot commodity. The number of people seeking her hand in marriage will probably break down our door!”
Zhao Hanyue led her two sons as they walked and laughed.
Now that the children are all grown up, it's time to think about their marriages. There's some progress on the eldest son's matter, and she plans to find an excuse next month to invite Mrs. Fu to Bailing Temple to make a wish and meet her.
I hope Madam Fu will take a liking to her, Lie'er!
"Mother, my younger sister is leaving for the northern city in three days, and I'm afraid she won't be able to return in time for her coming-of-age ceremony!"
Lin Chenglie told his mother the news so that she could be mentally prepared.
"Three days later, why the rush!"
Zhao Hanyue was taken aback when she heard this.
"Mother, this is of utmost importance, we cannot delay!"
Lin Chenglie said in a low voice.
Zhao Hanyue paused for a moment, then nodded.
"My mother knows. I'll pack some of the things Xin Xin needs to take with her tomorrow."
As her children grow up and need to soar, she, as a mother, only needs to learn to let go.
Lin Yuxin returned to the courtyard, put the box away, and was startled by the sudden cold.
"Who are you?"
"Miss Lin, I am Leng Han, the prince's bodyguard. This is what the prince asked me to give you."
A cold, indifferent reply.
Lin Yuxin's gaze fell on his hand, and she realized it was the gift from the Empress. She felt embarrassed; she had completely forgotten about it!
She quickly took the box and thanked him.
"I'll trouble Leng Han to make this trip!"
"This is what I should do, so I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he disappeared, leaving Lin Yuxin envious. She wished she had such good skills. It seems that Li Xiaochen has many capable people around him!
