The main reason is that Lin Yuxin rarely dresses up. She can go out in a plain-colored dress and with a simple hairstyle. Xiaodie wants to dress her up, but she finds it troublesome.
With so much jewelry on her head, it was incredibly heavy, but she still loved collecting gold and silver jewelry.
"Stop praising me, let's go!"
Lin Yuxin gave her a reproachful look and said.
When Lin Yuxin walked to the front hall, she saw Zhao Hanyya and Lin Chenglie already waiting there.
"Don't speak carelessly when you enter the palace, understand? And don't you dare think of any treasonous thoughts, do you hear me?"
When Zhao Hanyue saw Lin Yuxin come out, she quickly took Lin Yuxin's hand and gave her some words of advice with concern.
The last state banquet really terrified her. This girl was thinking some disrespectful things in her mind. If she accidentally said them out loud and offended the emperor, the entire Zhao family would be finished in his anger!
"Okay! Don't worry!"
Although Lin Yuxin didn't know why her mother told her not to think about it, she wasn't afraid. As long as she didn't say it aloud, she could curse in her heart as much as she wanted!
Zhao Hanyue could tell from her expression that the girl didn't take it to heart.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on my sister when I send her to the palace."
Lin Chenglie comforted him from the side.
He knew his sister was brave, and he just hoped she wouldn't cause any more trouble to scare him today.
Lin Yuxin rode in a carriage, escorted by Lin Chenglie, heading towards the palace under Zhao Hanyue's worried gaze.
Having visited the palace once before, Lin Yuxin wasn't as curious this time.
She and Lin Chenglie were led to the entrance of the Imperial Study and waited there. There were no seats, so they stood there for almost half an hour.
[What's wrong with this emperor! He summoned her so early and just left her hanging? Hasn't the morning court session finished yet? My god, my legs are about to break! The palace really is a monster!]
Lin Yuxin stood there with a pained expression, starting to switch legs to make things a little easier.
Lin Chenglie, standing to the side, watched his sister's trembling body speechlessly. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had fleas on her body, twisting and turning like that, and she was starting to mutter nonsense again.
"Little sister, just bear with it a little longer!"
Lin Chenglie couldn't help but whisper a reminder, hoping she could restrain herself a bit.
"oh!"
Lin Yuxin switched to standing on one leg, looking completely dejected!
Another fifteen minutes passed, and after Lin Yuxin had complained about the emperor countless times, the emperor finally returned!
[Waaaaah! Your Majesty, I've been waiting for you for so long! You've finally arrived! If you hadn't come soon, I would have died! Receiving a reward is a matter of life and death!]
Lin Yuxin looked at the Emperor, who was walking towards the Imperial Study, with a face full of surprise and joy, as if she were looking at her second parents!
However, Li Xiaochen and five high-ranking officials in official robes followed behind him.
Those who are summoned to the imperial study by the emperor usually hold high-ranking official positions and are key ministers of the Xia Kingdom.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Chenglie quickly bowed respectfully.
When Lin Yuxin saw the Emperor approaching, she hurriedly and stiffly gave a curtsy. It's not her fault; she had been waiting for so long that her legs were already stiff, and it was good enough that she could even perform the curtsy!
"Hmph! Rise! Come in with me!"
Emperor Cheng Dexun glanced at Lin Yuxin and snorted coldly, "Don't think I didn't hear you cursing me in your heart, you brat!"
He then turned and walked toward the Imperial Study.
Li Xiaochen followed the Emperor and glanced at Lin Yuxin, who was bowing her head and feigning respect. A smile flashed in his eyes; this girl was putting on quite a show.
Then he followed the emperor inside.
Lin Yuxin heard the Emperor's hum and looked up in confusion at his back.
Was the Emperor angry just now?! Did she do something to displease him? Or did she encounter some difficulties at the morning court? Or perhaps her uncle came to visit?
Lin Yuxin pouted, but didn't think much of it. She obediently got up and followed the ministers inside.
The Emperor listened to the maid's complaints behind him and was speechless. Where did I get this uncle?
Lin Yuxin stood obediently to the side with her elder brother, waiting for the Emperor to speak.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Emperor did not call out to Lin Yuxin for quite a while.
"News from the north says it hasn't rained for a month. What do you think about this?"
The emperor sat at his desk and asked the five ministers standing opposite him in a deep voice.
These five were all favorites of the Emperor: Prime Minister Hou Mingyuan, Grand Tutor Ji Qiulin, and three ministers: Minister of Works Shi Peng, Minister of Revenue Geng Zhiwei, and Minister of Personnel Qi Wenxian.
Of the six ministers, three have come. I wonder what the Emperor wants to discuss with them? Is it inappropriate for her to be here?
"Your Majesty, perhaps we should wait a little longer? If it doesn't rain for a month, the problem might not be too serious yet!"
Prime Minister Hou Mingyuan bowed and spoke first to comfort the emperor.
"Not serious? It's not serious now, but what if it doesn't rain for two or three months? How will the crops survive? How will the people survive?"
Grand Tutor Ji Qiulin frowned as he looked at Hou Mingyuan and questioned him.
It hasn't rained for a month, isn't this serious?
"In my opinion, why don't we send someone to find out what's going on before making a decision?"
Geng Zhiwei, the Minister of Revenue, offered a tactful suggestion.
"This is a good idea. After all, it's only been a month since it rained, so serious problems haven't emerged yet. Let's find out the situation first before making a decision."
The Minister of Works, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement with the suggestion.
Li Xiaochen remained silent throughout, acting as if he were invisible. The Emperor was furious at the sight of these slacking ministers, and instead of offering any advice, he uttered some nonsense.
