Lin Daiyu's meeting with the Empress was much easier and more pleasant than her meeting with her father. Perhaps out of fear of her past life's identity, the Empress smiled warmly and spoke highly of her.
The women in the imperial harem are the most understanding; their subtle, understated flattery is sure to make one feel comfortable and at ease.
These were privileges that only the emperor could enjoy in the past!
Therefore, when father and daughter met after leaving the palace, and Lin Ruhai anxiously asked about it, Lin Daiyu replied in surprise:
"Her Majesty the Empress is a paragon of virtue, kind and gentle to all; I have not been wronged."
"That's good"
The concerned father then changed his tone: "Were any unrelated men, such as princes, involved during this time?"
"Of course not," Lin Daiyu replied directly, her mind sharp and perceptive. She knew her father was worried that the royal family might be interested in marrying her.
The retired emperor and his family had considered marriage, but alas, the threat posed by a certain God of Wealth was too glaring.
In order for their sons or grandsons to marry fairy wives, they themselves were torn to pieces and died with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Hahahaha, they're not like the cowherd's ox, and which emperor would have the virtue of selflessness?
They returned to the Lin family's old residence in Beijing, which had been properly prepared and was ready for immediate move-in.
As soon as I entered, before I could even sit down properly, the butler arrived with a troubled expression:
"My lord, the visiting cards at the gatehouse are already piled up. All the respectable families in the capital have sent their cards, including your classmates, colleagues, fellow townsmen, princes and princesses in the capital, and the young lady's maternal grandparents. What do you think we should do?"
"I don't see them at all," Lin Ruhai said, downing a cup of tea and leaning back comfortably in his chair with his eyes closed.
"Has this... offended too many people?"
"What's there to be afraid of? These people are only here for profit, attracted by the God of Wealth's favor towards my family and Yu'er's status. Even if I ignore them, they won't say anything."
"This servant understands."
Lin Ruhai suddenly sighed:
"When the God of Wealth appears, the whole world is thrown into chaos. Fortunately, the God of Wealth is in seclusion, which helps to cool down people's hearts a bit."
…………
"Jiangzhu, don't worry. Although the Goddess of Wealth is ruthless and lustful, a mere seclusion is absolutely no challenge for her."
The boy lay face down on the table, his round face flattened, and his legs swinging carefree.
The host actually didn't contact him this time, completely "letting go" of the system. He was a little apprehensive, but also unconsciously relaxed.
I want to soar freely!
There were few people inside, except for Zijuan and Xueyan, who were tidying up luggage in the outer room with a few maids.
An unassuming maidservant deftly arranged things, yet listened intently.
Lin Daiyu, sitting by the window, embroidering half-heartedly, snorted upon hearing this:
"You don't need to say these things to me. In the Goddess of Wealth's heart, I'm nothing more than an insignificant person."
After speaking, she carefully placed the embroidery frame aside; the outlines of the flowers and plants on it were already visible.
"The God of Wealth said I was destined to descend to the mortal realm because of a love tribulation. Does that mean my second sister also has some kind of love tribulation?"
Of course not.
Loudly retort: In the host's basic setting, the Crimson Pearl Fairy was the God of Wealth's reserve food, tricked by the Fairy Disenchantment into going to the mortal world to undergo a love tribulation. The other twelve beauties may not necessarily be gods.
Originally, in the novel *Dream of the Red Chamber*, only the Crimson Pearl Fairy and the Divine Stone Attendant had their identities clearly defined, oh, and also Qin Keqing, the younger sister of the Fairy Disenchantment.
The wicked host once said:
"I enjoy seeing someone who was previously ignored suddenly rise to immense status, and I especially appreciate the envious looks in the eyes of others."
Therefore, among the Twelve Beauties, at most two or three are "fairies".
As for who it is specifically, well, that depends on the host's mood.
The setting for welcoming spring is also very interesting. The golden boy casually remarked:
"The police are planning a big heist, so there are not only the Crimson Pearl Fairy, but also other ignorant little fairies, each with their own different tribulations."
"I don't know what kind of calamity your second sister is facing, but in short, the fate that the Fairy Disenchantment has arranged for her in this life is definitely not good."
"The Lin family was plotted against and brought down, and the Jia family is probably in no better shape. Although the Fairy Disenchantment acts recklessly, she is ultimately not the God of Fate, and can only resort to unorthodox methods, using the general trend to influence your destinies."
Having traveled the world so many times, I may seem to have all the emotions and desires of life, but in reality, I view native people as mere NPCs, and I have no fondness for characters like Lin Daiyu or Baochai.
At most, he might spread rumors to retaliate against the host; the mission wouldn't be delayed.
At this moment, he felt a long, steady breath outside and snorted inwardly. He was smart and capable, but Ling Xiao didn't know how to cherish him!
I'm bullying myself every day!
He casually added a comment that seemed to be labeling the Fairy Disenchantment:
"I'm afraid this court has been cursed with many calamities; if it's not careful, its collapse is not impossible."
How could this be?
Lin Daiyu frowned and asked.
The maidservants outside also secretly noted down the news, and were extremely shocked. That so-called Jinghuan had actually made a move against the imperial court.
"Why wouldn't that be the case?" Jin Tong rolled his round eyes and proudly raised his chin to explain:
"Turbulent times bring many separations, while prosperous times bring peace and tranquility. But the decline from prosperity is the most agonizing. These immortals in the mortal realm suffer all kinds of hardships and are tormented by a hundred emotions and desires, making it easier for the Fairy Disenchantment to take action."
"Isn't anyone going to do anything about it?" Lin Daiyu couldn't believe it; she hadn't expected Jinghuan to be so crazy.
She was raised as a boy from a young age, and the historical records vividly depict the horrors of the chaotic times.
Just to achieve their goals, they casually plunge millions of ordinary people into eternal damnation.
Is this the legendary benevolent deity? Lin Daiyu felt like vomiting.
The maid outside trembled violently, her knuckles turning white from the force, her mind filled with only one thought: she had to tell His Majesty this.
