After a few leisurely days, an uninvited guest came to visit.
"Princess, the Fifth Princess requests an audience." Lin Han was petting her cat when a maid's voice came from outside the door.
Lin Han rummaged through his memories to retrieve information about the fifth princess.
The Fifth Princess, whose given name is Shuang, is a fake best friend of Lin Han. She often instigates Lin Han to deal with certain people for her sake and often uses Lin Han's name to bully others.
He would also occasionally receive imperial gifts from her, and although the emperor knew about it, he turned a blind eye out of consideration for Lin Han.
Lin Han was quite certain that Lin Shuang's visit this time was not for anything good.
As expected, when Lin Han let Lin Shuang in, she couldn't wait to call out to Lin, "Royal sister, I heard that Father Emperor received two luminous pearls from the Western Regions. They are so beautiful. Royal sister is so lucky."
"Shh! My dear sister, you'd better be careful what you say. Father may not only bestow the treasure upon me," Lin Han said to Lin Shuang, holding a cup of tea.
Lin Shuang never expected that Lin Han, who was usually so smug, would remind her not to speak carelessly.
She quickly corrected herself, saying, "Your Majesty is right; it was I who spoke too much."
Lin Han looked at Lin Shuang in front of her and was very happy.
In this era without electronic products, all she can do every day is admire flowers, pet cats, and bask in the sun, which is incredibly boring.
But now, a piece of fun has come to him unexpectedly, which makes Lin Han very excited.
"Imperial sister, what brings you here to see me?" Lin Han asked Lin Shuang, blowing on her tea.
"Royal sister, you must stand up for me! That Lin Lan in the West Palace is going too far!" Lin Shuang cried to Lin Han.
Lin Han chuckled upon hearing this, and looking at Lin Shuang, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, she asked, "Oh? How did she bully you?"
Next, Lin Shuang demonstrated to Lin Han the entire process of how she was bullied.
Seeing how vividly Lin Shuang had portrayed the events of the morning, Lin Han couldn't help but admire her; she was incredibly professional, playing two roles all by herself.
Lin Han wanted to give Lin Shuang a round of applause right then and there, but seeing Lin Shuang's pitiful little eyes after her hard-working performance, she decided against it.
“Royal sister, according to what you say, the Eighth Princess is indeed going too far! Let me go and teach her a lesson for you!” Lin Han put on an indignant expression.
Seeing Lin Han so angry, Lin Shuang smiled with satisfaction, while deliberately feigning reluctance.
She said with a troubled expression, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate, Your Majesty? After all, we are sisters."
Upon hearing this, Lin Han immediately feigned disappointment and said listlessly, "Alright then, I think what you say makes sense. I was indeed impulsive, so I'll listen to you."
"Hmm, it's best if my elder sister doesn't go and bully her..."
Lin Shuang was about to try to persuade Lin Han again to make a proper show of it when she suddenly heard Lin Han's words and was completely dumbfounded.
Lin Han almost burst out laughing at Lin Shuang's comical appearance, but she forced herself to suppress her laughter in order to maintain the facade of their superficial friendship.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, Your Highness, I'll go and rest now." Lin Han gave Lin Shuang the order to leave.
Lin Shuang understood Lin Han's meaning, and no matter how unwilling she was, she could only follow Lin Han's lead.
Lin Shuang said with a frustrated expression, "Then I won't bother you any longer, elder sister. Please rest well, elder sister. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Lin Shuang walked out without looking back.
