What does Xiao Tianyao mean? No one knows or more likely, no one dares to ask. But, one thing was certain, that is… …
Xiao Wangfei was not just a gift from the emperor, her title was not just an empty name. She has Xiao Wangye’s support, as the real hostess of Xiao Wangfu.
Seeing this scene, many people felt: Lin Xiang’s daughter is really great.
People knew very clearly why was Lin Chujiu given to Xiao Tianyao. Lin Chujiu was given by the emperor to Xiao Tianyao to humiliate and suppress him. They also thought that Lin Chujiu would not live for more than three months. However, she did not only completely claimed the title Xiao Wangfei, but also gain Xiao Wangye’s trust and attention.
If people will say that Lin Chujiu has not talents, they will not believe it.
When all the ranking officials stood up to greet Xiao Tianyao, Prime Minister You of the right faction, from time to time, moved his eyes to look at Prime Minister Lin with deep meaning.
When Prime Minister Lin Xiang saw that Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu came together holding hands, he knew right away that things will be bad for him. And seeing Right Prime Minister You not concealing the look in his eyes, Lin Xiang couldn’t wait to strangle Lin Chujiu to death.
He knew that Lin Chujiu hated to be married off in Xiao Wangfu, but he didn’t take her feelings seriously. Instead, he let her be given off by the emperor and be the emperor’s eyes. Because of this, Xiao Wangye didn’t trust her, nor treat her like a real Xiao Wangfu’s main wife.
However, even under such circumstances, Lin Chujiu didn’t get the support of her family, which gave her a chance to turn over the storm. She successfully made Xiao Wangye not care about her origin, giving her absolute trust and glory instead.
A woman who can walk side by side with Xiao Wang was only one person, and that was Lin Chujiu alone. So if people will say that Xiao Tianyao doesn’t put great importance to her, no one will believe it.
Looking at how elegant and graceful Lin Chujiu walked, Lin Xiang’s eyes flashed with a trace of regret.
He really didn’t know that Lin Chujiu had such great talent. If he had known, when she said that she doesn’t want to get married in Xiao Wangfu, he will not agree to the Empress’s request. He will not marry off Lin Chujiu to Xiao Tianyao.
However, no matter what he thinks right now, Lin Xiang has to greet Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao. Lin Furen and Lin Wanting, who also came with him, were no exception.
Because this banquet was to welcome the Southern Princess and Western Prince, the emperor allowed the young and unmarried sons and daughters of the officials enter the palace. On the bright side, it was made for the young ones to talk to each other, but in fact, it was to choose their life partner.
Lin Xiang knew that Xiao Tianyao will come to the palace. So, he doesn’t really want to bring Lin Wanting with him. In fear of losing a face. However, on the second thought, if he will not bring Lin Wanting, he will be questioned.
Good thing, Lin Wanting was well-behaved along the way and didn’t do anything impolite this time… …
Lin Chujiu’s appearance brings shocked to all the people inside the imperial hall. Among these people, were both Lin Furen and Lin Wanting. Lin Furen was very shocked by the changes in Lin Chujiu. She couldn’t understand why all her effort to raise her as a good for nothing eldest daughter became a waste?
Lin Furen and Lin Xiang regretted a lot. But, what Lin Furen regretted the most was, why she was too kind? She should have killed Lin Chujiu from the very beginning. Too bad, regret will not make things good for them right now.
As for Lin Wanting?
Lin Chujiu’s appearance right now was completely unacceptable for her. In the fourteen years of her life, Lin Chujiu has always been a tool to excel herself. But now, Lin Chujiu has no trace of ugliness, roughness, and arrogance.
Is this radiating woman in front of her, who came with Xiao Wangye, was really her sister Lin Chujiu?
“This is impossible.” Lin Wanting, who has a sluggish look in her face, her eyes were fixed on Lin Chujiu’s body. She couldn’t even recover from shock for a long time.
Lin Chujiu felt something, so she slightly moved her head and faintly took a glance, but didn’t say anything.
Along the way, everyone’s attention was focused on Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao. Lin Chujiu, who made such a sudden move, immediately noticed by people.
Some of these people also looked towards her line of sight and saw Lin Wanting, revealing a very fierce look in her face, as if she wanted to eat people alive.
Some of these people laughed inside their mind: Lin Xiang eat a big loss this time. He did not only regarded a fish eye as a pearl but also regarded a pearl as a fish eye.
For such a useless daughter, he gives up the smart and capable daughter. This is simply a big loss.
When a few lines of sight fell in their way, Lin Xiang and Lin Furen were stupefied. Looking back, they saw Lin Wanting’s rude appearance. Lin Furen hurriedly pinched Lin Wanting’s hand, which pulled her back to her senses.
Although Lin Wanting was not perfect, after many years of training under Lin Furen, she was able to put immediately a soft and weak appearance, as if she was truly is.
It’s just a pity, the people who were present this time were fine noble sons and daughters, the heirs of their family, so it was not easy for Lin Wanting to fool their eyes.
Lin Chujiu didn’t put Lin Wanting in her eyes. She and Xiao Tianyao just went to their respective place. But, they haven’t had a chance to sit down when the eunuch loudly announced: “His majesty the emperor and empress arrive, the crown prince arrives, Imperial Concubine Zhou arrive… …”
The excellencies of the banquet finally arrived.
The group of officials, who just sat down, once again got up to greet the emperor. Lin Chujiu knew that they also had to stand firm, but who would have thought Xiao Tianyao will act like he didn’t hear anything and will pull her down to sit.
Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao and stared at him with a question: Wangye, why are you so arrogant?
However, Xiao Tianyao only curved his lips into a smile and gently patted her head.
The contradiction between him and the emperor was irreconcilable. So, whether he is respectful or not, the emperor will still clean him up. If so, why should he grieve himself? Anyway, the emperor cannot kill him.
Xiao Tianyao admitted that this idea came to his mind because of Lin Chujiu. Didn’t Lin Chujiu also go against him? So, why was she asking his attitude?
Xiao Tianyao had done it, so Lin Chujiu also didn’t pay any care. Xiao Tianyao was here and this was his business.
The Emperor walked in front, while the Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou were one step behind the left and right side of the emperor. The Crown Prince was walking together with the Eastern Prince and Southern Princess.
Everyone got up and the long salutation has played. Only Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu stayed sitting, which particularly eye-catching.
The smile on the emperor’s face got stiff when he saw the two. However, for such trivial matter, he knew that it’s not worth reprimanding Xiao Tianyao this time.
In the end, the emperor only acted like he didn’t see Xiao Tianyao. He just walked passed by him. The Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou naturally didn’t open their mouth. They remained smiling as if Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu didn’t exist.
When the princes and the princess walked over, the officials also greeted them and then sat down. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu acted the same, so the people didn’t find anything special. They thought this awkward greeting will just passed by, but suddenly, the Southern Princess stopped in front of Lin Chujiu and arrogantly asked: “You are Xiao Wangfei?”
