I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

No matter how angry Lin was at not being able to see the Eighth Princess, she didn't dare show it on her face.

It was seen that Lin was very polite to the senior palace maid beside the Eighth Princess. She also smiled motherly and turned around and walked out of the Eighth Princess's Liuxia Palace.

He doesn't seem angry at all.

But, the moment he stepped out of the palace door, the smile instantly disappeared!

It was not until she stepped into Empress Gao's Fengzao Palace that Lin regained her gentle smile. Just at this moment, a palace maid came out and reported: "The Empress has woken up."

Upon hearing this, Lin did not try to avoid suspicion and immediately walked into Empress Gao's bedroom with a smile. She diligently took Empress Gao's phoenix robe from the screen and personally helped her to dress.

Empress Gao did not refuse and allowed her sister-in-law to serve her.

While getting dressed, he asked with a smile, "Why did sister-in-law come to the palace today? Is there something wrong?"

Lin: ...

Well, there is indeed something going on. I want the Eighth Princess to marry Gao Yan. But I can't speak rashly.

So, Lin smiled and said in a roundabout way: "It is indeed something, and it is a happy event."

"Oh? Sister-in-law, tell me about it." Empress Gao became very interested when she heard that there was a happy event in her natal family.

Lin smiled and said:

"This morning, our mother held a flower-viewing banquet at the manor in Ziwei Mountain. When playing the game of passing the flower with the drum, our Yan'er improvised a poem."

"That poem is really brilliant! The last time's third place winner commented on it, saying it could rival those of famous poets."

Hearing this, Empress Gao laughed and said, "Is this really true?"

As far as Empress Gao knew, her nephew Gao Yan had been in a slump for a long time, and spent his days in the Ministry of Revenue with a stern face.

It's rare that one can improvise a masterpiece.

At this time, Lin walked around to Empress Gao and tied her skirt while smiling proudly:

"Of course it's true, Queen, just wait and see. In a few days, our Yan'er's poems will be all the rage in the capital, and boys and girls in every household will be vying to recite them."

There is indeed such a trend in the capital city that a good poem can create a wave in a short period of time.

Lin had even begun to imagine excitedly in his mind - Gao Yan regaining his glory and returning to the spotlight once again!

After the fantasy, Lin added:

"Empress, our Yan'er not only wrote a superb poem today, but his mental state has also been restored to what it was before, and he is full of vigor and vitality!"

"No one present didn't praise it!"

At this time, Empress Gao had already put on her robes, tied her hair into a bun and walked out of the bedroom. Then she saw Gao Yan in a royal blue brocade robe.

Just as the eldest sister-in-law said, Gao Yan held his head high, was in high spirits, and exuded confidence.

I seemed to have returned to a few years ago.

Her nephew from her mother's side had cheered up again, and as an aunt, Empress Gao was of course delighted, so she greeted Gao Yan very warmly, and the two of them exchanged many heartfelt words.

The gist of Empress Gao's words was to encourage Gao Yan to put aside distracting thoughts and strive to be among the top three in the next spring examination.

Gao Yan quickly smiled and nodded.

It had been a long time since he saw his aunt, the Queen, holding his hand and giving him motherly instructions.

This long-lost care made him more confident and cheerful, and his eyes and eyebrows unconsciously exuded a dazzling temperament like the sun.

When Empress Gao saw this, she smiled even more satisfied.

Lin, who was standing nearby, saw the interaction between the aunt and niece. She saw something called "appreciation and satisfaction" in Empress Gao's eyes.

So, Lin immediately felt that the opportunity had come!

Originally, she wanted to wait until the impromptu masterpiece became widely circulated before telling the Queen about the Eighth Princess' marriage. But she was afraid that if she wasn't careful... her mother-in-law would secretly marry Shen Yan.

After much thought, I decided to cut the Gordian knot and quickly decide on the eighth princess.

Therefore, soon, Lin found an excuse to send Gao Yan out of the palace, and stayed beside Empress Gao to lobby:

"Empress, our Gao Yan is old now, it's time for him to marry a wife."

When Empress Gao heard this, she knew why her sister-in-law came to the palace today, and she did not refuse. She nodded and smiled:

"Gao Yan is already 23 years old, and he is indeed old enough to marry a wife. Sister-in-law, which girl do you like? Do you want me to help you to persuade her?"

Lin took the opportunity to smile and said, "I have indeed fallen for a perfect girl. Not only is she smart and alert, she is also very pretty. She and Gao Yan grew up together and understand each other's personalities. They will definitely live a happy life together after they get married."

Growing up together as childhood sweethearts?

When Empress Gao heard the words "childhood sweethearts", she understood that the girl her sister-in-law liked must be from a noble family!

It’s good to have a good family background. The more powerful her family is in marriage, the stronger the backing for her and the prince will be!

If he were like Gao Ni, it would be best if he could marry someone with a strong background like Fu Yuzheng!

So, Empress Gao asked cheerfully, "I wonder which girl my eldest sister-in-law has taken a fancy to? So that I can have an idea and choose the right time... to grant her the marriage."

Oh, the words "granted marriage" came out, and Lin smiled even more: "Empress, that girl is not an outsider, she is Gao Yan's cousin."

First cousin?

Empress Gao thought of her little sister. In recent years, her family followed her brother-in-law, who was an official in a remote area, to the Jianghuai region. They lived a comfortable life, but...

The husband's family is of low status, so it is of little help to the prince.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Lin say again: "My cousin is none other than the Queen's... Eighth Princess. Oh, I haven't seen her for a while. Our Eighth Princess is getting more and more beautiful..."

Before she finished her words, Empress Gao's face suddenly turned cold!

what?

The eighth princess under her knees?

Is someone like Gao Yan worthy of her?

I'm already twenty-three and I haven't accomplished anything!

What a joke!

Even if she had eight or ten daughters, it would not be Gao Yan's turn!

What's more, she only has one precious daughter, the Eighth Princess!

Therefore, Empress Gao did not give any face and rejected him directly, saying, "Sister-in-law, the Eighth Princess is not suitable. You should find another good girl for Gao Yan."

When she said this, Queen Gao's expression and tone turned cold.

Lin was anxious and quickly spoke well of Gao Yan, saying, "Gao Yan's poem this time is excellent. It will soon be popular throughout the capital. He will have a bright future. Wait until the next spring exam to get the top prize again..."

Oh, Empress Gao, who has been fighting in the palace all her life, is now using an illusory future... to paint a rosy picture for her?

Queen Gao interrupted coldly and said sharply:

"The eighth princess' marriage cannot be hasty. She must marry a prince consort of high status."

"For example, someone like Zhenbian Wang Mu Shaoheng, who has strong power and can support the prince of this palace to ascend the throne smoothly!"

Like Gao Yan...

Haha, he even needs her and the prince to help alleviate poverty, but Empress Gao doesn't even look at them!

Lin: ...

Do you really need to be so blatantly contemptuous?

This is really harsh to hear!

Lin's face turned pale!

So angry!

She could dislike her son, but when the words of dislike came out so blatantly from Empress Gao's mouth, Lin couldn't stand it!

She was so angry that she cursed in her heart: "Bah, you despise the poor and love the rich, flatter the powerful and look down on the weak! You even belittle your own nephew, what a piece of shit!"
