After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

"Ruo Zhan? Ruo Zhan?"

Lin Ruozhen suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that his mother was looking at him with concern, and scolded him, "You are about to meet someone, why are you still absent-minded?

Lin Ruozhen was startled and quickly forced himself to cheer up: "Mother..."

Madam Lin stroked her hair lovingly and said softly, "When we were chatting just now, the princess hinted that Prince Rui attaches great importance to this marriage and is very satisfied with our family. Later, you have to behave well, understand?"

But at this moment, Lin Ruozhen was in a state of confusion: "Mom, but... I..."

Madam Lin smiled and said, "What do you mean by you and me?" She took her daughter's hand and said slowly, "Although the second son of Chu is a concubine's son, he is very much loved by the prince and princess, and his biological mother also has some respect in the palace. The princess had given her special grace and allowed her to come with her today, but unfortunately she has been unwell recently and can't stand the carriage, so she just left everything to the princess. You must restrain your crazy girl behavior on weekdays."

Lin Ruozhan twisted his hands, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.

My mother keeps saying that her happiness for the rest of her life depends on today, but Chu Yue and I each have our own thoughts, so how can we possibly live together?

She twisted her handkerchief unconsciously and asked Songluo who was waiting beside her: "Where is Miss Shen? Why haven't we seen her yet?"

Songluo said hurriedly, "To answer the young lady's question, Guiyun went to help Miss Shen change her clothes. They have been gone for a while and I think they will be back soon."

Lin Ruozhen nodded: "Okay," she immediately said to her mother coquettishly, "Mom, I want to wait for Ning'er to come back before going in. Can you wait with me?"

Madam Lin said helplessly: "Miss Shen is so much younger than you, why are you relying on a little girl to give you courage? Fortunately, there are only women in the family. If your future son-in-law is also here, would you let him accompany you to see him?"

Lin Ruozhen frowned and said, "Mom, how come he is the future son-in-law? This is not the first time I've looked at him, and there's not even a scratch on his face yet?"

Madam Lin laughed and said, "You are so tall, but you still talk like a child! Could it be that we have worked so hard for so long just to play house with you two? Now that the two families have met, who would easily regret the engagement unless there is something serious? Do you want to save your father's reputation, and do you want to save the face of the palace?"

Lin Ruozhen's hair stood on end after hearing these words. She couldn't help but cover her ears: "Mom, stop talking..."

Mrs. Lin couldn't help laughing: "You, you usually look braver than the sky, but when you really encounter something, you are so scared."

At this time, Gui Yun came back with Ning Er. When Lin Ruo Zhan saw her, he felt like he had found his backbone. He rushed over and stuck to Ning Er: "Good sister, please come in with me!"

Ning'er was weighing it in her mind. At this time, Chu Zheng and Chu Yue were still outside, and there were only women from the Shen family and the Rui Wang Mansion in the meditation hall, so there was no need to worry too much.

She smiled and pulled down Lin Ruozhen's hand, bowed to Madam Lin and said, "I would like to ask Madam, is this appropriate?"

Mrs. Lin looked at Ning'er carefully, and she became more and more frightened. After all, she was the wife of an official from a noble family and had seen a lot of the world. It was not difficult to see that although this little Miss Shen dressed quite low-key, she wore almost nothing ordinary.

She had a white jade hairpin with a peacock holding a pearl, as smooth as mutton fat and as bright as a new lychee, inserted diagonally in her hair. Just looking at its color, it was a rare treasure, not to mention the exquisite carving, with every detail visible. This one thing alone was worth the entire outfit of an ordinary noblewoman.

She wondered inwardly, could it be that the Shen family was so wealthy that even a cousin could be so extravagant.

Mrs. Lin naturally didn't know that ever since Ning'er went to Qingyuan Garden, her clothing and food supplies had been personally reviewed by Chu Huan, almost the same as those provided by the emperor.

This small jade hairpin was made of jade materials that Chu Huan personally selected from the warehouse, drew the pattern himself, and had it made by a master craftsman with the most superb skills.

She smiled and said, "Of course it's okay." She then reminded her daughter, "Miss Shen is young, so you should take care of her. Your grandmother and I are here, so you don't have to be nervous. Just answer whatever you ask."

At this time, the host had finished preaching, and the female relatives had moved to an extremely exquisite inner room. On the table near the window, there was an incense burner with a gold-inlaid lotus. The sound of chimes was lingering, and the smell of sandalwood was faint. It was a quiet place on earth.

Sitting at the top was a white-faced woman in luxurious clothes, who looked to be over 40 years old. She wore a pair of golden phoenix hairpins inlaid with colorful gems, with double phoenixes holding flowers to cover her temples. She was wearing a scarlet gown, adorned with pearls that sparkled and shone brightly. She had a smile on her face, yet she was friendly.

When he saw Madam Lin bringing in a pair of beautiful girls, he smiled and praised, "What a beautiful pair of fairies."

She shifted her gaze to Lin Ruozhen's face and nodded slightly, "I guess this is Miss Lin."

Lin Ruozhen bowed and said, "My little girl greets the princess."

Princess Rui smiled slightly and said, "Hurry up, we are all family, there is no need to be so reserved."

Ning'er followed Lin Ruozhan and bowed, but her heart was calm.

Ever since she had met the eldest princess several times and discovered that Ling Wei, with whom she was so close, was actually the current emperor, she could hardly feel nervous no matter what high-ranking princes, nobles, or royal descendants she met.

Ning'er said self-deprecatingly that maybe one day, when she woke up, she would inexplicably become a prince.

Lin Ruozhen thanked the princess and sat down carefully. Then she heard her grandmother say to the princess with a smile: "This child has always been shy and rarely goes out. I'm sorry to make you laugh, princess."

Princess Rui smiled softly and said, "Girls naturally regard chastity and tranquility as beauty. I think your temperament is very good."

Ning'er couldn't help but feel worried for her after hearing this. Sister Lin's personality was not at all "shy and quiet", and the princess' words might have a subtle intention of warning her.

Sure enough, she saw from the corner of her eye that Madam Lin's face turned slightly pale, but it returned to normal in an instant. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This child has been loved by his father since he was young, but he has developed a rough and stupid character. Although he has many faults, there is one good thing, which is that he is extremely filial and sincere."

Sitting to the right of Princess Rui was a beautiful woman in her thirties. She chuckled when she heard this: "In a family like ours, we can have any clever people. The most precious thing is someone who is sincere and grateful. Sister, don't you agree?"

Princess Rui looked at her and her smile became more genuine. She shook her head and said, "My little sister has been spoiled since she was a child. She speaks without restraint. Madam Lin, please don't mind."

Madam Lin hurriedly said that it was okay, but the beautiful woman said in a delicate voice: "Sister, you should give me some face in front of the girls."

Her eyes moved, but she gradually saw Ning'er's face from Lin Ruozhen, and praised: "One is as beautiful as peaches and plums, and the other is as bright as the moon. Madam Lin is really blessed."
