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

Although she was beautiful, her eyes made Ning Er feel uncomfortable. But today she was accompanying a guest, and the woman was the sister of Princess Rui, so she lowered her eyes slightly and ignored it.

Mrs. Lin only smiled and said vaguely: "Let Mrs. Zhou know that I don't have such a blessing. This is Miss Shen, who is from the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion."

Xinyuan Marquis Mansion?

Madam Zhou raised her eyebrows. Everyone knew that a huge scandal had broken out in Xinyuan Marquis's residence in the past few days. At this moment, he could still go out and socialize as if nothing had happened...

Now that the eldest daughter of the Shen family has passed away, I'm afraid this little girl is the daughter of the second son of the Shen family.

Don't underestimate Shen Chongyao because he is a concubine's son in a marquis's family. His rapid rise to prominence is rare in the world. It is said that he is very much favored by the emperor and is a man of great fortune.

Even her husband had specifically reminded her that if she met his female relatives in foreign social circles, she should not look down on them just because of their low status.

She smiled and said, "It turned out to be Miss Shen. She is indeed a person of outstanding character, different from ordinary people."

Ning Er smiled and bowed, returning the greeting: "Hello, Madam Zhou."

Princess Rui looked at her sister in surprise, wondering why she suddenly paid attention to a little girl who had not grown up.

But in front of the Lin family, he didn't say anything, and put his mind back on the business. He just asked Lin Ruozhen gently: "How old are you now?"

Lin Ruozhen said softly: "In reply to the princess, I am seventeen now, and will be eighteen by the end of the year."

Princess Rui nodded: "It's really a good age to be as beautiful as a flower. Looking at these girls, I really feel old."

Madam Lin hurriedly said, "The princess is in her prime, and is extremely beautiful. How can she be compared to these little girls?"

Princess Rui smiled and said, "Madam, you don't have to tell me such coaxing words. Zheng'er just got married last year. I'm afraid that in two years, I will be old enough to hold my grandchildren."

Madam Lin smiled and said, "Everyone in the capital knows that the prince is wise, brave, and graceful. Now that he has a family, I think the day of his success is just around the corner."

When Princess Rui mentioned Chu Zheng, she smiled so much that fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes. This son was both the eldest son of the palace and the legitimate son.

Although he usually keeps a low profile due to the past events in the Rui Palace, his literary and military talents are first-class.

She smiled and said, "Other things are fine, but the most rare thing about that child is his filial piety and brotherly love." She glanced at Lin Ruozhen and said, "Today, his brother's important event, without waiting for the prince to ask, he took the initiative to ask to accompany him."

"Speaking of which, Yue'er is a rare good kid."

After these words were spoken, the ladies of the Lin family perked up, knowing that the key point had come.

Princess Rui smiled and said, "Yue'er has been raised by the prince and me since he was young. In my opinion, he is no different from Zheng'er. He has been smart since he was young, gentle and modest, and very beautiful. To be honest, Madam, several adults have come to me and wanted to marry our two families, but they were all rejected by our prince. He has single-mindedly decided to marry Lord Lin's daughter."

This was a bit too straightforward, so Madam Lin could only stand up and thank her: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty and Princess, for your kindness. The Lin family is a humble family, and we are really overwhelmed."

Madam Zhou chimed in, "Madam, please sit down quickly. We are all family, why should we be so restrained?"

Princess Rui also sent her maid to help Madam Lin sit down. She said cheerfully, "Today, our two families are meeting. We both know what's going on. I won't bother with the empty formalities and will just speak my mind."

Lin Ruozhan's eyelashes trembled slightly. No matter how brave she was and no matter how much she didn't want to marry Chu Yue, she could not help but feel nervous in front of such an occasion that concerned her life.

Princess Rui said slowly, "Zheng'er and Yue'er are brothers who are friendly and respectful to each other, so naturally their wives should be more harmonious with each other. Zheng'er's father had the nerve to ask the princess to be his guarantor before he could marry the second daughter of Minister Shi. Although she is the eldest sister-in-law, she is not even sixteen years old if you look at her age."

Mrs. Lin heard her hidden meaning very clearly. If this marriage was successful, in terms of age, Miss Shi would be the elder sister-in-law, and Ruo Zhan would be the younger sister-in-law; in terms of legitimate and illegitimate children, Chu Zheng would be the legitimate brother, and Chu Yue would be the illegitimate brother...

However, Lin Ruochan was two years older than Miss Shi, and Princess Rui had obviously inquired about Chan'er beforehand and knew that she was a strong-willed person, not a weak and dull person. She was worried that after Chan'er got married, she would be wronged as her own daughter-in-law.

Madam Lin's eyes were slightly cold. It seemed that Princess Rui was not very satisfied with this marriage, but she just couldn't get over the prince's insistence... But after a woman marries, whether she lives well depends half on the man and half on the mother-in-law. How could she let her daughter marry him with confidence when she put on such an attitude?

She smiled and said, "Although the Lin family is not a high-ranking family, they are also a family that has a long tradition of poetry and literature. They understand that respect for elders is the foundation of human relations. There can be no mistakes in that."

Both sides are smart people, so they naturally understand each other and fall out at the first sign of conflict.

Princess Rui nodded slightly, and calmly changed the subject. She looked at Ning'er with a smile and said, "I wanted to ask you just now, but I forgot about it when I was interrupted. I wonder how old Miss Shen is now?"

Ning Er didn't expect the topic to turn to herself so abruptly. She was stunned, but still replied: "My Lady Princess, I am thirteen this year."

Princess Rui's eyes were warm: "She looks thinner than the average thirteen-year-old girl."

Ning Er had no choice but to explain: "I was weak when I was young, and I took medicine for a few years, which delayed my recovery. Now I am gradually getting better."

Princess Rui was about to say something when she heard this, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a double crabapple flower pendant tied around Ning'er's waist.

For some reason, her expression suddenly changed, and she asked hurriedly, "Where did Miss Shen get this jade pendant from?"

Ning'er was confused by her question and could not help but look down at the jade pendant on her waist.

She was in a hurry to go out this morning, and casually chose a crabapple-shaped jade pendant from the jade box sent by Chu Huan, just to match the crabapple embroidered on her pleated skirt.

It was neither inconspicuous nor presumptuous, but I don't know what Princess Rui was surprised about?

She could only answer hesitantly: "This jade pendant is just my own thing. May I ask, Princess Princess, is there anything wrong with it?"

Princess Rui regretted her words and suppressed her surprise and said, "Nothing, but she looks familiar."

A mere weeping crabapple jade pendant is not a rare item, even if it is made of the finest Hetian mutton fat.

But Princess Zhou of Prince Rui remembered it clearly. This jade pendant was one of more than ten birthday gifts presented by the Prince Rui’s Mansion to His Majesty when he came of age in the twelfth year of Zhaoyuan!

The reason why it is precious is that it is a beloved item left by the late Empress Dowager, the mother of the late Emperor and the old Prince Rui, and the grandmother of the current Emperor.

How could such a royal treasure end up in the possession of this girl?
