1782 The Lin Family’s Visit 5
The atmosphere inside Fengxian Palace was resplendent and dazzling with gold, exuding an aura of utmost luxury. It gave off a sense of refined cultivation and exquisite beauty.
One could only find such an exquisitely designed garden within the walls of an imperial palace…
If only they could spend the rest of their lives here…
Mrs. Lin let out a regretful sigh, knowing that she might never have the opportunity to reside in such a place.
Polite servants could be seen everywhere, warmly greeting her. It was an incredible feeling.
Mrs. Lin found herself unwilling to leave this place.
“Welcome to Fengxian Palace,” the eunuch said in a hoa.r.s.e voice.
Mrs. Lin reluctantly tore her gaze away from the magnificent surroundings and entered Fengxian Palace quietly.
Fengxian Palace was situated in the most prestigious location within the palace, adorned with the finest decorations, reflecting unparalleled elegance.
There was an important piece of news awaiting her there.
Both the King and the Queen resided in Fengxian Palace.
Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
It was truly remarkable how everything had unfolded.
When she first encountered Gu Chaoyan, the girl was sun-kissed and plump, and Mrs. Lin had no interest in a.s.sociating with her, especially since her birth mother had already claimed half of the Lin Family’s a.s.sets.
But then Gu Chaoyan saved Jiashu’s life.
She became engaged to Lord Huai.
She was hailed as the Phoenix Girl.
And now… she was the revered Queen!
Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but think that Gu Chaoyan was the most extraordinary woman she had ever encountered.
With a sigh, Mrs. Lin acknowledged that they had arrived at Fengxian Palace.
This was the first time Gu Chaoyan wore the Queen’s robe as she took her seat in Fengxian Palace.
The three members of the Lin Family respectfully greeted her.
“Please,” Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly upon seeing their greetings.
“We’ve just received some new garments and jewelry in the palace storeroom, Aunt and cousin. I’m sure you’ll find something you like. Sword One, accompany them to choose whatever they desire. Uncle, I would like to have a word with you,” Gu Chaoyan said candidly.
She still addressed them in a familial manner.
She still chose to address Mrs. Lin as Aunt and Lin Jiashu as cousin, out of respect for her own mother and Lin Jiaxing.
Mrs. Lin appeared disappointed and left, searching for an excuse to procure something nice for Jiashu. However, they were now asked to leave the area.
What could be going on?
Perhaps she was not meant to be involved in the Queen’s affairs.
Despite her disappointment, Mrs. Lin had no choice but to depart.
Lin Jiaxing remained alone with Gu Chaoyan and Lingyun in Fengxian Palace.
Observing the situation, Lin Jiaxing asked earnestly, “What’s happening? Are you facing any difficulties? Share it with me, and I’ll do my best to help. I may just be a businessman with limited influence, but I’ll give it my all!”
Gu Chaoyan felt her heart warm at Lin Jiaxing’s words.
In this world, where she had no family of her own, Lin Jiaxing, her uncle, displayed genuine affection and concern for her.
Her uncle had misunderstood her due to her refined demeanor, but his love for her was evident.
Gu Chaoyan smiled and said, “It is fine. I am just trying to ask you about something that happened in the past.”
” “…”
“Did the Lin Family have any enemies with anyone, like did mother have anyone who disliked her? Or, did the Lin Family get in touch with any powerful people?”
Lin Jiaxing started to think carefully in head.
Maybe…
The Lin Family used to be an imperial business family, rich for some time.
His father had a great personality.
So as for enemies…
Lin Jiaxing thought for a while…
Then he turned to Gu Chaoyan.
