Chapter 41: The fool and the daughter-in-law became sister-in-law

Lin Chujiu is a strong and insolent woman, so the palace guards didn’t dare to make things difficult for her again. While the Crown Prince could not only stop Lin Chujiu but also experience a big loss.

So at that moment, Crown Prince Xiao Tianrui couldn’t help but gritted his teeth while looking at the carriage getting farther away. Right now, he could only be patient. Who let Lin Chujiu become Prince Xiao’s w.a.n.gfei anyway? If she didn’t become his Imperial Aunt then he could scold her anytime.

Lin Chujiu scolding the eunuch and the palace guards in front of the palace gate immediately spread. So, the palace people didn’t dare to offend her and when she arrived. They immediately prepare a chair for her, so that she could rest.

Originally, she should visit the palace with Prince Xiao. But, because of physical discomfort, he couldn’t come with her. However, the visiting procedure is still the same.

After she rests for a bit. They took Lin Chujiu to the emperor. Lin Chujiu kneel in front of him and pay respect. Fortunately, the emperor didn’t embarra.s.s her and just asked how is she and what had happened in front of the palace gate.

The emperor’s words are very friendly as if he is trying to coax a fool. However, Lin Chujiu only said what happened and incited the words that Xiao Tianyao has instructed.

Lin Chujiu know that the emperor is treating her like this because of the original owner of the body’s reputation. Before, Lin Furen let her act unruly, capricious, ignorant, reckless and scheming girl.

If she was still the previous Lin Chujiu, she will definite follow the emperor’s words. But unfortunately, she is not the silly Lin Chujiu! If she was still the same, Xiao Tianyao won’t let her enter the palace alone.

Now, whatever she do, she is representing the Xiao w.a.n.gfu and Prince Xiao’s face. So, she wouldn’t do and say what she shouldn’t. However, if she does, Xiao Tianyao must clean up her mess.

Lin Chujiu is not stupid to can’t understand what the emperor really want her to say. But, she also doesn’t want the emperor to see her shrewd side. So, she just silly reported that the palace guards embarra.s.sed her, didn’t allowed her to enter the palace with her carriage, the crown prince didn’t greet and called her by her name as if she was only a servant in Xiao w.a.n.gfu.

Zhenzhu and Manao felt like they got shot by an arrow with her acting!

After all, Lin Chujiu only said a bunch of words about how bad the people of the palace treated her and didn’t even said a thing about Xiao w.a.n.gfu. The emperor frowns his eyebrows, he couldn’t tell if Lin Chujiu is a fool or just acting like a fool. But… …

If she is a fool, then why she haven’t got his hint?

If she is acting like a fool, then how could she just complain about how bad is his people in front of him?

Or is he the fool for expecting something from Lin Chujiu?

Lin Chujiu wanted to see the emperor get dissatisfied and impatient. So, she keeps talking about the bad side of the palace and didn’t stop.

“Huángshàng (Emperor), whenever I visit the palace before I didn’t encounter any trouble. But now, why did I encounter so many bad things? Did Huángshàng bestow me with an unlucky marriage? Isn’t my ident.i.ty as Princess Xiao is much higher than before when I’m only the eldest miss of Lin Family? So, why now I get in trouble? And also, it seems the crown prince is now allowed to go out the palace anytime. And you know Huángshàng, I saw the crown prince and my meimei (younger sister) hugging each other before. Huángshàng… …”

Lin Chujiu didn’t stop her mouth, she continues complaining about the palace and the crown prince. So, the emperor finally got impatient and said: “Well, now that I’ve seen she’s fine. You can take her to the empress.”

The emperor cannot stand Lin Chujiu anymore and doesn’t want to waste more of his time to a fool. However, just by thinking that a fool like Lin Chujiu is Prince Xiao’s w.a.n.gfei, he’s mood turn better.

In just a few days after their marriage, Prince Xiao already offended the Lin Family and he almost falls out. Prince Xiao must also be a fool for offending his w.a.n.gfei’s family. But still, his younger brother prince right now should be very ‘happy’ and must be feeling grateful for him for giving him such a w.a.n.gfei.

The emperor’s guessed is half right. After all, when Xiao Tianyao learns how did Lin Chujiu answer the emperor’s inquiries. He really felt grateful that the emperor has bestowed him a wife who had a brain.

“The emperor didn’t realize that he was played by a woman? Benw.a.n.g couldn’t understand why did he send this woman anyway.” Xiao Tianyao’s mocking face exposed a very shallow smile.

Lin Chujiu is really a smart woman and knows when to back out. But unfortunately, the emperor has given him this w.a.n.gfei. If she wasn’t given by him, then he is certainly willing to use her.

After playing like a fool and fooling the emperor. Lin Chujiu was brought to the empress’s Luan Feng Palace (Phoenix Hall). This time, the Empress didn’t also embarra.s.s Lin Chujiu and just let her wait for a short while in front of the door. After a few minutes, the Empress’s personal maidservant Yun Zhu came to pick up Lin Chujiu.

Before, Lin Chujiu was the empress’s daughter-in-law, so she visits the Empress from time to time to greet her. Yun Zhu got also familiar with Lin Chujiu, after all, she had asked her many times to help her say good words to the Empress. Unfortunately, Yun Zhu doesn’t like her and even treat her cold.

“Aunt Yun Zhu.” Lin Chujiu still look the same as before, even her greetings with her is the same too. So, Yun Zhu only respectfully greets Lin Chujiu and treat her as coldly as before: “This slave greets Princess Xiao. The Empress has been waiting for a long time now, so please… …”

Yun Zhu bowed down her head and led Lin Chujiu through the door and announces her arrival, which is very different from their treatment before.

Lin Chujiu silently laugh, but Yun Zhu didn’t saw her. Then, she and Zhenzhu started walking into the hall.

Inside the Luan Feng Palace, the Crown Prince and the empress were only the people inside. The Empress was wearing her imperial crown while sitting on the top with a smile on her face. However, even if Lin Chujiu was still one hundred meters away from her. She can already feel the pressure that is coming from her.

Crown Prince Xiao Tianrui was standing beside the Empress. However, even though he is standing straight beside her, he only looks like the Empress’s servant. So, Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but doubt: Is he really the Empress’s son? How come there’s a big difference?

However, that is not the issue that Lin Chujiu wanted to consider much. When she moved closer, the fragrance inside the hall seems to remind her that there were a lot of women that had previously come.

It seems that those imperial concubines that had greeted her earlier had been sent away immediately. After all, her previous daughter-in-law is not worth showing off.

Lin Chujiu stands in front of the Empress with a gentle and pleasant smile on her face. She also made sure that her smile looks a bit sincere. Lin Chujiu greeted the Empress the same way she greeted the Emperor. Then, she immediately apologizes on behalf of Prince Xiao for being absent. All her words seem like a script that was prepared early because she didn’t stop.

Xiao Tianyao doesn’t know when will he visit the palace again, so he just sent Lin Chujiu to represent him.

“Chujiu, ben gong (this empress) wake up so early in the morning to wait for you. Ben gong was looking forward to seeing you.” The empress said while secretly imposing a pressure on Lin Chujiu. But, if a person doesn’t know the real relations.h.i.+p between them, that person would think that they have a closed relations.h.i.+p.

However, Lin Chujiu just smile and sit down, but didn’t say a word.

After she sits, the maidservant immediately serves her a tea. The Empress who look so happy said: “Chujiu, quickly taste your favorite tea. Ben gong asks the kitchen servants to prepare them while waiting for you to come.”

“Many thanks, niangniang (Empress).” Lin Chujiu hold the tea cup and was about to pretend to drink. However, the medical system suddenly sent a warning sound… …
