The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Minister Lin spoke somewhat reluctantly: "Since Her Majesty the Empress has spoken, then this humble subject is happy to oblige."

Lin Jiuqing raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "What do you think of the new top scholar?"

Minister Lin: "...A handsome and talented man, not bad."

“I also think he is good,” Lin Jiuqing said with a smile. “Although he comes from a humble background and has no relatives, he is very talented and of noble character. Given time, he will surely achieve great things.”

"He is indeed not quite good enough to match your daughter, but he has a sincere heart and can genuinely treat your daughter well. That is the most important thing, Your Excellency."

Minister Lin's expression softened, and he said softly, "Your Majesty is right."

In this world, for a woman, nothing is more important than marrying someone who truly treats her well.

His household is not lacking in gold and silver; what it lacks is a sincere heart.

Lin Jiuqing knew that Minister Lin doted on his daughter, and these words struck a chord with him.

“I know that Your Excellency has just reunited with your daughter and wants to enjoy family life. But as the saying goes, men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. Even if Your Excellency is reluctant, you should consider their feelings.”

"Furthermore, Miss Lin's status is now different, and those who want to marry her will probably be lining up at the door. Rather than letting those who don't know her background bother her, it would be better to settle things as soon as possible, which would be a good thing for both Miss Lin and the Minister."

Lin Jiuqing's words struck a chord with Minister Lin.

Since the family reunion banquet, suitors have been coming to propose marriage in droves, including princes and nobles as well as those presumptuous scoundrels.

They didn't take Lin Qingqing, who was an orphan, seriously at all. They just wanted to use her as a stepping stone to climb into the Lin family.

His wife has been getting headaches from these people these past few days, and she curses them every day at home: What do they think they are? What do they think the Lin family is? They think any Tom, Dick, or Harry can lay a finger on Qingqing?

Compared to those who don't know Lin Qingqing's background and are only trying to take advantage of her, Liu Jingwen is indeed the best choice.

At least, he was talented and genuinely cared for Lin Qingqing.

Most importantly, when Minister Lin left court today, he overheard that shameless Lord Pei clinging to Liu Jingwen, saying he wanted to marry his daughter to Liu Jingwen.

Fortunately, Liu Jingwen refused decisively, otherwise he would have been unable to resist going up and fighting with the old man.

Seeing that Minister Lin's eyes were darting around, Lin Jiuqing didn't urge him, always giving him time to consider.

As the two talked, they entered the inner hall. Mo Xiao looked up from a pile of memorials and saw Lin Jiuqing. He was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lin Jiuqing took the food box from Yingyue and said with a smile, "I've come to deliver some soup to His Majesty."

She stepped forward, took out the soup, and placed it on the table: "Want to try some? I made it myself."

Mo Xiao immediately frowned: "There are so many people in the small kitchen, why do you have to do it yourself?"

Lin Jiuqing: "I was just bored, wasn't I?"

"Oh, you should try it first."

Mo Xiao glanced at her and said, "Don't go into the kitchen anymore. There are too many things and it's too messy inside. You might hurt yourself."

Lin Jiuqing: "I know, I know."

In reality, she didn't take it seriously.

From childhood to adulthood, what hardships hasn't she endured? Only Mo Xiao treats her like a treasure, always feeling that everything she does is dangerous.

Helpless, Mo Xiao picked up the soup, took a sip, and then praised it without reservation: "It's delicious. How can my Empress be so amazing?"
