A life of ups and downs is pure joy

"Big brother..." Lin Qinghuan stood in Lin Yuzhi's study, looked at him who was writing, and called out softly.

"Sit there and read for a while while I finish writing these." Lin Yuzhi raised his handsome face and looked at her, speaking softly.

Lin Qinghuan sat obediently at the desk next to her older brother, secretly glancing at him from the gap above the book. Alas, the quarrel with Xiao Qiannan today must have reached Lin Yuzhi's ears.

After a long time, Lin Yuzhi finally finished his work. He stood up and walked over to sit next to Lin Qinghuan. "What stories are written in this book?"

"Big brother, Huan'er has been troubled by her worries and has not read a single word." Lin Qinghuan put down the book and said honestly and obediently.

"Huan'er, do you know why big brother called you here?" Lin Yuzhi looked at his sister seriously and said.

"Huan'er was wrong. She shouldn't have had a verbal conflict with Miss Xiao." Lin Qinghuan lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"Your biggest mistake is forgetting that we're in Kyoto. How can you just casually say that your father is a first-rank military marquis?"

"It was Miss Xiao who provoked me first, so I couldn't help myself..." Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Yuzhi aggrievedly. This was the first time he scolded himself so harshly.

"Do you know why Dad has made us live in Luofeng City all these years?" Lin Yuzhi said in a softer tone when he saw how pitiful she was.

"Because Luofeng City is my father's hometown, and the house is big, so it's more comfortable to live in."

"Is Daddy a man who only cares about comfort? Silly girl."

"Not really. If he was seeking comfort, he would definitely not go to Yinan all year round. Why is that?" Lin Qinghuan asked curiously.

"You know that being highly successful is not always a good thing. Daddy doesn't want to stay in Kyoto to protect us. The lower the profile, the more stable we can live. The position of the Grand Marshal is second only to the emperor and above everyone else, so it's too high. There are more people eyeing him covetously." Lin Yuzhi explained to her patiently.

"Big brother, doesn't the emperor trust daddy so much? Won't he keep our family safe?"

"Huan'er, the ruler of the world is the current emperor, but the one who is praised the most by the people is daddy, what do you think?" After Lin Yuzhi finished speaking, Lin Qinghuan suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. Since ancient times, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and now daddy, who holds the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops, is both a meritorious official and a hot potato for the emperor.

"Big brother, Huan'er knows how he behaved today. I will go back to Luofeng and stay there obediently in a few days. Big brother, you should go back with me. We won't stay in Kyoto anymore, okay?" Lin Qinghuan said, holding Lin Yuzhi's hand.

"Huan'er, did the imperial concubine see you today?" Lin Yuzhi asked.

"Yes, fourth brother's mother gave me a flower, and I also met the prince." Lin Qinghuan replied.

"You sisters should return to Luofeng early tomorrow morning." Lin Yuzhi suddenly stood up and said.

Seeing him like this, Lin Qinghuan was terrified. "Big brother, why are you so anxious?"

Just as Lin Yuzhi was about to reply, there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Young Master, there is an oral order from the palace." Lin Yuzhi's servant Sanli said outside the door.

"It's too late after all." Lin Yuzhi murmured as he looked at his sister. Lin Qinghuan sat there anxiously with her big innocent eyes open, looking up at Lin Yuzhi.

"It's okay, Huan'er, you have big brother here." Lin Yuzhi saw his sister's fear, squatted down and touched her head to comfort her.

The next day, she went to the palace to meet the Emperor and the Empress. The Empress held Lin Qinghuan's hand affectionately.

"Your Majesty, Qinghuan is such a beautiful child. I like her no matter how I look at her," the Queen Mother said to the Emperor.

"If the Queen likes it, please let the child come to the palace more often to accompany you. It happens that you only have two princes and no princesses." The Emperor looked very kind. If it weren't for what her eldest brother told her last night, Lin Qinghuan would have thought that the old Emperor was just a kind uncle.

"General Lin has made great contributions to our Dasheng Dynasty. Your Majesty, please confer the title of princess on Huan'er as a reward." The Queen Mother kept looking at Lin Qinghuan and smiling, as if she liked her very much.

"Then let the Queen decide on the title of the princess," the Emperor said, looking at Lin Qinghuan.

"Huan'er, why don't you kneel down and thank me?" The Queen reminded Lin Qinghuan who had not yet entered the state.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor." She quickly knelt down and said.

"Qinghuan, what did you mean by 'Long live' later?" the emperor asked curiously.

"Hmm?" Lin Qinghuan raised her head and looked at him in confusion, "Long live the king!" Is there something wrong?

"What does this mean?" the Queen asked curiously.

Could it be that the Dasheng Dynasty doesn't say the word "Long live"? Thinking of this, Lin Qinghuan felt a burst of joy in his heart.

"Dad has always told us brothers and sisters since we were young that the emperor is a holy monarch, so Huan'er hopes that the emperor can live a hundred years, a thousand years, and protect the people of our Dasheng Dynasty like the Daluo Buddha in the West. So I accidentally said what was in my heart. I hope Your Majesty will not blame Huan'er for speaking without restraint." Lin Qinghuan flattered him.

"Long live her, long live her, long live her, hahahahaha, announce the decree to confer her the title of Princess Changping, and reward her with a hundred pieces of brocade and ten thousand taels of gold!" His Majesty the Emperor said happily.

"Princess Changping! The Emperor treats Huan'er so well!" the Empress sighed.

After returning home, Lin Yuzhi looked at the imperial edict and the reward for the title of Princess Changping, "Princess Changping, why would His Majesty Huan'er confer the title of Changping on you?"

"Big brother, is there anything wrong?" Lin Qinghuan looked at him strangely and asked.

"Huan'er, only legitimate princesses can be called this title. What happened since you entered the palace?"

Lin Qinghuan told his elder brother Lin Yuzhi everything that had happened.

"Long live! Long live! Long live! Long live! Huan'er, your little head is quite full of energy." Lin Yuzhi couldn't help laughing as he looked at Lin Qinghuan.

"Big brother, did Huan'er do something wrong again?" She looked at Lin Yuzhi a little nervously.

"It's okay. The emperor gave you the reward because he likes you. You've been tired after the whole morning. Go back to the courtyard and rest." Lin Yuzhi said gently.

On the way back, Lin Qinghuan kept wondering whether what he had done was right or not. He would never dare to cause trouble like this again.

In the Qifeng Palace, the queen sat in her own seat, Liu Ji sat beside her, and Liu Rong was waiting beside her.

"Empress, I heard that His Majesty personally conferred the title of Princess Changping on the Lin family's legitimate daughter?" Liu Ji asked.

"Well, what does my eldest sister-in-law think about this matter?" asked Empress Xiao.

"General Lin has made great military achievements, so it's normal to confer the title of a princess on his daughter. But the title of Changping is a bit too grand." Liu Ji said in confusion.

"She called out to His Majesty, 'Long live the emperor!' How many princesses do you think would think of this word?" Empress Xiao smiled faintly.

Liu Ji smiled. It seemed that the child of the Lin family was quite smart.

"I don't have a princess. Since His Majesty has conferred the title of Princess Changping on her, the child should simply live in the palace from now on."

"I heard that the child was in poor health and has only just gotten better in recent years. This..."

"With so many imperial doctors in the palace, it's naturally okay."

"My Lady, is this what His Majesty meant?"

"Ah."

On the way back home, Liu Ji's face was full of worry.

"Eldest sister, does the Queen mean that this girl from the Lin family will stay in Jinhan City?"

"Hey, tell Yu'er to come back early."
