The weak prince's queen

Lin Ruoyun had been diligently practicing her dance skills lately, while also maintaining her body in optimal condition. At this moment, she was in her boudoir, a slightly unhappy look on her face as she asked her mother, "Mother, what do you think I should do now? Should I take the initiative? After all, there has been no news about the Crown Prince in the past few days."

Mrs. Lin thought for a moment and then responded, "Don't worry, my dear daughter. Let's wait patiently for a while. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly interested in my daughter, he will surely invite her again."

However, Lin Ruoyun was obviously unable to suppress her inner anxiety and said anxiously: "But, it has been several days! Mother, do you think that the prince simply doesn't like his daughter? What should I do then?" As she spoke, a trace of worry and uneasiness appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Seeing this, Madam Lin quickly spoke to comfort him, "Alas, silly child, how could it be possible? Our Yun'er is so outstanding, gentle and charming, how could she not catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Don't worry, just wait a little longer, and your opportunity will naturally come."

Lin Ruoyun frowned slightly and answered worriedly, "But so much time has passed, and there has been no news..." Her words revealed a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Bijun walked in lightly. She was holding an envelope tightly in her hand, with a mysterious smile on her face, and said softly, "Madam, someone just delivered a letter, saying it's for the young lady."

When Lin Ruoyun heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, like a flash of lightning across the night sky. She reached out impatiently and snatched the letter away. Her movements were both eager and careful, as if she were holding a rare treasure.

Lin Ruoyun slowly opened the envelope, each movement extremely gentle, fearing to damage the letter inside. As the letter unfolded, her eyes were immediately drawn to the words. Scripted in vibrant strokes, it read: "Miss Lin Ruoyun, I am Master Xuan. I have specially invited you to a gathering at Zuixianlou today. I hope you will honor me with your presence."

Seeing these words, Lin Ruoyun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her cheeks flushed involuntarily. She was so excited that her voice trembled a little, and she stammered, "Madam... He asked me out..." Her joy was beyond words.

Mrs. Lin, who was standing by, saw this and hurried forward, taking the letter from her daughter's hand and reading it carefully. After finishing, she also smiled brightly and said excitedly, "I knew my Yun'er would be able to do it! That's great... Someone come quickly and dress the young lady up immediately!"

Hearing the order, Xiang'er did not dare to neglect it at all and hurried to Lin Ruoyun's side, ready to help her dress up carefully. Meanwhile, Lin Ruoyun sat in front of the bronze mirror, staring at herself in the mirror, secretly thinking about what kind of makeup she should show to others.

After a moment, she seemed to have come up with a brilliant idea. A gleam flashed in her eyes, and she muttered to herself, "I need to put on a unique makeup look. Hmm... Oh, he must be used to seeing women with heavy makeup on weekdays, so this time I want to go for something fresh, elegant, and unique. Xiang'er, quickly go get my pink dress."

Lin Ruoyun took delicate steps and slowly put on the light pink dress she had carefully chosen. She stood still and carefully examined herself in the bronze mirror. The person in the mirror had a face as rosy as a peach, eyebrows as dark as distant black, eyes as clear as autumn water, lips as red as natural rouge, and long, shiny black hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall.

She gently raised her hand and inserted an exquisite jade hairpin into her hair, instantly making her look even more charming and attractive. At this moment, a sound of light footsteps was heard. It turned out to be Madam Lin.

Mrs. Lin looked at her graceful daughter with eyes full of amazement and admiration. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Yun'er, you are so beautiful! With this dress, you are just like a fairy descending to earth."

Hearing her mother's praise, Lin Ruoyun couldn't help but feel a little shy, a blush appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Mom... please stop teasing your daughter."

Mrs. Lin smiled faintly, took her daughter's hand, and said earnestly, "Yun'er, I know you've always been intelligent and kind, but I still have a few words to tell you. Men in this world often don't cherish things that come easily. So you must learn to judge the situation, pay attention to what he likes, and do your best to cater to his preferences. However, you can't just give in blindly. You must also learn to use the strategy of playing hard to get. Only then can you firmly grasp a man's heart and make him completely devoted to you."

Lin Ruoyun nodded obediently and replied, "Okay, mother, I've remembered everything you said. Just wait for my good news."

Mrs. Lin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied and kind smile that warmed people's hearts like the warm spring sun. Then, she asked softly, "My child, is everything ready? I've asked the coachman to prepare the carriage, and it's waiting outside the door now."

Lin Ruoyun, standing nearby, took a deep breath, as if inhaling the fresh air around her, to calm her slightly nervous heart about what was about to happen. After a moment, she nodded gently and replied in a firm and slightly excited tone, "Yes, mother, everything is arranged on my side. Let's set off now."

At this moment, Madam Lin slowly turned her head, her gaze landing on the maid Xiang'er. With a serious expression, she once again solemnly instructed, "Xiang'er, you must take good care of the young lady wholeheartedly. You must not slack off or neglect her in the slightest. If I learn that the young lady has suffered any injustice on the road, you will be held responsible."

Upon hearing this, Xiang'er did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and quickly responded very respectfully: "Please rest assured, madam. I will do my best to serve you and will never let you suffer any injustice." After that, she raised her head and looked at Madam Lin with a firm gaze, indicating that she would not fail her mission.

After receiving Xiang'er's affirmative response, Madam Lin finally felt relieved. She stood still, her eyes fixed on Lin Ruoyun's graceful steps. She watched as Lin Ruoyun, with her graceful steps, slowly boarded the beautifully decorated carriage. Before getting on, she turned back once more and cast a loving glance at Madam Lin behind her.

Seeing this, Madam Lin smiled and gently waved at Lin Ruoyun, signaling her to go on her way without worries. Seeing her mother's actions, Lin Ruoyun felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and thought to herself, "Mom, just wait for my good news!"

With the rumbling of the wheels, the carriage carrying Lin Ruoyun gradually moved away. However, Mrs. Lin remained standing, not moving for a long time. Watching the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, Mrs. Lin felt a mixture of emotions. On the one hand, she was full of anticipation for her daughter's journey, hoping that it would be smooth sailing; on the other hand, she couldn't help but feel a little worried and concerned, after all, this was her daughter's lifelong event...
