Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

The three of them did not come together. After confirming that Sheng Yuan and Lin Ze had not gone together, Lin Sui went to a quiet place to stay. He did not like that kind of situation where he had to flatter everyone.

Lin Sui sat alone in the side hall room and couldn't help but take out the peace knot that Sheng Yuan had given him.

His thumb groped for the white cat on the jade pendant below the peace knot.

Suddenly he noticed something was wrong with the jade pendant.

There was a mechanism on the jade pendant. After fumbling around for a bit, it opened, revealing a piece of gold foil red paper with four characters on it: "May you have peace and safety every year."

Red paper with black characters, sprinkled with gold foil, the sharp strokes of the pen reveal the person's dedication.

The system, Nuonuo, indicated that every gift the host gave to the adult was given with great care, and the adult had always liked every gift from the previous world.

(*?′╰╯`?)

What caught Lin Sui's attention the most was the word "year after year".

His life had always been bitter, and the few moments of peace he had were when his mother regained her senses.

His father disliked him and named him "Sui," meaning careless.

When her mother was lucid, she would call herself "Sui Sui".

At first, he thought his mother was calling him "Sui Sui," but she told him it was "Sui Sui" from "Sui Sui Nian Nian," meaning she hoped he would be safe and sound every year.

Lin Sui felt his heart pounding violently. How could he know?

No, he had never seen me before today; perhaps it was just a coincidence…

Thinking of this, Lin Sui couldn't help but laugh at himself: It's just a coincidence, yet it makes you so excited. Lin Sui, you're so pitiful!

……

At the banquet, Sheng Yuan had only been there a short time. Because Xie Shenghe himself didn't like to communicate with people, he found that his older brother had a strong aura and a quiet demeanor, so he chose to stay by Sheng Yuan's side.

Seeing that he just wanted some peace and quiet, Sheng Yuan let him be.

[Ding! The target's affection level is 12%]

Sheng Yuan silently curled his lips; it seemed his darling had discovered his little scheme.

On the other side, Lin Ze appeared in the hall, and the noble ladies from various families cast shy glances at him. Lin Ze enjoyed the scene and did not interrupt.

Xie Shengyuan's half-sister, Xie Jingle, is also among them.

Xie Jingle stared at the Regent Prince in a daze. He had a strong appearance, a tall stature, and held great power. He was still unmarried and had no concubines or maids in his harem. In every way, he was the best candidate for a husband.

As soon as Lin Ze left, Cao Huihui, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, spoke up to mock Xie Jingle: "Oh, the Xie family is truly well-mannered. What, does the second young lady of the Xie family dare to covet His Highness the Regent? Doesn't she know her own status? A concubine's daughter is not worthy of His Highness the Regent?"

"The Xie family's upbringing has never allowed anyone to spread rumors. Even if my younger sister is an illegitimate daughter, she is still the second young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Besides, Xiao Le was just in a daze and hadn't come back to her senses yet. It has nothing to do with His Highness the Regent."

Xie Jingya came up from behind and continued, "Miss Cui's remarks just now not only damaged Xiao Le's reputation, but also falsely accused His Highness the Regent. It was really inappropriate. Miss Cui should pay attention to her words and actions when she has time, and be careful not to say anything that might cause trouble."

After saying that, he pulled Xie Jingle away.

He pulled Xie Jingle to a corner and said irritably, "Our Xie family's ancestral motto is to be loyal to the emperor and protect the country. Father has chosen the current emperor, so you'd better be careful not to make the wrong choice. Father will not change his stance for your sake."

She knew from a young age that although her father seemed to love his children, he only cared about the family precepts. He would not change his stance for anyone. For example, even if he loved his mother very much, he would still take concubines into the family and have children with them to uphold his principles.

Xie Jingle looked at her elder sister in front of her.

My older sister always loves to bicker with me and cause me little trouble. She's always sharp-tongued, but she never lets me go hungry or cold. In fact, I have everything she has, and she always protects me in crucial moments.

She disliked illegitimate children, but she always acknowledged her as her younger sister and Xie Shenghe as her younger brother.

She was right. If she didn't choose the regent, she would always be the second young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Even if the mistress and her elder sister didn't seem friendly, she would still have no worries about food and clothing, and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion would always protect her.

However, if I were to choose the regent, it would contradict the stance of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and my happiness would depend entirely on the regent's decision.

But she would choose certain love over possible love.

"Jing Le will follow her elder sister's teachings."

"It's good that you understand. If you weren't related to me by blood, I wouldn't have reminded you!"

After saying that, Xie Jingya went to find her mother.

Xie Jingle followed her, and seeing her arrogant look, she couldn't help but laugh.

Perhaps this is happiness!

……

The banquet began, and the attendant, following the established procedure, said a few simple words before the banquet commenced.

The banquet was a grand affair, with music and dance filling the air. The Ministry of Rites had organized it with extreme extravagance, which was likely at the behest of Regent Linze. After all, no matter how people evaluated the banquet, the blame would ultimately fall on the emperor.

"I have heard that General Xie's condition remains stable, so let him begin attending court tomorrow." Lin Sui made this abrupt statement, surprising everyone.

Sheng Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing this. Although he didn't like waking up early to listen to people talking nonsense, it wouldn't be bad if he could see his precious baby every day.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate," the Prime Minister was the first to stand up and object.

"Oh? What's wrong with it?"

"General Xie... is unable to stand for court." The Prime Minister said, "Can't you see how inappropriate this is? His legs are useless; how can he attend court?"

"He cannot stand... then I will grant him special permission to attend court in a wheelchair," Lin Sui said thoughtfully.

"But... that's against the rules."

"What's wrong with the rules? The rules are set by the emperor. Now that I am the emperor, the rules naturally have my say. What do you think, General Xie?"

"Your Majesty's words make sense. I will obey Your Majesty's orders." Sheng Yuan could tell that he wanted the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to confront the Regent's power.

Since the little darling wants it, he will grant his wish.

"Very well, if that's the case, then it's decided. The Minister of War requested to retire to his hometown the day before yesterday, and General Xie will serve as the Minister of War from now on."

The Minister of War retired to his hometown to make way for the person appointed by Linze. He had gone to great lengths to persuade him, and now Linze has shot himself in the foot.

The original owner, Xie Shengyuan, served as a general of the third rank in the army. Now that his leg is crippled, it is impossible for him to return to the army. The position of Minister of War of the third rank is reasonable.

Lin Sui was pleased to see that Sheng Yuan was somewhat sensible, but he was even more pleased to see that the Regent's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your great kindness!" Sheng Yuanxing bowed in gratitude.

How could Lin Ze be happy to see this? This despicable woman not only failed to retrieve the military tally from Xie Shengyuan as he had instructed, but also allowed this useless Xie Shengyuan to attend court, thus strengthening the Xie family.

The Duke of Zhenguo was surprised that His Majesty not only did not mention taking back military power, but also sent his son to court.

Madam Xie was overjoyed. She had always thought of her son as a great hero who protected the country, even though his legs were crippled.

Although if the heir were to be replaced, it would still be her own son, perhaps out of favoritism, she felt that her eldest son had sacrificed too much for Da Lin, and these titles were not enough to compensate him, but at least they were some kind of reward.

He has not yet had his military power revoked, and has even been granted special permission by His Majesty to attend court; his position as heir apparent will not change.

That's already a very good thing!

……

Back at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

After washing up, Sheng Yuan sat alone on the bed and meditated.

Sheng Yuan didn't like being touched. Fortunately, the original owner of the body had never been willing to accept the fact that his legs were completely useless and had never been willing to accept help from others. So Yuan Chen left after pushing him to the bedside without suspecting anything.

[Host, I've found out. The Lord was tortured to death by Linze and then reborn.]

【Um. 】

[Huh? Why aren't you surprised, host?]

[I guessed it.]

After seeing Lin Sui's unusual behavior, Sheng Yuan vaguely guessed that it was about "rebirth".

That's why the happiness index is so low.

Those who have been betrayed will only become more wary; take it slow.
