After returning to the capital to farm, the abandoned concubine made a comeback.

Pushing open the door, Lin Qin was greeted by a bustling scene.

The staff are working diligently and systematically to make final preparations, running around adjusting the booth's location, hanging decorations, and testing the lighting and sound systems.

Everything was in perfect order, yet there was a hint of tension, like taut strings waiting for the performance to begin.

Lin Qin's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and her palms were slightly damp.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She checked every detail over and over again, from the setup of the booth to the placement of the exhibits, from the lighting effects to the sound system adjustments, for fear of missing or neglecting anything.

"Qin'er, don't be nervous, everything will be fine." A deep and magnetic voice sounded in Lin Qin's ear.

She turned her head and saw that Zhu Ling had been standing beside her at some point, looking at her tenderly.

"Yes, I know." Lin Qin replied with a smile, trying to hide her inner unease.

As time went on, more and more visitors flocked to the exhibition.

The place was bustling with noise and excitement, and the once empty space instantly became crowded.

Wow! What beautiful lanterns!

"This wood carving is exquisite! It's simply a masterpiece!"

"This shadow puppet show is so interesting! I watched it when I was a child, but it's rare to see it now."

The audience gasped in amazement, their faces beaming with excitement and curiosity, as if they had discovered a new continent.

Lin Qin looked at all this, her heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

She knew that her efforts had not been in vain, and these lost folk arts had finally been revitalized.

"My wife, you're amazing!" Zhu Ling's voice rang out again, tinged with admiration and pride.

Lin Qin turned to look at him and smiled sweetly: "I have to thank Your Highness for your support!"

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the crowd...

The commotion in the crowd was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Lin Qin looked closely and saw Zhu Ling leading a graceful and elegant woman, followed by several well-dressed young men, walking towards her.

"Qin'er, this is my mother." Zhu Ling's voice carried a hint of gentleness as he led the woman beside him to Lin Qin.

Madam Li indeed possessed a powerful aura; even with a hint of unease on her face, she remained dignified and poised.

She first gave Lin Qin a deep look, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Then, she spoke slowly, her voice tinged with apology: "I misunderstood you before, please forgive my prejudice." As she spoke, she even bowed slightly to Lin Qin.

Lin Qin quickly helped Madam Li up and said with a smile, "Madam, you're too kind. Let bygones be bygones. I didn't take it to heart."

Mrs. Li's eyes reddened slightly as she grasped Lin Qin's hand.

Those around who witnessed this scene couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Have the princess and the abandoned concubine reconciled?

This is truly the biggest show of the year!

A warm feeling welled up in Lin Qin's heart.

At this moment, more and more people entered the venue, pouring in like a flood bursting its banks.

At first glance, it was a dark mass of people, a bustling crowd; a rough count revealed that there were already more than five hundred people!

Lin Qin was overjoyed, knowing that she had achieved her goal!

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She quickly wiped her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to control her emotions.

She looked at the audience who were full of curiosity and love for folk arts, her heart filled with hope.

These ancient skills will surely continue to be passed down and carried forward in their hands!

Just then, a sharp cry of surprise pierced the lively atmosphere, "My God! How did he get here?"

The screams were coming from the entrance, where a figure was struggling to walk in against the flow of people.

That person was none other than Chairman Zhao, who had been rejected by Lin Qin before and later tried to sabotage her but ended up being reprimanded by Zhu Ling instead.

His face was ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly, yet he had to force out a smile that was even uglier than crying, making him look like a meme.

When Craftsman Sun saw Chairman Zhao appear, his eyes darted around, and a plan came to mind.

He deliberately spoke loudly, "Hey, isn't this Chairman Zhao? What, you're interested in this junk now? Who said these things had no market? Why are you here now?"

Chairman Zhao's face became even more colorful after being sarcasticly rebuked by Craftsman Sun, turning red and white in turns like a palette of colors.

He glared at the craftsman Sun, but dared not retaliate, since he needed Sun's help.

"Hmph! I didn't come here today to see these things!" Chairman Zhao forced out a sentence, suppressing his anger.

He turned to look at Lin Qin and said with a forced smile, "Ms. Lin, your exhibition was quite well done. It really broadened my horizons!"

"President Zhao, you flatter me." Lin Qin smiled faintly, her tone devoid of any smugness.

Seeing that Lin Qin wasn't responding, Chairman Zhao continued, "I heard that Boss Lin is looking for funding to support these folk arts and crafts. I wonder if I have the honor of being able to contribute?"

“No need.” A cold voice interrupted.

Zhu Ling stood beside Lin Qin, her eyes sweeping over Chairman Zhao like sharp blades, her tone carrying a hint of warning: "We appreciate Chairman Zhao's kindness. However, we do not need your help."

Chairman Zhao was intimidated by Zhu Ling's imposing aura, and his face turned deathly pale instantly.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he said nothing and slunk away.

Upon seeing this, craftsman Sun shrank back in fright and hid in the crowd.

"Thank you." Lin Qin turned to look at Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling smiled gently and took Lin Qin's hand in his. "Protecting you is my responsibility."

Even after the exhibition ended, people's enthusiasm for folk arts and crafts remained high.

Many people expressed their willingness to learn these skills or provide financial support.

Surrounded by the crowd, Lin Qin felt as if she were standing in the center of a dazzling stage, her heart filled with pride and joy.

Suddenly, a slightly hesitant voice rang out from outside the crowd: "Excuse me, is Mr. Lin... is he here?"

Lin Qin stood in the center of the venue, looking around. The lively crowd was like boiling water, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.

She felt like a firecracker that had been lit, exploding into countless sparks that illuminated every corner.

Become!

She roared inwardly, "I've finally succeeded!"

This feeling is even better than suddenly becoming extremely wealthy!

Look at that master sugar sculptor, his skillful hands flying up and down, he sculpted a lifelike Sun Wukong in just a few minutes, drawing applause and cheers from the children.

Then look at the embroiderer, her silver needles weaving through the silk, bringing lifelike flowers and birds to life on the cloth. She is truly "embroidering" the most amazing stitch!

And then there's the shadow puppet troupe, with their singing, recitation, acting, and fighting—it's all so captivating that people of all ages are thoroughly entertained, calling them "the eternal gods!"

This isn't just an exhibition; it's a massive product recommendation event!

Lin Qin's lips curled up into a wide smile, revealing a classic "auntie smile".

At this moment, she seemed to be standing on an award stage, receiving a baptism of flowers and applause.

She felt like a female protagonist with superpowers, overcoming difficulties and leveling up all the way to finally reach the pinnacle of life.

"Qin'er," a deep voice sounded in her ear, with a hint of doting laughter, "you look beautiful today."

Lin Qin turned her head and saw Zhu Ling gazing at her affectionately, his eyes shining brighter than the stars in the sky.

She winked playfully: "What day is it today? Even the prince has learned to say sweet words?"

Zhu Ling gently pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Every day is a good day, as long as you are by my side."

The image of the two embracing is like a beautiful painting, frozen in the midst of the bustling crowd.

People around them cast envious glances, some even whispering, "The prince and princess are so loving!" "The princess is so lucky!"

Lin Qin felt a sweet warmth in her heart as she listened to these discussions, sweeter than if she had eaten honey.

She knew that she was not only successful in her career, but also had found sweet love; she was truly a winner in life!

Just then, a man dressed in fine clothes walked over and respectfully bowed to Lin Qin: "Ms. Lin, I've long admired your name. I am..."

"Wait!" Lin Qin suddenly interrupted him, her eyes fixed intently on him. "The jade pendant you're wearing..."
