Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 94
Chapter 94
(35.3)
Lin Zixian and the crown prince knew each other since childhood, but the crown prince was several years older than her, while she was still a little baby drinking milk, the crown prince had already reached the age to start learning to write and read, and when the first empress was still alive, the crown prince’s temperament wasn’t grave nor cold at all, he was just a little more steady than ordinary children, but he used to pick fruits with Lin Zixian and catch fish with her, and also push her on the swing, making sure she was safe on it.
As a matter of fact, the two could be considered childhood sweethearts, the old matriarch Lin was their grandmother, so naturally she was happy to see them together (when they were little). Moreover, now that Lin Zixian had reached the age of maturity, seeing the regent crown prince who was now in charge of the empire with great power, naturally she had some ideas.
These days, the old matriarch Lin had been looking for a husband for Lin Zixian, but did not have at all the intention to arrange a marriage between her granddaughter and the young ruler.
She had never hidden her movements, so it was impossible for Lin Zixian not to know anything, but the old matriarch Lin was a woman who stood by her words, and she wouldn’t change her mind just because of Lin Zixian’s childishness and capriciousness.
Lin Zixian did not say it aloud, but the old lady Lin knew very well who she was thinking about in her heart, but she no longer answered her granddaughter’s questions, slowly got up, and had the servants tidy up her clothes.
……
Xi Xian helped her old grandmother to take her seat, and not long after, she saw an old woman wearing a purple forehead band with two dragons playing with beads, being supported by a young girl in a pink dress, slowly leaning on crutches, as she made her way towards the main seat.
The old woman was very old and her wrinkles were very deep, making her look a bit serious and rigid. Xi Xian’s gaze accidentally met with her.
Xi Xian lowered her eyes, her heart started thumping.
The old matriarch Lin looked awe-inspiring and rigid, but when she started to speak with people, she was unexpectedly friendly and kind, and chatted with every old lady according to the order of their seat. When she was faced with younger women and girls, she also knew the recent situation of each one of them, who recently had a child, or whose son had recently gotten married, which girl was waiting for her marriage, and with whom she was going to get married to.
She talked lively all along and had the concurrence of the crowd. She entertained the guests very properly, and thus the atmosphere very quickly became happy and harmonious.
?
Xi Xian could tell that the Lin old matriarch and her grandmother were old acquaintances, but she could not say how familiar they were with each other, at best, they were acquaintances that nodded their head at each other. When she was mentioned, her grandmother did not say much about her, she just said one or two small remarks, skimming over the topic.
The old matriarch Lin was a little interested in her, she even asked her to come forward, before taking off her own bracelet to give it to Xi Xian.
The old matriarch Lin’s hand was warm and soft, she held Xi Xian’s hand and gave her a bracelet of icy jade, exquisitely transparent like water, and praised her with a smile: “This miss, your facial structure is good.”
The young girl in front of her had slender fingers, with an even proportion of flesh and bones, her skin was delicate and white, like a jade in the palm of the hand.
What was even more precious were the girl’s bright and soft eyes, who looked very clear, she had a perfect lips proportion, her mouth was like a cherry, the bridge of her nose was straight like the root of a mountain and not curved, her face was small and plump, and the lower part of her face was plump with moisture. She could expect great fortune later in her life, for she had the face of someone with a powerful husband.
The old lady’s eyes were viciously accurate, carefully looking at her face, she could see she had coated her face with powder, and felt that it was somewhat not appropriate, she had made her face darker.
She wasn’t sure why this miss was so naughty, perhaps her temperament was bit spoiled and capricious.
That could be changed.
The old woman was a firm believer in facial reading, and she even more firmly believed that people’s face changed when they were met with a change of circumstances.
For example, if one was born with a red face and an unlucky fate, if their destiny changed, every part of their face would also change, and in the end, they would have the opposite fate.
The old lady had seen many high born ladies, which more or less had traces of a heavenly fate in their cheeks, and who also had their own plans and ambitions. Needless to say, they were all also excellent girls, but they might not be suitable for a mighty and cold man.
Xi Xian being like this was very good.
She then asked Xi Xian what her name was, what books she had studied, and what she liked to do in her spare time, she was not overly enthusiastic, and just seemed like a very friendly elder, like she was just casually chatting.
