Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 95
~End of chapter 94
The old lady Lin 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.
Chapter 95
(35.4)
As Lin Zixian served tea for her grandmother and took a glance at her, she was quite surprised.
When had her grandmother ever been so kind towards a junior?
This Xi family’s sixth miss, even though she had been in the limelight for a while these days, yet she didn’t deserve her grandmother’s fondness like this.
Now, she was actually seeing Xi Xian’s appearance, she had a delicate and beautiful face, but her complexion didn’t look very good, it was somewhat yellowish and dark.
Her original pearl-like beauty seemed as if it was covered by dust, so she looked like she would disappear in a crowd, her etiquette was average, and she was not outstanding.
Lin Zixian really did not understand, how come a girl that could be said to be ordinary was praised and favored so much by everyone ?
When she met Xi Xian’s gaze, she gave Xi Xian a broad and friendly smile.
But Xi Xian just lowered her head, slowly sipped a mouthful of tea, and put her hair behind her ear with her hand, not paying any attention to Lin Zixian. Her posture was elegant and delicate. That was the natural gracefulness coming from her very bones.
Lin Zixian curled up her lips and smiled lightly, not caring about her offense. After all, she did not believe she needed to argue with Xi Xian, they were not in the same class, there was no need.
For the old matriarch Lin’s birthday banquet, they had at least invited thousands of people, everyone who had a noble and official status in Chang’an had been invited to, no one had been offended by not being invited, but the people who could sit on the same table as the old matriarch Lin were not many. Most of them were old women, around the same age, so they could have a proper conversation and not be like the young ladies, who were still laughing, joking and arguing.
As for why everyone was currying favor with the Lin family, naturally, that was because the Lin family was the maternal family of the crown prince, and when the crown prince ascends to the throne as the new emperor in the future, the Lin family would be the maternal family of the emperor.
Without even speaking of the glory and the losses, being in the limelight for some time was inevitable.
Today, for the old lady’s birthday banquet, even the regent crown prince who was busy with political affairs offered her many birthday gifts.
The man did not come in person, so naturally Xi Xian was relieved.
Thinking about it, that was about right, after all, the old emperor was still sick, if the crown prince personally came to celebrate the birthday, it would be somewhat inappropriate, and he wouldn’t do that.
On the other hand, the Lin old matriarch informed everyone that she was tired, and left in the middle of the birthday banquet, supported by Lin Zixian, to return to her bedroom in her courtyard.
Everyone knew that the old matriarch’s health was not good, so they did not doubt anything, and just told her that taking care of her body was the most important.
?
Xiangkang courtyard, the old matriarch Lin’s courtyard was in the center of the Lin residence, several repairs had been done but it was never changed, and that was because this courtyard was where the former empress used to live. The former empress’s boudoir still remained in Xianyang courtyard to this day, as well as various swings and ponds, with pavillions and kioks, the former empress had been dead for many years, but the place had never been neglected, and it still looked the same as when she was a young girl.
Lin Zixian supported the old lady as they made their way into the courtyard. She saw that the servants of the courtyard were all bowing their heads respectfully, and all the way, the old lady did not make a sound, but her face was much more relaxed.
Lin Zixian’s heart started to beat very fast all of a sudden, and the anticipation became substantial, and so ardent that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Very quickly, she helped the hobbling old lady to the front of the room.
That was when she saw, at the end of the corridor, a young man standing, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a straight and strong but flexible figure.
The young man was dressed in a deep black narrow-sleeved brocade robe with dragons motifs, his long black hair was tied with a jade crown, his well-defined hand was playing with a folding fan, and the aura surrounding his whole body had a carefree elegance.

The young crown prince nodded to the old matriarch Lin, gently and lowly saying: “Has grandmother been well?”
During this period of time, the old matriarch Lin also did not get to often see him, after all, he was busy with political affairs, he was in a high position of power, holding the empire in the palm of his hand. In fact, the burden of his shoulders was very heavy, so the always dignified old matriarch’s eyes started to turn red, but she still bowed down and saluted him: “This old one, from the Lin family, pay my respects to His Highness the crown prince.”
The man stepped forward to support the old matriarch steadily, and gently and softly said, “Between grandparents and grandchildren, there is no need to perform this superficial salute.”
The old matriarch Lin was helped up by the crown prince, while Lin Zixian at the back bit her lip and stepped forward, her heart burning with an ardent fire. With her slender and soft body, she bowed to the crown prince as she said, “This official’s daughter, Zixian, pay my respects to His Highness.”
The crown prince’s black boot appeared in Li Zixian’s line of sight, as well as a corner of his deep black robe, the man indifferently said, “You can get up.”
When she looked up again, the crown prince was no longer looking at her, his tall and slender figure was helping the old matriarch towards the pavilion.
