The Emperor granted a marriage; who dares to defy it.
Lin Zizi wiped away her tears, fell silent for a moment, and said, "I've been muddleheaded for so many years, but now for Ningning's sake...Old Master, I want to go to the palace."
"You want to have an audience with the Emperor?"
"Yes."
"Zizi, I don't want you to go."
"Old Master, I don't want to go either, but for our daughter's sake, I must." Lin Zizi was gentle but firm, "I've missed out on our daughter's life for so many years, and we owe her too much."
Jiang Ruobai sighed deeply, "Alright."
The next day, Lin Zizi dressed neatly and wore the court attire of a first-class official's wife.
It was the first time in over a decade that she dressed so grandly.
She was bright, elegant, and highly poised.
It seemed as if her past as the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City had returned.
"Madam is truly beautiful," Jiang Ruobai sincerely praised.
"Wow, Mother looks so beautiful."
