Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter - Chapter 1184

Chapter 1184: Chapter 1176: It’s Inappropriate to Use the Word “Timid” to Describe My Little Sister_1 Chapter 1184: Chapter 1176: It’s Inappropriate to Use the Word “Timid” to Describe My Little Sister_1 Su Ziqin responded gracefully with a smile, “Sister Wanqiu is ill, so I have been delivering memorials on her behalf these past two days.”

Lin Jinyun was shocked, “Sister He is sick?”

He Wanqiu is He Yao’s biological sister. She has been working in the palace for many years and has been in close contact with the Lin Clan, earning the trust of the Lin family members.

“It’s not a serious illness.”

Su Ziqin explained with a smile, “It might be because she caught a cold during the snowy night, and she has a slight fever. The Imperial Physician has already checked on her and said she’ll be fine after drinking a few doses of traditional Chinese medicine.”

Lin Jinyun felt slightly relieved, “Sister He has been working too hard, reviewing the memorials overnight.”

“With disaster striking frequently, there have been mountains of memorials submitted from various provinces, so Sister He and others have been constantly reviewing and sorting through them, hardly having a moment to rest.”

Having only helped in the Hall of Peaceful Harmony for a day, Su Ziqin had already deeply realized the challenges of being a Female Official in the palace.’
“I see.”

Lin Jinyun’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he pondered and then made a decision, “Since it’s snowing and the roads are slippery, you don’t have to make trips to the Duke of Zhen’s mansion from tomorrow. My two senior brothers and I will enter the palace to handle matters there.”

“It’s great if you can enter the palace.”

Su Ziqin’s eyes brightened with genuine anticipation, “I’ll go back now and inform the three commanders, so they can prepare suitable courtyards for you to rest in.”

“Ahem.”

Lin Jinyun paused his breathing and coughed awkwardly twice, “Sister Ziqin, we won’t be staying in the palace.”

“Whether you stay or not is up to you, but the preparations still need to be made.”

Su Ziqin’s long, thick eyelashes trembled a little, revealing a meaningful look, “Once you enter the palace and see how busy it is, you might not even have the leisure to go home, just like Sister Wanqiu.”

“Why is all the trivial government affairs piled up at the Imperial Court? What are the other officials doing?”

Lin Jinyun’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing a hint of dissatisfaction, “Aren’t they responsible for the matters within their own jurisdiction?”

“Them? Hmph.”

Su Ziqin scoffed disdainfully, “After the Emperor’s demise, the officials became unrestrained, like scattered sand. Lu Fu and Lu Gui formed their own cliques, flaunting their power and acting tyrannically for a period.”

“Now that Lu Fu is dead, the Crown Princess has been deposed, and the Prime Minister’s party is terrified, hiding in their homes, fearing that the executioner’s blade will fall on themselves. They have no mood to handle affairs.”

“A bunch of useless people.”

Lin Jinyun coldly rebuked, “No wonder my sister suggested holding the Imperial Examination earlier to replace them all in due course. It’s hard to stand their incompetence.”

Su Ziqin’s eyes brightened when he mentioned his sister, and she looked concerned, “The Coronation Ceremony is in three days. Is your sister ready? Will she be nervous and frightened?”

“Frightened?”

Lin Jinyun’s eyes flashed with a teasing smile, “These two words don’t suit my sister.”

“Hehe, that’s true.”

Su Ziqin couldn’t help but laugh upon understanding his insinuation, “This girl has always been daring since she was young. She raised tigers, snow leopards, and even rode on flying eagles. There’s nothing she wouldn’t dare to do.”

Lin Jinyun smiled, his eyebrows lightly raised, “Sister Ziqin, it’s cold outside. Come in for a cup of hot tea before you go.”

“No need.”

Su Ziqin declined politely with a smile, “I will return to the Imperial Court now and inform the three commanders about your good news of entering the palace tomorrow.”

“Let me see Sister Ziqin off.”

Lin Jinyun instinctively wanted to escort her out of the mansion.

“No need, you should go in and deal with the important government affairs.”

Su Ziqin smiled warmly as she turned back while talking and walked away quickly.

“Sister Ziqin, take care.”

Lin Jinyun, holding the memorials, watched her leave the courtyard. Only then did he lift the curtain and entered the study.
