Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 672: Chapter 670: Face to Face with the Hero in My Heart_1
 

Once the gate opened and the public’s enthusiasm surged, doing anything out of line could irritate the Empress’s nerves, and they feared it might bring about disaster.

“Little Qingluo, don’t blame Brother Zhan for being nosy. The people want to see you, so go out and let them admire and worship you.”

Luo Zhan’s eyes twinkled, and he smirked playfully, seizing the opportunity to instigate, “The Eldest Miss of the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion has unparalleled prestige, and even the arena has collapsed. Are you afraid of being seen by people?”

“I haven’t had a chance to verify with the Pavilion Master about the rumors spreading among the people that the Heaven-descended Goddess has arrived.”

Lin Qingluo helplessly touched her forehead, implying something: “Brother Zhan, what are you trying to plot? What rumors do you want to spread by holding an arena competition?”

“Ahem.”

Luo Zhan’s face flushed, and he coughed awkwardly twice.

As he coughed, a servant ran over from the direction of the main entrance and respectfully reported.

“Young Master, the Third Imperial Princess has sent someone to deliver an invitation and said she personally brought the reward for the Eldest Miss. She’s waiting outside the gate.”

“Hmph.”

Luo Zhan instantly guessed the Third Princess’s intention and scoffed disdainfully.

“Send a message to the Old Master and the Duke, Qingluo, and follow me to the gate to welcome the Third Princess.”

Lin Xiaoyang was not foolish either. He guessed the Third Princess’s intention too and rubbed his brow in a headache.

“Yes.”

Lin Qingluo and the reporting attendant stood up in unison from their chairs.

“Brother Xiaoyang, I’m leaving since you have matters to attend to. I’ll come to visit another day.”

Luo Zhan tactfully got up to leave, handed the box of cakes he specially brought for Lin Qingluo, and the two exchanged a tacit look.

“Shu Min, take the cakes back to the Fluttering Snow Residence.”

Lin Qingluo was going to the gate to greet the Third Princess, so she couldn’t carry the box of cakes, so she handed it to Wei Shumin, who was waiting outside the door as she left the study.

“Yes.”

Wei Shumin took the box and respectfully retreated two steps before turning around and leaving the Autumn Scene Garden.

“Is this girl Lord Wei’s daughter?”

Luo Zhan’s shrewd gaze lingered on Wei Shumin’s face for a second, asking subconsciously.

Lin Qingluo glanced at him sideways, with a smile, “The spies of the Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion are indeed pervasive, even managing to investigate Shu Min’s background so thoroughly.”

“Hehe.”

Luo Zhan, not realizing he had accidentally let something slip, touched his nose awkwardly and chuckled twice, brushing it off.

“Qingluo, let’s go. We can’t keep the Third Princess waiting for too long, or it might cause unnecessary controversy.”

Lin Xiaoyang was cautious and called to his daughter, striding out of the Autumn Scene Garden.

“Brother Zhan, take care. I won’t see you off.”

Lin Qingluo politely bid Luo Zhan farewell, and then jogged to catch up with her father.

Standing at the entrance of the Duke’s Mansion with their heads held high and chests out, the Third Princess faced the crowd of people praising the Lin clan’s military power and stirred passions without batting an eyelid.

Yangzhe revealed a harmless smile, perfectly demonstrating the royal family’s magnanimity and generosity.

The six thick steel gates were pushed open from the inside, and Lin Xiaoyang and his daughter stepped out, appearing before the eager crowd.

“It’s the Eldest Miss! She’s here!”

There was a moment of chaos outside the front door. The people who had been waiting for a long time saw the Eldest Miss in a green dress with an extraordinary demeanor appear within reach, and their eyes lit up involuntarily as they moved closer.

Someone courageously climbed the steps, wanting to meet their hero face to face.

“Eldest Miss, please accept my worship!”

“Eldest Miss, you are the goddess in our hearts.”
