How likely was it that a royal family member, especially one who had survived succession struggles, could be so lovestruck?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, An Ning suspected whether this so-called \"coincidental encounter\" was truly accidental or deliberately arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps their family background had already been thoroughly investigated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, son, what does this princess look like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her usually composed son grow uncharacteristically flustered, An Ning propped her chin with amusement, clearly enjoying the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jinghuai nearly choked on his tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially seeing his mother's teasing expression, the young scholar could only tilt his head back in speechless exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his earlier worries seemed pointless now - he'd been concerned that the proud princess might bully his delicate mother when he wasn't around, given her noble status and strong personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, though his mother was intelligent and capable, she'd always been physically fragile and unused to hardship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head helplessly, the troubled young man paced away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after his stone-blue robe disappeared from view did An Ning finally burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could easily guess her son's thoughts, though she found it equally puzzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for pretending to be sickly during her Xie family days, this body of hers rarely fell ill. Yet inexplicably, everyone from her father-in-law to her own son believed her to be extremely delicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire household viewed her through some sort of \"fragile Lin Daiyu\" lens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it simply because she preferred a leisurely lifestyle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside her consciousness, the system nearly facepalmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously, host? \"Leisurely\" doesn't begin to cover it - you practically demand to be hand-fed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Lin family remained somewhat perplexed about the arranged marriage, once the imperial decree was issued, there could be no turning back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ning only had the system investigate the princess - decent looks, good health, and no violent temper - before washing her hands of the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike princesses who received their own estates, as a titled royal family member, Princess Zhaohua still required appropriately grand accommodations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the originally modest two-courtyard Lin residence expanded by more than double. Fortunately, Lin Xiuyuan had wisely purchased the adjacent property years ago, anticipating future needs when Ah Jing married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they simply needed to renovate and connect the two compounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, the Lin family could have afforded larger premises earlier. But Old Master Lin understood their humble origins - in a capital swarming with nobility, excessive display invited trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with his grandson serving in the prestigious Hanlin Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now circumstances differed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, as the future princess's mother-in-law, An Ning received numerous invitations. During several meetings with Princess Ning, the woman appeared dignified and gentle, showing no contempt toward her rural-born counterpart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, after meeting Madam Lin in person, Princess Ning concealed her astonishment poorly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning home, she couldn't help telling her daughter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah Ran, you were right - your future mother-in-law is extraordinary. That innate grace about her...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Ning shook her head. \"No merchant's wife should carry herself like that. Standing beside me, she didn't seem the least bit inferior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially that indescribable elegance in her every movement, effortlessly commanding attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She possessed more natural nobility than most cultured gentlewomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have imagined such refinement emerging from rural obscurity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How else could she have raised the current Tanhua scholar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike her mother's bewilderment, the crimson-robed maiden responded with confident ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, as An Ning had guessed, this marriage was no accident. During the victory parade, Zhaohua had been instantly smitten by the strikingly handsome Tanhua scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Call it love at first sight - she'd immediately investigated his background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crucially checking for any childhood sweethearts or cousin attachments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having witnessed her elder sister's mistakes, she wasn't about to repeat them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The investigation results, however, shocked even Zhaohua herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That brilliant Tanhua scholar, whom even the emperor frequently kept by his side, had been educated solely by a housebound woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, if not for her most trusted agents swearing to its truth, she'd never have believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What phenomenal natural talent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If initially interested in the scholar, now she found Madam Lin far more fascinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How extraordinarily intelligent must one be to homeschool a Tanhua scholar without any formal education?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But royals prioritize interests. What truly decided Zhaohua was the palace farce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to her father, she'd interacted often with her imperial uncle since childhood. Appreciating beauty was human nature - even emperors weren't exempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire Shangguan family, from father to herself to the emperor, shared this aesthetic appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet rarely did anyone earn such imperial favor that over a transparent scheme, her uncle not only suppressed rumors but punished both princesses for \"tarnishing his favorite official's reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she didn't know - though the aunts eventually got their marriages, what worthless families they wed! Weak internally, already marked on her uncle's grudge list for future retribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her imperial uncle cherished favorites dearly and despised enemies utterly. Once in his good graces, one's future was assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such pleasing looks, the scholar would remain favored for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her mother still lamenting the family's humble origins, the maiden called Ah Ran retorted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, given my status, any marriage would be beneath me. Why not choose someone handsome and clever?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least I won't end up like eldest sister - useless husband, dull-witted nephew, and not even good looks to show for it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",968,"2026-06-05T19:58:17.352Z",1,"novelbin.me","fac0201a8246578f90eadb017b9a5926203aa78ad1cd03516235c7afb801af09","the-cannon-fodder-in-quick-transmigration-refuse-chapter-77","the-cannon-fodder-in-quick-transmigration-refuse-chapter-75",633,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-cannon-fodder-in-quick-transmigration-refuse-cover.jpg"]
