Although the old general is nominally the Emperor's royal father-in-law, visiting Your Majesty is by no means an easy task.
Even he must report his arrival in advance.
Not only him, but his Empress daughter must do the same.
Coming forward without reporting would be a highly disrespectful act.
If it weren't for the current Empress's good relationship with Your Majesty, she would also need to report in advance before each visit.
Of course, the foundation of this good relationship lies in Lin Yi's nurturing.
Without Lin Yi's tireless efforts, how could the relationship between the Empress and the Emperor be as it is now?
At this time, Lin Yi is an Imperial Courtier of the Emperor, so having Lin Yi report is undoubtedly the best and most convenient option.
If one were to use another junior eunuch to report, it would require passing the message through several layers, thus wasting time.
But it's different with Lin Yi. Reporting through him yields immediate results.
