Yusui Chang'an

The next day, Lin Jinyan and her sister dressed neatly, listened to the old lady's worried instructions, and got on the carriage and headed straight for the palace gate.

Seeing Lin Wanrong's nervousness, Lin Jinyan patted her cold hand and comforted her softly.

At the palace gate, Yue Mingzhu, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the Lin family's carriage, ordered the servants to stop it, and then leisurely got into the carriage and sat with the Lin sisters.

Knowing that Yue Mingzhu and the others were here to accompany them to see the Queen Mother, Lin Jinyan accepted Yue Mingzhu's kindness and thanked her generously:
"Thank you, sister. When Ronghua Hall opened, you supported me in front of Princess Jin. I know the money was awarded by the Queen Mother, but those words must have come from you."

After saying that, Lin Wanrong also followed suit to express her gratitude.

Yue Mingzhu smiled kindly:
"Why thank you? You treat me as your confidant, and we are honest and sincere. I should treat you like this. I am not worried about you going to the palace so often.

Wanrong is shy and rarely goes to the palace, so she will inevitably be afraid to see the Empress Dowager. I can also chat with her. Besides, I also want to go to Changshou Palace."

The two sisters thanked her again, and with the two of them chatting for a while, Lin Wanrong's nervousness was calmed down.

Knowing Lin Jinyan's thoughts and actions, and with Yue Mingzhu accompanying her, the empress dowager smiled a little, almost kindly.

In Lin Jinyan's impression, this was the most friendly time the Queen Mother had been to her.

She told the Empress Dowager some interesting stories about Ronghua Hall, and when the female students heard about the silver sent by the Empress Dowager, they all expressed their gratitude for the Empress Dowager's kindness.

The empress dowager gave some more books as a reward, half of which were rare copies. Lin Jinyan accepted them with great joy and said a lot of auspicious words, which made the empress dowager laugh out loud.

After coming out of Changshou Palace, Lin Wanrong breathed a sigh of relief and found that getting along with the royal family was not as difficult as she had imagined.

Yue Mingzhu was kept by the Queen Mother to talk, and the two sisters went to Fengqi Palace to pay a visit to the Queen.

Only then did she realize that not only were Consort Xian, Consort Ming, Consort Rou, and the little princess present, but half of the concubines in the harem were gathered here. After being called to take a seat after paying respects, Lin Jinyan also got to see Lady Yi, who was rumored to be in great favor.

If the Jade Concubine is compared to the plum blossom that defies the snow and frost, then the beautiful lady Yi in front of us is like the charming peach blossom.

Although the two look similar, their temperaments are very different.

Lin Jinyan glanced at him twice without leaving a trace, then retracted her gaze. She noticed that the gazes were cast on her since she entered the room, and turned her head to meet Princess Yunxi's.

Ever since Princess Yunxi and Hua Yuncheng made the engagement, she has been on a hunger strike behind closed doors, hoping to force the emperor to revoke his decision.

Although her father had always loved her very much, this time he was determined and had no intention of softening or compromising.

Princess Yunxi didn't really want to die, so she could only listen to the advice of Concubine Rou and Chu Chengyao and give up the idea of ​​resistance.

Although she did not go on a hunger strike again, Princess Yunxi was still depressed. She lost a lot of weight and lost some of her childish roundness. Her already spoiled face now showed a bit more resentment and a hint of sinister aura.

Seeing Lin Jinyan smiling at her, Princess Yunxi glared at her with resentment and anger, then looked away.

Although Concubine Xian still smiles at the Queen after her last falling out, the deep meaning between their words is quite sharp.

Although she knew what he meant, she couldn't find anything wrong with him. The annoyed queen's eyes became colder and colder.

A young, unfamiliar woman came forward and gently poured tea for the queen, and the queen finally suppressed her anger. (End of this chapter)
