Chapter Sixteen: The Spearhead

  Lin Yandan smiled faintly and looked at Wang Chengyi: "The emperor's mind is not something that we can guess."

  With just one sentence, Wang Chengyi's face quickly changed color, and he secretly regretted his mistake.

  The nobleman cast a disgusted glance at her, what a brainless thing, can't even handle a small matter! No choice, the next words had to be said by himself.

  She was thinking about how to say it in order to get Lin Yuan settled down.

  At this time, a small eunuch named Xiao Guizi came in from the inner courtyard of Jingyue Pavilion and hastily reported: "Young Master, the Grand Eunuch of Changxin Palace has arrived!"

  The Empress? How did she remember this small Mirror Moon Pavilion of hers? Lin Yu was somewhat surprised in her heart.

  The three of them stopped talking and looked towards the eunuch Zhang, who had come from the Longxing Palace. Eunuch Zhang didn't delay, and directly ordered people to bring over three large boxes filled with silk, jade, and precious stones in front of Lin Yu, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Her Majesty the Empress congratulates Young Mistress Lin on her promotion by exception!!!"

  Lin Yuan bowed her head in gratitude, but her face didn't look good.

  Today, Shang Gong Bureau and Shang Fu Bureau have already sent enough sets of clothes, so Lin Wan won't be short of clothes for the time being. These three big boxes of things look very beautiful, expensive, and high-end, but Lin Wan thinks they are too eye-catching.

  Good heavens! I, a humble lady-in-waiting of low birth and status, have been serving in obscurity. The only thing that stands out is the fact that I've been "promoted beyond my station". Every morning, I lower my head and eyes, enduring humiliation and hardship just to keep a low profile. But now, Your Majesty, you've gone and made a scene, drawing attention from the entire palace!

  Lin Yan's face twitched, not wanting to look at the things in the box again. The two people opposite her, Jia Gui and Wang Chengyi, couldn't sit still, and simultaneously squeezed their heads next to the box. Jia Gui rudely stretched out his hand to shake open a black gold cloud-embroidered shirt, his face gradually darkening, finally coldly saying: "Tsk tsk, look at this Suzhou cloud brocade fabric, it's even smoother than water... The palace only received a few bolts and they were all given to the Empress Dowager, the Queen, and Consort Sheng... Lin Langren has such a big face..."

  Jiaguiren was resentful in his heart, originally thinking that defeating Bailiangdi would be a great achievement, but he didn't expect to overlook Linshi! Linshi is indeed unremarkable, but she forgot that she was promoted beyond her rank!

  This is a big deal, it's the first time for the new empress!

  Jiā guì rén de yǎn jīng gū lū gū lū dì zhuàn, kě bù néng hé zhè Lín shì jié méng le. Dào tóu lái yā sǐ le Bái shì bǎ Lín shì pěng shàng qù, nà xī bú shì gèng zuò? Shuō bù zhǔn zì jǐ zuì gāi duì fù de rén bú shì Bái shì……

  "Who says it's not!" Wang Chengyi thought she was very good at "improvising". She rolled her eyes and echoed in a pretentious tone: "Sister Jia, we sisters came to find Lin Liangren with the best of intentions, but he's got the emperor's favor and the empress dowager's appreciation. How can we possibly match up to him? The imperial edict said that he was 'promoted beyond his rank', which is why he gets to enjoy luxurious fabrics. We're just pitiful people who are lucky if we get a glance from him!"

  Lin Yan's face twitched even harder. Weren't they calling each other sisters just now? What's going on, what's going on?

  The sheep's skin has been pulled down, right? Can't pretend anymore, right?

  Lin Yan listened to their unscrupulous teasing, and had the urge to rub an iron brush on the smooth floor... no, not in her heart. Jia Gui Ren and Wang Cheng Yi, two rascals, came to her door to instigate her to deal with Bai Liang Di. Now, three large boxes of things suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and their hatred value easily shifted from Bai Liang Di to herself.
