Lin Wan said she now wants to slap these two idiots to death, and even more so the Queen, this big monster. Well, in the morning, looking at your smiling face, being kind and gentle, treating me with tolerance and not making things difficult for me, I'm not stupid enough to think you're a truly magnanimous person, but rather that you, like Rong Fei and the others, have been ignoring me. Who would have thought that you actually had me in mind!
You spend all day managing the three palaces and six courtyards, yet you can still spare time to lavish attention on this little ant like me. You truly are a labor model who fears neither hardship nor exhaustion.
Alas, alas. No wonder the queen could sit firmly on her throne despite being surrounded by strong enemies, even when she grew old and faded, and even when the birth of the crown prince never defeated her. Just from this small matter alone, one can see the other person's means, yet I still naively thought that they lived a painful life? Alright, let me first take a look at how painful my own road will be in the future.
Jiaguiren and Wang Chengyi turned around, flipping their sleeves and rolling their eyes as they left. Lin Yan ordered someone to throw the three boxes of things into a remote corner, so she wouldn't see them again.
In the following days, Lin Wan did nothing but stay in her own palace and didn't go out except for morning court.
Outside was still bustling, Bailiangjun had been attending to her duties for three days in a row, and the rumors were getting more and more intense.
Lin Wan couldn't help but find it a bit laughable, thinking that this Bai Liangyi's brain wasn't very useful, and yet she had managed to charm her way into favor for two whole months. It was already the limit, how could she possibly go further? Unexpectedly, she turned out to be quite resilient, and in just three days, she even surpassed Xiang Fei.
Was someone secretly helping her?
On the fourth day, Bai Xiuzi finally stopped. The eunuch in front of the emperor came to Jingyue Pavilion to deliver an edict, summoning Lin Xiaozhu to serve the emperor at night.
Lin Yan sat quietly in front of the dressing table, her face expressionless.
She originally didn't want to start a war too early, when she had no status and no power, the situation was very unfavorable. But since the empress dowager wouldn't allow it, she couldn't avoid it no matter how hard she tried.
Now there's no other way. The only solution is to climb up quickly, accumulate the greatest strength in the shortest time, and when the ranking is high and the imperial favor is strong, it will be difficult for those people to plot against oneself.
Alright, you women of the three palaces and six courtyards, none of you are willing to let me off, huh? Empress, are you using me as a scapegoat to torment the new consorts to death? Ha! This young lady won't start a fight, but you all really think I'm easy to bully, don't you?
We'll see about that!
The soft voice of the first snow that was quietly falling behind her asked: "I wonder what kind of hairstyle you want to comb, is it a high bun or a lily hairstyle?"
Generally, concubines like to dress up and look charming when attending the emperor at night. Lin Yu thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "Let's just do a simple bun, scatter most of the hair on your shoulders. As for the hairpin, I think the green plum blossoms outside haven't all withered yet, ask Chunyun to pick one over."
The first snow heard her eyes lit up, no longer asked much, and immediately tied up her hair according to Lin Yuen's words.
Apart from her hair, Lin Yuanyan kept everything simple. On her lips, she used a honey-colored fragrance instead of rouge, and applied a light dusting of powder on her cheeks. Finally, she wafted some faint scent from the goose-down quilt, leaving an alluring aroma that was almost imperceptible. In the end, Lin Yuanyan changed into her nightclothes, and Chuxue helped her put on a large cloak over her outer garments.
Lin Yan walked out of the Mirror Moon Pavilion with a look of girlish shyness and simplicity on her face, but in her heart was an unyielding determination. Charge! Charge! Time to take down the big BOSS and get that divine equipment!

Along the way, Feng Luan Chun'en sat in the carriage and went forward. In the quiet midnight, the silver bells hanging from the four corners of the sedan chair rang out with a clear sound. This kind of sound would startle the women in the six palaces with envy every night. When they arrived at Jianzhang Palace, there were already female officials waiting on the side. They came forward to support Lin Yuan down from the carriage and bowed their heads, saying: "The Emperor is still summoning his ministers in the front hall, please let the young master go inside first and wait."
Lin Wan nodded slightly and followed the female official in without saying a word.
The dragon bed was a bright yellow color, with the golden dragon canopy hanging high above, embroidered with gourd patterns symbolizing hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren. According to the rules of the Jianzhang Palace Dragon Temple, Lin Wan sat in one corner of the bed, her light pink nightgown sleeves folded over her knees, her body sitting upright, not daring to move freely.
Three feet away, a purple bronze gilded cauldron had thin smoke drifting out of its mouth. Lin Wan was so bored that she could only stare at it, and after an entire hour, there was still no sign of the Emperor. Was he busy with state affairs on the other side? Sigh.
Finally, there was a creaking sound, and the temple door slowly slid open. Lin Yuankneel down to pay her respects.
