Jiang Huiji curled her lips and looked down at Lin Yuen's bowed figure, secretly pleased for a long time before lightly saying "you don't have to be polite".

  She took a step forward, closing in on Lin Wan, and said coldly: "Lin beauty is polite in front of people, but why do you lose your manners behind their backs? I heard that the Western envoy presented precious spices and treasures, which most of the palace concubines did not receive. Lin beauty received them, yet she can still enjoy them with a clear conscience?"

  Jiang Huaji was extremely displeased today. Yesterday, she went to the Jianzhang Palace to deliver pastries and inadvertently saw that one lantern made of Liuli glass, when she asked the emperor for it, she was bluntly rejected.

  She lamented her own lack of favor, thinking: Such a precious object can only be possessed by women like Xiang Fei and Yun Guibin who are favored by the emperor.

  But she never thought that this lamp would eventually fall into the hands of Lin Mei.

  Although I'm not doing well, it's not up to someone like Lin to surpass me! Jiang Huiji is this kind of person, usually bullied by others, in order to vent, she has to bully those who are lower than herself!

  Jiang Huiji was indulging in the thrill of venting, but she didn't know that all the concubines around her were laughing so hard they couldn't close their mouths. It's rare to see someone as brainless as you in the palace, those are the emperor's rewards, and you can actually bring it up to the rules? The sophistry is too far-fetched.

  Lin Yan sneered in her heart, so the problem lies with the lamp head.

  All this fuss is just for grabbing one thing! How boring is that?

  However, Lin Wan's expression turned into a guilty one, and she said: "Is the young master referring to that crystal incense burner? The concubine is still young and doesn't understand the rules, please forgive her. But the crystal lamp is the concubine's beloved treasure, so she dares to keep it for herself and will offer all the valuable treasures in her palace to the young master as an apology, is that alright?"

  Jiang Huiji listened to Lin Yuen's cautious tone and initially felt quite pleased, but the more she listened, the more she felt that something was off.

  Offer all the valuable treasures in the palace to oneself... Does this sound like oneself is a bandit?

  If he says he doesn't want anything from Lin's mansion, wouldn't that be the end of it?

  She herself couldn't be fooled by Lin Wan! She gritted her teeth, and her tone became even more severe: "Lin Shi! Do you think your clever words can intimidate me? Since you've admitted your mistake, according to the rules of propriety, you should be punished with kneeling and slapping yourself in the mouth..."

  At this moment, the empress was seen being supported by palace maids as she walked out of the rear hall.

  Everyone hastened to stand up and pay their respects to the empress, Jiang Huaiji seeing this scene, could not help but stop speaking.

  Lin Yanfei quickly glanced up and found Bai Xiuzhu following behind the Empress.

  Just now, Bai Shi actually entered the rear palace to accompany the Empress for a meal?

  Bai Xiuyi's face showed a hint of pride, she walked back to her own seat and bowed with the others. More than half of the concubines at this time had their eyes fixed on Jiang Huiji and Lin Yuan, and did not notice her.

  The empress called out to dispense with the formalities, and her phoenix eyes swiftly swept over Jiang Huiji and Lin Yu, asking faintly: "What's going on that it's so noisy? This palace heard it all the way in the rear hall."

  Lin Yu Xian knew the dignity of the empress, and upon hearing the word "noisy", she immediately knelt down in silence. This was etiquette; since it displeased the empress, she had to kneel regardless of whether she was wrong or not.

  Jiang Huaji felt wronged and stepped forward to salute and explain: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it was Lin Shi who broke the rules..."

  However, her words were cut off by the empress's raised hand. The senior palace maid, Ruan Qiu, stepped forward and reported indifferently: "Reporting to Your Majesty, just now it was Jiang Xiaozhu scolding Lin Xiaozhu, with a stern tone, which caused a disturbance that reached the rear palace."

  Jiang Huaji was suddenly startled and woke up - this is in Changxin Palace! Changxin Palace does not tolerate arrogance, no matter what happened, she cannot make a loud noise!

  She actually forgot about this!
