During her recovery, Lin Wanyi found her days to be quite lazy.

She didn't need to wake up early to pay her respects, nor did she have to go out to eat; she felt like a "useless" person, kept on the couch by Chunqi and Xia'an.

If it weren't for the urgent tasks related to the Emperor, they probably would have treated Lin Wanyi like a pet pig.

The best part was simply eating and sleeping!

With such leisurely days, her nightgowns were naturally sewn quickly. Before the three-day deadline had even passed, Lin Wanyi had finished them.

When she unfolded her "unique" nightgown to admire it, she felt quite proud of her craftsmanship.

Xiao Luzi, who hadn't seen Lin Wanyi's embroidery skills in the palace, praised her lavishly.

"My lady's skills might even surpass those in charge of embroidery!"

Chunqi had seen more and wasn't as surprised as he was, but she couldn't deny her young lady's impressive needlework, so she chuckled and said, "My Lady, I've always struggled with the green plum on my handkerchief. Would you mind giving it a look?"

Upon hearing this, she looked expectantly at Lin Wanyi.

Since Lin Wanyi had nothing else to do at the moment, she called for it to be brought over.

It was just a handkerchief; Lin Wanyi had no trouble with it.

With just a few casual stitches, the green plum seemed to come alive, looking vivid and lifelike.

"It's alive! It's alive!"

Xiao Luzi's naive excitement made the three of them laugh.

While they were having fun in the left side hall, the back hall was as quiet as a grave.

Yue Jian and the others knelt on the ground, trembling in fear, worried that a single word might make them the target of their mistress's anger.

The ground in front of Chu Guiren was already littered with broken pieces, and the arm of Yue Bai, standing closest to her, had been splashed with hot tea, now red and swollen, but she dared not utter a word.

"Humph, she truly is a seductress. Relying on her looks to behave so arrogantly, does she think she can do as she pleases just because she's in the palace? Does she think everyone in the palace is a fool?"

Everyone knew exactly who Chu Guiren was cursing.

Although they were in the same palace, she had never directly confronted Lin Wanyi.

At first, she was disdainful; then she was suppressed by Yi Fei, and shortly after, Lin Guifei indirectly restricted her movements, causing her to miss her chances until today.

When she heard that Lin Wanyi was accompanying the Emperor, she could no longer sit still!

Why was it that she, who entered the palace later, could still receive the Emperor's favor? Ultimately, it was all because of that face and the powerful Lin family behind her.

Yet she pretended to be indifferent; that was what annoyed Chu Guiren the most.

So today, no matter what, she had to teach Lin Wanyi a lesson to make her understand her place!

With that thought, she stood up abruptly.

With a half-smile, she said, "Since entering the palace, I haven't greeted my two side palace sisters yet. The sun is nice today; I should pay them a visit."

Yue Jian didn't dare to stop her and merely exchanged a glance with Yue Bai, who nodded.

Then, she walked over to Chu Guiren and said softly, "Your Highness, Yue Bai's clothes are wet. If she accompanies you, it might not be appropriate. How about letting her go change while I and Yue Pei assists you to the left side hall?"
