The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 70 - Banquet in Shengjing Palace

Lin Wanyi and Lin Guifei are sisters of the same lineage, so Bai Pin's hatred naturally extends to Lin Wanyi as well. 

Thinking of this, she chuckled softly and said: "In the future, we will have to interact with Lin Changzai more often. At that time, don't find your elder sister troublesome."

Although her words sounded pleasant, the disdain and calculation in her eyes were clear to everyone.

Lin Wanyi did not meet her gaze but understood that this was a declaration of war.

She simply raised her head to look at Bai Pin, her gaze fearless.

As the two stared at each other, Lin Wanyi recognized her beauty for the first time.

It has been known since ancient times that Jiangnan produces beauties.

But most of them have a gentle and delicate temperament, like a small family jade.

However, this Bai Pin was born with natural charm, with an oval face, fox-like eyes, a small nose, and red lips with white teeth, looking like a nine-tailed fox fairy from a picture book.

Standing next to her, Lin Wanyi indeed seemed a bit inferior.

Mainly because Bai Pin's beauty was too flamboyant, easily overshadowing everyone around her.

While Lin Wanyi's beauty was subtle and needed to be appreciated slowly.

So in comparison, Bai Pin was naturally the most beautiful person in the palace, a fact even Lin Wanyi did not deny.

She smiled and said: "If Bai Pin appreciates me, I will naturally welcome you with open arms!"

Seeing the tension between the two, Yi Fei, who had enjoyed enough of the show, finally said slowly: "Look at me, I was so busy talking to Sister Bai that I forgot Lin Changzai was still squatting. Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lin Wanyi had been squatting for a long time and took a deep breath as she stood up.

Even though she was feeling dizzy, she did not want to show any weakness.

Yi Fei had no time to linger at the door with Lin Wanyi, otherwise, if word got out, people would say she was bullying the young.

After they all went inside, Lin Wanyi finally relaxed and quickly stepped back.

She shook her head vigorously and pressed her fingertips heavily on her temples to relieve the discomfort.

"My lady..."

Xia An's worry was evident in her eyes, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

She suddenly remembered a time back at the Xiang Mansion when her lady was punished to kneel in the courtyard of Ronghe Hall.

The sun had burned her cheeks red, and she was sweating profusely.

But even with a pale face, Lin Wanyi did not groan or beg for mercy.

She only stood up and left after kneeling for the required time, walking away with a straight back.

It was clear how strong-willed she was.

Since her lady insisted on attending this palace banquet, she must have her reasons, so there was no point in persuading her.

Instead, she took out a strong smelling ointment and let Lin Wanyi sniff it, which refreshed her a lot.

"Let's go in."

"Yes."

This was Lin Wanyi's first time seeing the Qin Xian Hall.
