The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 99 - Birthday Arrangement

"The two of them are a perfect match. One has difficulty getting pregnant, and the other is good at killing pregnant women. Great, it's really a good show."

As Lan Fei thought about the situation, a sense of self-satisfaction crept into her expression. Zhuiyun, standing beside her, shared the same approving look.

While they let the matter pass, over at Yaotai Pavilion, Lin Guifei flew into a rage!

"Hmph! I knew that wretched Lin Wanyi wasn't a simple character. She's managed to coax His Majesty into allowing the Second Prince to be raised at Huifang Courtyard. What impressive skills!"

"Your Highness, please calm down."

Both Jiang Heqing and Qin He, standing nearby, dared not offer any more words of comfort. They were afraid that if they stepped forward and displeased the noble consort, they would end up being punished.

Lin Guifei raged for a long time, smashing several porcelain pieces, before finally calming down.

This time, the eastern branch of the Lin family had gained considerable face. Lin Xingzhi had joined the Emperor's Imperial Guard, Lin Wanyi had been promoted to Changzai, and now the Second Prince was being raised in Huifang Courtyard.

What an "honor" for their entire household!

"Go and send word of all these happenings to Grandmother. Let her suppress the arrogance of the main family. We don't want people thinking that the eastern branch of the Lin family can stand on equal footing with the western branch!"

In Lin Guifei's eyes, the eastern branch of the family had no right to compare themselves to her western branch. While they may be the legitimate sons and daughters of the first wife, how could an ordinary woman be spoken of in the same breath as her grandmother, a noble lady?

The Lin family's current glory was undoubtedly due to her grandmother and the support of the Zhanwang Mansion. The main family had benefited greatly from their influence, yet they still sought more from her side?

Jiang Heqing and Qin He exchanged glances before nodding in agreement and withdrawing.

Afterward, Qin He brought out a plate of fresh fruit and finally spoke.

"Your Highness, rest easy. This servant believes all you need to do is sit back and watch the show."

"Oh? How so?"

"Just think, Lan Fei has lost a prince for no apparent reason. Do you think she will let Lin Changzai off so easily? Moreover, with her being pregnant, if she happens to get into a conflict with Lin Changzai, wouldn't that..."

Qin He left the sentence unfinished, but Lin Guifei understood. A gleeful malice flashed in her eyes, and her smile grew wider.

"Indeed."

She then gave orders to Qin He.

"The Second Prince's birthday is coming up, isn't it? In the past, his health was poor, so the celebrations were kept simple. But this year, I think we need to bring some joy to the occasion! After all, he did just lose a trusted wet nurse, didn't he?"

"Your Highness is absolutely right. If we are to host a grand celebration, the entire palace will have to be invited. Even His Majesty has moved to the Qiqing Hall. I recall there is a small waterside pavilion by the Lotus Lake. It's not large, but it could comfortably seat around ten people."

"Good, in that case, notify the Department of Internal Affairs to begin preparations."

Lin Guifei cast a shrewd glance at Qin He, her raised eyebrows filled with calculation.
