The Queen Mother's expression did not change much.
On the contrary, Concubine Yi was filled with fear when she saw the two Lin sisters standing on the left and right sides of the emperor.
Fortunately, my grandfather, the Marquis of the Northwest, is back, otherwise the Lin Xiangfu family would really be the only one in the harem.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but wink at Mu Changzai and Lady Jinxiu behind me.
So both of them were dressed grandly and took half a step forward.
Not more than the Queen Mother, but almost on par with Concubine Yi.
Qian GuiRen, on the other hand, is as low-key and smooth as ever, just like her title.
This kind of non-competition and non-grabbing made a good impression in the eyes of the emperor.
"My son wishes his mother well. It's been a hard journey."
"I have seen the Queen Mother, please be kind to her."
"Well, let's all get up."
A quick calculation showed that Lin Wanyi had not seen the Queen Mother, or the "sisters" in the harem for half a year.
She was still a noble concubine when she was confined in April, but now she is Concubine Yi Ning who has accomplished the feat of giving birth to twins.
Therefore, except for Concubine Yi, everyone has to bow.
"I have met the emperor, I have met Concubine Lin, I have met Concubine Yining."
Lin Wanyi bowed to Concubine Yi alone again.
This time she no longer called Yi Fei distantly, but added "sister" at the end.
When Concubine Yi heard this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
I think she deceived them all because of her humble temperament.
Using a concubine or even a noble Chu to pave the way for his own future is a really good trick.
So I spoke with some disdain.
"Concubine Yining, you're welcome. Your status is above mine now, so I don't dare to act like a sister anymore."
When he came back, he treated Lin Wanyi with both guns and sticks. Naturally, the emperor was not happy.
But Lin Wanyi still looked like she was having a feast with a smile.
"Sister Yi Fei is joking. You have been in the palace longer than me, and you have given birth to a third prince. In terms of family background, character, ability, and integrity, you are above my sister, so I should treat you as my sister."
Able to bend and stretch, this is how Lin Wanyi lived in the past.
She was not arrogant because of her promotion. Concubine Yi could barely tolerate this.
So he smiled and didn't reply.
On the other hand, Concubine Lin, who had always been at odds with her, had not spoken out since they met.
Concubine Yi couldn't adapt to being so humble, obedient and humble.
So he looked at Concubine Lin provocatively, but saw that her eyes had softened a lot.
After leaving the palace, my temperament changed.
Is it possible that the Taishan Palace has raised people to such an extent that domineering people can become docile?
This is what Concubine Yi thought in her heart.
"Go back first. The Ai family has a severe headache, so they won't eat the palace banquet. After a few days of rest, they will just eat the 100-day wine for the two children."
The two children are the fifth prince and the third princess born to Lin Wanyi.
The Queen Mother has already spoken, so it is natural for others not to say much.
Instead, it was the emperor who specifically said something to Concubine Yi.
"There have been a lot of troubles in the palace these days, and you have handled them well. Thank you for your hard work."
Concubine Yi thought that the first thing she wanted to do when she returned to the palace was to give up power to Concubine Lin, but she didn't expect that the emperor came like this.
Is this a sign that she can continue to run the palace?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. I am not worthy of being a concubine. This time when I went to the palace, many sisters had accidents. Now there are only three of them brought back. Alas, in the final analysis, I am a concubine who has no control over her."
Concubine Yi took retreat as an advance and once again tested the emperor's mind.
"Okay, I already know the cause of the matter. If it has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself, otherwise there will be a lot of things in the harem. Wouldn't it be difficult for you to deal with it?"
This time, it was a reassurance for Concubine Yi.
Regardless of whether the Lin sisters' status is really higher than hers, they have high positions but no real power, and they are useless in the harem.
So he thanked the emperor sincerely.
Then he stood up and looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.
Lin Wanyi was calm. She didn't want to get involved in the palace affairs anyway.
Instead, it was Concubine Lin. Concubine Yi thought she would show dissatisfaction, but she saw that she was still smiling lightly.
Concubine Yi felt a little more doubtful.
The emperor still had political affairs, so he naturally returned to Qian'an Palace.
The remaining concubines also went back to their palaces after pretending to greet each other.
Lin Wanyi turned around and walked a few steps when she saw someone chasing after her.
Listening to that voice, one knew that it was Mu Changzai who had been in the same palace as her.
She dressed up very carefully today, and she was already younger when she first entered the palace, but now she looks even more lovely.
It's a pity that such a beautiful flower has to be kept in the palace with no hope.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanyi also felt a little regretful.
"elder sister."
Lin Wanyi stopped when she heard this.
"My concubine made a mistake and thought she was a sister from the past. Now it's time to call you Concubine Yi Ning."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a title. Mu Changzai can call him whatever he likes."
From the moment she entered the palace, Lin Wanyi never thought about becoming friends or sisters with any of the concubines in the palace.
So she won't take the initiative to provoke or follow anyone.
Getting to where I am today is entirely dependent on luck and the emperor's love.
But even if she said this now, no one would reply.
For example, Mu Changzai in front of him had an expression of envy.
"My sister, these past few days, have been thinking about the days when I was with my sister in the Yihua Palace. How carefree I was at that time, and I could still eat the noodles made by Miss Chunqi next to my sister. I still remember the taste. Woolen cloth."
"Mu Changzai likes to eat, so I'll ask Chunqi to make a bowl later and send it to Yaoyue Palace."
Lin Wanyi didn't need to think too deeply, she already knew the reason why Mu Changzai got close to her.
She just wanted to see if there would be a chance to return to Yihua Palace and use her favor to gain the emperor's attention.
It was so before and it is so now.
But unfortunately, she is not Concubine Ying.
She doesn't need anyone to help her maintain her favor, nor does she need anyone to work with her to scheme against others.
Lin Wanyi has not forgotten Concubine Ying's little thoughts about her.
Mu Chang had been following her for so long, and he didn't know how it was possible to say anything.
Therefore, Lin Wan intended to pity others, but had no intention of saving all sentient beings.
What Mu Chang will be like in the future is her own business.
Since Yihua Palace now belongs to her, except for the fourth prince, she does not intend to let any other outsiders enter.
Mu Changzai is not blind, Lin Wanyi's seemingly kind but actually cold meaning is obvious.
The words came to her lips, but she still couldn't say them out.
So he smiled and said.
"Why bother Miss Chunqi to make a trip? I can just ask Miss Chunqi to make a bowl when I come to see my sister another day."
"In that case, just follow your sister's wishes. If nothing happens, I will go back first."
