Concubine Jiang: "..."
There is really no way to answer this question. After all, no one in the entire Dayan Dynasty can compare with King Jing's face.
"How did Lin Zhiyao offend you that you humiliated her like this?" Concubine Jiang was still a little confused. If she didn't want to enter the Prince's Mansion, why would she target Lin Zhiyao?
After all, Lin Zhiyao's status in the entire Prince's Mansion is actually very high. Even if the Prince doesn't like her, he will tolerate her.
"Perhaps it's because even in exile, their family is still abusing their power, making the already impoverished people of the Northern Territory even more miserable, even like they're living in hell." Shan Yue's eyes were filled with disgust. "Perhaps it's because Lin Zhiyao came to my door and yelled at me. Either of these things won't make me let her go."
Concubine Jiang was silent for a while. "I won't help you. Your Highness doesn't want a quarrel in the mansion. But if she goes too far, I will definitely not ignore it."
Shanyue nodded and said that was enough. After all, Concubine Jiang could only rely on Lu Yanzhou in the Prince's Mansion, and it was not easy for her.
After two days, there was still no movement from Lin Zhiyao. Ling'er became anxious, "Master, why is there still no movement from Lin Zhiyao?"
After all, it was in the Prince's Mansion, Ling'er was not so well-informed, and she was also afraid of causing the Prince's dissatisfaction.
"She has sent out five secret letters. Don't worry. She should be making some plans. After all, life in the mansion is not easy and she can't stand it." Shanyue touched the dog who had his head on her legs.
Ling'er brought a plate of cakes to Shanyue, tested them for poison, and placed them next to her. "Are you saying she wants to set up a trap at the concubine's flower viewing party?"
"That's a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone." Shanyue glanced at the cakes with a lack of interest. "Lin Zhiyao won't be satisfied with her current status as 'Liang Di'."
"Ling'er is looking forward to that day." Ling'er rubbed her hands excitedly.
As Ling'er expected, the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Concubine Jiang arrived as scheduled.
This was a means for the Prince's Mansion to consolidate its followers. After all, if the Prince ascended the throne, the women in the inner house would be his future concubines, and the family's honor depended on them.
Since Lin Zhiyao wants to cause trouble at the flower viewing banquet, Shanyue will make things out of control.
She deliberately waited until the flower viewing party had already begun before showing up.
"Hey, whose lady is this? Why are you so late?" A sarcastic voice interrupted the conversation.
Shanyue looked up at her. This person was the daughter of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. Because her family was not prominent, she had always followed behind Lin Zhiyao.
She was just a tool being used, Shanyue was too lazy to pay any attention to her. Ling'er glanced at her and lightly patted the Yulin Guard token on her body.
The girl immediately felt a little scared. Her father did not hold a high official position and could not afford to offend the Yulin Guards.
Lin Zhiyao turned her head and glared at her, useless thing!
"Miss Shanyue is weak, so it's normal that she came a little late." Concubine Jiang, who was sitting in the first seat, smiled and let Shanyue do as she pleased.
Shan Yue smiled at her, then she turned her eyes and glanced at Lin Zhiyao who was sitting next to Concubine Jiang. "Concubine, you are kind-hearted. Shan Yue is very grateful. But people should not be too kind, otherwise some people who are just concubines will dare to treat you as their equal."
Lin Zhiyao frowned, "You are just a girl that the prince brought back from outside. What? You want to take charge of the affairs of the palace?"
"It's normal to speak out when you see injustice." Shanyue shrugged, "After all, I'm just a woman of the underworld."
Not everyone at the scene was trying to please Lin Zhiyao. Many young ladies from aristocratic families also looked down on her. After all, it was really shameless for the daughter of an exiled criminal to stay in the Prince's Mansion by some unknown means.
A girl dressed very simply even clapped her hands. "I think Miss Shanyue is right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always valued etiquette. How can there be no distinction between high and low in the palace?"
Lin Zhiyao had been the center of attention for a long time, and this was the first time she appeared in front of everyone since the decline of the Lin family. She did not expect these people to be so cold and indifferent.
Have they forgotten how they tried to curry favor with her back then?
The ladies at the banquet found Lin Zhiyao's condemning look quite funny and covered their faces with handkerchiefs and laughed softly.
"You guys!--" Lin Zhiyao slapped the handle of the chair, stood up and was about to get angry, but suddenly she didn't know what she saw, she was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath and sat down again.
Shanyue followed her gaze and saw a group of maids and servants serving the ladies at the banquet.
It seems that the Queen Mother really ordered someone to come down, otherwise Lin Zhiyao would not be so obedient.
Concubine Jiang didn't expect Lin Zhiyao to give her face. A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she smiled slightly, "It's okay, from now on, Concubine Liang will share the housework with me."
Among those present, Concubine Jiang was the most senior and had the highest status among the women in the Prince's Mansion. Since she said so, the others could only shut up.
Since it was a flower-viewing banquet, Concubine Jiang said a few words at the beginning, enjoyed the singing and dancing for a while, and then led everyone to the garden in the Prince's Mansion to appreciate the flowers.
"Everyone, these flowers were specially raised for a long time by the gardener at the request of His Highness. Many of them were shipped from the south and are the most difficult to maintain." Concubine Jiang explained to everyone diligently.
"Your Highness is very fond of these flowers. He comes to see them every day when he has time."
Hearing what Concubine Jiang said, the girls present who had other thoughts blushed, as if they were all looking forward to meeting the prince and catching his eye.
Concubine Jiang's smile was just a little unnatural, but Lin Zhiyao was different. There were many women around the prince, including concubines, concubines, and maids. Now he wanted to bring in a new one?
"The flowers are still beautiful, but I'm afraid some people aren't interested in them." Lin Zhiyao snorted coldly, "I advise those people to just enjoy the flowers peacefully. If you have any evil thoughts, I will be the first one to catch you!"
"Liangyuan has been in a bad mood these past two days, so please don't take it to heart." Concubine Jiang comforted the women present.
Shanyue followed behind him and looked at the girls with different thoughts, and sighed softly. This was the sorrow of women in ancient times, fighting for a man, a fickle and cold-hearted man.
However, not everyone can give Concubine Jiang face again and again. A beautiful woman snorted coldly, "She is just a concubine, why is she pretending to be the master here?"
"you--"
At this moment, a shadow rushed out from behind the rockery behind Shanyue and covered her mouth and nose with lightning speed.
In that instant, Shan Yue was dragged into the shadows and disappeared into the crowd.
The shadow carried the unconscious Shanyue around the Prince's Mansion, and finally came to a room. He threw her on the bed and disappeared...
