"Of course! I inherited my looks from my mother, so I'm bound to be beautiful, hehe."
This is true. Yinmi was born very well. Although he was young, you could see that his features were very good. In particular, he inherited Mu Pin's fair skin, big eyes, and rosy lips. He looked just like a chubby baby in a New Year's painting, and he was very clever.
Looking at the cocky little boy, Lin Daiyu really liked this little brother. She didn't have a brother, but in her heart, she probably imagined that her little brother would be as clever and cute as Prince Yinmi.
Seeing the two chatting happily, Qingyin relaxed a bit, but was surprised to see a certain handsome prince who had been standing there blankly.
"Does the Fourteenth Prince have anything else to say? This humble subject must return to his seat."
"Oh, oh, I'll go with you." Facing the slender figure, Yinzhen subconsciously repeated.
The men's and women's seats were not far apart, just separated from each other. Qingyin didn't need to walk too far either, as her seat was in the middle of the southeast, while the princes' seats were at the very front.
As they approached their seats, Qingyin politely smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have arrived. Please, Fourteenth Prince, take your leave now."
"Uh... umm." In fact, Yinzhen didn't know what to say. With his tall stature, he could see the slender man in front of him clearly at a glance. Because of his closeness, the two figures were a little close. He could see the delicate and thick eyelashes, like a small fan covering the overly clear eyes, and the overly white skin. He felt that if he got any closer, he could feel the cool and soft touch.
Having fought in battles in his youth, Yinzhen deeply realized that the Master Lin in front of him was not the same kind of man as him. After all, no one who fought in battle had such a fair face and such delicate skin, as if he had never been exposed to the sun.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Qingyin was a little annoyed. He had been walking for a long time and wanted to sit down and rest, but if the Fourteenth Prince following behind didn't leave, he definitely wouldn't be able to have any peace.
Thinking about it, Qingyin felt a little annoyed by the tall figure in front of her and the eyes hidden by thick eyelashes.
Fortunately, Yinmi, who had been chatting happily with Lin Daiyu, ran over and roused Yinzhen from his reverie, causing him to leave.
Once Yinzhen left, only Qingyin's elegant figure remained. Looking at the incomparably beautiful Lady Lin, the onlookers didn't want to avoid her, but due to Qingyin's inherent aloofness and unapproachable aura, they didn't dare to muster the courage to disturb her.
So Qingyin finally had a quiet time to rest.
Of course, some people had a brilliant idea and took a different approach. After all, it was difficult to approach Lord Lin, but didn't Lord Lin have a daughter? Wouldn't that little girl be much easier to approach?
With this mindset, Lin Daiyu was surrounded by all sorts of unmarried young ladies and noblewomen.
"Oh, so this must be Lord Lin's daughter?"
"She is truly stunningly beautiful, even at a young age you can tell she's gorgeous."
"Sister Lin, you are so beautiful! I am Wang Qingya, the legitimate daughter of the Wang family of the Minister's Mansion. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just mention my name, and no one will have the guts!" The speaker was a beautiful woman in a purple dress. She boldly and enthusiastically took the little girl's arm, her face full of smiles.
Lin Daiyu blushed as she was hugged. It was the first time she had met such an overly familiar older sister. Although Chun'er was usually kind to her, there was a difference between them as mistress and servant, and they had never been this close before.
The air was filled with the fragrance of the beautiful older sister, and the young girl swallowed back the words she was about to say, feeling shy. However, she didn't dislike the feeling, Lin Daiyu thought to herself.
Although the young girl had her own ways of concealing her feelings, she was no match for these women who had risen from the ranks of the imperial palace. Each of them had sharp eyes and knew that Wang Qingya had won Lin Daiyu's favor.
A flicker of envy and jealousy arose in his eyes as he looked at Wang Qingya.
Damn it, that woman Wang Qingya is really quick to act. She's already won over Miss Lin in no time. Isn't that getting one step closer to Lord Lin?
No, they couldn't fall behind this woman. The young ladies gazed at Lord Lin, who seemed to shine in the crowd, with fascination, and their eyes were filled with renewed ambition and confidence.
In this way, Lin Daiyu was completely enveloped in the fragrance of women.
If it weren't for the arrival of Emperor Kangxi and the Crown Prince, Lin Daiyu would have wondered if she would have been suffocated by these beautiful older sisters.
Women are terrifying. After bowing and sitting down again, Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly complained to herself.
Qingyin was also watching her daughter's movements. Seeing the women surrounding her, Qingyin silently felt sorry for her daughter. Let her good daughter bear the burden of her father's intense love first.
The audience's gazes shifted, and Emperor Kangxi on the stage didn't miss it either. Observing the strange atmosphere at the banquet, he noticed Qingyin dressed in moon white, and he suddenly realized something.
No wonder, Lin Aiqing is dressed in white today, like a fairy in the moon, no wonder these people are acting so strangely.
With a shift in his gaze, Emperor Kangxi looked in the direction of Lin Daiyu with interest. "This must be Lin Aiqing's daughter, right? Hmm, she's quite pretty, bearing a resemblance to Lin Aiqing. It's a pity she didn't inherit all of Lin Aiqing's beauty. That's right, Lin Aiqing's appearance is truly a heavenly treasure; it's rare to inherit even a few points."
The Crown Prince, sitting to the side below Emperor Kangxi, glanced at his father's slightly upturned lips with his slightly raised phoenix eyes. It seemed that his father was in a good mood today. Indeed, he had a rare beauty by his side today.
With a flick of his eye, he caught sight of a white-clad man sitting alone, happily enjoying some snacks. A smile appeared in the prince's deep eyes.
