Qin Xuelin took Qin's hand and smiled: "Forget it, I don't have time to argue with her. Sister Shufei came to visit His Majesty, right? What a coincidence, His Majesty mentioned Sister yesterday!"

Qin's eyebrows immediately lit up and she was overjoyed when she heard that.

Qin Xuelin turned sideways to look at Lu Yanluo again, frowned impatiently, and ordered the maid behind her, "Please ask Princess Ye to leave! Since there is nothing to do, why are you still standing here? Are you deliberately trying to bother me?"

Lu Yanluo looked indignant and did not even greet the two of them. She left angrily.

But no one noticed that the moment Lu Yanluo turned around, a smile jumped into her eyes.

Qin was fooled. She did not doubt Qin Xuelin's identity and motives at all. Moreover, after today, everyone in the palace would know about the discord between Concubine Hui and Princess Ye.

Qin Xuelin is indeed a smart person. Since entering the palace, she has not been in a hurry to take revenge, but knows how to take it step by step.

Looking at Lu Yanluo's departing back, Qin felt extremely happy. Qin Xuelin did what she had always dared not to do - drive Lu Yanluo out.

Qin took Qin Xuelin's hand and pretended to comfort her, "Sister, you don't have to bother with Lu Yanluo. She relies on the Night King's favor to bully people everywhere. She has always been so lawless."

Qin Xuelin snorted coldly: "She is so ignorant of respect and inferiority, I will make her suffer sooner or later! Well, let's not talk about this group. Sister, follow me to the palace to see His Majesty, while His Majesty is still asleep."

Qin smiled gratefully and followed Qin Xuelin into the inner hall.

When she came out again, Qin's face was full of rosy glow. She eagerly took Qin Xuelin's hand and greeted her: "I got a few rolls of good material a few days ago. The color is very suitable for your skin tone. Come with me to pick two batches and make summer dresses."

Qin now obeyed Concubine Xian's orders, and Concubine Xian reciprocated by providing Qin with all kinds of jewelry, fabrics and furs to choose from.

Qin Xuelin had been in the palace for many days, so how could she not understand? She felt extremely disgusted in her heart.

What was even more disgusting was that she already hated Qin, but at this moment she had to be patient and pretend to have a deep sisterly relationship with her.

Qin Xuelin listened to Qin's boasting and kept responding with a few words. Her eyes were dark and unclear, as if she was just talking about it. She said, "Today is really a disappointment. I got mad at the princess for no reason. Judging from the way she spoke just now, she is probably not a good person. No wonder my sister doesn't seem to like her very much."

To Qin, Lu Yanluo was a thorn in her side. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't like her? It's not that I don't like her. I wish she would never appear in front of me. She is always superior to others, as if others can never be as good as her. She is so hateful!"

Seeing this, Qin Xuelin pretended to be mysterious and took out a small bottle from her bosom, handed it to Qin, and said softly: "In this case, let's teach her a lesson. Sister has a laxative in her hand. Tomorrow is the lotus appreciation banquet. I heard that Concubine Xian wanted to take this opportunity to wash away the bad luck in the palace. She plans to hold a grand banquet, and all the relatives and ladies will be present."

Qin Xuelin's lips curled up with a malicious smile: "Let's see how Lu Yanluo, who took the laxative, makes a fool of herself in public."

Qin's eyes lit up. The more she listened, the more she felt that Qin Xuelin's method was feasible, but...

Qin was cautious and afraid of getting into trouble: "Why not just forget it? The Lotus Appreciation Banquet is hosted by Concubine Xian. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to explain to Concubine Xian. It would be bad if I get into trouble because of this."

Concubine Xian once mentioned that she had other plans for tomorrow's lotus viewing banquet. Chu Han has been crowned king, and the next step is the wedding. Concubine Xian wants to take this opportunity to choose a concubine for King Liang.

Qin Xuelin sneered in her heart. What a loyal dog! But she smiled calmly and took Qin's hand to seduce her: "Sister, why would you think so? Since I mentioned this matter, I will take the responsibility if something goes wrong. You can rest assured, sister."

"Besides, there will be a lot of people at the Lotus Appreciation Banquet tomorrow. Even if Lu Yanluo took a laxative, it's not a life-threatening matter. People will only suspect that she has an upset stomach. Who would have thought that it was you and I who did it? Imperial Concubine Xian has always disliked Princess Ye. If she knew that you and I had teamed up to embarrass Lu Yanluo, she would not only not punish us, but would be so happy!"

Watching Lu Yanluo make a fool of herself in public, and disgracing herself, just thinking about that scene made Qin extremely happy.

Qin was shaken. She really wanted to see Lu Yanluo suffer a setback. Moreover, if something went wrong, she could just blame everything on Concubine Hui.

Qin slowly reached out her hand, put away the laxative bottle, and looked at Qin Xuelin with a smile: "Then I would like to thank Concubine Hui for her grace."

In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of the Lotus Viewing Banquet. As Qin Xuelin said, this year's Lotus Viewing Banquet was much more grand than previous years.

The women were all dressed beautifully, and looked even prettier than the lotus flowers in the pond.

Lu Yanluo was wearing a light blue gauze dress, and she stood out in the crowd.

But at this moment, Lu Yanluo's heart was not in this lotus viewing banquet.

Yesterday, Qin Xuelin secretly stuffed a paper package into her hand, but she was in such a hurry to get home that she didn't have time to open it and see what was inside.

Just as Lu Yanluo was lost in thought, a sweet voice sounded beside her.

"Princess, why are you sitting here in a daze? Why aren't you enjoying the lotus and drinking with everyone else?"

Lu Yanluo nodded slightly to indicate: "My lady, Concubine Lao Shu, remember me. The scenery in the pond is just right. I am fascinated by it."

Concubine Shu smiled warmly and generously, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart: Who am I pretending to be so noble for?

"Speaking of which, please don't take yesterday's incident to heart. At that time, Noble Consort Hui was present, and I couldn't speak for you. After all, she is a noble concubine, and I am just a concubine, and my words don't carry much weight."

Lu Yanluo felt strange in her heart. Did Qin take the wrong medicine? She actually came to apologize.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. I understand that Your Majesty is also helpless."

Qin was relieved when she heard this, and smiled: "It's good that you think so, Princess, but I still want to toast you a glass of wine, just as an apology to you."

As she spoke, Qin took the wine jug from the maid behind her and filled it for Lu Yanluo herself: "Princess, please."

Lu Yanluo looked at the glass of wine in front of her and understood what was going on. No wonder Concubine Shu was acting so abnormally today. It was obvious that she was just trying to be a weasel and had no good intentions.

Lu Yanluo would never believe that the wine in front of her was just ordinary alcohol and there was nothing wrong with it.

Now that she knew Qin's plan, Lu Yanluo decided to go with the flow. She wanted to see what Qin was going to do.
