Grassland women lead a rugged life and value a strong body and healthy skin more than girls from the Great Chu Kingdom who dress up elaborately.
Moreover, life is difficult for people on the grasslands, and their income is not much. Most families may not even have enough to eat in winter, so where would they get spare money to buy things like lipstick and perfume?
Therefore, Lin Wanqing's products did not sell very well, and due to the high cost of materials, she not only did not make a profit but also lost some money.
In a fit of rage, Femoron would beat Lin Wanqing at the drop of a hat.
Because she was from a different ethnic group, Lin Wanqing was bullied by the other concubines in Fei Molong's mansion. During that time, she lived a life worse than death.
Until one day, when a banquet was held in the palace, Fei Molong felt that Lin Wanqing was, after all, a woman from the Great Chu, and had more gentleness and grace, so he took her to the palace banquet.
On that very day, Lin Wanqing encountered Wanyan Da, the Prince of Beili.
Wanyan Da was only in his early twenties, and much more handsome than Feimolong.
Lin Wanqing began to have an idea.
In the Northern Li Kingdom, there is little regard for chastity. It is common for brothers to marry their widowed brothers' wives, for sons to inherit their deceased fathers' concubines, and for women to remarry.
Although she was already Femoron's woman, she had no official status.
If Wanyan Da takes a liking to her, Feimolong will definitely be willing to offer her to Wanyan Da.
Now that she has come to this point, she is destined never to return to the Great Chu.
If she can't go back, then she'll climb to the highest point in Bei Li.
All of this depends on King Li of the North!
Looking at the Queen sitting next to the King of Beili, she was the daughter of the King of Beili Changfeng, and had already given birth to a son for Wanyan Da.
If I want to become the Queen of Bei Li, this Queen must die!
To achieve all this, Lin Wanqing knew she first needed to attract Wanyan Da's attention.
Although she was not bad-looking, she was nothing compared to the Queen of Bei Li.
Having grown up in the countryside, Lin Wanqing was not proficient in any of the traditional arts that women of that era excelled at, such as playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dancing.
She studied medicine with Cai Fanzhou for a while and learned some basics, but she couldn't be considered an expert.
With such qualities, she could be said to have no special talents, so how could she possibly attract the attention of the Northern King?
No, that's not right!
She was a person from the end times, and the knowledge in her mind was enough to make these foolish Northern Li people bow down to her.
As Lin Wanqing pondered, she listened to the conversation between the Northern King and Fei Molong, who discussed how several tribes had recently begun to stir and wanted to break away from the rule of the Northern King. Fei Molong had volunteered to go and suppress them.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up.
What should she do?
At this moment, Wei Yingshuang's voice interrupted Lin Wanqing's recollection.
"In that case, you should thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have become the Queen of Bei Li."
When Wei Yinshuang heard Lin Wanqing say that she had helped her, a look of regret flashed in her eyes.
Lin Wanqing curled her lips into a cold smile.
Thank her?
If it weren't for Wei Yinshuang, she might already be by that handsome and virtuous man's side, becoming the regent's wife whom everyone in the Great Chu envied.
Instead of drinking mare's milk she hated, enduring nausea, and spending time with a bunch of uncivilized barbarians in this freezing cold of the North!
"Princess Consort Qin, rest assured, I will repay your kindness!" Lin Wanqing emphasized the word "kindness," then smiled gently and turned to walk away.
Wei Yingshuang watched Lin Wanqing's retreating figure, momentarily confused about the meaning behind her words.
Could it be that Lin Wanqing is really going to help her out of consideration for their past friendship?
With the help of Queen Li of the North, I might be able to escape back to the Great Chu.
A new hope suddenly arose in Wei Yinshuang's heart.
Once she returns to the Great Chu, she can simply change her identity and have her father and third brother place her somewhere where no one knows her past. With her status, she can have any man she wants, and she'll certainly be more comfortable and at ease than living in the Northern Li.
Yes, escape back to the Great Chu!
