Lin Zan never expected that she would meet Si Xueyi, the largest white lotus in the original book, so soon.

Among the crowd of noble ladies, Si Xueyi was a very conspicuous one, but few people talked to her and she looked quite lonely.

This reminded Lin Zan of the description of Si Xueyi's situation in the original book.

Si Xueyi is the goddaughter adopted by Qin Fei's brother. She is extremely beautiful and pure, and was originally used as a tool by the Qin family.

And these noble ladies in the court, under the influence of their fathers, are accustomed to treating people differently, and naturally look down on tools like Si Xueyi.

So at first, although Si Xueyi entered the palace with the help of Concubine Qin's relationship, her situation was extremely difficult. It was because Lin Zan accepted her that she was able to slowly gain a foothold in the palace.

But no one expected that after Si Xueyi had established her own foundation, she would start to play tricks and play Lin Zhan in the palm of her hand.

In the end, she got together with Jun Beiyu and snatched away the person Lin Zan loved the most.

Anyway, it was a vivid story of betrayal by a best friend.

When he thought of this, Lin Zhan couldn't help but feel his teeth itching, and he looked at Si Xueyi with a hint of anger in his eyes.

At this moment, Si Xueyi's gaze also moved over here, and it was obvious that she also noticed Lin Zan who was staring at her with a bad look.

Thinking of Concubine Qin's instructions before entering the palace, Si Xueyi put on a beautiful smile on her face, and walked towards Lin Zhan with light steps.

Looking at Si Xueyi walking towards him, Lin Zhan snorted coldly in his heart. He naturally knew that if Si Xueyi wanted to stay in the palace, she would still need his help.

So he didn't even look at Si Xueyi, turned his head and walked past her, and it was obvious that he didn't want to pay any attention to her.

Si Xueyi, who had come up empty-handed, stood there in surprise. Before she could come to her senses, the emperor had already arrived at the flower-viewing banquet with all the princes and the newly born princess.

Si Xueyi had to give up approaching Lin Zan temporarily and bowed.

The emperor was obviously in a good mood. He personally held Princess Silin in his arms and raised his big hand and said, "Everyone, please stand up. Today is to celebrate the princess's full moon, and we invite everyone to enjoy the flowers. Everyone, please don't be shy."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone took their seats. Lin Zhan's seat was arranged below Empress Zhang and not far from the Emperor, which showed her status.

At this time, Concubine Qin pursed her lips, took out a gold and jade necklace, gave it to Princess Silin as a full moon gift, and took the opportunity to tell the emperor that she wanted Si Xueyi to enter the palace.

"Your Majesty, I have thought about it and found that there are not many children of the same age as Miss Lin in the palace. Miss Lin must be very lonely living in the palace."

After these words came out, the emperor was obviously stunned for a moment, then he sighed and looked at Lin Zhan. "Yes, there are not many princesses in the palace, and most of them have already married. Now only Princess Silin is still in her infancy."

"Although there are many princes in the palace, there are differences between men and women after all. What Concubine Qin said makes sense."

At this point, Concubine Qin took the opportunity to bring up Si Xueyi's matter. "I can share the emperor's worries. My brother has adopted a goddaughter named Xueyi. She is very well-behaved and sensible, and she is about the same age as Miss Lin. It would be a good idea to let my goddaughter enter the palace to be Miss Lin's playmate."

As soon as she finished speaking, Si Xueyi walked out from the crowd. She was wearing a white dress that was whiter than snow, making her skin look even more delicate and exquisite.

"Your humble servant Si Xueyi pays respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Si Xueyi knelt down immediately, and the emperor looked down, then squinted his eyes and said, "You are the niece that Concubine Qin mentioned. You do look about the same age as Lin Zhan, so stay in the palace to accompany Lin Zhan."

The emperor nodded in agreement, which was exactly what Concubine Qin had wished for, and she immediately thanked him with a smile.

Sure enough, no matter how he resisted Si Xueyi, she eventually entered the palace because of him.

Lin Zhan said feeling a little annoyed, they were clearly looking for playmates for him but he didn't ask for his opinion.

But it’s better this way. Only by keeping the enemy under your nose can you control them at any time.

When thinking of this, Lin Zhan was not so angry anymore, while Jun Beiqi, who was sitting on the other side, showed a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.

After Si Xueyi's story was told, the concubines from other palaces naturally presented the gifts they had prepared, and the scene became extremely lively for a while.

Even Lin Zhan took out the tiger-head hat that he had prepared in advance. After Princess Silin put it on, she looked very cute with a tiger-head hat. She didn't look like a little princess but more like a little prince.

This full moon flower-viewing banquet, in addition to celebrating Princess Silin's full moon, was also for flower-viewing, so everyone moved to the Imperial Garden.

The arrival of spring makes all the flowers bloom, competing with each other in beauty, and the fragrance fills the air. Many concubines walk among the flowers, and their plump and slim figures create a unique sight.

Lin Zan was not interested in these, but looked at Si Xueyi and Jun Beiqi with a serious look.

At this moment, Si Xueyi was standing beside Jun Beiqi with a shy look on her face. No one knew what she was saying, but from time to time she smiled more beautifully than a flower.

"Miss, what are you looking at? You seem so fascinated by it." Bixia, who was standing aside, followed Lin Zhan's gaze and was startled for a moment, then quickly lowered her head.

As a palace maid, you are not allowed to pry into your master's secrets at will, otherwise you may easily lose your life in the palace.

Lin Zhan gritted his teeth and said in hatred, "As expected of the White Lotus who survived to the end in the original book, she actually took action so quickly."

As a chess piece, Si Xueyi has a clear understanding of her position. She knows that she must climb to the highest center of power in order to break free from the control of the Qin family.

At this moment, the identity of Prince Jun Beiqi is a shortcut for Si Xueyi to escape the control of the Qin family.

Remember in the book, when Lin Zan discovered that Si Xueyi was deliberately trying to get close to the prince, he reminded her that the prince had a bad temper to avoid her getting hurt.

"Miss Zhan, the prince only looks scary on the surface, but he is actually very soft-hearted." Si Xueyi looked gentle, but she could see through Jun Beiqi's true nature at a glance.

This is also Si Xueyi's ability, but when he thought that Jun Beiqi was an ally on his side, he naturally could not be won over by Si Xueyi.

Lin Zan took a step and walked directly towards Jun Beiqi and Si Xueyi.

"Miss Si is quite quick. She just entered the palace and she's already talking to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Zan walked up to the two of them. Although there was a smile on his face, the words he said were a bit stinging.

Si Xueyi was stunned on the spot, with a shy expression on her face, half lowered her head, and said in a delicate voice, "Miss Lin misunderstood, I'm just not familiar with the Imperial Garden, so I wanted to find someone to ask for directions."
