Just when Lin Zan was about to drink the plum wine, a pair of big hands came down from the sky and took the plum wine away from her mouth.

Lin Zhan was stunned as he watched the plum wine that was about to fly away from his mouth. Then he looked at the owner of the big hands with dissatisfaction.

Jun Beiqi played with the clear jade cup in his hand, then sniffed the plum wine in the cup, frowned and looked at Lin Zhan. "Although you are young, you have grown a lot braver and dare to drink."

"Brother, this wine is not intoxicating. I always see my mother drinking several bottles and she never gets drunk." Jun Anqing said hurriedly, waving his hands.

The corners of Jun Beiqi's mouth twitched. Concubine De's alcohol tolerance was one of the best in the palace. It was hard to believe that this plum wine was not intoxicating.

Then Lin Zan watched helplessly as Jun Beiqi drank up the glass of plum wine.

Lin Zan and Jun Anqing were like two little kids who wanted to drink wine secretly but were caught by their elders. They could only sit there obediently and drink rose water.

After the banquet, Lin Zhan had eaten and drunk his fill, making up for all the porridge and pickles he had consumed in the past few days. He was naturally very satisfied, and swayed back to Hanfang Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qiuchan followed closely behind, and said to Lin Zhan with a beaming face, "It's great that you can study at Qinglan Academy."

"Before, the emperor deprived you of the opportunity to study at Qinglan Academy because of the rumors that you were a bad star in the palace. I even mentioned it to the emperor a few times, but I didn't expect that you would fight for this opportunity back by yourself."

Hearing her words, Lin Zhan was a little stunned. Only then did she realize that when she lost the opportunity in Qinglan Court, although she didn't care, someone cared for her.

For a moment, Lin Zhan, who was stranded in another world, felt warm in his heart and smiled happily. "Thank you for your concern, sister. I heard that Qinglan Academy will start school in winter. Is it true?"

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that most of the students who go to Qinglan Academy are daughters of high-ranking officials and daughters of various princes. They are always of high standards. You must not lose your status when you go to study, otherwise they will look down on you."

Liu Qiuchan kept muttering to herself that she wanted to prepare things for Lin Zan's enrollment from now on, and they had to be the best so that others would not look down on them.

Listening to her nagging, Lin Zan did not feel annoyed, but felt very warm instead, and he wrote down every one of them.

All in all, there is no difference between the ancient version of going to school and the modern version of going to school. It’s just that the time is different and the daughters of officials are more competitive.

It was getting late, Liu Qiuchan finally stopped talking and left Hanfang Pavilion, allowing Lin Zan to have a good rest.

"Aunt, Lin Zhan was so loved by the emperor and the empress when she was in the palace. If she entered Qinglan Courtyard and made friends with other daughters of officials, wouldn't there be chaos?" Si Xueyi said anxiously while standing there.

Concubine Qin sneered and said, "An orphan girl without a father or a mother is only able to live in the palace because of the emperor's favor. What's there to be afraid of? I can crush her to death with just a little trick."

"Things haven't been done yet, yet you're panicking. You're such a loser. Go away and don't get in my way." Concubine Qin waved her hand impatiently, asking Si Xueyi to leave.

Although Si Xueyi felt unwilling in her heart, she couldn't say anything more. She bowed and left.

After the house arrest was lifted, Lin Zhan's life instantly returned to normal. The supervisor of the imperial kitchen even came to apologize in person for mistreating Lin Zhan during those days, and even cooked Lin Zhan's favorite meals for several days in a row.

Even Concubine Qin and Si Xueyi did not cause trouble for Lin Zhan until half a month later, when a group of new palace maids suddenly came to Lin Zhan's palace.

Because the previous batch of palace maids had been transferred to other palaces by the emperor, Lin Zhan had no other servants besides her personal maid Bixia and Xiao Haizi, who was arranged by Jun Beiqi to be by her side.

But what Lin Zan never expected was that this group of new palace maids were actually sent to her by Concubine Qin.

"The Empress is busy with many things every day, and the affairs of the harem are complicated, so the Emperor ordered me to assist the Empress in managing the harem, especially the dispatch of palace maids." Concubine Qin stood there with a smile on her face and said to Lin Zan.

Although Lin Zhan didn't like Concubine Qin in his heart, he still had to pretend on the surface and bowed respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Qin."

"It's good that you know. I will leave these palace maids to you. But don't ever say that I have treated you harshly in Hanfang Pavilion." Concubine Qin snorted and turned away.

However, Lin Zhan felt a bit puzzled when looking at the eight palace maids in front of him. He didn't know how many of these palace maids were spies planted in Hanfang Pavilion by Concubine Qin.

"Don't worry, young lady. I know you don't trust those palace maids. I will never let them get close to your bedroom." Bixia assured Lin Zan.

One must be on guard against others, and this was all Lin Zhan could do now. She nodded, and only Bixia and Xiao Haizi were serving her closely, while the other palace maids were all cleaning the outer courtyard and were not allowed to enter the bedroom.

"That little girl is very vigilant, but no matter how vigilant she is, it is useless. After all, some things do not need to be done personally." Concubine Qin soon found out how Lin Zhan arranged the palace maids, but she just sneered and didn't care.

One day it rained heavily and the weather turned cold. Lin Zhan coughed softly while sitting at the table. Bixia said quickly, "Young lady has caught a cold. Do you need me to call the imperial physician?"

"Sister Bixia, I'm fine, my throat just feels a little itchy. Just drink some water." Lin Zan didn't take it seriously. He casually drank some water and went to rest.

But early the next morning, Lin Zhan felt dry mouth, hot face, and a little dazed. Even the cough from last night got worse.

This frightened Bixia, who was serving nearby. This time, she ignored Lin Zan's attempt to stop her and ran directly to the Imperial Hospital to personally invite the director.

"Master, I feel something is wrong with my body." Lin Zan lay on the bed weakly.

The director frowned and began to feel her pulse. Then his face became more gloomy. Qin Shang, who was standing next to her, also became a little anxious. "Master, what happened to Junior Sister? What's wrong with her?"

"It's nothing, I just caught a cold and have a high fever." The director said calmly.
