That morning, the banquet was held as scheduled. This time, the Third Prince and the prince, Bai Su Xun and Luoyan were invited.
Everyone sat in their seats and waited for Consort Lin to appear. Consort Lin had been in the limelight for the past few days. When the Emperor heard the invitation from the Yan family, he specially sent a team of guards to protect Consort Lin, afraid that something might happen to his little baby.
However, it wasn’t that everyone was in a daze. Everyone was very clear about this matter. This troop of guards looked like they were protecting Consort Lin, but they still felt like they were monitoring her.
Concubine Lin was still young and had yet to mature, so she could be said to be very childish. When he saw someone in love with her, the Emperor was always afraid that she would accidentally cheat on him outside, so he used a very violent surveillance method.
When Imperial Concubine Lin arrived, she had already changed into a very beautiful grey embroidered dress. The flower patterns on it were very delicate and she was dressed in a make the old and new contrast and complement each other. It seemed that she had not been in vain for so many years at the side of the prefectural lord of Luoyan.
Even if she wore grey clothes that looked very old, and she was leaning against her plain face, she could still be said to be overbearing.
When Madam Yan saw Consort Lin, she finally understood why the Emperor had promoted her to the next level within a few days.
That was because this young lady was just standing here like a painting. She was invincible in her youth, not someone like Consort De who was already in the woman in her thirty-forties. If she was the Emperor, she would have chosen a girl like Lin. She was full of vitality, unlike Consort De who was struggling in the imperial palace, making her look almost equal.
When Consort Lin came over, the group of people stood up and saluted.
After the ceremony, Concubine Lin looked at it in private, then she seemed to have some doubts as she said, “Yesterday, I accidentally spilled water onto a girl from your Yan family, but why didn’t that girl come today?”
Madam Yan and Yan Shuang glanced at each other after hearing this, seemingly feeling very embarrassed.
The person that Imperial Concubine Lin was referring to was Ling, but they intentionally didn’t invite Ling over. They didn’t even tell her about the gathering, afraid that she would steal the limelight after she appeared.
Today, Madam Yan held a banquet to let Imperial Concubine Lin get to know Yan Shuang thoroughly, so that the two of them could walk around in the palace after making friends.
Yet, Consort Lin still missed her words?
Madam Yan walked up and respectfully said to Consort Lin, “My lady is very lazy. She’s still sleeping in the courtyard. If she wants to see her, how about I wake her up?”
Madam Yan had already said this. She thought that Consort Lin would use this to let Yan Ling sleep in the yard for a while, to show off her affection, but as if she was determined to see her, she said, “Call her over. That girl is a bright, and I still like her.”
Even though Madam Yan was upset, she still signaled the servant to call Yan Ling over.
At that time, Ling Zhang was resting in the room when a maid came over and kicked open the door of the room. Then she shouted, “Is Miss here?” Consort Lin came over and invited her to join the party.
Li Yi was waiting for Ling Zhang’s rest in the room. When he heard the sound, he was startled. Then he walked to the door and said to the lady, “Miss is resting in the room. Why didn’t you inform you in advance when you came?” She would come over recklessly, but she would disturb her to rest.
However, the mother-in-law ignored Li Wen’s words and said angrily, “Hurry up and pack it up. Otherwise, you’re the only one asking if Consort Lin is in a hurry!”
Li’s expression changed and he stared at the mother-in-law. Ever since the incident with Grandmother Zhang last time, many servants in the residence had been respectful to them. It seemed that they could tell that their words were going to rise to the be promoted step by step. She was no longer the pitiful lady who was going to step on two feet.
However, there were still servants who tried to provoke them. However, as soon as Li Zhicheng was used to being honest in the residence, he never cared about it.
It was at this moment that he heard the voice in the room suddenly say coldly, “Who are you talking to?” Did you forget about Grandmother Zhang last time? You’ve been together with Grandmother Zhang for so many years. How come you have to suffer such a loss?
The moment the woman saw Ling Zhang’s words, she remembered that she had been in the limelight these few days. She quickly bowed and said, “It’s really sorry. Please move over. Everyone over there is waiting for you!”
When Yan Ling saw the mother-in-law’s quick reaction, she didn’t give herself a chance to teach her a lesson. She was also very calm. She had seen many of these people and were the masters of some bully the weak and fear the strong.
But this woman thought she would let her go so easily today? She grabbed the woman’s collar and said to her, “Listen clearly. If you dare to talk to the girl in my room like this in the future, I will take your life!”
The mother-in-law’s expression on Ling Ling’s face was terrible; she knew she was telling the truth.
Recently, the young lady of the Yan family had a strong and domineering personality, and she was very harsh on the servants, letting them suffer unspeakably.
They just felt that Yan Ling’s personality was not good, but they never thought about why Yan Ling’s personality became like this. The servants who used to change the law were now all trembling with fear.
The mother-in-law quickly bowed and said, “This old servant remembers Young Lady’s words.”
After she walked far away, Li Wen turned to look at Yan Ling and said respectfully and emotionally, “Miss, why are you offending those girls for the sake of our servants?” They were the masters of some bully the weak and fear the strong, and they were respectful to you on the face, but who knew that something would happen behind their backs? It’s not like you don’t know about these people’s personalities, so why do you have to stand up for us?
When Yan Ling heard this, his heart started to ache. Li Zhicheng had been by her side for a long time, but she had never protected them properly and made them suffer.
When she was become entangled in by all the Yan family members, only these servant girls were by her side.
Now that she was getting stronger, she was no longer the girl who was bullied.
She then said to Li Wen, “With me protecting you, in the future, we have to wander around the residence. If anyone dares to say nothing, I will take their lives.”
