That night, it was festive and brightly lit in the East Palace. The Crown Prince was to receive his secondary consort, whom he was undoubtedly marrying. It was very lively.
Si Mobai was busy and could not make it. Feng Tianlan considered their friendship in her previous life and was also one of the ones invited. So, she went to Zhaoyang Palace early and then went to the East Palace with Xi Lin.
Shen Yunya dressed in splendid clothes to attend and came to the entrance of the East Palace. She was about to go in when she looked up and saw Feng Tianlan and Xi Lin walking hand in hand together. They were also chatting and laughing. She could not help but frown. Then she stopped and waited for them.
Did Feng Tianlan and Xi Lin have such a good relationship?
She recalled the incident where she had been slapped by Xi Lin the last time at Bailan Alliance. Could it be that Xi Lin also knew that Feng Tianlan was Shen Qingdai?
“Princess Zhaoyang, Miss Feng,” Shen Yunya said. She smiled and stepped forward to greet them when she saw them close. There was none of the breakdown and rancor from the morning. She was like a completely different person.
Xi Lin looked inside and saw that it was decorated with lanterns and colored banners everywhere. She looked up and smiled at Shen Yunya as she said, “You have been apart for a month. How do you feel, watching my Imperial Brother getting married?”
Indeed, today was May 12th. Her Imperial Brother had married the secondary consort. Shen Yunya must have hated it very much.
Shen Yunya’s body stiffened and the smile on her face somewhat faltered. But when she saw Feng Tianlan, smiling as she watched the show from the sidelines, she regained her composure and said, “I’m naturally happy that Big Brother Jin is taking a concubine. But I can see that the princess and Miss Feng get along so harmoniously. When you really live together in the future, there will be no fear of quarrel. The elder sister definitely will give way to the younger sister. The Demon King is really blessed in this way.”
The implication was that since the two people were on such good terms, they would not fight over a man when the sisters had to wait upon the same husband.
It was to sow discord between the two of them.
Xi Lin was not annoyed and also not in a hurry to explain. She looked at Shen Yunya as if she were amused. She said, “Come to think of it, my Imperial Brother is lucky. He had just swept away something horrible and instead married a lucky star in the blink of an eye. It can be assumed that I will soon be a princess. If we were to speak in the future, the little Imperial Grandson can address you as aunt based on our past relationship. But I’m just afraid that you won’t be able to accept it.”
Listening to this, Shen Yunya could not sustain the smile on her face any longer. She clenched her fists. She could not allow other people to have Big Brother Jin. No one could.
“Tianlan, let us go in. We must give my Imperial Brother a good toast later to congratulate him for finding a good partner at last.” Xi Lin was delighted to see Shen Yunya deflated.
Shen Yunya raised her eyes and smiled. Her eyes were cold as she said, “Miss Feng had a younger sister before, and then an elder sister later. It is also a form of blessing.”
“I am more blessed than Miss Shen.” Feng Tianlan did not care at all about the meaning behind Shen Yunya’s words.
Shen Yunya was provoking her and sowing discord between her and Sister Lin. She was talking about how she was betrayed and killed by her in her previous life. And now, she had to contend with Sister Lin competing with her for Mobai.
But the matter between Mobai and Sister Lin was only a rumor among the people.
Shen Yunya frowned when she saw that she could not provoke Feng Tianlan. She wanted to speak clearly but restrained herself.
With so many people here now, she wanted to maintain her own image well. As to the matter of dealing with Shen Qingdai, she could just get someone else to do the dirty work later. After all, there were plenty of people who liked the Demon King in Lin’an City.
Xi Lin pulled Feng Tianlan to the banquet table at the top right area of the room and sat down. She looked at Shen Yunya, entering gracefully, and gave a disdainful sneer as she said, “She actually tried to drive a wedge between our relationship and make us fight. It is utterly ridiculous.”
She had grown up in the Imperial Palace and heard many peculiar things. How could she not understand Shen Yunya’s words?
