Chapter 506 A resounding slap (6)_1
"Yes, I understand, my lady." The maid stepped back respectfully. She has been by Consort Lin’s side since childhood and was a faithful servant sent by the Lin family to the northern land to protect Consort Lin; she wouldn’t dare to anger Consort Lin.
"I am curious about the beauty brought back by the Prince. How beautiful is she?" Consort Wang sipped slowly from her cup, in her voice laid an undercurrent of grinding teeth.
"With Consort’s unparalleled beauty, surely she will outshine any average folk?" The concubines in the room began to chatter, each trying to outdo the other with flattering words.

As soon as Lin Ziyin received the cup, she smelled the fragrance of the tea. "Good tea."
