Chapter 12: Concubine Mu Family
"I’ve heard from the Palace Attendant beside Your Majesty that you were very much favored last night during your service in the bedchamber. Take a few boxes of DongAh Ejiao back and nourish yourself properly. I’m confident that soon you will give birth to a son for Your Majesty, won’t you, sister."
The way Lin Guifei called her sister was more affectionate and sincere than ever before.
But as soon as these words were spoken, she too was dragged into the whirlpool.
For the first time, Princess Consort Yi scrutinized Lin Wanyi, looking at her face, and couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
"The second miss of the Prime Minister’s Mansion is indeed a beauty, but it’s a pity her rank is somewhat low. However, with the Imperial Concubine’s support, I’m sure her rise to prominence won’t be difficult."
These words were in no way inferior to Lin Guifei’s earlier remarks.
One expresses the hope for her early pregnancy and for her to give birth to a son.
The other wishes her a bright future and promising prospects ahead.
Both were pleasant words, but if placed within an ordinary family, Lin Wanyi would undoubtedly feel delighted upon hearing them.
But this was within the palace, where so many women share one man; she didn’t even have to turn around to feel the prickling sensation of being stared at on her back.
Evidently she was just a concubine, yet she managed to stir such hidden currents in the situation.
Her heart harbored both apprehension and an eager desire to quickly distance herself from Lin Guifei and Princess Consort Yi.
