Chapter 13 Unstable Foundation
In Yuexiu Palace, Princess Consort Yi sat gracefully on the rosewood couch, next to which rested a gilded copper furnace emitting a faintly sweet and intoxicating fragrance from the Yuezhi Fragrance of the Northwest.
It was Princess Consort Yi’s favorite scent.
Unfortunately, such a pleasant fragrance was of little interest to those present.
Lady Chu recounted the situation before Princess Consort Yi arrived, ranting furiously about Lin Wanyi’s behavior, almost labeling her as a femme fatale.
"Your Highness, that Lin Daying obviously seeks to charm Your Majesty. If he truly favors her, won’t it be like giving wings to the Imperial Concubine?"
She despised Lin Wanyi and wished to use Princess Consort Yi against Lin Wanyi, hoping to see her dead immediately.
Yet, in truth, Lin Wanyi did not have much of a deep-seated feud with her.
It was likely driven by her pride.
During her time in the boudoir, she was known for striving to outdo everyone.
Her striking beauty, especially among the military families gathered in the Northwest, stood out remarkably.
Now, entering the palace, her looks were merely above average.
Being selected into the palace, beauty was merely a criterion. Especially compared to Lin Wanyi, she seemed ordinary, which frustrated her immensely.
