House Arrest to Ward of Disaster

"You! How dare you curse me!"

Concubine Chu looked at Lin Wanyi arrogantly, her eyes blazing with anger.

"I dare not. I just reminded you."

After saying that, she pointed to the sky and put on a pleasant look on her face, which made Concubine Chu very unhappy.

"Be careful, my dear, the Buddha is watching you every day in the sky."

Concubine Chu was furious, but she had to be considerate.

Civil officials were fine, but military generals believed in these things the most. Even if she couldn't stand Lin Wanyi, she didn't dare to talk nonsense at this moment.

Seeing that Concubine Chu, who was always swift and decisive, was repeatedly defeated by Lin Wanyi, the other concubines were also very unhappy.

But in terms of background, favor, and backing, they could not compare with Lin Wanyi, so no matter how unhappy they were, they could only swallow their anger.

In the inner hall, Qin He, who was originally planning to lift the curtain, listened carefully for a moment and frowned slightly.

This noble lady Chu really didn't take Concubine Lin seriously. It would be fine if she didn't consider much on weekdays, but she dared to openly provoke Lin Yingying in the territory of Linzhi Palace.

After all, she was the second daughter of the Xiangfu. A daughter of a general in the northwest was so presumptuous.Was it that she didn't take the Xiangfu seriously, or didn't take Concubine Lin seriously? So she took two steps back and walked towards the bedroom. She leaned over to Concubine Lin's ear, who had already packed up, and explained the matter one by one. Concubine Lin's upturned phoenix eyes were a little careless.

At this moment, she felt a little disgusted.

"Another arrogant woman who doesn't know her place. Go out and tell Concubine Chu that the Imperial Observatory has reported that her fate is in bad luck. She needs to fast, chant Buddhist scriptures and recite sutras in Yonghua Palace for half a month to eliminate bad luck. During this period, the green card should be removed. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the back hall of Yihua Palace without permission!"

"Yes, I obey your order!"

The concubines outside were waiting to pay their respects to Concubine Lin, but before they saw her, the order came out.

When Qin He finished speaking, Concubine Chu was indignant.

"How could my fate be in bad luck? Did the Imperial Observatory make a mistake?"

Concubine Chu didn't dare to confront Concubine Lin directly, so she could only blame the Imperial Observatory, but she also knew that this was useless.Sure enough, Qin He said next.

"The current director of the Imperial Observatory was promoted by His Majesty himself. If Concubine Chu doubts the Imperial Observatory, is she doubting His Majesty? You should be careful with your words and actions!"

"You!"

A maid dared to show off in front of her, which was really infuriating. But people under the Imperial Concubine have to bow their heads.

Not only is she now under house arrest, but even the green card has been withdrawn. There is a time limit for chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha's name, but when can this card be restored!

She was angry, but she didn't dare to say much.

She could only kneel down and kowtow to thank her, and then Qin He said impartially and selflessly.

"Please go, young lady. If your fate offends the imperial concubine, I'm afraid there will be another storm."

She was exempted from the morning greetings, but Concubine Chu didn't feel happy at all.

"In that case, then I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, she stood up and left.

The other concubines looked at this scene and bowed their heads even more.Their backgrounds were not as good as Concubine Chu's. Concubine Lin was clearly protecting Lin Da Ying. If they rushed forward rashly, they would only be cannon fodder.

Therefore, keeping silent was the best choice.   

After paying respects as usual, Concubine Yi and Concubine Lan still did not show up, but Concubine Lin did not have time to care about such trivial matters. She was fully focused on preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Since the time of Taizu, the Dragon Boat Festival has been given great importance. Princes, sons of noble families must form teams to race dragon boats on Shounan Lake, and this year is no exception."

After saying this, she deliberately glanced at Lin Wanyi, who immediately understood.

If the name of her elder brother could be included here, it would also help his future.

You know, in the past few years when he joined the Imperial City Bureau, he never even reported his name, so it was normal that he could not make a name for himself.

Concubine Lin seemed to want to use this as a condition for exchange, but I don't know what she wanted to do?

It seems that she will talk to Concubine Lin in private later. The other concubines in the palace also have brothers in their families. After hearing this, they all smiled and forgot the little episode that just happened in the courtyard.

"If you win the first place in this dragon boat race, you will not only get the cold iron dagger bestowed by His Majesty, but also have the opportunity to be promoted to the Imperial Guards, which is a position that His Majesty often visits. I think our sisters will have something exciting to watch."

After saying that, she smiled.

Seeing this, the concubines below praised one after another.

"Your Exellence is right. The Dragon Boat Festival in previous years was not very interesting. Since Your Exellence started to prepare, everyone in and outside the palace has praised it."

"That's right, Your Exellence has a good idea. This Dragon Boat Festival

must be very lively." Concubine Lin was very pleased to hear their praise.

When Empress Xu was still there, she was always very timid when holding this banquet. It was good to be frugal, but if she was still like this when she showed up, people inside and outside the court would naturally look down on her. Since she took over, whether it was the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, or the New Year's Eve, they were all celebrated with extra grandeur.

It cost a lot of money, but she always had a way to make up for it.

Thinking of this, Concubine Lin felt that no one in the palace was more suitable to be the queen than her, so she became more arrogant. She

looked down on everyone.

In addition, she had just dealt with Concubine Chu, and now she was very majestic, so she gave an order.

"The Dragon Boat Festival banquet is the most troublesome. I see that sister Yingpin is very meticulous, so why not leave this matter to you."

Huh?

Yingpin, who was named, suddenly looked up. She had no sense of existence before, but now she has become the target of everyone's attention.

Yingpin entered the palace in the 13th year of Yuanhe, four years earlier than Lin Wanyi and her group. Her father was the Minister of Rites, who was elegant and humble, so the daughter he raised was like him.

Since entering the palace, she has not fought or competed, but she is a good painter.

Because of this, there are always two or three opportunities to meet the emperor in January.

She is not a favorite concubine, but she is also someone the emperor remembers.

It should be a great honor for Concubine Ying to be chosen to handle this matter. After all, there is a precedent, so she just needs to follow the old rules. However, if she does a good job, she will be able to show her face in front of His Majesty.

Many people would beg for this, but Concubine Ying acted as if she was facing a great enemy.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Exellence, but I have little experience and skills. If you leave this matter to me, I am afraid it will affect the banquet. Please take back your order."

After saying this, she bowed and spoke earnestly.

When she said this, the other concubines laughed at her for being fearless, but Concubine Lin's eyes became deeper.

Even her words became more inquiring and threatening.
