Although Lin Junxue lowered her head to drink tea, it was difficult for her to ignore the burning gaze Zhang Yuyan gave her.

She paused, then raised her head, put down the teacup, and looked at Zhang Yuyan.

"Noble Lady Yan, why are you looking at me like this?"

"System, system, how much favor does the Queen have towards me now?"

"The Queen's favorability towards you, the host, is five points, which can be completely ignored."

Zhang Yuyan sighed, wondering when the Queen’s favorability towards her would reach 100!

There’s a long way to go

She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think you are beautiful, so I want to take a few more glances at you."

Zhang Yuyan's straightforward words confused Qiao Xin and the others.

Their queen is beautiful, but why does it sound so strange when Concubine Yan says this?

How could a concubine in the harem speak like this? And she seemed so sincere.

For a moment, the hall became completely quiet.

Li Shiwen had just put the pastry to his mouth, but then put it down silently.

Lin Junxue raised her eyebrows, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

This Zhang Yuyan is really interesting

She said, "Noble Lady Yan is also pretty."

After Lin Junxue finished speaking, she felt like laughing. Was she and Zhang Yuyan praising each other in business?

Zhang Yuyan smiled and nodded

"Thank you for the compliment, Queen. Although I am pretty, I am not as pretty as you."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shiwen just picked up a piece of cake, and his hand stopped in mid-air, stiff.

Lin Junxue and Zhang Yuyan smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was very good.

Li Shiwen raised his hand silently

"Um, Queen, Lady Yan, you two are both beautiful."

Zhang Yuyan turned to look at Li Shiwen, her tone very serious

"Sister Lan Guiji, the concubines are beautiful, but the Queen is the most beautiful."

Li Shiwen choked, OK, speechless

Everyone in the harem thought that Zhang Yuyan would compete for favor and share the emperor's love when she entered the palace.

Now, she looked at Zhang Yuyan's smiling face.

She felt that Zhang Yuyan was not trying to win the emperor's favor, but was trying to win the queen's favor. What kind of thing was this?

Lin Junxue also couldn’t understand why Zhang Yuyan’s attitude was so strange?

Had Zhang Yuyan met the original owner before or had they had any other interactions? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Zhang Yuyan had such an attitude towards her?

After Zhang Yuyan and Li Shiwen left, Qiao Xin arranged the flowers sent by the flower room.

"My lady, this spring, there is less wind and the weather is more comfortable. The flowers sent by the greenhouse are in better shape than in previous years."

Guyu was massaging Lin Junxue's legs. She said, "I will send these flowers to the greenhouse later. Your Majesty, enjoy the flowers and the moon in the evening. It will be a special experience for you to enjoy the flowers and the moon."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly "OK"

Qiao Xin continued, "My Lady, do you think that Concubine Yan is sincere or intentional today? I am a little confused about Concubine Yan."

Lin Junxue lay on the chaise longue, propped up her hands, and asked nonchalantly, "What do you think? Is Concubine Yan sincere or fake?"

Qiao Xin thought for a moment and said softly, "Your Majesty, based on my observation, this Concubine Yan's praise for you is genuine and doesn't seem fake. But this...something is wrong. Why would she treat you like this? It's really hard to understand."

Guyu said, "I can't understand why Concubine Yan seems to have feelings for you, my lady."

Lin Junxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry after listening to Guyu's words, but she didn't blame Guyu for saying that.

If it weren't for the different times, it would be hard not to think too much based on the way Zhang Yuyan looked at her.

Qiao Xin hurriedly said, "Guyu, stop talking nonsense. This is nonsense."

Lin Junxue said, "It's okay. This Zhang Yuyan is indeed a wonderful person. I can't see through her at the moment. However, the praise she gave me in her eyes is indeed not fake, but sincere. So let's wait and see. It's hard to make a conclusion now. There's still a long time to go in the harem, so there's no rush."

Qiao Xin nodded

"Your Majesty is right. There is a long time to come. We need to slowly judge whether people are good or bad. But there is one more thing. Your Majesty, do you want to put Imperial Concubine Xi aside for now?"

Lin Junxue shook her head

"The Emperor and Chen Xier have had a relationship for many years. Even if the Emperor is tired of Chen Xier now, for the sake of the child in her belly, the Emperor may one day remember their friendship and change his mind. So Chen Xier should still be well served by the Imperial Household Department. As for whether Chen Xier can really settle down and not cause any trouble, that is her own business."

She would not let Chen Xier give birth to the baby in her belly, but it was not the time for her to take action yet.

Because she bet that Chen Xier would not be so obedient.

Chen Xier will definitely use the baby in her belly to cause trouble again.

Xie Yu thought that confinement to house arrest would prevent Chen Xier from causing any more trouble, but he didn't know that for Chen Xier, a favored concubine for many years, this decree would only put more pressure on Chen Xier.

If it were normal, Chen Xier might still be able to hold back with some rationality.

But now that she is pregnant, it is inevitable that she will have mood swings.

At this time, Chen Xier couldn't help but have some extreme thoughts.

So, she had to wait, wait for Chen Xier to push her into a dead end again, with no possibility of turning around.

As she spoke, Danzhen brought in the prepared mud mask.

This is what Lin Junxue asked Danzhen to improve according to the modern formula. Now it should be applied for a while every day.

Maintenance is still very important

"My lady, this is the cleansing mask I just improved these past two days. I will apply it to you now."

Lin Junxue lay on the couch and let Danzhen apply a facial mask on her.

Guyu lit up the essential oil that he had prepared a few days ago. In an instant, the whole hall was filled with a faint orchid fragrance, which made people feel relaxed.

After a while, Lin Junxue slowly closed her eyes.

Danzhen watched Lin Junxue fall asleep, picked up the fan beside her, and fanned her gently.

Guyu and Qiaoxin both withdrew and went about their business.

Jinghe Palace

Zhang Yuyan came back happily and saw Gao Cheng waiting at the door.

Her heart tightened. It was over. She was only thinking about the Queen and forgot that she had entered the harem and would have to sleep with the Queen sooner or later.

When she thought about sleeping with her husband, Zhang Yuyan resisted with all her heart and soul. She really didn't want to sleep with her husband.

Besides, the emperor's appearance and temperament are not what she likes, hey...

When Gao Cheng saw Zhang Yuyan, he quickly walked up to her and greeted her.

"Good luck to Concubine Yan, Concubine Yan is very happy. The emperor has summoned you to sleep with him today, so please get ready quickly."

Zhang Yuyan sighed in her heart and complained to the system

"Ahhh, the Emperor is the scumbag you mentioned. He also said that his favorite person is Imperial Concubine Xi. One foot he imprisoned Imperial Concubine Xi, and the next foot he summoned me to sleep with him. The Empress is so beautiful, how could she like the scumbag Emperor? The Empress is wasted."

System "Noise"

Gao Cheng looked at Zhang Yuyan, who was silent and in a daze. He raised his head with a puzzled look.

Why does Concubine Yan look like a fool? Is she so happy that she doesn't know how to speak?

I thought she was still someone who could win your favor, but now it seems like this.

Even if you only have beauty and talent, the Emperor won't like you because of your personality.
