Lin Mingyan asked anxiously, "What time is it? Why didn't Master call me when he got up?"

"It's already noon, and the master specifically asked you to sleep a little longer," Dujuan came over to help her change clothes.

In her hand was a Manchu dress that she and Linglan had worked tirelessly to finish yesterday.

Although there are no gorgeous patterns or embroidery, the material sent by the Fourth Master is of good quality, so it is quite decent.

Lin Mingyan didn't care about what to wear when paying her respects to the lady-in-waiting, so she just put it on.

In fact, she said that it would be better for her to wear the old clothes she brought with her, but the two girls' kindness should not be wasted.

This dress is not conspicuous and looks good when worn.

After washing up and having a sumptuous breakfast with six dishes, Lin Mingyan went to the main courtyard to pay her respects with satisfaction.

There was no rule of paying respects every day in the Fourth Master's backyard, but for a newcomer like her, she still had to go and drink a cup of concubine tea the next day after receiving the emperor's favor.

Of course, other people would also choose to meet her, such as Song and Li.

Zhang won't go because she is not qualified yet.

When Lin Mingyan arrived, the main courtyard was still quiet. It was obvious that Song and Li had not arrived yet.

She breathed a sigh of relief, asked Dujuan to tell her the news, and then waited at the door.

After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, she was finally led in by a maid and sat down.

After a while, pregnant Song arrived, half leaning on a chair.

Lin Mingyan greeted her openly, but didn't dare get too close.

This person is well-known in various novels for her poor health, and now she is pregnant and her condition is not good, so she cannot be beaten.

Song was a silent person, and now that she was feeling unwell, she spoke even less. Both of them sat still.

When a charming voice was heard outside, Lin Mingyan got goosebumps all over her body, and then she saw a figure in white coming in.

Li, who was deeply loved by the Fourth Master in the early days... turned out to be like this?!

Isn’t this a perfect little white flower? !

As soon as Li came in, she took her hand affectionately and said, "Oh, this little sister is really charming and pretty~"

Lin Mingyan has been in the workplace for so long, and she flatters senior colleagues who have outstanding abilities and are well-liked by their leaders without any hesitation.

And she has a killer skill - sincerity.

He seems innocent and romantic, and speaks frankly, but in fact he finds ways to praise people in every way possible, from appearance to figure.

Even though she got goosebumps all over her body when she heard Li's voice, what she said was as melodious as a yellow oriole.

Li was most proud of her voice, and when she was praised on the point, she even laughed "like a silver bell".

The "silver bell-like laughter" in the novel is embodied in Lin Mingyan's ears, and her ears are severely violated.

But being a green tea girl is an instinct, so she held on and even had a pleasant conversation with her senior.

When Fu Jin came out, she saw this scene: a beautiful woman and a stunning beauty, both with eye-catching smiles.

She held Aunt Gui's hand and couldn't help but tighten it for a moment.

This Lin family actually suppressed the Li family.

Looking at Li's hypocritical smile and the way she unconsciously scratched her handkerchief, Fu Jin knew that the jealousy in her heart was about to overflow.

Yes, Not Bad!

Fu Jin gently asked the three people who were bowing to excuse themselves, and asked a few more questions about Song's pregnancy. When she saw that Li's handkerchief was snagged, the corners of her mouth curled up even higher.

Lin Mingyan then bowed to them one by one and received a pair of gold bracelets from Fu Jin and a gold hairpin from Song.

As for Li, she was given a set of head ornaments, which looked much more magnificent than the pair of gold bracelets that Fu Jin had.

Oh mo~

It's going to happen!

Why did the legendary domineering Li become so kind today? It turned out that she was waiting for her here.

Fu Jin's smile froze on her face. If looks could kill, Li would be in ruins by now.

Li pretended not to see it and deliberately asked Lin Mingyan: "Sister Lin? What? Don't you like it?"

If Lin Mingyan refused to accept it, it would be a slap in Li's face in public, and if this got to the Fourth Master, she would definitely be in trouble.

After all, the Fourth Master is a nostalgic person, and Li has been with him for such a long time, so he must have more feelings for her than she does.

But if she accepted it, the lady would lose face.

This Li family is really more cunning than a sieve!

Lin Mingyan was not afraid. What kind of things had she not encountered in the workplace?

She picked out a pair of exquisitely crafted gilded hairpins from the tray and put them on her hair in public.

He smiled and said, "Sister Li, will you let me choose for myself?"

"I like this pair of hairpins. Isn't this the one I need on my head?"

Seeing that she had dodged it with ease, Li was about to say something, but Fu Jin spoke first:

"Okay, after the ceremony, let's go. I'm tired."

When Lin and Song heard this, they ran faster than rabbits and disappeared in a flash.

Li was the only one left, a beat late. She came out and threw the torn handkerchief on the tray: "This Lin is really cunning!"

She had clearly inquired about it and knew that the Lin family was very poor, with a dead father and a cowardly mother.

When he entered the mansion, he didn't even have a box with him, only a small bag.

How could he refuse her priceless headgear?!

Her maid Yingxiang quickly advised: "Princess, she is ungrateful. Please don't get angry and get yourself hurt."

"Wait until the next master's birthday, and watch her embarrass herself!"

"Hmph, let's see what she can get by flattering the concubine." Li said viciously in a charming voice.

In the main courtyard, Fu Jin let out a sigh of relief and said to Nanny Gui, "This Lin is quite capable. It's really satisfying to see Li get humiliated!"

After saying this, she thought of the baby she gave birth to at the beginning of the year. She didn't even know it was coming, and it just disappeared without a sound.

There were only two people in the palace at that time. Who else was there besides Li?

She had a miscarriage at the same time as leaving the palace to build a residence. She forced herself to take care of everything. When she settled down and asked the imperial physician to see her, she found that her health had deteriorated and it was difficult for her to get pregnant.

Fu Jin was scared at that time. This alone was enough for the emperor to have a reason to replace her!

Fortunately, the Fourth Master said that it was difficult to conceive but not impossible, so she felt a little relieved.

Aunt Gui also felt sorry for the child and said with tears in her eyes, "Li should be made to suffer!"

"Mother, the person you picked this time is quite capable," Fu Jin said, feeling much better.

Nanny Gui nodded and said, "It's also Lin's luck. Zhang originally arranged for it to be closer to the front yard."

Lin is too beautiful, so I dare not let her stand out too much. Zhang is more reassuring.

"Forget it. Everyone has their own destiny. If the master doesn't want to go, I can't force him to go." Fu Jin waved her hand and said, "You should send something to both sides."

"Then...the medicine..." Aunt Gui was a little hesitant.

In the first year after Fu Jin got married, both princesses drank contraceptive soup.

However, she had not gotten pregnant for a long time, so the empress in the palace hinted that she should stop taking the contraceptive soup.

But they agreed on the surface, but still gave him the drink secretly.

Now that he has left the house and a new person has come, should he still avoid him?

"Don't move anymore," Fu Jin closed her eyes and lay down. "Whoever can give birth can give birth. The more the better."
