The next day, the sky was slightly bright.

Lin Qinshuang stood up and carefully dressed Molan.

She looked at her daughter's pretty face in the mirror, her eyes flickering with a hint of deep meaning.

"Molan, when you enter the palace today, remember to be careful with your words and actions."

Lin Qinshuang's voice was soft, yet carried unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, I understand, mother."

Molan answered obediently, but her eyes were sparkling with excitement.

She was full of curiosity and yearning for this mysterious palace.

The carriage rumbled as it drove towards the majestic palace.

The mother and daughter walked in silence, each with their own thoughts.

As I entered the palace gate, a eunuch came forward to greet me.

"Princess Fuxi, Princess Anle, and the Imperial Concubine are already waiting in the palace."

The eunuch bowed respectfully and led them to Concubine Jiang's bedroom.

As soon as she stepped into the palace, Molan was shocked by the scene before her.

The carved beams and painted buildings, the splendor and gold and jadeite, demonstrate the majesty and grandeur of the royal family everywhere.

She followed Lin Qinshuang closely, not daring to overstep the line.

"My wife, please see the noble concubine."

Lin Qinshuang led Molan and bowed gracefully, her voice clear and pleasant.

"Sister, please get up quickly."

Concubine Jiang smiled and stepped forward to support him personally.

Her eyes fell on Molan, and a hint of fondness flashed in her eyes.

"This must be Molan, she's really a beauty."

Concubine Jiang took Molan's hand and looked at her carefully.

"I have met the imperial concubine."

Molan bowed obediently with a soft voice.

"Good boy, get up quickly."

Concubine Jiang smiled and helped Molan up, then pulled her to sit next to her.

"I have wanted to meet you for a long time. After meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Concubine Jiang spoke in an intimate tone, as if she were treating her own daughter.

Lin Qinshuang sat aside, quietly observing Concubine Jiang's expression.

She knew that the enthusiasm shown by Concubine Jiang at this time was not entirely sincere.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. Molan is young and ignorant, so if I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me."

Lin Qinshuang responded modestly, with a tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"Sister, you're worrying too much. Molan is so well-behaved and sensible. I love her so much."

Concubine Jiang smiled and waved her hand, indicating that Lin Qinshuang didn't need to be so reserved.

"These are troubled times. I feel much more at ease with my sister around."

Concubine Jiang changed the subject, her tone becoming a bit serious.

Lin Qinshuang was startled when she heard this.

She knew that the "troubled times" that Concubine Jiang referred to were the rebellion that Prince Yan was preparing to launch.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to help you."

The three of them chatted about family matters and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Molan sat obediently aside, listening quietly, and occasionally interjecting a word or two, which made Concubine Jiang laugh.

A few days later, news came from the palace.

Concubine Rong was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet in her palace and invited many ladies from the capital. Concubine Jiang and Princess Fuxi Lin Qinshuang were also among the invited guests.

"Your Majesty, the eunuchs from Concubine Rong's palace have come to tell you that Concubine Rong is hosting a flower viewing banquet in her palace and sincerely invites you and Princess Fuxi to attend."

A palace maid hurried into Concubine Jiang's bedroom and reported.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jiang frowned slightly and put down the teacup in her hand.

"Flower viewing party?"

There was a hint of doubt in her tone, and her eyes fell on Lin Qinshuang.

Lin Qinshuang also looked solemn and felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.

Rong Fei usually stays at home and rarely holds banquets. Now she suddenly holds a flower-viewing banquet with great fanfare. There must be something fishy about it.

"Reply to Concubine Rong and tell her that I and Princess Fuxi will definitely go to support her."

Concubine Jiang pondered for a moment and gave instructions to the palace maid.

"Yes, ma'am."

The palace maid accepted the order and left.

"Princess, what do you think?"

Concubine Jiang looked at Lin Qinshuang with a hint of inquiry in her tone.

Lin Qinshuang walked to the window and looked at the blooming flowers outside with a frown.

"My Lady, this may be inappropriate."

Lin Qinshuang spoke in a low voice and looked very worried.

"Rong Fei usually stays out of the world and rarely interacts with others. Now she's suddenly holding a flower viewing banquet. It's really puzzling."

"What's more, the political situation is turbulent now, and Prince Yan and Prince Yong are ready to make moves. We must be on guard against this."

Lin Qinshuang analyzed, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jiang's expression became serious.

She knew that Lin Qinshuang's concerns were not groundless.

"My princess, are you saying that Concubine Rong is holding a flower viewing banquet to create an opportunity for them?"

Concubine Jiang spoke in a low voice, with a cold glint in her eyes.

"I dare not jump to conclusions, but I must be on guard."

"If my suspicions are correct, Concubine Rong's actions are likely intended to cooperate with Prince Yan, creating chaos at the flower viewing banquet and seizing the opportunity to force the emperor to abdicate and plot a rebellion."

Lin Qinshuang's words were shocking, and Concubine Jiang's face changed drastically when she heard them.

"Forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebel?"

Concubine Jiang exclaimed, her eyes filled with shock and fear.

"Princess, is this true?"

Concubine Jiang asked in a trembling voice. She couldn't believe that Concubine Rong was so bold.

"I'm just guessing, but I have to be on guard."

Lin Qinshuang said solemnly, "Your Majesty, we must inform His Majesty of this as soon as possible so that he can make preparations early."

"Okay, I'll send someone to inform His Majesty right away."

Concubine Jiang did not dare to delay and quickly gave orders to the palace maids around her.

Lin Qinshuang returned to her room.

The air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, but it could not dispel the gloom in her heart.

She closed the door, walked to the window, and looked through the carved window frame into the hazy night in the distance.

"Mengmeng, the plot is a little different from what I expected." Lin Qinshuang communicated with the system in her mind, her voice low and calm.

"I didn't expect that Concubine Rong would get involved just like in the original plot."

"There will definitely be a fierce battle on the day of the palace coup."

Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the windowsill, making a crisp sound, just like her beating heart.

"Is there any way to make me stronger quickly?"

The system was silent for a moment, and a mechanical voice sounded in her mind: "Host, you can exchange martial arts and become a master."

A gleam of light flashed in Lin Qinshuang's eyes. She turned around, walked to the table in the middle of the room, and slowly sat down.

"Then please recommend me a martial art."

"Based on the host's current physical condition and the plot development, I recommend that you exchange for the "Spiritual Heart Technique", "Spiritual Sword Technique" and the Spiritual Strength Enhancement Pill."

"The Spiritual Heart Technique was created specifically for women. Practicing requires a peaceful mind and graceful posture. The technique is divided into five levels, each with unique effects and sights."

"The moves of the Lingxi Sword Technique are agile and light, and the sword paths are unpredictable, just like a spiritual connection, which can be understood at a glance. It complements the Lingyou Heart Technique. The sword technique consists of nine styles, each with its own unique artistic conception and power."

"The Spiritual Essence Enhancement Pill was developed for female practitioners. It helps to quickly increase internal strength and elevate the realm of cultivation."
