Although Lin Yuan claimed she wasn't jealous, her actions made it unmistakably clear: Want to look at other women? Dream on!
From the moment Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng appeared in the hall, they became the center of attention. Now, with their playful banter and laughter, they naturally stole the spotlight in the palace.
However, while some were envious and others jealous, very few harbored open hostility.

Now that it was Lin Yuan instead, their chances were even slimmer.
A few people, gathered in small groups of twos and threes, whispered about Su Qiuyu. Despite their lowered voices, Lin Yuan could still hear fragments of their conversation, which piqued her curiosity. She wondered what kind of appearance Su Qiuyu would make later.
