Zhaoyang Palace*
Feng Tianlan raised her eyes to watch the people who were coming and going. Everyone looked at her with contempt. However, because of her identity as the Demon Princess Consort, they didn’t dare to make it too obvious. However, they didn’t talk to her either, as if they were ostracizing her.
Feng Tianlan didn’t take this to heart. Today, Sister Lin would host a banquet. Everyone attending would either be young heiresses or young madams from, several prominent families in the city, and they’d all be of similar age.
After that day, after discussing countermeasures with Xi Jin, Sister Lin decided to host a banquet. Today would be the day Shen Yunya schemed against her, but…
Supported by her confidant Rui’er, Shen Yunya supported her slender waist with one hand. She then slightly stiffened her waist, as if to show off her still small abdomen.
“Sister.” Shen Yunya’s sweet voice sounded harmless. “Why stand here alone instead of talking with the other sisters?” she asked.
Feng Tianlan glanced at her lower abdomen with cold eyes, then said aloofly, “You’re only two months pregnant, right? Why does it look like you’re three months along?”
Shen Yunya’s expression changed, and she quickly put her hand on her waist. Her face turned a little gloomy, and her tone became less friendly as well. “I’m going to talk to the Princess. Sister, want to come along?”
“Then you go carefully, and beware of breaking your waist,” Feng Tianlan replied.
Shen Yunya glared at her, snorted coldly, then ignored her. She might be smug now, but she won’t be able to feel that way in a bit.
Not long after Shen Yunya entered the inner hall, she walked out arm in arm with Xi Lin. They looked very intimate, and Shen Yunya gave Feng Tianlan a provocative look.
Look, everything you once had is now mine!
Xi Lin sat down lazily and casually glanced at everyone. When her gaze finally landed on Feng Tianlan, she looked away. “You can all behave casually tonight, so don’t be too restrained.”
Feng Tianlan frowned, then sat down and quietly held her wine glass. She placed it beside her mouth and tasted it. She didn’t pay attention to the conversations around her.
The people who came tonight were all like open books. The Princess hosted the banquet solely for the purpose of making Feng Tianlan relent and apologize, not to entertain them, so they were all mere spectators.
After all, Shen Qingdai had a very good relationship with Princess Zhaoyang, so even if they were fighting now, they would eventually reconcile.
But the banquet was already halfway through, and Feng Tianlan still hadn’t made any moves yet, so Xi Lin’s expression gradually worsened and the atmosphere became tense.
Shen Yunya watched the atmosphere get awkward as neither of them spoke, and she sneered inwardly. She’ll let them fight it out. The bigger the fight, the better. It would be best for the two to become enemies. After all, it was just a fight, so there was still the possibility of reconciling.
But she knew that with Feng Tianlan’s temperament, it was absolutely impossible for her to compromise, and Princess Zhaoyang was also domineering, so it was even more impossible for her.
However, tonight’s plan must be successful.
Xi Lin rubbed her aching temples, then raised her eyes to look at Feng Tianlan. “Dai’er, I’m a little drunk. Accompany me outside for some fresh air to alleviate the effects of the alcohol.”
“Okay.” Feng Tianlan got up and followed Xi Lin.
Shen Yunya sneered to herself as she watched the two of them leave. Feng Tianlan, it must be uncomfortable to once again be betrayed by your most trusted friend, right?
She felt as if she was seeing it all happen again. When Shen Qingdai died last time, her hateful eyes and the evil curses were just mere jokes in her ears.
No matter what, Feng Tianlan was someone who had suffered defeat at her hands after all. Even if she’s reincarnated dozens of times, she was doomed to be defeated!
