997 Chapter 997 “Building Connection“
"Li’er, you are so kind. Mother will invite you often to the palace" the empress was once again really satisfied with Li Shi Ying’s action. This girl knew how to curry favour. Look she even already planned to get support from these ladies’ family as well!
"Thank you, imperial mother. I’ll bring a lot of delicious sweets every time I come" Hearing the empress called her with a nickname, Li Shi Ying couldn’t be happier. The empress even called herself ’mother’ doesn’t this mean she already get her full favour?
She thought that this empress would be stubborn and refuse to acknowledge her despite whatever she did but it wasn’t the case at all. The empress knew what would benefit her and didn’t hesitate to change her mind. Really shameless cunning and actually kinda frightening.
"If you have time don’t forget to come to my manor too. I’ll give you a lot of things you might haven’t seen in the lower realm" The lady in pink immediately asked Li Shi Ying to come to her manor too. If this girl could bless her family then she won’t mind asking her father, the prime minister to support this girl.
"Of course, I’ll be happy to visit" Li Shi Ying secretly cheers knowing that the girl in pink was the daughter of the prime minister. She already does a background check on a few high-ranked ladies in the Long Kingdom so she knew who these ladies were.
Their family support would benefit her in the end! To be the empress she had to embrace a lot of official’s support. At first, Yan Fenghuang got an advantage since she befriends these ladies.
But now these ladies saw that she was more useful than Yan Fenghuang...they all turned their back. It’s typical things nobles do. Only befriends someone with benefit.
Well Yan Family itself was already strong, to begin with without these ladies support. Yan Fenghuang was the daughter of a famous general of the Long Kingdom, her father was the hero of this kingdom but it doesn’t mean Yan Fenghuang’s father was the only general in the kingdom.
Took an example that girl in blue, her father was also a popular general of the Long Kingdom. He was also someone from an influential family in the kingdom.
Not only generals or prime minister, in fact, but there was also a lot of other influential families, for example, that girl in purple. Her family was the kingdom’s state preceptor, some kind of the high priest or something.
Her family had a large influence on the commoner dragons because of their divination and the trust the emperor had in their family. She had to get the support from this family too!
Not to mention the girl in green, she was the daughter of the best doctor in the whole kingdom. This girl’s father was a royal physician and also was the one who saved the empress life in the past when she was poisoned.
This girl...is an important existence because the poisoning incident has something to do with this body’s parents.
Li Shi Ying noted in her heart that she would need this girl in green’s help one day. She just had a feeling that the fact her parents were the one who made the poison would one day come to the surface. At that moment Yan Fenghuang would use every means to frame her.
This girl in green would be her sole helper then.
"Me too! Do come to my manor" The girl in blue didn’t want to lose to the girl in pink. She immediately asked Li Shi Ying to come to her manor. This girl is useful for her family! She couldn’t lose connection with this girl.
"P-please come to my manor too. I have a lot of herbs good for your beauty" The girl in the green dress despite being a little shy, also tried to invite Li Shi Ying. She would ask this girl where she got those rare herbs. Maybe she could get someone to get it for her.
"Thank you, girls. Just give a formal invitation to the crown prince’s residence. I’ll make sure to attend" Li Shi Ying smiled happily already achieved her purpose in coming to this tea party.
The first obstacle is cleared. Now unto the next level!
The ladies were chatting with Li Shi Ying trying to build a connection with her knowing that the girl would be the crown princess when suddenly the female guard announced someone’s arrival startling everyone.
"His highness the crown prince is here!" The female guard shouted making all the ladies turned their head toward the entrance of the garden.
The crown prince? His highness Long Ao Zhen?
The ladies immediately became silent the moment they heard the announcement. All of them tried to look good even though they knew the man already had a consort. That’s just girls natural instinct wanting to look pretty in front of handsome guys.
Yan Fenghuang wasn’t an exception. She was so happy that Long Ao Zhen came. Could it be he came for her? It must be!
She had been feeling down since that b*tch stole her thunder and gained support from both the empress along with the ladies. That fox is just too cunning but now...brother Long is here! He must be here to meet her. Li Shi Ying might be a fake consort or something, right?
Yan Fenghuang became extremely delusional because of her chaotic heart. She thought that Long Ao Zhen was here for her.
