Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Joint Calculation(5)_1

"Ah." Xique, sharp-eyed as she was, had just set the candle on the table when she turned around and noticed a sharp little dagger stuck in the pillar, with a note attached to it.

"What are you screaming for? Hurry and fetch it." Li Yanran was frightened too, but for some reason, she managed to calm herself down.

Xique fearfully went over and exerting all her strength, she managed to remove the small dagger from the pillar. Then she handed the trembling note to Li Yanran.

Li Yanran took the note and held it close to the candle to read. By the time she finished reading, a sly smirk appeared on her lips.

Good. No matter who sent the message, as long as it could get rid of Lin Ziyin, she was willing to risk her life for the opportunity. What she couldn’t have, Lin Ziyin was not allowed to have either.

The next day, Chu Suifeng was up early. Lin Ziyin also wanted to get up, but he held her down. "It’s cold outside, and there will be visitors coming to the residence today, so you need to stay here."

"The old madam..." Lin Ziyin was uneasy.

"Nothing will happen for a while." Chu Suifeng leaned over and kissed her blushing cheek, "Just rest at home. If you need something, instruct the servants. As for the visiting guests, you can dismiss them at your pleasure."

"Hmm." Lin Ziyin giggled when kissed, hiding in the thick of the quilt.

Her squirrel-like expression made Chu Suifeng finally break into laughter, "Have a good meal after you get up. I may not make it back by noon."

"Oh." Lin Ziyin agreed and couldn’t help but remind him, "Prince, you must not skip your meal at noon."

"I won’t." Chu Suifeng kissed her lips again and then left satisfactorily.

Unable to fall back asleep after Chu Suifeng’s disturbance, Lin Ziyin simply got up.

The women in the residence did not dare to bother her at will. Though her breakfast was slightly plain, it was peaceful. Under the watchful eyes of the nurse, she actually ate quite a bit.

"Madam, Lady Mei has sent a card over." After her meal and practicing a set of exercises in the courtyard, the visitors began to arrive one after the other.

Lin Ziyin was prepared. As the hostess of the Prince, she was obligated to assume corresponding responsibilities. The females from various official’ households in Feng City would inevitably come to visit her, the newly promoted princess.

In fact, she had also made a lot of preparations behind the scenes.

"Please lead her to the flower hall." Lin Ziyin’s body felt warm, and Qiaoqiao hurriedly put a cloak on her.

Wearing a white-bordered tiger skin cloak, she looked majestic.

The word "indomitable" was the first impression Lady Mei got when Lin Ziyin entered the room.

"I greet the Princess." Lady Mei heard Lin Ziyin’s name from her husband, Mei Hanqing’s mouth several times, each time with unveiled admiration.

To be honest, although she had seen Lin Ziyin before, she had never really interacted with her. Bringing her daughter-in-law to visit today, she was truly a little worried.

"Lady Mei, young lady, please sit down." Lin Ziyin said casually, without any pretense.

"Isn’t the young lady due to give birth soon?" Noticing Lady Mei’s daughter-in-law’s protruding belly, Lin Ziyin quickly found a topic.

Offspring was always a topic that warms up friendship among women. As expected, when she brought it up, the faces of Lady Mei and the young lady softened.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess, I’m in my seventh month now." The young lady’s surname was Yin, Lin Ziyin had done some research on the noble ladies who frequented the capital. Mrs. Yin appeared gentle, but her eyes were sharp.
