When Britney arrived at Lishi’s door, fortunately, there was no one guarding the door.
But Britney couldn’t open the door easily.
The friendly conversation coming from inside the room blocked Britney’s path like a barrier.
“Wow, Lishi. You’re so beautiful.”
“This one?”
“It’s beautiful, beautiful. Especially this line from the shoulder to the back….”
“Oh, it tickles, Nella.”
“Brother would fall over if he saw, really.”
Britney gritted her teeth. She remembered what happened in the restaurant.
Jen and Nella, who treated Britney as if she didn’t exist, were conversing in Lishi’s room as if they were close friends of Lishi.
‘Should I go back?’
But she wanted to verify. Whether Teoreth had really come.
Britney took a deep breath and composed her expression.
An expression of a sister who loves, worries, and cares for her younger sister.
She failed at the restaurant, but she would not fail today.
Knockknock
At the sound of the knock, the conversation inside stopped abruptly.
The door opened and Christina stuck her face out.
“I came to see Lishi.”
“Oh, just a moment.”
Christina closed the door.
Britney stared at the closed door.
Dare to close the door in front of me.
When the door opened a moment later, Britney had a graceful smile on her face.
“Please come in.”
Christina opened the door and stepped aside.
As Britney entered, she took in the sight spread out in the room’s living area.
Numerous dresses scattered everywhere.
And a smallframed woman with short blue hair and red hornrimmed glasses.
It was really Teoreth.
Britney sucked in her breath and turned her head towards Lishi.
Lishi was wearing a black dress of fluttering material, a thin material dress that looked like she was hardly wearing anything.
The back of the dress was open, revealing her pale and fine back, and the black cloth made Lishi’s white skin stand out even more.
“What’s the matter?”
Jen, who had been standing by Lishi’s side like a maid holding a dress, asked in an almost casual tone, but Britney did not wipe off her graceful smile.
“I came to have a chat with my sister, but I didn’t know she was this busy.”
“Oh. As you can see, we’re busy.”
Jen gave her a look that said, if you know, go away, but Britney pretended not to understand and said,
“It looks like you’re fitting a dress for the wedding. But that dress seems a bit risque for a wedding. Lishi, are you still only insisting on such dresses?”
Lishi only responded with a thin smile.
‘I never insisted on such dresses,’ was a more upsetting response than arguing.
If she claimed she hadn’t insisted, ‘You always did.’ would have been made into various stories.
“What’s wrong with this dress? Doesn’t it go well with Lishi? It looks very beautiful to my eyes.”
Nella said.
“Of course it’s beautiful. Whatever our Lishi wears suits her well. Because her face is such a treasure.”
“That’s what I’m saying. We’ve tried all the dresses Teoreth brought, and there’s not one that doesn’t suit her.”
“I’ve never felt as satisfied making clothes as I do today. I’d love to give all the dresses here as gifts. If Miss Iris wore them, it would be a tremendous promotion.”
At Teoreth’s words, Britney felt a tightness in her ribs. But she didn’t show it.
“Oh, Teoreth is already famous. But if you give them as gifts, it will be a great thing for our Lishi. Lishi really likes these expensive dresses. Thanks to her, I also got to wear a lot from Lishi.”
Again, Lishi only responded with a smile.
‘Yes, do as you please.’ That was her attitude.
Jen, Nella, and Teoreth and her entourage knew enough about the strange psychological warfare between women. Therefore, they noticed the thorns hidden in Britney’s words, but Britney was unaware of that fact.
“But I’m a little…… I’m worried, Lishi. It’s good if the wedding is luxurious, but you’re now the lady of the Green Family. It’s not good to waste like when you were a virgin. So, about that……”
Britney looked back at Jen and Nella.
“We will pay for the costs Lishi uses for the wedding from our Withlow Duke’s House.”
It was an empty promise.
It was natural for the male side to pay for the wedding costs, and she was sure the Green Family would not reach out to their inlaws.
She probably expected a response like, ‘Hey, how can you do that? We appreciate the thought anyway.’
“That’s a good idea, sister.”
Until now, Lisi, who hadn’t said a word, finally opened her mouth.
At the unexpected response, Brittany’s eyes widened in surprise.
Lisi was still smiling.
“Anyway, I was worried because my husband spends too much money, but if our family takes responsibility for the cost of the wedding on my behalf, there could be nothing better. Please thank my mother and father.”
Brittany was flustered because things weren’t going as expected.
She thought the best thing to do was tell her, ‘Yes, we will. But since we’re married, don’t waste too much from now on,’ but she couldn’t even say that.
There were dozens of dresses in this room alone.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
