Quick Wear: Explosive Change! The cannon fodder female supporting role is done with it

Chapter 393 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 37-38 (Two in One)

When Meng entered the room, the maid had already cleaned up the fragments on the floor, but there were still traces left. She glanced at her daughter and sat down next to her. Luzhi had already taken the maid away.

Lin Xiruo wondered why her mother came.

Meng had no choice but to tell her what happened in the palace and what Minister Lin said.

Lin Xiruo was stunned: "Dad, do you want me and Lin Zhi to switch back?"

Although it was said bluntly, that was what Minister Lin meant. Mrs. Meng looked at her daughter worriedly, "Your father is doing this for your own good. His Majesty's temperament has changed now. You won't suffer when you enter the palace... If you really don't want to, forget it. At most, you can be more polite to that concubine's daughter in the future."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Meng knew that her daughter liked a modest gentleman like Prince Rui, not a man like Your Majesty. She was unwilling to accept this and her life was like a year of suffering.

Lin Xiruo wanted to say no immediately, but when she heard that Lin Zhi was being polite, her expression changed instantly, and she gritted her teeth: "She is just a concubine's daughter, how can I be polite to her!"

Meng was helpless: "If she really gave birth to a dragon son, all these things would be inevitable in the future."

Lin Xi was speechless, and his expression kept changing.
-
A few days later, the palace banquet began.

Lin Zhi had already lived in Xiao Yuan's palace for a few days. She did not feel any discomfort and felt very comfortable living there. Even the palace maids around her had become familiar with Xiao Yuan's eunuchs.

The harem has been unexpectedly quiet these past few days. No one has come to pay a visit, and the palace is surprisingly well-behaved.

Since no one came to disturb her, she didn't care and felt more at ease.

Xiao Yuan was less intimate with her. When he heard that she might be pregnant, he asked the imperial physician to take her pulse, but after only a few days, he naturally could not see anything.

The imperial physician's forehead was covered with sweat, fearing that the emperor would blame him, but Xiao Yuan did not get angry and only asked him to take good care of her.

Then when I sleep, I just hold the baby in my arms to avoid touching him.

Lin Zhi was originally furious when she learned that he wanted her to drink contraceptive soup, but now seeing how nervous he was, she felt much better. Thinking about the environment he grew up in and that annoying headache, he probably never thought about the future and just lived one day at a time.

So he was spared.

He also told her about the palace banquet, that there would be ladies coming to see him, and she could meet them if she wanted to, or not, and let the palace servants send them away.

The harem is leaderless, and there are only three of the four concubines left. Now that she is favored again, it is natural that she has to pay a visit to them.

On this day, Lin Zhi changed into her concubine's harem, and as expected, ladies from the palace began to come to pay their respects to her. She met them one by one, and was surprised to see Meng and Lin Xiruo among them.

She now lives in the emperor's bedroom, so naturally the ladies of honor have to come here to pay their respects.

Lin Xieruo and Meng looked at the concubine's daughter with complicated expressions as she was being courted by a group of ladies in the court. Now there was no trace of cowardice on her face. She was wearing luxurious palace clothes and had elegant manners, making people respect her.

When faced with the lady kneeling and kowtowing, he was not at all frightened and responded appropriately.

Both of them could hardly remember how the humble concubine had become what she is today. With all sorts of thoughts in their minds, they forgot to perform formal etiquette.

After she reacted, she knelt down and saluted: "I pay my respects to your Majesty."

Meng suddenly realized something was wrong. She turned around and saw her daughter still standing straight beside her, staring at Lin Zhi. People around her looked over with strange expressions.

Someone whispered quietly: "This is the concubine of the Lin family, married to Prince Rui as a concubine, and she didn't even kneel to the queen."

Meng's face changed. She knew her daughter would be like this, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Zhizhi's biological mother has been ill these days, and she has been taking care of her. She is in a trance. Please don't mind." Looking into Linzhi's eyes was to rescue her daughter and to remind her that her biological mother was still in their hands, so she shouldn't make things too ugly.

Lin Zhi's expression changed, and she smiled, "So that's how it is. My sister is sincere, how can I blame her? Mother, please stand up quickly. We are all family, there is no need to kneel down."

The palace maid showed them seats.

Mrs. Meng looked at her daughter and sat down with Lin Xiruo.

The time for audience was limited, and some ladies of honor left one after another, but Meng and Lin Xieruo did not move, and the palace servants also signaled not to let anyone in.

Everyone in the palace was their own people. Before Meng could speak, Lin Xieruo sneered, "You are so powerful in the palace now!"

Lin Zhi looked at her with a calm expression: "What do you mean, sister? But what did I do wrong?"

Lin Xi glanced around and saw that she was dressed even more gorgeously than last time. She sneered and was about to speak, but Meng held her back and looked at Lin Zhi. She said gently, "Zhizhi, your sister is in a bad mood and her words are inevitably harsh. Don't mind it." She smiled and said, "By the way, your biological mother is doing well in the mansion. She has recovered from her cold with the help of the servants."

The smile on her face was like that of a magnanimous mistress.

The lines at the corners of Lin Zhi's mouth flattened. This Meng really said anything without thinking, trying to continue to deceive her.

"Zhizi, mother has something to ask you. Has His Majesty noticed that you and your sister have switched identities?" Meng's eyes fell on her face.

Lin Zhi hesitated and said, "They probably didn't notice it." She wanted to see what they were up to.

Mrs. Meng's face relaxed and she subconsciously looked at her daughter. Lin Xiruo lowered her head and stared at her fingers as if she didn't hear them talking. She smiled and said, "That's good. Mother asked these questions because she was worried about you. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. We have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. If we knew about this, we would definitely not forgive the Lin family."

"Your sister, your father, and your biological mother, I and you will all be beheaded."

Lin Zhi looked frightened and stared at her blankly.

Meng coughed lightly, looked at her daughter again, and said, "This is what I think. You have suffered a lot in the palace recently. Your Majesty must be worried and uneasy when the deadline comes. I see that you have lost weight. Your biological mother sees that you don't go back to visit her, so she always asks the servants about you."

"I feel sad to see you and your daughter separated. After much thought, I think you should switch back."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

Lu Rong and other palace maids looked at her with disbelief on their faces.

Lin Zhi glanced at the frowning and silent Lin Xiruo, then looked at Meng Shi who smiled decently but said such shameless words, and hesitated: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to, but my sister is already with His Royal Highness Prince Rui..."

You've been out of the palace for so long, you must have become Prince Rui's woman, but now you want to continue to enter the palace and become the emperor's consort?
What about face? The more prestigious a person is, the thicker his face is.

Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "I feel sorry for you and your aunt, and I want you to be reunited. As for your sister." She looked at her and said, "You and His Majesty should have gotten together, right? If so, His Majesty never doubted you, so he wouldn't have noticed it if he changed sides."

How could I not notice? The faces were barely 90% similar with makeup, so could the bodies be the same as well?

This is treating Xiao Yuan like a fool.

Then I heard Madam Meng say, "When your sister gets sick and catches a cold, she will go back to Cuiwei Palace to stay for a while. When she loses some weight, she will be similar."

In the emperor's bedroom, both Lin Zhi and the palace maids who heard these words were silent.

How thick-skinned does one have to be to say such a thing? Seeing her silence, Meng's eyes sparkled: "Zhizhi, what do you think?" I think your mother wears bras, one after another, and she helped her daughter escape from the palace before, and now that she is favored by the emperor, she wants to come back again.

During this conversation between the two, Lin Xiruo remained silent, as if she was an outsider.

At this time, a palace servant came outside to report that the time had come and His Majesty wanted Lin Zhi to go to the palace banquet. She smiled and looked at Meng and Lin Xiruo: "Mother, why don't we talk after the banquet?"

In fact, Meng wanted them to change back now, but she also knew that she couldn't push Lin Zhi too hard. There were palace servants watching outside, so she had to smile and say, "Okay, if you change back tonight, you can go back to see Aunt Li later." At the end, she did not forget to use Aunt Li to control Lin Zhi.

I thought Lin Zhi knew nothing and could be used by her.

Lin Zhi's smile deepened, and she was then helped by the palace servants into the inner room to tidy up her clothes. Meng and Lin Xiruo had to go out first and go to the palace banquet on their own.

In the palace, Lu Rong looked at Lin Zhi, "Your Majesty, the Meng family is simply crazy. His Majesty likes you, not Lin Xiruo. How dare they say such things?" Her eyebrows were raised, "They thought you didn't know about the fire in the Lin Mansion."

Except Songzi, no one in Cuiwei Palace knew about Aunt Li's affairs, and they thought she had died in the fire.

More and more people feel that the Lin family is ruthless and does not leave any way out for others.

Lin Zhi looked in the mirror and adjusted the phoenix gold hairpin on the side of her head: "Forget it, let's go to the banquet first."

After leaving the palace, the eunuch led the way. Soon, they saw Xiao Yuan's sedan chair at the intersection. She got off the sedan chair and got on the emperor's sedan chair. Xiao Yuan asked her if she had seen the Lin family? His eyes swept to Lin Zhi's lower abdomen.

Ever since Linzhi said she might be pregnant, he had reacted very calmly, only glancing at her belly from time to time.

Lin Zhi nodded and looked at him with a smile: "Your Majesty, guess what they said?"

Xiao Yuan squeezed her hand and snorted, "Don't worry about what they say." Lin Zhi nodded, but smiled, "They see that Your Majesty treats me well, so they want me to be exchanged with my elder sister. What do you think?"

This was beyond Xiao Yuan's expectation, and his expression immediately showed disgust: "Let her go."

He could no longer remember what Lin Xiruo looked like, but he felt that what she and Mrs. Lin did was disgusting. He sneered, "The Lin family is just a grasshopper after autumn. They won't live long." He looked at her and said, "Don't bother with them."

Lin Zhi smiled and nodded.

They soon arrived at the banquet hall, and Xiao Yuan led her out of the sedan chair.

Inside the hall were court ministers and ladies who were attending the palace banquet tonight. Some of them were close to the door and couldn't help but open their eyes wide when they saw this scene.

Lin Zhi laughed softly: "Is it inappropriate for me to go in with Your Majesty like this?"

Xiao Yuan led her in and said casually, "What's wrong? They are not satisfied."

When the two entered the hall, ministers, ladies of honor, and children all knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor". When it was Lin Zhi's turn, they said "Greetings, Your Majesty". The two sat down at the top, with Lin Zhi's seat just next to Xiao Yuan, looking almost the same as the queen.

All the ministers below understood that His Majesty wanted to make the daughter of the Lin family the queen.

Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Chen, who had arrived earlier, opened their eyes wide. Concubine Zhang, who also got the chance to attend the palace banquet, clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of disbelief and deep reluctance.

The Lin family received the most attention. Minister Lin was like an old fox, with nothing unusual on his face. However, the eldest son of the Lin family had a complicated look in his eyes. He had a good relationship with his sister since childhood. After Lin Xieruo sneaked out of the palace, she frequently returned home to get close to Meng. He had run into her before and naturally recognized that she was his own sister.

Looking at the woman sitting next to His Majesty, it was the first time he saw this concubine sister. She had a gentle temperament. Although she looked somewhat similar to his sister, one could tell at a glance that they were different.

At this moment, he and His Majesty were receiving greetings from all the ministers. He looked dignified and elegant, without any trace of pettiness.

He couldn't help but look at his sister, and saw her staring blankly ahead, then her face sank and a look of humiliation flashed across her face.

He sighed in his heart and knelt down to his half sister. Even he could not remain calm after knowing the truth, not to mention that she was the one who should have enjoyed all this.

He thought that before, he had followed his father's instructions and worked secretly for Prince Rui in order to gain the merit of being a dragon follower in the future. Now, he had no choice but to go all the way and continue to conspire with Prince Rui for great things. Unlike his father who tried to please both sides, he was more optimistic about Prince Rui becoming the emperor.

Various thoughts flashed through the minds of the ministers below. Xiao Yuan asked them to stand up and everyone sat down again.

Mrs. Meng approached her daughter and asked, "Now, are you still unwilling?"

Lin Xieruo pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, but Meng knew that she had listened to her, so she stopped pressing her and looked at her superiors, who were reporting on the major events of the year, the treasury's revenue, the people's harvest, etc., and then looked forward to the new year.

This is a process before the palace banquet every year.

The emperor with a gloomy temperament seemed not to be listening. The palace maid brought wine to the concubine, but he glanced at it and hurriedly took it away. He replaced it with fruit drink. Seeing that the dishes on the table were good, he asked the palace maid to put it in front of her.

All the concubines sitting in the palace seats stared at him with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

The concubine seemed to be accustomed to it. She smelled the fruit drink and gave him a reproachful look. The two of them seemed to whisper something, and the corners of His Majesty's mouth curled up.

Her eyes were deep, and she thought to herself that this concubine's daughter was truly amazing. His Majesty was feared by everyone at that time, and no concubine in the entire harem dared to approach him. Yet, she gained favor not long after entering the palace.

Fortunately, she had used Concubine Li to control her early on, otherwise the concubine would have been rampant today.

Got to change it back as soon as possible.

Lin Zhi felt all kinds of gazes on her. With a smile on her face, she enjoyed Xiao Yuan's feeding while looking down. She was familiar with Lin Xiruo's gaze, and the other one was from King Rui.

As a prince, he sat in the front, holding the wine glass and looking at her meaningfully.

"eat!"

A dish was placed in front of him, and Xiao Yuan's voice rang out.

Lin Zhi turned around and saw him looking at her indifferently: "He's so ugly, why are you looking at him!"

How could the male lead be ugly? Lin Zhi didn't know what to say, but compared to the man in front of her, she was inferior in both appearance and momentum. She smiled and said, "Of course, in my heart, Your Majesty is the most handsome."

Xiao Yuan glanced at her calmly without saying anything, his expression slightly relieved.

The ministers came forward one by one to congratulate each other, and then there was singing and dancing. The atmosphere at the banquet gradually relaxed, and the ministers talked to each other and laughed happily at the banquet. Lin Zhi was not interested in these things, and told Xiao Yuan that he wanted to go out for some fresh air.

Xiao Yuan immediately said that he would go back early with her, since there was nothing to do at the palace banquet anyway.

Lin Zhi glanced at the two ministers who had just left, and saw a few more coming over to talk to him. It seemed that they saw that he was very easy-going tonight, and many ministers took the opportunity to come up and talk to him. He immediately refused, asked him to be a good emperor for a while, and took Lu Rong out for some fresh air.

Here, she had just left, and King Rui and Lin Xiruo also left not far away.

I went to the hospital this morning and finally regained my energy. I will definitely code it out tomorrow!!!
