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

Chapter 404 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 56
The six concubines couldn't wait to leave the palace with their rewards.

The already deserted palace became even quieter. Apart from the two masters, Xiao Yuan and Lin Zhi, there was only the Empress Dowager Huizheng, who had appeared at the empress coronation ceremony and then returned to the Cining Palace and never went out again.

This empress dowager was the queen of the previous emperor, but she was out of favor and had no feelings for Xiao Yuan, who seized power.

Since Xiao Yuan ascended the throne, he has stayed in the Cining Palace and never comes out unless necessary.

Linzhi did not bother her and just focused on preparing for the birth of her baby. It has been more than five months now and the birth date is not far away.

Xiao Yuan went to court every day.

Various natural disasters occurred in the dynasty at this time. In the plot, the male protagonist also used these things to say that God was dissatisfied with the emperor and deliberately spread rumors among the people, making the people believe that the emperor was immoral and that God punished him.

Incite the people to be dissatisfied with Xiao Yuan.

Then when he comes to the throne, he will be the real 'True Dragon Emperor'.

In fact, he did not solve these disasters after he came to power. He just opened granaries in various places and fed the people for a while, and then he ignored them.

The people whose hometowns were hit by disasters still had no choice but to flee everywhere, it was just that the emperor's reputation sounded better.

This time, Xiao Yuan decided to do a good job. He not only opened the granary, but also sent ministers and imperial doctors to solve the problem. He rescued the people affected by the flood. The doctors were responsible for treating them, while they repaired the dam, etc.

The number of civilians who died was half less than in the plot.

After the flood was over, taxes were exempted for three years, and they resumed farming, with grain seeds distributed free of charge by the court.

When the enemy troops in the north of the border came south to rob food, Xiao Yuan was not like Xiao Sheng, who would just repel the enemy and implement the military farming system in the local area, sending some of the people who had suffered disasters and could not make a living in the local area to the border to farm and support the troops.

Kill two birds with one stone: not only the officers and soldiers no longer go hungry, but the civilians no longer go hungry.

By autumn, the enemy troops in the north marched south again. Our dynasty had become strong and powerful, and we defeated them so badly that they dared not to invade.

Xiao Yuan also built schools among the people to cultivate talents.

This move made the court ministers very dissatisfied. After all, as more students from poor families entered the court to serve as officials, the children from prosperous families like them had fewer opportunities, which was damaging their interests.

However, Xiao Sheng's words "Look at how many people there are in the court" left them speechless.

When Prince Rui rebelled, most of the court was implicated. All of them were demoted or exiled. Now there are very few ministers in the court, and only a few can be used. More ministers are really needed.

Just shut up.

After returning, they watched their children at home study. There were few people at home who were able to go to school, but they even had great scholars. Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, they wanted to let Your Majesty see that in the end, it was their people who would stand in the court.

Xiao Yuan didn't care about these things, as long as they didn't object. Besides, maybe in the first two years, these noble people would gain fame and honor, but in five, ten or twenty years, there would be more and more children from poor families.

But these are still too far away, and the policies are just being implemented now.

What he was concerned about now was whether Linzhi could give birth smoothly. In the ninth month, Linzhi finally gave birth, and her painful voice was heard in the room.

Xiao Yuan and others were outside the house, pacing back and forth anxiously, questioning the imperial physician why he was screaming so miserably.

The imperial physician wiped his cold sweat off his forehead. All women have to go through this during childbirth, and there was nothing he could do.

Finally, two hours later, the midwife brought out a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. The baby's face was wrinkled and red, and she said happily, "Your Majesty, it's a little princess!" Xiao Yuan rushed into the room like a gust of wind, ignoring the blood all over the room. Seeing Lin Zhi, who was sweating and pale, he was frightened and said, "Zhizhi! Don't scare me!"

Lin Zhi forced herself to open her eyes and smiled when she saw him: "Your Majesty, I am fine. Have you seen the child?"

Xiao Yuan then remembered the child. Just then, the midwife came in holding the child. Lin Zhi had already known from the system that it was a daughter. Seeing her red skin, she smiled. The redder the skin was at birth, the whiter it would be later. She looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, hold her."

Xiao Yuan froze, at a loss: "I, forget it."

He secretly glanced at the swaddling clothes which were not even as long as his arm. It was so small that he was afraid he might accidentally crush the baby to death.

But is this the child of his own blood? A strange feeling welled up in his heart.

It was as if there was an invisible bond connecting them together.

Lin Zhi knew that he didn't dare, and she didn't insist. She was afraid of accidents during childbirth in ancient times, so she used fifty points to exchange for a body-strengthening pill from the system. Now she was not too tired and played with the child with him.

Or maybe Xiao Yuan was afraid that she couldn't bear it, so he forced her to rest quickly.

When I woke up the next day, the child had already been named: Xiao Jinhe.

She was specially named "Princess Eldest", and was given ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of fertile land, white silk, and a hundred pieces of jewels. She was the most honorable Princess Eldest from birth.

The palace maids and eunuchs smiled and said all kinds of flattering words.

The Queen Mother also came out of the Cining Palace and gave the little princess various gifts including Dongzhu.

A hundred-day banquet was held in the palace and ministers were invited to attend. Lin Zhi appeared in a phoenix robe, holding the child and Xiao Yuan, and accepted the kneeling worship of ministers and their families. The little guy received a lot of compliments from everyone, and she, as a mother, felt embarrassed.

However, Xiao Yuan was very proud and showed off to the ministers while holding his child.

He didn't dare to hug his cute and soft daughter before, and he didn't like children that much. If it weren't for his love for Lin Zhi, he wouldn't have wanted her.

The truth came out after a while. How could he not like Lin Zhi's daughter?

What can the ministers say? His Majesty only favors the Queen, and the Queen's children are naturally the apple of his Majesty's eye.

After the banquet, Linzhi brought her children to meet Aunt Li.

Aunt Li did not come when she was crowned queen, but she came when the princess was born. When she saw her daughter and her granddaughter who was given the title of eldest princess, she could not help but shed tears: "Aunt has heard about everything. His Majesty treats you very well. My son has finally reaped the rewards of all the hardships he has endured." The Lin family was defeated, but Aunt Li was still not used to calling herself Lin Zhi's mother.

Lin Zhi gave the gifts she brought to the little princess and thanked her on behalf of her daughter.

When asked about her situation, Aunt Li said that her parents had been found, and that her parents had not forgotten her over the years and were very happy to see her. Her brother and sister-in-law also treated her kindly and let her live in their home.

Suddenly her face turned red: "Zhi'er, there is something that Auntie wants to hear your opinion on."

Lin Zhi looked over curiously. Aunt Li twisted her handkerchief and said in a low voice, "Your grandfather was worried that I would be alone and miserable, so he said he would find a husband for me." Afraid that she would misunderstand, she hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, but your grandmother was really worried, so I wanted to hear your opinion. If you don't want me to get married, then I won't."

The expression is serious.

But Linzhi could tell that this man should be a good one and Aunt Li was willing.

She said she would not marry just out of consideration for her feelings and said with a smile, "Mother, you don't have to worry about me. I also hope someone can take care of you for me. I wonder if you have met this man and whether he has a good temper..." Then she asked about this man's situation.
