The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

Shi Lidie understood what the emperor meant——

Those in power seek to maximize their benefits.

The emperor told her to come to the palace for help if she had any problems. Although the emperor loved her, in the final analysis, as a king, he wanted to exercise checks and balances.

Take the assassination of Shi Lidie for example.

If Shi Lidie had brought the three men in black to the palace for help and obtained confessions from them as soon as possible, the emperor would not only deal with Xuanyi Tower, but would even find a way to make the Earl of Loyalty and Brave suffer a great loss.

It is even possible to set up a trap to entrap all the powerful people in the capital and achieve the balance that the emperor wants.

In this way, it would not be like now, where just a nanny is sent in.

"Your Majesty, I understand. I will tell you everything from now on." Shi Lidie was very tactful.

She knew who the biggest backer was in feudal society.

Especially since this emperor was not incompetent, he could even be called wise. Shouldn't she curry favor with such a king?

The emperor was very satisfied with Shi Lidie's attitude. He waved his hand:

"Okay, you go back first."

After Shi Lidie took her leave, she returned to her county lord's mansion.

Not long after, the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivered the rewards, which were all gold, silver and jewelry. Although tacky, they were practical and very face-saving.

Along with the reward came a woman.

She tied her hair into a high ponytail, wore a black outfit, and looked like a martial artist, looking very capable and neat.

"Greetings to the county princess. I'm Wen Tan, and I'm here to protect the county princess at the order of Your Majesty." The woman knelt on one knee in front of Shi Lidie and saluted.

"Are you Wen Tan?" Shi Lidie was surprised and quickly helped him up.

"Does the county lady know me?" he asked.

"I don't know him, I just like this name very much." Shi Lidie smiled.

But she was thinking:

She knew him! She knew him too well!

Wen Tan! The only woman among the royal secret guards! Her kung fu skills are amazing, no worse than other male secret guards.

In the original plot, the third prince later became the crown prince, and Fang Ruoruo became the crown princess. The third prince was worried about Fang Ruoruo's safety, so he asked the emperor to give Wen Tan to Fang Ruoruo as a guard.

After that, Wen Tan went from being a powerful female secret guard to a maidservant beside Fang Ruoruo.

But Fang Ruoruo originally had a personal maid named Hongyu. She didn't know Wen Tan's background and just thought she was an ordinary maid sent by the third prince.

Therefore, Hongyu was afraid that Wen Tan would snatch her position in front of Fang Ruoruo and replace her as the confidant of the future queen, so she suppressed Wen Tan openly and secretly.

Wen Tan was a female secret guard who was taught the skills of killing and protecting people. How could she have ever seen such a cunning inner house struggle?

She was not good at speaking and did not like to explain. Finally, she was instigated by Hongyu, who said that she wanted to kill Fang Ruoruo. So the Third Prince adhered to the principle of rather killing someone by mistake than letting the guilty go, and directly ordered Wen Tan to be executed.

When Shi Lidie saw this plot, she felt deeply moved:

Wen Tan was a girl who fought her way to the top among men and acquired skills that were no less capable than any man's. She finally had her chance to shine, but she died in such a ridiculous palace fight.

In the past, she could only sigh at the paper people in the book, but now, Shi Lidie can finally do what she wants.

So, she said to Wen Tan:

"You are more than capable of protecting the emperor. Asking you to protect me is really a waste of talent. But since the emperor has given you to me, you are considered a member of my county lord's mansion. You will follow me in the future, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

After saying this, she took out ten taels of silver from her purse and handed it to Wen Tan.

“This is…” Wen Tan was confused.

"Reward, the reward for protecting me. There will be more in the future." Shi Lidie smiled and said, "Take it. Who would dislike too much money?"

Wen Tan was silent.

Wen Tan accepted it.

She really needed money. Although this new master seemed a little unreliable, she was very generous with money. She gave her ten taels of silver at once, which was equivalent to half a month's salary for her.

From this moment on, Wen Tan decided that in order to get this valuable reward, she must ensure that her new master lives well, makes more money, and gives her more bonuses!

Seeing this, Shi Lidie couldn't help but smile, hiding her achievements and fame.

Fortunately, with the support of the original plot, she knew that Wen Tan liked money, otherwise she really didn’t know how to win people’s hearts!

Now, with the expert Wen Tan here, she doesn't have to worry about assassinations. If someone tries to assassinate her in the future, she won't have to waste points and talismans. Having Wen Tan is enough.

Shi Lidie was not used to having a maid around her, and usually only brought Fennel with her in certain occasions where a maid was necessary.

But now, for her own safety, she had to take Wen Tan with her at all times. As for Hui Xiang, she stayed in the County Lord's Mansion and became the housekeeper, taking care of the affairs of the mansion for her.

That day, Shi Lidie brought Wen Tan to the tavern to continue her wine-making business.

At this time, a man who looked like a housekeeper came in and said to Shi Lidie:

"Greetings to County Lady Yun'an. I am the steward of the Earl of Gaochang's residence. I am here today on the orders of my master to send an invitation to County Lady Yun'an. I hope that the County Lady can come to the Earl of Gaochang's residence on the fifth day of next month to attend the eldest lady's coming-of-age ceremony."

"In addition, we are going to hold a banquet next month, so we need a large quantity of good wine. The master wants to place an order with Yun'an County Lady. Five hundred jars, I wonder if it can be delivered to the mansion before the fifth day of next month?"

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he handed the post in his hand over.

Shi Lidie finished reading the post and said with a smile:

"The Earl of Gaochang is so bold that they dare to invite me to the banquet? You should have heard about what happened in the Marquis of Wu'an before. Let me be frank. If there are any blind people who want to challenge me again this time, I will not show mercy."

"If there is trouble and your young lady's coming-of-age ceremony is disrupted, and your Gaochang Earl's Mansion loses face, don't blame me, right?"

The butler pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly and said:

"You are joking, Lady Yun'an. Please give me a definite answer whether you are going or not."

"Go ahead, the post has already been posted, why shouldn't I go?" said Shi Lidie.

Fang Ruoruo would definitely go to such a large banquet, as it would be a good opportunity to make some money. She hasn't earned any points for a long time since she sent Grandma Gao to jail!

It's really sad to say, after arriving in Beijing, she didn't meet the male and female protagonists very often, and didn't communicate much with important supporting roles, so the number of times she could take advantage of them was greatly reduced.

If the points she earned each time were not considerable enough, she would even feel that the effort she put in was not proportional to the reward!

The butler heard her answer, smiled and nodded, and asked again:

"The five hundred jars of wine..."

"We have accepted the order. Come, sign the contract first and then pay the deposit. We will deliver the wine to you before the fifth day of the New Year." Shi Lidie took out the contract that had been written long ago and handed it over.
