The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

"But he is just an actor, performing in front of the Queen Mother."

Cheng Jiayao said with certainty, isn't this kind of woman just selling her body and performing arts?

Er Yue nodded, "That's right! How can she compare to the young lady? She is born in a humble family, but she can be liked by the princess. Princess Anle is used to being rebellious. She actually brought such a person to the Queen Mother. It's strange that the Queen Mother didn't get angry and tolerated her so much."

Cheng Jiayao stroked her forehead and said, "That's because she's just an opera singer."

"Think about it, actors perform and we just listen to them. Who would care about an insignificant person? She is worse than a servant. She should leave after the performance."

"I think Princess Anle is using her to please the Queen Mother because she is a good singer."

"The Queen Mother was satisfied. She must have praised Princess Anle for her filial piety. Your Majesty thought the Queen Mother was praising a little actor."

February suddenly realized, "Miss, you are absolutely right."

"That's a very logical analysis. I also think that this actress is of the lowest class. Why would the Queen Mother bring her to the fore? The Marquis must have heard it wrong."

"Your Majesty must have heard it wrong."

Er Yue was very happy, "This Marquis is really something, why does he praise Concubine Lin so much? She is just an actress from a brothel."

Cheng Jiayao sighed, "I don't know either."

"Alas, now my father-in-law doesn't like me, my husband ignores me, and only my mother-in-law treats me well."

"I'm afraid I can only gain his approval if I try my best to serve my father-in-law."

Er Yue comforted her, "What if the Marquis praises her again? I am still a concubine after all. Once a concubine, I will be a concubine for life. And young lady, you are the mistress of the Marquis's mansion and the future person in power."

"Besides, it's not certain whether the prince likes her now. He has been going to the brothel every day for the past half month. Do you think that when Aunt Lin comes back, she will make trouble?"

"It's going to be a good show!" February laughed out loud.

Cheng Jiayao's eyes flashed with smug joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, "She was able to suppress me only because she relied on the favor of the prince. Now that the prince doesn't love her anymore, what can she do?"

……

Received the Queen Mother's decree to stay in the palace.

Lin Qianqian was struggling over whether or not to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. The several hundred taels of silver she had earned before was still in a small box in her room, and she had to take it out.

Where can she go without money along the way?

Also, she had to use the silver to secretly get the pass.

However, she was afraid that she would inevitably get entangled with Gu Huai. If she was targeted by the heroine, she would be in trouble if her escape plan was exposed, even though she was so smart.

Lin Qianqian returned to the Marquis' Mansion in trepidation, but before she even entered her own courtyard, she was called away by the Marquis.

She walked into the room and bowed to the Marquis, "Hello, Marquis."

"Sit down."

The Marquis glanced at her calmly and said, "You have been staying in the princess's mansion for more than half a month. It seems that the princess likes you very much?"

Lin Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "It's also because Her Royal Highness is magnanimous and tolerant of me. After a conversation, I found that the two of us can chat well."

The Marquis smiled, "It's a good thing that we can chat and have common topics."

"When you are with the Princess and the Queen Mother, you can't just think about pleasing her, you should also think about mentioning Gu Huai and talking about his strengths."

When Lin Qianqian heard this, her eyes rolled and she immediately understood.

She nodded, "I understand, my lord."

The Marquis smiled and asked, "Do you really understand?"

"Ok!"

"He is indeed a smart man." The Marquis praised him very much.

Lin Qianqian understood that the meaning was that she was asked to say more good things about Gu Huai in front of the Princess and the Queen Mother to make her presence felt.

A big family has a lot of wives and concubines, so there are many children from aristocratic families. There are only a few who can stand out and be named. If the emperor wants to entrust important tasks and give newcomers opportunities to exercise, then it is just a matter of competing with their fathers.

Among these playboys, it is particularly important to have your name remembered by the emperor.

The princess and the queen mother were close to the emperor. When Gu Huai was mentioned in daily conversation, they must have remembered him.

If he said a few more compliments, saying that he was hardworking, intelligent, and good at riding and shooting, even if the emperor had never seen him riding and shooting, his impression of him would have become "hardworking" and "good at riding and shooting" in the words of those around him.

Once there is a need for war, he will occupy an important option in the multiple-choice question and is very likely to be entrusted with an important task.

The Marquis did not think there was anything wrong with Lin Qianqian's performance in front of the Queen Mother. All the talk about being in the spotlight and violating moral standards was false.

Everybody knows her.

When people talk about her, they all say she is Master Gu's concubine.

Mention Prince Gu first, then talk about her.

If she won the favor of the empress dowager, she would inevitably mention her son when she talked to her about family matters.

She was not just a small concubine, but Gu Huai's "living signboard".

The more she was liked by the Princess and the Queen Mother, the more chances his son would have to succeed.

A concubine who is deeply loved by a big shot is much better than satisfying a man's desires in the backyard.

"You've worked hard in the princess's mansion these past few days."

"This silver is a reward for you."

After the Marquis finished speaking, the maid Zhu'er beside him walked up to Lin Qianqian with a mahogany box and opened it, revealing rows of glittering silver ingots.

This white color is so beautiful!

Lin Qianqian's eyes widened.

"Thank you, Mr. Hou!"

She took the box and thanked him quickly.

In fact, the princess also rewarded her with a golden hairpin and some valuable jewelry after the banquet.

By this calculation, her wallet became a little fatter.

There is enough money to leave!

Lin Qianqian hummed a little tune and returned to her courtyard. On the way, she opened the box and looked at it several times.

Get rich, get rich!

With this money, could she start a small business or buy a piece of land or a house?

She really wants to have a house of her own.

The scene of the last quarrel with Gu Huai still seems vivid in my mind.

If she had her own house, she could leave with a clear conscience after a quarrel, instead of being forced to bow her head under someone else's roof.

When Lin Qianqian came back, she asked Taozhi to pack some clothes, saying that she wanted to take them to the palace for easy changing later.

Seeing Lin Qianqian holding her own small treasury and sitting behind the tent to quietly count it, she said, "Miss, do you want to bring some silver too?"

Lin Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the rules in the palace are very strict. If you are not careful, you will offend people. This money is for bribing the maids and eunuchs."

Taozhi sighed when she heard this, "That's right, you need money even in the Marquis' Mansion, not to mention in the Imperial Palace. Auntie, please bring more. If it's not enough, I still have some private money here, take some with you."

Lin Qianqian smiled and shook her head, "How can I take your money? Don't worry, I have enough money."

Taozhi folded Lin Qianqian's clothes into a small square and put them in her bag. She then asked, "What if it's not enough?"

"Auntie, can you please ask someone to quietly pass on the message and send you some silver?"

Lin Qianqian was touched by Taozhi's kindness and said, "I don't know either."

"This is my first time in the palace, so I should be able to do it."

Lin Qianqian took out a beautiful gold hairpin from the jewelry box and touched the handmade gold filigree on it.

Once I leave this time, I’m afraid I’ll never see Taozhi again in this life.

She was very grateful for her care during this time.

This hairpin given by the princess should be kept as her dowry.

No, who says a woman must get married? Men may not be reliable, but money is a must. She should write a letter to explain it to her.

"Yo! Back!"

The little girl suddenly poked her head out from outside the door and stretched her neck to look inside.

Then he came in with a smile and said, "You are back from the princess's mansion? Why didn't you tell me so that the prince could pick you up!"

Lin Qianqian glanced at her calmly and said, "I can come back by myself, why do I need him to pick me up?"

The smile on Xiao Xiao's face disappeared instantly. She looked at Lin Qianqian with sympathy, "You are so stupid. Why did you go to the princess's mansion for such a long time? The prince has been to the brothel every day for the past half month."

"If you don't stop him, he will really go find someone else."
