Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Since becoming wealthy, An Jing rented a quiet, elegantly furnished house. Furthermore, she went to a human trafficker and selected two clever and well-behaved maids and a clever and sensible servant. She left the two maids in charge of her daily life, while the servant was assigned to closely monitor the activities of the prince in the general's mansion.

Coincidentally, under Su Lan's clever arrangement, the servant sent by An Jing went through untold hardships and finally got an important piece of news: it turned out that the male protagonist would be invited to attend a unique wine tasting banquet hosted by Prince Heqin's Mansion in three days.

It was said that the banquet was because the princess had personally brewed a batch of unique plum wine and sincerely invited all the distinguished ladies and noble sons of the capital to come and taste it. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this so-called wine tasting banquet was actually a matchmaking event specially organized by the princess to find a suitable husband for her beloved daughter.

Besides Wang Qingchen, the Nalan Rongruo sisters would also be attending the banquet in their finest attire. Unfortunately, An Jing was just an ordinary commoner. With her status, she wasn't even qualified to set foot in the Prince's mansion.

But in order to get close to her idol and implement her plan, An Jing racked her brains and tried every possible way.

Finally, she spent a large sum of money to bribe the palace's housekeeper and successfully sneaked into the palace to serve as a temporary maid. It is worth mentioning that there was no indenture between her and the palace.

Little did she know that this seemingly clever move would become the beginning of her path to a dead end.

An Jing's real purpose wasn't simply to do her maid's duties. Her real goal was to attract Wang Qingchen's attention with the exquisite modern poetry she had prepared. Then, she would meticulously orchestrate a series of events to bring them into contact.

On the day of the banquet, the whole scene was solemn and lively. Male and female guests sat at different seats, each enjoying the joyful atmosphere brought by the banquet.

Nalan Rongruo, dressed in a resplendent brocade robe, gracefully walked towards the front hall, accompanied by his lovely younger sister. They first respectfully greeted their uncle, displaying the proper etiquette and upbringing expected of children of the royal family. Then, Nalan Rongruo led his younger sister to the back garden, where the female guests gathered.

As she was about to leave, her gaze was drawn to the graceful Wang Qingchen standing nearby. In just a fleeting glance, the deep affection between them was conveyed through their eyes. Words were not needed; they both understood each other's feelings.

At this moment, Su Lan, disguised as a maid, was quietly observing all this. Seeing the deep affection between Nalan Rongruo and Wang Qingchen, her anxious heart finally settled a little. She thought to herself that if she could successfully complete this mission and regain her original identity, then it would be a wonderful thing for Nalan Rongruo and Wang Qingchen to continue their mutual support and loving companionship.

Meanwhile, Nalan Anjing seemed to be more lively and cheerful than before. She cleverly and cleverly learned to say some pleasing and witty remarks, which made the princess and other noble ladies present laugh and roll their eyes.

However, An Jing, as a maid, could only stand far away and help serve the dishes silently, without anyone noticing.

Thinking of this, An Jing couldn't help but feel resentful. She thought indignantly, "That body should have belonged to me! But why did that abominable black cat, Chu Lan, have to interfere? Not only did it steal the opportunity that should have belonged to me, it even forced me into such an ordinary-looking body!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. An Jing was filled with hatred for the black cat. She was also furious and resentful of Nalan An Jing's submissive, uncommitted nature. In An Jing's eyes, Nalan Rongruo treated the imperial sister as little more than a distraction when he had nothing else to do, never showing the slightest bit of genuine love.

Her eyes, full of malice and viciousness, were like an icy arrow shot at Nalan Anjing who was talking and laughing, making the originally relaxed and happy Nalan Anjing feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her body shivered involuntarily.

Nalan Anjing was startled and quickly stopped chatting and looked around vigilantly. Soon, she found the maid who was staring at her.

At the same time, Nalan Rongruo, who had been paying attention to the surrounding movements, also noticed An Jing's presence. However, just as they were about to take action, Su Lan secretly signaled them to hold back their impulses and wait for An Jing to make the first move and reveal a flaw.

Although most of the heroine's halo has now quietly transferred to Nalan Rongruo, the little bit of the remaining protagonist halo can still provide her with a certain degree of protection and blessing.

Before long, those distinguished ladies began to walk into the back garden in twos and threes. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and had exquisite makeup, and their every move and gesture showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Seeing that the number of guests had almost reached the banquet hall, the princess gracefully stood up, smiled, and loudly announced the official start of the banquet. She then walked gracefully to the main seat and took a seat with a dignified and graceful demeanor. The two princesses followed closely behind, sitting on either side of her. The princess, naturally, took the first seat on the left.

The concept of hierarchy is quite important in this small world. As a maid, Su Lan only stands behind Nalan Rongruo. As for serving the two princesses, there is naturally no need for her as a bodyguard.

The atmosphere at the banquet was lively, with laughter and joy. However, when time came to the much-anticipated segment – ​​wine tasting and poetry writing – the whole place suddenly became quiet.

This part of the banquet has always been the best moment to show the talents of the guests, especially for those young and beautiful female guests. If they can create an excellent poem, it will not only be circulated in the front hall for the adults to read and appreciate, but it is also likely to make them famous.

The princess smiled, her eyes radiating as she scanned the audience. She said softly, "Since we're drinking this fragrant and delicious plum wine, why don't we each compose a poem using the words 'plum' and 'wine' as our themes?"

After saying this, she glanced at the talented princess beside her, and they nodded in understanding. It turned out that long before the banquet began, the princess had secretly discussed with the princess that she would give up writing poetry at this moment, so as to give her daughter a chance to make a name for herself and find a husband.

However, the renowned Second Princess, Nalan Rongruo, did not step out to write poetry as everyone had hoped. She simply sat quietly in her seat, leisurely savoring the wine in her glass, as if she had no interest in the poetry recitation competition at all.

At this moment, An Jing, who had been standing beside a noble lady and observing silently, could not help but feel anxious. Seeing the other women pick up paper and pen, carefully composing and writing, and then reciting their poems one after another, An Jing secretly groaned inwardly.

She had originally hoped to make a splash with the help of the Tang and Song poems in her memory and turn her fate around, but now it seems that the situation is not as smooth as she imagined.

So, completely disregarding all so-called etiquette, she suddenly reached out and snatched the paper and pen from the noble lady's hand. She gripped the pen tightly and began to write on the paper with a slightly unfamiliar hand. The handwriting was twisted and crooked, like the footprints left by a child who had just learned to walk.
