Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

"Besides..." Yu Ziyin's face was filled with determination. "If I am favored, my family will also be in His Highness's sight. In the future, if I can gain a foothold in the Crown Prince's Mansion, I might even be able to help my younger brother join His Highness's faction and become an official under His Highness. This will be worthy of the Liu family blood flowing in my veins!"

Both Rong Mama and Xi Que were once servants of the Liu family. After hearing their young lady's passionate words, they were so moved that their eyes turned red and their bodies trembled.

"I was so foolish! I almost ruined your great plan!" Aunt Rong wiped away the tears from her eyes and looked at Yu Ziyin with respect in her eyes. "Your Majesty, you have sacrificed your reputation for the Liu family and for the young master. If this matter were to reach the ears of the Madam, the Master, and the Young Master, I wonder how happy they would be!"

Xi Que quickly brought out the costume and said, "My Lady, no matter what you want to do in the future, I will never hesitate!"

"So does this old slave!"

404 looked at the two fooled old and young people and marveled at Yu Zinyin's acting skills.

If it hadn't been certain that this person had indeed suffered from cancer throughout her life and died young, it would really have thought that she had studied acting or something.

"Mammy, Xi Que, please don't tell Father, Mother, and Xian'er about these things. I don't want them to worry about this, and this is what I should do."

Yu Ziyin patted the backs of Nanny and Xi Que's hands, her face still showing the image of a weak little white flower.

"Your Highness..." Aunt Rong looked at Yu Ziyin distressedly. Her eyes fell on Yu Ziyin's arm, which was almost healed. Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Tomorrow I will go outside and find a female teacher to teach you, Your Highness."

"Ah."

……

Today is a day off, and Shao Lian didn't sleep the whole night and is still staying in the study.

After Shang Liang delivered the things to Lanyue Pavilion, he came to report that Concubine Liu had a look of joy on her face. If it wasn't too late, she would have come to the study to express her gratitude immediately. This made Shao Lian feel much better after a day of boredom, and he was in high spirits to read the memorials. Then he stayed awake all night.

At this time, Shang Liang took the opportunity to deliver breakfast to Shao Lian. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Your Highness, Rong Mama, who is by Concubine Liu's side, went to Huixi Pavilion early to hire a female teacher. Right now, the female teacher is talking to Concubine Liu in Lanyue Pavilion."

Shao Lian, who was changing his clothes, paused and looked sideways at Shang Liang, his eyes filled with disbelief. "She's really learning?"

Shao Lian was a little surprised.

In his early years, when Shao Lian was learning about opera, he showed his liking for the play "The Drunken Concubine". The officials under him noticed his liking for it and sent this exquisite costume and crown to him as a token of his flattery.

After he accepted it, the costume and crown were put into the warehouse to collect dust. He gave it to Liu Zinyin only because he was in a good mood and remembered that he had not been to Lanyue Pavilion for a while. He wondered if her beautiful eyes had turned red from crying, and whether she would be as sad and pitiful as the imperial concubine who was unable to see the emperor who had an appointment with her.

But he didn't expect that Liu Zinyin would actually put aside her status as the eldest daughter of the Liu family to learn to sing opera.

In fact, now that I think about it, there is a sense of humiliation in the fact that he gave this costume and crown to Liu Zinyin. If she were a woman with a more delicate mind, she would have been in a constant state of panic. How could she have learned it like she did?

Thinking of this, Shao Lian couldn't help but smile.

Do you like him and miss him so much? You're not afraid to lose face.

Shang Liang observed his master and found that the prince was in a good mood. He immediately stroked his hair and said, "I guess the concubine wants to learn it to make your highness happy. Why don't you wait for a while and go and see?"

Shao Lian pondered for a moment, "Then let's wait for a while. During this time, no one else is allowed to go there. Just say that Concubine Liu's injury hasn't healed yet and they are not allowed to disturb her peace."

"Yes... Your Highness, I have another matter, which is also related to Concubine Liu." Shang Liang lowered his head.

"kindness?"

"The eldest lady of the Liu family has already sent a visiting card to Concubine Liu. I'm afraid it's about Lord Cheng's matter. This visiting card has come again today. Your Highness, do you want to inform Concubine Liu?" Shang Liang looked at the person sitting above him.

Cheng Ting is the prince's concern, and Cheng Ting's fiancée is Concubine Liu's elder sister. Shang Liang really doesn't dare to make a decision on his own.

Shao Lian frowned, confusion flashing across his eyes, "Liu Ziyu? Why is she looking for Ziyin at this time?"

Could it be that he wanted his own sister to whisper in his ear at this critical moment?

It shouldn't be that stupid...

But at this sensitive time, what else could Liu Ziyu want to find Ziyin for?

"Perhaps it's because of the deep sisterly love that I agreed to her invitation. However, have someone listen to their conversation for me. If Liu Ziyu came here for Cheng Ting's matter, and Concubine Liu also agreed to help her..." Shao Lian's eyes flashed coldly. He paused and said, "Wait until Miss Liu leaves, then kill all the servants in Lanyue Pavilion. As for Concubine Liu, I'll make plans after I deal with the Liu family who have not been strict in discipline."

Shang Liang lowered his head and said, "Yes."

He was a little surprised in his heart. His Highness didn't attack Concubine Liu directly?

This is not in line with His Highness's temperament. When has His Highness ever picked something up high and put it down so gently?

Yu Zinyin didn't know that her decision might change the fate of all the slaves in Lanyue Pavilion. She was still learning basic skills with the Peking Opera master in front of her. Although her arm, which was almost healed, was still a little sore when she moved, it was not as painful as before.

The Peking Opera master noticed that Yu Ziyin's hand was injured, so he just taught Yu Ziyin to memorize the lines first, and it would not be too late to teach her the body movements after she had memorized them.

What Yu Ziyin was least afraid of was reading and reciting texts. In her previous life, she could only lie in bed and read books all her life. One of her pleasures in killing time was to recite books, so these few lines of opera were nothing to her.

It’s just that the tone needs to be trained by a Peking Opera master.

……

Liu Ziyu sat in her yard with a gloomy look on her face. No matter how the maidservants around her coaxed her, she didn't smile.

Last night, Cheng Ting had his hand bones broken by a villain. If a passerby had not discovered and rescued him, his hand would have been crippled.

Because this incident happened in an alley, Jingzhao Prefecture has not been able to catch the perpetrators until now. Cheng Ting was demoted and his arm was broken right after. This incident caused a lot of uproar and naturally spread to the Liu family courtyard.

Liu Ziyu was certain it was done by those in the court who disliked Cheng Ting. They wanted to take advantage of Cheng Ting's misfortune. What a cruel heart! That was the hand that could write policy essays that would amaze His Majesty and all the civil and military officials! If it was really broken, what would happen if he couldn't hold a pen anymore?

She really wanted to go and see Cheng Ting's injuries, but after learning the news, Liu's father was even more reluctant to let her out, and Liu's mother also banned her from leaving the house, which made her very depressed.

Liu Ziyu's sigh attracted Liu Xian, who had been paying attention to her.

Liu Xian walked in and looked at the dispirited Liu Ziyu, his eyes filled with heartache, "Sister."

Seeing that it was Liu Xian, Liu Ziyu came to his senses and snorted coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Sister, don't be angry. I'm here to apologize to you and cheer you up." Liu Xian came over with Liu Ziyu's favorite cakes and tea, and he sat opposite Liu Ziyu.

"I don't want these things of yours! Take them away!"
