Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Yu Fangfang was also brainwashed by her aunt and has great resentment towards her stepmother and step-sister. She thinks her stepmother is hypocritical and her step-sister is indifferent. Now she brings her and fourth sister Yu Zixi out to participate in the big scene. Is she trying to use these two supporting roles to highlight the uniqueness of her daughter, Yu Zinyin?

She remembered that before she came, her aunt told her to find a man who looked rich and strike up a conversation with him, so that she would have a chance in the future. Otherwise, if she did nothing and just waited for her stepmother to find a marriage for her, she would be doomed to fail and would not be able to help her only brother. Then she would have no one to rely on when she returned to her parents' home in the future. How could that be possible?

Yu Fangfang let out a breath, strengthened her heart, and kept glancing towards where the gentlemen were gathered. Like Yu Zixi beside her, she looked at those people. Moreover, because they were young and could not hide their purpose, their gazes towards the men were much bolder and more explicit than those of some young ladies next to them.

Moreover, at such a young age, they had always stayed in the backyard and had never come out. Everything they saw and heard was told to them by the concubines. Their perception was even less than that of some maids. How could they tell whether the other person was rich or powerful? They could only judge based on their intuition. So sometimes, they would both think that a young man from a lower-class family would be better because he seemed humorous and witty, making people feel close to him. Without thinking too much, they would approach and start a conversation.

The two maids who had been watching the two noticed this situation. They frowned and looked at each other. If the two young ladies had not just gone up to discuss poetry with each other and did not do anything else excessive, they would have rushed up to take them away. But then the two of them thought about it again and felt that they had to tell the mistress, so one of them quietly walked to the women's seat to find Madam Yu.

No matter what kind of banquet it is, men and women sit on separate sides.

The hostess would sit at the highest seat, holding a folding fan, and appreciate flowers and trees with female guests of the same class and age, chatting and laughing.

Madam Yu was the wife of the right prime minister, and she sat next to the hostess. While the two of them were chatting happily, there were many other wives of officials fawning over them. Madam Yu could handle it easily. Yu Zinyin was not here at this time, but went into the flower hall to have tea and chat with young ladies of the same age.

The nanny knew she couldn't go forward and disturb them at this time, so she only told the Madam's personal nanny about the matter. Nanny Wang frowned after hearing this, "I understand. You two must keep a close eye on them. If the two young ladies do anything out of line, it won't just be the reputation of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion that will be ruined, but the young ladies' reputation will also be affected."

"Yes."

After everyone was seated, Nanny Wang took the opportunity to tell Madam Yu about this matter while pouring tea for her.

Madam Yu's eyes flashed with displeasure. These two girls, don't they realize what kind of occasion this is? Have they learned all the rules for women? Someone who didn't know would think they were desperate to get married. They're clearly the daughters of the Right Prime Minister's family, and their status is noble. Why are they being so shameful? When she gets back, she's going to punish these two.

"Have them keep a close eye on it. If they neglect it and the young ladies do something stupid, I won't let them off."

"Old slave understands."

In the flower hall, not only young ladies are entertained, but also young gentlemen. They can drink tea and discuss poetry with each other, listening to the melodious music of the piano. They can also observe closely or approach and talk with interesting people. At this time, no one will say that this is a bad thing, because everyone will only talk about some poetry, songs and hobbies to determine whether the other party is suitable for themselves, and there are servants around, so there will be no trouble.

Prince Li Heng's gaze remained fixed on the woman in a maroon veil that accentuated her snow-white skin. His eyes were filled with astonishment at her beauty. Chen Jingchi, standing beside him, called out to him several times before Li Heng came to his senses. Even so, he couldn't escape Chen Jingchi's teasing. He chuckled softly, "Your Highness, why don't you go up and speak to the Right Prime Minister's daughter?"

The prince is a member of the royal family, so naturally he has to be accompanied by the host family. But it is also because Chen Jingchi, the prince and the other princes all attended the Royal Academy, so their relationship is closer. They are classmates and friends, so Chen Jingchi dared to make fun of him like this.

Li Heng coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "There are too many people going there now."

But his eyes kept glancing at the figure over there. She was so beautiful, even all the blooming flowers in the hall couldn't compare to her every smile and frown.

He looked around again and found that there were many young men who were attracted to Yu Zinyin like him. This gave Li Heng a very strong sense of crisis. However, when he told his mother before that he wanted to get engaged to the eldest daughter of the Yu family first, it was rejected. His mother thought that the daughter of the Yu family had not yet reached the age of marriage, and it was too early to get engaged. It would not be too late for him to wait until the daughter of the Yu family reached the age of marriage. Besides, there was no need to worry that the eldest daughter of the Yu family would be snatched away by someone else. As long as they heard the news that someone was going to get engaged to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion before that, they would also spread the news that their Prince's Mansion had set his eyes on the Right Prime Minister's daughter. Then, no one would risk offending the Prince's Mansion by marrying the daughter of the Yu family.

Chen Jingchi was drinking the tea in front of him, his eyes also attracted by the figure. She was worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Yu family, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. It was normal for the prince to be attracted to her, and the same was true for him. Yes, he also liked the eldest daughter of the Yu family. First of all, it was because the other party was so beautiful that people could fall in love at first sight. Secondly, he later got a general understanding of the knowledge of the eldest daughter of the Yu family, and it was also very good. She was not the kind of vase with only beauty. Who would not like such a knowledgeable, beautiful and family background person?

But because the Crown Prince had inquired with him about the eldest daughter of the Yu family before, he could not compete with the Crown Prince openly for her, as that would offend the Prince's Mansion. Even though the Prince's Mansion did not have any real power, the Prince was the only brother of the current Emperor and had a say in front of the Emperor. Moreover, the Prince's Mansion had a strong backer in the harem, namely the Dowager Concubine, who lived a very good life relying on the Empress Dowager. Therefore, Chen Jingchi had no choice but to give up.

But Yu Ziyin didn't know what Chen Jingchi was thinking. She naturally saw Prince Li Heng and Chen Jingchi out of the corner of her eye. As for Prince Li Heng, who had hurt the original owner so much in the original world, she naturally would not pay any attention to him.

But Chen Jingchi was one of her husband candidates, so she had to find a chance to get to know him better. She couldn't take the initiative, as that would make her seem unruly, and she would definitely be in trouble if she returned to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. However, she didn't have many opportunities to go out, and even fewer opportunities to have a good talk with him and get to know him better. If she missed this opportunity, she might end up on the same path as the original owner, marrying the wrong person, because she didn't understand him thoroughly enough.
