Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Therefore, if she could marry such a man, even Yu Ziyin, who used to be so arrogant in front of her, would have to bow to her in the future. After all, Yu Ziyin would not dare to go against the family's wishes like her and get in touch with the princes. In the future, at best, she would be the lady of a noble family, which is a world of difference compared to herself who might become a concubine!

This wasn't just Yu Fangfang's thoughts; it was also what Concubine Yun hoped her daughter would do. Otherwise, with Yu Fangfang's pitifully limited knowledge, how could she know that the Fourth Prince was the current emperor's favorite son? Only Concubine Yun, who held some influence in the backyard, knew this. The mother and daughter felt happy just thinking about Madam Yu's most favored daughter, Yu Ziyin, bowing before them in the future. So before coming, Concubine Yun had been telling Yu Fangfang that she had to connect with the Fourth Prince.

Yu Fangfang also felt that as long as Yu Zinyin was not here and attracted everyone's attention, she would have a chance to talk to the Fourth Prince.

Yu Zixi didn't feel anything.

Aunt Wei is a person who doesn't have many ideas. Most of the time, it is Yu Zixi who comes up with ideas between her and her, but the two of them will also discuss and think about the feasibility of the idea after Yu Zixi makes one.

When Yu Zixi learned that the Fourth Prince had hosted a banquet for the nobles of the capital, including the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, she had already considered the position of the Fourth Prince's concubine. So she told her idea to Concubine Wei.

Although Aunt Wei was her biological mother, she was also afraid of the Right Prime Minister. After hearing Yu Zixi's idea, she refused immediately. She knew that one of the rules of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was that family heirs were not allowed to have any involvement with princes and princesses. If Yu Zixi really went against the family's wishes and contacted the Fourth Prince, not to mention whether the Fourth Prince would favor Yu Zixi, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion would definitely be furious about this matter. Yu Zixi might be fine if she went to the Prince's Mansion, but her own life would be in danger. Therefore, she tried her best to dissuade her, telling Yu Zixi that if she didn't want to lose the support of her natal family in the future and feel uncomfortable in her husband's family, it would be best not to go against the rules of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yu Zixi secretly cursed Aunt Wei for being timid and not daring to do big things, but she was actually also afraid that she would lose the support of her natal family in the future. Although she was a concubine's daughter, she also knew that being a concubine's daughter of the Right Prime Minister's family was much higher than that of concubines' daughters of other families. If she lost the support of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, others would most likely not take her seriously.

Therefore, Yu Zixi could only give up the opportunity to get close to the Fourth Prince with disappointment in her heart.

When Yu Fangfang said she wanted to meet the Fourth Prince, Yu Zixi's eyes subtly glanced at her third sister, who was usually taciturn around Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun was of humble origin, the daughter of the old lady's maid. Therefore, Yu Fangfang, who resembled Concubine Yun more closely, wasn't particularly attractive, even slightly inferior to Concubine Yun, and could only be described as delicate. She even dreamed of establishing a relationship with the Fourth Prince, who was so used to seeing beauties and whose mother was once the most beautiful woman in the capital.

But Yu Zixi would not remind her that although both of them were concubines' daughters and hated the legitimate lineage, they did not have much in common, and even treated each other with hostility and contempt.

Yu Fangfang despised Aunt Wei and Yu Zixi for not having a son or a younger brother to rely on, and for having nothing to rely on in the future. Yu Zixi, on the other hand, despised Yu Fangfang for being so mad that she was manipulated by Aunt Yun to be a life-sucking bastard. Even though Yu Qi had been taken in and raised under Madam Yu's name for unknown reasons not long ago, Yu Fangfang, the fool, hadn't seized the opportunity to leave Aunt Yun. This choice alone made Yu Zixi think Yu Fangfang was mentally ill. If it were her, she would have just left. How could she possibly be willing to be Aunt Yun's puppet?

So Yu Zixi just said something to Yu Li and left. She went to the ladies' section and after finding her seat, she began to set her sights on the men's section, selecting as she did before. However, this time her actions were much more subtle and covert, as she didn't want to be caught by Madam Yu and punished by being locked up in the courtyard and forced to copy the women's rules. She didn't think she could act boldly without Madam Yu's presence, so she had to be cautious.

Yu Li looked at Yu Fangfang, who pretended to be calm and thought she had hidden her scheming well. The smile in his eyes faded and his face became gentle. "Fangfang, Fourth Sister has gone to sit in the women's section. I'm worried about her being alone. I'll take you to see the Fourth Prince next time, okay?"

Yu Fangfang shook her head, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Brother, I really want to meet His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. Please. I've been to many large banquets with Mother before, and she's met all sorts of important figures. But this is my first time meeting someone as powerful as the prince. Can you take me with you?"

Yu Li wasn't fooled by her pitiful appearance. He simply said in a cold voice, "Fangfang, be obedient. Mother should have told you two before she came. Behave yourself."

Yu Fangfang didn't expect that Yu Li didn't care about the relationship between brother and sister at all. Not only did he reject her directly, but he also brought up Madam Yu to put pressure on her. She felt embarrassed, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only secretly complain in her heart why she was not a legitimate daughter. If she was a legitimate daughter, Yu Li would definitely take her to meet the Fourth Prince. In fact, Yu Li was the same as Madam Yu. He was afraid that the achievements of these illegitimate children would surpass those of them, the legitimate children, so he was not willing to let her meet the Fourth Prince. It was really hateful.

But faced with Yu Li's obviously cold attitude, Yu Fangfang, who was unwilling to give up, did not dare to say anything more. She could only take the maid beside her to the women's section.

Seeing her sitting next to him with an unwilling look on her face, Yu Zixi secretly laughed at Yu Fangfang's uselessness and stupidity.

Finally, Yu Li came alone to the Fourth Prince to pay his respects. He looked up and met the Fourth Prince's somewhat cold gaze. He knew that Li Changxuan had already known that his sister Yu Zinyin did not come, so he was angry.

As expected, Li Changxuan smiled, but his voice was chilling. "This prince's mansion is still too small. I can't even invite anyone from your Right Prime Minister's Mansion. If I had known this, I should have asked my father for a bigger mansion."

He did not lower his voice on purpose, and everyone sitting nearby heard it. The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and even Li Heng did not dare to get close to the Fourth Prince anymore, for fear that he would be angered by this Fourth Prince who was even more terrifying than himself.

The silence of the superior also affected the people below. The banquet suddenly fell silent and everyone cast their eyes upwards, but they didn't know why.

Chen Jingchi looked over with a worried look, and stood up to say something, but was interrupted by Yu Li's voice, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, please forgive me. My sister Ziyin really wanted to come to the Fourth Prince's banquet, but unfortunately, she fell ill a while ago. This is a gift from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to Your Highness the Fourth Prince. I hope the Fourth Prince will not blame me."

The servant next to Yu Li presented the gift. Li Changxuan's personal eunuch glanced at the gloomy face of his little ancestor and didn't know whether he should go forward to take it. Until Li Changxuan glanced at him, he stepped forward tremblingly to take it.
