Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The couple were stunned by these words. Lady Hou felt his forehead and asked, "You don't have a fever, my son. Do you know what it means to become the Empress in the palace?"

Chi Xing replied calmly, "I know. It's just being an empress and warming His Majesty's bed. I can do that."

Marquis Xuanping was utterly shocked: "You unfilial son, what nonsense are you spouting?"

“It’s one thing for him to be mischievous on ordinary days, but is this a small matter? This is His Majesty.”

Even Lady Hou, who always protected Chi Xing, fell silent. She gently patted the back of Chi Xing's hand and said, "Xing'er, don't be silly."

Chi Xing lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I really didn't do anything silly. Alas, my parents don't know, but I have liked His Majesty for many years. However, because we are both men, I have never said anything about it in front of others."

Marquis Xuanping and his wife: ! !

Both of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Akahoshi continued, "It's true, I've liked His Majesty ever since I attended a palace banquet, and I've liked him for many years."

“Mother, do you still remember all the portraits of women you found for me over the years? I rejected them all because I don’t like women.”

When Lady Hou thought about it, it was true; this boy had never given a second glance to a woman since he was a child.

"So, you really like men?" Lady Hou's pupils dilated in shock.

Chi Xing shook her head, a longing look on her face: "I don't like women or men, I only like Your Majesty. If I could marry Your Majesty and become Empress, that would be something I never dared to dream of."

"This, how can this be?" Marquis Xuanping thought Chixing had gone mad.

Chi Xing started to throw a tantrum: "Why can't this be? His Majesty has already issued the decree. What does that prove?"

“This proves that His Majesty also likes me. We are in a mutual relationship. Father, you can’t break us up.”

Marquis Xuanping: ...

Marquis Xuanping tried to explain that His Majesty didn't truly like him, but rather wanted to make an example of him to deter others. Fearing to upset his son, he could only offer a tactful explanation:

“My son, what if His Majesty only issued the decree in a fit of anger, and you enter the palace to be a widow for life, and can’t even come out to see your parents every day?”

Lady Hou chimed in, "Yes, why don't you find someone else you like? His Majesty's moods are so unpredictable. What if he takes a concubine later? What will you do then?"

It is said that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. The previous dynasty was a living example. There was fierce infighting. Later, some concubines even poisoned the wells and food. The harem was filled with chaos and many people died.

At first, because she had only given birth to sons, Lady Hou was relieved that she would not have to watch her daughters suffer in the palace.

But now, why is her youngest son about to enter the palace?

As she thought about it, Lady Hou wiped away her tears: "How will my Xing'er live in the future? The harem is no place for a human being."

While crying, she punched Marquis Xuanping in the arm: "It's all your fault!"

"I told you, mind your own business! You old fool, you just jumped in after being egged on. Now look what's happened, you've ruined my Xing'er's life..."

Marquis Xuanping sighed: "Well, I never expected His Majesty to prefer men."

"Mother, I also like His Majesty. Being Empress is better than being a concubine. If Yang Jingyun becomes Empress first, won't Madam Yang be so arrogant?"

Lady Hou, as if a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately exploded:

"Him? How could that be? He's as fat as a ball, of low character, a bully who preys on men and women. How could His Majesty possibly be interested in such a person?"

Chi Xing pouted, her eyes downcast: "Mother, he's lost weight now, and besides, he said he's in love with His Majesty."

He became increasingly distressed as he spoke, burying his face in Lady Hou's shoulder and feigning tears: "Waaah, Mother, I love His Majesty the most, and I will only ever be with him. If I can't be Empress, I'll seduce His Majesty, and then I'll only be a low-ranking concubine, Mother..."

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry."

When he cried, Lady Hou felt sorry for him and forgot all her complaints about her husband.

The couple discussed it and decided to find someone to teach Chixing the rules overnight.

The rules in the palace were complicated. This dynasty was not much different from the ancient times that Chi Xing had lived in before. He learned the basic etiquette in just a few hours.

Before even understanding the original plot, Akahoshi was so tired that he fell asleep immediately.

He slept until dawn, when a nanny came to wake him up so he could dress up and go to the palace.

The emperor's decision to appoint her as empress was made on a whim, and the ceremony was scheduled for several months later. However, from the day she enters the palace, Chi Xing will be the esteemed empress of the Eastern Qi Kingdom.

"Xing'er hasn't recovered from falling into the water yet, so she shouldn't be wearing heavy makeup."

Lady Hou really couldn't stand the old nanny's idea of ​​putting heavy makeup on her son. Xing'er was a boy, so light makeup would be just right.

Speaking of falling into the water, Akahoshi asked 250 in her mind's eye: "Did the original owner die from falling into the water?"

250: [No, after falling into the water, the original owner became extremely afraid of water, so much so that after entering the palace, she was killed by the protagonist who later entered the palace before even seeing the emperor.]

Chi Xing was pressed into a chair, facing a bronze mirror, as his mother and the old nanny helped him with his makeup and hair.

250: [Yang Jingyun used to be a wicked fat man, but he choked to death on a pancake half a year ago. Now, this transmigrator is the protagonist.]

Red Star remained silent, signaling it to continue.

The time traveler scolded Yang Jingyun for a long time as soon as he arrived, and then decided to work hard to lose weight and started exercising every day.

A few days ago, he met the original owner of this body at a party. Miss Lu gave the original owner a handkerchief, which the original owner refused. Miss Lu was rejected in public and burst into tears.

Yang Jingyun stood up for Miss Lu, criticizing the original owner of this body for being tasteless. The original owner argued with him, and the argument escalated to the point of revealing each other's past misdeeds.

In front of everyone, all of Yang Jingyun's past misdeeds were revealed by the original owner of the body, and Miss Lu, who had just arrived in the capital, immediately distanced herself from him.

Yang Jingyun was very angry, but he didn't lash out on the spot. Instead, he found his cousin who had just arrived in the capital. These people had all come to the capital with their family members who had been promoted.

They were unaware of Chi Xing's identity and only regarded Yang Jingyun, the young master of the Changping Earl's Mansion, as their leader.

250: [The original owner was pushed into the lake by Yang Jingyun's cousin's servant. When the host of the banquet caught him, the servant did not implicate anyone, only saying that he disliked the original owner.]

The servant was eventually taken to the yamen by his master's men, where he was sentenced to caning and exile, but he died after being caned.

Akahoshi suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze slightly cold:

Wait, you just said the main character (the bottom) will also enter the palace? What do you mean?

He said last night that Yang Jingyun also liked the emperor, but that was just something he told his mother.

Lady Xu Lingwei has been at odds with Yang Jingyun's mother, Chen Qiuyue, since childhood. The two women both fell in love with Chi Yuan, but Chi Yuan had a crush on Xu Lingwei since he was a child.

Finally, Chi Yuan went to the Xu family to propose marriage, and Chen Qiuyue was so angry that she agreed to the Earl's proposal the very next day.

The two families started vying for the embroiderers to embroider wedding dresses, for the engagement date, and even for the auspicious wedding day to be earlier than the other family's.

In short, the two families became enemies.
