Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden uproar among the crowd.

What happened? Everyone thought that the bitch's marriage to Li Jin was the biggest gossip, but they didn't expect there would be follow-up developments?

In an instant, everyone looked at the Jinyiwei with anticipation and eagerness. Why are you pausing? Keep talking!

Some people even offered to bring a glass of water to the Jinyiwei: "Sir, please drink some water to moisten your throat."

Another person pushed aside the person serving water and brought a plate of fresh fruit: "These fruits have just been served, they are very fresh, please have a taste, sir."

The Jinyiwei looked back and someone immediately brought him a chair: "Sir, please sit down!"

The Jinyiwei sat down with satisfaction, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then picked up a fresh fruit and took a bite.

He crossed his legs and was about to speak when Li Jin suddenly interrupted and said, "Sir, can you let me take my daughter home first? She has been soaking in the water for such a long time, I am really worried about her health."

Everyone was looking forward to hearing the story, but after hearing this, they all looked unhappy and glared at Li Jin: "After you leave, will the Jinyiwei still tell stories? This is your story, don't you want to listen?"

However, the Royal Guard nodded slightly to show his understanding: "It's okay, Lord Li can take your daughter to Lanting Palace later. The emperor has sent people to make arrangements there."

Hearing this, Li Jin's face turned gloomy, he clenched his fists tightly, veins bulged on the back of his hands, as if he was trying to suppress his emotions to the extreme.

He lowered his head and said in a low but firm voice: "My daughter is timid, so I still hope to take her home and take care of her myself."

"Li Jin, don't be ungrateful!" Someone couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily. "The emperor has chosen your daughter, which is a blessing for your family. Regardless of whether she is your biological daughter or not, you raised her. Isn't it good for you to become the emperor's concubine?"

Their eyes were full of blame and dissatisfaction, as if they thought Li Jin was ungrateful and ungrateful.

Who wouldn't want to have such an opportunity when attending the palace banquet?

It’s a pity that Li Jin got the upper hand!

I don’t know how many concubines the emperor will choose. What if there is only one?

What a pity! If they had known that falling into the water would attract the emperor’s attention, they would have pushed their daughters in too.

Anyway, there will always be someone to save us.

Even if she can't be saved, she has still made a contribution to the family. She has been eating and using the family's food and money for so long, so isn't it her duty to make some contribution?

"Why don't you thank the Lord for his grace? What are you doing here? It's really annoying!" Someone couldn't help but say dissatisfiedly.

There was a hint of sarcasm and contempt in his words, as if he was mocking Li Jin's stubbornness and ignorance.

Li Jin's body was trembling slightly, and his heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

He knew that if he refused the emperor's order, it might bring disaster to his family.

But he couldn't give up his love and protection for his daughter.

At this moment, he felt that he was in a desperate situation and didn't know what to do. Asking him to refuse the imperial order? He really didn't dare to do so. He had never disobeyed the instructions of his fifth-rank superior. What's more, it was the emperor!

But if he let Yao'er enter the palace at such a young age and she is sick, how could he feel at ease?

"Sir Li, why don't you ask your daughter what she thinks?" The Royal Guard reminded calmly.

"Yao'er, tell Dad, do you want to go home?" Li Jin immediately asked with concern.

If his daughter wants to go home, he would risk his life to disobey the emperor's order.

"Dad, my daughter doesn't want to go home." Yao'er lowered her head and lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes.

That home is no longer her home.

It would be better for her to live in the palace so that her mother wouldn't always torture her.

It didn’t matter whether she was a concubine or not, she just wanted to leave that vicious woman.

Today, that woman was humiliated because of her. If she went back with her father today, that woman would definitely punish her severely behind her back. She was scared.

Li Jin didn't expect that his daughter would choose to stay in the palace.

He took several steps back in surprise: "Yao'er, didn't you always want to not enter the palace? Is someone blackmailing you?"

"Haha, Lord Li, your daughter is better able to judge the situation than you. She chose to enter the palace, which is a wise choice." Someone couldn't help but tease.

The Jinyiwei's mouth twitched slightly: The emperor spoke personally, how could his daughter dare to object?

Not wanting to waste any more time here, he waved his hand and took Li Jin and his daughter Li Yaoer to Lanting Palace.

Those who didn't hear the answer were left scratching their heads in frustration.

So is this Yao'er Li Jin's daughter?

The girl that the woman bought casually was exactly the product of Li Jin's affair with another woman? Was it such a coincidence?

No matter what people speculated and discussed, Li Yaoer finally and officially moved into Lanting Palace.

This decision caused an uproar, and all kinds of rumors spread. Some people thought that she won the emperor's favor with her beauty, while others thought that she had an unknown background and means. But in any case, the fact is that Li Yaoer became the owner of Lanting Palace and began her palace life. Those who once disdained her or were jealous of her can only watch her enjoy the glory and wealth silently, sighing in their hearts.

In Lanting Palace, a father and daughter were sitting and eating.

Whether it was the luxurious decoration around him or the maids standing around to serve him, they all made Li Jin feel very uncomfortable.

"What did you say? It was the Queen who saved you personally?" Li Jin couldn't sit still when he heard that.

"Yes, I heard that after I fell into the water, the Queen was the first one to jump into the lake to save me." Li Yaoer nodded affirmatively.

"Yao'er, you are confused! Your life was saved by the Queen. She is your benefactor! You should follow her lead. How can you be the Emperor's concubine and compete with her for favor? Aren't you repaying kindness with enmity?"

Li Jin was furious and shouted angrily, while reaching out to pull his daughter away.

He really couldn't understand his daughter's thoughts. How could she be so confused? The queen had saved their lives, and this favor was as heavy as Mount Tai. But now, his daughter wanted to become the emperor's concubine and compete with the queen for favor. Isn't this an act of ingratitude?

Li Jin's heart was full of contradictions and pain. On the one hand, he was disappointed with his daughter, and on the other hand, he felt guilty towards the queen. He felt that he had not educated his daughter well and let her go on such a wrong path. At this moment, he just wanted to take his daughter away from this place of trouble as soon as possible to avoid causing more trouble to the queen.

"Sir Li, the Queen invites you." As they were arguing, Chuchun, the maidservant beside the Queen, came over.
