I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"Your Majesty, I plan to take Lin Liu as my adopted sister." Song Shiqiu didn't want Xia Hong to continue to match couples, so he put forward his own idea, "My sister should be more than qualified to be a match for a prince."

Xia Hong's eyebrows jumped: "You accept Lin Liu as your adopted sister, and you also want her to be my son's principal wife?"

"Your Majesty, do you want my sister to be your concubine?" There was danger hidden in Song Shiqiu's smile.

"Of course I don't mean that." Xia Hong sighed, "It's just that Qiulang, you also know that Lin Liu made a big joke not long ago, and now his reputation in the capital is really bad. I'm afraid those brats won't be willing. I'm just afraid that she will be wronged when she marries in."

When Xia Hong rescued the two siblings from the Song family, he did not have any children yet, so he had always raised them as his own children. So in his eyes, Song Shiqiu and Song Shixia were no different from his own children. He didn't care that Song Shiqiu just wanted to adopt a sister.

But if Lin Liu married into the royal family, he was afraid that instead of becoming a marriage, they would become enemies!

"Who would dare to do that while I am here? Even if I am not here, there is still Your Majesty. I believe Your Majesty will protect my relatives." Song Shiqiu bowed to Xia Hong regardless of his obstruction, "Your Majesty, Xia Xia is the only relative left in the world. She has lost interest in worldly affairs since she fell ill. Now I finally have Lin Liu by my side. Even though Lin Liu had no one to teach her and made some mistakes, they were not serious. I just want to protect the two of them."

Xia Hong looked at Song Shiqiu and thought of the look in Song Shiqiu's eyes when he had just rescued the two siblings. He was cautious but also had a glimmer of hope. Although Song Shiqiu's health was not good when he was a child, it was not as bad as it has been in recent years. At that time, the two siblings relied on each other's support to persevere.

He was suddenly filled with emotion, after all, these were two children he had raised. The imperial family was ruthless, but without those ties, he really loved these two siblings. This might be a little unfair, as he gave all the love that belonged to his own offspring to these two children.

"Get up, since you sent Lin Liu to the girls' college, you are sure that she will achieve something in the future. I believe in your vision. If you are wrong, it doesn't matter. As long as she doesn't act tyrannically and despise the law, I will naturally make sure she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life." Xia Hong felt guilty towards Song Shixia. He accidentally saw the two siblings using a chess game to simulate a battle between two armies, and thus got a glimpse of a new way to recruit female officials.

He was not a pedantic person. He only wanted peace and prosperity for the country and the people. He wanted to cultivate more talents to contribute to the country, so he established the women's college.

But if a girls' academy was opened, there had to be girls to study there, so he thought of Song Shixia. He knew that the two siblings would definitely agree. The only thing missing was a reputation that could be known to the world. When foreign envoys came to visit, he made Song Shixia famous for her Water Dragon Song and Broken Formation Song, and won her the title of the world's most talented woman.

With the first talented woman taking the lead in entering the women's academy, the rest was easy. There were two requirements for entering the women's academy. One had to be a descendant of a fifth-rank official and be able to endure the hardship of studying. The first condition was to appease the ministers in the court, and the second was to test whether the women who wanted to enter the academy had the most basic conditions.

Even though it was an academy that only daughters of officials could enter, studying there was hard. Many people left the academy after just a few days of study, but the frail and sickly Song Shixia persisted. Only with Song Shixia's precious talent could the women's academy truly flourish, but this was simply adding insult to injury for Song Shixia, who was already in poor health.

"Although Lin Liu is cowardly, she is definitely not stupid. In my opinion, it is Minister Lin who has spoiled her. Why don't you put her in a girls' school? In time, Your Majesty will be able to look at her with new eyes." Although Song Shiqiu has always looked down on Lin Jin, it did not prevent him from discovering Lin Jin's strengths. Otherwise, he would not have hired a nanny and a teacher for Lin Jin, let alone sent Lin Jin to a girls' school.

If Lin Liu didn't have some good qualities, he could have kept Lin Liu in his house as a plaything for his sister.

He knew that Lin Jin learned things faster than many people, but he was still not satisfied with this speed. He had his own selfish motives. He wanted Lin Jin to replace his sister as the daughter of the girls' academy. He also wanted Lin Jin to grow up before getting married and no longer be looked down upon.

"You seldom praise someone like this, Prime Minister Song." As the one who was always looked down upon by Song Shiqiu, Su Cheng'an knew clearly how venomous Song Shiqiu could be when he looked down on someone. Although Song Shiqiu seldom spoke rudely to women, he had only seen Lin Jin, the only person who could be praised like this by Song Shiqiu, in such a long time.

Who is this Lin Liu? Is he really that smart?

If this is true, then Minister Lin is really blind and let Song Shiqiu pick up a treasure.

Song Shiqiu said calmly, "Xia Xia is very smart. If she hadn't told me, I would have mistakenly thought that Lin Liu had no merits."

After all, he didn't have time to focus on a concubine's daughter who knew nothing and was so rude that she couldn't be taken out.

He had seen many smart people and promoted many talents for the Xia Dynasty. He was arrogant because of his talent, so he often looked down on Lin Liu. If it weren't for his sister's enlightenment, Lin Liu would still treat Lin Liu as an insignificant person.

Lin Jin knew nothing about what happened in the palace. She only knew that Lin Lin would accidentally fall into the water tomorrow. The Lin Lin who woke up three days later would be the real heroine. She had to find a way to gain favor with the heroine so that she could save Song Shixia.

Why did Lin Jin know it was tomorrow? Because tomorrow was the day Princess Jing'an would enter the academy. Prince Jin, as her brother and half brother, would send Princess Jing'an to the academy. It was also that day that Lin Lin happened to be encountered falling into the water.

"Ajin?" Seeing Lin Jin distracted, Song Shixia couldn't help but call out softly, "Don't worry, although Princess Jing'an and His Royal Highness Prince Jin are siblings, she has been raised by the Queen since she was a child. She is not a spoiled and unreasonable person, and she will not bear a grudge against you because of what happened before."

Song Shixia thought Lin Jin was scared, so she began to comfort Lin Jin.

"Yeah." Lin Jin smiled obediently at Song Shixia and did not explain that she was not worried about Princess Jing'an.

She was now thinking about how to improve Lin Lin's favorability without being so purposeful. In the original story, the heroine was kind and courageous, she would repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge, and she was a sober heroine who was not threatened by anyone. That was why she was admired by so many people, and she even revealed the hypocritical mask of the prince. The hero even ascended the throne with her help.

But what kind of kindness would make the heroine willingly take out the only magic medicine to save Song Shixia? The magic medicine was never used from beginning to end. Even when Liu Zhengqing was so kind to the heroine, the heroine did not take out the magic medicine.

Some readers said that most parts of Liu Zhengqing's body were torn into pieces at that time. Even if he was rescued, Liu Zhengqing probably would not want to live. It would be better to keep the magic medicine, not to mention that the heroine had avenged Liu Zhengqing later.

Lin Jin did not express her own opinion, but at least Liu Zhengqing's level was not enough for the heroine to fully trust him.
