I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Chapter 68 Don't Want to Go to the Banquet

“Isn’t this a bit unreasonable?” Lin Jin finally realized that these people regarded him as an imaginary enemy.

Is it really that outrageous? How could Song Shiqiu possibly fall in love with someone like me who has nothing? Song Shiqiu likes strong women like the heroine who can do everything. Only someone like the heroine who is awesome at everything can catch the villain's eye.

Song Shiqiu's vision is extremely high.

"Unreasonable?" Xi Lilong didn't take this question seriously and just sneered, "Lin Liu, do you believe it? Even if a girl from our academy marries poorly, her current dignity can be shattered in an instant. If her family can't even have peace, how can she stand higher?"

The Women's Academy is their chance to turn things around, but it is also a high platform. If they take a wrong step, they will not only face the criticism of thousands of people, but also the wrath of the emperor.

Among the men worthy of trust, Song Shiqiu has the best conditions. Why should she choose a short man when she can choose a tall one? Before, they thought Song Shiqiu was out of their reach, but now Lin Liu has set a precedent. Since Lin Liu can do it, why can't they?

Lin Jin was helpless: "Okay, you have a point."

"This year's Autumn Examination will be before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it's best to prepare early. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to attend the banquet in the palace this year."

"Is there any connection between the Autumn Examination and the Palace Banquet?" Lin Jin knew what Xi Lilong was talking about. It was the famous scene in the original book where the heroine was appreciated by the emperor with a song "Spring River Moon Night". It was also the turning point where the relationship between the hero and the heroine began to take shape.

"You won't understand even if I tell you." Xi Lilong really thought Lin Jin was stupid. If he won the first prize in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would definitely enter the palace even if it was just a provincial examination. If he didn't prepare in advance, it would be no joke to lose his manners in front of the palace. "Don't underestimate Li Yuan."

Lin Jin smiled dryly and wanted to ask Xi Lilong if he knew what he was talking about.

Who is she looking down upon? Are you looking down upon the Jieyuan? In modern society, the Jieyuan is the top scholar in a province. Is she crazy? The provincial examination may not sound like a big deal, but it is equivalent to the college entrance examination.

In layman's terms, Jieyuan is the provincial champion, Huiyuan is the one with the best written test score among the provincial champions, and Zhuangyuan is the one with the best interview score. It goes without saying what level Song Shiqiu was at when he won three prizes in a row.

Even if we take a step back, this year's champion is still Liu Zhengqing. How dare she look down on Liu Zhengqing?

"Then sister, what should I prepare?" It is definitely too late to learn playing the piano and dancing.

"Prepare your manners. If you still behave like this when you attend the banquet, it will be disrespectful." Xi Lilong was very disappointed. "You'd better ask Song Shixia whether you went to the banquet in the car of the Prime Minister's Mansion or the car of the Shangshu Mansion that day."

Lin Jin felt that this was not right. If she knew this, how could she be invited? This was simply illogical: "Sister, are you overthinking it? Maybe I am not qualified to attend the palace banquet at all?"

Why should she, an unfavored concubine, attend the banquet?

"You still don't know anything?" Xi Lilong was really shocked this time. He looked Lin Jin up and down, and couldn't believe that Lin Jin was still kept in the dark. "Don't you know that even His Majesty knows that Song Shiqiu wants to take you in as his sister?"

The sixth daughter of the Lin family is naturally not qualified to attend the banquet, but the Prime Minister’s sister is qualified.

Lin Jin knew about this, but she remembered that she had already refused. How could there be a follow-up to this matter? It couldn't be that Song Shiqiu directly brought up the emperor just because she didn't want to sever the father-daughter relationship with her cheap father.

It's outrageous, and the plot is completely broken.

When I heard about the big villain's adopted sister, I couldn't continue to be a lazy fish and had to follow the plot, especially the vicious female supporting role.

Is this considered forced business?

"But you can do it too. You can actually make Song Shiqiu go to so much trouble to plan for you. It's a good thing that fools have their own luck. How can it not be?" Xi Lilong looked at Lin Jin who was stunned by the overwhelming wealth, and for a moment he envied her good luck. If he had such luck, he would never let himself and Lin Jin be so cowardly.

Lin Jin could only continue to laugh. She was not happy at all. She felt that no matter what the script in front of her was, it was almost like standing opposite the heroine, a dead end. For others, all roads lead to Rome, but for her, all scripts lead to the underworld.

Can't she, the cannon fodder, hide away beautifully with Song Shixia, the background board?

"Are you crazy happy?" Xi Lilong didn't expect Lin Jin to be so happy.

Lin Jin: “…”

I guessed it right, but not completely.

Going crazy, but not happy.

The person who was most saddened by the fact that Song Shiqiu wanted to take Lin Jin as his sister was actually Jing'an. She couldn't understand why even Song Shiqiu was bewitched by Lin Jin and wanted to take such a person as his sister. Lin Jin had no looks, no talent, and no reputation. What was good about her?

As soon as Jing'an stepped into the lecture hall, he couldn't help but glare at Lin Jin, who looked innocent.

How had she offended this little princess again? She hadn't teased Jing'an yet today.

"Princess Jing'an doesn't want the Prime Minister to accept you as his sister." Xi Lilong knew Jing'an's thoughts clearly.

Lin Jin was embarrassed: "..."

Is it possible that she doesn't really want to be the boss, but her thin arms are powerless and it is obvious that she does not have the initiative in this matter. Jing'an has the guts to glare at Song Shiqiu, but why is she glaring at her?

Is it possible that she is the most innocent one? She seems to have gotten the upper hand, but in fact she has become someone else's target without knowing it. She doesn't even know how many eyes are staring at her.

"Sister Xi, I find you are really amazing." Lin Jin praised Xi Lilong sincerely, "You are not only talented and beautiful, but you are also broad-minded."

Seeing Xi Lilong sitting next to me every day, I don’t feel unwarranted jealousy towards me like other people do. The most important point is that Xi Lilong is really a know-it-all and knows basically anything I ask him.

"Every time you speak in this tone, you must have something to ask of me." Xi Lilong saw through Lin Jin's little trick.

Lin Jin laughed, "Sister, why do you say that? I'm asking for advice, and I really think you're amazing and excellent!" Then she gave Xi Lilong a thumbs up, "Sister, you're both good at literature and martial arts, you're a real woman who's as good as any man!"

Xi Lilong has been praised too much recently, and his ears are calloused: "If you don't speak properly, I will pretend I didn't hear you."

"No, no, dear sister." Lin Jin hurriedly grabbed Xi Lilong's sleeve and shook it, "If I don't want to attend the palace banquet, is there any good way to avoid it?"

Lin Jin's eyes blinked so brightly that Xi Lilong almost thought he had misheard: "You don't want to attend the palace banquet? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You also know that I'm not a serious person. How can I go to such a solemn place as a palace banquet? Please tell me if there is any way to avoid going." Lin Jin pretended to be pitiful. She remembered that Song Shixia did not go in the original book, so she didn't plan to go either. She wanted to accompany Song Shixia to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xi Lilong curled his lips and said, "I think you want to harm me. If I teach you, I will be the first to be punished if someone finds out. Besides, don't say you don't want to go. Even if you have a rash on your face, His Majesty will let you wear a veil to enter the palace. You can't avoid the palace banquet this year."

Lin Jin's face was filled with "How could this happen? I can't avoid this palace banquet? I can't even avoid being sick?"

"You are really stupid. If you don't take this opportunity, who would know that you are Song Shiqiu's adopted sister. His Majesty and the Prime Minister are trying to build momentum for you, but you still want to hide. I think you are really crazy." Xi Lilong couldn't bear to watch, "If you miss this time, there will be no next time."

"Then... it would be boring for Sister Shi Xia to celebrate the festival alone at the Prime Minister's Residence." Lin Jin felt a little aggrieved, "Is there really no other way?"

"Who told you that Song Shixia won't attend this year's palace banquet?" Xi Lilong found it even more absurd when he heard this. "Use your brain. There are only two of them left in the Song family. How could His Majesty let Song Shixia spend the holiday alone in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
