I'm The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book

The plum blossom banquet held by the first princess is not as grand and eye-catching as the banquet of hundreds of chrysanthemums held by the crown princess.

Plum blossoms are expensive and refined, and the word "elegance" is what you can appreciate in winter.

The people the Grand Princess invited today are even more different from the Crown Princess’s chrysanthemum banquet. They are all wives who have frequent contacts with the Grand Princess. In order to consolidate and develop the supporters of the First Prince.

The Crown Princess naturally did not attend today's Plum Appreciation Banquet, and it was not a day or two since she and the First Prince Concubine faced each other tit for tat.

Probably the Crown Princess didn't think much of Luo Shuyu, so she refused more decisively today, and she wouldn't come if she couldn't say it.

Without the Crown Princess, Luo Shuyu became the focus of everyone, especially after it was rumored that he had a very powerful "nufu technique".

Luo Shuyu was relatively low-key in her previous life, and she didn't attend many such gatherings. Most of the time, she only went out when she had to, and she rarely showed her talents.

At the plum appreciation banquet at this time, since the word "Ya" is at the top, the joy of writing poetry is naturally indispensable. Luo Shuyu wrote a poem with the theme of "Plum", which is not brilliant, but he thinks it is relatively neat.

I don't know if it's because he has the title of the third concubine. Everyone is praising him, and he almost swells up. Fortunately, he is strong enough to not be fascinated by the seemingly sincere praise, but it is also a headache. , being surrounded always feels too conspicuous.

In the second half of the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet, Luo Shuyu gave all the opportunities to show off to other wives. It is not good for him to stay too long in the Grand Prince's Mansion, so as not to disturb other people's interest. of!

Before leaving, the eldest concubine Bi Ruoyao asked him quietly: "Shu Yu, do you know the concubine my fourth brother took recently?"

Isn't Shen Mingyun the fourth prince's concubine? How could he not know.

On the surface, the fourth prince is following the first prince, and the first concubine would not think that the third prince and the Luo family would be on the team of the first prince if Shen Mingyun took refuge in the fourth prince's mansion.

Luo Shuyu knew what she wanted to say, so she said emphatically: "I heard from my father that the fourth prince fell in love with cousin Shen at first sight, and the cousin also admired him so much that he entered the mansion. The cousin made the decision himself. The family did not interfere."

Bi Ruoyao smiled softly: "I don't mean anything else, I just heard that your cousin is talented in business."

Luo Shuyu said: "It's all small business that doesn't catch the eye. The First Prince and Concubine don't need to pay too much attention to it."

Presumably Bi Ruoyao knew about Shen Mingyun, now that he entered the fourth prince's mansion, she naturally felt that she could use it for herself. She greeted Luo Shuyu mainly because she wanted to win over the third prince and test his intentions.

Luo Shuyu cleverly weakened Shen Mingyun's ability. Once he said this, the eldest concubine would think more about it. It was up to her to decide whether to listen to a concubine or a concubine.

Bi Ruoyao failed to get more evaluation of Shen Mingyun from Luo Shuyu, so she didn't keep him anymore.

It's just that after Luo Shuyu left, he was unwilling to say to the people around him: "This Luo Shuyu is simply a toast and does not eat fine wine. I entertained with delicious food and drinks today, but he didn't eat oil and salt. The third prince is really not a family. A family."

The personal maid: "Master, don't worry. The third prince has not stood in line for so many years. It is a good thing for us. It is also a good thing that the third prince does not dare to jump out. Why don't you try that Shen Mingyun again, can you coax him?" He will take out another blueprint or something else to help His Highness."

Bi Ruoyao pulled out the pearl hairpin on her head and said, "That's right, isn't there going to be cuju on ice in a few days, everyone will go to participate, let the fourth brother also bring Shen Mingyun to serve, and then see how Luo Shuyu looks, I don’t believe we can’t pull him onto our family’s boat.”

Personal maid: "But will this be counterproductive?"

Bi Ruoyao: "It doesn't matter, what does the Fourth Prince take Shen Mingyun out to have anything to do with us, the ice cuju is also held in the name of the father."

In fact, it is the winter entertainment of the royal family. It is fun to play when the snow is thick, but it is also another occasion for the monarch and his ministers to communicate.

The personal maid: "Master, have you forgotten? Princess Zhou may also participate. Your Majesty has not yet decided who to point her to."

Bi Ruoyao: "Oh, this is interesting. Your Highness told me that Princess Zhou is interested in the third prince, and that he is both civil and military."

The personal maid: "No, it's a pity that His Royal Highness only has the third concubine in his eyes."

Bi Ruoyao: "This Luo Shuyu is indeed not simple, let's see who the princess of the Zhou Kingdom will get on the day of Cuju."

When Luo Shuyu just returned to the mansion, Li Mingjin came back.

The two changed their snow-stained clothes one after the other.

Luo Shuyu sat on the couch holding the sleeve stove that Qingwang handed him, and said to Li Mingjin: "Your Highness, will you play the ice cuju in three days' time?"

Li Mingjin took off his leather boots and returned to Luo Shuyu: "Naturally, Lin Haiming is still training with me in a team today."

After changing into dry clothes, Li Mingjin sat across from Luo Shuyu and drank the hot tea he poured.

Luo Shuyu was worried about his body: "Is the injury on your body all right?"

Li Mingjin raised his hands: "Look, it's already healed, it's okay."

Luo Shuyu was still a little worried: "At that time, I will have to fight against others. The ice is still so slippery, so I'm afraid you will get hurt."

Ever since they got married, Li Mingjin had been getting hurt all the time, and Luo Shuyu really had to worry.

Li Mingjin comforted him: "You have to believe that my martial arts are not that bad."

"I believe in you, but I don't trust others." Luo Shuyu brought up today's plum appreciation feast, "Today the eldest princess is still testing my attitude."

Li Mingjin asked, "How do you answer her?"

Luo Shuyu said: "Of course I follow Your Highness, but she mainly mentioned Shen Mingyun. She must have known that Shen Mingyun provided the blueprint last time, and tested whether Shen Mingyun and I are in the same group."

Li Mingjin: "It's really troublesome. Shen Mingyun entered the fourth brother's house. Although the emperor didn't say anything, the others might not."

Luo Shuyu: "I think so too, I guess the fourth prince will take me to see Cuju."

It is written in the book that Shen Mingyun went to visit the royal family's ice cuju competition in winter, and he went with Mrs. Liu at that time.

Originally, he had no chance to go there without Mrs. Liu. However, by accident, he entered the fourth prince's mansion during the snowing. The fourth prince currently has no concubine, so it is not a big problem to bring a servant to go.

This time it was only a royal entertainment program, not an occasion to receive foreign guests. Emperor Tiansheng would bring a few concubines to watch it.

Li Mingjin asked Luo Shuyu cautiously: "Then do you like watching Cuju?"

Luo Shuyu saw the eager and uncertain look in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "I like it."

In his previous life, Li Mingjin also participated in cuju on ice in the first year of his marriage, and he would follow along, but he didn't notice anything throughout the whole process. Contest.

Probably because of a different state of mind, Luo Shuyu is now a little looking forward to seeing Li Mingjin's high-spirited and reckless appearance on the ice rink.

It would take a long time to go back and forth, and it was nearly evening after returning from the First Prince's Mansion today.

It was getting dark quickly in winter, Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin sat in the room for a while and then lit the lamps in the mansion.

For dinner, there is Li Mingjin's favorite meat, and Luo Shuyu's favorite clear soup.

After dinner, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu huddled together on the couch to play Go, and it became backgammon as they played.

Li Mingjin would even play tricks on Luo Shuyu.

Li Mingjin: "Wait, I'm not going to take this step."

Luo Shuyu: "Your Highness is so stupid, I will not regret it."

Li Mingjin: "Nothing."

Luo Shuyu: "Then you put the chess piece back in your hand."

Li Mingjin: "No, let me think about it again, I must take this step."

Luo Shuyu: "Okay, let your son be."

Li Mingjin: "Why did you eat me again!"

Luo Shuyu: "...Your Highness is probably not suitable for playing chess."

Li Mingjin threw the chess piece in his hand back on the chessboard, pushed away the small table, and pressed himself against Luo Shuyu: "Since it's not suitable for playing chess, it must be suitable for doing something else." He lowered his head and bit Luo Shuyu's lip.

Luo Shuyu put his hands behind his back and let out a soft snort. Since he got used to Li Mingjin, he can accept these things very well most of the time, and even enjoy them very much. He thinks that he really likes Li Mingjin more and more, and can accept all of his things. everything.

The small couch was not very comfortable, and the clothes were not completely untied. After trying for a round, Li Mingjin carried Luo Shuyu back to the bed, and then started a new round of ups and downs.

It wasn't until late at night that Luo Shuyu was let go. He thought wearily: Isn't practicing Cuju tired at all?Why are you still so energetic at night!Your Highness must be lazy!

three days later.

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu went to the ice rink.

They came later, only a little earlier than Emperor Tiansheng, which was in line with the usual style of the third prince.

Even if Emperor Tiansheng knew, he wouldn't say anything. The third son was so careless in front of him, just get used to it.

Every son was well-behaved in front of him, and Li Mingjin's escape also made him realize what it was like to be a father, not a courtier, but a father and son.Therefore, in these years, Li Mingjin had a bad reputation, but she still lived a good life, thanks to the only "father-son relationship" that Emperor Tiansheng had.

Today is sunny, but the temperature is still very low.

Gorgeous carriages are parked everywhere around the ice rink.

Li Mingjin put a hat made of fox fur on Luo Shuyu, and then wrapped it in a mink fur coat. After getting off the carriage, Li Mingjin supported Luo Shuyu and walked forward to prevent his feet from slipping. The two listened to the instigation of their feet on the snow. The sound entered the shed sheltered from the wind.

Luo Shuyu pushed the brim of his hat: "Your Highness, I feel like a snowball now, can I take off my hat?"

Li Mingjin said with a straight face: "No, you had a little cough yesterday, so you can't be sick."

Luo Shuyu gently pinched him through the thick fur coat: "Who am I because of? Who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and doesn't let me sleep."

Li Mingjin knew she was wrong, so she pretended to be pinched, and said with an ouch: "I was wrong, next time I will let you go to bed earlier, it will hurt."

Luo Shuyu: "Come on, I didn't even pinch you."

Li Mingjin: "..." Daughters-in-law are always hard to fool.

The two came late, and when they took their seats, they received the attention of everyone.

Luo Shuyu's fur clothes were not the most gorgeous, but the colors were the most elegant and beautiful in the audience, and the brightest one was the bright red princess.

Luo Shuyu glanced around from the corner of her eye, and saw Shen Mingyun who was sitting next to the Fourth Prince Li Mingchun. He was also wearing a fur coat of the same color as the Crown Princess, and the two clashed.

Today's Shen Mingyun is still different from that in Luo Mansion. They are not too far away. Luo Shuyu can see the joy on his face, and he is very interested in cuju on ice, as if he is going to play soon. After he said a few words, the two were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be quite affectionate, but he was sitting behind Li Mingchun instead of the concubine, and everyone knew his identity at a glance.

Those present were all dignitaries, and Shen Mingyun was really nothing.

After Luo Shuyu finished paying attention to Shen Mingyun, she felt a line of sight fall on him. She turned her head and saw a dignified woman sitting not far away. and Li Mingjin.

Luo Shuyu asked Li Mingjin: "Your Highness, is that Princess Zhou?"

He had seen most of the wives present, but this woman in dark fur was a little unfamiliar to him, and he guessed who she was right away.

To evaluate rationally, this woman still has a bit of heroism, although her appearance is exquisite, but she always feels that something is wrong, her temperament is not like the little family jade like the woman raised in the boudoir of Daxia Kingdom.

Li Mingjin nodded cautiously: "Well, I swear I have absolutely no thoughts about her!"

Luo Shuyu wondered where he was talking, is he such a petty person?

Luo Shuyu said: "I trust Your Highness."

Li Mingjin was satisfied: "I'll show you the goal later."

Luo Shuyu: "Okay." When he turned his head again, Princess Zhou had already shifted her gaze elsewhere.

He has a doubt now, why in his previous life he had never heard of Princess Zhou's marriage to the Great Xia Kingdom?

What about the Prince Zhou who hooked up with Shen Mingyun?

Looking at Shen Mingyun and the fourth prince's flirtatious affection, it doesn't seem like they met another man.

But he has always been this kind of heartless, ignorant, with all his emotions and sorrows written on his face.

Emperor Tiansheng arrived on time with a group of concubines. The queen was caught in the wind and cold. The person who accompanied Tiansheng Emperor today was Concubine Lin, and the others were below.

The teams are all free combinations, and there are a total of eight teams competing for today's top spot.

Among the eight teams, each of the four adult princes leads a team, and each round of competition lasts for two quarters of an hour.

Great Xia Kingdom's requirements for men are both civil and military. Regardless of whether they are civil servants, their force value is not low. They run vigorously on the field and win the applause of the audience.

In the first round, there were two teams from the Wenchen team, one of which was led by the prince. Not surprisingly, the team with the prince won.

The second round of civil servants team was led by the fourth prince, but this time, the team of the fourth prince lost. He humbly and politely encouraged the other team to win!

Luo Shuyu felt that the fourth prince was quite capable of capturing people's hearts, and the officials of his team who won were all smiling at the fourth prince.

Only Shen Mingyun looked regretful when he saw the fourth prince coming back, and then he said to the fourth prince, pointing out where and where he made mistakes. His face darkened as he spoke.

Li Mingchun was a little suspicious, whether Shen Mingyun was not too good at reading his face.

The third round is the military generals team, which is even more interesting. Compared with Wenchen's delicacy, the military generals team played hard. If you score a goal, we will immediately counterattack one. Back and forth, it was very stalemate. The scores alternated up and down, which made people very worried. In the end, it was decided that the Tigers Downhill team won.

In the fourth round, the team led by Li Mingjin faced another generals team. He played with his friend Lin Haiming.

Luo Shuyu was a little nervous sitting in the stands, so she stood up holding the hand stove and watched Li Mingjin's game nervously.

His actions were seen by Concubine Lin Gui, and she joked with Emperor Tiansheng: "The Third Prince looks a little worried about the Third Prince."

Emperor Tiansheng treated Li Mingjin a little differently, and replied with a smile: "The young couple are newly married, and they are intimate, with affection and intention."

Now who doesn't know that the third child is a strict husband, and the relationship is relative. The third concubine treats the third child sincerely, and it is not a big mistake to worry about him. On the contrary, it seems to be affectionate.

Concubine Lin Gui wanted to apply eye drops, but she didn't succeed, so she had to laugh along with her.

Luo Shuyu didn't know that one of her actions became the object of comparison.

Li Mingjin saw Luo Shuyu, who was standing up to watch his game, played bravely in this competition, advancing three goals in a row!

After winning, he swung his club directly at Luo Shuyu, made a victory gesture, and successfully amused Emperor Tiansheng.

After the game, Li Mingjin returned to her seat. Luo Shuyu immediately asked Li Mingjin to put on a fur coat so as not to freeze.

Li Mingjin proudly asked Luo Shuyu: "Am I very good?"

Luo Shuyu praised the team without hesitation: "Your Highness is the best player in the game. I just counted your five goals. It's really amazing. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to score any of them."

Being praised by Luo Shuyu, Li Mingjin felt comfortable and full of joy.

Next is the second round of competition. The Prince's team will face the First Prince's team, which is very interesting.

Before the start of the game, Luo Shuyu drank a little too much tea because he was afraid that Li Mingjin would be injured, so he took the opportunity to go to Gong's room.

Li Mingjin's bright eyes wanted to accompany him, but Luo Shuyu sternly refused, it's just a courtship, do you want to do something else?

Luo Shuyu went to Gong's room, and unexpectedly met Shen Mingyun who had just come out, and the tall and heroic Princess Zhou.

He found that Princess Zhou's complexion was flushed at this time, and there was still a bit of embarrassment on her face.

The author has something to say: Third Prince: Daughter-in-law, I want to have an exciting ice cart ride with you!

Luo Shuyu: ...
