After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

It can be said that except for the slight blood relationship from the same lineage, the Pingliang King Xiao Shaozhang who lost his fiefdom and the former Daqizong Zongzheng Old King Wu actually have no emotional foundation with Xiao Shaoyuan and Xiao Yuanjin.

However, relying on the so-called blood relationship, these two people often worked together with Xiao Shaoke to have their thoughts on Xiao Shaoyuan and Xiao Yuanjin.

Xiao Shaoyuan was as impatient as he wanted with these three, but towards the eldest princess Xiao Yuanjiu, Xiao Shaoyuan still felt a father-daughter feeling.

When Xiao Yuanjin took the initiative to take the eldest princess Xiao Yuanjiu out from Huangjue Temple, Xiao Shaoyuan had already sent someone to Huangjue Temple.

However, after Xiao Yuanjiu learned that Xiao Shaoyuan did not intend to take back the women who were stranded in Huangjue Temple, but planned to give them a sum of money and have them properly dismissed, Xiao Yuanjiu chose to continue to stay in Huangjue Temple. temple.

She could understand that Xiao Shaoyuan, who was forced to accept those women, did not want to see those women who would remind him of the unpleasant past, but at the same time, she also knew very well that her biological mother Zhang Meiren would definitely not be willing to take the severance money and return to her parents' home.

The Zhang family is just an ordinary family of ordinary petty officials. If she returns to her natal family, her life will definitely be worse than if she stays in Xiao Yuanjin's Prince Zhao's Mansion.

When she returned to her parents' home, she was an old woman who was rejected by the former emperor of Da Qi. But when she stayed in Prince Zhao's Mansion, she would become the only woman around Xiao Shaoyuan.

This is just a huge difference in status. On a material level, the treatment provided by Prince Zhao's Mansion is definitely several notches better than that of the Zhang family.

Xiao Yuanjiu knew that with Zhang Meiren's character, she would definitely take advantage of Xiao Shaoyuan's opportunity to take away her biological daughter, Xiao Yuanjiu, and she would not hesitate to take advantage of it.

But how could Xiao Yuanjiu cause such trouble to Xiao Shaoyuan and Xiao Yuanjin?

That is Prince Zhao's Mansion, which belongs to Xiao Yuanjin. As Xiao Shaoyuan is Xiao Yuanjin's biological father, it is reasonable for him to live there.

The second prince and the little baby of the last emperor of Qi are the half-brothers of the eldest prince after all.

Xiao Shaoke, who stubbornly insisted on living there, was not only Xiao Yuanjin's uncle, but also had been classmates with Xiao Yuanjin for many years.

It was justifiable for them to live in it, and she, Xiao Yuanjin's sister, to live in it, but Zhang Meiren, why did she follow Xiao Yuanjiu into Xiao Yuanjin's Prince Zhao's Mansion when Xiao Shaoyuan had already decided to dismiss these concubines?
Xiao Yuanjiu didn't want to cause trouble for Xiao Shaoyuan, nor did she want to cause trouble for Xiao Yuanjin. In addition, she had a special status and had a confused biological mother like Zhang Meiren. Xiao Yuanjiu had long since given up hope on a good marriage and a husband, so she simply chose He continued to live in Huangjue Temple.

However, Zhang Meiren, whom she wanted to accompany and take care of, obviously did not care about Xiao Yuanjiu's good intentions.

Zhang Meiren doesn't want a stable life with a pure heart and few desires. She just wants to live a better life than before through the eldest princess.

Hearing Yu Zizhen ask her whether the eldest princess knew anything about it, Zhang Meiren subconsciously wanted to lie, but after meeting Yu Zizhen's half-smiling gaze, Zhang Meiren couldn't help but tremble.

This sudden sense of crisis made her suddenly recall that this person was not a fool to be fooled, but a true legend who founded Dahua as a woman.

"Yes, yes." The little person's survival instinct came into play again at this moment, and Zhang Meiren lowered her eyebrows and told the truth. Yu Zizhen hesitated, "In that case, how did Zhang Meiren come to say that the eldest princess lived a very poor life? As you said, the eldest princess has an older brother who took care of me when she was young. He is an acquaintance of mine. If that's the case, how did she manage to make her life very miserable?"

She highlighted the four words "very poor", not at all afraid that the people around her would have a different view of her and Xiao Yuanjin.

In fact, Yu Zizhen did not have any guilt at all. She had no secrets in her heart, so of course she wouldn't mind telling everything openly.

Zhang Meiren was speechless for a moment when she asked her question. She racked her brains for a long time before finally coming up with a reasonable explanation, "Yes, it's the eldest princess. She is afraid of causing trouble to you and the imperial husband, so what's the matter?" I endured it all by myself, not daring to find myself in front of you and the imperial husband."

Yu Zizhen chuckled, "As far as I know, King Zhao had already sent someone to invite the eldest princess before he married me. It was the eldest princess who didn't want to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion. She wanted to stay with Huangjue Temple. you."

Zhang Meiren felt like she was struck by lightning, "How is this possible?"

"How is it impossible?" After receiving the news that Zhang Meiren had run away, the eldest princess immediately spread her troops and finally found her whereabouts. She hurried over immediately and her face was livid with anger. "I did reject Zhao's whereabouts." The person sent by the palace to pick me up is indeed because I want to stay in Huangjue Temple and take care of you nearby."

At this point, the eldest princess no longer cares about her and Zhang Meiren's reputation. She can't care about the family scandal that should not be made public. She only knows that she must not let Yu Zizhen and Xiao Yuanjin's reputation be damaged because of her.

She blinked slightly, and two lines of tears immediately rolled down her cheeks.

"You don't want to take the severance money and go back to your parents' home, and I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone in Huangjue Temple. Can't I just stay there and take care of you?"

"Although I am very sorry for my father, after all, my father still has brothers and them, but you only have me. I can't bear that you are alone, always accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, so I reluctantly gave up reuniting with my father."

"My father and brother were considerate of me. Not only did they not embarrass me because of my selfishness, but they also always took good care of me. I couldn't even thank you enough. How could I be so unsatisfied that I needed you to sneak out, and you didn't hesitate to clash with His Majesty to cry for me?" To the point of injustice?”

"Now that you are running in front of His Majesty and saying this, are you accusing me of neglecting my father just to be filial to you?"

Zhang Meiren shook her head subconsciously, of course she didn't mean it! The eldest princess crawled out of her belly. Isn't that what the eldest princess should do to think about her? On the contrary, if she doesn't care about herself, then she really deserves to be struck by lightning!

She eagerly denied it, "Of course not! I do, I don't want you to continue living in Huangjue Temple."

She didn't care if the dead girl couldn't live in Huangjue Temple, but if the dead girl lived in Huangjue Temple, she couldn't live in Prince Zhao's Mansion under the pretense of taking care of her daughter. This was something Zhang Meiren couldn't bear.

She wants to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion, she wants to live a good life!
