Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 351 The Cat Demon who repays the wrong favor helps the female supporting role ascend the thr

In the blink of an eye, An Jing had already spent a whole month in the laundry department. During this time, due to Nanny Zhang's deliberate harassment and torture, her originally plain appearance became even more haggard and vicissitudes of life.

Jin Ling in the system space also discovered that the other party's heroine aura had also dropped by 5%, and told Su Lan the good news.

You must know that she is living a very carefree life now. All she has to do every day is to serve as a think tank for Nalan Rongruo and give him occasional advice.

However, if she encountered officials who upset her, she would transform into her true form, silently leaping onto the walls of other people's houses, eavesdropping on those unknown secrets. After obtaining key information, she would return to Nalan Rongruo without anyone noticing and tell him all his weaknesses and shortcomings.

In addition, with Feng Yan speaking up for him and providing strong support in the court, Nalan Rongruo's situation was completely different from the past.

Back then, if she dared to express her own views on state affairs, she would be immediately ruthlessly refuted and counterattacked by her six royal brothers and their followers. They would even shamelessly accuse her of being a woman, short-sighted and shallow-minded, and unable to handle important tasks.

Take the flood control and prevention strategy proposed by Wenbo this time for example. Nalan Rongruo not only carefully compiled it into a memorial and submitted it to the emperor, but also tried his best to seek credit and reward for Wenbo, hoping to help him gain the court's high trust.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince's followers were the first to jump out and sing a different tune. One of them sneered with disdain, "Your Highness is still young and inexperienced. You actually believed the absurd lies made up by an ignorant old man!"

"Second Imperial Sister, water conservancy issues concern the lives and property of millions of people! You must not treat them so frivolously!"

The Third Prince walked out of the procession with a solemn expression. After bowing deeply to the emperor, he turned around and faced Nalan Rongruo, saying earnestly, "I second your request and implore the Second Emperor not to act on his own, lest this lead to disaster!"

As soon as the words fell, a resounding chorus of voices echoed: "We second the motion!" It turned out that the ministers who supported the Third Prince also stood up to express their support. For a moment, the court was filled with noise and the atmosphere became tense.

However, in the face of so many opposing voices, Nalan Rongruo remained calm, staring coldly at the people before him, as if he was secretly memorizing each person's face and the party they stood for.

She knew very well that the words and actions of these people today would become strong evidence when she would settle the accounts in the future.

At this moment, the emperor, who had been sitting in silence on the dragon throne, finally opened his mouth slowly. His majestic gaze swept across everyone present as quickly as lightning, finally resting on Nalan Rongruo. In a low and slightly questioning tone, he asked softly, "Ruo'er, now that things have come to this, do you still insist on appointing this person?"

The atmosphere in the court was unusually solemn. At this moment, Feng Yan, who had remained silent until then, suddenly stepped forward. Standing tall and straight like a pine tree, he spoke in a resonant voice, "I have a suggestion. Your Majesty, please listen. My colleagues, please also consider it carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire court fell silent, all eyes focused on Feng Yan. He then mercilessly questioned the ministers who had opposed Mr. Wen Zhong: "Do you know how hard farmers work to grow food? Can you accurately predict tomorrow's climate changes by observing celestial phenomena? Have you ever personally investigated the direction of river branches?"

Faced with Feng Yan's string of pressing questions, the ministers looked at each other, unable to answer for a moment. Overwhelmed by Feng Yan's aura, they could only avoid his piercing gaze, not daring to meet his gaze.

However, Feng Yan did not give up. He turned to face the emperor again, bowed, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I fully agree with the Second Princess' proposal. Moreover, I would like to appoint Wen Zhong as the Director of the Waterworks Department of the Ministry of Works to prove that Mr. Wen Zhong is truly a virtuous and capable person, not an ignorant one."

The emperor looked at Feng Yan, who had a serious face and no intention of joking at all, and his heart was moved. Then he picked up the memorial again and read it carefully.

After carefully reading it twice, the emperor found that this man named Wen Zhong indeed had many outstanding qualities and desirable talents. So, the emperor made a quick decision and happily agreed to the requests of Nalan Rongruo and Feng Yan.

The princes and officials looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes. No one had expected that this time the emperor would agree to the idea proposed by Nalan Rongruo without hesitation.

Although they had objections in their hearts and some even wanted to refute it, facing the decision the emperor had already made, they knew that they were powerless to reverse the situation.

This decision was undoubtedly a major turning point for Nalan Rongruo. It not only meant that he could take this opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the court, but also laid a solid foundation for his future success in winning over the hearts of the people.

The female supporting role's career is booming, but the female lead is still working hard to wash clothes.

On this day, sunlight filtered through the clouds onto the courtyard of the laundry department. An Jing was bent over, scrubbing the pile of palace maids' clothing with great effort. Sweat streamed down her forehead, soaking her hair, but she dared not slack off for even a moment.

At this moment, a whisper reached her ears. She looked up and found that two young palace maids were whispering to each other not far away, vaguely mentioning words like "leaving the palace" and "resting".

Out of curiosity, she quietly put down the clothes in her hands and tiptoed forward, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

As they got closer, they heard one of the young palace maids excitedly say, "I heard that in two days it will be our semi-annual rest period. We can leave the palace and relax!" Another young palace maid echoed, "Yes, I've been looking forward to this for a long time. I can finally go home to see my parents."

Hearing this, An Jing's heart couldn't help but move. Isn't this the perfect opportunity for her to escape from this shabby laundry room? Thinking of this, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened a few beats.

As long as she could take advantage of the rest period to leave the palace, she would be able to go to the route Feng Yan had to take before leaving court, and then find a way to attract his attention.

To the ancient people in their novels, people like An Jing, who came from the modern era and knew a lot of knowledge, were simply outliers.

She was confident that simply reciting two classic ancient poems would earn the admiration of the ancients. Furthermore, she possessed effective methods for flood control, and if she could demonstrate these to Feng Yan, she might win his heart.
