The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

“His Royal Highness,” Qin Xin called Gu Jing with a smile. “This is my third sister. She had returned to the mansion just yesterday. She grew up among the people. But unfortunately…” Having said this, she gave a look of pity to Qin Gui.

Qin Xin hadn’t even finished her words but everyone understood what she meant.

Qin Gui grew up in a village since childhood. She had no education and did not know any etiquette. Perhaps she didn’t even know how to read ‘A’.

Several ladies covered their mouths and snickered, looking at Qin Gui with sympathy, lament, and contempt.

Qin Gui heard it loud and clear. She heaved a helpless sigh. She felt that her villainous supporting character was really conscientious. She hadn’t done anything but was hated by the hero and heroine.

This wasn’t her fault!

Qin Gui didn’t care about the contemptuous gazes around her. She gazed at Qin Xin kindly and exhorted, “You can’t say that. There is a saying, the people are the most important element of the state, next are the gods of land and grain, and least is the ruler himself. Second sister, you cannot look down on the people.”

When did I look down on the people!? Qin Xin was so shocked that the veins on her forehead were almost about to burst.

Interesting! Gu Zezhi looked at Qin Gui with great interest. This little girl looks as if she is waiting for death but she would not let anyone step on her.

Seeing Gu Jing’s gaze fall on Qin Gui again, Qin Xin clenched her handkerchief and said, quickly changing the subject, “His Royal Highness, I just drew a portrait of the Queen Mother of the West. I was thinking about offering it to Empress Dowager during the autumn festival. Can you help me check if there are any shortcomings? I always feel that I haven’t painted the Queen Mother of the West’s aloofness.”

Empress Dowager had always believed in Taoism. And Qin Xin painted this Queen Mother of the West as the birthday gift during the autumn festival a month later.

“Sister Xin, don’t underestimate yourself. Your picture of the Queen Mother of the West is very beautiful. It’s truly unique.” A lady in rose red dress marveled.

“Yes! Sister Xin’s painting is exquisite. I can’t see any flaws in it.”

Gu Jing’s interest was aroused. He suggested to Gu Zezhi, “Royal Uncle, do you want to take a look?”

Gu Zezhi wasn’t interested. He indifferently said, “You do it yourself.”

What’s so good about the painting? This little girl is even more interesting! Gu Zezhi looked at Qin Gui with a smile on his face. Qin Gui, the target of his gaze, was having jitters. She always felt that the other party was having some wicked ideas.

Gu Zezhi might disregard Gu Jing but other people still have to give him face. Therefore, everyone surrounded the desk and evaluated the Queen Mother of the West, one after another. And everyone praised it well.

Princess Yingluo suddenly spoke, “By the way, I heard that Daoist Yun Guang is also in the Shenghua Pavilion today. Why don’t you ask her to check for Sister Xin?”

Taoist Yunguang was the Taoist aunt of Xuan Qingguan of the capital, who was pretty famous in the capital. Rumor had it that she had profound Taoist skills and was proficient in the art of eight trigrams, five elements and geomancy.

Shenghua Pavilion was planning to rebuild the garden recently. She was invited to do Feng Shui today. The only reason she came was because of the Tai Royal House.

If this Queen Mother of the West was praised by Taoist Yunguang, then it would be a good story for Empress Dowager.

Other ladies also nodded in agreement.
