Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Chen Wanruo has always placed high hopes and full of confidence in Feng Zihan, her goddaughter.

In her eyes, Feng Zihan was not only smart and considerate, but also very tactful and able to read people's expressions. What was even more rare was that Feng Zihan was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had outstanding attainments. Among the many famous ladies in the prosperous and bustling capital, she was also able to rank among the top.

According to common sense, it is impossible for the emperor to select only one person to accompany him in the palace during the election. Since Feng Zihan borrowed the name of their Feng family to participate in the election, with her outstanding talent, beauty and family background, Chen Wanruo firmly believed that she would stand out and be successfully selected.

However, what Chen Wanruo never expected was that the final result was far beyond her expectations - the emperor did not choose a single woman!

This fact was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Chen Wanruo's heart hard, leaving her so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.

Chen Wanruo sighed deeply with emotion and murmured to herself, "Alas...after all, my own biological daughter Yunxi is still the best!"

Chen Wanruo's eyes softened, as if she saw through the scene before her how Yun Xi looked when she first arrived in the capital. That smart, cute and well-behaved little girl has now grown into a graceful and talented queen.

She couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart, this child is indeed worthy of being her own blood flowing in his body, this innate intelligence and wit is truly admirable.

Yun Xi was able to hold her husband's heart so firmly and make him willingly love only her, which was exactly the same as Chen Wanruo herself back then.

There was only one concubine who had ever been with Minister Feng. After the concubine died, no other women had ever appeared by his side. Only Chen Wanruo had always been by his side.

"Yunxi looks so much like me!" Chen Wanruo raised her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. For the first time, she felt that her daughter looked like herself.

Recalling the night banquet, the emperor treated other women so coldly, as if they were just passing clouds and insignificant. For the first time, Chen Wanruo deeply realized that her biological daughter was by no means a useless straw bag as rumored by the outside world.

Look at Xiao Chenyi. Since he inherited the throne, his ability to govern the country has been obvious to all. Whether it is court affairs or trivial matters among the people, he has handled them in an orderly manner, making the country increasingly prosperous.

The only thing that was criticized was his taking concubines. But even so, people in the court and the public still praised his achievements.

Looking at Yun Xi again, if she was really as stupid and incompetent as everyone said, how could she have kept such a smart and capable man under her control and successfully ascended the throne of the queen of this country?

What's more, for her, Xiao Chenyi would rather bear the repeated requests of the ministers to take a concubine and favor her alone. That's not ordinary pressure resistance!

From this, it can be seen that Yun Xi must have extraordinary charm and extraordinary means to become the unique and highly-anticipated existence of Emperor Xiao Chenyi.

Chen Wanruo couldn't help but ponder: If the emperor doesn't like other women except Yun Xi, then there is no need for Zi Han to insist on entering the palace.

But, she was worried.

The relationship between Zi Han and the boss just now was not just that of an ordinary brother and sister.

Zi Han's family background was ordinary, so it would be fine for her to be the fourth brother's concubine. After all, he had raised her for some time, so he knew her inside out. If she followed the fourth brother, at least he could guarantee that she would have a worry-free life in the future.

But the eldest brother, that is absolutely not possible. The eldest brother is her hope, and the Feng family will rely on the eldest brother to support it in the future. The eldest brother's concubine can only be a woman from a famous family.

Even if Zi Han wants to follow the eldest brother, she has to wait three years until the eldest brother's concubine or concubine comes into the family.

Then Zi Han, can you wait?

Chen Wanruo didn't sleep all night.

She suddenly felt that she had put too much effort into irrelevant people, and that none of them had brought her any benefits.

First it was Feng Jiaojiao.

She gave everything to pamper her from childhood to adulthood, and finally became the queen. However, she gave so much to cultivate Jiaojiao, but received no reward at all, and Jiaojiao died.

It's all just a passing cloud!

Looking at Feng Zihan again now, Chen Wanruo had to admit that she was scared!

I’m afraid of meeting the same ending as Feng Jiaojiao.

She's just an adopted daughter I picked up along the way. Is it necessary for me to be so devoted to her?

If she gets better in the future, will she be able to be filial to me?

Chen Wanruo was a little skeptical.

If Zi Han was truly a filial woman, she shouldn't have had an affair with the eldest brother.

If Zi Han was a filial woman, she should have done her best to get close to the emperor in the palace.

Alas, after thinking about it, she really cannot be compared with her own daughter Yun Xi!

"Madam, would you like to wash up and rest?" The nanny came in after pulling aside the curtain.

It was late at night, and the lady was still sitting at the table, staring at the candlelight motionlessly. She was a little worried.

"Mammy, tell me, am I too cold towards Yun Xi?" Chen Wanruo murmured with a confused look in her eyes, her voice so soft that it seemed as if only she could hear it.

When the nanny heard this, she was stunned at first, then she immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "That's not true, Madam, you are a person of noble birth, elegant and generous temperament. Miss Yunxi grew up in the countryside since she was a child. She has not received any good education. It is inevitable that her behavior is vulgar and reckless. Naturally, she cannot meet your eyes."

Chen Wanruo was stunned after hearing this, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind like lightning - over the years, the nanny and several other servants in the mansion would always complain about Yun Xi's faults in her ears from time to time.

Whenever she had a little bit of compassion in her heart and wanted to be nicer to Yun Xi, someone would always point out Yun Xi's so-called faults and shortcomings in time, and then the little bit of warmth that had just emerged would be forcibly suppressed, making her become the mother who was extremely indifferent to Yun Xi again.

Thinking of this, Chen Wanruo couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, secretly thinking: Could it be that I have really fallen into a crazy obsession and can't extricate myself over the years? After all, Yun Xi is my own flesh and blood, so why do I always dislike her so much?

Perhaps, the reason why those servants slandered Yun Xi so unscrupulously was that they thought they had figured out the mind of their master and just tried to please her. However, now thinking about it, is this approach right or wrong?

Chen Wanruo sighed: "Starting tomorrow, I have to keep my subordinates under control. I can't let them say bad things about Yun Xi anymore. She was born after ten months of pregnancy, and she is also the current queen!"
