I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Lin Jin didn't remember this character in the book. This means a new character card has been unlocked. If his calf was amputated, he would pose no threat among the princes. Is that why he can stay in the capital?

"Okay, I understand." Lin Jin was not interested in other people's affairs. They were just disabled people. There would be the Paralympics in the future. She had seen everything. "I heard that a princess who was stranded outside was found recently. That princess will also choose a consort today. Is this true?"

Jing'an hesitated to speak, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"Isn't it? I heard what Song Shiqiu said. It turns out he was teasing me." Lin Jin looked like he was fooled and was a little annoyed.

Jing'an sighed, "I'm not lying to you. It's true. It's just that my mother had originally planned to do so. But my sister had a nightmare again last night and was ill, so she didn't come."

Lin Jin's heart tightened. This was too coincidental. "When did this happen? Zhi Ning is a very good doctor. Otherwise, I'll ask Zhi Ning to treat her."

If we can't meet him, then there's no point in asking Liu Zhengqing to come along.

"It was last night." Jing'an's brows were still filled with worry. "Sister was frightened a few days ago, so she has had nightmares and convulsions at night. Although I know you have good intentions, mother will not let someone she is not familiar with treat sister."

"So that's how it is." Lin Jin didn't know what to say next, so she just nodded. "But if it's always like this, we can't keep dragging it on. If you need my help, just tell me."

Jing'an accepted her kindness and said, "I'll mention it to my mother next time. It's really worrying if my sister continues like this. Who knows, maybe they will allow them to treat my sister."

Lin Jin smiled and nodded. Since she couldn't see the woman, she could only put the matter aside for the time being and find an opportunity to find out later. Moreover, even if she took a step back, frequent convulsions at night could have a great impact on the body. She really hoped that the other party would get better.

The carriage entered the palace with green tiles and red walls. Lin Jin lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look. The bricks and tiles seemed to be carefully designed. They were gorgeous but also oppressive. The high palace walls seemed to be saying that if you want to get out, you must grow wings. The people inside seemed to have become frogs in a deep well, and could only see this world.

Because frogs have no wings, they cannot escape from this place and can only stay here until they die, so they can only fight to the death.

"Does it look good? That piece of glazed tile is priceless, a symbol of status and power." Jing'an looked at Lin Jin meaningfully, not surprised at her absent-mindedness at all, "Many people are blinded by such vanity."

Lin Jin lowered the curtain, retracted his gaze and looked at Jing An: "I don't think it's very beautiful, I just feel very depressed."

"It doesn't look good?" Jing'an lifted the curtain on his side, a little unbelieving, "Why doesn't it look good? Do you know that every brick and tile is very particular?"

"Oh, I remember now. When you were in the academy, you couldn't tell good from bad. You couldn't taste the difference between calligraphy and painting or tea."

Lin Jin smiled and did not refute. This was true, but the reason why she felt it was ugly was because the depressing atmosphere of this place had long overshadowed the splendor. Between wealth and freedom, she would always choose the latter.

"Freedom?" Jing'an heard Lin Jin muttering the words and didn't take it seriously. "What if you lose everything for the so-called freedom? Then you will become a beggar on the street. You won't say that then."

"You're right." Lin Jin didn't argue with her. Only those who have been bound and lost their freedom know the importance of freedom.

Lin Jin originally thought that Jing'an would be sitting in the main hall when choosing a prince consort, and those young men would stand in the hall for Jing'an to choose from, but the reality was quite different from what she thought.

A group of young men dressed in brocade robes and mink furs were standing in the imperial garden and chatting, while Jing'an and Lin Jin were on a small building in the distance. Only their outlines could be seen, and their faces could not be clearly seen.

Lin Jin looked at Jing'an who was observing the young masters through a telescope, and then looked at the exquisite screen: "So what is the use of this screen?"

"They are useless now. They will be useful later." Jing'an closed one eye and looked at this and that with the telescope. The more he looked, the tighter his brows frowned. "It looks like that. They are all mediocre people."

Lin Jin looked for Liu Zhengqing among the group of young masters, but he didn't see him after looking around for several times: "Why can't I see my brother? I remember he was here too. He should be here."

Because she had an appointment to enter the palace with Jing'an, she did not go with Liu Zhengqing, but since the other party had agreed yesterday, he would definitely not break the appointment.

"Liu Zhengqing?" Jing'an was surprised at first, but soon became angry. "Even if he comes, he won't be here with me. I don't want to humiliate myself."

She would never choose a man who had rejected her.

"Not here?" Lin Jin thought, that is to say, Liu Zhengqing was called into the palace specifically to be seen by that woman, "Does the Queen Mother like my brother so much?"

"My mother does admire him, but the main reason is that Liu Zhengqing won the top three places in the imperial examinations, and he has made great achievements in recent years. Most importantly, Liu Zhengqing has never married, and there are no concubines in his house. My mother thinks he must be a reliable man."

Jing'an enumerated the advantages of Liu Zhengqing that made him favored by so many noble ladies, "Not being interested in women means that after you marry him, you don't have to worry about a bunch of monsters in the backyard."

He has power but does not have those messy family relationships, so he does not need to worry about being bullied.

Lin Jin thought about it, and it seemed that the reason why Song Shiqiu was so popular at the beginning was because of this. The situations of Liu Zhengqing and Song Shiqiu cannot be said to be exactly the same, but they can be said to be no different.

There was a sound coming from the stairs blocked by the screen. Lin Jin was about to look over, but was stunned by the telescope thrown by Jing An: "What, what's wrong? Don't you want to look anymore?"

"It's a misshapen thing." The more Jing'an looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became.

"Jing'an, that's so rude. How can a princess speak so rudely?" The man in a wheelchair was pushed across the screen by his servants.

Lin Jin thought that this person must be the Tenth Prince. Just as she was about to stand up, the other party seemed to understand her intention and raised her hand to exempt her from the formalities: "This must be the Prime Minister's wife, no need to be polite. Today, Jing'an will be the main person."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Jin felt relieved. From what he saw so far, the other party didn't seem to be a difficult person to get along with.

Jing'an crossed his arms and snorted, his face full of dissatisfaction: "You are like this again, always like this, always so rigid, I didn't say anything wrong, why can't I say it."

That's why she has disliked this royal brother since she was a child, and she always said this and that was not acceptable.

Lin Jin didn't know what to say, so he could only pretend to be very busy and study the telescope to see what the difference was between it and the telescopes of later generations.

She was studying the telescope and saw Liu Zhengqing. He was following a palace servant on the long palace road towards another palace. She put down the telescope and blinked: "Brother?"

Are you going to see the princess?

Lin Jin continued to observe Liu Zhengqing's situation with a telescope, but soon he disappeared around a corner. Another palace blocked her sight, and she could not judge where Liu Zhengqing had gone.

"What are you looking at? Am I right? They all have very ordinary looks and I don't know how knowledgeable they are." Jing'an's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, causing Lin Jin's heart rate to fluctuate.
