I’m The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book

    The straight-tempered madam was afraid of his fierceness: "...I don't mean that."

　　Shen Mingyun: "It's not that I want to argue with you, however can you stop talking about people behind their backs, it shows that both of you have no manners."

　　At this point, the faces of the two madams were slightly stiff. Shen Mingyun said that they had no manners, which would greatly affect their character and friendship in the future, so they began to wipe their tears on the spot.

　　Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin looked at each other, and he was the only one who was the most suitable for this scene, so he could only come to the rescue: "Today is a happy day, Mingyun, don't be self-willed, hurry up and see if the fourth brother and little nephew are back? It's just a small matter, there’s nothing to bicker about.”

　　Anger was written on Shen Mingyun's smooth and round face, however he always suffered losses from Luo Shuyu, and over time, he developed a habit of not having verbal arguments with Luo Shuyu, because he never gained the upper hand.

　　Shen Mingyun said in a low voice, "It's not that I talked to them first."

　　Luo Shuyu also said in low voice: "Then you can't argue with them like this, hurry up and go to see your son, or when the emperor comes over later, he will scold you first."

　　Although Shen Mingyun didn't like Luo Shuyu, what he said was never wrong, so he reluctantly listened to him this time, and went out to find the Fourth Prince and his son first.

　　After Shen Mingyun left, Luo Shuyu smiled slightly, and said to the two madams: "The fourth imperial concubine has such a quick temper. He is young and ignorant, so the two madams shouldn't take what he said before to heart." He turned his head and said to Qingwang, "Go and give a copy of the special products I brought back from Gucheng to the two madams, today is father's birthday, let's celebrate his birthday properly."

　　The two madams didn't dare to wipe their tears anymore, they kept thanking Luo Shuyu: "Thank you, Third imperial concubine."

　　He did this to appease both parties. It was very fair and just. It seemed that Shen Mingyun had suffered a little grievance, however he defined Shen Mingyun as young and ignorant, and he didn't say that Shen Mingyun didn't understand etiquette, it was just a petty quarrel. As for the two madams, he also gave them face, and they wouldn't be excluded when interacting with others in the future.

　　Of course, Luo Shuyu hoped that Shen Mingyun would make an embarrassment for himself and make everyone think that he was an uneducated and rude person. However he couldn't do this openly, he could only let others see his impartial and fairness, how to deal with it, he must hold a bowl of water level, and left a good impression.
[一碗水端平 yī wǎn shuǐ duān píng: lit. to hold a bowl of water level (idiom); fig. to be impartial.]

　　After this little incident, his good reputation naturally spread among the madams, the backyard was a terrifying place, although he didn't like to play tricks, but now he had no choice.

　　However, watching Shen Mingyun ate turtle, he could also get some pleasure from it.
[吃憋 chībiē : lit. Eat turtle; fig. to fail).

　　Li Mingjin gave Luo Shuyu a thumb up under the table, and whispered to Luo Shuyu, "Wife, you are much better than me."

　　Luo Shuyu said: "Then Your Highness needs to learn a little bit."

　　Li Mingjin: "Learn what?"

　　Luo Shuyu: "From now on you need to learn how to help when the child urinates."

　　Li Mingjin who was molested: "..." I still remember what happened last night.

　　While the two were talking, everyone assumed that what happened just now had never happened, and the fourth prince came back with Shen Mingyun and his son.

　　After a while, Emperor Tiansheng brought his concubines to the banquet.

　　When the banquet started, the first thing was to offer the gifts.

　　This time the finale was not the fourth prince and Shen Mingyun, but Li Mingjin.

　　Everyone gave Calligraphy, ancient paintings and other gifts according to Emperor Tiansheng's preferences, and the screen from the fourth prince was also praised by Emperor Tiansheng. Probably because the distance was a bit far, so he couldn't see the beautiful face who similar to empress, so the fourth prince could pass the test.

　　The eunuch shouted at this time: "The third prince has a gift!"

　　Li Mingjin patted his hem, and stepped forward to salute Emperor Tiansheng: "Father, this son's congratulatory gifts may be different from everyone's."

　　Emperor Tiansheng's eyes lit up, he had been waiting for this gift all night.

　　When he thought of the birthday banquet in the previous years, the third child never disappointed him.

The author has something to say: The Third Prince: Wife, today I'm the powerful A of the empire, and you are the weak O. You like me and confess to the strong me, but I refuse because I think you are too weak to be worthy of me.

Luo Shuyu: On the morning after you reject me, I switch soul with you, later I become you, and you become me. I can get the body I have dreamed of, and you ask me and want to get your body back, but I reject you and say I that I don't know you. Since then, I have been invincible on the battlefield, victorious in every battle, and I'm the idol of the whole planet. And you, you can only be an O all your life, and you can only keep regretting that you rejected me at the beginning. However, after there is no war, I'm free. In order to see your face full of regret, I raise you, watching you arrange flowers, cook, and do handicrafts everyday. If that body is not my body, I still want you to give birth to children for me.
