Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 525: The "Frustrated" Young Marquis in a World of Female Dominance

Having stayed at the bottom of society for so long, he almost couldn't remember what his former wealthy life was like.

He even once dreamed of becoming the father of the country and reaching the highest point.

But the reality is that he is getting further and further away from his dream. Now, even the life of the most ordinary people in Dongchi Country has become out of reach for him.

Just as I was in a trance, I suddenly heard a noisy voice coming from afar, and there seemed to be the sound of gongs clearing the way and drums beating.

“Here I come, here I come.”

Chef Cai said excitedly.

At the same time, everyone else in the kitchen also quickened their movements.

Seeing Wei Shimu's bewildered look, Chef Cai said with a smile while busying himself with his work:

"You don't know, kid? I heard that the guests coming to our manor today are all distinguished guests from the palace. So, we have to show off our skills today."

Then he said to Wei Shimu:

"Keep the fire going, don't rush back. If the cooks ask for a reward later, you won't get any of it!"

Wei Shimu's mind was a little shaken.

A noble lady in the palace?

Who.

Could it be her? After all, looking across the entire Dongchi Kingdom, there is no one more noble than her. But even if it is her, what good will it do him?

Lu Liluo probably wouldn't be able to recognize me in my current appearance.

While he was daydreaming, the firewood in the stove fell and sparks splashed on his hands. Wei Shimu came back to his senses with a hiss.

At the same time, a man who looked like a manager hurried over:

"This is incredible! His Majesty has arrived today with the Crown Prince and all the other masters in the palace. Anyone in the kitchen who isn't busy, please come out and greet us!"

"One by one, quick!"

Wei Shimu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't tell what he felt for a moment.

Chef Cai didn't think about it at all. He was so excited that he took off the apron in front of him and ran out without saying a word, pulling Wei Shimu.

While running, he kept muttering:

"Oh my god, may my ancestors bless me. If I can just see His Majesty the Emperor today, my life will be worth it!"

Seeing Wei Shimu's dull expression and his reluctant steps, he couldn't help but scold and laughed:

"What's wrong, Shitou? Are you crazy with joy? Let me tell you, for ordinary people like us, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"If you hadn't happened to help me today, with your legs full of dirt, you would never have had the chance to see the emperor in your lifetime."

"After today's incident, I guarantee you'll be able to brag about it for the rest of your life!!!"

Soon, they were swept up by a surging crowd and arrived outside the gate. From a distance, they saw a long procession of ceremonial guards slowly approaching the gate of the imperial manor.

“Don’t push me…”

"Who pushed you? Hey, Wang Laosan, don't squeeze me!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, everyone stand still. What will it look like to the nobles later..."

By the time the group of people finally stood up, the guard of honor was already in front of them.

"Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"

"Long live Her Royal Highness, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!!"

Wei Shimu had his head held down by Chef Cai. Without saying a word, he followed the crowd and knelt on the ground from a distance, shouting "Long live the chef!"

The moment the sedan chair landed, Lu Liluo waved his hand, signaling that the palace servants didn't need to help him. He dusted off his dragon robe and slowly stepped down from the imperial sedan chair.

Then he turned around, stretched out his hand to the imperial carriage, and helped Tang Jiting.

Behind the Emperor and his companions, Princess Lu Chenyu also dismounted from the sedan chair. Further behind them came Imperial Noble Lu Chengfeng, holding hands with Lu Caifeng, and Noble Yuan Xianjun, holding hands with Lu Wanjin.

Following them came the other husbands with their children, and the last one to swiftly jump off the sedan chair was Yuan Mubai. Even from such a distance, he still gazed at his queen with a pair of affectionate eyes, fascinated.

Lu Liluo: “…”

Hua Manlou was not as clingy as this kid at first.

But right now, there was no time for flirting. Lu Liluo's consciousness swept through the crowd and found Wei Shimu kneeling far behind.

I couldn't help but smile coldly.

The purpose of this trip was to bring a few husbands and children to promote farming and to spread some knowledge. But in fact, there was another purpose, which was to target Wei Shimu.

The original owner's wish was simple, she just wanted Wei Shimu to look up to her.

Lu Liluo had a different idea. At least he could try to get this person to contribute something to him in this life. As for looking up to him...

That's not easy!

Lu Liluo smiled evilly, took Tang Jiting's hand, and slowly walked towards Wei Shimu.

Wherever he passed, everyone bowed their heads and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Tang Jiting didn't understand why, but he still followed Lu Liluo's footsteps, lagging behind slightly and walking side by side with Lu Liluo.

Behind him, a group of husbands and children followed subconsciously.

Lu Liluo stopped walking until he was right in front of Wei Shimu, then he gave a cold command towards the top of Wei Shimu's head:

"You, raise your head!"

Wei Shimu had been keeping his head down, only able to see a small patch of slightly damp ground before him. Suddenly, a pair of bright yellow brocade boots embroidered with dragon patterns appeared before him.

Just as his pupils were dizzying, he heard Lu Liluo's voice, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, coming from above his head.

Then he subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the owner of the voice.

Lu Liluo, the figure before him, wore a golden crown and an embroidered robe resembling an empress's robes embroidered with nine-clawed golden dragons, appearing both noble and majestic. Her fair, handsome face was cold and expressionless, save for a pair of eyes that gazed upon him with a disdainful gaze, like that of a god.

At this moment, Wei Shimu suddenly felt a sense of inferiority from the bottom of his heart. He didn't even understand why he was so proud in front of this woman before.

At this moment, he vaguely remembered that the young and handsome emperor in front of him, his former fiancée, had always been so flamboyant and unrestrained.

It's just that at that time, this extremely flamboyant woman would always show a cautious and flattering look in front of him, so that he felt he could ignore her feelings.

But now, he will never see that kind of young marquis again, and he will never see that kind of love again.

Instead, there was the emperor standing high and mighty before him, while he himself became a lowly ant crawling at his feet.

At this moment, his life was not even as precious as the soil under her feet.

Wei Shimu's eyes moved to the side, sweeping over the dignified, noble, handsome and elegant Emperor Tang Jiting; the young Princess Lu Chenyu, who had already begun to show the temperament of an emperor; the Imperial Noble Lu Chengfeng, whose clothes were simple but every piece of clothing was noble; Lu Caifeng, who was staring at him with a pair of big eyes, curiously... Lu Wanjin, who was shining all over...

He kept seeing Yuan Mubai glaring at him fiercely.

Wei Shimu closed his eyes, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.

I could only bow my head deeply again:

"I, Shitou, bow to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Majesty. Long live His Majesty. Long live His Majesty. Long live His Majesty the Crown Princess!"

Then he prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to lift himself up again.
