I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

I don’t know if it was just a momentary impulse, but Yueying actually responded.

"it is good."

The next morning, Yueying woke up and recalled what she had agreed to last night.

There is obviously no more black hair, why?

"Xiao P, are you there?"

"Yes, host."

"Was I drugged last night?"

"Host, you are a miracle doctor, you can diagnose yourself."

"A doctor shouldn't treat himself, okay? Besides, in the world of novels, didn't you say there might be some original medicines?"

"Okay, check if there is any drug residue in the host's body."

“Has it been metabolized?”

This time Yueying was talking to herself.

"Host, are you feeling unwell?"

"Well, not really. It was just last night. Could it be that I was moved? But didn't Qingsi Rao stay in the last world?"

Xiao P knew what the host's doubts were, but he couldn't say that the fragments of the main god absorbed Qing Si Rao and affected her.

"Maybe the remaining emotions of the original owner are too strong?"

"Impossible. The original owner knew from a young age that she was carrying a false favor, and she was too scared to be afraid."

"Could it be that my sense of love has revived? Just like what is written in many fairy tales, the dead tree of love slowly sprouts?"

"You can understand it that way."

Thinking about it carefully, the host's understanding seems to be correct. After all, as a system, Xiao P realizes that his host should be attracted by the fragments of the main god.

Yueying thought that maybe it was because she had kept the Qingsiwuluo in her consciousness for too long that she was able to absorb the Qingsiwuluo's effects and make up for the loss of emotional detachment.

"Haitang, it seems quite lively outside today?"

Yueying was strolling in the yard and saw palace servants passing by the door in groups, a lot more than usual.

"I heard that there are envoys from foreign countries, and His Majesty is hosting a banquet for the envoys."

Although when writing novels, events are often written in leaps of several months or years, but the paper people in the small world really have to live their lives day by day. For the original owner, who was a cannon fodder and only had a few words about her, so many things actually happened during the life in the palace for more than half a year.

Yes, the new emperor has been on the throne for more than half a year, and foreign countries should have sent people to pay their respects.

The East Court Hall was very close to the front court, and from time to time the sound of stringed instruments could be faintly heard reaching her. Yueying secretly took some fruit from the space, then sat down in a corner of the courtyard, squinting her eyes and enjoying the music.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Prince Han appeared in the yard. It was too late for Yueying to hide the fruit, and she hurriedly used the hem of her skirt to cover it.

"My Lord, are you still here to look after the greenhouse at today's banquet?"

Fortunately, the prince just walked straight up to her and didn't look at her for long.

"My lady, this is the letter that Lord Ouyang asked me to bring to you before he left Beijing."

Yueying was already busy with so many fruits, and she looked even more embarrassed when she heard this. Perhaps this was within Prince Han's expectations, so he put down the letter, bowed and left.

Looking at the letter in her hand, Yueying found that her body was actually trembling slightly. Was there really any emotion left from her original self?

After calming down, Yueying realized that it was no wonder that the Queen Mother had promised to let Ouyang Zhe enter the palace, but he had not come yet. His sudden departure from the capital was probably Li Qixuan's operation. Yueying suddenly felt a chill on her neck. The Queen Mother...

Yueying looked at the prince's gradually receding back, took a deep breath, walked to a slightly secluded place deep in the greenhouse, and carefully opened the envelope.

Not to mention, he was the prince's companion after all, and the handwriting on the letter was neat, and every stroke revealed his rigorous character. In the letter, he explained the reason for his departure from Beijing. Due to the heavy rains in Jiangnan for several days, the flood was urgent and he had to rush to deal with it immediately, and asked Yueying to wait for him to come back.

After putting away the letter, Yueying walked out. As soon as she walked out of the greenhouse, she heard a noise outside her yard.

With the idea that less trouble is worse than more, she walked towards the inner courtyard. But just after she took two steps, she heard a tender child's voice crying.

Yueying paused, thinking it was none of her business, she comforted herself and continued walking back.

"Ah~"

The child's voice sounded again, and Yueying decided to go and take a look, so she turned and ran out the door.

A few steps out of the gate and around the side wall of the East Hall, Yueying saw several maids pinching and beating a little girl of six or seven years old. Next to her stood a woman in gorgeous clothes, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her expression was very proud.

"Stop it! You dare to cause trouble in the palace, are you trying to kill yourself?"

Yueying shouted loudly and stepped forward to push away the maids who were beating people.

"I... who are you?"

The palace maids who committed the violence noticed that the clothes worn by the man were not ordinary, so they did not dare to continue. The girl who seemed to be the master looked at Yueying and asked cautiously.

Yueying was only concerned with helping the little girl up from the ground and checking her injuries, and ignored the woman in gorgeous clothes.

"Which palace are you from?"

Although the little girl's face was dirty, her hands were extremely delicate and the palace maid's clothes were too big for her. She became suspicious. There were foreign envoys coming today, and there must be some noble ladies in the palace. This little girl might be someone's daughter and was bullied by a servant.

Seeing that the little girl just knew how to cry, Yueying took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the dirt off her face. The noble lady standing by saw that she ignored her, and her arrogance, which had just weakened, rose again.

"I'm talking to you, who are you?"

Seeing that Yueying was alone and had no servants following her, Shen Yao thought that she was just the favored daughter of some minor official. After all, she had met almost all the daughters of high-ranking officials in the capital.

"My lady, the lotus pond is brightly lit today. I'm sure the empress dowager, the ladies, and the officials' wives will come to admire it soon. Please be kind and let me take the little girl back to treat her wounds."

"A palace maid raised a wild cat that scratched this princess. No one would dare to say anything if she was executed. How dare you threaten me?"

She turned out to be a princess. No wonder she has such a bad temper. I just don't know whose family she is backing. At this critical moment, Yueying didn't want to cause trouble.

As if sensing something, the little girl in his arms broke free from him, ran to the grass beside him, picked up a white kitten, squatted on the ground, tears in her eyes.

"Princess, you have dealt with this kitten, and the little girl has also suffered a lot of injuries. Please let her go for the sake of the festive banquet in the palace today."

Seeing Yueying responding very cautiously, Shen Yao became more certain of her guess. Who did she think she was, as she dared to snatch someone from her?

"Since you care so much about this little maid, you will bear the rest of the punishment for her."

After saying that, Shen Yao winked at the maids around her, and they immediately understood what she meant and rushed forward to take action.

Yueying is not someone who can suffer a loss. Seeing that the princess is really arrogant and domineering, although her physical fitness is average, at least she has some martial arts memory. She cannot beat her, but she can still use her cleverness to dodge the attacks of the maids who also have little physical strength.

Just as a few people were arguing with each other, a group of people admiring the lotus suddenly appeared.

"How dignified!"

The Queen Mother stood in front of the crowd and with a shout, the people who were fighting all knelt down.

Yueying even lowered her head to the dust. The Zhao family had not yet overturned the verdict, so she should not appear in front of so many people at this time.

The princess not only did not kneel down, but also ran towards the empress dowager and pulled her sleeve affectionately.

"Aunt~"

Yueying buried her head and heard this voice, only then did she realize that this princess actually had the support of the Shen family, with the emperor and the empress dowager behind her. No wonder.

"Aunt, look at that..."

Just as Shen Yao was about to complain, she saw the little palace maid who was beaten by her and screamed, rushing towards the Queen Mother with the dead white cat in her arms, and threw herself into the arms of the Grand Princess. So the words she wanted to complain were stuck in her throat.

"Xin'er, what's wrong with you?"

The eldest princess saw that her granddaughter's face, neck and exposed arms were all covered with wounds, and she burst into tears.

"She fell to death and hit me."

Yan Xiner pointed her index finger at Shen Yao, then pointed at Yueying who was kneeling not far away.

"Sister, save me."

Li Qiyun arrived later and saw Yueying kneeling there. He didn't care about the eyes of many people, he stepped forward and pulled the person up, then left with the person in his arms in full view of everyone.

At this moment, Yueying felt that it was a good idea to leave like this. It was better for others to suspect her identity than to reveal her identity under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Although the Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with the Emperor's behavior, it was also beneficial to her. Obviously, it would be best not to create a confrontation at this moment.

"Once the emperor has investigated this matter, he will give an explanation to the Grand Princess."

The eldest princess was the elder sister of the previous emperor. She had participated in political affairs. The previous emperor gave her something similar to the imperial sword, which could behead tyrants and traitors. Most importantly, she also had a gold medal that exempted her from death.

"What else do you need to investigate? Doesn't this grandson understand what I'm saying? Or is the Queen Mother planning to protect the daughter of the Shen family?"

"Yao'er, why don't you apologize to Princess Xinning?!"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly and sighed.

"A princess who was later conferred the title actually dared to attack the emperor's relatives. The women raised by the Shen family are really brave!"

The eldest princess loved her granddaughter so much that she didn't want her granddaughter to get hurt at home. But when she entered the palace, she was beaten all over. She didn't know how many scars there were on her little body under her clothes. The more she thought about it, the colder her eyes became when she looked at the Queen Mother and Shen Yao.

Shen Yao only had the title of princess, but Yan Xiner had a title. So as both were princesses, in terms of etiquette, Shen Yao was still inferior to Yan Xiner, not to mention that Yan Xiner was truly of royal blood.

"Come here, take Shen Yao away and beat her with thirty sticks. These maids are not able to persuade the young master, drag them away and beat them to death."

The eldest princess directly brought up the upbringing of the Shen family's daughter. Shen Huanxi knew that she could not get away with it today. She gritted her teeth and ordered Shen Yao to be beaten with thirty boards. She would not be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month.

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is busy with many things every day. The new generation of my mother's family should abide by their duties and share the worries of the Emperor."

The eldest princess had a mocking expression on her face and slapped the empress dowager hard on the face with these words. She never expected that even though she was the empress dowager, she would allow another woman to be humiliated like this in front of foreign envoys and a group of officials' wives.

"Did I cause you trouble?"

After being carried back to the bedroom by Li Qiyun, Yueying bit her lower lip and asked hesitantly, although she didn't think she had done anything wrong in her heart.

"What about the secret guards? Is that how they protect you?"

"what?"

As he spoke, Li Qiyun began to pull Yueying's belt, and she hurriedly grabbed his rebellious hands.

"I'm fine. They didn't hit me, they hit that little girl."

Li Qiyun stopped what he was doing and looked at Yueying's blushing face. Only then did he realize that his behavior was inappropriate. He touched her hair with a little apology and a smile.

"I'm glad that Xiaoying'er isn't hurt. You stay here obediently. I still have some chores to take care of."

"it is good."

Yueying lowered her eyes, and Li Qiyun saw her shy look clearly. She strode out happily.

After Li Qiyun left, Yueying sat on the bed and felt worried. The empress dowager, who was already dissatisfied with the emperor's liking for her, was probably even more annoyed with her after what happened today.

Alas, the so-called deep sisterly love between me and my mother turned out to be nothing more than plastic sisters. When interests are involved, they are nothing.

"Begonia!"

After a while, Yueying wanted to ask what happened just now, and wanted Haitang to find out.

"Aunt, Miss, Aunt Haitang has gone back to her room to rest."

A little palace maid heard Yueying calling someone and took the initiative to come in and answer.

No one was allowed to enter the bedroom of the East Court Hall unless it was being cleaned, so the little palace maid stood awkwardly at the door. Although she had never seen her master punish anyone, she was afraid of breaking the rules and making her master unhappy.

Yueying was stunned for a moment and felt something was wrong. Then she thought of Li Qiyun's anger when he carried her back, and she realized that Haitang might have been punished.

This was truly an unexpected disaster. Yueying stood up and walked towards Haitang's small room. She pushed the door open and saw a little palace maid applying medicine to Haitang.

"Haitang, are you okay?"

"Why is the girl here? I'm fine."

As she said this, she was about to pull up her clothes, cover the wound, and stand up.

Yueying hurriedly held the person down gently, took the ointment from the little palace maid, smelled it, and found it was a low-grade medicine, but fortunately Haitang's injury was not too serious.

"Today I just heard a little kid crying outside the wall, so I went out to check. I didn't expect that I would cause you to be punished."

"My lady, you are mistreating me. I deserve to be punished. I didn't follow you closely and made you suffer."

Haitang really blamed herself. The emperor assigned her to look after the girl, but she didn't do her job well.

"If I had asked you to go with me, I wouldn't have let you suffer this physical pain."

"Saving people is the most important thing. How can you think about so many things at that time? Please don't blame yourself, girl."

Haitang didn't expect Yueying to come to her and apologize for this matter and apply medicine to her. She was deeply touched.

"Young lady, you know that the person we rescued today is the granddaughter of the eldest princess. However, the young Princess Shen was beaten with thirty boards, and the Queen Mother may have a grudge against you."

The eldest princess? Yueying didn't want to cling to such a high position, so she was worried about the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction.
