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

Yueying thought to herself that this might be the end for them. She turned sideways, waiting for Chu Chen to completely let go of her, and then turned around and left silently, just like in the TV dramas.

In fact, he let go of her hand and gently wiped the tears from her face.

"Wait for me, I also want to be with Yueyue for the rest of my life."

Chu Chen kissed her forehead, then left without further explanation.

So what does this mean? Is this a scumbag quote?

In the days that followed, in addition to learning etiquette, Yueying hired a female master from a martial arts school to teach her some systematic boxing and kicking skills.

The original owner had learned some fancy sword techniques before, but because he didn't take it too seriously, he could basically only scare small thieves. When a real fight came, it was just like the last time, not very useful.

I don’t know whether the palace coup will affect my own princess mansion. After all, the butterfly effect deviation is still quite large now.

On the first day of her apprenticeship, Yueying told her master clearly that she should not be soft-hearted and that she wanted to learn real kung fu.

Then... in the first few days, Yueying's legs were shaking when she walked, let alone continuing to learn etiquette. She could only feel sorry for the little girls who were beaten by the nanny because of their improper etiquette, and at the same time feel sorry for the soreness in her own body.

In a blink of an eye, it was the princess's enthronement ceremony. The princess's mansion had been visited by guests in an endless stream since the past few days. Yueying watched as the mansion was overwhelmed with servants due to the daily reception of guests and counting of gifts.

Fortunately, the eldest prince helped with the arrangements and dispatched personnel from various royal palaces and the palace.

"Princess Anle has arrived~"

On the birthday, the princess's mansion was filled with ministers and their wives who came to congratulate her. When they heard that the princess had arrived, they stood up to salute, and then they saw a woman in pink walking slowly past them.

After the polite greeting, all the adults and their families who had never met Chu Yueying were amazed at the extraordinary temperament of the woman of high status.

The dress has a pink gradient, ruffles made of tulle, and a thin belt around the waist, outlining her slender waist. Her neck is white and slender, and her bright and translucent face has a light pink tint.

The person on the stage simply bowed to the fourth sister, fifth sister and sixth brother who were sitting side by side. Several younger sisters also bowed to her, and then they all took their seats.

Yueying looked at the two empty seats next to her and couldn't help muttering in her heart. The emperor said that Concubine Li was pregnant and it was not suitable for her to leave the palace, so he would not spend this birthday with her. The second son made a mistake and was punished at home, which meant that now the eldest prince and the crown prince were not here.

It’s interesting that the four people with the highest status didn’t come to her birthday party. Who knows what kind of gossip will be spread tomorrow.

Glancing down, Yueying saw Su Qing. Today she came as the daughter of Minister Su.

Su Qing's outfit today was extremely ordinary. Just like the party later in the original text, no one helped her to prepare and dress properly. Although she had a good foundation, her outfit looked a little ordinary when placed among the other ladies in the gorgeous crowd.

That is to say, Yueying was looking for her specifically, so she could see her.

Ever since Chu Chen said that he also wanted to be with someone, Yueying was shaken. As she cried that day, she found that she was really attracted to Chu Chen. Suddenly, it became difficult for her to choose between failing the mission and having a passionate love affair.

Especially since she couldn't contact Xiao P, she even had some thoughts. Otherwise, she could live out her life with Chu Chen in this world under the identity of Chu Yueying.

While everyone was eating, drinking and watching the show, suddenly someone accidentally stained Su Qing's clothes. Yueying frowned and glanced at the people below. She hadn't yet ordered the servants to do it. She didn't know who was so bold as to cause trouble at the princess's birthday party.

Yueying called Rong'er over, asked her to take Su Qing to change into the fairy-like blue dress, and then asked her to do her makeup again.

As soon as the heroine left, the eldest prince and Chu Chen arrived together. Everyone bowed and the banquet continued.

At this moment, everyone present was wondering why the eldest prince came with the crown prince. The two had been competing secretly for a long time.

Yueying's previous angry mood suddenly calmed down a little. It was hard to tell whether it was because Chu Chen came.

After a while, Rong'er brought Su Qing back to the banquet. When Yueying saw them, she called out to attract everyone's attention.

"Su Qing, you look so beautiful in this outfit~"

When everyone heard the princess' praise, they all looked curiously at the woman who was about to return to her seat. She was wearing a water-blue outfit with no extra embellishments on her body. The same-color patterns were embroidered by hand, and the gold and silver threads added a sparkling feeling.

Except for the eyes which were painted with a light brown color to make them more lively, Su Qing used a very light pink color for the rest of her makeup. After attracting everyone's attention, she looked even more charming and beautiful.

Those with good eyesight were the first to respond to Yueying's praise.

"As expected of the Crown Prince's concubine, she is like a fairy."

Chu Chen heard it without a pause, and dealt with everyone's words officially throughout the whole process. Chu Yi stared at Yueying's profile, as if he wanted to figure out something.

Afterwards, Yueying thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out what was the point of her going through so much trouble to make the heroine shine. Was it because she fell in love with the hero and felt guilty?

Eating and drinking with everyone at the birthday party and putting on a smile really made Yueying exhausted.

In the end, she was already forcing herself to deal with the toasts and chats. Fortunately, there was a minister sitting below her, and the man helped her drink a lot of wine. She was dizzy and thought that after this matter was over and she had a few days to rest, she would definitely go to the man's house in person to thank him.

Two days later, the emperor summoned her, saying that Concubine Li missed her. Yueying didn't know that Concubine Li was not taking good care of her pregnancy and was planning to do something weird, but she could not disobey the emperor's order, so she had to go into the palace to accompany her.

It seemed as if a family of three had just finished their lunch happily. The emperor actually brought her and Concubine Li to the Yangxin Palace. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the eldest prince, the crown prince and... Isn't this the brother who blocked his way to drink that day?

The emperor sat in the main seat and added a soft stool next to Concubine Li. After everything was arranged, he began to praise this year's new top scholar and how satisfied he was.

Yueying didn't know what the emperor was planning. She heard about things like people's livelihood, but it had nothing to do with her after all.

"...Anle is of the right age. After much consideration, I decided to marry the Crown Prince on the same day. It would be a double blessing..."

"Anle~Why don't you thank me?"

Concubine Li was sitting on the upper seat, looking at her unresponsive daughter and urging Yueying to express her gratitude.

However, Yueying was still daydreaming and hadn't figured out what she was thanking him for. She could only look at the imperial concubine again, only to see her urging her with a smile on her face.

"Are you crazy with joy, kid?"

So it can’t be a bad thing, Yueying put on a smiling face and knelt down.

"Thank you, Father, for your grace~"

"Father!"

"Father!"

As Yueying knelt down to express her gratitude, two male voices were heard in the hall, but when they heard the other person speak, they both fell silent at the same time.

During this quiet moment, a man knelt down beside him and started talking.

"I accept your order and thank you."

Yueying's mind was working rapidly. Who else could the strange simultaneous voice just now be but the eldest prince and the crown prince?

What is this brother who blocks the wine thanking for?

Chu Yueying turned her head slightly and glanced at the handsome man kneeling beside her. Her mind was a little confused. Can anyone tell me what happened?

"Father, I think Anle's wedding cannot be rushed. There are two reasons. First, Anle has just regained her status and it will take her some time to adjust, but my wedding is next month. Second, if the princess' wedding is too hasty, it may cause some random suspicions."

Chu Chen saw that his elder brother, who had spoken at the same time as him, did not say anything else, as if he was waiting for him to speak first, although he did not know what his elder brother wanted to say, Yueyue's marriage could not wait, so after hesitating for a while, he spoke first.

Seeing that the emperor was a little shaken, the eldest prince jumped out.

"I second your proposal. We can ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate an auspicious day in half a year or a year."

WTF?

An Le wedding?

Yueying was deeply frightened by the key words she heard. What was going on? She was sold after she ran away. Who was she sold to?

My mind finally came back to me and I looked at the handsome guy kneeling next to me. He was just expressing his gratitude... If it was him, I could still accept it.

"I didn't expect that you all love Anle so much. It seems that I don't care enough about my own daughter. Then summon the Imperial Observatory to calculate carefully and report an auspicious day in two days."

"The slave obeys the order."

The chief eunuch beside the emperor received the imperial edict and left the Yangxin Palace.

Yueying wanted to give the emperor a doted smile in response, but when she looked up, she found that there was some dissatisfaction and even a little coldness in the emperor's smiling eyes as he looked at her.

I thought today might not be a good day, so I shouldn't go out or attend parties. My sixth sense told me that the emperor's dissatisfaction was directed at me, but what was the problem?

The matter was over. The top scholar Li Zixian, the handsome man Xie En, was the prince consort that Yueying accepted in a daze and sent her back to the princess's mansion.

Chu Yueying exchanged a few polite words with him and went back home to rest. She was really tired, and as soon as she entered the house, she locked all the maids out. She didn't wash her face or rinse her mouth, just fumbled around, stuffed her headdress next to her pillow, took off her coat, and fell asleep.

She slept until noon the next day. It was rare for her to sleep so long. Her biological clock has always been very accurate, and she usually wakes up naturally at eight or nine o'clock in modern time.

After getting up, I tidied myself up casually and asked Rong'er to bring lunch to my bedroom. What happened last night began to play slowly in my mind like a movie.

"Rong'er, why did the emperor suddenly think of granting me a marriage? There was no sign at all."

"Yes, there were rumors a few days ago that the emperor particularly admired the new champion and was interested in recruiting him as his consort. Just think about it, the fourth and fifth princesses are married, and the emperor loves you, so why would he recruit the young talent he admires most as your consort?"

While Rong'er was busy serving the dishes, she also answered the princess' questions seriously.
