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

Chapter 172: Ordinary Girl from Aristocratic Family vs. Little General 04

"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

"Is there any need to ask? Who sent you here? Otherwise, can I ask you what your names are and where you live?"

"Empress Yue."

"Were you sent to her by the Emperor?"

"Yes."

"If you go back to Yue Fei, will she kill you?"

"will not."

"Well, that means the Emperor didn't know that the secret guards he sent to protect the concubine were sent by the concubine to assassinate her love rival, right?"

"Love rival?"

"Ah, this is a long story. I am Yan Yueying, the princess consort of the Marquis of Pingning Mansion."

"Just tell me why this prince sent you to kill her future sister-in-law, whom he has adopted as his adopted sister?"

"..."

The emperor's secret guards didn't want to hear Yueying's chatter about the palace secrets, and no one responded to her.

"Go back and report, and tell the imperial concubine that she wants to resolve this matter by force. Why not turn the enemy into a friend and help me get the person I want to marry."

When the secret guard returned to the palace, Zhan Mingyue was furious at first, but after calming down, he remembered to ask.

"Who does she want to marry?"

"Ms. Yan didn't say."

"Okay, back off."

Occupy the house.

Yueying sent away those secret guards from the palace and was so excited that she could hardly sleep.

In the original text, the emperor executed Sun Yinwu with tears in his eyes because of a minor defeat.

It was obvious that he was jealous of Zhan Mingyue's love for Sun Yinwu, so he found a reason to kill him.

I thought that if there really weren't any big traps in the Marquis's wedding, it wouldn't be impossible for me to marry in. After all, it was just a mission.

Who would have thought that the Marquis's Mansion would resort to using a substitute for his son? The young Marquis is not a sensible person either.

That's perfect, she can use this opportunity to find her 1,000 points.

The next day, Yueying wore a bright red dress, used modern cosmetics to put on exquisite makeup, and followed the male protagonist and the prince to a tavern.

This is a tavern frequented by men of letters and scholars, with debates and poetry competitions taking place in the hall all year round.

The moment Yueying entered the room, she saw Jinri playing Feihualing. In order to survive, she had studied so many worlds very hard, so playing Feihualing was nothing to her now.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

"Master, a woman came downstairs and performed the Flying Flower Order. Surprisingly, no one could defeat her."

"Girl? Whose lady?"

"From the accent, he doesn't seem to be from Beijing."

It has been several days since Yueying came to the capital. She heard that although the capital still values ​​military power, there are many officials, so it does not neglect civil power. But after a casual comparison today, she found that it is still far behind other ancient worlds.

After having enough fun, I was about to take off my clothes and go upstairs to do my business when I saw a man coming towards me.

"My name is Zhong Tianyang. I admire your talent very much. Could I invite you upstairs to have a chat?"

Zhong Tianyang appeared in the later court scenes in the novel. He seemed to be a civil servant and a think tank type of person. He also seemed to admire the heroine. Yueying guessed that he should be good friends with Sheng Shize, otherwise why could they cooperate so well in the later period.

"Mr. Zhong, please."

Without any hesitation, she agreed directly.

Pushing the door and entering the room, Zhong Tianyang spoke first.

"I have invited a talented woman."

"Gentlemen, you are polite."

Yueying greeted the greeting and pretended to be stunned.

"Why? Are you fascinated by the prince's handsome appearance?"

"Mr. Zhong is joking."

It was obvious that Yueying's tone was cold when she answered this question, which was exactly the opposite of the greeting she gave when she first entered the door.

Sun Yinwu, who had originally not paid any attention to the visitor, couldn't help but look up at the person.

Yueying came with a veil today, otherwise Zhong Tianyang would probably not have taken the initiative to invite her up after seeing her in person.

After sitting down, Zhong Tianyang handed Yueying a cup of tea, actually wanting the girl to take off her veil.

However, the moonlight only lifted a corner of my eyes, and I started to drink tea.

"It has a sweet and refreshing aroma, and a strong flavor that lingers on your lips and teeth. It is a good tea."

"Miss, do you like tasting tea? I like it too. I have a lot of tea at home. I can talk to you about it if I have the chance."

"There's a chance."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Sun Yinwu, the eldest son of the Marquis of Pingning, and this is Sheng Shize, the only son of the General of Zhenyuan."

"Hello, Prince. Hello, Master Sheng."

Looking at Zhong Tianyang's attitude, Yueying really didn't dare to be associated with the role of the think tank in the later part of the story. It was really a bit silly.

"Dare you ask the girl her name?"

"Yan Yueying, from Jinzhou."

When Yueying said this, Sun Yinwu and Sheng Shize both looked at her deeply.

Only Zhong Tianyang was still stupid and didn't react, and continued chatting with her.

"Are you here to visit relatives or for fun?"

"I'm here to ask for marriage."

"Please, please kiss me?"

Zhong Tianyang didn't expect this to be the answer and was speechless.

Sheng Shize, who had never been interested in women and was only devoted to martial arts, actually smiled at Yueying at this moment.

Sun Yinwu frowned. Although he agreed to the marriage arranged by his father, it did not mean that he really accepted this person.

Especially yesterday when he saw that the girl looked exactly like Mingyue, he missed his sweetheart whom he hadn't seen for a long time even more after returning home.

At this moment, Yan Yueying used some tricks to get into the box, which made him even more disgusted.

"You and I's marriage..."

"I wonder if Mr. Sheng is married?"

Yueying and Sun Yinwu spoke at the same time, the former looked at Sheng Shize with a smile in his eyes, while the latter looked at Yan Yueying with impatience on his face.

The air suddenly became still and the scene became awkward for a moment.

"Well, I remember now, you are Yinwu's wife-to-be?"

Zhong Tianyang broke the silence belatedly. He was only thinking that the girl he fell in love with at first sight was actually already taken.

"Given the prince's attitude, I think he is unwilling to marry me from the bottom of his heart. I cannot stand being wronged or suffering since I was a child."

"So you're here to break off your engagement with me?"

"I heard that my engagement with the prince has been reported to the emperor. If you want to cancel it, you have to find someone who can cancel it to marry me."

Yueying looked at Sheng Shize with a smile, waiting for his response.

Sun Yinwu looked at her mockingly, and Zhong Tianyang beside him also felt sorry for her.

Let alone things like snatching away his brother's marriage, he would be impatient even to let Sheng Shize come into contact with a woman.

"Miss Yan..."

"Don't be in a hurry to answer me. Think about it carefully first. Isn't there a banquet in two days? I will ask you again after I win the championship."

After speaking to Sheng Shize, Yueying stood up, said goodbye and left.

"This Miss Yan is a bit... tough."

Zhong Tianyang looked at Yueying's leaving back and uttered these words after a long while.

Sun Yinwude's expression was not very good at all. From beginning to end, Yueying's gaze did not linger on him for long.

Although the other party said that he looked down on her, any discerning person could see that Yueying's behavior from beginning to end was full of disrespect for him.

"This girl is quite interesting."

Sheng Shize made a comment and Zhong Tianyang was stunned.

Sun Yinwu also looked at Sheng Shize with surprise, and Zhong Tianyang couldn't help but ask.

"No, you're not really going to compete with Yinwu for his fiancée, are you?"

"will not."

"But I'm sure Yinwu's life after marriage won't be too boring."

"Yes, and Miss Yan is also very good at poetry. Who knows, she might be able to train a talented young prince in the future."

"Tianyang, what nonsense are you talking about? Marrying her is just a decoration. Considering that she looks like Mingyue, giving her the dignity of a prince's consort is already the most righteous thing to do."

"Your father found you this woman who looks so similar, wasn't it so that you could use her as a comfort and continue the family line for the Marquisate? You can't even not give her a child, right?"

Sheng Shize felt extremely uncomfortable while listening to the conversation between the two. He didn't know why. Could it be that he was moved by the few words the woman said just now?

"You guys continue chatting. I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Sheng Shize stood up with a somewhat cold tone. He faced the two of them and forced a smile, then left.

Zhong Tianyang picked up the wine glass thoughtfully, his eyes fixed on an unknown place, with dark colors flashing across them.

Sun Yinwu was still immersed in Yueying's humiliation of him. A poor civilian family with nothing dared to speak so arrogantly to him.

Yueying came out of the tavern and strolled around the area, thinking it would be pointless to go back too early.

She just wanted to show up in front of Sheng Shize today so that it wouldn't seem awkward if she suddenly brought it up later.

Now that this is done, I feel like I have too much free time.

"Is Miss Yan returning home?"

As she was looking at the wooden signs carved by the roadside vendors, she was startled by a voice from the side.

look up.

"Mr. Sheng."

"Miss Yan likes these?"

"Well, I'm not that dexterous with my hands, so I quite like the delicate objects carved by others."

"Young lady's talent lies in studying poetry."

Listen to what this straight man has to say.

Yueying resisted the urge to roll her eyes, slowly untied her veil and raised her face.

"Master Sheng, I am not only good at poetry."

If we say that yesterday when looking from the second floor, Yueying's light makeup made her look 80% like Zhan Mingyue, today's delicate and bright makeup makes people only feel that the two of them have some similarities in their eyebrows and eyes.

They are not even 50% similar.

"Ms. Yan is indeed very pretty."

"Has Master Sheng thought about it?"

"Do you think I would turn against my brothers for beauty?"

"Of course not."

"Then why do you come to me?"

"Because... I know the general will risk his life for his brothers."

"What does it mean?"

Yueying said nothing, turned around, bought a wooden sign, and then walked with Sheng Shize.

"If I become the Crown Prince's consort, I will inevitably have to go out and meet guests in the future. There were rumors in the capital before that the Crown Prince and my cousin were like siblings. Do you think there will be a day when someone with ulterior motives will connect all these things and report to the Emperor?"

"If it was a concubine who was not favored, it would be fine, but my cousin is favored by the emperor. There must be many people watching her make mistakes. Even if there is no story, they can make up some. What's more..."

As she spoke, Yueying stood on tiptoe. The male protagonist was too tall, so she could only grab Sheng Shize's sleeve and use the force to get closer to the man's ear.

"Besides, it's true."

"Then why don't you speak directly to the Marquis?"

"You haven't thought about it, has the Marquis thought of it after being immersed in the officialdom for many years? It's just for my son. I'm afraid that if I tell him, I will die first."

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Marquis?"

"Do you know?"

The girl had a sincere look on her face and her eyes were clear and lively. Sheng Shize smiled and sighed.

"It's terrible."

"Did Master Sheng agree?"

"Just do your best at the flower banquet in two days, and leave the rest to me."

Sheng Shize returned home and couldn't figure out for a long time why he agreed to Yueying's request with just a few casual words.

But he had a feeling deep down that he and the little girl were the closest people to each other.

Flower banquet two days later.

Zhan Yanran continued to deceive her superiors and subordinates and did not bring Yueying to meet the noble ladies in the capital. She must be brought to this flower banquet.

First, this is the most anticipated banquet in the capital every year. If she is not brought along, she will be discovered quickly.

Secondly, Zhan Yanran herself felt that she could use this banquet to embarrass this country bumpkin.

Yueying was wearing a pea green dress and had her first love makeup on, which was extremely light.

Looking at the modern mirror in the space, Yueying smiled slightly, and it should look like Zhan Mingyue.

Sure enough, when I met the elders in my family before going out, they all had expressions of surprise.

It was estimated that they were 80% similar. Yueying lowered her eyes and saluted, then followed Zhan Yanran out.

"What's wrong with you today? You dress more like your cousin?"

"Don't you like to wear white clothes, cousin? I'm wearing green."

There were no such sophisticated cosmetics and techniques in ancient times. Zhan Yanran was choked and speechless when asked by Yueying.

She also heard that this person just didn't like wearing white clothes, and it was said that all the custom-made white clothes were sent for modification and changed to other colors.

After staring at the moon shadow for a while, Zhan Yanran had to give up. It might be because she had been in the Zhan family for a few days and had seen it too much, so she had developed an illusion.

Yueying stood in a corner of the banquet garden, letting Zhan Yanran leave her alone to chat with other noble ladies, or look at her from time to time.

"Today there is poetry that you are good at."

A voice came from above her head, Yueying looked up, it was Sheng Shize.

She smiled happily and moved two steps to the side so that she no longer had to look up at the other person.

"If I win the first prize, will there be any gifts?"

"What gift do you want?"

Yueying looked at the jade pendant on his waist. The original text seemed to mention that this was a relic left by his mother.

"Can you give me that as a token of love?"

"A token of love?"

"I like you. If you like me too, then it's just a token of love."

This was too shameless to say, and Yueying herself felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly and twirled her fingers.

Sheng Shize was thinking about Yueying's words, do you like her? He didn't know what love was, but he just felt that he couldn't bear to refuse the girl's request. In his eyes, she was different from other women.

After a pause, Yueying was about to say that it was okay if Sheng Shize didn't give it to her now, sooner or later she would let Sheng Shize give it to her personally.

"it is good."

"what?"

"I'll give it to you after the competition."

"It doesn't matter if I lose."

The other party agreed, and Yueying was already very happy. Sheng Shize added another sentence, which made her face even redder.

"Empress Yue has arrived."

The emperor's secret guards had not appeared in the palace in the past few days, so Yueying guessed that Concubine Yue was willing to agree to her request.

The flower banquet is usually hosted by the imperial concubine or the queen, but this year it was the concubine Zhan Mingyue who came, which shows that the emperor's favor to her is extraordinary.
