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

In fact, Yueying thought Hua Yueqing would not be very sad, especially since this matter had nothing to do with her directly. But if you think about it carefully, no matter who is framed, they will be angry. She was just an unprovoked disaster. The eldest sister should understand.

"Miss, Xiao Xia from Luoliyuan said that the third young lady rewarded the servants with silver as soon as she came back today. I heard that she seemed to have blocked the knife for the queen, and the emperor agreed to let the prince marry her as a concubine."

In this life, Yueying took Huayueqing to do their own things and basically had not much interaction with Huayueli, so naturally she could not attract so much hatred. She didn't know whether the one who became a concubine would cause trouble for her again.

That night, Yueying was undressing when she heard the latched window being opened from the outside. She turned around and looked in frustration.

"I say, Master, why are you here again at night... Third Prince?"

What's going on? The male protagonist and the supporting actor all like to climb through the windows in the middle of the night. Are the ancient feudal ethics meant for future generations to hear?

"Second Miss is waiting for someone?"

Ouyang Yanqing's voice was a little cold and stiff, and for some reason he felt a sense of suffocation in his chest.

"I have already locked the window. Who do you think I am waiting for?"

Yueying pulled up the coat that she had not taken off yet, walked away from the bed and went straight to the round table.

"This prince thought this was the Second Miss's hobby."

He said this, but the anger in his heart disappeared, his tone was warm, and there was a smile on his face.

"Your Highness the Third Prince should be very aware of the Hua family's every move, otherwise how could the marriage that my mother arranged just last night be cancelled while I was still asleep this morning?"

Ouyang Yanqing raised the corner of his mouth, found a nearby stool, and sat down next to Yueying.

"Are you so unwilling to marry this king?"

"No, it's not that I don't want to marry you. I just don't want to marry into the royal family, especially to marry... a man who wants that position."

Yueying was not afraid of Ouyang Yanqing. She moved closer, staring at him. When her noses were almost touching his, she stopped and spoke softly.

There was a gleam of determination and wisdom in her eyes. They were so close that they could feel each other's breath, and the air seemed to be filled with a subtle electricity.

Ouyang Yanqing's Adam's apple moved slightly, but he didn't dare swallow his saliva, for fear that Yueying would notice his accelerated heartbeat.

This little girl is becoming more and more interesting.

"Second Miss, can I understand your words as you are willing to marry me?"

Yueying was truly impressed by this man's ability to understand. She straightened up, distanced herself from him, and calmed her breathing which had been slightly disturbed by the temptation of his handsomeness.

"How is my big sister?"

Today, she followed her elder sister to her courtyard, but was rejected by the head maid, who said she was not feeling well. Yueying was unable to communicate with Hua Yueqing.

"Very good. For the sake of the Second Miss, I will take good care of her."

"You saw a man from outside break into your tent while you were bathing, and the news spread?"

Speaking of this, Yueying became angry. He was satisfied and interested in her, so he ruined her eldest sister's engagement. He didn't even think about this matter. Her eldest sister was so stupid that she didn't know she was framed.

"It didn't spread. It was just me and the prince who happened to be passing by with my father."

"why me?"

"No reason, you should be mine."

It should have been like this in the previous life, Ouyang Yanqing poured himself a cup of tea and said lightly in his heart.

"I also make tea and eat it at night, so I don't worry about not sleeping well."

It should be his... Yueying said, still thinking about what he said.

In the original text, after their rebirth, the Hua sisters were slapped in the face in various ways. The marriage contract never fell on the second young lady, and she was schemed into infamy.

But... Yueying glanced at Ouyang Yanqing. In the eyes of this reborn man, in his previous life, Hua Yueying was engaged to him, but on the eve of the wedding, he broke off the engagement and gave Yueying to a lustful playboy in order to find the heroine.

"Ouyang Yanqing, can we have a discussion?"

"Calling the prince by his name? Miss, you are very brave, but I will allow it."

Yueying curled her lips slightly, showing her disdain for him, but continued speaking.

"I can marry you and help you in every way I can, but after we're done, you have to let me go free, okay?"

Ouyang Yanqing didn't say anything. He just stared at the little girl quietly in the warm yellow light. He didn't understand why a teenage girl could discuss the fight for the throne with him so calmly, and why she had no interest in standing at the pinnacle of power?

Was she also reborn? No, if she was reborn, although it could explain how she had escaped several traps, she shouldn't have such thoughts about the throne.

"Why do you think the prince won't ascend to the throne?"

"He is a bit sentimental, not good at distinguishing right from wrong, and has a more impetuous temperament. To be honest, he is not very smart. Let's put it this way, if you were not there, he would be okay among the brothers."

Ouyang Yanqing asked this question originally for testing. If she was a person who was reborn, she should know that the prince had successfully ascended the throne. She would definitely feel guilty when being questioned about instigating her to seize the throne.

But when he heard Yueying's calm and serious analysis of why he felt the prince was not suitable for that position, he was actually somewhat delighted.

"You are willing to help me, but you are unwilling to stand by my side until the matter is accomplished. Why is that?"

"If the Third Prince wants to sit in that position, he must be mentally prepared that his harem will be tied to the situation of the previous dynasty. I married a man of low status. If my husband can always treat me well, that's fine. If unfortunately my husband doesn't treat me well, I can still live a good life by relying on the power of the general's mansion."

They talked about the fight for the crown prince, and there was no need to talk about the secrets of the backyard. Yueying directly expressed what kind of life she wanted.

"So you think I might make you feel wronged."

"Among the concubines in the palace now, how many of them can see the emperor once a year since they entered the palace?"

Yueying also poured a cup of tea, but she did not stop. When the cup was full, the tea overflowed onto the table.

"Father would go to the Queen's Palace every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."

"The rest of the time, he would go to look for other concubines. Just like this cup, there are only so many things a person cares about. If new people keep catching his eye, the tea in the cup will have nowhere to go."

Ouyang Yanqing smiled. It turned out that she was worried about these things. If the second young lady was reborn, she would know that in her previous life, she had never had any other woman except Hua Yueli, her principal wife.

"If you mind this, you don't have to. You will be the only one in my backyard."

Yueying was surprised on the surface, but inwardly she thought, since ancient times, the promises made before becoming emperors were all very nice, but many people turned their backs on their parents once they sat on that position.

"How about this? You sign a letter of commitment to me. If one day you want to choose a concubine, you will set me free. How about that?"

Yueying took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and quickly wrote several lines according to her own ideas, and then gave them to Ouyang Yanqing for signature.

Ouyang Yanqing took a closer look. The handwriting was well written in small regular script with flowers on the hairpin, but his eyes were fixed on the last line.

If Qing does not want Ying'er to remarry, she must provide her with living conveniences outside the palace, such as opening a shop to make a living.

"Second Miss has even decided to remarry?"

"What I mean is, if you don't want me to remarry, I will remain a virgin for you, but you must provide for my living outside the palace and the convenience of opening a shop."

"What if I don't sign?"

"If you don't sign, the Third Prince will only get a troublemaker."

"If the Second Miss says so, then I really don't want to sign it. I really want to see what kind of troublemaker the Second Miss is."

It was late at night, Yueying was actually a little sleepy and yawned slightly. Forget it, for such a naturally noble man, just go along with his wishes for now.

"No more trouble, no more trouble. Please sign the contract, Your Highness. I should get some beauty sleep. Your Highness should prefer to marry a beautiful lady rather than a sleep-deprived and dull girl."

"You are so nice to say anything, come on, my beautiful wife."

After Ouyang Yanqing saw the hazy moonlight in her deer eyes after she yawned, he couldn't help but pinch her face gently and handed her the signed paper.

"Well, take care, fiancé."

Yueying embraced her freedom and turned to walk towards the bed. She didn't care too much whether Ouyang Yanqing had left or not. She took off her coat, kicked off her rabbit fur slippers, and crawled into the quilt to sleep.

Ouyang Yanqing stood in the room and watched for a while before turning around and leaving.

The next day, at the Third Prince’s residence.

"Your Highness, is this an unfinished shoe?"

"I don't know. You can make it according to this pattern first. It should be made of white rabbit fur or white fox fur. It must be comfortable."

Ouyang Yanqing drew a pattern of the furry rabbit fur slippers that he saw Yueying wearing last night, and asked the housekeeper to make a few pairs. It was not that he wanted to please Yueying, but mainly because he saw the little girl wearing them last night and she looked so cute, so he wanted her to wear them for him.

The housekeeper noticed early in the morning that the person at home was in a particularly good mood today. He wondered if it was because he won first place in the autumn hunting and the candidate for the prince's consort was confirmed.

Since the death of the imperial concubine, the third prince has rarely been so relaxed at home. He mostly pretends to be indifferent outside, but his mood becomes low as soon as he returns home.

A few days later, the emperor issued another decree. I don't know if it was because the imperial decree had slapped the emperor in the face, but the decree avoided mentioning the prince's concubine, and only said to accompany the prince. Then they carried her away in a sedan chair, and it was said that Hua Yueli was not allowed to wear the Royal Jade Butterfly.

To be honest, the prince is very good to the heroine. Hua Yueli actually came back home on the third day, and she was accompanied by the prince.

A young eunuch came to tell them that the prince and his men would arrive early, so the two Hua sisters and their mother waited at the door from morning till noon, but they finally saw the carriage arrive.

Although it was not too cold in the autumn season, it was a bit windy. The prince helped Hua Yueli get off the carriage. When he approached, Yueying couldn't help but sneezed three times in a row.

The prince raised his eyes and glanced, his face dark.

Hua's mother led the female family members to pay respect to the prince, but Ouyang Honghe was reluctant to move and did not ask for exemption. The Hua family members just stood there in front of the gate of the Hua Mansion, paying respect awkwardly.

Is this prince trying to intimidate the Hua family? Yueying frowned.

"Madam Hua, you should pay respect to the concubine."

At this time, the maid beside Hua Yueli broke the silent atmosphere.

So I was waiting here.

"Hello, Concubine."

A concubine who was not listed in the royal imperial genealogy? But Hua's mother didn't care much and performed the ceremony according to the prince's wishes.

Ever since she found out that she had lied to herself and secretly went to the autumn hunting ground, Hua's mother had been completely disappointed with Hua Yueli. A child who is not well-educated, unlike the good kids at home, just needs to be able to save face.

"Mother, sisters, please excuse me."

Seeing that the women in the Hua family followed suit and bowed to her, Hua Yueli looked weak and helpless and said, "No need to bow."

"Thank you, Prince. Thank you, Madam."

After everyone finished the ceremony, Hua Yueli pretended to take her mother's arm and walked into the mansion ahead of the Hua sisters. When the prince saw Hua Yueli's smile, his complexion became better.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard. Everyone turned around and saw that it was the third prince who was dismounting from his horse.

"Hey, what a coincidence, the prince is also visiting Hua Mansion today?"

"Today is Yueli's return home."

"I didn't expect that the concubine would come back home, and the prince would even come with her in person."

Ouyang Yanqing didn't know whose face he was slapping. After all, Hua Yueli came from the Hua family, and the prince was willing to give her the title of concubine to the outside world, which also sounded good for the Hua family.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone present looked unhappy.

Hua Yueli's eyes were filled with tears, and she struggled to hold them back.

Although Hua's mother was embarrassed, she could only smile and bowed to the Third Prince with her children.

"Your Highness."

Ouyang Yanqing smiled as if he didn't realize how annoying he was. He stepped forward to help Yueying up, but the latter took a small step back, leaving his hand hanging in the air.

Hua's mother smiled with satisfaction. This was the daughter she had raised.

"Crown Prince, please go to the mansion and rest first."

Originally, when Hua Yueli returned home, her mother and sisters should have been there to talk to her, but because of Ouyang Yanqing's arrival, after sitting together for a while, he took Yueying to the yard.

"Your Highness just went a little too far."

Yueying was walking with Ouyang Yanqing, and mentioned what had just happened, with a hint of blame in her tone.

"what?"

"Asking knowingly."

"I cannot afford to suffer any loss, and neither can my people."

Ouyang Yanqing smiled.

"Actually, I'm not at a disadvantage. She's older than me, but she always calls me second sister. To be honest, I've taken advantage of her verbally over the years."

"You are quite a ghost."

Of course not. Some girls like to be called "sister" when they are young, and Yueying happens to be one of them.

"You didn't come here just because you were afraid I'd get bullied, did you?"

"Of course I am. But the little heartless guy still doesn't want to get close to me."

Ouyang Yanqing quickly took credit and complained about her grievances. She clearly came there to support him, but she ended up blaming herself.

"We haven't gotten married yet. If I had gotten close to you at the gate, in front of our mother, I would have been punished to copy the Women's Code today."

"What are you afraid of? I'll help you copy it tonight."

Only Yueying's maid followed behind him. Ouyang Yanqing looked at the cute little girl and couldn't help but touch her head.
