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

Chapter 79: The Proud Daughter of Heaven vs. the Reborn Prince 10

The queen smiled like a loving mother and waved at Yueying.

"Come on, good boy."

Yueying stepped forward to offer tea, accepted the bracelet given by the Queen, and then retreated to the very end and sat down.

Only now did he have time to look at the other people. Hua Yueli was arranged to sit below the Queen, with two princesses, and the rest were the princesses of the Emperor's brothers. After all, since she was the princess of a prince, these people should have sat behind her. The Queen was obviously stepping on her face in front of the royal ladies.

"I heard that the princess entered Commander Qin's mansion yesterday and found out that she got on the wrong sedan chair."

A young princess present suddenly opened her mouth, then covered her face and laughed.

What a barbell-like laugh, Yueying complained in her heart.

"Did the princess and Commander Qin get married?"

Another little princess also chimed in, looking at Yueying with a provocative look.

The Emperor is here, and Yueying is afraid that if she says too much, she will make more mistakes. It would not be good to offend anyone, so it is better to leave the impression of being bullied.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not fair to gossip in front of His Majesty and the Queen."

When Princess Qin heard the two juniors making fun of Yueying so brazenly, she couldn't help but interrupt and join in. She liked Yueying very much in her heart, and knowing that the Queen was deliberately humiliating the third brother today, she was a little worried.

"The third brother just explained to me what happened yesterday. We should investigate what needs to be investigated. We will not let the girl from the general's mansion suffer any injustice in vain."

The emperor saw that no one was talking, so he spoke. He also observed Hua Yueying for a while. She was indeed beautiful. Although she behaved very quietly from beginning to end, she exuded a lively aura that could not be concealed.

"I, your humble servant, would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of my sister."

Yueying stood up and bowed again. The emperor would never like his daughter-in-law to be a big talker, so she just had to behave well-educated and sensible.

"Well, I heard that your elder sister was seriously injured. Tea has been served today. Let's leave the palace early and go visit her."

The queen still had a kind look on her face, like a caring mother-in-law.

"Thank you, mother."

"Father, Mother, I and the princess will leave the palace first."

Ouyang Yanqing, who had been silent the whole time, said a few words for the last time and then left with Yueying.

"Why are you face so red?"

The two of them were far away from the Pepper Room, and Ouyang Yanqing gently touched her face.

"My mother hung me out to dry in the courtyard for an hour, and then asked the nanny to take me to the side hall and sit there for an hour."

Yueying curled her lips. It was really hard to be the daughter-in-law of the Ouyang family. The wedding was hijacked and she was bullied on the first day of her marriage.

"You have been wronged."

"The Queen must have calculated that you would ask the Emperor to rescue me, so she did this on purpose."

"Not stupid."

Ouyang Yanqing scratched Yueying's small nose with his index finger, then helped her into the carriage.

"Princess Qin seems to like you very much."

"Yeah, I felt it too. I was the one who caused the trouble in the palace, but she didn't blame me at all."

"I guess she's like me."

"What's the same?"

"Although you looked a little embarrassed when you jumped out of the window, you looked very pretty."

"Embarrassed but still pretty?"

"Correct."

"So, my husband was moved at that time?"

"Heartbeat?"

"Yes, like this."

Yueying and Ouyang Yanqing looked into each other's eyes, then she grabbed his hand, first pressing it against her chest, then against his chest. Ouyang Yanqing could feel his own violent heartbeat.

The ambiguous atmosphere quickly heated up the temperature in the carriage, but...

"Your Majesty, should we go back to the palace first or go directly to the Qin Mansion?"

The guards' inquiries were heard outside the carriage. Yueying let go of the hands of the two people and sat further away from Ouyang Yanqing.

"Go directly to the Qin Mansion."

After getting off the car a while later, Yueying saw the guards taking out several boxes from the car, and then she realized that she had not thought of taking anything with her.

"I prepared some precious medicinal herbs this morning. Although they are not enough to make up for the injuries suffered by my eldest sister, I still hope that she can get better soon."

"Thank you."

Yueying thought Qin Shu was a miracle doctor, so she subconsciously didn't think about these problems. She didn't expect that the man would actually think about them for her.

"Master...Brother-in-law, how is my sister?"

"Princess, you'd better not go in now."

"why?"

"she……"

Qin Shu looked at Yueying with flickering eyes and didn't know how to start talking for a moment.

General Hua sat aside, sighed, glanced at Yueying, and turned his head away.

"What happened to her? You won't let me see her, so you have to have an explanation, right?"

"Xiaoying, let your mother tell you later."

Yueying waited for a long time before Hua's mother came out with a sad face.

"Ying'er, your sister hasn't recovered yet. Why don't you come back to see her after a while? Now her appearance is ruined, and her heart is..."

Yueying breathed a sigh of relief. It was only her face that was disfigured, not insulted. Qin Shu should be able to help her repair the external injuries. If not, there is still me. When she recovers, her hatred for me should be much less. Fortunately, it's okay.

"I'll ask Master to help my sister. He... should be able to find a way."

Yueying said tentatively, then looked at Qin Shu.

The other person looked at her and shook his head slightly. Yueying thought something bad had happened. Could it be that he was blind or something?

"I have some healing holy water brought by a Persian merchant. It is said to be able to grow flesh on bones. I fell from a tree before and had a deep cut on my arm. I drank some and the wound healed incredibly quickly without leaving any scars. I don't know if this will work on you, sister."

Hua's mother knew that the little girl always spent money to buy things from foreign merchants, and she had never seen such strange fruits in the yard. So when she heard this, she believed it to 70% of the time.

The palms and backs of her hands are all made of flesh, and she couldn't bear to see Yueying sad, so she took her into the bedroom.

"Eldest sister, you have suffered."

"Hua Yueying! Why! Why weren't you the one who got hurt? Did you know someone was going to hurt you and change your veil on purpose?"

As soon as she saw Yueying, Hua Yueqing started crying and screaming like crazy.

"No, elder sister, believe me, the emperor has ordered an investigation to find out whether the veil was changed on purpose and who else wanted to rob the palace. Everything will soon be revealed."

"Investigate, what are you investigating? We were in your yard that day, and they were all your people. Of course, whatever you say is what it is."

"The people in my yard..."

Yueying was worried that she might say something wrong and make her even more unhappy, so she took a breath and thought for a moment before continuing.

"I will send them to the government office. Under severe punishment, there will definitely be a result. Sister, please believe me."

When Hua Yueqing heard Yueying's promise, she was not comforted but even more frightened.

"Are you trying to frame me in this way? I'm already injured like this, why are you still so vicious? Get out, get out now."

Yueying only felt that she was hurt and was too sensitive. She didn't even think about her, so how could she find someone to frame her?

"Eldest sister, listen to me. It was in my room at that time. It is very likely that you and I took the wrong veil by mistake due to negligence. I have never thought of falsely accusing you. Maybe it was really my fault that I put it in the wrong place from the beginning. I am your biological sister. At this time, I can only feel sorry for you. I have no other thoughts about you."

Yueying walked forward and squatted beside the bed, trying her best to take the blame on herself. She hugged Hua Yueqing's waist, tears streaming down her face.

"Sister, this is the medicine given by the miracle doctor. Drink some first. Maybe your eyes can recover."

Yueying guessed correctly. After a closer look, Hua Yueqing's right eye was injured. Finally, she coaxed her to drink the spiritual spring. Maybe tomorrow the eye that was blinded by the rock will be healed. Yueying calmed down.

"Sister, you should rest early today. I will go to Yun Pavilion to look for Master later."

Hua Yueqing’s hand bones had been healed by a miracle doctor before, so she had high expectations for the doctor’s medical skills.

"Okay, sister...just now my sister..."

"Eldest sister, I understand. You just feel wronged, and it's right to vent it out."

When Hua's mother saw that her two daughters were able to talk to each other calmly, she felt relieved.

"Ying'er, isn't the miracle doctor your master? I wonder if he can come to your house to see your sister."

"Master, he has a weird temper. I may not be able to persuade him."

"Okay, then you go first, I'll take care of your sister here."

After leaving the Qin Mansion, Yueying and Ouyang Yanqing came to Yun Pavilion and went straight to the medicine room in the back hall.

"Is your potion really from a Persian merchant?"

Yueying was flipping through a medical book when she suddenly heard Ouyang Yanqing ask a question.

"My husband doubts me?"

"If there is that kind of potion to sell, I don't think the price would be something Miss Huafu could afford."

Bones grow flesh. If there is such a potion, use it in war...

"Ouyang Yanqing, I'm already annoyed enough, could you please stop asking so many questions?"

Yueying turned around and looked at the man staring at her with deep thought, and the grievance that she had suppressed when coaxing Hua Yueqing just now also burst out.

"Is the little thing angry out of shame?"

"You should know that I have my own vegetable garden, right? I bought all the seeds from foreigners."

"There is an unknown grass, and there are only a few plants left. Its fruit is not tasty, but not poisonous, so I studied it and didn't expect it to heal wounds. Later I made them into pills and extracted the juice and kept it on hand. What I dare not show to others is that I have never found similar seeds since then, and the seeds I planted myself did not germinate."

"Are you afraid that others will find out and force you to cultivate this herb?"

"Yes, after all, if I accidentally got a bottle of medicine, others might think I was lucky, but if they knew that the herb could be grown, people would have more thoughts."

"Then why did you confess to me?"

"You are my husband. Given your current position, I may even have to give you the remaining grasses in the future."

Yueying glared at him, turned around and continued to read Qin Shu's ancient books on prescriptions.

"Then remember to tell others that you received it."

"I know, I'm not stupid."

Yueying was flipping through Qin Shu's precious pharmacopoeia and didn't notice the man behind her who was smiling brightly.

After returning home, Yueying took Ouyang Yanqing to see her flowers and plants and introduced fruits and vegetables to him.

"How is it? Do I have a lot of little treasures?"

"Yes, but now I have a wedding gift for you, I think you will like it too."

So Yueying was brought back to the bridal room, where she saw a row of cute furry slippers. She tried them on one by one and found them very comfortable.

"Thank you, husband. How did you come up with this?"

"I saw you wearing it last time. You looked very cute."

"Hey, I love you~"

Yueying was happy, and Ouyang Yanqing was also smiling. The emotions that had been destroyed in the past two days slowly dissipated.

The spiritual spring's repair function was extremely fast. The next day, Hua Yueqing's injured eye had recovered its sight.

This also made Yueying realize that she needed to do some research and add something to the spiritual spring that could extend the repair time. After all, if it were modern times, with the help of science and technology, it would be difficult to explain these things if they were investigated.

This indeed caught the attention of Hua's father, but since it was his own daughter who bought it, he was more worried about the news. He repeatedly warned the few people who knew about it not to mention it to anyone, and just said that Hua Yueqing herself had suffered some minor injuries.

In the days that followed, the rivalry between Ouyang Yanqing and the prince in the court became more obvious.

Due to the severe drought in the Central Plains, many counties and prefectures had refugees fleeing the area. The population migration not only brought pressure to other counties and prefectures, but also caused bandits to attack merchant caravans in many places.

Although the time has changed a lot compared to the previous life, Ouyang Honghe remembered that in the previous life, it was Hua Yueli who lobbied the richest man in Jiangnan to mobilize more people to donate money and grain, and rescued the victims in time.

So he issued a military order at that time to solve this problem.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yanqing just lowered his head and smiled, without making any effort to fight for it.

When Yueying heard the prince volunteering, she felt that he was going to be in big trouble.

After all, Ouyang Honghe doesn’t know that Qin Shu is Ouyang Yanqing’s man, let alone that Qin Shuyun is Qin Shu. In the previous life, he used the family’s power to help Hua Yueli because of the life-saving grace.

I don't know whether I should say that he is naive. He actually believed that a woman who was raised in a secluded place and whose knowledge was not outstanding could easily persuade so many wealthy businessmen?

Just like in her previous life, Hua Yueli immediately set off for Jiangnan. This time, to ensure a smooth journey, the prince also went with her.

Ouyang Yanqing only had a brief chat with Yueying about this matter when he returned home, and it seemed that he did not want her to give any advice.

That’s right, Yueying is not going for the heroine route, so she is not planning to be a talented and virtuous Princess Yan. She just watches everything happen silently. In fact, she wants to know more about how the hero will break the impasse in this life.

A month passed quickly, and Yueying heard that the prince had raised a lot of donations and food and medicinal materials, which seemed to exceed the amount raised by Hua Yueli in her previous life.

However, it is said that the prince went to collect grain and accidentally discovered that the richest family in Jiangnan, Qin, was secretly communicating with the enemy country, so he confiscated the family.

But rumors went around that the prince was having trouble raising grain, so he targeted the Qin family. After the Qin family was raided, other merchants handed over large amounts of money and grain.

"Ayan, I heard about the Qin family today. Is Master okay?"

"As a husband, I haven't even had a sip of tea when I hear my wife asking about other men. Sigh..."
