Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

After Shen Yunzhou returned home, the atmosphere in the Shen Mansion became really lively.

In the afternoon, my cousin Shen Ru's husband Zheng Hua also finished his work and rushed back. However, Zhenbei Wang Situ Jue, who was supposed to give face to Shen's father at this time, returned to the palace early because I said something to him the night before, and missed the Shen family's family gathering today.

Even though Shen Yunzhou congratulated my second uncle on the birth of his baby, my stepfather still showed little interest and was obviously not as energetic as when he saw Situ Jue yesterday.

Before the banquet started, Shen's father found me privately and asked me to send someone back to the palace to invite the prince over.

"It's almost the end of the year, what big things could happen in the Ministry of War? There's not even time for a meal?" He only dared to complain in front of me, and would never say such things in front of Situ Jue.

I said "oh" and responded perfunctorily. Father Shen glared at me with a look of disappointment, "Why don't you go quickly? The New Year is just a few days away, and the palace will definitely have its own arrangements. It will be even more inconvenient for you to come back by then..."

I agreed and walked out of the study, but I was too lazy to send anyone back.

Even I myself don't want to go back to Zhenbei Palace. I feel like the working environment is not to my liking and my boss is seriously ill, so I am very resistant to going to work.

After leaving the yard, I went to chat with my cousin to kill time.

When I saw the chessboard in her room, I felt itchy and wanted to play another game because she defeated me completely.

Shen Ru smiled. "Even if it was for me, you didn't have to lose so badly on purpose. When you were with Mr. Cen before, he praised your chess skills a lot..."

I was shocked. I should have realized this problem earlier. The original body's dowry included a set of chessboard and black and white chess pieces that looked exquisitely made, which meant that she knew how to play chess. She must be a hundred times better than my amateur and beginner level.

It's only because the people in the palace are not familiar with the past that my poor chess skills have not been questioned. Once I return to the Shen Mansion and my relatives who used to live with my original body day and night, they should soon discover the difference.

I quickly changed the subject, "Why don't we play three-in-one chess? A game is short and we can play for a while longer."

Shen Ru accepted the invitation and helped me pack up the chess pieces and prepare to fight again.

I can arrogantly reveal to Situ Jue in the palace that I am not my original self, but I will always feel guilty in front of the Shen family. Even though it was not my intention to come to this world, I am occupying someone else's identity and enjoying someone else's affection. I really can't tell them so confidently that the real daughter of the Shen family is no longer here, and only a soul from another world that has nothing to do with them is left.

"Why are you playing childish tricks?" Shen Yunzhou's voice suddenly appeared, and I was startled while I was thinking about the chess game.

Shen Ru was also startled by him, "Are you born in the year of the cat? Why don't you make any sound when you walk?" She took another look at his attire, "Have you been to see your grandfather and father?"

"Well, the banquet is almost about to start. Mother is cooking today," Shen Yunzhou said, looking down at me, "and she made your favorite dish especially for you."

What you fear will come true. When I first came to this world, I already knew that some information about my original body was completely different from mine.

For example, my original body's taste was inherited from my biological mother, and I like spicy and salty food, but I personally cannot eat spicy food at all.

When I thought about what was going to happen next, I started to break out in a cold sweat.

Sure enough, when I arrived at the dining table, I saw the servant deliberately placed a plate of bright red dish in front of me. I couldn't tell what the original ingredient was, but there were a lot of spices in it, and I could smell the pungent smell from a distance.

All the dishes were served, and my aunt arrived late. Her eyes were a little red when she sat down.

People in the capital region do not like spicy food. My aunt is from the capital, and in order to show her kindness to me, her niece, she went to learn how to make spicy dishes from the chefs in Cangnan Prefecture. She even endured the choking smell of oil fumes in the kitchen and cooked them herself. Although some of the dishes were made for her son Shen Yunzhou, this special thought is enough to move people.

The original person was deceived and blinded by some scheming adults at a young age, which caused him to become estranged from his uncle's family. As a result, he was depressed and unable to vent when he was alone in the palace.

If her spirit is really in heaven, would she be happy to see her favorite dishes prepared by her aunt for her today?

I gritted my teeth, picked up the food in front of me and stuffed it into my mouth, praising it to my aunt for being delicious. It was so delicious that I couldn't hold back my tears.

I didn't even dare drink a sip of the hot tea or soup at hand. If I drank anything hot at this time, my tongue would be damaged.

After waiting until everyone had almost finished eating, I stood up and prepared to go out to save my sense of taste, and then I heard Shen Yunzhou say, "I learned how to make milk tea from the locals when I passed by a small village in Beimo before. It's just been cooked, so please have a taste of Beimo's scenery."

As he spoke, he directed his servant to bring over a copper kettle filled with steaming hot milk tea.

I whispered to the waiter who came to me to pour tea, "I don't need tea, just give me a cup of milk."

"The first time you drink it, you may feel uncomfortable, but if you taste it carefully, you will like it." Shen Yunzhou's hearing is too good. He heard my request from such a distance and came over to fill a cup of milk tea with added ingredients for me.

Forget it, it does contain milk, which should help to relieve the spiciness, but I’m really not used to the taste.

The other people in the room also had different expressions. After sipping the wine for a long time, they slowly put down the cups in their hands.

I had planned to leave after finishing my meal and drinking tea, but my cousin and her husband kept holding me until they returned home, so I had no chance to hide in my own courtyard. After the couple left, the people who saw them off were still standing at the door, and I heard Aunt Qiu say sourly, "Why didn't the carriage from the palace come? Could it be that the prince thought that Xingye rarely came home, so he specially asked you to stay at your mother's house for a few more days?"

The day before yesterday, Situ Jue walked out of my yard with a gloomy face. I guess everyone in the Shen Mansion knew about it. And today, after Shen Yunzhou came back, Situ Jue did not show up again, which would make some people who like to watch the fun gossip in private.

Shen Yunzhou also turned around and looked at me. "It's still early. Princess, are you interested in playing chess with me?"

"Please give me some advice, brother." I ignored Aunt Qiu and followed Shen Yunzhou to his study.

When I entered the study, I didn't see Shen Yunzhou setting up the chessboard. Instead, he asked the servants to leave and closed the door.

"You are not Shen Xingye, who are you?" He asked so directly that it really scared me.
