Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Today, Ning Shujun was wearing a lake blue dress and a silver phoenix hairpin on her jewelry box. The silver phoenix was holding a white bead in its mouth, and the tassels under the bead hung vertically, which was very beautiful.

She probably needed to dress up well. Zhiqi, who was serving her, was combing her hair. Ning Shujun picked up a box of rouge and smelled it. The faint floral fragrance was refreshing. She took some and applied it in front of the mirror.

After packing everything up, she looked left and right at the mirror and was very satisfied with her current outfit.

But I always felt that the self in the mirror looked weird, with sarcasm mixed with some resentment in my eyes. Could it be that I didn't get enough rest? Thinking of this, Ning Shujun looked at the mirror absent-mindedly.

"Princess" Zhiqi called her, interrupting Ning Shujun's thoughts.

"Oh." Ning Shujun realized that she had lost her composure and rubbed her brows, thinking that this was because she had not taken good care of her body.

Even when she was sitting in the car, she was still a little distracted. Is that me in the mirror? Ning Shujun was full of questions.

"His Majesty loves the princess so much that he specially set up his residence here in Yunyuanping. It's just that the journey is a bit far and there is still some journey ahead. Princess, please take a nap."

"Okay." She was indeed feeling sleepy, so Ning Shujun leaned on her side and fell asleep.

In her dream, she was in a dark cave. A faint blue light shone down from above her head. The sound of water came to her ears. Suddenly, a shadow flew in from the darkness. She dodged it with fright, and then turned around to meet a pair of blood-red eyes.

Ning Shujun woke up suddenly, already covered in cold sweat.

"Princess" Zhiqi comforted her and handed her the water.

Ning Shujun took a sip of water, listened to the sounds outside the car, and signaled Zhiqi to lift the curtain. There were constant hawking sounds on both sides of the street, she took a look and walked back.

"We are almost there. Princess, please sit down for a moment. I will help you with your makeup."

Ning Shujun suddenly said, "Your skills are good. You have served several masters before."

Zhiqi paused, lowered her eyes and replied calmly: "I only serve the princess."

"That's it!"

When stepping into Li Yan's palace, a bad premonition came to my mind, making me very uncomfortable. Ning Shujun did not move for a long time, and the others also stood where they were.

"lead the way"

"Princess please"

Ning Shujun walked through the corridors and observed her surroundings, but there was nothing wrong. Could it be that she was overly suspicious?

Arriving at the main hall, the hanging red gauze is like a barrier, and the dark tones reveal a depressing atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, Princess Shujun has arrived."

"Your Majesty"

A cough was heard from behind the curtain, and then the people around retreated, and the curtain closed from the middle to both sides.

When she saw that person, Ning Shujun was a little surprised, because there was a woman sitting on the dragon throne, with her hair loose, eyes slightly curved, and she was extending her hand to greet her.

"Master," Ning Shujun called tentatively.

"Um"

But it was that lazy voice that made her a little more confident.

"What's wrong?" Hou Ranjie stood up and pulled her to his side, like sisters who had not seen each other for a long time.

"It's a habit to live here. If there are not enough people in your house, I will give you some."

"Thank you, Master," Ning Shujun said, "That's enough people."

Hou Ranjie was very happy about her arrival.

Seeing that her hair was loose, he wanted to help her comb it, but Ning Shujun was unable to resist for a moment.

"Sit tight!" Hou Ranjie selected a pear wood comb and helped her comb her hair.

The two of them just stayed there quietly, and Hou Ranjie suddenly asked, "Do you hate me?"

Ning Shujun didn't quite understand and just clenched her hands tightly.

He then said, "To be honest, I... envy you. As a woman, you have someone who truly trusts you. You will have no regrets in your life. It's just a pity..."

Hou Ranjie sighed and said, "When Li Yan was first established, because the ancestors angered the gods, all men in the past were cursed. After the age of 20, things will change! Therefore, in order to avoid disasters, they often look for a woman as a substitute."

He looked in the mirror, saw Ning Shujun's expression, and suddenly chuckled, "Are you scared?"

"So the previous eight were also substitutes!" Ning Shujun said.

"Not bad," Hou Ranjie said, "but it's a pity that they are useless."

Because he now looks more and more like a woman, his appearance is becoming more and more charming, and his behavior is like that of a woman.

Hou Ranjie put down the comb and said, "Okay."

"Why don't they have it?"

"Well...after I told them about this, they actually scared themselves to death!"

I thought it was a great gift from heaven, but it turned out to be a trap that could kill me at any time. It was absurd but true, my life was in danger, and I was depressed all day long. No one could bear it.

Ning Shujun stood up, her lips curled up: "Master, do you think I'm the one you're looking for?"

She didn't think it was a big deal, just a story. She was just curious about the curse, which only affected men and women.

"Maybe not!"

Ning Shujun followed behind him, and the two chatted in the garden. There was not a single palace servant along the way, so they must have all retreated.

The two chatted for a while, and Hou Ranjie treated her like a sister and was very kind.

It was just that Ning Shujun had seen her master's male appearance before, and she felt uncomfortable with the relationship between the two.

"Master, do you have someone you like?"

"It's getting late, you should go back."

On the way back, she was thinking about the expression of her cheap master at that time, the loneliness in his eyes, and his gaze towards a certain place in the southeast.

But he is already the emperor, how can he like someone so easily? Could it be that the woman can't accept him? Thinking of this, Ning Shujun felt a little sympathetic to Hou Ranjie.

Who set this "curse"? Who did Li Yan's ancestor offend? If she helped Hou Ranjie, she would have a place to stay and could also use this opportunity to find out whether the jade seal has the mark of the four beasts.

But how do we know? There must be records kept by historians in the royal families of all dynasties, but it may be difficult to get them.

Back at the princess's mansion, Ning Shujun's thoughts were interrupted by the chaos. All the servants were huddled together with a look of fear on their faces.

Ning Shujun looked in the direction they were looking and was shocked to see that the roof was full of snakes, insects, scorpions and other poisonous creatures, all alive and well.

Suddenly a snake crawled down the pillar, scaring several maids so much that they turned pale.

It was easy to guess who it was, so Ning Shujun told everyone to stay away and not get close. Then she took out a bottle of medicine and asked the housekeeper to find someone to sprinkle the powder on the roof, and then she started to catch it.

"Yes"

"Wait"

"What else do you want, Princess?"

"Remember, don't get bitten! If you are not seriously poisoned, you can take this pill. You will need to ask a doctor to treat the people in your house later."

Lu Bo nodded, then turned around hurriedly, sweating. He had previously ordered people to go up to the roof and some people were poisoned, and now they were lying unconscious.

"Where's June?"

"Replying to Princess, the girl is gone!"

There was no one in the house, so Ning Shujun asked someone to continue looking. She entered the space and wandered around for a long time before seeing the troublemaker hiding in the cabin and sleeping.

Mei Zi disappeared, and Ning Shujun stepped forward and woke her up.

Liu Yue rubbed her eyes, and when she saw the person coming, she hugged Ning Shujun excitedly and said, "Master, you are here!"

Seeing the tear marks on the little girl's face, Ning Shujun thought something had happened to Mei Zi, and hurriedly asked, "Where is your sister Mei Zi?"

"She woke up and said she wanted to walk around!"

Mei Zi woke up, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. "That's great."

Ning Shujun was just happy, but then her face turned stern, "Why did you release poison randomly? What if it hurts someone?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yue was furious, "It would be better if they died. Those people in that mansion are not good people!"

After asking, I found out that June heard a few maids whispering about how the new princess would not live long, and there was no lack of sarcasm in their words.

June was impatient, so she jumped out to punish them.

"Master, I'm in trouble again!"

"Yes"

June was indignant and said, "They went too far, so I took action!"

"Be good these days"

"Um"

"Also," Ning Shujun took out a book, "read it a hundred times, without missing a single word."

June was depressed, "Ah"

"Oh, right"

“No need to write anymore”

"Bring it here," said Ning Shujun.

June handed over the poetry collection she had just read, with an innocent look in her eyes and biting her lips.

"Not this, hand over your crime tools!"

"Gone, all outside." June shook her head like a rattle.

"Really?" Ning Shujun stretched out her hand. "If you don't hand it over, I'll deal with it for you!" A purple scorpion slowly crawled out of her hand. Purple was the mark of a high-level poison that had been refined. June looked at the purple scorpion in surprise.

"Wow, purple, Master."

Then there was a noise in the jar behind Liu Yue, and the purple scorpion crawled out with satisfaction and returned to Ning Shujun's hands.

"This" opened the jar and found a dead body inside. Her two crickets were shriveled.

Ning Shujun ignored June and said, "Copy it carefully one hundred times within five days."

"Master, if I do this a hundred times in five days, my hands will be useless. How will I eat?"
