Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

"Actually, I'm a princess." When they were almost at Prince Yongping's mansion, Yu Miaoyi introduced herself.

"Yeah." Shen Zhaozhao already knew it, so she was not surprised.

Chu Yu was not interested, so he was not surprised.

Seeing that the two had calm expressions, Yu Miaoyi continued, "I now sincerely invite you to stay in the palace. Will you come?"

"Okay, thank you, Princess." Shen Zhaozhao was very considerate.

The servant at the door saw his princess getting off the carriage. He rubbed his eyes and rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, the princess is back, the princess is back!"

"Hey, my dear girl, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time!" Prince Yongping Yu Si ran out with a groan, looking left and right at Yu Miaoyi, "My dear girl has lost a lot of weight. She must have suffered a lot these days."

Yu Miaoyi, who feels her clothes are getting tighter lately: …

Yu Miaoyi stopped Prince Yongping from hugging her and bowed very gracefully: "Father, these are my two good friends. They have taken good care of me along the way, so I specially invited them to stay at your house."

Shen Zhaozhao widened her eyes slightly. Is this still the Yu Miaoyi she knew?

Seeing that there were outsiders, Prince Yongping changed his look of a loving father who was eagerly waiting for his daughter to return. He straightened his back, brushed his sleeves lightly, and said, "I didn't know that a distinguished guest had arrived. I'm so sorry!"

On the way into the palace, Prince Yongping and Yu Miaoyi walked with such elegance and spoke with such eloquence, and there was a sense of deliberateness in their words, which made Shen Zhaozhao dumbfounded. They were truly father and daughter.

The Yongping Palace held a dinner banquet, one purpose was to welcome Princess Yun'an, and the other was to welcome distinguished guests from afar. There was singing and dancing, and drums and music during the banquet.

Knowing in advance that Chu Yu was injured, Prince Yongping asked his servants to pour tea for the young men. As he himself had a low alcohol tolerance and under his daughter's supervision, he only drank a few glasses of fruit wine.

"Father, my two friends are not ordinary people. They know magic and are very good at exorcising demons and monsters." Yu Miaoyi introduced to Yu Si.

Prince Yongping stood up and raised his glass in greeting: "You two are so young, how could you not know that you are the immortal master? I am so disrespectful."

Do all the nobles speak in such a refined manner? Shen Zhaozhao stood up and unconsciously became refined: "I don't deserve it, Your Majesty, you can just call me Shen Zhaozhao."

Seeing Shen Zhaozhao's appearance, Chu Yu chuckled, stood up obediently, drank tea instead of wine, and raised his glass to say hello: "My name is Chu Yu."

When the banquet was over, Shen Zhaozhao felt sore all over. Seeing that Prince Yongping and his daughter stood like pine trees and sat like bells the whole time, she also kept her back straight and did not dare to relax.

The moon was bright overhead. On the way back to the guest room, the two of them walked on the gravel path, one in front of the other.

Shen Zhaozhao patted his back and glanced at Chu Yu again. His back was tall and straight. Isn’t he tired?

*

After a night's sleep, Shen Zhaozhao finally felt better and her waist and legs were no longer sore. She was in a good mood and said, "Princess, do you know where the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion is?"

"Anyuan Marquis' Mansion? Why are you going there?" Yu Miaoyi was a little surprised.

"We have two more friends who are staying at Anyuan Marquis's Mansion."

Yu Miaoyi yawned and tapped the table lightly: "Uh, then I'll take you there later."

The carriage arrived at the gate of Anyuan Marquis' Mansion. The servant at the gate saw that it was a carriage from Yongping Prince's Mansion and went in to inform them.

After a while, a young man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and gentle manners came out.

"Brother Lu Jin." Yu Miaoyi bowed shyly.

"Princess Yun'an is doing well." Lu Jin clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and saluted politely with a calm expression.

Shen Zhaozhao was shocked. Wow, it really was a wheat awn that fell into the eye of a needle. What a coincidence.

Lu Jin invited Yu Miaoyi and others into the lobby, and sent someone to notify Xie Yanshu.

"Senior brother, junior brother..." Shen Zhaozhao called out to Xie Yanshu and Zhou Ziyan in surprise, but when she saw the figure next to Xie Yanshu, she paused.

The woman was wearing a moon-white skirt, her eyebrows were curved like the moon, her eyes were bright and she exuded a cool aura, and she was gentle and dignified.

It’s Gu Qianmeng.

Here she comes, the heroine finally appears.

"Zhao Zhao, this is Miss Gu, a disciple of Biyun Mountain." Xie Yanshu introduced to Shen Zhaozhao.

Shen Zhaozhao's expression froze for a moment, then relaxed again: "Hello, Miss Gu. My name is Shen Zhaozhao, and I come from the Qingwei Sect."

Three years, she met Gu Qianmeng three years earlier.

All the past events flooded into her mind. Facing this heroine whom she had always hated in her previous life, even if it was out of the setting, she really couldn't look at it with a normal heart.

"Hello Miss Shen, I'm Gu Qianmeng." Her voice was soft, as always.

"Please make way." Yu Miaoyi walked among them and bumped Gu Qianmeng with her shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Qianmeng was knocked to the side and staggered, but was caught in time by Xie Yanshu.

Shen Zhaozhao shook her head, feeling emotional in her heart, she is worthy of being the heroine and the leading female role in the book, as soon as they met, it felt like sparks were flying all around her.

She analyzed it secretly again and felt that Yu Miaoyi's behavior was inappropriate.

Push the heroine if you want, but why push Gu Qianmeng into Xie Yanshu's arms? No wonder you can't compete with Gu Qianmeng.

Tsk, as the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. Maybe she has been like this before. I must take a little notebook to write it down.

Xie Yanshu saw his junior sister shaking her head. He hadn't seen Shen Zhaozhao for more than half a month, so he walked over and touched her head: "Zhaozhao, I heard from Junior Brother Ziyin that it was a wolf demon who caught you. Are you okay?"

Shen Zhaozhao was a little scared. Xie Yanshu liked to touch her head too much. The female lead and the second female lead were both here. This was not a good idea!

She dodged to the side and said, "Brother, I'm fine. But you, no one has been able to contact you for half a month. Is something wrong?"

After a long while without any response, she looked at Xie Yanshu in confusion and found that he was staring at Gu Qianmeng in a daze. It took him a long time to react and answer her question: "I'm fine, I just got hurt a while ago, so I didn't have time to save you."

Look, this is the heroine. Once she appears, Xie Yanshu’s eyes will follow her involuntarily.

Marquis Anyuan was not in the mansion, so the Crown Prince Lu Jin hosted a banquet.

People who practice cultivation don't have to satisfy their hunger, but after all, they have to get along with ordinary people when they go down the mountain to gain experience, so naturally they don't want to be treated specially.

Since everyone was young, the atmosphere was cheerful and cheerful with everyone drinking and chatting.

"Qianmeng, have a try of this shredded chicken. It's a specialty of our Jian'an." Lu Jin used a serving chopstick to put the shredded chicken into Gu Qianmeng's bowl.

Lu Jin and Gu Qianmeng met two years ago and they are considered friends.

A few days ago, he went to Cangwu County to handle official business. Gu Qianmeng sent him a message asking if he could do her a favor. After he returned to Jian'an City, he met Gu Qianmeng and the unconscious Xie Yanshu.

"Thank you, Prince." Gu Qianmeng smiled softly.

At this moment, a cold snort came out of Yu Miaoyi's mouth, and the atmosphere began to become tense.

To ease the awkwardness, everyone started drinking together.

"Mr. Xie has just recovered from his injury, so it's not time for him to drink." Gu Qianmeng held down Xie Yanshu's hand as he was about to take the cup.

Xie Yanshu put down his wine glass and looked at Gu Qianmeng with some gratitude.

While searching for Zhao Zhao, he accidentally fell into a trap set by evil soldiers, and it was she who saved him.

"Tsk." The sneer came from Chu Yu's mouth.

Shen Zhaozhao tilted his head and looked at Chu Yu in confusion. What does it want from you?

Lu Jin also looked worried, and the atmosphere became even more tense.

Shen Zhaozhao, Yu Miaoyi, Gu Qianmeng, Lu Jin, and Zhou Ziyu clinked their glasses and continued to sit down to eat.

"Zhao Zhao, this is your favorite cherry meat."

"Senior Sister, do you eat cherry meat?"

Xie Yanshu and Chu Yu picked up a piece of cherry meat at the same time and looked into each other's eyes.

Chu Yu gave him a harmless smile.

Shen Zhaozhao lowered his head and passed the bowl to the right, asking Chu Yu to put it in the bowl, "Thank you, Junior Brother."

Gu Qianmeng has appeared, and she has to keep her distance from Xie Yanshu. She doesn’t want to repeat the same mistake again.

There was dead silence all around, and Xie Yanshu's face looked somewhat gloomy.

He just saw Chu Yu pick up a piece of cherry meat the moment he gave it to Zhao Zhao, as if he was deliberately going against him.

But he had no grudge against Chu Yu, so he must have been overthinking it.

It's Zhao Zhao...

I feel like I've become much more distant from him.

Shen Zhaozhao didn't care about all this. She was thinking about things while biting the cherry.

So now the heroine may like the hero, but the hero has not yet started to fall in love with the heroine, and the second female lead has not yet started to like the hero, but the person the second female lead likes likes the heroine?

It’s over, it’s over. My brain isn’t enough anymore. Shen Zhaozhao shook his head, and butterflies were dancing above his head.

"Come on, let's drink and celebrate our gathering here today." Zhou Ziyan, as the one who creates the atmosphere, had to come in handy.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was drunk except Chu Yu and Xie Yanshu.

Lu Jin asked his servants to decorate a few more guest rooms and keep everyone there.

A few girls were even more drunk, so the boys took them back to their rooms.

Lu Jin took Yu Miaoyi away, and Zhou Ziyan was carried back early by servants as he was drunk and unconscious.

Xie Yanshu and Gu Qianmeng had stayed in the Marquis' Mansion earlier, and the guest room was closer, so he stood up and helped Gu Qianmeng back.

Seeing Shen Zhaozhao lying on the table, he paused and said to Chu Yu, "I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother, to take Zhaozhao back."

Chu Yu's eyes curved slightly, revealing a dazzling smile, and nodded, "Okay."

His behavior made Xie Yanshu feel that his previous hostility towards him must have been an illusion.

Junior Brother Chu Yu was a gentle and kind young man, he had heard his fellow disciples mention him.

There was no one else at the table.

"Senior Sister, let's go back." Chu Yu patted Shen Zhaozhao, who was lying drowsily on the table.

"I'm not going back!" She wanted to drink more. Only when she was drunk could she stop thinking about anything.

There was no hope. Chu Yu put down the wine glass that Shen Zhaozhao had picked up again, and then picked her up by the waist.

The sky was high and the dew was thick. A round disk hung on the horizon. The scattered moonlight sprinkled on the drooping branches of the willow tree, and the shadows cast a shadow on the winding stone path. The boy was walking on it, holding the girl horizontally in his arms.

"Would you please stop moving?"

Shen Zhaozhao was restless. She kicked her legs from time to time and kept clamoring to get down.

Chu Yu had no choice but to put her against the tree.

Shen Zhaozhao felt dizzy, wondering if it was because he saw Gu Qianmeng again. It was as if he had returned to his previous life when Xie Yanshu first brought Gu Qianmeng back to Qingwei Sect.

"Brother, where have you been?" She couldn't help but become her past self. Her heart felt sour and tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously.

Seeing that she was drunk, the young man said maliciously: "Your senior brother is at Miss Gu's place."

Miss Gu, Gu Qianmeng? Yes, even if she tried her best, Senior Brother still belonged to Gu Qianmeng.

The boy used his thumb to wipe the tears from her face, making the area under her eyes red.

His mood seemed to be better, and he smiled, "Is Xie Yanshu so good?"

Who, who is talking? She looked up and saw a familiar face.

"Awen, is that you?" Shen Zhaozhao rushed over and wanted to hug Awen. She hadn't seen him for a long time, but Awen pressed her index finger against her forehead to prevent her from hugging.

Ah Wen must be mad at her because she threw a stone at him. "Don't be angry. I didn't mean to hit you. I couldn't help myself at that time."

Shen Zhaozhao started to cry loudly, and she really looked a bit like the spoiled child she was in her previous life. No one in Qingwei Sect liked her. If even Awen didn't like her, then she would be too lonely.

The boy covered her mouth and threatened: "Shen Zhaozhao, if you cry again I will throw you into the water."

Shen Zhaozhao struggled to get rid of the boy's hand, tilted his head and looked, and sure enough, there was a small pond next to him.

She started crying again: "Awen, you have such a cruel heart. I didn't expect you to be so cruel after becoming smart. You might as well be a fool... um..."

Chu Yu covered her mouth again, it was really too noisy.

He finally understood that the girl named Awen was a fool.

But who is Awen? He didn't seem to have heard this name in Qingwei Sect, nor did he hear Shen Zhaozhao mention it.

"I will let you go on the condition that you don't cry, okay?" the boy began to negotiate with her.

Shen Zhaozhao blinked and nodded repeatedly.

As soon as Chu Yu let go, Shen Zhaozhao started crying again.

Chu Yu: "..."

How foolish, he laughed at himself, to even think of negotiating with a drunk.

Without hesitation, he dragged Shen Zhaozhao to the edge of the pond, with a threatening look in his eyes: "If you cry again, I'll throw you into the water."

Shen Zhaozhao fell silent immediately.

The young man crossed his arms and smiled at her: "Let me ask you, who is A-Wen?"

Shen Zhaozhao took a step forward, holding the boy's face with both hands, his eyes clear and soft: "Awen, it's you!"

It’s so strange, why would Awen ask her who Awen is?

Chu Yu laughed out of anger. He must have been crazy to be entangled with this drunkard.

Ignoring it, he wanted to turn around and leave.

"Master, isn't it a bad idea to abandon her like this?" asked the Fire Beast in the Meteor Bracelet.

"But why should I take her back?" His tone was calm, yet with a hint of coldness.

There was no one around, so why should he pretend?

"Master, Xie Yanshu is here." The Fire Beast had a very sensitive nose and it smelled Xie Yanshu coming towards it.

Chu Yu: ...He is quite good at choosing the timing.

"Come up." The young man bent his knees and turned his back to Shen Zhaozhao.

Shen Zhaozhao pounced on him, hugged the boy's neck, and fell into a deep sleep.
