The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Sickly Prince Strategy Manual

In Wanyuan, Yunchang had just stepped into the palace gate when the nanny rushed to Concubine Ning and reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, Yuanyuan brought Yunchang into the palace!"

Imperial Concubine Ning was sitting on the couch. Upon hearing the news, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face. She said, "Very good! This Yuan Yuan is indeed the woman favored by the Queen. She is also able to manage the affairs of the entire Shangguan Palace in an orderly manner. She is really efficient and effective."

There was a hint of pride in her eyes. Thinking that she could bribe Yuan Yuan with a soul-pregnant flower, she felt that this deal was a great bargain.

"Madame, come here!" Concubine Ning waved her hand slightly, motioning for the madame to come closer. The madame hurried forward, and Concubine Ning gave her detailed instructions in her ear. The madame nodded repeatedly, and then quickly left the hall to carry out the task assigned by Concubine Ning.

On the other side, Yuan Yuan and Yun Shang were walking slowly in the backyard of the imperial palace.

As Yuan Yuan walked, she patiently introduced to Yun Chang every place they passed, while Yun Chang secretly took note of it in her heart.

The backyard of the palace was vast and the architectural layout was intricate. Although Yun Shang tried hard to memorize it, the layout of most places was quite similar. As she walked, she sometimes had an illusion that she was walking through the same corridor and the same garden over and over again.

However, these seemingly identical places actually have different varieties of flowers planted inside, and the furnishings in the pavilions are also different.

When they turned into a yard full of crabapple flowers, they saw gardeners busy moving some rare species of crabapple flowers. Each flower was blooming brightly and beautifully. Yun Chang couldn't help but be attracted and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Why, do you like crabapple flowers?" Yuan Yuan's voice sounded faintly.

"Not bad!" Yun Shang responded.

Just then, a palace maid came over holding a large bouquet of freshly picked crabapple flowers.

Because the bouquet was so large, it completely obscured the maid's face.

Before she knew it, flower petals fell all over Yun Shang's body.

The maid was immediately panicked. She quickly put down the bouquet in her hand and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. Please forgive me!"

Yuan Yuan just glanced at the palace maid indifferently and said nothing.

Yun Shang was secretly muttering in her heart: Do I look like the empress? How could the empress dress as plainly as she does?

"Forget it, get up!" Yun Shang said.

The palace maid seemed extremely afraid of the possible punishment and her body kept shaking.

Yun Shang didn't explain much, she just patted off the petals on her body and shook her clothes, but found that they seemed to be stained with some pollen. She patted them gently a few times, but the pollen seemed to be stuck to the clothes and could not be removed.

Thinking that she was about to meet the Queen, Yun Shang couldn't help but frown slightly, worrying whether the Queen would consider her appearance untidy and punish her.

Then she changed her mind and realized that the Queen had not ordered anyone to learn royal etiquette when she entered the palace this time, so she thought that the Queen would not care about how much jewelry she wore.

But soon, she felt that as a first-rank concubine, it might be a little disrespectful to meet the queen in such simple attire.

"Your Majesty, would you like to change your clothes? The nearest flower-viewing garden is empty, so it's more convenient!" The palace maid kindly reminded Yun Shang when she saw her kind attitude.

Yun Shang shook her head without hesitation. Many plots from novels flashed through her mind. Those common routines were to trick people into going into an empty yard to change clothes, then use a magic incense to knock them out, and then transport them to an unknown place. Or to let a stranger break in while they were changing clothes and create all kinds of trouble.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the palace maids a few more times, and sighed in her heart, it turns out that everyone in this palace is a drama queen!

Yuan Yuan interrupted and asked, "Crown Princess, don't you want to change your clothes?"

Yun Chang shook her head firmly, with a resolute attitude.

Although she knew that Yuan Yuan was on her side, she was a double agent after all. In order to gain merit, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not betray herself first and then try to rescue her.

"It's just a little pollen, it's okay and not noticeable." Yun Shang said and continued walking forward.

Yuan Yuan did not force her, and said gently: "In this case, let's go, don't delay any longer."

"Ok!"

Yun Shang responded and left with Yuan Yuan.

Before leaving, Yun Shang couldn't help but look at the palace maid twice more, thinking to herself, could it be that Concubine Ning is plotting something?

The two walked side by side, and not long after they went, they saw a man in luxurious clothes walking towards them. This man was strolling in the garden, walking leisurely and admiring the flowers with great interest. Behind him were four maids, and the scene was quite majestic.

At first, Yun Shang mistook her for a concubine, but when she got closer, she saw Yuan Yuan bowing respectfully to her and calling out, "How are you, noble lady Ying!"

At this moment, Yun Chang suddenly realized. Her eyes then fell on the slightly bulging belly of Concubine An, and she instantly understood the reason for such a grand and magnificent scene.

"This one must be the Crown Prince's Consort!" Ying Guiren supported her waist, staring at Yun Shang with curiosity in her eyes.

Yun Shang nodded indifferently. She really didn't have any good feelings towards this woman who deliberately showed off her power, so she didn't bother to pay attention to her.

"Are you two going to pay your respects to the Queen?"

Lady Ying didn't seem to notice Yun Chang's displeasure, and continued to talk to herself, "It just so happens that I want to go too, why don't we go together!"

Yuan Yuan's face was calm and she replied calmly, "Okay."

So the three of them walked towards the queen's bedroom together.

The Queen was in the garden at the moment, leisurely enjoying tea and flowers. Seeing the three of them coming together, she couldn't help but smile and said, "What a coincidence! You three are here together."

"Your Majesty, we happened to meet in the garden, and came here together to pay our respects to you." Concubine Ying said with a sweet smile.

The Queen nodded slightly, her eyes passed over Concubine Ying and looked at Yun Shang behind her.

"Princess, come here and look up so I can take a closer look!" the Queen said.

Yun Chang stepped forward obediently, first paying respects to the Queen Mother respectfully, and then raised her head meekly so that the Queen Mother could see her clearly.

The Queen looked at Yun Shang intently for a long time, thinking to herself that she was indeed a pretty lady, but her outfit was a little too plain.

Thinking of this, the Queen took off a gold bracelet on her hand and took off an exquisite gold hairpin from her head.
