Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

The attendants came forward to collect the finished products, one portion was placed in front of the celadon vase in the main hall of Yazheng Hall for voters to smell and vote, and the other portion was sent to the private room where the great scholar and nobles were, to be scored by ten nobles and the great scholar together.

Su Yingxue finished the incense seal and stood up to leave the stage. She had just calculated the scores for each group. This was the preliminary round. Sister Ming's score was low due to her injury, so the organizing committee had scheduled the martial arts group B competition for tomorrow.

If Qingming Sister's weakest result in Group B is calculated without any extra points, her incense skills must be in the top three so that they can hope to get points to advance to the finals.

If her personal points were to be counted, she would have to reach second place to reach the top four of the Noble Ladies List, as three other ladies were already at the top.

If she reaches second place, she can be ranked in the top four with the other noble ladies who got second place in the competition.

But she felt that none of them were easy, so she just took things as they came.

Su Yingxue walked down the stands. Mo Yunsheng was waiting for him not far away. Today, he was dressed in a snow-white robe, with a white jade crown on his head, his black hair casually spread out, and he smiled gently.

"Sister Axue," Mo Yunsheng saw her walking down the stairs gracefully, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"You were sick yesterday. Are you feeling better now?" Mo Yunsheng asked softly when he saw her stepping down from the stage.

She looked okay today, just a little pale. I wonder if it was because she was sick yesterday.

"Brother," Su Yingxue was wearing a cotton coat made of cloud brocade with rabbit fur pinned on it today. It was a plain crescent white with elegant cloud patterns.

She had her hair in a playful and cute girlish bun, which was dotted with tiny oriental pearls and a plain velvet flower, making it look very simple and elegant.

She had a light layer of makeup on her face, covering up her pale complexion.

"Axue is much better now, don't worry, brother." She gave Mo Yunsheng a gentle smile.

"Brother, have you been watching Axue's game?" Su Yingxue turned around and looked at Mo Yunsheng with a smile, and the two returned to the private room upstairs together.

At this time, many people gathered at the bottle-throwing area in the stands, sniffing the fragrance in the bottle.

Suddenly, a young man in blue clothes was heard laughing and saying, "This fragrance is very unique."

Several people around heard this and lowered their heads to sniff.

"This fragrance is subtle but not faint, and the aroma lingers for a long time. It smells really good..." A young man in red said with a smile.

"It smells like the Li Luo incense from ancient books, but it seems different from the Li Luo incense I smelled before. This modified incense seems to be even more wonderful..."

"When a gentle rain falls, it makes people feel a sense of loneliness and desolation, just like the empty autumn forest and mountains. How wonderful, how wonderful..."

A few people gathered together and expressed their feelings for a few seconds before they placed their silver signature.

Just as some people nearby were about to be led by these people to draw lots, a maid shouted, "Miss Qin is here..."

Qin Lan is the legitimate daughter of the Qin family. The Qin family is the last of the four great families and is also one of the most prestigious and prominent families in the capital of Dasheng. As soon as she appeared, she instantly attracted the attention of many young men and ladies.

The few people who were originally surrounding Qin Xue's porcelain vase were instantly attracted to her and surrounded her.

In an instant, there was no one in front of Qin Xue's porcelain vase.

In front of Zhang Yingying's porcelain vase, Qin Lan was surrounded by people.

Qin Lan picked up the sachet on the table with her jade fingers, sniffed it carefully, and then her face brightened. She said softly, "It's really not that Alan is partial to Sister Yingying from her own group, but the art of incense has a long history."

"Making incense seals and sachets may seem simple, but every step, including selecting and preparing spices, requires years of accumulation..."

Qin Lan said, holding out the sachet in her hand to the audience, and said softly, "This orchid fragrance is delicate and elegant, not greasy. Sister Yingying's perfume-making standards are definitely those of a noble lady. It's certainly superior to those opportunistic things made by smaller families..."

"All these noble ladies and gentlemen are prominent figures in the capital of Dasheng. They must know what's good, don't they?" Qin Lan said a few words, and instantly sucked up a pile of silver sticks and threw them into Zhang Yingying's bottle.

Even though Zhang Yingying fell down in front of everyone a few days ago and made a fool of herself, how could the people present not know what Miss Qin Landi meant by her words?

If someone threw Qin Xue's bottle this time, it would mean that he or she admitted that he or she liked those things that were not presentable and belonged to small families.

They have all lived in Kyoto since childhood, so how could they not care about the differences in family background and class?

Even though he might have a higher opinion of Li Luoxiang in his heart, this was the reality. Qin Xue was a country girl and a concubine's daughter from a small family on the Qin family's side branch, and Qin Lan was the only legitimate daughter in the entire Qin mansion.

Everyone naturally flattered Qin Lan and looked down on Qin Xue.

Mo Yunsheng and Qin Xue had a clear view of this through the window pane of the private room.

"Axue..." Seeing this, Mo Yunsheng looked towards Qin Xue with concern. Judging from the current situation, she might not be able to get the first place, and she didn't even know what rank she would get.

Among these noble ladies participating in the competition, she was the only one who had just arrived in Kyoto. Although Qin Xue did not mention the name of the wild girl she was talking about, he knew that she was calling Ah Xue.

When Mo Yunsheng saw Axue being mocked for her background, he couldn't help but think of how he had also been mocked overtly and covertly over the years because he was the son of a merchant.

Now, he is a little worried about Axue.

He had been accustomed to his status and position since childhood, and had endured such ridicule and strange looks, so he could accept everything.

But Ah Xue, he came to Kyoto because he remembered her. She was like a blank sheet of paper, pure, beautiful, and ignorant of worldly affairs.

He was really worried about his sister Axue. It was the first time she encountered such a situation and she couldn't bear it.

"Don't worry, Brother Mo..." Su Yingxue said with a smile, "Axue doesn't care about winning or losing in grades."

Even if I don't complete either of these two system tasks, as long as you give me more favorability, I can still save some energy.

Su Yingxue was very open-minded. She said to Mo Yunsheng calmly, "Brother, as long as you try your best in the process, the result is not that important."

"After all, the voting will take quite some time. It's a rare opportunity to have some free time after the competition. Brother, are you willing to accompany Xue to visit the Plum Garden Villa covered in snow?"

Su Yingxue smiled faintly, turned around, and invited him sincerely and calmly.

"It would be best if Ah Xue could think it through." Mo Yunsheng nodded with a smile and followed her invitation, "Sister Ah Xue, I heard that the snow scenery at Plum Garden Villa is one of the best in the entire Great Sheng Kingdom. Since you're here for the plum blossom viewing banquet, why not take advantage of the snow and enjoy a good tour."

"Yun Sheng is honored to accompany Sister Axue." He smiled, picked up the folding umbrella beside him, and followed her out of Yazheng Hall.

Although she had been to Meiyuan Cottage several times, this time was different for Su Yingxue.

This is Meiyuan Cottage in the snow, and this is a snow-viewing trip with the person you want to capture.
