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

The game of passing the flower while beating the drum started from the royal main table. Su Yingxue didn't know what her luck was. As soon as the plum blossom was passed to her hands, the drum stopped.

As soon as she looked up, she saw the faint contemptuous smile on Xuanyuan Luoshan's face, as well as the disdainful and contemptuous looks on the faces of the officials. After all, in their eyes, Su Yingxue was just a royal waste who was uneducated, arrogant, extravagant, and loved to keep concubines and live a life of debauchery.

Su Yingxue naturally understood their hostility towards her. Reputation was naturally very important to a person. Su Yingxue was notorious, so many people gnashed their teeth in hatred at the mere mention of her name.

Su Yingxue understood that she, too, needed proof. Since it was an anonymous poem, she could just recite a safe, unremarkable one, just enough to mitigate her reputation for being unlearned. After all, at the beginning of the year, she had hoped her brother would transfer her back to Juxian Yashe to study.

Paper and pen were quickly brought over. Su Yingxue picked up her pen and wrote a poem silently, handing it to the maid. The plum blossom was passed around again, passing it to Su Liyue and then to several others.

Until, a pure white figure stood up from the last seat. Almost in an instant, Su Yingxue saw him, and her face turned pale when she looked into his eyes.

Mo Yunsheng, it was actually Mo Yunsheng.

After not seeing him for a long time, I felt he had become somewhat thinner. But that didn't diminish his elegant demeanor, dressed in white as white as snow. As soon as he stepped forward, many of the ladies at the table began to smile and whisper to him, seemingly captivated by his charm.

He first stood up and bowed respectfully to His Majesty's seat, then sat down, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone handed to him by the maid, and wrote poems.

In this way, the game was passed to a few more people, and a round of passing the flower was over.

The maids copied the poems onto the corresponding screens, and then everyone voted anonymously.

Seeing Su Yingxue calmly write a poem today, Xuanyuan Luoshan felt a chill in her heart. Her hope of using this opportunity to return to the academy was simply a foolish dream. So, early in the morning, she sent a maid to add a special substance to her ink. After the writing was left for a while, the ink slowly faded, leaving the paper blank.

Unfortunately, Xuanyuan Luoshan's plan failed. Her little plot was discovered by Chu Xingchen's men. As a result, the maid was caught by Chu Xingchen's men when she reached the screen area, and Su Yingxue's poem was thus preserved by Chu Xingchen's men.

The harem's disputes, the inner chambers' secrets, the treacherous politics of the court, every step was done in the shadows, every step was done with caution and invisibility. Therefore, Chu Xingchen also hoped that he could protect her from the wind and rain.

Although he was not at the palace banquet and was drinking tea in the Princess's Palace, he had spies in every corner of the palace banquet. Whatever they did, or what Su Yingxue did, even the poems she wrote, were all presented before his eyes.

Chu Xingchen looked at Su Yingxue's poem with great interest and couldn't help joking that if she hadn't written it herself, she really wouldn't have known that her sister was a person who could write poetry.

In the past, when I wrote policy papers, I would scratch my head and look worried, and I never wrote poetry. Today, I didn’t know how to write it until I wrote it, and once I did, it seemed quite realistic.

As her partner, he felt very pleased when he read the poems she wrote.

The secret ballot was quickly drawn, and the red cloth covering the screen was lifted, revealing the poet's name. Soon, the top three were announced. Mo Yunsheng took first place, Hanlin Academy scholar Lin took second place, and Su Liyue, Su Yingxue, and Young Master Zhao of the Duke's Mansion tied for third place.

Upon hearing that Su Yingxue and Su Liyue were tied for third place, Xuanyuan Luoshan's face paled instantly. A glint of viciousness flashed across her eyes, and she cursed inwardly, "What a bunch of useless people! They can't even handle such a trivial matter."

That little bitch actually got away with it in front of all the ministers. Now, wouldn't the bad reputation of being unlearned and incompetent that she had painstakingly built up over the years be shattered?

She was ranked the same as Liyue. A hint of viciousness flashed through Xuanyuan Luoshan's mind. She sneered in her heart, how could a little bitch like her be worthy of being compared with Liyue, who was kind, beautiful, and noble like the moon?

But the most unexpected thing was Su Qinhuai. He thought Su Yingxue was sick these days and was recuperating in seclusion, but he didn't expect that she was secretly studying while recuperating. It was really a case of not making a name for herself or making a big splash.

"Well, well, well, let's have a poetry contest at the palace banquet, and let all the ministers show their talents." Su Qinhuai said with a smile, "This is an honor for Dasheng. The children of Dasheng are very talented. If you convey my will, there will be generous rewards."

"In addition, among these people, the one who deserves the most praise is Yingxue. She has achieved such results in just one year. I have to say that as long as she looks back, she has done a great job." Su Qinhuai said with a smile.

"Then I will reward Yingxue with the gift. Next spring, she will be able to study at the Juxian Yashe again."

"Such a good opportunity, you must seize it well." Su Qinhuai added with a smile. Dressed in a yellow robe, his eyes and face were filled with the joy of a brother doting on his youngest sister. "Axue, work hard and don't let me down."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue smiled and stood up to express her gratitude. For a moment, the banquet was filled with whispers, and everyone was a little surprised by the result.

"Isn't it said that Her Royal Highness the Princess is uneducated and illiterate?"

"That's right, isn't it said that Her Royal Highness the Princess stopped studying and practicing calligraphy at the age of six and was so naughty that the teachers at Juxian Yashe collectively persuaded her to quit?"

"How come after meeting her today, this legendary Princess doesn't seem as spoiled and unruly as rumored, and doesn't lose her manners?"

"That's right. She looks gentle and elegant. Could this rumor be spread by some evil palace maid who is jealous of Your Highness and deliberately spread to slander the master?"

······

When Xuanyuan Luoshan heard Su Qinhuai's words, the smile on her face remained impeccable and gentle. She was just as described in the original book, gentle and intellectual, and the mother of the country.

But the fingers under the table had already been clenched tightly, and the sharp fingertips pierced the tender palms without her realizing it.

"Your Majesty, you are right," Xuanyuan Luoshan said to Su Qinhuai with a smile. "Look, Ah Xue has been so naughty for so many years, and she will eventually be willing to make progress. I will soon pack up the textbooks used by the current princes and princesses of Juxian Yashe, and send them to Yingxue Palace along with the writing brushes, inkstones, and paper."

"After all, as Yingxue's eldest sister-in-law, I'm very happy to see Yingxue like this." Xuanyuan Luoshan said to Su Yingxue with a smile, "Yingxue, if you have any questions about your studies in the future, you can ask Liyue. Liyue will definitely treat you warmly."

Xuanyuan Luoshan's words were beautiful and measured. She pointed out that Su Yingxue had been a spoiled, unlearned and naughty princess in the past, and now she was speaking in a series of polite words.

She is truly an impeccable sister-in-law.

I'm afraid Xuanyuan Luoshan doesn't think so in her heart. Su Yingxue understood that if she really wanted to support her, how could her original self have become so ignorant and clueless after so many years in the Princess' Palace?
