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

Although the characters of the Great Sheng Kingdom are different from the regular script she practiced, she has the foundation to learn regular script, seal script and cursive script. Relatively speaking, she learns characters quickly and soon she has mastered beautiful small regular script.

Mr. Qingming was also a great scholar of calligraphy and painting. He admired her calligraphy and painting very much, so he assigned her some calligraphy and painting homework in his spare time.

The teacher said that calligraphy and painting were also one of the six arts, and although they didn't account for a large portion of the score, they were still considered part of the assessment. With Su Yingxue's current attainments, even if she were to enroll at Juxian Yashe, calligraphy and painting would be considered her strengths.

"But the other arts still require more effort to improve and make up for the shortcomings." Mr. Qingming's comments on her schoolwork were extremely pertinent. Su Yingxue also understood the differences between herself and other scholars, so she decided to work harder.

After all, Zhang Susu is studying every minute now in order to race against time. She wants to turn the current Su Yingxue into a likable woman like the heroine Su Liyue as soon as possible.

Qiu Shuang brought out the set of four treasures of the study in a short while and showed it to Su Yingxue. At the same time, because the set of four treasures of the study was too valuable, Her Royal Highness the Princess gave it to the ungrateful and wolf-like hostage prince in the side hall without blinking an eye.

Qiu Shuang felt a little aggrieved and muttered indignantly, "Your Highness, this is a set of first-class four treasures of the study that His Majesty had specially made for you from jasper at Lingyunxuan upon hearing that you had resumed your studies. There's only one such set in all of Kyoto."

"Yesterday, it was just delivered to the warehouse, but today, His Highness eagerly took it and asked me to please that ungrateful Prince Chu."

Qiu Shuang looked at the indifferent Majesty, her eyes filled with heartache. She said softly, "Your Highness, why are you giving him books and the four treasures of the study? He won't appreciate it. Your kindness will be wasted."

Su Yingxue fell silent upon hearing this, and calmly organized the homework in front of her, as if she didn't hear Qiu Shuang's complaints. After a long time, she sighed softly and explained.

"Qiu Shuang, there is no shortage of good study materials and books in this palace. But Chu Xingchen's situation is indeed different from mine..."

"At Chu Xingchen's age, children of ordinary officials or royal family members would have already learned their studies and the Six Arts since childhood."

"Chu Xingchen, on the other hand, now knows nothing about etiquette, writing, schoolwork, or the Six Arts. Having been delayed for so long, he must have encountered difficulties in his studies that ordinary people cannot. He needs a set of handy writing brushes, inkstones, paper, and a good teacher to guide him."

"Plus, I feel that Chu Xingchen just hasn't had a good opportunity to learn before."

Su Yingxue held her chin with one hand after she finished speaking, her eyes drifting towards the side hall with a smile on her face. She recalled the last time she visited Chu Xingchen, his handsome appearance with jade-like complexion, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he was still a young man, he was already so handsome. When he grew up, he would become a monster that would bring disaster to the country and the people...

Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder the novel later describes the Qisheng Emperor as a man of unparalleled beauty, dressed in splendid robes and a man of the highest nobility. The Emperor is a master of statecraft, exercising strict laws and discipline, earning the respect of the people and the fear of torture, leading to the Qisheng Continent being considered well governed.

However, Emperor Sheng of Qi was sometimes too cruel and bloodthirsty in his actions, which frightened a large number of people and officials.

"Chu Xingchen has the opportunity to study now. With his intelligence, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the future. He is not an ordinary person."

Su Yingxue smiled and collected her thoughts. After all, he was destined to be the overlord of the world in the future, so instead of thinking about opposing him, she might as well go with the flow and help him succeed.

If she, Su Yingxue, let him suffer and be humiliated alone like in her previous life, then it would be better for her to help him win back what he wanted.

"Since it has been taken, send it over quickly. When you do, please also ask Prince Chu if he is in good health."

"If you're better, come with me in a couple of days to listen to Mr. Qingming's lectures in the study!" Su Yingxue said lightly.

"Yes." Qiu Shuang heard the words, bowed and left with the things. Qiu Shuang left with the gift box, turned around and went to the side hall to convey Su Yingxue's words.

When Qiu Shuang arrived at the side hall, Chu Xingchen was wearing a white brocade robe and sitting upright at the desk reading the book sent by Su Yingxue.

"Your Highness Chu, these are the four treasures of the study that Her Highness the Princess ordered me to bring to Your Highness."

Qiu Shuang considerately placed the box on Chu Xingchen's desk. Chu Xingchen didn't look up at her. His dark eyes were fixed on the box on the desk in front of him. He raised his hand silently and opened the box.

On the red velvet inside were three wolf-hair brushes made of pure, flawless white wolf hair. The pen bodies were bamboo-joint-style shafts carved from jasper, and even the hanging strings on the pen shafts were woven gold threads.

It is placed in a wooden box made of thousand-year-old golden nanmu wood inlaid with gold and paired with the finest gold-thread cloud-patterned qingni inkstone.

Inside the red velvet partition in the interlayer are the imperial phoenix ink and bamboo rice paper, but these three phoenix inks are covered with lacquer and are shiny black.

One side has a convex phoenix, flanked by rolling cloud patterns, while the other has a convex phoenix, flanked by rolling cloud patterns. This is the imperial tribute. This imperial bamboo rice paper is as thin as a cicada's wing, clear and translucent, and is no ordinary product.

Although Chu Xingchen had lived a life of luxury these past few years, it didn't mean he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad items. After all, he had spent years in the palace, and now things were different.

For a mature spy, identifying objects is only the most basic thing.

Chu Xingchen looked at these precious things in front of him with a cold face and eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Has Su Yingxue changed her tactics?

Compared to the spoiled and arrogant look before, when she scolded and lashed others at will, she looked a little more pleasant to the eye. She also started to know how to give gifts, and the first thing she gave was such a precious thing...

hehe······

Chu Xing snorted coldly...

Since Su Yingxue wanted to play a harmonious and friendly drama, and a harmonious sister-brother drama, then Chu Xingchen, now the nominal younger brother, would follow the stage she set and sing this drama...

Chu Xingchen suppressed his emotions, took away the coldness in his eyes, and replaced it with a bit of gratitude. Even his eyebrows lost their previous sharpness, and a smile appeared on them. He spoke softly.

"Miss Qiu Shuang, since it is a kind gift from my elder sister, Chu Xingchen will definitely accept it. I also hope Miss Qiu Shuang will thank my elder sister for her care on Xingchen's behalf."

Chu Xingchen finished his polite words and saw Qiu Shuang staring at him blankly, not saying a word or taking her leave. He then stood up and replied with a smile, "Sister, do you have any other instructions?"

Qiu Shuangyuan felt that Prince Chu was as cold as a block of ice, keeping people at a distance.

But just now it seemed as if Qiu Shuang had seen the Prince of Chu for the first time, a handsome and noble gentleman with such a bright smile. It was true that clothes make the man. With the brocade robe and jade crown on, he looked quite like jade.
