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

The garden landscape of Meiyuan Villa is magnificent, with a wide variety of rare plum trees showing a colorful appearance, accompanied by lakeside rockery, pavilions, corridors, waterside pavilions and curved bridges.

If Huangyuan is already a sight to behold, then the Plum Garden Cottage, though called a Cottage, is anything but small. Occupying a hillside, and built to take advantage of the terrain, the Plum Garden Cottage is a truly captivating attraction.

"Miss, the young master asked the maid to bring an invitation. The host has already set up a banquet in the front hall. He is waiting for you in front of the Huangyuan Garden. Please finish your makeup and then go and sit in the female seat together." Taxue reported.

"Since that's the case, leave immediately. Don't lose your manners."

Su Yingxue specially changed into a set of headgear and dress. This set of headgear and dress was specially customized for Mo Yunsheng.

She changed specially before the banquet. She wore a plain yet lively moon-white brocade long dress with silver-edged cloud patterns. She wore a white jade hairpin with cloud patterns on her head and a pair of embroidered shoes with moon-colored bottoms and silver peony patterns on her feet.

The earrings were made of white jade in the shape of water drops, plain and quiet. A piece of crescent-white gauze was wrapped around her face, leaving only a pair of beautiful and clear eyes.

Su Yingxue's eyes weren't pure black, but rather tinged with a hint of tea, like glass illuminated by sunlight, glittering and dazzling, each frown a breathtaking beauty. As Gu Kaizhi, the great painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once said, "The essence of a portrait lies in this."

Su Yingxue's appearance is not inferior to Su Liyue's. Her simple and elegant dress has a bit more charm and grace of a fairy under the moon who has fallen into the mortal world than Su Liyue. Because of her innate royal noble temperament, she has a unique charm.

This time, she covered her face with a veil in order to leave a sense of mystery to Mo Yunsheng and also to leave herself a way out.

After all, among all the noble ladies, there should be someone who would recognize Su Yingxue's identity as the eldest princess. She just sneaked out of the palace to avoid trouble as much as possible. It's her own fault that she has been unlucky recently.

As for why she wore this dress and hairstyle and dressed like this, we have to thank her for being the one who read the original novel.

Zhang Susu remembered that the original novel described that Mo Yunsheng first met the heroine Su Liyue at a palace banquet the year after he was named the top scorer in the high school entrance examination.

The original novel described it as Mo Yunsheng's first time attending a palace banquet. All the officials and nobles were present, and everywhere you looked, there were golden cups and jade bowls, and fine wines and beautiful liquids.

Countless tables were filled with endless delicacies, and on the central stage, musicians played endless palace music, and beautiful women with outstanding figures danced endlessly in the joyful dance.

The first person Mo Yunsheng saw from afar was Su Yingxue, who was covered in pearls and jade, with hairpins and rings everywhere, and wearing a formal dress embroidered with gold cloud patterns, in bright red, gold and green ribbons.

The most outrageous thing is that she has a stunningly beautiful face, but she wears heavy makeup. Even her pearl and jade necklaces are hung with dozens of complicated pendants inside and outside, not to mention the belt inlaid with rare jade and precious stones on her slender waist.

Although he had never seen anyone from the inner palace, when Mo Yunsheng saw the woman sitting at the head of the emperor and empress's room with extravagant makeup and attire, he knew that she was the eldest princess Su Yingxue, the scourge of the country that the ministers and the public were indignant about.

Upon seeing her, the upright and noble Mo Yunsheng, filled with indignation, recalled the memorials submitted to the previous court impeaching Su Yingxue's absurd behavior and extravagant and spoiled nature, each of which had been suppressed by the favoritism of Emperor Su Qinhuai. As a mere censor and court official, who wouldn't have a grudge against this princess who brought disaster to the country and the people?

However, the next moment, as if destined, Mo Yunsheng saw Su Liyue walking to his seat and sitting next to Su Yingxue.

The lady walks like a willow, her figure is like the bright moon, and she has a graceful posture. She wears a pure and clear crescent-shaped white dress, which makes her look dignified and elegant.

Su Liyue's makeup is fresh, elegant, and otherworldly. She is like a lotus blooming brightly on the blue waves, or like a ray of pure white moonlight gently shining on the ground. She is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

It happened that Su Yingxue came over to talk to Su Liyue at that time. One was extremely extravagant and dressed in jewels and jade, while the other was born with elegance, simplicity, and dignity.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the contrast with Su Yingxue, a vulgar woman, that Su Liyue appears to be so beautiful that it is beyond words.

It was at that time that Mo Yunsheng fell in love with Su Liyue at first sight. Perhaps it wasn't just her looks; more importantly, Su Liyue's reputation was far superior to Su Yingxue's, whether among the censors of the previous dynasty, the harem, or even the common people of Dasheng.

When people first meet, they often fall in love with the appearance, but when the noble qualities and talents inside far surpass the beauty of the appearance, they will fall in love with it.

Mo Yunsheng's secret crush on Su Liyue was just like that. It started with her looks, was loyal to her character, and was defeated by her talent.

Zhang Susu had been thinking this over for a long time, intending to cut off Mo Yunsheng's dislike at the source. Mo Yunsheng was concerned about the country and the people, and valued noble character and real talent.

She started to repackage Su Yingxue from the source. Now she was dressed as "Qin Xue", a person who came from a small town to Kyoto and was "as pure as new paper" in the social circle.

Qin Xue has the support of the Qin family, the last of the four great families. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she is protected by a big family. Although her status is not as noble as Su Yingxue's, she is not a small family either.

Although Mo Yunsheng has now made a name for himself in Dongli Academy, and his Mo family is one of the richest merchants in Kyoto, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants, merchants are ranked last, and no one in the Mo family has the protection of an official position.

Although Mo Yunsheng is talented, upright, and handsome, most of the young ladies waiting to get married in Kyoto only talk about his literary talent and appearance. If they really want to talk about marriage, who would not look for a young man from a wealthy family or a talented official?

This is reality.

The more aristocratic a woman is, the more she's been pampered since childhood, the more she understands the intrigues within the rich and powerful, and the more she knows how to plan for herself. After all, if you don't work for yourself, you'll be punished by heaven and earth.

What's more, in today's Dasheng Dynasty where "husband is the most important thing", a woman's life happiness and half of her livelihood depend on her husband, so she should always find a seemingly reliable support for herself!

Therefore, Su Yingxue chose the best time this time.

Because at this moment, Mo Yunsheng was still a dragon trapped in the abyss, a carp that hadn't yet crossed the Dragon Gate. Others didn't know that he would eventually pass the imperial examination and bring honor to his family. Only Zhang Susu, who had read the original novel, knew.

Mo Yunsheng was at a low point, and this was the best time for her to capture him. Therefore, she came to capture him.
