Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Xuanyuan Heng clenched the wine glass in his hand. The girl was still as gentle and pretty as when they parted, but many things had changed after so many years.

"From now on, you will live in Guiwan Pavilion. If you need anything, just let Qingfeng Yueying prepare it."

Shi Qing nodded and sat aside. She looked cautious, but her eyes were fixed on the food on the table.

The atmosphere was a little tense, and suddenly a gurgling sound came from her lower abdomen, breaking the tense atmosphere. Shi Qing's cheeks turned slightly red and she felt a little embarrassed.

Xuanyuan Heng's eyes were deep as he said softly, "I guess Ah Sheng didn't serve you well enough and didn't prepare dinner for you. You don't have to be so formal. Come and have dinner with me."

Shi Qing was surprised, thinking of the rumors in the imperial city. Everyone said that Xuanyuan Heng was cold-blooded and ruthless, but that was not necessarily the case. He was clearly a handsome man with a gentle demeanor.

"Thank you, Ah Heng."

Xuanyuan Heng looked a little uncomfortable, and said coldly, "Second Miss Shi, from now on, just call me Governor."

Shi Qing nodded reluctantly, "I understand, Ah Heng."

Xuanyuan Heng, “…”

After all, the food in Wenshu Temple is good. Shi Qing finished two large bowls of rice before stopping. Qingfeng watched the maidservant delivering food to the courtyard and thought to himself.

When did the Governor's appetite become so good? He ate more. It seemed that his worry was also healed.

The girl's cheeks were thin, and she looked very fragile, as if she would fall down at the slightest gust of wind. She looked so delicate and pitiful.

However, Xuanyuan Heng's eyes fell on the empty bowl of food, and he felt a little suspicious. Didn't the Shi family usually give her food?

It’s no wonder that Shi Qing has such a big appetite. The buff she took from Tuanzi is indeed useful. Her immense strength can solve many problems.

The only drawback is that it consumes energy quickly, and you must eat a full meal to maximize the buff of infinite strength.

When dinner was over, Xuanyuan Heng ordered the kitchen to prepare cakes for Shi Qing and send them to Guiwan Pavilion. At the same time, he ordered someone to inform Shi Qing that Princess Yongning would be getting married in the next two days.

Xuanyuan Heng asked her to go to the princess's mansion to watch the ceremony. Princess Yongning was getting married, so court officials had to go.

There are not many women in Xuanyuan Mansion, and there is a lack of a hostess to handle all the big and small matters in the mansion.

When Shi Qing left, he asked Xuanyuan Heng very seriously.

"I heard that Princess Yongning likes Ah Heng. I think it would be dangerous if I went to the banquet alone. Lord Governor, I want to borrow Qingfeng from you to go with me."

Xuanyuan Heng's face darkened slightly, and he said unhappily, "After I finish my official business tomorrow, I will go with you."

It turned out that he was not asked to take the bullet. Shi Qing felt relieved. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Heng was not an ungrateful person.

Shi Qing nodded, "In that case, thank you very much, Ah Heng."

She turned around and left Wenshu Temple with a smile. Qingfeng and Yueying, who were guarding outside, looked at each other.

I thought the governor would use threats and bribes to get the second young lady, but I didn't expect that the meal would go smoothly.

That would have been fine, but after dinner, Xuanyuan Heng sent Yueying to deliver silver and some head ornaments and jewelry, all of which were the most expensive items in the shops in the capital.

Among them, there are the twin crabapple hairpins made of pure gold, the peony gold inlaid with mutton-fat jade, the red agate stone cloud pattern bracelet, and the hibiscus filigree hairpins are among the most precious.

Not only is the price high, but most importantly, it takes a long time to make, so it is very popular among noble ladies in the capital.

If anyone wears such a set of jewelry at a banquet, it will be very spectacular.

Yueying left after giving the hair accessories and silver. Although he was a man, he knew that such a set of jewelry would probably cost thousands of taels of silver, not to mention the tens of thousands of taels of silver he had to give.

He scratched his head. It was really hard to understand why the Governor treated the second daughter of the Shi family so well, as if he was holding a grudge against her.

Shi Qing thanked Yueying for the trip and gestured to Chunlin to give her a reward. She said with a smile.

"Commander Yueying, these are for you to drink. Sorry for the trouble you made this trip."

Yueying accepted the silver and said with a smile, "It's just a small favor. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to come to me."

After saying that, Yueying disappeared in front of Shi Qing like a ghost.

Chunlin looked at the golden jewelry and silver on the table, his two round almond-shaped eyes widened, and he said in surprise.

"Miss, the governor is very generous to you. When we were at the manor, our monthly allowance was only ten taels of silver a year."

They had suffered a lot on the farm, and the young lady had almost frozen to death in the winter due to catching a cold. They sent someone to the Shi family to deliver a message, but no one in the Shi family cared, and Shi Jianye didn't even bother to ask.

Fortunately, now all the hardships have come to an end. Chunlin looked at Shi Qing with compassion and prayed silently in his heart.

If God has ears, I hope he will bless my daughter to be safe and happy and marry her lover.

Shi Qing glanced at Chunlin and said, "Put away the jewelry. Put the ones given by the Governor in the pear blossom sandalwood box and lock it up. As for the cash, send it to the bank for deposit tomorrow."

Chunlin thought to himself that the young lady was very thoughtful, so he agreed.

"Yes, the servant understands."

Shi Qing slept particularly soundly that night, as he had a tough battle to fight tomorrow at the princess's mansion.

Princess Yongning is not a tolerant and generous woman. She loves Xuanyuan Heng deeply. In the original plot, she is a stumbling block in the tragic love between the hero and heroine, and she always abuses the heroine.

The male protagonist is always late to save people. This damn plot is really annoying.

Princess Yongning did not sleep with Xuanyuan Heng as she wished, and now that she is going to marry Xuanyuan Heng, it is natural for her to transfer her hatred to herself.

Why should a woman embarrass a woman?

Shi Qing felt a little overwhelmed and shook his head and sighed.

Shi Qing slept very soundly that night, and when he opened his eyes, it was already noon.

Chunlin knocked on the door and walked into the room after getting a response. He helped Shi Qing wash up and chose clothes for today and pearl flowers for Shi Qing to wear.

"Miss, the sedan chair is ready. This morning, the governor sent a gift to the princess's residence. We will take it with us when we leave."

Shi Qing nodded. Chunlin always made her feel at ease with what he did.

Chunlin had very skillful hands. She dressed up Shi Qing skillfully. Although her makeup was simple and elegant, she looked extraordinary, like a fairy.

She was wearing a pink and purple long dress, with half of her long black hair draped over her head. She had two buns wrapped around her head and a crabapple flower hairpin in her hair.

It looks elegant and dignified, making people unable to take their eyes off it, but it also doesn't overshadow the main subject.

Shi Qing was very satisfied with Chunlin's craftsmanship and praised her repeatedly. Chunlin's cheeks turned red due to the praise and she felt a little embarrassed.

"This morning, I heard an interesting story in the capital. Would you like to hear it, young lady?"

Shi Qing blinked and nodded, "Okay, tell me about it."

Chunlin said slowly, "Our emperor has a brother who also accompanied the emperor back from Yumen Pass. They are half-brothers with the same mother and have a very close relationship.

After returning to the capital, the Emperor bestowed upon this Seventh Prince the title of King Xiaoyao and bestowed upon him countless gold, silver, and treasures."

Shi Qing seemed to be lost in thought. There weren't many references to King Xiaoyao in the original plot, so she didn't pay much attention to it. However, since Chunlin mentioned it, there must be something different.

"Could it be that the romantic affairs of this King Xiaoyao are too eye-catching?"

Chunlin said mysteriously, "King Xiaoyao has made great contributions, but he has only one flaw: he loves unparalleled beauty. Therefore, he has countless wives and concubines in his mansion, a total of twenty concubines, and even has a special doctor to take care of his health."

Shi Qing's mouth twitched, and his mood was indescribable.

"He's quite a capable man."

Twenty concubines would probably tire the oxen working in the fields to death. Shi Qing was speechless and admired the achievements made by King Xiaoyao.

"He had three wives, all of whom died of illness. Three days ago, Prince Xiaoyao quietly married a new princess. I heard she's a stunning beauty, and she's the only one favored by Prince Xiaoyao."

Shi Qing raised an eyebrow, "It seems that this new princess is also a capable person."

Seeing that it was getting late, Qingfeng appeared in Guiwange and said respectfully.

"Second Miss Shi, we should go to the Princess's Mansion. The carriage is ready."

Shi Qing nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Chunlin helped Shi Qing leave Guiwan Pavilion, passed by the waterside pavilions, went through the hanging flower gate, and stepped directly into the prepared sedan chair.

The sedan was very warm and had a faint fragrance that was very pleasant. It was the pine scent that Shi Qing liked.

The princess's mansion is very lively today, and many people come to congratulate Qinghe Cui and Princess Yongning on their marriage.

There were countless carriages parked outside the princess's mansion, and it was very lively.

Cui Xu, the eldest grandson of the Cui family, was granted the title of imperial consort and was granted residence in the princess's residence. Their wedding was also held in the princess's residence.

After Shi Qing paid his respects, he took Chunlin to a corner and sat down.

When everyone stepped into the princess's mansion, their eyes fell on the girl in the corner, who was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. A young man wanted to approach her to chat, but he heard someone next to him say.

"This is Governor Xuanyuan's fiancée, the second young lady of the Shi family."

The man who was originally interested in Shi Qing's face changed slightly when he heard these words, and he left embarrassedly. Shi Qing was thus able to have some peace and quiet.

At this moment, a maid stopped in front of Shi Qing and spoke respectfully.

"Miss, the women's banquet is in Changle Palace. The princess has been waiting for a while. Please move aside."

Shi Qing didn't embarrass the maid and nodded, "I understand."

*

In Changle Palace, a young girl in a red wedding dress was extremely beautiful. She asked the maid beside her with a cold face and a gloomy tone.

"Where's Brother Heng? Didn't he come today?"

The maid Lian'er shook her head and said respectfully, "Princess, the governor has important matters to attend to today. He has been assigned by the emperor to do something and will not be coming."

Princess Yongning asked unwillingly, "Is he really so cruel? I'm getting married today, and he didn't even bother to come and see me."

"Princess, although the Governor didn't come, his fiancée Shi Qing did. She's on her way to Changle Palace."

Lian'er reported tremblingly, but Princess Yongning's expression became even uglier.

"They are both unmarried. What qualifications does Shi Qing have to replace Brother Heng?"

Resentment flashed in her eyes. If someone had not rescued Xuanyuan Heng last time, she and Cui Xu would not have had physical contact. Princess Yongning was really unwilling to accept this.

In Changle Palace, there are many noble ladies who are on good terms with the princess, and among them is a woman who has a crush on Xuanyuan Heng, who will immediately take the opportunity to step on Shi Qing.

"I heard that the second young lady of this family is not a good person. She just came back from the farm a while ago.

She caused chaos at home and even forced her own sister to marry a poor man with no future, because she was worried that her sister would marry better than herself.

This was exactly what Princess Yongning wanted. She sneered and scoffed.

"She's truly a woman who's not worthy of being on the stage. To have been sent to the manor by her own father, she must have done something shameless. It's a relief that her father didn't beat her to death. He's truly forgiving."

Princess Yongning's words seemed to be poisoned. She belittled Shi Qing, whom she had never met, to make herself feel at ease.

Of course, she was unwilling to marry the eldest grandson of the Cui family. However, this matter angered her father, and they could not live in peace. Princess Yongning was in trouble and had no choice but to choose to get married.

Shi Qing and Chun Lin stood outside Changle Palace for a while. She listened to what they said, but she never interrupted them.

In full view of the crowd, Shi Qing calmly walked into the hall with Chunlin, sat down at a random place, and his eyes fell on the noble lady and princess who had just spread rumors, silently bearing a grudge.

"Hey, who are you from? Why don't you bow to the princess?"

The girl who was speaking was Princess Yongning's follower, Jin Mi, the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister. She usually flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak, slandering everyone indiscriminately.

Shi Qing stood up and bowed to the princess. "Greetings, Princess. I am the daughter of Shi Jianye, the Minister of Rites. I am Shi Qing."

She spoke in a calm and composed manner, neither humble nor arrogant, which made the noble lady who had just thrown dirty water behind her face change slightly.

This situation can be said to be extremely embarrassing.

The girls' eyes fell on Shi Qing's face, trying to find fault with her appearance and clothing, but Shi Qing's skin was as white as cream, her complexion was fair, and her appearance was even more extraordinary, so they could not find any fault with her.

The clothes Shi Qing wore were made of precious brocade, and even the hairpin on her head was a seasonal limited edition from a jewelry store, priceless.

The girls' looks changed. Some were secretly envious, and of course some were secretly complaining, but Shi Qing didn't care.

When the love rivals meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. Princess Yongning's eyes fell on Shi Qing's face, and a strong jealousy flashed in her heart, as if she wanted to kill her with a knife.

"It is true that I am short-sighted."

She suddenly sighed, and the expression on her face was intriguing.

Jin Mi glared at her and quickly added, "It's good that you know you are not presentable."

Shi Qing sneered, "When I was recuperating on the farm due to illness, I heard from the governess that the noble ladies in the capital were all as well-educated, gentle and virtuous as fairies, and they were the best. Now that I see them, I realize that my governess was too narrow-minded."

Jin Mi was the most impulsive person. She was Princess Yongning's vanguard. When she heard Shi Qing's words, she couldn't help but stab her.

"Shi Qing, what do you mean by this? Are you scolding the girls present?

But you don't even consider your own worth, thinking that everyone else is as disrespectful as you. You haven't even married the Xuanyuan Governor yet, but you're already rushing to the Xuanyuan Mansion. You're truly shortsighted."

Jin Mi is good at stirring up hatred, and with just one word, she made Shi Qing the target of public criticism, as if what she said was directed at all women.

Shi Qing covered his lips and chuckled, looking at Jin Mi with a nonchalant look.

"Oh, young lady, are you so anxious to identify yourself? I didn't say anything, I was just lamenting that some people are as talkative as the servants in the backyard.
