I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Early that morning, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the An Mansion.

"Miss! Miss!" the maid's excited voice came from outside the door, "The imperial edict has arrived! The selection has begun!"

An Lingrong sat up suddenly in bed, her heart pounding. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"I understand. You go down and prepare first." She ordered in a deep voice.

The maidservant withdrew, and An Lingrong slowly stood up and walked to the bronze mirror. She stared at her reflection with a complicated look in her eyes.

Three years have passed like a stream, and the innocent and naive girl is gone. The person in the mirror has skin as smooth as cream, eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting, and every gesture is elegant and calm.

An Lingrong gently stroked her cheek and murmured to herself, "I've finally waited for this day."

She turned and walked to the wardrobe, picking out a pale pink dress. The silk texture shone softly in the sunlight, highlighting her graceful figure.

"Young lady is becoming more and more beautiful!" The maid Xiaotao's eyes sparkled with admiration, her voice filled with sincere praise. "In this talent show, young lady will definitely stand out and become the focus of everyone's attention!"

When An Lingrong heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint and elegant smile.

She gently adjusted her sleeves and gracefully turned to face Xiaotao. Her tone was gentle yet commanding. "Xiaotao, go prepare some refreshments." An Lingrong's voice was gentle, yet contained a hint of unquestionable authority. "I'm going to the study to discuss the draft with my father later. I need some refreshments to keep me awake."

Xiao Tao quickly responded, bowed respectfully, and then turned and left lightly, her skirt drawing a graceful arc in the air. The room suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of birds singing outside the window and the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

"Ding! The host is about to enter the audition stage. I wish the host immediate success and complete the task as soon as possible!" Su Mengmeng's voice sounded in An Lingrong's mind, crisp and pleasant.

Three days later, the carriage slowly pulled into the capital. An Lingrong lifted the curtains and was greeted by a bustling street scene. She stared intently at the rows of shops lining the streets, the constant clamor of vendors filling her ears.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a house.

An Lingrong stood still after getting out of the car, looking up at the three-story courtyard before her. A copper ring hung from the vermilion gate, and lush green vines climbed the walls.

She walked slowly into the courtyard and saw rockery, flowing water, lush flowers and trees, and elegance everywhere.

An Lingrong nodded with satisfaction and said softly, "Although this house is not luxurious, it is elegant and unique, just right for a temporary stay to recuperate." She took a deep breath, feeling the unique atmosphere of the capital, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

On the morning of the talent show, as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window, An Lingrong was already up and dressing. She carefully donned a pale blue dress, the delicate lotus embroidery on the hem gleaming in the morning light.

An Lingrong sat at her dressing table, her slender fingers deftly pulling her long black hair high up and securing it securely with a jade hairpin. She gently put on a pair of crystal-clear pearl earrings, which set off her skin as white as snow.

Qiuyue stood aside, her eyes sparkling with wonder and joy. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss, you are absolutely stunning today! With such a beautiful appearance and temperament, you will definitely be a success in the talent show!"

When An Lingrong heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

An Lingrong walked lightly outside the hall and found a quiet corner to stand in. She lowered her head slightly, folded her hands in front of her, and looked like she was waiting respectfully.

There was a sound of brisk footsteps not far away. An Lingrong looked up and saw two girls approaching hand in hand, one of whom was Zhen Huan.

"Huan'er, you are dressed too plainly." Shen Meizhuang said softly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Zhen Huan smiled and shook her head: "Sister Mei Zhuang, don't worry. I just want to keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention."

Shen Meizhuang sighed and reached out to straighten Zhen Huan's clothes: "You are always so stubborn. But I understand your thoughts."

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the courtyard. An Lingrong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young girl in gorgeous brocade clothes standing in the middle of the flowers, loudly announcing something.

"Everyone, please look!" The girl raised the exquisite blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand, her eyes gleaming with pride. "This is the finest tea my father brought back from all the way south! I dare say you have never tasted such a rare and exquisite product!"

An Lingrong took a closer look and recognized it as Xia Dongchun. She couldn't help but smile, thinking to herself, "In my previous life, I accidentally bumped into her and got into a lot of trouble. Now it seems that I have avoided this disaster."

Xia Dongchun continued to talk, his voice full of boasting: "This tea is picked from the misty mountains, and each leaf is carefully selected by the tea pickers..."

Just then, a melodious bell rang out, interrupting Xia Dongchun's words. The sound echoed throughout the courtyard, startling a few sparrows perched on the branches. Everyone stopped and cast their eyes in the direction of the bell. The audition had begun.
