Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Yue Zeyuan suddenly leaned over, grabbed her hand that was behind her back, and pulled out the hairpin she had hidden in her palm.

He flicked his wrist backward, and the hairpin jingled as it stuck into a pillar in the hall, the shaft trembling against the pillar.

"I won't touch you, just behave yourself."

After saying this, he took off his outer robe, got into bed, lay down, and closed his eyes.

After all that, it turns out he had already discovered the hairpin Qi Ning was hiding in her hand. He made her take off her clothes just to check if she was carrying any other weapons to prevent her from assassinating him.

Qi Ning turned around, looked at Yue Zeyuan lying on the bed, and rolled her eyes slightly.

She stood by the tatami mat for a moment, then lifted the covers and lay down next to Yue Zeyuan.

What are you doing up here?

Yue Zeyuan opened his eyes, glanced at her sideways, and questioned her.

He always slept alone, so how could he possibly get used to having someone else next to him?

Qi Ning was completely baffled. She sat up and said, "Where else can I sleep if not here?"

She turned her head and looked around the hall, and found that there seemed to be a small couch behind the screen where a palace servant was keeping watch at night.

Qi Ning asked incredulously, "You can't possibly make me sleep on the small couch, can you?"

She had just stripped down to her undergarments and gotten into bed like that. Now, as she propped herself up and spoke to Yue Zeyuan, the blanket slipped off her chest, and from Yue Zeyuan's perspective, he saw everything he should and shouldn't have seen.

Yue Zeyuan's gaze swept over her snow-white chest, then looked at her beautiful eyes, and finally settled on her mouth that was still speaking.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting tonight? I'm exhausted, and you still want me to sleep on the small couch? I was a princess before, and now I'm a princess. I've never been treated like this before..."

Before she could even utter the word "wronged," Yue Zeyuan suddenly pulled her up and pinned her down.

Qi Ning was stunned. She stared wide-eyed at Yue Zeyuan, who was pressing down on her.

He seemed uninterested in her just a moment ago, how come he changed his mind now?

"Noisy."

Yue Zeyuan looked down at her and uttered those two words.

Is it because they think she talks too much?

"If you hadn't told me not to sleep here, why would I have said so much?"

Qi Ning reached out and pushed him: "Get up."

But Yue Zeyuan raised his hand and grabbed Qi Ning's wrist.

Yue Zeyuan agreed to this marriage alliance not simply for the sake of a woman.

Now that he has ascended the throne, he can have any woman he wants, so why would he be interested in a woman from Chu, especially the orphaned daughter of the King of Yun?

Therefore, he did not intend to touch her just now.

But at this moment, Yue Zeyuan became interested.

What do he care about women from Yue or Chu? He'll unify the North and South sooner or later, and then they'll all be his.

He grabbed Qi Ning's wrist with one hand and used the other to untie the ribbon behind Qi Ning's neck.

"you……"

Qi Ning tilted her neck slightly.

Yue Zeyuan paused.

"What? Since you've come here for a political marriage, you're my woman. What's wrong with me touching you? Or do you intend to remain chaste for Chu Hanfeng?"

"You just said it yourself, you won't touch me."

"I have changed my mind."

After Yue Zeyuan finished speaking, he directly pulled off the tie behind Qi Ning's neck...

The next day.

When Qi Ning woke up, Yue Zeyuan was no longer there.

Qi Ning looked at the empty bed beside her and muttered curses under her breath.

dog man.

"Princess, you're awake?"

Hearing the commotion, the maidservant standing guard outside asked from behind the bed curtains.

Since Qi Ning has not yet been officially granted a title, the maid can only address her as princess.

Qi Ning then stopped and hummed in agreement.

The maid lifted the bed curtains: "This servant will help you get up."

Qi Ning then stretched out her bare arm, allowing the maid to help her up.

The maidservant looked away shyly when she saw the red marks on Qi Ning's arms and chest.

Qi Ning, however, showed no change in expression and allowed the palace servants to attend to her.

After Qi Ning finished getting ready, the maid led her to the dining table.

"Princess, His Majesty left early this morning. Please have your breakfast."

Qi Ning didn't care when Yue Zeyuan left. She sat down at the table and ate her breakfast while being served by the maid.

But before she could take a few bites, someone suddenly came in to report.

"Princess, Eunuch Xu from His Majesty's side has arrived. He has brought an imperial decree."

This means that Qi Ning should go out and receive the imperial decree.

Qi Ning stood up and went outside, where she saw an eunuch leading a group of people in.

The imperial decree was very simple, containing only one sentence: Princess Pingning was granted the title of Consort Ning.

This marriage alliance was proposed by the State of Chu as a gesture of goodwill; in essence, it was a defeated state that sent a princess to Chu for a marriage alliance.

As the dominant party, Yue naturally didn't need to give them much face, nor could it possibly make this princess, who was sent for marriage, its empress.

The empress of Yue Zeyuan should, in principle, be chosen from among the noble ladies of the Yue Kingdom.

However, Yue Zeyuan had only recently ascended the throne and had been on the battlefield ever since, so he hadn't had time to select any candidates.

It is reasonable for Yue Zeyuan to grant the Chu princess the title of Consort Ning, which is quite high.

Qi Ning accepted the imperial edict without any objection.

After announcing the imperial decree, Eunuch Xu said with a smile, "Congratulations, Consort Ning. In addition, His Majesty also said that the maidservant you brought from Chu Kingdom is ignorant of the rules and dared to escape on her own. His Majesty has already arranged for people to search for her."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning's eyes flickered slightly.

She calmly replied, "Of course, Your Majesty may arrest her if you wish. If you do arrest the maid, I hope Your Majesty will hand her over to me for disposal."

Eunuch Xu nodded slightly: "Yes, this servant will convey Her Highness's wishes to His Majesty."

He then added, “Since Your Majesty’s personal maid has run away and there is no reliable person to serve you, Your Majesty has instructed me to arrange a suitable maid for you.”

As he spoke, he beckoned a maidservant to come forward.

That maid was the same one who had helped Qi Ning wash up and change clothes earlier.

She knelt down before Qi Ning and kowtowed, saying, "This servant, Yulan, greets Your Highness."

"Yulan, you must serve Consort Ning well from now on," Eunuch Xu instructed.

"Yes, the servant understands."

Qi Ning said to Yulan, "Get up."

"Thank you, empress."

Yulan got up and stepped aside, but Eunuch Xu was still standing in front of Qi Ning, as if he still had something to say.

"Is there anything else, Eunuch Xu?" Qi Ning asked.

"That's right, there's one more thing."

Eunuch Xu gave a wink to the people behind him, and the palace servants behind him came forward with a bowl of steaming hot medicine.

"Your Majesty, this is the contraceptive soup His Majesty instructed us to give you. Please drink it while it's hot."

Qi Ning looked at the bowl of medicine that was handed to her, and was not surprised.

She had already smelled it.

It's normal for Yue Zeyuan to make this arrangement. He doesn't have an empress yet, so how could he let a princess from an enemy country give birth to his imperial heir?

Moreover, Yue Zeyuan might still have some doubts about her identity.

For him, touching a woman was nothing special. Regardless of whether she was a princess sent for a political marriage, he would never allow her to bear him an heir.
