Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Villain is Extremely Difficult to Mess With

at the same time.

Qin Jingxing brought Xiaomei into the palace.

Xiaomei was carrying a basket covered with a black cloth.

She barely concealed her jealousy and smiled as she struck up a conversation with Qin Jingxing, "Your Highness, you're really generous. This Persian cat is so precious, and you actually found it to give to He Suining."

Qin Jingxing was used to turning a blind eye to her disrespectful address as Empress.

Xiaomei is clever and quick-witted; she would never speak like that if there were outsiders present.

“I have neglected her recently, but she did things for me that she didn’t want to do. If I don’t show any appreciation, I’m afraid I will hurt her feelings.”

He stretched out his long, slender fingers and parted the black cloth.

The Persian cat that was caught and put in the cage was not very good-natured. When it saw light and people, it bared its teeth at the cage.

He frowned and lowered the black cloth again. "Just an animal. She once said she liked cats. I only spent a little money, it's nothing. But... Xiaomei, you've been taking care of this cat lately, why is it still so naughty these days?"

"Your Highness~" A hint of panic flashed in Xiaomei's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it, her voice becoming somewhat coquettish, "Beasts can't be tamed. Even dogs might bite their owners. Besides, everyone says that cats are wild and can't be tamed. Xiaomei thinks that He Suining might just like that wildness."

"If you give her a little trinket that she can manipulate at will, she might not like it much."

Qin Jingxing didn't know much about cats, but he felt that what Xiaomei said made some sense.

A cool and aloof beauty might simply be attracted to those who are different from the crowd.

He nodded and said nothing more.

They went to the Queen's palace to pay their respects.

When they arrived, they discovered, unfortunately, that the Empress had just been summoned away by the Empress Dowager's servants, who said they were going to the Fragrant Plum Garden to admire the flowers and enjoy tea.

Qin Jingxing's eyes flashed.

After leaving, he turned to Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, this is a great opportunity."

Xiao Mei looked up, not quite understanding. "Your Highness, I am ignorant. What do you mean?"

"The Empress Dowager always stays in Yongshou Palace and rarely comes out. I met her a few times when I was young, so I know a little about her. She likes Buddhism and is a vegetarian, but she is terrified of animals. She is afraid of any living cat, dog, or even horse."

Xiao Mei, seemingly understanding but not quite, hugged the cage in her arms. "Could it be that His Highness intends to..."

"Tell me," Qin Jingxing said, "if I were to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, and a wild cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere and startled her, causing her to fall into the water, and I were to jump in to save her, what would Father do then?" Qin Jingxing took out his fan and fanned himself with amusement.

Xiaomei understood and smiled, "The Emperor will surely look at you with new respect for saving his life, not to mention that this is the Empress Dowager."

“Yes.” Qin Jingxing narrowed his eyes fiercely.

With a 'whoosh,' he snapped the fan shut again. 'Now, Father won't only have eyes for that useless Crown Prince, will he? Qin Jinnian's removal from the throne is no big deal as long as he doesn't regain favor. As for the other princes, if I can establish my presence in Father's court a few more times, surely they won't be better candidates for the throne than me?'

Xiao Mei nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Qin Jingxing's idea. "Yes, Your Highness. We can't put all our eggs in one basket with He Suining. Even if we can't get the military tally, this is still a good option."

Of course, if you get it, you shouldn't force the issue unless absolutely necessary.

"That's right." Qin Jingxing squinted at the cage shrouded in black cloth, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this was God reminding him.

Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence?

It was neither early nor late, but just as he was carrying the cat in, the Empress Dowager came out.

*

He Suining naturally had to keep the Empress Dowager's invitation.

Fragrant Plum Garden.

Various kinds of plum blossoms are planted here. As soon as you step in, you can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms, which makes you feel refreshed.

The plum garden is built on the lake, surrounded by long bridges and pavilions.

Upon stepping onto the long bridge, He Suining saw the Empress Dowager sitting in a pavilion not far away, quietly drinking tea. Her aunt was fanning herself gently with a fan beside her.

The Empress Dowager did not notice her approaching.

Looking towards the plum garden not far away, the plum blossoms there, though artificially cultivated, were quite beautiful.

A gust of wind blows, and plum blossoms fall.

Some of them fell into the long lake and flowed slowly across the small bridge.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has arrived." Aunt Sun noticed the Empress approaching gracefully and whispered a reminder to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager looked indifferently towards the long bridge.

In the Empress Dowager's eyes, the Empress had a well-proportioned face and delicate, willow-leaf eyebrows. Her eyes, in particular, were as gentle as autumn water, yet upon closer inspection, one could discern a subtle, cool detachment. She had vermilion lips, pearly teeth, and a face as beautiful as a peach blossom.

Today's attire is not extravagant or luxurious, but rather elegant and understated.

She walked with great poise, step by step.

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with her appearance, figure, demeanor, and clothing.

When the Empress Dowager saw her, her expression softened considerably.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects. May Your Majesty enjoy good health and all things go smoothly." Her etiquette was impeccable, without a single flaw.

The Empress Dowager hummed in agreement and slightly raised her hand, "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Xingzi helped He Suining sit down.

When she arrived, the Empress Dowager looked at her closely a few more times. The more she looked, the more beautiful she became, but she did not have the seductive charm she had imagined.

Unlike Consort Ru, who clearly had a seductive and alluring nature.

She smiled gently, "I remember when you first entered the palace, you didn't smile much, and you didn't seem to be in good health. But today, you look much more radiant."

is not that right.

The original owner of this body did not enter the palace voluntarily; without her beloved, she was extremely distressed.

"The palace has excellent feng shui; it's a nurturing place. Plus, with the Empress Dowager's blessings and the Emperor's awe-inspiring power, even if I were to have any problems, they would all be fine."

The Empress Dowager chuckled, "Everyone says you have a cold and aloof personality, but I don't think so. You're quite the charmer."

She got up.

He Suining quickly stood up and took the initiative to help the Empress Dowager.

Xingzi placed her hands on her waist and abdomen, falling a few steps behind Aunt Sun, and followed behind her masters.

"Just follow me across the long bridge and take a look... This inner palace is indeed a nurturing place, but sometimes quite a few concubines die tragically, which is truly pitiful." The Empress Dowager and He Suining walked together, seemingly chatting casually, but in reality, she was subtly giving her a warning.

If someone is stupid and can't understand, that's one thing, but how could He Suining not understand?

Even if the original owner herself came, she would understand. The only difference might be their mindset.

He Suining understood that the Empress Dowager might seem easy to get along with and appear nonchalant.

But if you say something wrong or act inappropriately, you will be met with imperial wrath.

Just as the Empress Dowager was preparing to give her a harsher reprimand...

Xiao Mei has already quietly arrived at Xiangmei Garden as instructed by the prince.
