Quick Transmigration: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Became the Male Lead's Beloved

The banquet continued in a lively and enthusiastic manner.

Many princes and princesses toasted Ni Qing one after another, and after several cups, they did not see her lose her composure. Instead, they themselves blushed first.

In the end, he only left with the words, "The princess has a good capacity for alcohol," before chuckling dryly as he departed.

Many of them were still quite young, and after drinking for a while, they wanted to stroll around the Imperial Garden behind the palace. Just then, the sky gradually darkened, and the moon became bright and clear.

"Miss, why don't we go for a walk too?" Zhuzhu had been standing at the back for a long time, and her legs were already numb. However, she couldn't move around freely under the watchful eyes of these people.

Ni Qing noticed her hesitation and immediately nodded.

His Majesty of Yu Kingdom has not been in good health lately. After making some opening remarks and drinking some wine, he returned to his palace. She did not need to report to him and simply stood up and slowly walked towards the backyard.

The princes exchanged glances and nudged the somewhat drunk Third Prince: "Third Brother, that beautiful princess has gone to the Imperial Garden for some fresh air, aren't you going to follow her?"

Bai Mufeng sensed their sarcasm. Having been with countless women, he was quite knowledgeable about such matters and immediately laughed: "She's just someone I can control, a mere princess. Why are you all making such a fuss?"

The third prince was born into a noble family and had a lot of money. Although the competition for the position of crown prince in the palace was extremely fierce, he was uneducated and fond of brothels since childhood, and had several concubines outside.

Nobody took him seriously.

After saying that, he stood up unsteadily, his cheeks flushed, and stumbled toward the direction where the girl in green had left.

Bai Guanqing glanced at him lazily, then slowly poured himself another glass of wine. His every move exuded an innate air of nobility, leaving many women and princesses stunned.

Although they found it difficult to approach this prince whom they had not seen for seven or eight years, some of the daughters of the prime minister's family still stepped forward to offer him a toast under the influence of alcohol.

"Seventh Prince, I have long admired your name. Let me offer you a toast."

The young man in the black fine clothes paused his wine glass, glanced at the newcomer casually as if it were a handout, and then lowered his head with little interest.

Despite the large number of people, he still politely returned the toast.

The Prime Minister's daughter: "Yes, that's the look in your eyes when you look at a dog, it's so irresistible!"

She screamed inwardly, for the Seventh Prince's appearance was the most outstanding in the world.

Seeing that she had succeeded, more and more princesses and young ladies came to toast her.

------

The Imperial Garden was a beautiful place, filled with exotic flowers and plants that they had never seen before, and their fragrance was wonderful. They found a pond and sat down by a huge rock.

A cool breeze was blowing, and the moonlight, like a layer of silver gauze, enveloped all things in the world.

Seeing this made Zhuzhu a little homesick.

"Does Miss miss home?" she asked directly.

Ni Qing glanced at her: "There's no one at home I care about, so why should I think about them?"

She was never favored, had no family affection, and was disliked by others, so there was nothing for her to think about.

Zhuzhu, longing for home, asked, "Really? You don't want Young Master Li, Young Master Xu, or Young Master Yang?"

Ni Qing: "..." These cats and dogs.

It seems the original owner of this body has deeply resonated with people.

Helpless, it seemed someone behind me accidentally stepped on a dry branch, making a crisp sound.

Ni Qing turned her head and saw a man standing behind her, with a serious expression and a smile, even a little deliberately affected.

Zhuzhu gasped in surprise at the sudden appearance of the person.

"Who are you!" she exclaimed in alarm.

She had no idea when the people around her had gone far away, and it was so dark that she was really afraid that this man would do something improper.

Bai Mufeng smiled slightly, thinking himself handsome and dashing: "Princess, don't panic. I am the Third Prince, Bai Mufeng. It is our first meeting today, and I haven't been able to greet you until now."

Zhuzhu gradually relaxed her guard, relieved that he wasn't a suspicious person.

The girl in green raised an eyebrow. The bright moonlight shone on her, and in Bai Mufeng's eyes, she was so white that she seemed to glow, with exquisite and beautiful features, like a fairy descended from heaven.

He couldn't help but step forward and grab her hand: "The princess is beautiful."

Ni Qing also smelled the alcohol on him and frowned in disgust. She coldly withdrew her hand, stood up, and took a few steps to the side.

"The Third Prince is drunk, which is rather impolite. He should come and greet you again when he is sober." With that, she turned to leave.

Bai Mufeng hurriedly stopped him: "I'm not drunk! To be honest, my father wants to betroth you to me. We have a long future ahead of us."

Zhuzhu was furious and stood in front of Ni Qing, saying, "What do you mean by 'there's always tomorrow'? Don't you dare touch my young lady."

In her haste, she forgot her own status and contradicted the prince.

As expected, Bai Mufeng's face darkened: "Where did this brat come from? Get out of my sight! Don't come any closer without my orders, or I'll have you sold to a brothel."

Zhuzhu wanted to argue, but someone behind her patted her on the shoulder: "Zhuzhu, go ahead, I'm fine."

Ni Qing smiled and said, her mischievous expression making Zhu Zhu seem a little overthinking things.

"That's more like it. Your Highness is very perceptive." Bai Mufeng nodded in satisfaction.

After Zhuzhu left, he tried to take Ni Qing's hand again.

The girl in green didn't move. Her long, black eyelashes blinked playfully and mischievously. There was a pond nearby, and she didn't mind if he went down to calm down.

However, if you kick a prince, you need to come up with a good reason.

As she pondered, she was just about to take action.

Bai Mufeng suddenly cried out "Ouch!" and fell into the pond.

Ni Qing: "..." Could this be...?

Conflict? ?

He couldn't float, and Ni Qing hadn't planned to rescue him so quickly. She watched helplessly as he swallowed several mouthfuls of water, struggling and creating huge splashes.

Why did the young princess stand by and watch someone die?

A familiar soft laugh rang out.

Ni Qing narrowed her eyes and looked over. The newcomer was hidden in the darkness, leaning against a poplar tree, his deep and sharp eyes filled with a mocking meaning.

"Isn't this the Seventh Prince? Seeing his elder brother fall into the water, he has the leisure to chat with me?" Ni Qing was not one to mince words.

She feigned reluctance: "How can I, a mere woman, rashly jump into the water to save a man? Does Your Highness perhaps wish to ruin my innocence and reputation?"

Seeing her half-brother fall into the water, she calmly asked why she didn't save him; she must have nothing better to do.

Bai Guanqing laughed instead of getting angry: "Innocence and reputation? Did the princess really have those two things?"

Ni Qing was mocked, but she just smiled and didn't reply.

The third prince was still struggling to survive in the water, while the two on the shore were locked in a fierce confrontation, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface.

"Could you... glug glug... save... glug glug... me first?"

"If the Seventh Prince doesn't act soon, I'm afraid we might really lose one of our elder brothers today," Ni Qing kindly reminded him. "I don't understand why Your Highness is so hostile towards me; we have no grudge against each other..."

“Ni Qing,” the handsome young man interrupted her directly, saying calmly, “Aren’t you done acting yet?”

He stopped calling her "Princess" and called her by her real name.
