Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

Ziyue raised an eyebrow at the other person but did not say anything.

"You don't believe me?" the man asked.

"I believe you." The tone was unwavering, yet utterly nonchalant.

Hearing Ziyue's seemingly casual and indifferent tone, the man in red wasn't in a hurry. After all, he had plenty of patience.

He lightly touched his sleeve, picked up the wine glass on the table in front of him, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Perhaps it was because she had just poured the drink for him herself? He found the drink to be surprisingly sweet.

The man in red smiled broadly, one hand resting on the table, the other supporting his chin. His beautiful, deep eyes were fixed on Ziyue as he slowly spoke.

"I fell in love with the general at first sight, and my heart was captivated upon seeing him again. From now on, the general will likely see me frequently."

"Oh? The owner of the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven, the head of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, are you so free?" Ziyue asked.

She had already asked Xiao Jiu'er about the identity of the person in front of her. Jiang Yu was the owner of the No. 1 Restaurant in the world, and could be said to be the richest person in the world, with various shops all over the country.

He is also the head of the Tianji Pavilion, secretly engaging in various intelligence businesses.

He studied under Master Tianjizi of Tianmen Mountain, and his martial arts skills were unfathomable. By the way, even the male protagonist in the original book had to call him Junior Uncle.

The man in red's eyes darkened; he hadn't expected that she already knew his identity.

The identity of the owner of the Number One Pavilion under Heaven is public knowledge, and many people know it. However, besides him, only a few of his right and left hands know both of his identities.

However, Jiang Yu looked at the woman sitting opposite him with even more intense eyes, "General, you really surprise me."

She truly is the woman I've chosen.

Of course, he didn't say the last sentence aloud.

The two sat facing each other, drinking and chatting. One was alluring in red, the other stunning in white, creating an eerily harmonious and beautiful atmosphere.

In the following days, Ziyue would go out of the mansion to stroll around the streets, or go out of the city to check on the situation of the generals and soldiers, or go to the palace to have a meal with her uncle, the emperor.

Logically speaking, she was supposed to attend the morning court session, but her uncle, the emperor, granted her a special pardon, allowing her to go if she wanted and not go if she didn't, showing her the utmost favor.

She had no desire to get up in the middle of the night every day to attend court, to listen to those old men chattering and arguing in the Golden Palace, their words carrying hidden meanings. Wasn't sleeping in much better?!

These days, Jiang Yu often appears in front of Zi Yue.

He'd either show up while she was shopping, or while she was dining at a restaurant, or while she was admiring flowers...

In short, he put his promise that night—that he would appear in front of her often in the future—into action.

Now, her maids, including her uncle the emperor, the empress, and her brother the crown prince, all know that a stunningly handsome man in red, the owner of the number one restaurant in the world, is openly pursuing Ziyue.

When Ziyue entered the palace to dine with the emperor, she was teased by the emperor's uncle.

His words implied that if she truly liked him, he would grant her a marriage.

Ziyue rejected her; she didn't want to get married so early.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Soon, His Majesty's birthday arrived, and the palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, filled with a joyous atmosphere. The palace maids and eunuchs were also particularly happy these days, after all, they had all received rewards.

Ziyue had moved into the palace a day earlier and personally delivered her gift to her uncle, the emperor.

The gift she gave was a piece of warm jade engraved with a dragon pattern. It was of excellent quality, warm to the touch, and extremely precious and rare.

The emperor's uncle was extremely pleased and, in turn, bestowed upon Ziyue a great deal of gold, silver, jewels, jewelry, and clothing.

Looking at the several large boxes being carried by the eunuchs behind her, Ziyue was in a very good mood.

Although she doesn't lack these things, who would complain about having too many good things in their possession?

Especially since she has such a love for luxury, she likes fine clothes, jewelry, and pearls.

If you have the means to enjoy life, then naturally your quality of life will be as good as it gets!

The main theme is that you should never wrong yourself, even if it means wronging anyone else.

She made up her mind; she was going to fleece her emperor uncle as much as possible.

After leaving her uncle, the emperor, Ziyue went to visit the empress. She had dinner at the empress's palace and then returned to her palace to rest under the moonlight, completely satisfied.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

On His Majesty's birthday, Ziyue got up early and was the first to rush to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to wish the Emperor a happy birthday. She even went into the kitchen to make a bowl of longevity noodles and had breakfast with the Emperor.

She moved her emperor uncle to tears.

For the emperor, his niece was truly incredibly filial.

He knew how lazy Qing'er usually was, but today she actually got up so early just to come and make him a bowl of longevity noodles by herself. He had to reward her.

So with a wave of his hand, another wave of rewards was bestowed.

With her hands behind her back, Ziyue walked happily towards her palace. Today was another day of getting something for nothing.

No wonder he's her uncle! He's so generous!

～～～～～～～

In the evening, a banquet was held in the palace, where the emperor and his officials were entertained in the Qingxin Hall.

Ziyue arrived at Qingxin Palace early this time, but instead of going to the banquet hall, she found a quiet pavilion to sit in.

Next to the pavilion was a tall artificial hill, so Ziyue flew up and sat alone on the artificial hill to admire the moon.

It's the sixteenth of the lunar month, and the moon is exceptionally round tonight.

The moon, large and round like a disc, hangs in the sky, seemingly within reach.

The sky is filled with countless stars, like a shimmering tapestry adorned with various patterns, dreamlike and beautiful beyond words, captivating all who behold it.

Having never experienced the pollution of modern industrialization or the effects of severe smog, the ancient starry sky was always a source of joy for Ziyue.

Just then, footsteps approached from behind, presumably also coming here to find some peace and quiet.

However, that person certainly didn't notice her.

That's right. She's sitting on the artificial hill, so you wouldn't notice her unless you specifically look up this way.

Ziyue turned around curiously to look.

The man was dressed in a purple straight-cut court robe, with a matching gold-embroidered belt around his waist. His black hair was tied up and secured with a crown inlaid with jasper and gold. His tall and slender body stood straight, and he was handsome and refined. A faint and elegant smile played on his lips. He was truly a gentleman of jade.

Ziyue knew Qi Qiuyi.
