Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

Ziyue knew Qi Qiuyi.

He is 21 years old this year. Born into a poor family, he achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations, becoming the top scholar at the age of 16.

In just a few years, he has risen to the position of Minister of Personnel, a first-rank official in Jingli Kingdom, and a confidant of her emperor uncle, enjoying his deep trust and high regard.

It was at her welcome banquet that she noticed that gentleman with a distinguished air.

Perhaps sensing Ziyue's gaze, the man looked up, his sharp eyes completely at odds with his gentlemanly and dignified demeanor.

Qi Qiu looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful woman in white sitting alone on the artificial hill. His eyes darkened, and his normally beating heart skipped a beat. He quickly bowed and paid his respects.

"Your subject Qi Qiu also pays respects to the General and Princess Anle. I was unaware that the Princess was here and was disrespectful just now. I hope the Princess will forgive me."

"Minister, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise. Ignorance is no excuse. This general doesn't have so many rules here," Ziyue said with a smile.

"Your subject thanks Your Highness." Qi Qiu also clasped his hands tightly, bowing respectfully with no sign of anything amiss on his face, before rising.

Looking at his dignified and serious appearance, Ziyue couldn't help but want to tease him, so she jokingly asked, "Minister, did you come here to find some peace and quiet?"

Qi Qiu stood still, neither moving closer nor further away. Hearing the princess's question, he replied, "Your Highness, the atmosphere in the hall is a bit too hot. His Majesty has not yet arrived, so I came out to get some fresh air."

"Oh, the view from up there is quite nice too. Would Your Excellency like to come up and enjoy the moon with me?"

Before he could agree, Ziyue leaped down, wrapped one arm around Qi Qiuyi's waist, and with a light touch of her toes, carried him up to the artificial hill.

Even after sitting on the artificial hill, Qi Qiuyi was still somewhat dazed. When she finally came to her senses, her ears turned bright red, and she dared not look at Ziyue.

But the choice of body was straightforward. The princess was sitting right next to him, so close that their clothes seemed to brush against each other. He could almost smell the fragrance of the woman beside him, and his peripheral vision inevitably fell on her.

Just now, the princess flew down, as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth. Before he could react, the princess wrapped her arms around his waist and lifted him onto the artificial hill.

Now, recalling how close he had been to the princess and the princess's arms around his waist, he suddenly felt as if the spot on his waist where she had touched him was being burned by fire.

Ziyue caught a glimpse of Ruyu Gongzi's ears, which seemed to be tinged with a blush, and she felt extremely pleased.

At first glance, he seemed like a gentleman of impeccable character; upon second meeting, I discovered a sharp, serious yet endearingly naive side to him, making me find him truly interesting.

Ziyue's senses were incredibly sharp, so she naturally noticed his gaze and suddenly asked, "Is it pretty?"

Qi Qiu also realized his mistake and felt that he had lost his composure. Hearing the princess ask such a direct question, even the usually calm and composed Minister couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.

Seeing the man's slightly flustered appearance, Ziyue kindly let him off the hook and stopped teasing him. She said, "Why are you so nervous? I'm asking you, is the moon beautiful?"

Qi Qiuyi quickly replied, "Yes, it looks good."

After he finished speaking, his ears turned even redder, and it was unclear whether he was referring to the beauty of the moon or the beauty of the person.

However, Ziyue felt that he should have said the latter.

Yes, that's how confident I am!

The two sat atop the artificial hill, a gentle breeze rustling the shadows of the trees. The faint, delicate fragrance emanating from the princess was subtle yet delightful.

A gentle breeze blew through the princess's hair, a strand brushing against his shoulder. At that moment, Qi Qiu felt as if time had stood still, so peaceful and beautiful.

Looking up at the sky above, the countless stars seemed to fall into his eyes, their fragmented light flickering in his vision. As if lost in thought, his gaze deepened, becoming as dark as ink, like a deep pool in the night, shimmering with an unknown light.

As the birthday banquet was about to begin, Ziyue spoke first, teasingly asking, "I wonder if Minister Shangshu needs any help from this princess?"

Qi Qiuyi's eyes darkened, and he clasped his hands together in a slight bow. His movements were fluid and graceful, and his voice was deep and husky, but there was no politeness in his words. "Then I will trouble you, Princess."

With a slight smile on her lips, Ziyue stepped forward, reached out and wrapped her arms around the man's waist, and in the blink of an eye, she leaped down.

After gently placing the person back on the ground, the two separated slightly. Qi Qiu also bowed and said, "Thank you for inviting me to admire the moon with you today, Princess. The moon tonight is exceptionally beautiful; it is the most beautiful moon I have ever seen."

Ziyue smiled slightly, "The banquet is about to begin, Minister, please come with me."

"Yes." Qi Qiu's face remained expressionless, but his wildly beating heart betrayed the joy in his heart.

Ziyue took the lead, and Qiqiu followed slightly behind, half a step behind her, closely following her as they headed to the banquet venue.

As soon as they entered the banquet hall, the two attracted the attention of many people.

After all, the two of them, one dressed in white and the other in purple, looked like a perfect couple standing together.

but,,,

Many people's gazes turned, seemingly casually, to the red-clad man sitting somewhere. This...

Everyone knows that this is Princess Anle, who is currently pursuing them; there are probably very few people in the entire city who don't know this.

The crowd's eyes darted back and forth between the two sides, their eyes shining with excitement. Who wouldn't love watching the drama unfold?

As soon as Ziyue entered, she noticed the man in red sitting in her seat. She raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious as to why a martial arts figure like him would be here.

As soon as the man in red saw Ziyue enter, he noticed a man in purple who was walking almost side by side with her. He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and walked over.

"Princess, may I ask who this gentleman is?"

He actually knew, after all, his intelligence agency was not just for show, but he still asked, wanting to hear how Ziyue would introduce this person.

"How did you end up here?" Ziyue asked instead of answering.

“Hmm…” Jiang Yu blinked and said in a soft voice with an innocent look, “I just contributed a little bit to the national treasury, so His Majesty specially allowed me to attend his birthday banquet.”

Ziyue was speechless after hearing this. Could they really do that?

He must have lost a lot of blood this time, right?

Otherwise, her emperor uncle would definitely not have agreed to let her stay at the banquet.

Of course, there's another possibility: they just want to see gossip about the two of them.

Ziyue felt that this must be the truth!
