Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

Xuan Chengyan was taken aback, a strange feeling creeping into his heart: "No need, you can sleep next to me."

"Your Highness, I am quite confident in myself. I'm afraid you might not be able to control yourself if we share a bed."

"Hahaha, you, don't worry, I can handle it." Xuan Chengyan laughed loudly.

"Alright then, make sure you cover yourself with the blanket. If I can't control myself, you'll have to push it away."

His Highness the Crown Prince burst into laughter again, feeling a great weight lifted off his shoulders after a month of tension.

Liang Yongfu, who was serving outside the door, looked kindly at the palace servants around Consort Lan, especially Jinshu and Qinghe, who were her dowry maids. Consort Lan's future was not bad, and the palace servants she trusted would naturally rise in rank.

He secretly admired Consort Lan. Her purpose in entering the Eastern Palace was impure from the start, including the Tian family's unfulfilled plans, which His Highness the Crown Prince was well aware of. Despite such a start, Consort Lan was able to turn the situation around; that was true skill.

The Lan family's sudden trip to the northern frontier was probably persuaded by Consort Lan. Regardless of whether His Highness the Crown Prince fully trusts the Lan family now, Consort Lan is not to be underestimated because she always manages to make His Highness feel comfortable.

Musk is known to help with sleep, and she had been burning that incense in her room for a long time, so the curtains and bedding had a faint scent. The two of them covered themselves with two quilts and each had a good night's sleep.

A good night's sleep makes one feel good. The next morning, Lan Wan'er got up with Xuan Chengyan. However, she had already established her persona of not being able to serve others. She handed over a few things and then ordered her maid to come in and help her wash up, as she still had to practice her martial arts later.

Xuan Chengyan was in a great mood. After getting dressed, he cupped her face and kissed her before leaving the courtyard in high spirits.

When the weather warmed up, Lan Wan'er summoned her mother and two sisters-in-law.

"In a few days, news of Father's injury will come from the northern frontier. Mother and sister-in-law should pack their bags and go to the northern frontier with my second uncle's cousin."

Madam Tian's face turned red, and she suddenly stood up: "Lan Wan'er, you are disobedient and unfilial."

"Mother, be careful what you say. Your future wealth and honor depend on me," Lan Wan'er calmly replied in the face of the accusation.

Tian was the second wife and was much younger than her husband. On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes, and there was a high probability that the man would die before her. Given her intelligence and mischievous behavior, did she still want to live a good life with her stepson?

Only with her own daughter firmly seated in the high position of imperial concubine could Lady Tian enjoy her later years in peace and comfort.

"Do you believe I'll risk everything to sue you for filial impiety?" Tears streamed down Tian's face as she threatened in a low voice, her words dripping with malice.

The two young mistresses of the Lan family were startled and jumped up from their seats, each pulling on one of Tian's shoulders.

"Madam, you mustn't say such hurtful things. You're making my sister feel terrible."

"Yes, Madam Hou, please speak slowly. My younger sister is your own daughter; she would never harm you."

Lan Wan'er remained calm. If she weren't in the Eastern Palace, she would have to be mindful of the time when visiting her family. She could have persuaded them slowly and subtly, but her time was limited, and Madam Tian was stubborn. To get her to stop making trouble willingly, she would have to use strong measures.

"Mother, you really need to be careful with your words. Your father is far away in the northern frontier, and you've sent your only biological daughter to this inaccessible place. Yet you still act so recklessly and speak so carelessly. Do you really think that the title of Lady of the Marquis can protect you and ensure the Tian family's future?"

"You, you've truly ripped my heart out!"

"Is this what you call heart-ripping? Father led the Lan family astray, and you forced me, a proper legitimate daughter of a marquis, into a concubine dependent on others. How much effort and sacrifice did I expend to bring the Lan family back on track? Do you think the pain of heart-ripping is worse than having our property confiscated and being beheaded?"

"Lan Wan'er, you keep saying things like confiscating property and beheadings are baseless rumors. You've forced your parents to live a life they don't want to live because of these things you speculate about. Your uncle is right, you've been misled."

"Mother, you must face reality: the Tian family is a bunch of arrogant fools; you can't listen to a word they say."

"How dare you! That's your uncle after all."

"I'm so glad he's my uncle, otherwise, do you think he'd still be able to run around the capital alive and kicking?"

"You dare?"

"If he dares to spout nonsense again, you'll see if I dare!"

"What are you going to do?" Madam Tian asked in alarm, as if she didn't recognize her daughter anymore.

Lan Wan'er's gaze was sharp as she stared directly at Tian Shi, and in an instant, the aura of a superior burst forth.

Not only was Tian speechless with fright, but Zhou and Yan, who were standing next to her, also instinctively avoided looking into her eyes.

After a dozen or so breaths, Lan Wan'er withdrew her gaze and her aura subsided.

Tian's breathing suddenly became heavier, and Zhou and Yan quietly straightened their backs.

"When you leave, I will arrange for Jinshu's parents, brother, and others to accompany you to the northern frontier. Her brother is a promising martial arts practitioner, so please ask your wives to tell him to take him into the army," Lan Wan'er said to the Crown Prince's wife.

"It's nothing, Liangyuan, don't worry."

"Qinghe's two older brothers are clever and have stayed in the capital to manage my dowry. I can't leave the palace, so I hope my second uncle can keep an eye on them and prevent them from getting too arrogant."

"Yes, my second uncle said the other day that he would take care of things in the capital, and that Liangyuan's private property would be carefully managed."

"Mother, let Jinshu's mother stay by your side to serve you. It will be easier to contact her if anything happens," Lan Wan'er instructed carefully.

The original owner was an innocent and carefree person with few people at her disposal. At present, she could only make the best use of the families of the two palace maids around her. She had already given them hope. If any of their descendants were able to study or practice martial arts, she would give them a future.

The two young mistresses of the Lan family exchanged a secret glance. Their sister-in-law had grown up very quickly. Even in the palace, she had made arrangements in every aspect. She had placed her own spies in the northern border and the capital. Most importantly, she didn't hide anything and just said it openly: I don't completely trust the people in my family.

"But I've never been to the northern frontier. I've heard that the winters there are bitterly cold, and people can freeze to death in no time. The spring winds can blow people into the sky. It's not a place for humans to live," Tian complained reluctantly.

"Who told you this nonsense? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians live in the northern border, and they are all doing just fine. Besides, you'll be the marshal's wife there, with servants at your beck and call. No one else will get cold, but you won't." Lan Wan'er coaxed gently.

"But,"

"Mother," Lan Wan'er interrupted her, "Father is away fighting wars. Can the family manage without someone capable of handling household affairs? Aren't you afraid that Father might take a concubine in the area?"
