Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Lin House.

"Father, the Emperor praised A-Wan at the morning court today, saying she set an example for the harem, but then he ordered the governor to take away our family's sacrificial fields!" The man's face turned ashen.

The old prime minister's face was full of irritation: "The more the emperor favors Awan, the more the general hates us. The emperor is trying to reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

Mentioning Lin Wanzhu in the palace, the man sighed: "Wanzhu sent a message back today, foolishly saying that the Emperor praised you as a pillar of the nation and even wanted to help me get a position as the chief examiner."

The old prime minister said in a heavy tone: "Reply to her and say that everything is fine at home. With A-Wan's personality, if she knew that the emperor only had designs on her, her heart would break immediately."

The man hesitated, then said, "But what about the General..."

The old prime minister's tone suddenly turned cold: "So we have to hold on. As long as the Lin family doesn't fall, A-Wan will be the imperial concubine."

"Tell Xiaohe to tell Awan to stop interfering in the former empress's affairs."

"Yes."

The palace was shrouded in a thin mist in the early morning, and the roof tiles were covered with a thick layer of snow.

Eunuch Liu carried the palace silk, preparing to register it in the storeroom. As he walked, he glanced at the dejected figure beside him.

Ji Chaoxi couldn't stop yawning.

"Watch your step," Liu Gonggong muttered under his breath.

Ji Chaoxi pouted, looking aggrieved.

Just as I was lecturing them, a burst of laughter suddenly came from around the corner ahead.

A prince walked in surrounded by a large retinue, his eyes filled with arrogance.

The eunuch beside him bowed and kept telling jokes, trying to make the second prince happy.

The Second Prince's gaze swept casually across the room and happened to fall on Ji Chaoxi, who was following behind Eunuch Liu.

She was dressed in coarse cloth, carrying fabric in her hands, and her face was covered in charcoal ash, but the Second Prince found her nimbleness particularly striking in the courtyard.

"stop."

The second prince spoke slowly and deliberately, standing between the two.

Eunuch Liu was stunned for a moment, but reacted very quickly and immediately knelt down: "May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and peace."

The Second Prince ignored Eunuch Liu and circled Ji Chaoxi halfway around with interest, holding a fan handle in his hand: "Eunuch Liu, you little eunuch, why do you look like a woman?"

Ji Chaoxi met Liu Gonggong's gaze, obediently lowered her head, and remained silent.

The best thing to do at this point is to shut up!

The second prince leaned down: "What's your name?"

Eunuch Liu's heart was in his throat. He suddenly took half a step forward, shielding Ji Chaoxi behind him: "Your Highness, this little brat is called Xiao Xizi. She's a jinx. Her parents died young, all because of her. This jade fan of yours was a gift from the Emperor. Don't let this unlucky thing tarnish it."

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince's expression immediately changed: "Eunuch Liu, you should keep such filthy people away from this path. You're really spoiling my mood."

"Yes, yes, yes, this old servant is confused. This old servant will take this jinx far away right now!"

Eunuch Liu quickly led Ji Chaoxi away.

The Second Prince frowned as he watched Ji Chaoxi's retreating figure, lost in thought.

Just then, the Third Prince came running over, wailing loudly. His clothes were torn in a large hole, and his face was covered in mud. Xiao Shunzi was beside him, looking extremely angry.

The second prince was almost bumped into by him and took a few steps back. He looked at the third prince's back with disdain.

Soon, the news that the Third Prince had bullied Xiao Yanchen but had been beaten up instead spread throughout the entire palace. After all, it was hard for anyone not to know that the Third Prince had run away crying all the way.

When the Imperial Concubine learned of this, she was overjoyed and laughed until tears streamed down her face.

"Was the Third Prince really beaten by Xiao Yanchen?"

The Imperial Concubine wore a gloating expression, her hair ornaments trembling wildly: "The Third Prince usually relies on his maternal family's meager achievements and doesn't even put me in his eyes. I never expected that he would be beaten by Xiao Yanchen."

The thought of the Third Prince's disheveled appearance brought a smile to the Consort's face.

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and her eyes gleamed with mischief: "Xiao He, has Xiao Yanchen not gone to the Imperial Study yet?"

Xiao He paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Imperial Concubine put down her teacup and raised an eyebrow: "Xiao Yanchen is old enough to go to the Imperial Study. He can't just keep hiding in his gloomy palace. He doesn't know a single character. Wouldn't that make him a laughingstock?"

The imperial concubine stood up excitedly: "Let's go, bring the osmanthus cake with us."

"Let's go to the Imperial Study to see the Emperor. Xiao Yanchen should also go to the Imperial Study to learn something."

She wanted to see how Xiao Yanchen would fight with the Third Prince when he arrived at the Imperial Study.

She loves watching these dog-eat-dog dramas.

Today, the sun finally came out a bit, and Ruhui Palace was no longer as gloomy and cold as usual; instead, it felt warm.

Ji Chaoxi was eating, her cheeks puffing out.

She had rushed over; her braids were a bit messy, and a few strands of hair had fallen down, looking somewhat fuzzy in the sunlight.

Xiao Yanchen sat beside her, his eyes fixed on her hair, feeling a tickle in his heart.

"Xiao Xizi, let me braid your hair again." His eyes sparkled.

Seeing Ji Chaoxi nod, Xiao Yanchen was even happier. He stood behind Ji Chaoxi and carefully tucked the stray hairs on her cheek behind her ear.

He didn't actually know how to comb hair, but he just wanted to touch her hair. He carefully divided her hair into three strands, his movements incredibly clumsy.

He wanted to braid Xiao Xizi's hair into the prettiest braid, but his hands wouldn't obey him, and in the end, he ended up with a crooked braid.

Xiao Yanchen glanced at Ji Chaoxi, who was still eating, and felt a little guilty. He was about to take off his braid.

Ji Chaoxi sensed something was wrong. She quickly went to the basin and looked at her reflection. When she saw herself in the water, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"How ugly! You did it on purpose!"

She's completely lost face!

When Xiao Yanchen saw her eyes redden, he panicked instantly, his face turning bright red, and he followed behind her helplessly.

"Xiao Xizi, don't be angry. I didn't mean to. I'll rewrite it now, and I'll definitely do a good job this time..."

Ji Chaoxi snorted and sat back down: "If you make this up again, I'll beat you up."

She's getting more and more adept at bullying Xiao Yanchen.

Xiao Yanchen responded with a wronged tone and started braiding Ji Chaoxi's hair again.

Strands of hair tangled in her hands, and Xiao Yanchen's nose was filled with the scent of soap from her hair. His previous grievances vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Xiao Yanchen carefully stroked Ji Chaoxi's hair, clumsily but attentively, so nervous that he unconsciously held his breath.

The sunlight outside shone on the two of them, and Xiao Yanchen felt warm all over.

He suddenly thought that if he could keep making up stories like this, it wouldn't matter if Xiao Xizi beat him up.
