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

Just as Xiao Yanchen was walking forward in a daze, he was suddenly bumped into the snow.

Upon smelling the familiar scent of soapberry, he instinctively hugged the person in his arms.

"Xiao Yanchen, I've finally found a way!"

Ji Chaoxi's eyes were shining brightly; she looked like she had just run over and was a little out of breath.

"I'll become your study companion, and then I can protect you! You don't have a study companion, do you? I see the other princes all have study companions."

She heard this from other eunuchs; they also wanted to become study companions, but the requirements were too high.

But she felt she could do it because she was smarter than them.

"Xiao Yanchen, are you listening to me? I want to be your study companion." Ji Chaoxi shook his shoulder.

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yanchen pulled her into a tight embrace. He trembled all over and didn't say a word.

Ji Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, then carefully hugged him.

Xiao Yanchen had grown taller than her at some point. She used to be a little taller than him, but now she had some difficulty hugging him.

Should she eat more?

A sudden, hot, wet sensation came from the nape of his neck. Xiao Yanchen didn't burst into tears; instead, he buried his face in her shoulder, his tears falling silently onto her clothes.

"It's okay, I'll help you once I become your study companion." Ji Chaoxi patted his shoulder awkwardly, cleared her throat, and said, "Don't be sad. When I get to the Imperial Study, they'll be the ones crying."

Xiao Yanchen was still crying, tears streaming down his face. Ji Chaoxi sighed and rubbed his head.

Xiao Yanchen suddenly paused, then moved away from Ji Chaoxi's shoulder and looked at her with teary eyes.

Ji Chaoxi looked at him blankly: "Why did you stop crying?"

Xiao Yanchen silently wiped away his tears and buried his head in her hands.

Ji Chaoxi rubbed it again, completely bewildered.

The two walked forward hand in hand. Xiao Yanchen didn't know where they were going; he just followed Ji Chaoxi.

"Then we can go to the Imperial Study together. Maybe I can become a scholar in the future." Ji Chaoxi was very excited about going to the Imperial Study.

Xiao Yanchen whispered, "Little Xizi, how about I teach you to read? The Imperial Study is extremely dangerous, I don't want to..."

Ji Chaoxi tugged at the fur collar around her neck, her eyes shining: "There will also be riding and archery lessons later, don't worry, I can definitely protect you."

Without saying a word, Xiao Yanchen tightened the fur collar around her neck.

"Xiao Xizi, it's not necessarily true that you might like horseback riding..."

Ji Chaoxi looked a little aggrieved: "I just asked Eunuch Liu, and I wanted him to help me, but he rolled his eyes at me."

Xiao Yanchen breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of joy on his face: "Little Xizi, Eunuch Liu was just worried about you, so..."

Ji Chaoxi looked at him smugly: "Then let's go find Sister Xiaohe now. She will definitely help me because she likes me."

Xiao Yanchen's mind went blank for a moment. He anxiously advised her, "Xiao Xizi, you can't go to the Imperial Study. The tutors and the Emperor there are both extremely frightening."

Ji Chaoxi looked at him, her eyes gradually turning red.

Xiao Yanchen panicked immediately: "I...I won't say anything more, Xiao Xizi."

The next second, Ji Chaoxi happily took Xiao Yanchen's hand and went to find Xiao He.

Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps came from not far away. The eunuchs' faces were filled with fear and despair as they ran forward carrying a person in their arms.

"Hurry, hurry!"

"It's too fast, give me a hand, it's about to slide down."

They had originally gone to Consort Shu and the tutor to plead for the Third Prince, but when they returned to the Imperial Study, the Third Prince was gone.

They searched for a long time before finally finding the Third Prince in the water. By the time they found him, he had completely lost consciousness.

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't all gone to find Consort Shu, this wouldn't have happened."

"Alright, alright, now's not the time to talk about this!"

The lead eunuch trembled with rage. He lowered his voice and said, "What kind of time is this for arguing? If the Third Prince doesn't wake up, we're all dead!"

Ji Chaoxi watched this scene curiously from a corner.

Xiao Yanchen watched silently, a hint of surprise on his face.

The news of the Third Prince falling into the icy water quickly reached the ears of the Imperial Concubine.

The imperial concubine was overjoyed in her palace and mocked, "Being that fat, it's no wonder she fell down."

Xiao He gently pinched a grape and brought it to the Imperial Concubine's lips, smiling as she said, "Your Highness has been so happy lately, but I never expected you to be in trouble today."

The Imperial Concubine snorted coldly. Ever since that incident, the Emperor had harbored some resentment towards her. Consort Shu somehow found out about it and kept hovering around the Emperor.

She wanted to see if Consort Shu would still have time to seduce the Emperor after the Third Prince had fallen into the icy water.

In this freezing weather, it would be best to freeze to death.

The red lanterns swayed in the wind, the snow never stopped, and the cold air kept trying to get into my collar.

Ji Chaoxi's breath was cold as she brushed aside the snow-covered leaves, staring intently at the palace gate.

When will Sister Xiaohe finally come out?

Xiao Yanchen stood beside her, his face red from the cold, and whispered, "Little Xizi..."

"I won't listen!"

Xiao Yanchen glanced at her, said nothing, and moved closer to her.

Finally, a familiar figure opened the palace gates.

Ji Chaoxi's eyes lit up, and she immediately rushed over and hugged her: "Sister Xiaohe!"

Xiao He was knocked back a few steps by her. She looked a little surprised, but quickly realized what was happening and pinched her face.

"Xiao Xizi, don't bump into me like that next time."

Seeing Ji Chaoxi's expectant look, Xiao He squatted down and said, "Come find me if you need anything, otherwise don't."

Ji Chaoxi looked at her and said dryly, "Sister Xiaohe, I'll come to see you whenever I have free time."

Xiao He slipped some food into her pocket and said with a smile, "So what's up? You came all this way so late."

"Sister Xiaohe, I want to be Prince Xiao's... Seventh Prince's study companion. Could you please speak to the Imperial Concubine for me?" Ji Chaoxi nestled in Xiaohe's arms and rubbed against her.

Xiao He stroked her head, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Why did Xiao Xizi suddenly want to become the Seventh Prince's study companion?

"Because I want to be the first eunuch!" Ji Chaoxi said earnestly.

"Sister Xiaohe, they all say that the eunuchs in the Laundry Bureau are the worst, and the eunuchs in the Cautious Punishment Department are the least likable, so I want to become a companion eunuch and go to the Imperial Study."

Xiao He didn't say anything. She could tell from the way his eyes were darting around that he was lying to her again.

"Sister Xiaohe, aren't you the one who loves Xiaoxi the most?" Ji Chaoxi said, choking back tears.

Xiao He watched her cry for a long time without shedding a single tear and sighed.

"Alright, I'll go ask Her Majesty now. You wait for me at the door."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaohe!"
