Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Chapter 15 The Prince's Thoughts

Not long after Aunt Zhao and Xi Que left my room, Xue Yan came in and reported to me, "Princess, take a look."

Wen Qiao changed into new clothes, and cleaned her previously messy greasy braids and combed them into a small bun. She smiled at me shyly, "Princess..."

"That's good. You should take care of the child more often in the future." I did not show the same special attention to Wenqiao that I showed to her outside the house just now. I sent her out first and left Xueyan to talk.

When Wenqiao left, there was no look of loss on her face. Instead, she was immersed in the joy of getting new clothes. And because I didn't assign any specific tasks for her, her overly relaxed expression made me sigh inwardly, wondering what kind of life she had been living before.

After listening to Xueyan's detailed account of the information she had collected for me over the past few days, I also began to think about my next plan.

But before I even started playing, the troublemaker jumped out.

Originally, after recuperating for ten days or so, I was almost fully recovered and the remaining poison had been cleared. Doctor Sun still asked his apprentice to deliver medicine to me every three days. Although there was a deal between him and me, in the eyes of others, it was the prince's special regard for me, which made the servants in Suxin Pavilion happy for a while.

It was almost time for Situ Jue and I to go to pay respects to the Concubine Dowager as per the monthly routine. For the first time ever, he came to my place on his own initiative and said that he would go with me the next morning, because he had to get up early and would not go back to his place.

My eyes widened, "You want to sleep here with me?"

He hummed, which was a clear response.

There was no one else around, so I didn't care about anything and asked directly, "What's wrong with you that you want to sleep here with me?"

This statement is already very mild. The fact that I haven't uttered a hundred swear words yet is already being polite to him.

Who would have thought that he would roll his eyes and squinted at me, "What are you thinking? I just said I would stay here tonight, but I didn't say I would sleep with you."

I relaxed my guard only after hearing him say that we were not sleeping in the same bed. According to the plot, I have been married to the palace for more than half a year. I don't know how they spent their wedding night. It is likely that they just perfunctorily passed it by. After that, Situ Jue has been staying in his original courtyard, and this Suxin Pavilion was left to the original body as a wedding room.

Although everyone in the palace knew that the prince was in poor health and often had some major and minor illnesses, and there was a palace doctor who took care of him all year round, so it was reasonable for him not to live with the princess, but the newlyweds had been living separately, and it was inevitable that there would be some gossip among the people below.

Magpie had complained to me several times that if the Toffee had not been nice to me and had not punished some of the servants openly or secretly, they would have probably done even more excessive things.

However, recently, Situ Jue suddenly changed his personality and often sent people or came to Suxin Pavilion in person, which reduced the gossip a lot.

So, rationally, I should agree to him staying here overnight, since we won't be sleeping in the same bed anyway, so I don't care what he thinks, but emotionally, I feel uncomfortable. He clearly knows what kind of trouble a newly married woman will encounter in the mansion due to his previous cold treatment, but he still insists on his own heart and acts willfully.

Now every bit of kindness he shows me is like a stab in the back of his original self.

As for how affectionate he is portrayed in the story and how much he loves the heroine Su Mei, just see it in the story. When you see him in front of you, you just feel that this person is really childish and selfish.

So it wasn't surprising at all when he took over my bed and instructed me to take my quilt and sleep on the narrow bed next to me.

"Why should I sleep over there? If anyone is going to sleep, it should be you! Otherwise, go back to your own yard right now!"

"How dare you!" He grabbed the pillow and threw it at me.

Although the cotton-core cloth pillow was not heavy, I still got a little irritated when he threw it directly at my face.

Seeing me glaring at him with a dark face, he laughed instead, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to pull me.

"If you think the Luohan bed is too hard, then I'll take a loss and give you half of it. You can sleep on this side." He said softly, pointing to the space he had marked out on the bed.

No matter how much you go around, you still can't get around that thing.

I sneered and pushed his hand away. "So that's what the prince was planning. What were you doing before? You didn't start to produce milk until the child was gone. You didn't realize you had snot until it fell into your mouth. You only remembered to consummate the marriage after almost a year of marriage. Why are you making up all these hypocritical excuses? You're so hypocritical!"

The smile on Situ Jue's face gradually faded. Even a good-tempered man would not be able to hold back after hearing me scolding him like that, not to mention that he was not a good-tempered man.

There's no way I can help but want to confront him.

"Shen Xingye, since you have married into the palace, you should understand what husband's authority is. What's more, your husband is not an ordinary person. If you really talk about what you said tonight, I'm afraid Shen Huaiyi will have to kneel in front of the door of my palace to apologize." He spoke in a low voice, but he used his usual authority as a superior to deliberately threaten me.

The Shen Huaiyi he mentioned is the current head of the Shen family and the uncle of the original body. Why is he so arrogant? Why doesn't he just let the old Duke come and kowtow to him? He is just a prince of a different surname, but he really thinks he is a descendant of the royal family.

After a change of mind, I gave in and sat down next to him, speaking in a much slower tone, "You are the prince, you are the most powerful, what you say is what it is, everyone has their own actions, don't take your anger out on the Shen family."

"Didn't you tell me before that you are no longer Shen Xingye? Why are you still begging for the Shen family? What does the Shen family have to do with you?" He became relentless.

"After all, I am occupying Shen Xingye's body. Ghosts also have moral values, okay?" I was talking nonsense and fooling around.

"Lonely soul? Wild ghost? Then who were you in your previous life?" He snatched the pillow that I had been holding in my hand, put it behind his back, leaned against the head of the bed, and looked at me with a smile.

"I'm afraid you'll be scared to death if I tell you. I am..." After deliberately whetting his appetite, I changed the subject and said, "The secret cannot be revealed. I won't tell you."

He immediately showed his signature contemptuous smile again, snorted, and was very disdainful of my nonsense, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

"You don't like your marriage with Shen Xingye from the bottom of your heart, because you have someone in your heart that you have been holding for more than ten years and you still can't let go. Even though she has married, she still makes you think about her all the time." I pretended to be profound and exposed his plan.

The original body was sent to the capital by her father not long ago, so she didn't know about the childhood sweethearts of Situ Jue and Su Mei, so she was determined to please this man, thinking that as long as she tried her best, she would get a response. Although Situ Jue liked Su Mei, probably because of his physical condition, he never expressed his love to her. He just accompanied her as a childhood sweetheart for a long time. It was not until she chose to marry Xu Changan that he regretted it.

But he really shouldn't have accepted the imperial decree and agreed to his marriage with Shen Xingye, and at the same time insisted on keeping a place for Su Mei in his heart, and blocked Shen Xingye completely and refused any of her kindness.

Perhaps, in his eyes, this marriage was just to please his superiors and make his mother happy. It would be good enough if he could give her the title of princess. However, he did not know that cold violence is also a kind of violence, which directly destroyed a woman's heart.

Situ Jue and I looked into each other's eyes. He looked at me with a little shock, trying to find some flaws in my expression.

He prided himself on being a cultured and restrained man, and had never revealed his feelings for Su Mei. No one should know about this, especially his nominal wife.
