Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

When Xi Que heard me ask this, her eyes immediately dodged and she didn't dare to look at me. "Who told you, Princess? I didn't do anything wrong last night. I just thought about my brother's illness and felt a little sad."

"Then do you want to go home to visit? I'll grant you leave." I stared at her expression and said slowly.

"No need for that. My younger brother is at home and is being taken care of by our parents. It is my duty to stay with the princess and do my own thing." In a few breaths, she swept away her previous panic and turned back into the girl who had a smile on her face all day long.

"Come and sit down, I want to talk to you." I gestured to the seat next to me with my eyes.

Xi Que grew up with the original body. When they were young, they were as close as sisters in the Shen Mansion. They slept together every night, with their heads against each other and their feet against each other, and they could talk about almost anything.

After I came into contact with the original body's memories, I also felt that there was a deep relationship between the two of them. Logically speaking, Xi Que should not have helped Nanny Zhao to deceive the original body.

But feelings are something illusory, and it is hard to say for sure or to see through them if you base your decision on feelings.

Xi Que didn't think much about it. In the past, when her young lady was in a good mood, she would occasionally ignore the master-servant rules, so she sat down beside me as I asked.

"Do you really want to be Situ Jue's concubine?" Although I lowered my voice, after I asked this, Xi Que was still startled and immediately jumped up from her seat.

I held her hand and asked her to sit back down. "There's no one else here. I just want to ask you what you really think deep down in your heart. Do you really like Situ Jue?"

Xi Que's expression became hesitant, and she seemed a little shy. "The prince is naturally good, but..."

Seeing her like this, I stopped asking.

Presumably, when she was a dowry maid, these ideas might have been planted in her mind by others. No matter whether she was willing to help her mistress to win over the head of the family, or she really had feelings for Situ Jue, once the idea took root, she would no longer be affected by the outside world and would grow up slowly.

The monthly salary of a maid in the palace is much higher than what an ordinary family can earn in a month, not to mention the concubine of the prince. Although Situ Jue is a king of a different surname and is still separated from the real royal family, the title is there after all. Even if he has a bad temper, he is still attractive to an ignorant girl like Xi Que.

In that case, I will no longer worry about others.

In a few days, I will go to Xu's house to celebrate his birthday.

Situ Jue came to Suxin Pavilion early to wait, saying that he would go with me, fearing that I would think too much, and added that it was the concubine who asked him to take good care of me. I took Xi Que and Xue Yan with me.

When I came out from the inner room after getting dressed, I met Situ Jue's slightly surprised gaze.

Before going out, I put on my makeup, using modern makeup techniques that I am skilled at, and a slightly thicker daily makeup. My original appearance was not very beautiful, to put it nicely, I had delicate features, to put it bluntly, I had dull features, and I rarely went outdoors, so my skin was pale, like a patient.

After all, I have been a travel blogger for several years, so I don’t need to be too skilled in doing my own makeup.

Situ Jue stared at me for a long time without saying anything, but his ears turned red in a suspicious way.

"You can go now." I don't know what he was imagining, but I didn't dress like this for him today.

We set off for Xu's house in the same carriage.

This carriage is Situ Jue's own private one. It is low-key on the outside but luxurious on the inside. The seat cushions are laid out in several layers. I resisted the urge to open it and study it in front of him because of my curiosity.

Along the way, neither of us spoke. When we were about to reach Xu's residence, he suddenly reached out and held my hand on my knee. "Su Mei and I, that's all in the past. No matter what you heard, you don't have to care about it."

Huh? I rolled my eyes inwardly. What did he mean by that? He wanted both?

I didn't want to guess what he was hinting at, so I just said "hmm" perfunctorily.

After the carriage stopped, he got off first. When I came out, he stood by the carriage, blocking the servants who were ready to serve him, and stretched out his hand to me.

I lifted my skirt and jumped directly off the car. At this height, I didn't need anyone to help me.

He chuckled, withdrew his hand, and followed me in.

After arriving at the front yard, male and female guests were seated separately, so there were different reception locations. Situ Jue and I parted ways and were led by the servants of the Xu Mansion to the flower hall on the other side.

There were already quite a few women sitting there. I took a quick look and saw that most of them were older ladies. The few younger ones probably just came to accompany their families.

The original body was sixteen when she married into the palace. Her birthday was in winter, and she would be seventeen in two months. She was young and looked younger. Considering the occasion like today, heavy makeup would not be out of place and would also make her look older.

Because of my title as princess, when I came in, many ladies stood up and saluted me. Even the hostess Su Mei came forward to greet me personally.

After I returned the greetings one by one, I was led to the seat of honor and sat next to Su Mei.

Su Mei is two years older than me, with her hair in a bun. Although she looks young and immature, her aura is steady. After all, her mental age is that of someone who has lived a lifetime.

According to the original book, Su Mei married a lone and talented man in her previous life. As a result, he failed in officialdom and offended people without knowing it. He was demoted and imprisoned. In the end, Su Mei spent all her dowry to get him out. The love between husband and wife gradually wore away in the daily life. The husband wanted to return to officialdom, and put all the burden of daily life on Su Mei without considering her feelings.

However, he was able to get his official position again in the end, but he began to dislike Su Mei, who had become a shrew because of her management of the household, and instead hooked up with prostitutes in the brothel.

The book does not describe in much detail her experiences in her first life, as they are interspersed among Su Mei's memories.

After her rebirth, the first thing she did was to avoid her original path and stay away from her husband in her previous life. When she was choosing a husband for herself, she also thought of Situ Jue, but after weighing the pros and cons, she gave up on this candidate.

Su Mei has always known that Situ Jue likes her, but it is obvious that she would never choose him in both lives.

But to be honest, Su Mei is really good-looking. If she were in modern times, she would definitely be a top-tier female star. This face is 360 degrees perfect. Not to mention that men will be moved when they see it, even I can't help but praise her as a beautiful sister several times in my heart.

Perhaps my gaze was too direct, Su Mei turned her head to look at me, "Is there something on my face? The princess seems to be staring at me."

The way she smiles and whispers is even more amazing.

I immediately retracted my gaze from admiring the beauty and smiled sheepishly, "Mrs. Xu, you misunderstood. It's just that I saw Mrs. Xu in person for the first time today, and that's why I couldn't help but admire her title of the most beautiful woman in the capital. She really deserves it."
