Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Suddenly, Situ Jue coughed twice beside me, and then I realized that I had to follow everyone and salute.

The prayer ceremony was not very long and ended just like that.

After paying homage to the mountain god, they prepared to start hunting. Everyone set out for the entrance of the hunting ground one after another, and the servants had already prepared the horses.

I subconsciously followed the crowd and walked over there. Situ Jue stopped and said, "Don't go up there. You don't know how to ride a horse. A wild beast in the mountains might take you away and you'll cry."

"Are there really wild beasts?" I didn't believe it.

"Look, your husband is going to catch a wild boar for you." He smiled and reached out his hand to scratch the tip of my nose.

"The Prince of Zhenbei and his princess are so loving, I am a little envious and want to marry a wife as soon as possible." The person who spoke was Prince Yu.

His voice was particularly loud, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people around him.

Situ Jue laughed and walked up to him and joked with him.

I saw Xu Changan and Su Mei walking hand in hand not far away. Su Mei was dressed in riding clothes and seemed to be going on the race. Because we were quite far away, Su Mei saw me and waved to me with a smile.

I responded in the same way, and couldn't help but turn my head to glance at Situ Jue. How many of those intimate actions he deliberately did in front of others did he want Su Mei to see?

There were also many women who, like me, could not hunt and were just here to join in the fun. They would stay in the palace to drink tea and chat, or do other things to kill time. Situ Jue arranged for me to play with people, and even deliberately showed off our affection in front of others, and then he could not wait to go to the hunting ground.

I've already left the palace, how can I stay indoors and drink tea and chat?

After listening to the horn and horse hoofbeats sound gradually fading away outside, I patiently sat with the ladies for a while, then left the table, saying that I had drunk too much tea and had to change my clothes.

After I came out, Xueyan followed me, "Where are you going, Princess?"

"Let's go for a walk in the mountains." I pointed in the direction of the hunting ground.

"Will there be any danger? The prince said there are wild beasts on the mountain."

"He's lying. The wild animals in the hunting grounds were released in advance. There won't be any particularly fierce or large ones. If they hurt the emperor, they won't have enough heads to chop off. Look at the guards outside the palace. The whole mountain is fenced off. There are palace servants and guards patrolling everywhere on the mountain road. There won't be any danger."

Xueyan nodded as if she understood, but she just did what I said and was very obedient.

We followed the path, avoiding the patrolling guards, and headed up the mountain.

Along the way, I couldn't help but sigh that the scenery here is really nice. I wonder if I can climb to the top of the mountain. I really want to take pictures.

If Xi Que was here, she would definitely not be able to help but ask what taking pictures was. Fortunately, Xueyan doesn't like to talk much, and she won't speak unless it is necessary.

As I was walking, I saw colorful strips of cloth on the branches and realized that we had entered the hunting area. When I was about to call Xueyan to turn back, Xueyan pulled me and hid behind the bushes on the side.

"Someone is coming." She told me the news silently and signaled me not to make any sound.

Wandering around in the hunting area and bumping into others or scaring prey are no big deal. But if an ignorant prince mistakes us for prey and kills us with one arrow, it cannot be considered the other party's fault.

I knew the seriousness of the situation, so I cooperated and hid quietly.

But the people over there seemed to have noticed the movement and walked towards where we were hiding.

Seeing that we were about to be discovered, Xueyan suddenly had an idea. She held me down, then stood up and showed herself to the other party, which in turn scared them.

"Ah! Who? Who?"

"I am the maid of the King of Zhenbei. I followed my master to the hunting ground, but I got lost by mistake and am now trying to find my way back to the palace. I wonder if this guard knows the direction?" Xueyan explained fluently in one breath.

The other party was relieved, "Are you from Zhenbei Palace? Do you have proof?"

Xueyan honestly showed the palace token, and the other party verified it before speaking, "Don't walk around randomly when you come to the hunting ground! If you startle the noble, you may lose your life at any time! Go straight in that direction, and when you come to a fork in the road, go west, and you will be back to the palace in a short time."

"W?" Xueyan pretended to be confused.

The guard on the opposite side was also kind-hearted. He sighed and took her away.

I was hiding in a secluded place and didn't make any sound, so he ignored me.

When Xueyan led her people away, she gestured to me from behind, indicating that I should find a chance to leave and not be discovered.

I climbed out after they were far away. I didn't notice that the hem of my skirt was scratched by the splinter. As I stood up, there was a hissing sound and the satin material was torn into a big hole.

Although I deliberately chose a short skirt before going out, I still encountered this situation. It seems that I have to prepare riding clothes like Su Mei. In this era, it is a bit troublesome for women to travel with daily clothes. Therefore, those wealthy ladies rarely go out, and they don’t do strenuous exercise at home. No matter how long the skirt is, it won’t affect them.

I stared at the skirt with my eyes downcast, feeling a little angry. I simply tore off all the torn fabric and changed the skirt into a knee-length skirt. Anyway, there were spare clothes in the carriage on the way up the mountain. I just needed to change before going back. There was no one in the mountains, so I shouldn't be too much of a look.

Walking in the opposite direction of the hunting area, I suddenly realized that the road I came from seemed a little unrecognizable. The path was originally trampled out by people. Although the royal hunting grounds usually do not allow civilians to enter casually, but with such a large mountain, occasionally civilians come to chop wood or collect herbs, and they don't have to pass through the checkpoints guarded by the soldiers, so there are still traces of people.

I wanted to determine the direction by the sky, but I looked up and saw the dense forest and leaves above my head, so I could hardly see the sky. I had no choice but to keep moving forward.

As I was walking, I was suddenly knocked to the ground by someone behind me.

The fallen leaves were piled up in layers, and the soil underneath was not solid because of the accumulation of rotten leaves. Instead, it was a bit soft and gave off the smell of rotting plants. They hit me in the face hard. I was so angry that I wanted to resist, but someone reached out from behind and covered my mouth, preventing me from making any sound.

I couldn't see the other person, but I could feel a man's hand. I wanted to struggle, but my body was pressed down so hard by the other person that I couldn't move.

It was not until the other person lifted my neck a little and let me look at what was in front of me that I could see clearly that just a few feet away, there was a white tiger napping under a tree.

I was a little confused when I first saw such a huge beast, but then I suddenly remembered that Situ Jue also kept a white tiger in his animal house. When I looked more closely, although this white tiger was very large, it should not be an adult.

At this moment, I finally reacted and turned to look at the person who had just knocked me down. The face was both strange and familiar.

I patted his arm, motioning him to let go, and he let go.

I whispered to confirm, "Jia Liu?"
