Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Chapter 69 Flower Appreciation Banquet

Fortunately, Situ Jue reacted quickly and stood up to block it for me. He Zhao's body swayed twice, but then he stabilized himself. Then he slowly stepped out of the line and saluted to the queen who was sitting on the throne.

"Please forgive me, Queen. This imperial wine is really fragrant. I was greedy for a moment and was disrespectful."

Before the Queen said anything, several of his fellow soldiers at the banquet laughed and spoke for him, "Don't blame me, Queen. He Zhao has always had a low alcohol tolerance. In the past, he would get drunk easily after just one glass of wine in the camp. We all laughed at him privately for not being able to appreciate wine."

"No one is an outsider at this flower viewing banquet, so no one will dare to laugh at you." The queen said and instructed the palace servants beside her, "Have someone change He Qing's drink to Wei Yu Chun Tea. He has a low alcohol tolerance, so don't let him drink too much, otherwise he will really get drunk in the imperial garden and His Majesty will blame me."

Everyone started laughing, and He Zhao laughed too. "The Queen just said that people should not laugh at me anymore, but why are you starting to make fun of me again? If my future wife hears this, she will definitely think I am useless, and my marriage will be ruined."

The queen curved her eyes and waved towards the female guest area, "Yanyun, come here, tell me yourself, are you satisfied with the husband I chose for you?"

Princess Yanyun slowly stood up under the attention of the whole audience.

If Su Mei is the kind of bright and beautiful girl with no blind spots, then Princess Yanyun's beauty is the kind of aggressive and ostentatious beauty.

She was the only female guest in the audience who wore a bright red cheongsam and a silver silk shawl embellished with sparkling beads. Even though she sat there without saying a word, it was hard to ignore her radiance.

There were few people in the capital who didn't know about her blatant pursuit of Xu Changan. Even though Xu Changan had been married to Su Mei for almost two years, it did not dampen her enthusiasm.

This time, the queen ordered the love song, and many people stared at her.

Although Princess Yanyun seemed to be a few years older than He Zhao, if He Zhao could marry the princess, it would be considered as marrying up. So he looked at Princess Yanyun with a happy face, but the woman never looked at him straight in the eye.

However, for the Queen to openly match the two of them in such a public setting, she must have communicated with both parties in advance, otherwise Princess Pingyang would not have looked at her daughter with such expectation.

"Thank you, aunt. I will give General Xiao He some consideration." Princess Yanyun saluted the queen and sat back in her seat.

Princess Pingyang seemed a little unhappy and turned her head to whisper something to her.

The Queen was not surprised by Princess Yanyun's ambiguous answer. Instead, she smiled and told He Zhao to find more opportunities to show off in front of the Princess. He Zhao bowed again before sitting down again.

As soon as he sat back down, people on both sides started to jeer at him, "Even Jade-faced Yama can be afraid sometimes. The Queen has made the decision for you, so why don't you dare to say a few more words to the Princess?"

"I heard that the princess is good at riding and shooting. She is very skilled. During the last autumn hunting, she hunted a deer by herself. Brother He, you are so lucky!"

He Zhao turned the cup in his hand, and seemed to drink up the remaining wine in it before he chuckled, "No matter how good your skills are, after we turn off the lights and go to bed, you still have to let us men do whatever we want..."

"Hey! Brother He, you are very drunk. You don't even consider the occasion. How can you say such obscene words!"

"Ahahaha, Brother He is really just as the rumors say, he is not good at drinking. Come, take away General He's wine jug and wine cup! Change the tea! Change the tea!"

Fortunately, the people around were talking about their own things, so their outrageous conversation did not reach the Queen's ears.

I frowned, feeling that my ears were dirty. I looked up and saw the ladies sitting opposite me. They were all pretty ladies, laughing and talking happily. They must have been talking about some relaxing family matters. Why should I sit here and listen to those people behind me going crazy?

"What are you going to do?" When Situ Jue pulled my sleeve, I realized that I had stood up. I couldn't help but want to leave here. My body reacted before my brain.

"Go change your clothes!" I made up an excuse and left the table.

I had just taken a few steps when a palace maid came up to me, bowed respectfully and said she would lead the way for me.

I followed her for a while, until I could no longer hear the sounds from the flower viewing party clearly, then I spoke, "Thank you, young lady. I suddenly don't want to change clothes anymore. I feel a little stuffy, so I'll just take a breath of fresh air nearby and then go back."

The other party seemed to think about it and pointed to a place not far ahead. "There is a pavilion over there. If Princess Zhenbei doesn't mind, you can go sit in the pavilion. I will be waiting by the side."

The service was quite thoughtful. I thanked her and accepted her suggestion and sat in the pavilion.

It was an early spring afternoon, the sun was warm, and the temperature was neither hot nor cold. There were no flowers to be seen in this area, but one could still smell the fragrance from the nearby flower beds.

I gradually put aside the troubles that disturbed my mind, leaned against the railing, closed my eyes and rested.

I don’t know how long it was before a woman’s voice woke me up.

"Are you the Princess of Zhenbei? The one from the Shen family?"

When I opened my eyes, I saw Princess Yanyun standing in front of me. I was startled and quickly stood up and bowed.

But she was arrogant and didn't return the greeting. Instead, she looked at me with contempt, "You are indeed from a small family and have a petty mind."

If the Duke's Mansion is composed of small families, then this sister probably can't find any big family except the royal family.

No, I have no connection with her. What does it mean that she comes to my house to quarrel with me?

"If the princess has no other instructions, I will go back." As I said this, I was about to walk out of the pavilion.

"Stop! Are you allowed to leave?" She walked around in front of me and blocked my way.

I looked at her in confusion, waiting for her next words.

"You have a good relationship with Su Mei? Ask her out for me!"

"If the princess wants to make friends, why doesn't she go and make appointments herself?" I knew she definitely didn't have any good intentions, and I didn't intend to do anything for her.

"I heard that you escaped death from a fire during the Lantern Festival..." Princess Yanyun smiled provocatively, "How dare you contradict me? It seems that your good fortune ends here."

As she spoke, she stepped back, and two sturdy guards jumped out from behind her and rushed towards me.

I didn't even have time to react before one of them held my shoulders and another covered my mouth.

This is in the imperial palace. Even if she is the emperor's niece, I at least have the title of princess. How dare she do that?

Oh, she really dares.

The feeling of suffocation made my consciousness gradually blurred. Before I fainted, I was still thinking, is the fate of the supporting role Shen Xingye over? What kind of vicious female supporting role script did Princess Yanyun have? Why did she attack me, a passerby who had nothing to do with her?

This story doesn't make sense at all! There is absolutely no logic!
