Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book
Chapter 8: A flexible person
I thought that getting drunk and causing trouble in front of Situ Jue was just a small matter, but I didn't expect that that night, when I was about to go to bed, Nanny Ning from the Concubine Dowager's courtyard came over and said that she was bringing me a bowl of lily and lotus seed soup on behalf of the Concubine Dowager to clear my mind and nourish my stomach.
I stared at the bowl of sugar water, smiled awkwardly, and pretended not to understand what Toffee meant.
"Please thank my mother for me, I will finish the drink."
"Princess, I hope you really understand the Concubine Dowager's intentions. Although the prince sometimes has a bad temper, he is your husband after all. Please be more patient." Nanny Ning is the managing nanny in the Concubine Dowager's courtyard. She is basically the Concubine Dowager's spokesperson in the palace.
On the surface, I still pretended to be well-behaved and educated. After listening to the nanny's lecture, I let the two maids respectfully send Nanny Ning away.
But now that she's gone, I can't sleep anymore.
Aunt Zhao immediately pulled open half of the quilt I had just altered, "Princess - how can you still sleep? Why don't you think about how to apologize to the prince and admit your fault!"
I was speechless. I gritted my teeth and endured it again and again to avoid losing my character. I almost swore.
"I understand. I will reflect on it carefully. But it's already so late now. Even if I want to apologize, it will be tomorrow. Mammy, please go out first. Let me think about it carefully."
“The princess is still too young and has not experienced any major storms. Now that the prince has even said he wants to divorce her, if this gets to the ears of the concubine, your life will be difficult…” As Zhao Ma said this, she sat down directly on the low couch in front of my bed, ready for a long battle.
I opened my mouth halfway, but couldn't say anything.
Okay, do whatever you want.
I turned over and hugged the quilt tightly in my arms, ready to sleep.
Aunt Zhao started to talk beside me, saying that she had watched me grow up and would not harm me. Then she said that the servants in the palace were watching me and that if the concubine knew I looked like this, she would reprimand me. Later, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sighed, "If only the madam were still alive..."
These words seemed to have touched a certain acupoint in my body. I suddenly sat up from the bed. I didn't even realize what was happening. Anyway, I just felt that I should comfort the wet nurse.
"Mammy, don't cry. I get it. I will go to apologize to the prince tomorrow morning and ask for his forgiveness. Okay?" I said while stroking her back.
The actions and tone are extremely disconnected. Could it be that this body has been trained to have conditioned reflexes by the original owner?
"That's right. You are no longer an unmarried girl. You are the only princess in the Zhenbei Palace. You must know the big picture..." I had guessed it long ago because Nanny Zhao's face was so clean that there was no trace of tears at all.
As a result, I listened to her chattering for another half an hour, and I had to force myself to stay awake and not fall asleep in front of her.
I heard her say in a daze that the prince still had me in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have run to his yard after I got drunk, and he was too worried about me and hurt himself, so he asked the court doctor to see him in the middle of the night. So there was a lot of noise, and the concubine knew about it.
I sneered in my heart. If she knew the complete conversation between Situ Jue and I, she would definitely not be able to say these words.
In short, I promised to apologize to Situ Jue tomorrow and finally sent her away.
When I opened my eyes the next morning, the environment remained unchanged.
My anticipation has gradually faded day by day. Before I find a way to go home, I have to continue this frustrating life.
Just after breakfast, Nanny Zhao urged me to find Situ Jue and fulfill what I said last night.
"He may not be willing to see me." I held the hot tea, my butt seemed to be glued to the stool, "Why don't we talk about it in the afternoon."
Xi Que came in from outside and said, "I heard from the gatekeeper that the prince went out early in the morning. If the princess goes there now, she will not see him."
My eyes lit up, "Then I'll go to the prince's yard and wait for him to come back! As soon as he gets home, I'll apologize to him in person!"
Xi Que thought that I had changed my personality and would try every possible way to please Situ Jue like before, so she followed me happily and said, "I will go with the princess."
"No, no, I can go by myself. You guys..." I glanced around, "Help Madam with some work. Go quickly and don't be lazy!"
During the day, the roads in the palace were still very clear, so there was no chance of getting lost again.
The servants in Situ Jue's courtyard were quite respectful when they saw me coming, but after I went in and sat for a while, I felt bored and started to wander around, rummaging around. I saw from the corner of my eye that the people guarding the door tilted their heads and glanced at me once, but when I turned around, they lowered their heads very politely, as if they had not moved at all.
The strict separation of men and women in ancient times sometimes has its benefits. I have uncovered Situ Jue's lair here, and as long as the noise is not too loud, none of his people dare to come in and stay in the same room with me.
Walk through the main house and go directly into the study from the moon door. In the place where Situ Jue lives alone, all the rooms are connected to each other, which is convenient for movement.
The original owner had been to this study several times before, so as soon as I came in I could recall the layout of every detail from my memory.
I walked all the way to the bookshelf inside and began to carefully look through the records on human geography.
"Da Qi Shanhe Zhi", "Youzhou Local Records", "Qi History", "Wanbo Map"... I muttered the titles of the books while randomly picking them up and flipping through a few pages. There was really something interesting. I thought that this world was just a virtual existence to me, but I didn't expect it to behave like a real reality everywhere.
I wish I could find an exit option somewhere in a corner, press it and leave here and return to my original world.
Passing several neatly arranged bookshelves, I suddenly found an antique shelf sandwiched between two rows of bookshelves and placed against the wall.
My eyes swept from bottom to top, but the various gold and jade ornaments on the antique display cabinet did not attract my attention. Instead, a huge painting hanging on the wall behind it piqued my interest.
The canvas looks like leather and covers an entire wall. Shouldn't such a masterpiece be hung somewhere prominent? Why is it being used as wallpaper now?
In fact, if you look more closely, it is almost the same color as the wall itself, and the patterns painted on it are not very clear through the antique display cabinet.
I took two steps forward, placed one hand on the display cabinet, and reached in through the gap with the other hand to try to feel out the secret of the painting.
Unexpectedly, I pressed a mechanism casually and heard a click, followed by the sound of the mechanism turning. The antique shelf that was originally close to the wall actually turned slowly, as if it had moved sideways to make way for a passage.
I widened my eyes and sighed in my heart, I found something good this time!
