Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

As the sky gradually darkened, I followed Fang Yian back to the palace. When I got on the carriage, I couldn't help but look back at He Zhao.

Most of his expression was hidden behind that jade mask, and I wasn't sure if he was worried about me.

Riding in the same carriage with Fang Yian, he seemed to be resting with his eyes closed the whole way. It was not until we were almost at the palace gate that he began to advise me, "You are a smart person. Once you enter the palace, I should not need to teach you what to do and what not to do..."

"Then what should I call you from now on?" I quickly asked the first question.

"Do you remember how Xiao Xiazi called me?"

"Godfather."

He looked at me and smiled, "You want to be my godparent so soon? I haven't decided whether to accept you or not. Just call me the steward first."

My face was slightly hot, and I felt more and more disgusted with this person. He was the kind of person who exuded the aura of a villain, with a smile on his face but cold eyes. Unfortunately, the plot I have seen did not have this person's plot at all. It only said that the emperor would die of illness, and then the ninth prince ascended the throne. Even how Prince Duan and Prince Yu lost the battle for the throne was not mentioned too much.

The Imperial Dragon Guard will probably be passed on to the next emperor in the end. Then what will be his fate as he serves as both the commander of the Imperial Dragon Guard and the chief eunuch?

"You are not allowed to have any temper in the palace, and you are not allowed to look at people like that. Even if I am watching over you, if you get into trouble, it won't be so easy to deal with. Forget the past and learn how to be a slave."

Fang Yian's voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and I subconsciously said "oh" as a response.

He chuckled with a hint of sarcasm, "You'd better stay mute and don't speak in front of others."

Just kidding, after all, I have received more than ten years of modern cultural education, worked as a social animal for several years, and watched dozens of palace fighting costume dramas. I just didn't react for a while. It's not difficult for me to pretend to be a little eunuch. At least when I played the Princess of Zhenbei before, there were no obvious loopholes.

So I knelt down at Fang Yian's feet on the spot, lowered my head, and could only see his shoes from the corner of my eye. "Thank you for your advice, Master Steward. I will pay attention in the future and will not cause any trouble!"

They say life is like a play, and it all depends on your acting skills.

After a moment's silence, I heard him laughing above my head, as if he had heard a very funny joke, and then he held my arm and helped me stand up.

"I finally understand why Xiaoliu likes you." When I said this, I was about to lift up with his strength, and he just leaned forward and almost whispered these words next to my ear.

The warm breath, low tone, and somewhat ambiguous content made me inexplicably frightened.

What the hell is this old eunuch doing? I have goose bumps all over my arms where he touched me.

Even though the eunuch's carriage had the privilege to enter the palace gate directly, he still had to get off and walk by himself when he arrived at the inner city. I followed Fang Yian to his residence first, which was very close to the emperor's bedroom and had an independent courtyard. I had also been to the palace several times, and while I was curious, I secretly compared it in my heart. This was almost as good as the treatment of a concubine of the same rank.

Fang Yian suddenly stopped walking. I was tilting my head to look to the other side, and I didn't expect him to stop. As a result, I bumped into him, hitting his shoulder blade.

Fortunately, everyone else in the yard lowered their heads at this time, so no one saw this scene. Fang Yian just glanced back at me, and continued walking forward without saying anything. I rubbed my cheek that was hurt by the collision and hurriedly followed.

Originally, Xiao Xia Zi was not going to live here, but I am not a real eunuch after all, so I was arranged to live in the side courtyard tonight.

Fang Yian already had a eunuch serving him personally, and after I was assigned here, the original eunuch was transferred to do something else. After hearing Fang Yian's arrangement, the man respectfully agreed, but when he came out, he glared at me fiercely.

"I never thought you were so capable. You became favored just by going out with your godfather. But don't be too happy too soon. It's not easy to stay with your godfather."

After that person left, I breathed a sigh of relief. If I didn't live here, I would have to go to a dormitory and sleep on a large bunk bed with other eunuchs. I thought I would be assigned to do some odd jobs, but I didn't expect that there were other people who specialized in doing odd jobs in this courtyard, and there was even a small kitchen.

I remembered that Xiao Xiazi's previous job was to serve tea, so I took the initiative to go to Fang Yian to see if he wanted some tea in the evening.

In the end, he really wanted it. I was just being polite. Normally, people would say, "It's so late. No need. Go take a rest." It seems that people should not be too hypocritical. I should just be honest and slack off.

I started to have a headache looking at the set of tea-making utensils. Was it necessary to be so particular? There were many more bottles and jars than I had seen in the palace.

"You don't know how to make tea?" Fang Yian found me staring blankly at the table.

"Yes, but I haven't seen so many things." I gave an honest smile.

He put down what he was holding, came over, and introduced to me one by one which teapots were used, which ones were used to make tea, which ones were used to divide the tea, which bowls should be used for which teas, and what steps were required. Which teas were suitable to drink at what time, what water should be used to make them, how to control the heat...

Before I knew it, I was so engrossed in listening that I had the urge to take notes.

"Can you speak slower so I can find something to remember?"

He put on that silly smile again, turned around, took a book from the shelf and handed it to me.

The words "Empty Tea" were written on the cover. While I took it and sat next to it to read it carefully, Fang Yian made tea for himself.

When I smelled the tea, I looked up and found that he had already poured two bowls of tea. So I shook the book in my hand and said, "This book records many methods of brewing and distinguishing tea. It is very suitable for beginners like me, but why is there no author's name?"

"I write it for fun in my spare time." He handed me the tea bowl.

In an instant, my perception of him changed subtly, twisted between hate and love.

The next morning, I was woken up before daybreak. The bed was too hard and I couldn't sleep well. It took me a long time to fall asleep. I was woken up just after I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found that it was dark outside and the roosters hadn't crowed. I was almost mentally collapsed and my temper was not very good.

But when he heard that I was going to the Golden Palace to receive instructions, he suddenly became much more sober.

After I had packed up and washed, I rubbed my face with cold water before I came out and followed the others. But in fact, when I arrived, there were already people waiting for the emperor. I watched the emperor get on the imperial carriage from the bedroom with my own eyes, and then followed him to the Taihe Hall of the former dynasty. We stood respectfully outside the hall and waited for the ministers to enter the hall for court.

Although I was just watching the whole process, I felt excited because I was very close to the emperor.

I had remembered to act like a human figure, just like everyone else, keeping my head down and submissive at all times, until I saw the ministers walking up the stairs out of the corner of my eye and I couldn't help but steal a few glances.
