Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

I cursed in my heart at that time, but there was nothing I could do. As a small eunuch in the palace, anyone could order you around. Not to mention the order from the princess herself, even the princess's personal maid couldn't refuse.

I had no choice but to carry the food box and follow her, and then we were led to the edge of a pond.

A kite was floating quietly on the water, half of it soaked in water and showing a tendency to sink.

"Hurry up!" Princess Fu Rou urged.

Judging from the appearance, the kite is a bit far from the shore, and it is difficult to pick it up without going into the water, but this seems to be a lotus pond, the water depth is unknown and there must be a lot of silt at the bottom, and I don’t want to go into the water.

"Princess, even if we pick up the kite, it's soaked. Why not throw it away?" Before Princess Furou burst into tears, I quickly added, "I'll make you something else that's more interesting than the kite. Okay?"

Fu Rou seemed to be interested, so I took the opportunity to carry the food box in one hand and the little princess in the other, and walked away from the pond towards the pavilion on the other side.

When we got to the pavilion, I took it upon myself to give her a piece of the snack in the food box. Then I folded a paper frog for her and demonstrated how to play with it. I sang nursery rhymes with the little frog and finally coaxed the princess into submission.

After a while, I heard someone shouting in the distance, "Princess Fu Rou, where is Her Royal Highness?" I knew that the palace maid who was looking for her had come, so I planned to get up and say goodbye to the princess and continue to complete my task.

Unexpectedly, Princess Furou grabbed my sleeve and wouldn't let me go. "Can you fold anything else?"

I can, but I'm really busy right now, so I can't satisfy her so easily. So I put on a smile and said, "This is all I know. If the princess wants something more interesting, I'll fold it for her after I learn it. Why don't you think about what you like and want the most first... I'll take my leave now."

After all, she was still a child. After I diverted her attention with a few words, and she also heard the voices of the people looking for her, she stopped bothering me.

I picked up the food box and followed the direction I remembered. On the way, I asked the patrolling guards for directions. By the time I arrived, the eunuchs who had delivered the food had already completed their mission and returned.

Fortunately, my box contains snacks, not hot dishes, so it won’t become unpalatable because I took time to deliver it.

I stood in the corridor and explained to the eunuch in charge why I was late. When he heard that it was because of Princess Furou and that I was working in front of the emperor, he didn't intend to pursue anything. However, the young man in brocade clothes heard our conversation, came over, and sneered, "You servant, you are obviously lazy, but you dare to shirk responsibility and make up lies, involving Princess Furou. The emperor just asked you to deliver a dish. If you can't do such a small thing, what use are you?"

I couldn't help but look up and glance at him. This boy looked only about 11 or 12 years old. His voice was still a little childish, but his mind was like an adult, blocking all my excuses. Even the eunuch in charge couldn't fool around, so he had to bow and flatter him, "Your Highness is right. This servant is indeed incompetent and deserves a lesson!"

"You not only don't bow when you see me, but you also dare to look me straight in the eye. Come here, slap me in the face twenty times first!" The other party gave the order very familiarly. As soon as he finished speaking, two people came over and held me down, making me kneel on the gravel ground in the middle of the yard.

I heard someone approach the young man and whispered, "Prince, he is a man in the imperial court after all. It's not a good idea for us to treat him like this, right?"

"What's wrong with the imperial court? If he makes a mistake, can't I punish him? I am the grandson of the emperor, don't I have the right to do so?"

After getting the master's second confirmation, the other party stopped talking. Then a sturdy eunuch walked up to me and slapped me left and right. After just two slaps, I immediately saw stars and my head was buzzing.

It seems that the life I lived in the past was indeed too easy. I have never experienced any pain of ordinary people at the bottom of feudal society being beaten and killed at will by the powerful.

A salty and fishy taste suddenly came out of my mouth. I was so dizzy from the fight that my vision became blurred. I only heard a familiar voice trying to stop them, "Stop! Stop hitting me!"

The rest of the people saluted to the voice, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince..."

Even the arrogant prince at the beginning had to bow his head, "Uncle Jiu, I am just teaching a servant who doesn't know the rules a lesson, are you going to stop me?"

"He looks young, so this should be his first offense. You've already been punished, so let's just leave it at that."

I could only see a vague figure, but I have confirmed that it was the Ninth Prince Jiang Kang. He could speak for a eunuch he had never met, even if it would make his nephew unhappy. That prince should be one of Prince Duan's sons. As the grandson of the emperor, he was highly regarded. Although Prince Duan does not have the title of prince now, this child should have a high status in the emperor's mind. Just look at the people around him.

People in the palace are used to sensing which way the wind is blowing and will tend to move closer to whoever is in power. On the other hand, the Ninth Prince Jiang Kang only brought a servant with him, which made him look much weaker.

"Since Uncle Jiu has pleaded for this bastard, I can't not give Uncle Jiu face." With a clang, the food box I was responsible for delivering was overturned to the ground, and a plate of snacks rolled out. The prince kicked each snack one by one, crushing them, and then had someone pick them up and bring them to me.

"Hey, eat all this imperial food and I'll let you go!"

Except for the first few that were just crushed and dirty, the ones behind were deliberately mixed with the dirt and sand on the ground by the people who cleaned them up. Even if Jiang Kang wanted to exonerate me, he couldn't say anything more at this time. The prince had already let me off. So he took the book boy back to the house.

"Eat quickly! This is a reward from the prince!" the people around them cheered.

I picked up a piece and just as I was about to open my mouth, I found that my mouth hurt so much. I had just been slapped twice, and not only were my lips broken, but my cheeks seemed to be swollen. It was as if I had swallowed hundreds of chili peppers, and it was burning hot. Not to mention eating, it was uncomfortable to move.

Physiological tears fell uncontrollably, and it hurt even more when they brushed across my lips.

The prince, who was watching the show, saw that I had not put the dirty snacks into my mouth, and impatiently asked his follower to come over and roughly stuff the snacks into my mouth. After the man stuffed two pieces, he saw that I was almost choking and almost died, so he whispered to remind me, "Hurry up and beg for mercy, say something nice."

So, I knelt before the prince with a snack in my mouth, kowtowed and begged for mercy in a vague manner. But he said he couldn't hear what I said clearly, had me dragged away, and even made fun of me crawling like a dog, laughing happily.

"What is Che'er doing? It's so lively!" Two figures were walking towards him from far away. The prince's face changed slightly and his smile disappeared.
