Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

I have been living in Luqing Palace for half a month, and usually I just do some simple work as an ordinary palace maid. This palace covers a large area, and the palace maids in charge of different parts rarely come and go. One person is responsible for several empty palaces, and I often don't see other people when I am working.

In addition, my situation was special, and the eunuch in charge was also a member of the Imperial Dragon Guard, so I lived in an independent small courtyard when I first arrived, and later two maids dressed as palace maids were assigned to help me with things. I now have a palace maid's bun and wear a palace maid's clothes. Although it's just a different dress, when I look in the mirror, I can vaguely feel that I seem to have changed in some way.

He Zhao also explained to me that I didn't need to use the disguise technique. I was still young and my bones were not yet stable. If I used the disguise technique for a long time, it would be harmful to my body. In addition, the portrait left by the princess's biological mother did look a bit like me when she was young, so I adjusted my appearance through makeup and external accessories.

The night before the emperor visited Luqing Palace, Zi Yan was sent to confirm that I was familiar with the basic etiquette of a palace maid.

Although her identity this time is a princess, in order to maintain her character, as an illegitimate daughter secretly born in the palace, she has lived here with her mother like a mouse since she was a child. Although she is not considered a palace maid, she has been taught by her mother through words and deeds and knows the rules of the palace.

I hadn't seen Zi Yan for a long time. When we met, I showed great enthusiasm and went forward to hold her hand. However, her reaction was a little cold. She just smiled slightly and pulled her hand away from my palm without leaving a trace.

I noticed this very quickly, and at first I thought it was because there were other people around and she didn't want to appear to be very familiar with me, so I took the initiative to ask the two girls to step away.

Unexpectedly, Zi Yan stopped him and said, "It's okay, let them listen too. In the future, they will go back to the palace with you and become your helpers. There is no need to hide it."

The two girls agreed in unison, "Yes, Aunt Ziyan."

It suddenly dawned on me that they had known each other for a long time. That's right, no link in this plan can be missed, otherwise the news will be leaked and no one can escape. Any crime will result in the death of the entire clan. Only the well-trained tools in the Royal Dragon Guard can be so obedient and useful.

After discussing serious matters with Zi Yan, she nodded, acknowledging that as an ordinary palace maid, there was nothing wrong with me.

"How did your mother die?" This sudden question stunned me.

So now we have entered the stage of mock exams?

This was actually quite simple. As long as he recalled some of his original memories, his nose would immediately ache and tears would roll down his cheeks. "He died of illness ten years ago. He was very ill. He took a lot of medicine but it didn't work..."

The princess's biological mother was an extremely cautious and timid person. She never thought of marrying into a wealthy family. Even after she had a child, she only protected her out of instinct. Unfortunately, the information that the Dragon Guards found out was only after she died of illness ten years ago. The real princess was young, and the nanny who was entrusted with the care of her child fell ill for a while, so she died due to lack of care.

All the people who knew about the situation back then are no longer alive, so I have to make up the specific experiences on my own, but as long as they are consistent, it's fine.

So I directly appropriated the story of Shen Xingye’s mother who passed away early, and my tears were shed with real emotion.

Zi Yan then handed me the handkerchief and said, "Don't be sad, things will get better in the future."

I don't know whether she said this to the person who was pretending to be her or to me.

She only stayed for a short while that night and was about to leave. I was worried about her leg problems and the difficulty walking on the mountain road at night, so I wanted to ask her to stay overnight, but she refused and displayed her excellent lightness skills in front of me and flew out of the courtyard wall.

Besides being shocked, I felt more envious.

I didn't see the emperor until after noon the next day. The person who delivered the message was a young eunuch beside Fang Yian. I had worked with him when I was Xiao Xiazi. But he obviously didn't recognize me now. I thought to myself, oh, this is not a member of the Imperial Dragon Guard, but a real young eunuch.

I entered the hall and everyone else left.

Like an ordinary palace maid, I bowed to the ground. I didn't hear the words asking me to stand up, so I kept my head down until I heard the emperor slowly say, "Xiao Anzi, you should go out first."

Although my body did not move, I felt inexplicably nervous inside, as if I was in an extremely serious examination room where all the candidates had handed in their answer sheets and left, but I was the only one who was stopped by the teacher, who handed me another paper, leaving me alone in the huge empty examination room to continue working on the questions.

The footsteps passed by me without any hesitation until they faded away.

Fang Yian had already left before the emperor asked me to stand up.

After I stood up, I should have kept my head down and remained cautious, but because I stood up smoothly, I casually glanced at the person sitting there. He had lost a lot of weight compared to the last time I saw him.

I remember that night in Hibiscus Palace, he was on the imperial concubine's bed, and because he was playing a game with the imperial concubine, a grape got stuck in his throat and he almost suffocated. I rushed in and caught a glimpse of his appearance, but he was all white and fat.

When I came back to my senses, the expression of shock on my face could no longer be suppressed.

"Why? Do you recognize me?"

"When your Majesty came here the summer before last, I saw him from afar. Your Majesty was very different then." Although Luqing Palace was the emperor's summer resort, he didn't have time to come here every year. Fortunately, I had done my homework on these details in advance.

"Oh? How is it different? Tell me about it." A smile appeared on the emperor's face, and his expression became more amiable. He even waved his hand, motioning me to come forward.

I took a long step forward and stood at the edge of the stairs before continuing, "Your Majesty at that time was just a thumb-sized shadow in my eyes, but now I can see your Majesty in person, it's really different."

“Hahahahahaha…” The emperor laughed out loud and seemed to be in a good mood. He asked me some daily topics, such as how old I am, what I usually do, what I like, and my mother.

He must have known about the death long ago, so there was little change in his expression when I repeated the circumstances of her death.

"Did she ever tell you about...your father?"

"No, I would ask her when she was little, but every time I asked her, she would cry and not say anything. Later, I stopped asking her."

I tried hard to pretend that I didn't know his relationship with me and played the role that was set for me.

Later, when I left the palace, his face didn't look as good as when I first entered the palace, and I wasn't recognized as his daughter on the spot as I imagined. I calmly returned to my own courtyard.
