The female supporting role is crazy about the male lead

Jin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." Fortunately, there were not two young ladies coming at once.

As soon as they entered Yihóng Courtyard, the two maids tactfully retreated.

They all grew up with the original owner, and they unconditionally believed in and protected their young lady.

Even though they knew that the young lady was entangled with the empress dowager's "male favorite", which was so shocking, as long as the young lady liked it, they would accept it.

As soon as Xia Ran entered, she was dazzled by the sexy man waiting for her on the bed.

Ye Ji was lying on his side on the bed, wearing a loose robe. His clothes were tightly covered, but because of the material of the clothes, the collar was slightly open, revealing his strong collarbone.

A large, bony hand was holding a pot of wine and drinking from it.

The man had a dazed expression, and the wine that had not been drunk flowed down the corners of his mouth, passed over his chin, slid across his neck, and finally disappeared into his tightly closed collar.

The corners of those most alluring eyes turned up, looking at her with a slight frown.

Her thick, curved eyelashes drooped, and her eyes were seductive and charming, sending electricity to her.

The woman was hooked by the man, her delicate face flushed, and her eyes dodged when she looked at the bed, "You, what are you doing lying on my bed?"

Ye Ji smiled and drank the last sip of wine in the pot, then walked down from the bed barefoot, "Ran Ran, I'm waiting for you."

The man came closer and closer. Xia Ran was shocked by his handsome face and turned away. "Why are you waiting for me? You are Queen Mother Su's man."

The woman muttered.

Speaking of this, she herself felt a little depressed because the target of her pursuit turned out to be someone else's man.

"Tsk," Ye Ji lifted the woman's face and forced his eyes to meet hers. He stroked the corner of her mouth with his thumb and said in a dangerous tone, "Don't let me hear that old woman's name from this little mouth again."

If I don't hear him, does that mean I'm not a male favorite?

Xia Ran turned her face away from him, and the burning shyness she had just felt disappeared completely, and she suddenly felt a little irritated.

He came to see her every day for unknown reasons and did things that he liked for her, but he was still the Empress Dowager Su's male favorite.

"Nightthorn," the woman pushed the man away, her brows furrowed in annoyance, "What is your purpose in getting close to me?"

"If you hate Queen Mother Su so much, why do you cling to her as a male concubine?"

"Is there really any difference between me and Queen Mother Su in your place?"

"You approached both of us, are you doing it for the same purpose?"

The woman's voice was no longer delicate and soft, and her face was calm, just like when she faced her husband before, without any emotion.

Ye Ji's eyes flickered, "Ran Ran, didn't we agree that we wouldn't ask each other these questions?"

After hearing what the man said, the woman's eyes immediately turned red. "I'm sorry, Master Ji, my time is very precious right now."

"I don't need meaningless men and feelings, so don't come to me again in the future."

Although she was the one who made the harsh words, at the end, the woman with a pretty face couldn't help but shed tears, with big tears hanging on her chin, precariously.

The man's eyes were complicated. He couldn't respond to the woman's words. His hand, half hidden in his sleeves, slowly clenched into a fist.

The two broke up unhappy like this.

The day arrived when we had to go to Linhua Palace to keep our appointment with the Queen Mother.

Xia Ran was still dressing up.

"Miss," Jin Feng combed her long hair, "Why hasn't Mr. Huai come here recently?"

"What? Are you still missing him?" Xia Ran looked at the girl busying herself for her in the mirror.

"No," the little girl shook her head repeatedly to deny, "I just felt that you haven't been very happy these past few days, and I wondered if it was because Master Huai didn't come."

Xia Ran frowned, that was indeed the case.

Last time, I asked Xiaobai to check Ye Ji's favorability, and it was only 50. She was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.

Almost three months had passed in this world. Speaking of intimacy, they had done some intimate things before, but there always seemed to be a layer between them. She wanted to take a step further, but couldn't.

That layer, she knew, must be related to the hidden plot of Nightthorn.

"Jinfeng, stop talking about this. You need to hurry up and dress up for me."

Today, she was facing the Empress Dowager Su.

Imperial Palace, Linhua Palace.

Linhua Palace is very lively today.

The three main guests of the banquet, Xia Ran, Yue Yushu, and Yun Shuang'er, have not arrived yet, but the third princess Yun Yu has arrived first.

The inner room of Linhua Palace.

"Aji, would you like to go out for dinner with me today?" Empress Dowager Su asked the man who was writing inscriptions in front of her.

The man continued writing, "My lady, I'm afraid Aji is not qualified."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Su raised her eyebrows and said, "In Linhua Palace, what I say is an order, even if the emperor comes."

Arrogant and presumptuous.

A hint of disdain flashed across the man's eyes.

When Xia Ran came, the male and female protagonists had not arrived yet. The third princess Yun Yu, who was playing with birds at the door, saw her first.

The woman in blue saw her and walked towards her with her arms folded. "Xia Ran, you look really good today."

The woman looked at Xia Ran in front of her with a little surprise.

Xia Ran's outfit today wasn't anything particularly fancy or formal, it was just very appropriate.

The original owner had a delicate and bright appearance. When she was "Mrs. Yue", her dressing style was too gaudy. Later, after she returned home, she wanted to be comfortable and her clothes were too simple and elegant.

Although both styles are beautiful, they are not the most beautiful.

Today, Xia Ran picked out a thin red dress. The fabric of the dress flowed, showing off her graceful figure as she walked.

Her long, shiny black hair was loose, but her makeup was carefully done by Jinfeng.

Jin Feng carefully drew her eyebrows, applied lipstick, and only touched up the corners of her eyes with a touch of red. With her black hair and red lips, she looked very bright and beautiful.

"Very good." Yun Yu was still circling around Xia Ran, nodding with satisfaction, "Finally, he doesn't look as hateful as before."

"Hateful?" Xia Ran laughed, "So the Third Princess looked at me like this before? That's why she just ignored me later?"

"I guess so." The third princess said confidently, "You were with him before," the girl nodded her chin, "but after you got married, you became too dull and boring. You are not qualified to be my friend."

Xia Ran also turned around following the Third Princess's gaze, and what came into view was the male and female protagonists who had just arrived.

After not seeing each other for nearly a month, both of them have undergone some small changes, more or less.

There was no obvious change in Yue Yushu except that the lines between his eyebrows became deeper.

But being Yun Shuang'er has changed a lot. Even though she has dressed up well today and is still beautiful, Xia Ran can still see the deep fatigue hidden under her makeup.

She said, they won't have an easy time.

The three of them greeted each other and went into the house.
