Quick Transmigration: The Villainous Female Supporting Character Became the Male Lead's Beloved

Chapter 248 The Infamous Young Lady 36

Ni Qing was taken aback for a moment. She didn't hear much of what he said, but she was startled by his actions.

She went through the male lead's character in her mind in detail: silent, quiet, not fond of talking, expressionless most of the time, and there was no difference between men and women in his eyes.

Therefore, the relationship between the male and female leads develops very slowly in the story.

The male lead now is completely different.

She quickly took a step back and said coldly, "Seventh Prince, did you go to all this trouble to come to the Princess's residence just to take the fan? If you had sent someone to tell me earlier, I would have naturally sent someone to return it. You didn't need to come all the way here yourself."

Bai Guanqing slightly curled his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I just happened to be passing by. Since there is no tea at the Princess's residence, I will not bother you any further."

After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage.

Mu Shui lowered her eyelids, said nothing, and turned to sit on the side of the carriage: "Princess, farewell."

Their master seemed to dislike this princess quite a bit. No, it wasn't that he disliked her, but rather that he seemed to be secretly resentful.

Only after the princess's residence disappeared behind him did he speak: "Send people to follow her movements."

Mu Shui: "...Yes."

Before we knew it, it was the last day of the celebration banquet.

The scene was more elaborate than the previous two days, and everyone tacitly knew that His Majesty was going to announce the marriage between the princess and the prince today.

Although there are rumors that the third prince will eventually marry the princess, no one can say for sure until the very end.

The Emperor of Yu sat at the head of the table, his eyelids drooping loosely, but his eyes remained bright and piercing, exuding a strong sense of pressure.

His sharp gaze swept over the crowd: "Why haven't the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince arrived yet?"

Ni Qing remained seated, completely unconcerned.

One of the princes, who was on good terms with the third prince, chimed in: "Your Majesty, I heard that you fell into the water two nights ago and caught a cold. You are still bedridden and unable to move."

The emperor looked up and said, "Oh? Is your illness that serious? How could you have fallen into the water? Should we have the imperial physician examine you?"

The prince replied, "I am not sure about that. On such an important day, I think my brother will arrive later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Guanqing walked in from the doorway: "Your subject is a little late. The banquet should not have started yet, right?"

The old emperor's eyes instantly softened with affection: "Nothing is later than your third brother. How could you have fallen into the water in the middle of the night?"

Upon hearing this, Ni Qing calmly took a sip of her herbal tea. She could catch a cold in this kind of weather; she wondered if it was due to her weak constitution or if someone had done it on purpose.

All the princes looked at each other in bewilderment. That night, Bai Mufeng had clearly gone after the princess under the guise of being drunk. They didn't know how much time had passed before they heard the servants discover that the Third Prince was lying on the bank of the pond.

Covered in mud and looking utterly disheveled.

The Emperor of Yu, whose mood had been fine, began to sour. He pursed his lips and said, "Fine, if he really can't come, then let's begin."

Everyone started eating.

It's understandable that his good-for-nothing son did this, but wouldn't it be a bit too hasty to announce the marriage unilaterally?

As he pondered, a message came from outside: "The Third Prince has arrived!"

Everyone was taken aback and quickly looked towards the door. Wasn't the main character of today's banquet not coming?

Bai Mufeng was dressed in thick clothes, but it still couldn't hide his pale face. His cheeks were flushed with a sickly redness, and he looked very weak.

"Mu Feng, you've arrived? I heard you're still recovering from a serious illness, why have you suddenly come over?" The emperor looked up at him, his attitude completely different from when Bai Guanqing arrived.

Bai Mufeng glanced at his seventh brother with suspicion, then looked at Ni Qing sitting leisurely to the side, and felt a surge of resentment.

It's all that damned princess's fault, making him look so pathetic in front of the Emperor today.
