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

Chapter 254 The Infamous Young Lady 42

The light outside the window gradually brightened, and the cool breeze and the faint mist made the dappled sunlight appear hazy.

Bai Guanqing's biological clock was finally awakened.

It was just dawn, and only a few servants were busy preparing breakfast outside.

He was in a daze, and a strange soreness came from the back of his neck. Having practiced martial arts for many years, he naturally realized that he had been knocked unconscious.

He thought back carefully, and the fragmented memories gradually came back to him.

Before he could fully recall what was happening, he noticed the sweet, soft scent of a young girl beside him. He paused for a moment, then glanced to the side.

The girl was only wearing a white undergarment, her sleeping posture was messy, her hands were wrapped around his waist, and her legs were pressed firmly against him, her sleeping posture was extremely unseemly.

She closed her eyes quietly, the rouge on her face washed away, and when she didn't speak, she finally looked somewhat obedient and harmless.

He didn't even need to think that if Ni Qing's temperament were as quiet and well-mannered as that of an ordinary woman, the number of men who would be knocking down her door to propose marriage would be no less than that of Miss He.

Bai Guanqing had a habit of practicing martial arts. He gently pried open the hands wrapped around his waist, moved slowly, and even held his breath.

I've never been this careful when doing tasks.

The girl seemed oblivious, turned over, and continued sleeping.

When she woke up again, the mattress beside the bed had been cold for a long time. Zhuzhu seemed to have been lying at the door for a while, and came in immediately upon hearing the noise.

"Miss, you're finally awake! I'll help you wash up and then we'll go serve tea to Her Majesty the Empress." Zhuzhu said hurriedly and anxiously.

Ni Qing's thoughts began to race. Yes, she was married and needed to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.

"Where is he?" The answer was obvious, and the maid replied, "His Highness was practicing martial arts in the back mountain. He said he would wait for Miss to wake up before going together."

He's quite considerate, even letting her sleep in a little longer, but that's the Empress! How could Bai Guanqing dare?!

She was quickly washed and led to the door, where a luxurious carriage was already waiting. With the help of the coachman, she easily stepped onto it.

She lifted the curtain and saw the young man's figure. Her fingertips paused slightly, but she still went in and sat down not far from him.

Bai Guanqing remained silent, refusing to utter a word about being knocked unconscious by his wife on their wedding night, his demeanor cold and indifferent.

This was the look Ni Qing was most familiar with; she had seen this expression countless times in the Ni residence, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

What I fear most is him suddenly picking a fight.

The Seventh Prince's residence was much closer than the Princess's residence, and they arrived at the palace in no time.

Bai Guanqing got out of the carriage first, then reached out to help the girl behind him. Under the watchful eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs, the two intertwined their hands, looking very affectionate.

"By the time you came to serve tea, it was almost cold." The Empress sat in the main seat, with two personal maids standing beside her. They couldn't help but complain a little when they saw the two of them enter.

"Mother, please calm down. The princess was quite tired yesterday and her body couldn't handle it, so she was a little late," Bai Guanqing explained respectfully.

The Empress's gaze suddenly became subtle. She narrowed her clear black and white eyes and carefully examined Ni Qing.

The child seemed to have poor blood circulation when he first arrived. At first, she thought it was due to the change in environment, but now it seems that he is still physically weak.

"Your Highness doesn't look well. You need to be more restrained and not do this again next time." She reluctantly accepted this reason.

Ni Qing: "?"

Not understanding why, but seeing the male lead's unchanging expression, she slowly looked away. After chatting for about fifteen minutes and serving tea, she began to feel a little tired and bored.

The Empress showed no sign of stopping and continued to shower him with concern.

After Bai Guanqing noticed this, he stayed at Fengyi Palace and told Ni Qing to go back to the carriage and wait.

The girl, who had been looking sickly, immediately perked up, bowed, and took her leave.

Outside the palace, maids and eunuchs were busy moving flowers and pruning branches. The sunlight and air were just right, and the oppressive atmosphere from before was gone.

The carriage was parked a bit far away; it would take some time to walk there.

"The county lord."

Suddenly, a strange male voice came from behind.

Ni Qing paused, turning back in confusion.

The man had an extraordinary air about him, and his attire resembled that of a nobleman from the palace, either a prince or a minister.

"Who are you?" She had been in her room the whole time on her wedding day, so she naturally didn't recognize Bai Lan.

“I am the fourth brother of my seventh brother. According to etiquette, we are all family. You can call me Fourth Brother as well.” He said gently, with a warm and gentle demeanor.

Ni Qing instantly became wary and smiled, "So it's His Highness Prince Hao." This fourth prince is not described much; he is skilled in strategy and has a gloomy mind. I wonder what his intentions are in coming to greet me.

Bai Lan chuckled lightly, realizing his attempt to ingratiate himself had failed. He glanced at the servants beside him, and the others tactfully withdrew, leaving only the two of them.

He took a step and slowly walked forward.

Ni Qing mentally activated the siren, glancing at Fengyi Palace; Bai Guanqing hadn't come out yet.

The two were so close that he stopped when he was right in front of him, and said slowly, "I am about to establish an heir, and coincidentally, my seventh brother has returned. So many years have passed, I wonder how he is doing."

“Princess, if you can help me establish an heir, you will surely enjoy wealth and honor, both in terms of status and riches. This is what I promise to do.”

What he said was chilling.

The young woman took a step back without leaving a trace, understanding, and said in a gesture of winning people over: "Your Highness Prince Hao, you really think too highly of me. I am just a woman and can't help much. A woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, and I should put my husband first. Please don't speak recklessly, Your Highness."

This analogy truly stunned Bai Lan for a second.

Who would dare to compare royalty to cats and dogs?

Ni Qing rolled her eyes inwardly. She was already incredibly wealthy in her home country, so why would she need others to give her riches and honors? Why not use a better bait to win people's hearts?

The Fourth Prince didn't lose his composure for long. His eyes seemed to trace her features, and he smiled, "I have overstepped my bounds. I urge the Princess to consider this carefully. You may reply at any time. I look forward to your assistance."

Help your mother's head.

No sooner had Bai Lan left than the Seventh Prince emerged from the palace. Seeing that Ni Qing hadn't boarded her carriage yet, he asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you standing here?"

“I just ran into the Fourth Prince,” Ni Qing said truthfully.

Bai Guanqing lowered his eyes: "Stay away from him, he's not a good guy."

The girl chuckled: "I think you should worry about yourself instead."

The opponent's goal is obvious: to bring down the male protagonist. But Bai Guanqing is the male protagonist, and these lackeys are just there to help him level up and gain experience. They can't escape the protagonist's halo.

Bai Lan casually wandered into an alley, whistled once, but no sound came out. A moment later, a group of men in black appeared and bowed in unison: "Your Highness!"

"Go and investigate Ni Qing's information before he came to our country. Investigate carefully and report back to me tomorrow."
