Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Chapter 456 The Princess's Maid (End of Extra Chapter)

"Yes, Li'er is very clever, she guessed correctly."

Yue Zerui gently rubbed Yue Li's round little face.

Five-year-old Yue Zhen, as the elder brother, was more composed than his younger sister, and when they got close, he also called her "Royal Uncle".

"Uncle, how did you get injured on your face?"

Yue Zerui had several scratches on his face, inflicted by his princess.

The thought of the injury on his face made him blurt out instinctively, "It's all because of that shrew! She..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yue Zerui realized he had lost his composure and shouldn't have said those things in front of the two children.

Even though he hadn't finished speaking, Yue Zhen could guess what he meant by what he hadn't said.

"Uncle, are you referring to Seventh Imperial Aunt when you say shrew?"

Yue Li mimicked her elder brother's words and also said, "A shrew?"

Yue Zerui felt a headache coming on: "You two should just pretend that the Imperial Uncle didn't say anything. The injury on the Imperial Uncle's face was caused by a cat scratching him."

"Uncle is lying, Li'er doesn't believe you. You just said it was a shrew who scratched me, not a cat."

"That is……"

Yue Zerui didn't know how to explain it.

"Zhen'er, Li'er?"

Qi Ning discovered that Yue Zhen and Yue Li were missing, so he led his men to look for them.

Upon hearing Qi Ning's voice, Yue Zerui stiffened and instinctively tried to dodge.

Yue Zhen and Yue Li ran to Qi Ning's side: "Mother, we are talking to the Seventh Imperial Uncle."

Qi Ning had already spotted Yue Zerui: "Isn't this Prince Rui?"

It was too late to dodge at this point, so Yue Zerui had no choice but to stop.

He turned to Qi Ning, chuckled twice, and said, "Sister-in-law, what a coincidence, we actually met here."

Qi Ning, holding the hands of her two children, asked, "Why does Prince Rui try to hide whenever he sees me? Am I that scary?"

Yue Zerui looked distressed.

"It's not that my sister-in-law is scary, it's that my brother is scary. How dare I talk to my sister-in-law any more? If my brother finds out, he might come up with some other way to trap me."

Qi Ning couldn't help but chuckle: "Prince Rui is joking. His Majesty isn't that scary... Hey, what happened to your face?"

She also saw the injury on Yue Zerui's face.

Yue Zerui awkwardly raised his hand to cover himself: "N-nothing."

Even without him saying anything, Qi Ning already guessed what had happened.

Not to mention the two little ones, Yue Zhen and Yue Li.

Yue Li, though young, said with great precociousness, "Mother, the wound on the Imperial Uncle's face was scratched by that shrew."

Yue Zhen looked at Yue Li and said, "Li'er, don't be rude. It was Seventh Imperial Aunt who scratched you."

Yue Zerui: "..."

Qi Ning was both amused and exasperated.

However, this is not unusual; Yue Zerui and his wife have caused quite a few disturbances at the palace.

Yue Zerui felt somewhat ashamed and lowered his head: "Your Majesty, I still need to go find Your Majesty, so I will take my leave now."

"Alright." Qi Ning nodded. "You should go now. I'm also taking Zhen'er and Li'er back to the palace."

After speaking, Qi Ning left with Yue Zhen and Yue Li, while Yue Zerui also led the little eunuch towards the imperial study.

After a short while, Yue Zerui suddenly stopped and turned to look at Qi Ning's departing figure.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" asked the eunuch beside him.

"nothing."

Yue Zerui turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Let's go find my brother."

In the afternoon, Yue Zeyuan returned to Weiyang Palace, where Qi Ning was staying.

As soon as he entered, he saw Qi Ning on the couch. She covered her face with a handkerchief and tapped her fingers lightly beside her.

Yue Zeyuan could tell at a glance that Qi Ning was not asleep.

He waved for the servants to leave and asked Qi Ning, "Where are Zhen'er and Li'er?"

Qi Ning removed the handkerchief that was covering her face to block out the light: "They played wildly in the Imperial Garden all morning. I went to bring them back to rest for a while, but they ran out again in the afternoon. They're so playful."

Yue Zeyuan sat down next to Qi Ning and rubbed her shoulders: "Those two troublemakers must have exhausted you. Zhen'er is old enough to start his studies. Once he goes to the Imperial Study, you'll have less to worry about."

Qi Ning sighed softly: "That doesn't necessarily mean it's less troublesome."

Yue Zeyuan paused in his massage of her shoulders, seemingly lost in thought.

Immediately afterwards, he pulled Qi Ning into his arms and looked at her, asking, "I heard that you met Prince Rui in the Imperial Garden today?"

"how do you know?"

Qi Ning played with the handkerchief in her hand: "When I went to the Imperial Garden to look for Zhen'er and Li'er, I ran into him by chance. I heard that he had gotten into another fight with Princess Rui and went to you to seek justice."

"That's right, I want a divorce."

"You agree?"

Yue Zeyuan chuckled: "They're making a huge fuss, talking about divorce all the time, but that doesn't mean they actually want a divorce."

"That's true. It's a matter of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit. Otherwise, Prince Rui wouldn't be able to defeat a weak woman. He was just letting the Princess Consort win."

Yue Zeyuan didn't want to hear Qi Ning talk about other men, so he leaned in and kissed Qi Ning's lips.

Qi Ning nudged him, muttering, "It's not dark yet, be careful the child doesn't see this when they get back."

"Will not."

Yue Zeyuan sealed her lips with his again.

But the two had only been kissing for a short while when Yue Zeyuan was about to push Qi Ning down onto the small couch, Yue Zhen and Yue Li rushed in.

"Mother!"

Qi Ning was startled and reflexively pushed Yue Zeyuan off her.

Caught off guard, Yue Zeyuan was pushed by Qi Ning and fell onto the small couch, almost falling off the couch in the process.

"Father, are you alright?" Yue Zhen rushed forward, looking at him with a worried expression.

"Father, did you hurt yourself?" Yue Li asked, coming closer.

Yue Zeyuan sat up, glanced at Qi Ning who looked embarrassed, and patted the two children's heads with a forced smile.

"Father is alright, don't worry."

Yue Zhen looked at Qi Ning: "Mother, why did you push Father?"

Qi Ning was at a loss for words when Yue Li, the little girl, asked in her unclear, childish voice, "Mother, do you bully Father like Seventh Imperial Aunt bullies Seventh Imperial Uncle? You're... you're a shrew?"

Qi Ning rubbed his forehead.

What a childish thing.

Upon hearing this, Yue Zeyuan's expression changed slightly. He picked up Yue Li and asked seriously, "Li'er, what do you mean by 'shrew'? Who taught you to say that just now?"

"Seventh Imperial Uncle, he was beaten by Seventh Imperial Aunt, who said she was a shrew." Yue Li was still young and didn't know how to read people's expressions, so she replied in a daze.

Yue Zhen noticed that his father's expression was off, so he quickly tugged at Yue Li's sleeve: "Li'er, stop talking."

Fortunately, it was Yue Li who said this, not Yue Zhen, otherwise Yue Zeyuan would have given him a good spanking.

"Don't listen to your seventh uncle's nonsense. He's corrupted you all, do you hear me?"

Yue Zhen and Yue Li exchanged a glance and obediently replied, "Yes, Father."

Yue Zeyuan then let them go and had his servants take them out to play.

As soon as the two children left, Yue Zeyuan leaned over again, wanting to hug Qi Ning.

Qi Ning raised her hand and patted his shoulder: "You're doing it again!"

Yue Zeyuan grabbed her wrist and laughed, "How dare you! You actually dare to hit me."

Qi Ning glared at him: "You deserve it. I told you not to do this, or the child would see you, but you still did it. You were almost seen just now."

"You lay hands on me like that, no wonder the children say you're a shrew who bullies me."

Qi Ning was so angry that she wanted to leave, but Yue Zeyuan grabbed her belt and pulled her back.

"Alright, why are you so angry?"

"You know perfectly well who's bullying whom."

"Yes, it was I who bullied you."

Yue Zeyuan kissed her lips and said meaningfully, "I will apologize to you."

Qi Ning glared at him and said, "Tch, who would believe that? You're up to no good."

Yue Zeyuan definitely had ill intentions.

He didn't refute this, but chuckled and carried Qi Ning into the inner room.
