The villainous female supporting character in the quick transmigration game is incredibly popular!

Chapter 238 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 7

Those five words shocked everyone present.

Upon hearing Qingyu's evaluation, Shao Mingyu paused, her face showing not only humiliation but also grievance.

She hasn't finished dancing yet!

Does the princess really not like it?

Her heart trembled for a moment, and Shao Mingyu's tears fell uncontrollably. Not wanting anyone to see and thus implicate Qingyu, she quickly lowered her head, gritted her teeth, thanked them, and returned to her seat.

Qin Su frowned and looked at Qingyu. He felt that Qingyu's actions were a bit excessive, but he couldn't really blame her.

In the past, he would have definitely stood up and spoken out, but now he had no intention of stepping forward.

He could only gulp it down with one mouthful of wine.

Seeing Shao Mingyu retreat in grievance, Qingyu smiled with delight, her slender fingers tapping the table. Noticing Qin Su's gaze, she raised her eyebrows arrogantly, her alluring eyes full of provocation.

You don't like me, do you?

snort!

In the awkward moment, Qingchen coughed and quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, this talent competition is just for fun, everyone don't need to take it so seriously."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and echoed the sentiment.

At the banquet that followed, Qingyu seemed somewhat distracted.

She knew why she was targeting Shao Mingyu. Perhaps it was because of the pigeon, but more so because the thought that this female lead in her past life might have "killed" her filled her with resentment.

She finally understood the hatred that the vicious female supporting character harbored towards the female lead.

She's definitely suited to be a villainous supporting character!

During the banquet, Qin Su's thoughts were entirely focused on Qingyu. Not only him, but Rong Jinnian and Li Mo's eyes also never left Qingyu. The more they observed her, the more they realized that this seemingly willful princess was not simple, not just in appearance, but even in her temperament...

They're all inexplicably cute.

After the banquet ended, Qingyu declined the princess's invitation and walked alone on the path back to her residence.

It is true that Emperor Chen agreed to let Qingyu leave the palace, and he will naturally make thoughtful arrangements for everything. The accommodation he arranged is extremely elegant and luxurious, and it is not far from the venue of this banquet.

Qingyu is usually quite lazy, but today she was in the mood and slowly walked back.

Yes, the kind with a dozen or so guards around.

She hadn't walked far when Qingyu noticed someone behind her. After a moment's thought, she realized who it might be.

The guards beside him turned around warily. When they saw that it was Rong Jinnian, they were taken aback at first, and then said with a stern face, "What is the prince doing following the princess?"

Rong Jinnian?

Qingyu turned her head coldly, but when she looked at him, she saw that Li Mo had also followed behind him.

Speechless, looking slightly tired, he said, "Are you sure you're not a group? I don't have time for you."

She even started using more ordinary terms of address.

Rong Jinnian was speechless. He explained softly, "I just wanted to talk to you..."

"And was the princess a little too harsh on Miss Shao today? Was she... angry?"

He was somewhat expectant about whether Qingyu was jealous, so after asking, his heart was in his throat.

Qingyu snorted coldly, looking down on everyone, "I don't need you to tell me what to do."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Rong Jinnian's eyes. He lowered his gaze, his handsome face showing a slight melancholy. "Why do you hate me so much? I remember I didn't do anything."

This is what Rong Jinnian doesn't understand.

He certainly wanted to win over Qingyu, but he hadn't done anything yet.

Hearing this, Qingyu became even more impatient, flicking her long sleeves, "No need to pretend. If there's nothing wrong, don't hang around in front of this princess. Besides... do you really think this princess doesn't know about your affair with Miss Shao?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Jinnian's expression changed slightly. He wanted to explain, but at that moment, Li Mo had already stepped forward and stood in front of the two of them.

He bowed with a smile, seemingly unaffected by their awkwardness, and said, "Your Highness."

When Qingyu saw him, the corners of her mouth unconsciously twitched, but her mood had actually improved considerably. "Why are you here too? Did you come with me, Princess?"

Li Mo quickly shook his head, "I was just taking a casual stroll and happened to come across this place."

As he spoke, he glanced at Rong Jinnian and tentatively asked, "I noticed that Your Highness and the Prince seemed to be arguing..."

Rong Jinnian's face darkened, and upon hearing this, he immediately looked over coldly, his sharp eyes seeming to want to devour someone.

Li Mo was not afraid. Instead, he boldly stood in front of Qingyu, blocking her intimidating gaze.

As he got closer, he could smell the sweet fragrance emanating from Qingyu, and when he looked down, he met a pair of shimmering, watery eyes that stunned him so much that his ears turned red.

He explained earnestly, "Princess, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

Rong Jinnian's heart skipped a beat, and she began to secretly wonder if there was some other kind of feeling between Li Mo and Qingyu.

Otherwise, why doesn't Qingyu dislike Li Mo?

Just because of different status?

Rong Jinnian was unwilling to accept this.

The three stood facing each other. Qingyu, seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, suddenly giggled.

"You all look quite amusing."

Her beautiful eyes swept over the two of them, and she suddenly understood why Li Mo was so annoyed with Rong Jinnian.

Rong Jinnian and Li Mo were both taken aback. The latter's expression softened even more as he whispered ingratiatingly, "As long as the princess is happy, that's all that matters."

Qingyu's smile faded, and she said seriously, "I am quite happy... but whatever your purpose may be, I hope you will not bother me again today, or don't blame this princess for being impolite."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Rong Jinnian hurriedly reached out and grabbed her sleeve, "Princess, I have no ill intentions towards you. What happened before must have been a misunderstanding."

Seeing this, Li Mo also grasped Qingyu's other arm, "Princess, do not trust him too easily."

Qingyu shook off their hands, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. "Enough! Who do you take me for, someone you can fight over and manipulate as you please?"

Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, a series of light footsteps approached.

The three of them looked over at the same time and saw Shao Mingyu walking towards them in a flowing white dress.

She bowed gracefully to Qingyu, saying, "Your Highness, please do not let petty squabbles ruin our harmony."

She observed from the shadows for a long time, somewhat surprised that Li Mo had also joined in...

She had originally intended to come over and explain, but seeing Qingyu angry, she instinctively rushed out.

My heart was pounding like thunder at that moment.

Qingyu raised an eyebrow, not expecting Shao Mingyu to try and ease the situation. She glanced at Rong Jinnian with a half-smile and nodded, "What do you want to say?"

Shao Mingyu mustered her courage and turned to look at Rong Jinnian and Li Mo, "The two gentlemen were just in a hurry, and I'm sure they didn't mean to offend the princess."

Rong Jinnian and Li Mo exchanged a glance and silently took a step back. Qingyu looked at Shao Mingyu, and her hostility towards her lessened somewhat.

Seeing that Qingyu's expression had softened slightly, Shao Mingyu continued, "Your Highness, today's events were all caused by Mingyu. If Your Highness is still unhappy, Mingyu is willing to accept punishment."

Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, "You are quite good at judging the situation."

Shao Mingyu lowered her head. "Mingyu just doesn't want Your Highness to be troubled by worries."

I don't want Qingyu to be sad either!

Qingyu naturally didn't believe it, but it was already late, and she was too lazy to argue any further. She then snorted and said, "Fine, let's just let this matter drop."

Rong Jinnian was somewhat unwilling, but with so many people around, he dared not say anything and could only suppress his feelings.

Li Mo was increasingly reluctant to part with her. He had already confirmed that he had feelings for Qingyu, and if possible, he was willing to become her husband!
