Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

The old woman looked guilty, yet also dismissive. She was frail and sickly, and timid by nature, which was why these servants had taken advantage of her.

"This servant is only doing this for Your Highness's own good. Your Highness is young and doesn't understand, but if this servant leaves, the new servants will probably be even harsher on Your Highness. At that time, Your Highness will be left with no one to turn to."

A dignified voice rang out, and Consort De slapped the nanny across the face with a dark expression.

"Who do you think you are, daring to threaten your mistress? Drag you away and have you beaten to death! Interrogate those who served the Fourth Princess before as well. If they also bullied your mistress, beat them to death as well!"

The old woman's legs went weak, and she knelt down with a thud.

Yao Feiran's entourage has been completely replaced. This new group of people has learned from the mistakes of the past, and Consort De has also placed trusted confidants to keep an eye on her. No one dares to underestimate her anymore.

When she was studying, she would ask Chen Zhaoche to study with her. She found that although he was a jerk, he was actually quite intelligent and could at least concentrate on his studies.

Seeing that Chen Zhaoche not only accompanied his younger sister in her studies but also helped her with various tasks, Consort De developed some maternal affection for her son. Sometimes when they ate together, Yao Feiran would also help to ease the tension between mother and son.

Consort De had been in the palace for many years and had built up her own power. Her father had already risen to the rank of second-grade official and was also a marquis. If she had been able to properly educate Chen Zhaoche, he wouldn't have turned into such a scoundrel, desperately protecting a woman of low social status.

Before long, Yao Feiran's health improved, and she began to study in the Imperial Study with the princes and princesses of the harem. Chen Zhaoche also went with her.

The Second Prince chuckled and said, "It seems Fourth Sister is much better now. Will she come to her archery class?"

"Of course, Second Brother."

The second prince is the son of Consort Shu. He appears to be elegant and refined, and quite capable. However, due to the strong aura of the female lead, the husband she chose is the crown prince.

During Yao Feiran's archery class, the teacher specially gave her a light bow.

The fourth prince scoffed, "Fourth sister is frail; don't push yourself. Otherwise, you'll have to trouble the imperial physician again!"

Princess Yao Feiran usually ranked last in archery class, and she never expected the Fourth Prince to mock her.

The fourth prince is the future emperor and a man of great destiny. Because Lu Shuyun chose him as her husband, he was placed on the throne.

In the original story, the fourth prince was already an adult. In order to show his high status, he was naturally cold and aloof, leaving his backyard empty, and he had always secretly liked Lu Shuyun.

The current Fourth Prince doesn't seem as composed. He was originally Consort Ning's child, and Chen Zhaoche was adopted by Consort Ning. After Consort Ning's death, the Fourth Prince became marginalized, but when Chen Zhaoche returned to Consort De's side, their circumstances reversed instantly.

"Teacher, I want it to be heavier, I want to hit the target."

Teacher Qi paused for a moment, then quickly said, "The bow and arrow are too heavy and have too much draw weight. It would be bad if they hurt Her Highness."

"It's alright, let her give it a try."

A man in yellow clothes walked towards her. Yao Feiran looked up and saw a middle-aged man smiling at her.

He was the emperor, the original owner's father.

"Father, it's been so long since I've seen you. I miss you so much."

Yao Feiran gave an innocent look and ran over to hug the emperor's leg.

Reversal of Fate Beads: ...To be honest, this coquettish way of acting is kind of disgusting.

The emperor's expression was even more radiant. If a concubine said such things to him, he would only be wary of her insincerity, but what could his youngest daughter be thinking when she said these words? She must really like her father.

Yao Feiran boosted the emperor's favorability, and then 20 jin of bows and arrows were delivered.

The emperor instructed, "Feiran, don't push yourself. If you can't pull it apart, give up. Don't hurt your arm."

The next second, Yao Feiran had already shot the arrow. With a whoosh, the arrow landed steadily in the center of the target.

The surrounding princes were all stunned.

"Well done, you've really given me a pleasant surprise." The emperor's eyes widened in astonishment. Yao Feiran was only six years old, yet she could draw a bow and arrow that only adult princes over ten years old could draw. The Great Qi Dynasty was known for its bravery and warlike nature, so it naturally placed great importance on martial arts.

The fourth prince had a gloomy face. He knew that Yao Feiran was doing it on purpose. He had also shot at the same target, but only on the seventh ring. Compared to his younger sister, he seemed inferior.

The Fate-Defying Bead: "The male protagonist has already marked you as an enemy."

Yao Feiran was speechless: "He's the one who started this! He was the one who mocked me first."

Because Yao Feiran gained face in front of the emperor this time, the emperor also took notice of Chen Zhaoche.

"This must be Zhao Che. I heard you haven't been to the study for a while."

Chen Zhaoche looked frightened and even took a few steps back.

Yao Feiran said, "Third Brother has been spending a lot of time with his daughter. Seeing that she was lonely, he studied with her. Now he can recite the Three Character Classic fluently and understand its true meaning."

The emperor's previously indifferent gaze softened slightly, and he smiled, "I've always seen you as quiet and reserved, but I didn't expect you to be so protective of your sister."

The emperor then tested Chen Zhaoche's literary skills. Although Chen Zhaoche was timid, he was indeed very knowledgeable and managed to answer the questions correctly, albeit with some difficulty.

The emperor went to Consort De's palace in high spirits, and this time Yao Feiran and Chen Zhaoche stole the show.

This was the first time Chen Zhaoche had been praised by the emperor. He had previously thought that this younger sister would be difficult to get along with, but she turned out to be completely different from what he had imagined. He stared blankly at Yao Feiran and said softly, "Thank you."

Yao Feiran didn't say anything. Chen Zhaoche's gloomy personality was something he had developed since childhood. She wondered if he would still go astray after Consort De and the Emperor changed their attitudes.

After returning to the palace, Yao Feiran sent Chen Zhaoche away and said, "Mother, Third Brother is so pitiful."

"What's wrong?" Consort De said irritably, "Going to shoot arrows without a word, you've gotten quite bold."

"My daughter is in good health now and will be able to stay with her mother for a long time to come."

Consort De was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile she had never shown before.

"Third Brother used to be neglected by Consort Ning because Fourth Brother was Consort Ning's son. I heard that Third Brother sometimes didn't even have enough to eat, which explains why he sometimes behaved strangely. Last time, he threw the cricket at me because he wanted my daughter to play with him."

Consort De was instantly moved with compassion. She had rejected this son because Consort Ning had always targeted her and even adopted her child. This incident had left her with a lingering resentment. Although Consort Ning had passed away, she still felt that the child was biased towards Consort Ning.

But these words helped to ease some of her inner turmoil.

The next day, Yao Feiran met Lu Shuyun, the apple of the Lu family's eye, whom even the Empress Dowager doted on.

Chen Zhaoche, standing next to Yao Feiran, noticed her staring blankly at Lu Shuyun and asked curiously, "Fourth Sister, why are you staring at that girl?"
