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

After Song Jingning arrived, Mu Jinglin dismissed the servants behind the screen and said, "I am preparing to abdicate and become the Retired Emperor."

Her expression changed: "Your Majesty, you are still in good health, why do you want to abdicate so early?"

"Over the years, I have delegated power to the Crown Prince, and he has done a good job. All the ministers in the court have praised him. It just so happens that I can stay with you and Yue'er from now on."

Yue'er is Mu Linzheng's only daughter, and also his daughter born late in life. She was bestowed with countless gifts upon birth, traveled with the same entourage as a prince, and did not perform the rites of a subject before the crown prince and other princes. Her future descendants will have titles and stipends.

He gave Mu Ningyue almost all the glory he could.

Song Jingning's eyes reddened slightly: "Your Majesty, I am unwilling. I do not wish for the Crown Prince to become Emperor. He is unworthy!"

No one remembers the outrageous things Mu Qingyan did back then, but she still does.

Mu Linzheng's gaze was calm yet cold: "When you chose me, you should have known this day would come. I will not abandon the country and its people for a woman."

"No, no, how could this be?"

She shook her head, her face showing despair. Although she had married the emperor out of spite, she secretly felt that she would gain more. How come Mu Qingyan became the emperor instead?

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are now living in perfect harmony, and Mu Qingyan is about to become Emperor.

In the end, she could only watch helplessly as the crown prince succeeded.

Song Jingning turned and left excitedly.

Mu Linzheng knew that she had never held a grudge. Now that the Fifth Prince was grown up, Ning'er wanted her son to become the Crown Prince.

He had briefly considered it, but quickly dismissed it.

Deposing the crown prince could affect the court and easily destabilize the country.

The crown prince has already gained momentum.

"It seems I really have to abdicate."

Otherwise, Ning'er will one day become unrecognizable.

For a while afterward, Song Jingning ignored Mu Linzheng.

Mu Linzheng directly announced his abdication in the court, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne. The court officials made a symbolic attempt to persuade him to stay, and soon it was all done in a natural way.

Song Jingning was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort.

Song Jingning cried out, "Mu Linzheng, you knew the Empress didn't like me, yet you abdicated so early. How am I supposed to face this?"

"Ning'er, don't worry, I will take you away from here. As long as I live, I will protect you. Even if I have a child one day, I will arrange everything properly."

Song Jingning simply couldn't believe it and cried even harder.

Afterwards, Yao Xufeng successfully ascended the throne. Just as Yao Xufeng had completed his coronation, the two talked about matters alone.

Song Jingning suddenly rushed in.

He slapped Yao Xufeng across the face.

"Anyway, I'm leaving. You hurt me so badly back then, but you're doing so well now. Consider this slap you owe me."

Yao Xufeng was stunned. He was already the emperor, yet he had been slapped in the face, and the other party was an elder. He couldn't fight back at all.

Yao Feiran suppressed the smile on her lips. Song Jingning had been feeling very aggrieved since marrying into the family because her enemies were doing better and better. However, she was just the kind of person who was weak and didn't dare to lay a hand on anyone in the palace. If it weren't for the plot, Mu Qingyan would never have suffered any retribution. This slap was probably because she had been holding back for too long and couldn't hold back any longer.

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, you actually deserve it."

Song Jingning retorted fiercely, "What makes you say that!"

"Qingyan said before that the Emperor Emeritus gave you a chance to leave, but you brought it on yourself by insisting on staying by Qingyan's side, trying to move her and allowing him to hurt you so many times. You insisted on degrading yourself, so who can you blame?"

Song Jingning paused, recalling the first time she was punished by Mu Qingyan to kneel because of Song Yuewan. At the palace banquet, Mu Linzheng asked her if she was willing to leave, and she refused.

Even after being wounded all over, she never thought of leaving. In the end, in order to take revenge on Mu Qingyan, she seduced Mu Linzheng.

Now they want to force Mu Linzheng and Mu Qingyan to become enemies.

Mu Qingyan may have made mistakes, but she brought it all upon herself.

Song Jingning felt as if all her strength had vanished.

"Cherish the person in front of you. Although Mu Linzheng is a bit old, he is still handsome. He has given you everything. Do you think he abdicated because he didn't want to be emperor anymore? If he wasn't forced, why would a man give up power?"

Song Jingning's eyes held something. She looked up at Yao Feiran, while the new emperor stood beside her with a respectful expression.

Her eyes trembled slightly, as if she understood something, and she staggered away, preparing to leave.

"If you still haven't let go after thirty years, you can come and ask me. You might be pleasantly surprised."

Mu Linzheng took Song Jingning to a city in the south. The city was nestled against the mountains and by the water, and had many scholars. Poetry banquets were often held there.

"In the palace, I cannot give you the status of a principal wife, but I hope that we can be an ordinary couple in the future, and you will be my only wife."

After the dust settled, Song Jingning had calmed down considerably. She said softly, "Okay."

After he had some free time, Mu Linzheng simply started an academy, exempting students from poor families from tuition fees. Song Jingning also became the academy's head steward, and in her busy work, she watched as many people's destinies were changed because of their studies.

My mind gradually calmed down.

Their daughter would often come to visit them, and they lived like an ordinary couple.

As the only daughter of the retired emperor, Mu Ningyue received several layers of honor from Yao Feiran. Moreover, she discovered that the Heavenly Dao had abandoned the male and female protagonists, and Mu Ningyue had actually become the female protagonist.

She also saw the top-scoring male protagonist, Zhang Wangxing, who was handsome and dashing, and was the prince consort chosen by Mu Ningyue.

"Princess, are you sure you want to choose him as your husband?"

"Yes, I beg Mother to grant my request."

Yao Feiran could tell that the male lead probably wouldn't do well in the future, but she wasn't familiar with Mu Ningyue, so she could only call Song Jingning over. After meeting Zhang Wangxing, Song Jingning didn't see anything wrong with him and agreed.

On their wedding day, the procession stretched for miles in red, and for the next ten years, no wedding in the capital was ever as grand as this.

After a while, Yao Feiran realized something was wrong. She had all the big and small affairs in the capital under her control, so she naturally discovered that Zhang Wangxing had started to cause trouble.

Mu Ningyue has to deal with a troublesome mother-in-law, a cousin with no boundaries, and the indecisive Zhang Wangxing.

Zhang Wangxing's mother-in-law actually wanted Zhang Wangxing to marry his niece as a concubine.

The Heavenly Dao consciousness of this world really seems to have a penchant for tragic stories.

Yao Feiran asked Afu in confusion, "Did the Great Zhou Dynasty have such a thing as a secondary wife?"

"Your Majesty, a wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine. There is no such thing as an equal wife."

Now, both Afu and Pearl are determined to stay in the palace and do not want to get married.

Yao Feiran didn't ask any more questions. Mu Ningyue was the eldest princess, and her parents were still alive. No one could hurt her unless they couldn't stand up for themselves.

However, Yao Fei still kindly reminded Song Jingning.

She did indeed rush back that very night.
