Male Supporting Role Is Not a Stepping Stone

Chapter 179 Female Supreme Yuanjun 2 (1/2)

    Xianqing has never suffered so much in his life. Although he was not from a high family background and his mother was only a sixth-grade official, his family was relatively well-off and his mother was not someone who favored girls over boys, so his life has been rough. Living a good life.

    After he entered the palace, he gained the favor of the emperor, and was protected by her like an eyeball. She was afraid that he would be jealous of the people in the harem if he was favored, so she specially set up a royal minister to act as a shield in front of her, fearing that his status would be low. He will be idle and try to find ways to promote him without attracting attention.

    The ministers in the palace were envious of the emperor's favor all day long. They filled Ningyun Palace with precious jewelry and clothing, and recounted how arrogant and domineering he was relying on the emperor's favor. Only he knew in his heart that everything was just an illusion.

    Huang Guiqing was just trying to protect him from disaster. No one knew that the rare treasures in Yiren Palace were no less than those in Ningyun Palace. The things in Huang Guiqing's house were just leftovers he picked out.

    He was waiting calmly for the emperor to join forces with the prime minister to regain military power. When the time came, Cen Yangyan would give up his position as Yuan Jun, and that idiot Yu Shuwen would lose his usefulness. This respected position would be his.

    But Xianqing never expected that Cen Yangyan, who had always been dull and ignorant of world affairs, suddenly became enlightened and exposed the emperor's well-hidden things in front of all the ministers, making Yu Shuwen suspicious.

    Although he knew in his heart that Yu Shuwen was just a shield, his status was that of a real royal noble. On the surface, he was extremely favored and held the Phoenix Seal, so everyone in the palace naturally listened to him.

    When Xianqing was pinned down and kneeling in the bloody water, she hoped that the emperor would come to save her. However, with the advice of his personal attendant, no one in the palace dared to act rashly.

    Cold water was poured on him, and soon he felt a bone-chilling cold. The cold made his upper and lower teeth chatter, and he wanted to faint immediately, but he did not dare to faint.

    That man Yu Shuwen was very cruel. He gave an order to pour cold water on him whenever he fainted. Before, he pretended to be faint and was poured cold water on him within a moment. If he did this twice, would he still need all the bones in his body?

    True to the words, "The sky is not responding, the earth is not working." Xianqing was tortured to the point of despair. Fortunately, God has eyes. At this time, the princess came to the palace to visit her father.

    In the past, he didn't like his daughter getting close to that man Cen Yangyan. He was clearly her biological father, but he could only watch helplessly as she called another man her father. However, the emperor patiently coaxed him and persuaded him that he didn't have to endure it for too long. , he felt better.

    But this time when he saw the Crown Princess coming to Quanyang Palace, he didn't feel jealous at all. Instead, he was full of surprises, because he knew that he could finally be saved.

    Sure enough, her daughter's eyes were filled with heartache when she saw him like this. After asking about what happened, she said angrily that she would ask Yuan Jun to make the decision for him.

    Xianqing knew how much Cen Yangyan, a man, loved the Crown Princess and never refused her request, so his heart instantly stabilized and he even looked forward to the confrontation between Yuan Jun and Huang Guiqing.

    He disliked both of these men very much. One was so ugly that no one wanted to take a second look, but he dominated the position of Yuanjun because of his good background. The other was arrogant and beautiful, and was arrogant and domineering based on the emperor's favor.

    In short, it's not a good thing, so they'd better fight to the death!

    Unfortunately, to his disappointment, after a while, only the Crown Princess came out of the palace with anger in her eyes. Xianqing's eyes widened and he did not see the man Cen Yangyan.

    "Father refuses to stand up," the Crown Princess walked straight to him, looking at the two servants guarding him with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes, "Don't worry, I will go and ask Mother to help you." host."

    After all, she was still a child, so she couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw her father suffering, and she ignored the emperor's instructions to her, which was to keep a distance from her biological father in public, so as not to arouse suspicion.

    However, Xianqing knew the importance and quickly persuaded in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted. I have thanked you for your kindness, but after all, I am just an insignificant person and it is not worthy of Your Majesty to work for me."

    After receiving his hidden reminder, the princess finally became clearer. However, she could not just leave her biological father alone, so she followed his words and said: "You were punished in Quanyang Palace, and you also slapped my father's face. This matter Gu Huan must be taken care of!"

    After saying that, he turned around and left angrily. A large number of palace servants and servants hurriedly followed. Huang Guiqing's people dared to stop the servants from asking for help, but they did not dare to stop the princess of a country. They could only watch them helplessly. People left in great numbers.

    The clever one reacted immediately and hurriedly whispered to his companion: "Just keep an eye on it, I'll go ask the emperor." Then he hurried to Ningyun Palace.

    What happened outside the palace quickly reached Yang Yan's ears. He patted the waiter who was stunned by the sudden news and said, "Come on, come watch the show with me."

    Ru Liu wiped away her tears and gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I want to see how dog bites dog those people who are so wolf-hearted."

    "Go wash your face first and calm down your emotions!" Yang Yan said helplessly, "If you walk out like this, anyone can tell that something is wrong."

    Ru Liu obediently went to wash up and tidy up. When she came out again, her face had returned to calm, but there was still a faint evil spirit in the corners of her eyes.

    Yang Yan did not insist that he should not reveal any trace. If that were the case, he would not tell these things to the careless little attendant. Anyway, as long as Cen Geng still holds the military power in his hands, the Dog Emperor will Don't dare to do anything to him.

    Moreover, he could see Le Xiaoyu's way of throwing herself into confusion after guessing that he might know the inside story. The Dog Emperor treated the original owner like a fool and kept her from being frightened for a while. It would be difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.

    "Your Highness," while he was leisurely waiting for the protagonist to come on stage to sing the big show, Heliu couldn't help but ask what he had been holding back for a while, "Aren't you angry? The emperor did that to you and the concubine. "How much effort have you put into educating her over the years."

    "What's the use of being angry?" Yang Yan shook his head, "Being angry is just punishing yourself for other people's faults. If I just keep my head down and get angry, those two scumbag women and men, Yu Le, Xiao Yu and Qi Ziqian, won't have any influence at all. It will only make me unhappy."

    "Marshal will definitely avenge you!" Heliu said bitterly, "If it weren't for Marshal's strong support, how would she, Le Xiaoyu, an unloved princess born of a humble servant in the palace, have the chance to ascend to the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan? Bit?"

    "It was she who came to ask for marriage and swore that she would be good to His Highness all her life, so the marshal could trust you and hand you over to her. How long did it take for her to break her promise and reveal her true colors?"

    When he thought about what happened back then, he felt extremely remorseful and blamed himself: "It's a shame that I praised her sincerity and called her a good match in front of His Highness. I really blinded my eyes!"

    "How can I blame you?" Yang Yan patted his shoulder comfortingly, "I was too stupid to believe her lies, thinking that she was really one of the few women in the world who didn't care about her appearance. It turned out that she was actually related to Other women are no different."

    "Your Highness is not stupid!" He Liu, the protector of the Lord, said anxiously, "It's Le Xiaoyu who is so good at pretending. Not to mention you, weren't the slaves and even the marshal also deceived by her?"

    Yang Yan chuckled and stopped arguing with him. Regardless of whether he was stupid or not, the original owner had already paid the price for his mistakes, so there was no need to discuss the rights and wrongs.

    At this time, he heard some noise coming from outside, and winked at He Liu. The two of them stopped talking in a tacit agreement. After a while, he heard the voices of the waiters and palace servants greeting them, and soon a tall woman Just walked in.

    Yang Yan's height is already considered tall among both men and women in this world, but she is a little taller, almost 1.9 meters tall by visual inspection, but she does not give people a strong feeling.

    She has a slender waist and long legs, and a well-proportioned figure. Her gorgeous face is tightly stretched, and her bright yellow robe swings out with her steps, and a powerful aura is approaching.

    If the original owner had been here, I am afraid that he would have stepped forward to greet her nervously the moment she entered the door, but Yang Yan still leaned on the chair and apologized very insincerely, saying: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, today I’m feeling a little unwell, so I won’t get up to greet you.”

    A trace of anger flashed in Le Xiaoyu's eyes, but she suppressed it. She sat on the chair beside him and said curiously: "How come I heard that Aiqing was fine in the morning? It's only been a day." Are you sick? Have you ever asked a doctor?"

    "It's not necessary," Yang Yan said lazily, "I'm just lazy, it's nothing serious. I just need to lie down and rest for a while." In the end, as if to confirm his words, he covered his head with his hands. He yawned.

    "You..." Le Xiaoyu was obviously shocked by his behavior and looked at him with doubtful eyes.

    Yang Yan knew what she was surprised about. The original owner had always been very inferior to his appearance. From the day the two met, he had always placed himself in a relatively humble position. He responded to her requests and never dared to neglect.

    Now he clearly stated that he was just too lazy to greet her. It could be said that he didn't take her seriously. How could he not make her think more about it?

    Perhaps it was because he was so different from usual, Le Xiaoyu couldn't figure out for a moment what kind of trouble he was making. The anger in his eyes almost turned into substance, and he actually endured it without having an attack.

    The brief silence between the two was quickly broken by Xianqing who walked in later. He looked very miserable, his hair was wet and disheveled, and his face was white and blue in the cold autumn wind.

    Almost all of his body was soaked with cold water, and the thick cloak became even heavier after being soaked in water. It weighed heavily on his thin shoulders, making people worry that it would crush his small body.

    "My servants bow to the emperor and pay their respects to His Highness Yuanjun." He knelt down unsteadily and saluted, his body trembling uncontrollably.

    "Without any courtesy." Le Xiaoyu hurriedly called him up almost as soon as he squatted down. Although there was no change in her face, if you look closely, you can see the distress in her eyes.

    window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail-300x250' , target_type: 'mix' });

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." Xianqing's voice was choked with sobs, and he swayed weakly when he stood up, which frightened the emperor. He almost couldn't help but rush over to pick him up.

    "Please take a seat." Le Xiaoyu hardened her heart and turned her head away from him. She happened to see Yuanjun next to her with a look of indifference. The evil fire in her heart could no longer be suppressed. She asked with a bit of anger, "As Yuanjun, how can you watch the palace arbitrarily commit lynching?"

    "Your Majesty's words are really incomprehensible," Yang Yan replied slowly, "The one who gave the order was your favorite Huang Guiqing, and you didn't ask him but blamed me."

    After being retorted by him, Le Xiaoyu felt relieved in her heart. She consciously understood the reason why he was so abnormal today-perhaps he was jealous of her doting on Huang Guiqing too much.

    Then she couldn't help but laugh at him for not knowing himself. Although she didn't like Yu Shuwen, at least she had a pretty face. With Cen Yangyan looking like this, did he want to monopolize her?

    Although she was disdainful, her plan had not been completed yet, and Cen Geng had not taken back the military power. It was not the time to turn against him yet.

    Le Xiaoyu softened her voice and coaxed, "Yan'er, are you blaming me for favoring Huang Guiqing too much? Didn't I tell you that? You are my Empress Yuanjun. No matter who I favor in this palace, you will never be better than me."

    Yang Yan was shocked by the word "Yan'er". The hair on his arms and back stood up, and he got goose bumps. He couldn't help rubbing his hands and said, "The emperor can favor whoever he likes. I don't have the patience to care."

    "You are talking in anger again," Le Xiaoyu smiled knowingly and said, "You are the head of the harem. All the servants are under your command. If you don't care, who will care?"

    Without waiting for him to answer, she continued to talk to herself, "So, Huang Guiqing did something wrong this time. I gave him the Phoenix Seal to manage because you were unwell. Now that you have recovered, I will ask him to return the Phoenix Seal. All the affairs of the palace should be handed over to Yuanjun. I will feel relieved."

    Before Yang Yan had time to speak, he was interrupted by someone who appeared outside the palace.

    "Your Majesty..." Huang Guiqing glared at him fiercely, then looked at the woman in the palace, her beautiful eyes tearing up, "Did your servant do anything wrong?"

    The tearful look of the beauty was heartbreaking enough. Le Xiaoyu stood up as if bewitched, and couldn't help but walk to him and hold his hand, saying with heartache: "Don't cry, my dear, you are not wrong..."

    She glanced at Yang Yan implicitly, letting the man see the embarrassment in her eyes just right, "But the Phoenix Seal should have been held by Yuan Jun, and the ancestral rules cannot be broken, please bear with it, my dear."

    Her behavior immediately pulled the hatred to Yang Yan, and Huang Guiqing "understood" in an instant that the emperor had to do it because he was concerned about Cen Geng.

    Even thinking deeper, why did Cen Yangyan suddenly say those words today? This might be his conspiracy, leading Xianqing to him, making him lose his mind and take action, and then making trouble in front of the emperor, taking the opportunity to take back the Phoenix Seal.

    This man usually looks calm, but he would do anything to achieve his goal. It's a pity that he usually behaves too well, and she didn't guard against it at all. Because she cares too much about the emperor, she accidentally fell into his calculation.

    Huang Guiqing felt sick in her heart, but she couldn't bear to embarrass her beloved woman, so she had to say: "Your Majesty, don't say anything more. It's just the Phoenix Seal. Since Yuanjun wants it, I will send someone to deliver it in a while."

    At the same time, he glared at the man with a normal face, secretly cursing him for pretending. Isn't it just relying on the military power in his mother's hands? Unfortunately, he didn't know that the emperor had lost patience with Cen Geng a long time ago, and sooner or later he would uproot their Cen family. Let's see how arrogant this man is!

    Seeing his face change, Le Xiaoyu was very satisfied. The ownership of a Phoenix Seal took away her beloved man cleanly, and intensified the conflict between Yuanjun and Huang Guiqing.

    Moreover, Yu Shuwen would definitely contact his mother afterwards and urge her to step up her efforts to deal with Cen Geng, and Cen Yangyan's attention would be drawn to Huang Guiqing, and he would not pay attention to other things, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

    She calculated very well, but unfortunately not all the chess pieces she thought would go according to her ideas.

    After watching their performance, Yang Yan said lazily: "No need, Your Majesty, I have been lazy recently and I am impatient to deal with these things. Let's leave the Phoenix Seal with Huang Guiqing!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, the six eyes of the three people in the hall all fell on him, and their eyes were all very uniformly stunned and puzzled.

    "Cen Yangyan, I have agreed to return the Phoenix Seal to you, what tricks do you want to play?" Huang Guiqing said first with dissatisfaction, and at the same time asked Le Xiaoyu's thoughts.

    She and Yu Shuwen had the same idea, thinking that Yuanjun was dissatisfied with her favoritism to Huang Guiqing, so he made today's incident, and as for Xianqing, he was just deliberately pulled out to make a raft.

    Le Xiaoyu was confident that what she did was secretive enough, and Cen Yangyan could not possibly find out that she actually loved Qi Ziqian, otherwise he would not have reacted this way, and he would have probably made a scene long ago.

    Now she has shown that she values ​​him as a Yuanjun very much, and even gave him the Phoenix Seal back. Since his goal has been achieved, why is he still unwilling to stop?

    Is he still not satisfied and wants more?

    Le Xiaoyu's disgust for him deepened a little bit, it's okay that he is ugly, but he is also greedy, which is really annoying.

    As for Xianqing Qi Ziqian, his thoughts are much simpler. He simply knows the rights represented by the Phoenix Seal. In this harem, the Phoenix Seal controls the power of life and death over all the servants and palace servants, as well as all the ministers. expenses.

    No one dared to be disrespectful to the emperor before. Even the ministers fawned over him all day long. Wasn't it just because he had the Phoenix Seal in his hand?

    Yu Shuwen had to give in because of the emperor's order, but why did Yuanjun still refuse to accept it because of Qiao? Wasn't he afraid that the emperor would take it back in anger?

    Xianqing wished that he could take charge of the Phoenix Seal, but unfortunately he knew very well that even if the emperor really handed it over to him, his family background would only attract the jealousy of everyone in the palace, and he would not be able to hold it at all.

    Huang Guiqing would not allow it, and Yuan Jun could not tolerate it even more.

    Yang Yan took in the expressions of several people and felt funny in his heart. Le Xiaoyu, a scumbag, deliberately supported Yu Shuwen to fight with the original owner in order to divert the attention of everyone in the palace.

    A mere phoenix seal would be kept by the original owner for a while, and then handed over to the emperor's hands, treating them like dogs, hanging up bones and playing with them.

    However, the two of them were not aware of his plan at all, and they were instigated by her to deepen their resentment. They regarded each other as the enemy in the palace, but Xianqing was allowed to stay calm and detached, and finally won the victory easily, and in return. Come and laugh at them.

    "It's just a phoenix seal. Is there any need to play tricks?" He said in a funny tone, "Your Majesty, just keep it if you like it."

    "You -" Yu Shuwen felt that he was being looked down upon. He cherished things that he would not let go of, but the other party acted indifferently. Wasn't he just showing that he looked down on himself?

    What he hated the most in his life was Cen Yangyan. This man had a grand marshal mother who, despite being so ugly, took advantage of him. The emperor clearly only had himself in his heart, but he had to make excuses with him.

    "Do you think I care about it?" He was so angry that he spoke eloquently, "It's just a phoenix seal. Who cares about it? If you hadn't been sick and about to die before, the emperor was afraid that something would happen in the palace and entrusted it to me. Palace, I don’t want to accept it!”

    "So you don't want it?" Yang Yan was not angry at him for cursing himself to death, but said with some distress, "But I don't want it either! There are so many things in the palace, it's too tiring to take care of them."

    "What should we do?" He looked at the man sitting next to him, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Then why not leave it to Xian Qing to take care of it!"

    The eyes of everyone in the hall were immediately focused on Xianqing, who had been trying to reduce his presence. His heart was pounding. He really wanted it, but he knew very well that he must not accept it.

    He hurriedly knelt down with a plop and said weakly: "I am a servant with few talents and little knowledge. I am afraid that I will not be able to take on such a big responsibility. I would like to ask His Highness Yuan Jun to take back his appointment."

    Only then did Huang Guiqing notice him. Thinking of Yuan Jun's words before, although he had already determined that it was his conspiracy, he was still a little concerned. When he saw his eyes, fire suddenly appeared.

    Xianqing was frightened by his eyes, so he knelt down without any moisture. Le Xiaoyu had a trace of imperceptible heartache in his eyes, but he still had to control it so that the other two men would not notice.

    "Nonsense!" She yelled loudly and attacked Yang Yan, "What do you think of the Phoenix Seal? You can give it to whoever you want? As the Yuanjun of Zhonggong, you are in charge of the Phoenix Seal and manage the palace. It's your duty, how can you arbitrarily push it on others?"

    "Am I sick?" Yang Yan covered his forehead in a fake tone, "Oh! The emperor's voice was so loud that my head started to hurt."

    "Cen Yangyan," Le Xiaoyu's face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face, "What on earth are you playing on me?"

    "Look what the emperor said," Yang Yan said, pressing his head, "As Yuanjun, am I not allowed to even get sick?"

    "Okay, are you sick?" Le Xiaoyu said angrily, "It is my decree that Lord Yuan is not feeling well. From now on, the palace will be closed for rest. No ministers are allowed to come and disturb you."
