Chapter 474 The Female Supporting Character Who Was Reborn as a Female Cannon Fodder 19

Sheng Huan was taken out of the dinner by the palace maids. The farther they went from the palace, the more the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras seemed to be blocked by something, becoming vague and indistinct. All that could be heard was a little wind in the night, which made people shiver with cold.

"Girl, the changing room is in front."

The maid said politely: "Young lady, bear with it for a while. A maid will come with your clothes in a while."

When attending a palace banquet, every lady from aristocratic family would prepare an extra set of clothes and keep them in the carriage, so that they could change in time if an accident happened. Maids from outside the palace were not allowed to come in during the banquet and had to stay in the carriage. If clothes were needed, a palace maid would go and get them.

"Yeah." Sheng Huan nodded. Even though her clothes were wet, she still didn't look embarrassed. She asked casually, "What's the girl's name?"

The maid replied in a low voice: "My servant Bai Tao."

As they turned a corner, the light from the lanterns became increasingly dim and yellow, and Sheng Huan could clearly feel the footsteps behind her becoming increasingly lighter. Just as Bai Tao was about to leave, she suddenly turned back.

"Miss Bai Tao, where are you going?"

Bai Tao paused in her movement to retreat and was about to find an excuse when a man in gorgeous robes and with melancholy eyes walked out from the corner in the distance.

Sheng Huan's gaze fell on him. This man was none other than Wang Yeling.

When Bai Tao saw Wang Yeling appear, she quickly retreated.

Wang Yeling stepped forward, bowed with an apologetic look in his eyes, and said, "Miss Gu, I didn't know that the person wasn't you last time. I came here today to apologize to you. I was also kept in the dark by Gu Yuexue. I didn't know her well enough."

"Let the maid wet my clothes and bring me out? How is that an apology?" Sheng Huan stepped back and looked at him coldly, her slender back straightened: "Go away."

"Miss Gu." Wang Yeling was about to step forward again.

Sheng Huan said sternly: "You'd better not come here. This is the imperial palace. Prince Wang doesn't want others to know that he bribed the palace maids."

Wang Yeling looked unhappy.

Sheng Huan ignored him and walked away.

Wang Yeling was anxious. He didn't want to let it go like that. He could clearly see that Sheng Huan disliked him very much, and he couldn't even regain much goodwill from her. He thought his sincere apology would at least be of some use, but he didn't expect her to be so resistant. However, Wang Yeling didn't want to give up the support of the Shangshu Mansion.

Of course, Wang Yeling could also start with Gu Yuexi, but because she slapped him last time, which damaged his self-esteem, he changed his target.

Sheng Huan felt the footsteps behind her getting faster and faster. She was not panicking at all, but at this moment, she knew someone was coming, so she quickened her pace and finally looked panicked.

With a "bang", in the dark night, she bumped into a hard chest. She subconsciously pushed with her hands, but the person in front of her was like sitting on a mountain, motionless, and she was the one who fell down.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a big hand clamped her waist. The hand was thinly calloused, thick and hot, supporting all her weight.

She was pulled back to his chest again. Sheng Huan pressed his hand reflexively, touching her waist and abdomen. Even through the clothes, the outlines were still clear, and people could clearly feel the tight and powerful hormones underneath. It was so perfect that it was shocking.

She seemed to be frozen, her heart beating like a drum.

Di Chengyu saw Sheng Huan rushing towards him. With his skills, there was no way he could avoid her. But he didn't know what he was thinking at that moment. He didn't dodge and let the beautiful girl fall into his arms.

The little lantern was even thinner than he had expected. Under the thick clothes was her waist. She was fragrant and soft, very different from him.

Something seemed to flash across Di Chengyu's deep and narrow eyes, until he felt someone approaching, and he raised his sharp eyes slightly.

The careless indifference seems to be gathering danger again.

When Wang Yeling came over, he saw a man and a woman embracing each other under the lights. The scene was very beautiful, but that man...

He froze on the spot, sweating profusely, and kowtowing when he wanted to speak.

Emperor Chengyu only took one look at him, and then he retreated feeling uneasy. Before leaving, Wang Yeling couldn't believe that the emperor who was not interested in women didn't push away the woman in his arms.

There was a flurry of snow falling, and after just a few seconds, Sheng Huan seemed to come back to his senses and finally raised his head to look at him.

Then, she met a pair of eyes that, even though calm, still couldn't hide their sharpness.

"It's you!"

She struggled, and as their skin touched, her body inevitably moved on him.

Di Chengyu, however, let go of his hand.

"Offensive girl."

But unexpectedly, when both of them wanted to move away, she couldn't because her hair was entangled in the man's clothes. Once she left, her scalp would be torn and hurt.

"Hiss~" She couldn't help but cry out in pain and raised her hand subconsciously.

He lowered his head when he heard the voice and reached out his hand. The moment his fingers touched her, she shrank back and was about to slap her away.

"do not move."

The man frowned slightly, rubbing his fingertips lightly. Why were her hands so cold? Like ice cubes, was she still sick? Seeing the wetness on her cuffs, as if covered with frost, the more he looked at it, the more he felt annoyed.

The woman quickly withdrew her hand and stammered: "My, my hair..."

"It's tangled up on the button, don't panic." The man's voice was low and steady.

He paused, sensing her uneasiness, and added, "No one is around."

She finally stopped moving, but the tension she felt facing the strange man remained.

Di Chengyu lowered his eyes and carefully took the woman's hair off the buttons of his clothes.

The black hair was soft and too thin, with a faint fragrance. I don't know what kind of bath she used.

Thinking of bathing, the scene in Zhuangzi Hot Spring appeared in his mind faster than he reacted. He felt that the black hair was a little hot. He frowned, wondering if he was drunk.

When the man was unbuttoning her hair, everything around her was quiet and the cold wind became more and more distinct, but Sheng Huan didn't feel cold at all. She was surrounded by the man's warm body temperature.

The man was very tall, almost covering her in his arms, and the faint aroma of wine seemed to be intoxicating.

"All right."

When she left his arms, the pink tassels on her head brushed across the man's neck, feeling icy cold, and Di Chengyu's Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Sheng Huan stepped back: "Thank you."

"You're not to thank me." The man looked indifferent.

"Please do as you wish, sir. I'll take my leave." She was obviously a little uncomfortable, with a blush rising from her cheeks, adding a touch of color to her porcelain white skin.

Di Chengyu's eyes flickered: "You are not here to change clothes, do you have someone to lead the way? Or are you not afraid of the dark?"

Sheng Huan’s face froze.

"Come on, come this way."

Sheng Huan hesitated.

"Don't worry, this is the palace, I won't eat you."

The man's voice had a kind of unruly indifference, as if he had no interest in anything.

In the end, she followed him. It was very cold at night. The floor of the white jade steps was covered with a thin layer of snow. Snowflakes fell on her eyelashes and her breath came out with white smoke. She was not wearing a cloak and her ears were frozen red from the cold. The scenery in front of her eyes became blurry.

It was not until a black cloak was pressed down on her that she looked up in confusion.

"Put it on."

The man walked aside, strolling leisurely. White snow fluttered down on him, but he didn't even frown. He was like a king in the snow. His actions were so natural, as if they were no big deal. This made Sheng Huan a little confused, and he subconsciously tightened his cloak.

The black cloak was very big and long, wrapping the little person in it. She looked at him in confusion, as if she was a little confused. The furry collar was soft and made her fingertips itchy.

Watching this scene, Di Chengyu felt a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before.

That kind of satisfaction was completely different from the feeling of defeating the Regent or winning the battle. It was an itchy, inexplicable feeling, and Emperor Chengyu fell into deep thought, which was rare for him.

Until a palace came into view.

"Go in, I'll have the maid take you back to the banquet later."

The emperor stopped.

Sheng Huan pursed her lips, looked at him, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for seeing me off today."

When she smiled, she had dimples on her cheeks, looking very sweet, and her eyes were sparkling.
