《Reincarnated as a Villainess》 Transmigration Monday mornings with no patients were heaven Xi Lanyon thought with sinking deeper into her warm comforter and dreaming about the novel which she read last night till 3 am. After some time, she woke up facing the sinking and gazed at the mirror on which she had attached a note that her best friend was going to a different country and she needed to see her off in 30 minutes. Her mind was still drowsy but after reading the notes 3-4 times she realized what it meant. Her eyes shot wide, wiped her hands on her pajamas and her chin with the sleeve of her top. She went out and took her car and started racing towards the airport and saw that a old women was crossing the road while holding her stomach, being a doctor I stopped my car and went to help her. ¡°Grandma let me help you, I said¡± She looked at me and I saw that her eyes were transparent Before I could react, she placed her thumb on my forehead ¡°You would be perfect, I hope you can protect yourself from the Goblin¡± She said I looked at her dumbfounded what did she even mean by that? And did not realize a truck was coming, I saw the driver who had red eyes and thought was this the goblin she was talking about I was hit by the truck and while closing her eyes she only remembered the novel in which I had the same name as the villainess. ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why has she not woken up yet?¡± The lady¡¯s maid started changing towel to massage her body with a cold towel to decrease her temperature she was burning with fever after she was pushed into the river by her second sister She thought that she was dead and imagined that she would have lots of food without getting fat but why was she able to hear voices. She felt very tired and her throat was also very dry. She opened her eyes slowly and was able to see a thin girl massaging her toes with a cold towel, why is she so thin? Isn¡¯t there any food here She started seeing where she was, saw that everything was white, the bed in which she was laying, beside her bed there was a small wardrobe Is this the place where she stays, my old poor hostel room was better than this. I don¡¯t want to stay here ¡°Princess Xi Lanyon you are awake¡± The thin girl beside her said with tears in her eyes Is this heaven? Where I am treated as a princess, I feel my earth life was better than heaven Did the grandma help me to reach heaven, I don¡¯t have any idea what she meant by protecting myself from the Goblin This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. I saw that my arms were white, have I turned pretty as well I wanted to see a mirror and removed the blanket and got up Woah did I get thin as well though I was not fat in my previous life as well but this is like malnutrition ¡°What are you doing princess¡± seeing me getting up the thin girl rushed up to me I looked at the mirror and saw that I had silver hair with such delicate and stunning features, I was pale white I started remembering the novel which I have been hooked from the last month and started remembering that the villain also had silver hair No no I do not think that is true, is she the maid who was very loyal to the villainess and helped her even in her last moments, ¡°Shen Mia¡± ¡°Yes Princess Xi Lanyon, do you want any water¡± Now I was very sure that I have transmigrated into the novel where Xi Lanyon was the main villain of the novel who was raised by her step mother and father was treated badly and she was going to be engaged to the crown prince which her mother set up before dying. But the crown prince loved her younger sister Xi Raye because she was more prettier and gave all the gifts to her younger sister because she was younger than her. She was embarrassed because all the people made fun of her and thought that her younger sister will be a better queen that her. Xi Lanyon was jealous of her younger sister after hearing what everyone used to say so she tried to push her younger sister in the pool when she was going to meet the crown prince so that she can meet him in front of all the people and tell people she is also good as her second sister. But unfortunately as she tried to push her younger sister she only fell in the pool and her younger sister met the crown prince Even on her birthday her father convinced her to ask the emperor to raise her second sister¡¯s title from concubine¡¯s daughter to Princess Xi Raye. And during that party itself the crown prince announced his divorce with Xi Lanyon and wanted to marry his younger sister Xi Raye. But Xi Raye begged the crown prince to take Xi Lanyon as a concubine which made Xi think of her younger sister as an angel. Her father was the governor and currently handling all the finances for the imperial palace for the emperor. He was a corrupt governor and always wanted to rise high. For her Father¡¯s love she did many things like looking into the documents, tried to influence the crown price for a better position for his father which all made the crown prince angrier. And her second sister aka the empress always acted sweetly and asked her not to do these things. Afterwards they treated her more as a prisoner she was treated as a maid for her second sister, where she was not fed properly and always used to take blame for her father¡¯s faults and her second sister as an angel used to cover it up which was noticed by the crown prince and made him more angrier towards the villainess and sweeter towards her sister. Afterwards she was made bled to death in front of the whole empire because she tried to kill her second sister aka the queen. Thinking about the story made Xi Lanyon shiver she wanted a peaceful life; she was one of the famous Chinese doctors in a previous life who had to save so many lives where she did not even get time for herself. Thinking back, she knew she wanted a peaceful life away from all this drama and live happily. Ancient Era ¡°Princess, are you okay, why are you not replying¡± the thin maid stared at her mistress who was lost in her own thoughts, when she was not awake no one was calling her a doctor while her second sister was only splashed with some water on her face the imperial doctor was called to check up on her but no one for her mistress ¡°I am okay Shen Mia; can I get some water please¡± She knew that today was the Banquet where her father will ask the emperor to raise her second sisters title and her step mother gave her a very dull yellow dress with so many ornaments that she wore all which made the crown prince hate her more. ¡°I Begged and cried to the mistress to call you a doctor but she said that you will get fine¡± Shen Mia started telling her what happened that she went to the head maid but no one helped her and told her that her stepmother sent the dress and the ornaments and gave her a red tea Xi Lanyon started drinking tea and ¡°Spat, what bullshit drink is this, ewww my tongue feels so bitter¡± Xi Lanyon started patting her tongue trying to remove the taste of the tea Shen Mia was shocked to hear so bad words from her lady ¡°You shouldn¡¯t use so bad words lady it doesn¡¯t suit the ladies, but where did you even learn this word¡± Shen Mia forgot what the mistress said about the tea all her focus was on the bad word that she used. Hearing her maid¡¯s words Xi Lanyon remember that it was the old era not the modern era where she cannot use bad words ¡°I just heard it from the local when I went outside, can I have something to eat before we get ready¡± Xi Lanyon said while moving her hands on her stomach Shen Mia was shocked to see her mistress doing these things which a lady should not do but she did not say anything and went to bring her food She brought back the food and saw her lady sitting on the floor and patting beside her ¡°Come sit let¡¯s have a meal together¡± This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. Shen Mia never thought that her lady will tell her to have a meal together she always used to miss meals or tried to sit together with her family where they always used to ignore her They never used to wait for her meals ¡°It¡¯s not good for a maid to have food with her mistress¡± Shen Mia said while she started serving the princess her food ¡°Please Shen Mia come and have a meal, first only my family ignore me, I thought you are my true Friend and won¡¯t ignore my wishes¡± Xi Lanyon said because she really wanted her to sit together to have meals together its boring to have a meal alone In her previous life she sat with the patients or her best friend to have her meals. It was the best time of her day. They started having the meal Xi Lanyon thought that the meal had no spices or anything, it was very simple but still fine. Shen Mia helped her to take bath which she enjoyed very much she never had anyone washing her hair, after bathing she came to her room and checked herself in the mirror Woah she was so pretty she had long silver hair, she was so fair and thing even her facial features were so pretty now she remembered that in the book she was described as a cold hearted beautiful princess now she knows why her stepmother used to hate her, her second sister was not that fair, so she might look prettier that her if she dressed up nicely. Thanks to Shen Mia ¡¯s care there was no change in her face She also used to apply lots of makeup because her stepmother used to say that it made her look more pretty but it only made her look disgusting. She saw the pale yellow dress with so many ornaments that she wore which made the crown prince hate her more. She though wearing too many ornaments made her look like that her family used to love her but it was only a facade. She did not want to impress the crown prince or anyone but she cannot wear this dress. ¡°Shen Mia can you please find me a better dress than this¡± ¡°Apologies my lady this is the most fine dress that you have right now all the other dresses are very thin which you cannot wear to the party¡± Huhh Xi Lanyon was shocked that was she a poor princess or what even after her parents died in her previous life, she still had so many dresses thanks to her warm relatives. Her parents were in army who died in a bomb explosion but all their comrades also helped her to overcome the loss of her parents. "Go and pawn these ornaments also take my older ornaments and bring me a simple elegant dress with a simple hairclip" Shen Mia was shocked but she collected all the ornaments and sold it at the thrift shop. She got around 100 teals of silver through which she purchased a long pink colored gown with a white jade hairpin. Dressing Up Looking at the dress and the hairclip I was pretty much satisfied she had a good choice. I remember Shen Mia was the only one who cried when the villainess died and always used to tell her that her family was her but she always ignored and gave her mean comments. This time I will treat her well and take her with me to my peaceful life. "Good job" I patted Shen Mia''s back and sat on the chair. She was shocked but she gave back the princess her 80 taels of silver which was left. Since I wanted to live a peaceful life I think money is very important so I kept the money in my small wardrobe. Shen Mia was shocked to see that she has changed after she woke up and did not try to make a fool of her. She was happy with the change. And started to get her princess ready for the banquet. ¡°Lady, you look so pretty¡± Shen Mia said and excitedly started making her hair After she saw herself in the mirror she looked so pretty for the first time. And Xi Lanyon knew that she looked very pretty as soon as she was ready the head maid came without knocking on the door wand told her that everyone is waiting for her in the carriage but when the head mistress saw her, she was shocked ¡°Why are you not wearing the dress which mistress sent you¡± the head maid shouted Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. Xi Lanyon was shocked to see a maid behaving like this with her ¡°Who are you to shout at me, get out¡± Xi Lanyon said to the head maid Even in her previous life no one used to shout or used to give her orders like that, being a princess is so bad. I want my previous life back. And started walking towards the Carriage, as soon as stepmother saw me ¡°what are you wearing, where are the ornaments that I sent you¡± My stepmother said while looking up and down at me ¡°The dress was torn and I am not feeling well to wear these many ornaments that is why I wore this¡± saying this I started stepping up in the carriage without caring because I just wanted to head up there soon and have a good feast. "No, you cannot meet the crown prince like this, what will they think of us? go and change we will wait? And why did you not apply any makeup" stepmother said with an angry face. The second sister was looking at me she was pretty but not like me who was heavenly pretty. She was also not wearing any jewellery or anything, and was not saying anything against her mother who kept on criticizing me. I don¡¯t think she was really a good person like everyone thought. ¡°They will think that my mother is not properly treating you¡± my second sister said Ahh she is so petty why did the crown prince like her. "No, we cannot make the emperor wait, let her be what she is looking like" my father said from the front of the carriage without looking at me I think my father is not that bad The carriage ride was pin drop silence no one said anything, stepmother was angry because now her daughter was not able to shine when I looked pretty As soon as we entered the guards announced our name Duke Thomas and his daughter princess Xi Lanyon But did not announce my stepmother¡¯s or daughter name which put a scowl on her name which was noticed by my father ¡°I will give you a name soon, darling¡± father said to my stepmother I felt like puking because as I remember my father gained all his name and property because of my mother who died. And now my stepmother wants to take my mother¡¯s name I won¡¯t let her do this At least I can do this much for the body and give filial piety to her own mother. The Crown Prince The banquet was huge there were chandeliers on the celling there was also such a huge dining table on the side I can¡¯t wait to sit there and be served , then I saw the emperor and empress sitting on the throne while the crown prince on the right side of the emperor woah he looks so hot, I started checking him out from up to down and this was when he stared at me and man I blushed this was not supposed to happen you are not allowed to be so hot.. Obviously the male protagonist is going to be good looking but this is like heavenly beautiful, I think with a wig he can even pass for a girl that is prettier than me I went Beside my father and saw that they curtsied the emperor and the empress copying then I also curtsied them but my body itself moved. I think I still have the traits of old Lanyon. I was happy with myself that at least I don¡¯t have to learn these things. ¡°I hope you are good Xi Wan and so is your daughter Xi Lanyon¡± the emperor asked with a smile ¡°This subject is doing fine emperor; hope you also have a great future prosperous year" these conversations continued while I was so bored I started staring at the empress she did not look like a mother of a teenage son she looked so young even her dress was so pretty what a good choice When she saw me starting at her dress, I kept my eyes down, have heard that if you stare at the royal family they might behead you not sure if this is true or not. ¡°Lady Xi Lanyon, you have turned out to be a pretty young lady which tells me I made a good choice¡± The emperor noticed me getting bored and started the conversation with me. And then he got up and announced "Today on the occasion of my son¡¯s 18th birthday I introduce you guys to the future crown princess Xi Lanyon of governor Xi Wan" I was able to hear the whispering of everyone "Her second sister would have been better" This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. "She is not even worth it " ¡°Did you look at her she looks different today" "She looks pretty" I liked the last comment but did not say anything Everyone started clapping ¡°So Xi Lanyon since today I am happy, please ask any wish that you want me to fulfill, I will try to grant all your wishes¡± The crown prince also looked at her she looked beautiful without any accessories not as the rumors which described her as ugly. The crown prince stared at her that she was excited to answer and knew she was going to answer something related to her father¡¯s promotion or her being married soon As soon as Xi Lanyon heard emperor question, she was excited and knew what she wanted she did not even wait for people to look at her after emperor stopped speaking. She knew in the previous plot she asked for her sister¡¯s position as a princess and this time she wanted a good pretty life. She knew from her maid that the paint and white paper is very expensive because not many people know how to draw portraits or paint. As she has not done this in her previous life she wanted to paint her room, make beautiful portraits, enjoy making landscapes. ¡°Thanks for the wish Emperor, being the wife of crown prince is first only a wish come true for me¡± Xi Lanyon said while vomiting in her head because she knew she first had to make these sweet conversations before asking for anything.. The crown prince kept on staring at her like he wanted to open up her head and see what¡¯s going on. ¡°I knew you were a good choice, but please do ask for a wish, I will better if I can do that for our future queen¡± The emperor asked me with a smile ¡°If that¡¯s what you want, I want all types of paint and white paper Emperor¡± I said while again curtsying Everyone stared at her giving a weird who asks for paint from the emperor she should have asked ornaments, dresses, power or anything else. Crown prince was also shocked he did not expect her to ask something which he could not even think of his in dreams ¡°Are you sure my lady? Do you want only paint and paper¡±? ¡°The emperor asked because he thought she will ask for her father''s position to rise which he did not want to raise "This subject apologizes to the emperor; I think my daughter wants to rethink and ask again" My father said while giving me angry look "This subject is very sure and wants paint and paper, emperor" I confirmed and looked at my father Raise your post on your own don''t try to climb on me I was a little embarrassed and saw that my father was a little angry because he first only told me to think about him and my pretty younger sister. Dining But I ignored my dad because now it was food time, I knew I had to sit on the left side of prince today because from today onwards everyone will see us as a couple Everyone waited for the foods to be served and as our first dinner it was a custom that I needed to put some food on the prince¡¯s plate and he will do the same. The maids and butler kept on arriving with large plates of food, I have never attended such a big banquet. Looking at all the dishes made me want to eat but I had to wait till all the food has come So as soon as the all the food was placed, I saw the most appetizing was the meat balls, so I served him the biggest one so that he similarly serves me that I placed the food on his plate and waited for him to do the same. I saw his hands moving forward to the fruit salad and he gave me a strawberry Everyone was waiting for this so I smiled back at them and looked back at my plate to start eating I stared at the crown prince even his side face was so good, he looked back at me and saw me starring at him rather than being embarrassed I started complaining ¡°I never thought that you were so petty to give me a strawberry I gave you a good fat meat ball¡± I said to him with a scowl on my face And I Started eating after picking more food on my plate, the prince was shocked to see so much food on my But I kept on eating it was so delicious, I never had such tasty food. I just wanted to moan but it would make me look weird so I focused on my food. ¡°I do not feel well¡± saying this my second sister got up and fainted I remembered this part when Xi Lanyon got up to help her sister and even told the crown prince to help her because she knew if she helped her sister she will most likely get some attention from her father which did happen. He gave her some old clothes of her sister which she did not wear and she was happily wearing that. But this time Xi Lanyon did not stand up she kept on eating because she did not want to miss any food, this food was so much better than the food than the food she used to have.

Prince¡¯s pov She is different as I thought her to be She did not ask for any promotion or rise in post for his father Also, what was with the scowl I thought young girls like to maintain their figure and do not want to eat much in front of everyone but look at this girl her plate is filled up more than mine and she is eating and eating. I did not even know that seeing her had a small smile on my face I never saw a girl eating so much without caring I saw that her sister was not feeling well and she fainted but she kept stepmother even her father was asking her to help her discreetly but she totally ignored her I also did not want much contact with her father he just wanted to everything under his control and I thought her daughter was going to follow his rules but I think it will be different Seeing that neither I or my fianc¨¦ her stepmother got up to help her daughter. ¡°Xi Lanyon how can you eat seeing your second sister faint, can¡¯t you help her¡± her stepmother started scolding her in front of everyone I was going to reply that why do not you help her but my father stopped me to see what the future wife was going to reply Xi Lanyon pov Cmon stop with overreacting I knew why she did this, she just wanted the attention of the crown prince but now she did not get that and I did not help her, her mother stepped in to throws insults at my face so that everyone starts hating me which was going to happen. ¡°Stepmother please don¡¯t overreact seeing her faint I am sure it¡¯s nothing serious, I was recently drowned in the river but then also you did not call a doctor or came to visit me here the imperial doctor will come soon, and I am also the crown princess now so it¡¯s my duty to have a proper dinner with them all of them are my family I cannot just get up and ignore everyone and spoil their mood¡± I said Yay brownie points to me I was super angry that they did not call the imperial doctor so I needed to let them know that. I atleast took some part of the revenge for the old owner of the body Seeing this my stepmother was super embarrassed even my father¡¯s face was red seeing her sweetheart embarrassed like this. All the other ministers stared at my father, they thought now he will have a upper say since his daughter was going to be a future empress but now they were happy that there is no such case. ¡°I Feel okay now¡± my second sister after seeing that no one was paying attention and all her drama went to waste I knew behind that small smile she was angry. Family Drama After the dinner was over, we curtsied and left and sat in the carriage ¡°What was the behavior today Xi Lanyon ¡± my father shouted at me as soon as we sat in the carriage ¡°Is this how you behave with your mother who took care of you all those years after your own mother died, your sister who gave you all the new clothes and ornaments, is this how you repay them¡± my father kept on shouting Even my stepmother was helping him to ignite his anger ¡°It¡¯s okay darling don¡¯t scold her it might be me who did not teach her properly¡± After hearing father was very angry ¡°Apologize to your mother and sister right now¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what I did wrong could you let me know what I should have done¡± hearing me reply back my father was more pissed off This time my sister behaved like a fairy ¡°Sister father is first only angry don¡¯t be like that you don¡¯t need to apologize to me just apologize to my mother since she is an elder¡± hearing her say those things my father stared at my sister like she was an angel who just dropped from heaven But I did not say anything My father was so angry ¡°You are not allowed any pocket money from now onwards ¡° my father told me like he gave me any any Duhh NEXT DAY IN THE MORNING I saw that lots of different types of paint and paper came from the imperial place the emperor maintained his promise and it was the crown prince who personally came to deliver and whole my family was there to personally receive it but they did not call me So I went outside to see what was happening ¡°Sister is still sleeping but please come inside, let me make you a cup of tea¡± my sister said shyly with a small smile Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. While my father and stepmother were watching the conversation with adoration in eyes I did not remember this part of the story where the prince personally came to the house to deliver the ornaments which she asked for her second sister Why is the prince here today she thought She just wanted to go back with paints but the prince noticed her ¡°Lady Xi Lanyon I was just waiting for you, these are all the paints that you wanted, please let me know if you think it¡¯s not enough¡± The prince said to me while ignoring my sister¡¯s question This made my parents and my sister to turn back and notice me. I am sure they were not happy to see me here because I disturbed their talk with the crown prince. I saw the paints beside which was a lot and I don¡¯t think I will need more Also, I did not want to ruin the story¡¯s plot so I was okay with my step siter inviting my fianc¨¦ for a cup of tea. ¡°Yes its enough, thank you crown please. Could you please tell them to deliver it to my room¡± I said and started walking towards my room. Crown prince¡¯s pov In the morning I saw my father and mother having a proper dinner and talking about my younger brother who was in a different country to study. He always wanted to become a doctor. As soon as I came, I saw that there was lots of boxes kept outside and all the servants were placing that in the carriage. ¡°Good morning father and mother, I wonder what are in the boxes outside¡± I asked my father while sitting on the chair My parents looked at each other and with as smile told me together ¡°It¡¯s what your future wife wanted¡± I was still a little embarrassed to hear that again because no one expected that someone will ask paint from the king. So to not being teased again from m parents I thought I will deliver it personally and see if its up to her personal liking or not ¡°ohh I will deliver it¡± I said and got up after having a breakfast ¡°You chose good, they are good for each other¡± I saw my parents whispering to each other which I heard since I had sensitive ears Hearing them I increased my pace since I did not want to listen to my own gossip. I ordered the servants to follow me with all the boxes to the finance governor house. I wanted to meet her and see what she will do with these paint, is she planning to paint her house No that¡¯s ridiculous, no one does that being a rich princess As soon as I reached both her parents and second sister were waiting for me. I think someone informed them about my arrival, why is Xi Lanyon not here, don¡¯t tell me she not want to meet me. Where was she As soon as I got down the horse I saw Xi Lanyon hiding beside the pillar to see her parents, I wanted to call out to her but before I was able to speak to her, her father came in ¡°Good morning crown prince, if we knew you were coming we would have prepared a lavish breakfast, please give us some time the servants are preparing for it, please join us for a tea¡± her father said while looking at her wife and daughter ¡°Yes please crown prince, Xi Lanyon is currently sleeping she usually wakes up late, I have sent the maid to make her get dressed up, till then my younger daughter who is very good at brewing at tea will make you a cup of tea¡± Her stepmother said while making way for her second daughter Good Looking Prince ¡°Please come inside, I will brew a tea for you¡± my second sister said In earlier times offering a tea to an unmarried male can give the impression to the male that she is trying to court her Crown prince¡¯s pov I was waiting for her to come between us, is she okay if her second sister is brewing me tea.

Don¡¯t try to disturb him to much he is first only busy. Your sister will help you¡± My father said and went out of room with his wife I opened the boxes and saw that there all types of paint and paper which I required and more. Shem Mia helped me while opening the boxes while my sister sat on the bed. ¡°Where is the crown prince¡± My sister asked ¡°He is in the courtyard drinking a cup of tea¡± I said and sister went to the courtyard This is the perfect time to meet, I can first only imagine the romance blooming between the make and the female lead But as soon as she was going out the crown prince entered the room All my hopes and plans went into water. Painting Crown prince pov This is the first time I saw Xi Lanyon so closely she was really pretty Her big eyes, the innocence on her face proving that all the rumours which I heard were not true I would have loved to talk to her if she hadn¡¯t freaked out when we made eye contact but it was nice to see her blushing This was the first time someone said I was goodlooking on my face, I knew I was handsome but it was nice to be acknowledged. She went out to open her boxes so after I managed to calm down I went to her room and saw her sister going out But that did not capture my attention I saw Xi Lanyon and her maid starting to open the lid of the paintboxes and dipped their brush. Are they really planning to paint the walls, though her room did not look like the room made for a rich daughter it looked like a shabby courtyard and their were no luxurious items. My mouth was opened from shocked do they even know how to paint, at least her maid was painting in straight lines, what was she doing she was making weird figures, or making very weird shapes. Even her sister was watching her weirdly. Seeing her so badly painting I just wanted to laugh. So I went beside her Xi Lanyon¡¯s pov I tried to paint a bird I don¡¯t think it was coming properly so then I shifted to a different animal I heard someone laughing so I looked around but I saw that my sister was watching me while the crown prince was walking towards me I think he was the one laughing does he think he can paint better than me, chauvinistic male This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. ¡°Do you think you can paint better than us¡± I asked with a scowl ¡°Not wanting to insult you my lady but I would definitely like to try if you don¡¯t mind¡± he said and I tried to hand him the brush to see how he paint I knew that he did not have any painting skills because it was never mentioned in the book But he took hold of my waist with one hand and the other hand supported my hand Is he painting a bird, wow it looks so majestic No no this is not allowed he cannot be good at everything ¡°This Is not fair you cannot be so good at everything¡± I started rambling and dipped the brush in paint again and started making different animals, which was definitely not coming properly He stared at me with a weird look ¡°I don¡¯t think crown prince is better at painting, it¡¯s fine not everyone is good at everything¡± I said to him while looking at the bird not a bird now after I tried to make it better The prince did not even look upset ¡°Can you teach me how to paint then¡± he asked ¡°Yes, sure see this how you move your brush.¡± I was going to say more but then he again took hold of me so that I was standing in front of him while he was leaning on me from backside and started moving his hand to make a brush, I was unable to say anything because I had never been so close to any boy it was only patients or dead persons, my heartbeats were also fast. I thought he did not like to touch Xi Lanyon even on the wedding night he did not enter her room, why is he holding me so tightly ¡°Let me help you crown prince, I have an exceptional talent in painting¡± My sister while holding a brush and made pretty flowers on the wall No doubt it was definitely pretty, this is when you say yes they are compatible with each other. They both are talented in everything that is why they are the male and the female lead. ¡°It would be wrong for me to be so close to an unmarried woman, I don¡¯t want to ruin your reputation¡± the crown prince said to my sister What she is also an unmarried woman, why didn¡¯t he think of her while touching her is it okay to touch her but not her sister. I gave him a scowl and saw that my sister also had a scowl on her face As soon as the bird painting was done the gates of my door were opened and my parents and when they saw her sticking to each other they were a little embarrassed but still said ¡°We have told the servants to get ready the snacks and tea, prince please come and have some snacks with us¡± Father said with a smile on his face She got out of his hold and started painting again now she was able to make better birds. Since the prince could not refuse again three of them her sister, prince and me followed my parents Rightful Place I saw that the dining table was properly set and arranged, there were so many dishes prepared. Please come daily crown prince, I want to have this type of food daily The prince sat down at the middle chair and I saw that on the right side my cousin sister sat I was okay with that and was going to sit on a different chair but before that my sister started ¡°Sorry I sat on the wrong seat sister, let me change my seat¡± She said softly but I saw she was not even getting up she just said that And my father and stepmother looked at me like I was wrong making her pretty angel get up and waiting for me to tell to not get up its fine but they don¡¯t know that I am not that idiot Xi Lanyon so I really waited for her to get up, I did not really mind if you did not comment but now since you have commented I will wait But my stepmother beat me ¡°No worries sweetie it¡¯s a small matter, Xi Lanyon won¡¯t mind she can sit beside you¡± my stepmother said with small smile on her face. Obviously she wanted her daughter and crown prince to marry but I came in between. But I was hungry so did not want to argue or wait anymore I minded but I was going to sit down but till then the prince asked his steward ¡°Chris do you mind to bring a chair here¡± the prince said while pointing right side beside his chair Chris picked the chair beside my sister and brought it to the right side of prince So I knew that seat was for me so without waiting for anything I went The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. ¡°Xi Lanyon please sit¡± he said and I was mesmerized was the crown prince really so loving to me the villain. But I know in the ending she will just be the side women so she doesn¡¯t want that ending so its better to not be close to this crown prince Now I am jealous of my sister who is going to have all the love of the crown prince. But still it was nice to get this respect from the person and the scowl on my parents face it feels like I disturbed their plan to get their daughter close with the crown prince Everyone was quiet and was waiting for the crown prince to start eating but he placed food in my bowl and looked at me to start I did not mind so I also picked some meat from the table and placed it in his bowl And then we started eating It was really good not that emperor good but still good, I saw that the crown prince did not eat much, even my sister only had 2-3 pieces of meat. Did she not want to have all types of food here So we all had our lunches and then the crown prince said ¡°I will be departing now, thanks for the lunch, it was delighful¡± the crown prince said to my parents while departing with his steward I looked at him with a smile since he did treat me very nicely, its better if we do not have any enmity between us But then he said which was something unexpected ¡°Lady Xi Lanyon, as you know about the rabbit festival coming soon all your clothes and ornaments will be sent to you by the imperial palace since now you are a part of the palace¡± He said and then left I remember there was no such thing because in the book she wore a very bright pink color with heavy ornaments and people made fun of her. Did I read the wrong book, why are we not moving with the storybook¡¯s plotline ¡°I forgot about the rabbit jade festival and did not buy any new clothes, I will just wear my old clothes¡± my second sister said while giving a sad smile to my parents. ¡°No no why will you wear old clothes, your sister will be getting so many clothes from the palace. I don¡¯t think she will mind sharing some clothes and jewelry with you isn¡¯t it Xi Lanyon? My stepmother asked me Ofcourse she was the female lead she needs everything proper even if I say no then also everything will be hers. Its better to be good to my sister as well or else I might have the same ending as the plot ¡°Yes sure sister, choose whatever you want¡± I said with a smile and then went inside my room again to paint my room. Now whenever I get free time, I will start painting and after some time I will make money by selling my painting I will be rich, imagining myself with a gold-filled room I was very happy and started painting again. New Maid Next day in the morning people from the imperial palace came and handed the two boxes saying that the prince gave this for future princess to wear, so I went out to collect the boxes which my stepmother and sister were seeing like they wanted to open and check everything. ¡°Good morning, lady Xi Lanyon I am the one of lady in waiting of the Empress and she told me to teach you the etiquettes and manner how to behave in the palace, I will be staying with you a few weeks until I think that you have learned everything¡± The maid then bowed and waited for my reply ¡°It¡¯s an honor to get served from one of the empress maid¡¯s, please do come in¡± I told her since it was really nice to be served from this maid, it¡¯s better to have a trustworthy servant rather than those people who are paid from my parents. No idea they might poison me or tell all my plans to my unwanted family members I went inside my room, my father, stepmother and my sister followed me to my room as well ¡°Can I please select my dress sister then I won¡¯t disturb you¡± my sister said obviously she wanted to select the best dress which would look good on her, like she is living off badly. C¡¯mon all the money is usually spent on you and still you have the power to act this modestly. ¡°Yes, why not¡± I did not really mind, since I was not that particular about my clothes and did not want any enmity between the female lead and me. It¡¯s better for her to look the best so that no attention is on me. ¡°Sorry Lady Xi Raye you are not allowed to take anything from the boxes, these are all the clothes that are only meant for the future queen¡± Empress maid said, while holding the boxes so that she cannot look inside. I was impressed to see a maid telling my sister what needs to be done. I am sure my parents are going to be angry but won¡¯t be able to tell anything since she is the Empress person.

She is just the cold, manipulative female lead. I saw the maid looked at me disgustingly like I am the bad person here but who cares. My stepmother and sister went out while I looked at the maid, I knew she also won¡¯t let me open the boxes. She will first want me to learn the basic etiquettes. ¡°Princess since now you are going to be the future empress, you will have to know how to brew tea, serve tea, embroidery and walk properly. There are many more things but we will first start with walking properly. Being a doctor I did not know these things at all and the previous lazy owner also did not know these things. I thought I will live a peaceful life but now I still have to learn these ettiquetes. I felt that it was not a difficult task so and won¡¯t take much time. ¡°Yes, why not let¡¯s start with walking¡± I said with confidence and we went towards the garden area ¡°Princess lean backward¡± ¡°Princess don¡¯t bend your knees, while walking¡± ¡°Princess look straight¡± ¡°Princess don¡¯t move your hands¡± ¡°Princess¡­. I feel like crying my legs my back everything is paining terribly, I feel becoming a doctor was more easier than this I did not know becoming a future queen was so difficult. My legs did not even support me but given everything would be reported to the Empress, I did not want to make my life more difficult as first only difficult it is. Ettiquetes After learning how to walk with proper straight back, chin up, not bending my knees ¡­ the maid started piling up the books on my head so that I can still walk properly like a future queen. But I fell so many times that my knees were scraped and on the verge of bleeding ¡°We can stop the training today¡± the maid said and went inside I was happy that at least it ended and wanted to eat and sleep So I stoop up and Shen Mia helped me to change my clothes since my clothes were torn and started applying ointment on my knees Seeing the ointment, I knew I could develop so much better ointment and refreshing pills for me. ¡°Let now learn how to brew tea properly, the maid said while bringing a tea and tea leaves inside my room¡± I looked at her with horror, she still wants to train, haven¡¯t I trained enough ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that, I also don¡¯t want to train you but it¡¯s the empress order to train you in one month, since it will be your first impression to all the citizens as the future queen¡± she said After listening to that I got up and sat on the chair to learn how to brew tea ¡°For brewing tea people usually add the tea leaves in the hot water, blend it and then pour it in the cup but that¡¯s not how properly tea is made, this can work when it¡¯s normal tea leaves but in the royal palace we get high quality tea leaves and if we make tea like that, it will taste bland, so make it properly we first add the tea leaves in the hot water and after that we remove that water and use the soaked tea leaves to make the tea and then pour out the tea. If the water is removed three four times more it tastes more sweeter but this needs to be done within one minute¡± If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.I saw how she made the tea and understood what she meant but this meant to not care about the hands because all the steam and even if hot water touches you cannot react I looked at my hands which was soft which meant this body was definitely not used to this much heat and hasn¡¯t even worked in the kitchen but if it was my previous body I could have done this easily since I used to work with lots of heat, needles. I started brewing the tea, it felt so hot that tears were pooled in my eyes, but I continued to work, sometimes the hot water also dropped on me, my hands were red. After working for 2 hours my hands were trembling but I was not able to change the water for more than 2 times. ¡°We can stop our training for today, you can rest, we will start early tomorrow morning¡± She said while looking at my hands I knew that she was not happy with my training outcome but this was what needed to be done till I get the perfect time. I can wait for the prince when he announces he doesn¡¯t want to marry me or I will have to tell him which meant I won¡¯t have much money left. She remembered that that in the novel all her mother¡¯s property went to her second sister dowry since she was going to be future empress but this time since she had taken over the body she will first only take away all her mother¡¯s property. She won¡¯t let anyone else touch her, she will take that with her. I knew that this maid can help her to seize all her property and she can till then hide all her properly or invest it properly so she doesn¡¯t have to face any issues in her future life. Looking at her red trembling hands and scraped knees ¡°Shen Mia, can you please bring me a brush and paper¡± Her maid rushed and brought that to her Miss i started writing the ingredients I wanted to cure for my hands and knees so that she can be refreshed as soon as possible ¡°Can you please bring all these ingredient from a medical store for me, take this 5 taels¡± Shen Mia stared at me but soon she went out to bring the ingredients Till then I thought what I could do for my safe and peaceful future.
