How To Survive as a Villain

Princess Yongning was dressed in pure silver and gold Phoenix robes. She wore bracelets made of silver bells on her lotus-like wrists and her long silk-like hair was tied up by a white jade hairpin. When she saw Xiao YuAn was sitting on the bed powerless, Princess Yongning rushed forward with her deer-like eyes full of worries: “Imperial Brother¹, why are you suddenly ill?”

Because you never went to save your husband! So he spent the whole day and night getting himself frozen!

Xiao YuAn knew that this matter couldn’t be blamed on Princess Yongning, and he can only blame himself. While thinking about the possibility of binding Yan HeQing and throwing him directly at Princess Yongning’s arms, he waved his hand and said: “It’s nothing serious, if you’re not careful enough…Cough.”

Princess Yongning reached out and patted Xiao YuAn’s back: “The weather is getting colder by the day, you should pay more attention to your body. I made some soup for you, here try it.”

With that said, Princess Yongning took the food box from the hands of a maid behind her. Hong Xiu seeing this, respectfully approached her: “Princess, let this handmaid do it for you.”

“Okay.” Princess Yongning handed the food box to Hong Xiu.

Hong Xiu opened the lid of the food box and went to take the soup bowl with her bare hands. Princess Yongning saw this and shouted in panic: “Be careful, it was just taken off the fire, it’s hot!”

Obviously, this warning was too late. Hong Xiu expresed a soft ‘ah’ sound and the bowl slipped from her hands hitting the ground, the porcelain broke and the soup splashed all over Princess Yongning.

Suddenly, there was a whole second of silence inside the bedroom.

Hong Xiu suddenly knelt down to the ground, kowtowing with an ashamed expression: “This servant is too stupid! I ask for the Princess to punish me! It was this servant’s fault!”

Xiao YuAn was just about to call for Hong Xiu when Princess Yongning took the first step, leaning over and helping Hong Xiu to rise with a smile: “Don’t be afraid, it doesn’t matter. I didn’t tell you beforehand that the soup was boiling hot, so it was my fault. His Majesty won’t blame you, right, Imperial Brother?”

Oh, my God! Mistress, you’re glowing! Is this the pure light of great compassion from the Goddess of Mercy, hallelujah!

“Yes, I won’t blame you” Xiao YAn nodded.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor who had always doted on the Princess didn’t get angry, yet Hong Xiu was still full of fear.

“Imperial Brother, I’ll go to cook another pot for you.” Princess Yongning stood up with a smile.

Hong Xiu said with a flustered tone: “But princess, your clothes…”

“Ah.” Princess Yongning glanced down at the dress stained with soup. “It doesn’t matter, I’ll change into my Imperial Brother’s clothes.”

Speaking of which, Princess Yongning found the clothes in the young Monarch’s Imperial bedchamber and walked into the inner room to change her clothes.

When she reappeared, Princess Yongning was dressed in neat men’s clothing. She carefully tied up a wide area, looking 100% handsome.

“Then I’m going to the Imperial Kitchen, take a good rest Imperial Brother” Princess Yongning mischievously gave Xiao YuAn a courtier’s gift.

Looking at the figure of Princess Yongning leaving, Xiao YuAn felt very sad.

There’s a big reason why “The History of the Four Kingdoms” was so popular, and that was because the image of the female lead in the first half of the story was extremely successful.

As the female lead, Princess Yongning doesn’t hold back: she’s not stupid nor does she cry or haw, she’s not delicate and weak, and she doesn’t flirt with any man. Because the image of Princess Yongning doesn’t have the spirit of a white lotus², and also she gives a kind of frank and lovely feeling to people, she has become the favorite of many geek male readers.

That’s why no one expected the story to develop into a stallion novel!

So when the author wrote the death of Princess Yongning, everyone was dumbfounded! It! Was! Madness! Just when everyone thought that this was part of the author’s plot and Princess Yongning was pretending to be dead.

The author gave a determined sentence: She’s really dead, cold.

The comment section immediately fired! Howling and crying in distress! It was full of hate comments complaining about this evil mother.

While Xiao YuAn was still sobbing, Princess Yongning had already cooked the soup again and went back to the Imperial Palace: “Imperial Brother, please try it.”

Because the soup was warm, Xiao Yu’an felt the cold gradually dissipating.

“Is it delicious?” Princess Yongning curved her eyes.

“Very delicious.” Xiao YuAn nodded and thought: How can I let the two protagonists meet again and make a spark!!!

Xiao YuAn was thinking about Yan HeQing, and at the same time, there was someone else that was thinking about Yan HeQing.

That was Eunuch Zhao of the House of Internal Affairs.

“You’re telling me that last night His Majesty took Yan HeQing, the prince of the Southern Yan Kingdom, away from the snow?” Eunuch Zhao was sitting on a chair, with his index finger pointing at someone.

The slave who bullied Yan HeQing last time knelt at his feet, only to promise him: “I’m telling the truth.”

“Well…”

Eunuch Zhao thought for a while, his eyes were sinister and his tone was not good: “Where’s Yan HeQing now?”

“Answering to Eunuch Zhao, he’s still at the Taiyi Pavilion.”

“Well, in a few days, when Yan HeQing returns to the House of Internal Affairs, you will find some people and show him a lesson in my regards.”
