Chapter 285 Scene Change: The NPC Who Was Watching the Show Turns on Her in an Instant Turn (4)
Sitting in the courtyard, Su Dingding basked in the sun, and her mood improved considerably.
The Third Princess followed her out and sat down next to her.
She wasn't surprised to see those people unconscious.
"You, like me, are also a time traveler?" the Third Princess suddenly asked.
“You are the female lead, and I am just an NPC playing a minor role,” Su Dingding replied.
"Without you, I really don't know how I would have dealt with these people. They would have died countless times," the Third Princess said with a bitter smile. "They're nothing like the female lead; they'd probably just be extras..."
"The one lying inside is absolutely in love with you. Once he wakes up, your good days will begin. With your medical skills, you'll heal his leg. If he becomes emperor in the future, you'll be the empress!" Su Dingding guessed their ending.
The Third Princess shook her head. "He loved the original owner of this body, not me."
Su Dingding was taken aback; this woman was quite clear-headed!
"Gangzi, what was the ending for her and the Third Prince?" Su Dingding asked curiously.
"I've fallen in love with the same old thing," Gangzi replied.
Su Dingding laughed, knowing it would be like this, the same old trick.
"Third Princess, go in and keep an eye on the Prince. Once he wakes up, my mission will be complete, and I can leave."
"Are you leaving here?" The Third Princess asked, somewhat disappointed.
"The mission is complete. The thrush you see from now on won't be me," Su Dingding replied.
Because the original owner did not accept this plot setting, they could only let these NPC taskers take their place.
The Third Princess didn't say anything more, but unfortunately she still had to stay here.
Slowly getting up and walking inside, Su Dingding felt that even her back view was lonely.
After all, everything here was unfamiliar to her. She probably preferred returning to her laboratory in the modern world to being a princess.
A female medical doctor, who just happened to be brought here to talk about love.
After more than a decade of hard work, she finally made it through, only to have it all vanish in an explosion. It must be hard for her to accept.
The Third Prince woke up quickly and his eyes were full of love when he saw the Third Princess.
"Huamei, the prince has woken up. Let them all come in."
Su Dingding cooperated fully, waking up Consort Yin and the others, who then went inside.
The imperial physicians were all very surprised to see that the Third Prince had actually woken up.
Consort Yin was also extremely excited and asked them to take the Third Prince's pulse.
"Congratulations, Consort Yin! The Prince is out of danger!"
"I never expected the Third Princess Consort to have such superb medical skills. I've learned a lot from her!"
The Third Princess's half-sister said in disbelief, "Impossible! My sister doesn't know medicine. These strange things must be... witchcraft. She still wants to harm the Prince!"
"You!" The Third Princess glared at her angrily.
This time, before she could speak, the still somewhat weak Third Prince spoke first, "Guards, throw her out of the palace! No one is allowed to slander my princess!"
"Your Highness, she doesn't love you. Why are you so obsessed with her? I am the one who is right for you, Your Highness..."
The half-sister was dragged away by the servants, wailing and clutching at Consort Yin's dress, "Consort, I truly love the Prince, please let me be his concubine..."
Consort Yin kicked her away, her face full of disgust.
"If I hadn't listened to your slander, how could I have doubted the Princess Consort and almost caused her to miss the opportunity to save my son!"
Su Dingding curled her lip, thinking, "So this is what happens when someone is in a high position and has power; they can say whatever they want."
The Third Princess's half-sister was dragged away, and Consort Yin changed her tune, taking the Third Princess's hand.
Even her tone of voice softened a bit, "Thanks to you today, Mother has misunderstood you."
The Third Princess Consort felt inexplicably embarrassed; she had almost been beaten to death by the beating just now.
"It's all what I should do, Mother... Consort."
Su Dingding suppressed a laugh; it seemed that this Third Princess Consort still needed time to adapt to life here.
[Host, recite your lines, then we can move on to the next mission.]
"Your Highness's medical skills are truly superb!" Su Dingding looked at the Third Princess and made a heart-shaped gesture.
The Third Princess looked at her and nodded slightly.
The two had exchanged greetings, and Su Dingding had completed another task.
When she opened her eyes again, she was standing downstairs at the restaurant watching.
On the second floor, a beautiful woman in a wheelchair held an embroidered ball in her hands and looked down at the people below.
She looked melancholy because the person she liked hadn't come.
"Young Miss, the auspicious time has arrived, hurry up and throw the embroidered ball!"
"That's right, I've been waiting for an hour already, are they going to throw the embroidered ball or not!"
Su Dingding was holding a handful of sunflower seeds and cracking them open with gusto.
"Who is that?" Su Dingding asked the person next to him.
"You're from out of town, aren't you?" the man replied. "The lady upstairs is Miss Du. Today she's throwing a bridal bouquet to choose a husband. Whoever catches it will marry into the Du family, which is an incredible fortune!"
[Host, Miss Du actually has someone she likes, but that man is of lowly status, an actor, and he feels unworthy of her, so he rejected her confession. Miss Du, of course, doesn't know his feelings and thinks he dislikes her because of her disability. Out of spite, she then held this ceremony to choose a husband by throwing a silk ball.]
Su Dingding continued eating sunflower seeds, "Has that actor arrived yet?"
He arrived and, with the help of his relatives and friends, managed to catch the embroidered ball. However, he returned it to Miss Du. Needless to say, Miss Du was heartbroken and, in a fit of anger, married… a beggar.
"Seriously? How can you be so irresponsible towards yourself?"
Su Dingding couldn't understand it. This wasn't love-hate relationship; it was self-harm!
[But they still ended up together later.] Gangzi swung his legs leisurely as he ate the melon.
Miss Du looked at the crowd with disappointment, but the person she wanted to see never came.
Finally, she closed her eyes and threw the embroidered ball down.
The crowd began to grab the weapons, and some even fought each other.
After all, the Du family only has one daughter. Although she is a bit older, already nineteen years old, she has a lot of wealth. So what if she marries into the family? It's a free lunch; only a fool wouldn't take it!
Zhang the actor and his friends arrived just in time and joined the scramble for the embroidered ball.
Miss Du immediately became excited, her eyes fixed on Zhang the actor.
The eldest daughter of the Du family finally smiled when she saw him receive the embroidered ball.
"My God, the one who caught the embroidered ball is actually an actor!"
"How could this actor be worthy of the Du family's eldest daughter? How dare he snatch the embroidered ball?"
"An actor and a cripple, they're a match made in heaven!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Upon hearing these remarks, Zhang Xizi looked up at the eldest daughter of the Du family.
He loves her, but he can't marry her.
In this era, actors are lowly; he and his master might leave at any time, wandering from place to place, and they are not worthy of marrying and having children in this lifetime.
"Young master, you've won the embroidered ball, are you willing to marry me?" Miss Du asked loudly from upstairs.
Her eyes were clear as she awaited a positive answer.
“Miss, I’m just an actress, I’m not good enough for you. You’ll find someone better…” Zhang the actress backed down.
Su Dingding stopped eating sunflower seeds. The girl was being so proactive; what a spineless coward with no sense of responsibility!
