The three men rode forward, followed by a team of guards and servants, who were afraid that something might happen to the princess.

"That is……"

Everyone was attracted by this spectacular team. Upon closer inspection, they found that Her Royal Highness the Princess was riding horses with the Su family.

It was a sunny day, and the green trees in the forest blocked the scorching sun. A few rays of sunlight shone through the treetops, creating a beautiful picture.

The three rode for a long time and finally stopped under a lush tree.

Looking up, I saw the tree full of juicy fruits, so heavy that the branches were bent.

Baili Yue shouted excitedly, "It's really a fruit tree, but the tree is so tall, how can I pick the fruits?" She looked up and her hands couldn't reach the branches at all.

Su Huan dismounted, handed the basket to Ye Yunzi, and said gently, "I will climb the tree and shake the branches, and you can catch the fruits when they fall."

"Okay." Ye Yunzi nodded in agreement.

Su Huan glanced at the thick tree trunk, jumped lightly, and climbed up the tree using his lightness skills with ease.

After standing firmly, he began to shake the branches, and the ripe fruits fell one by one. Ye Yunzi walked under the tree and held the basket to catch the fruits.

"I caught it." Looking at the basket full of fruits, Ye Yunzi smiled brightly.

"The fruit over there seems to be bigger..."

She pointed to another branch, and Su Huan turned and shook the other side. Several ripe, bright red fruits fell, along with a few green leaves.

Green leaves were flying in the air, and mottled sunlight was shining on Ye Yunzi. She was smiling with curved eyebrows and no worries. At this moment, she forgot all her troubles and smiled like an innocent child.

Su Huan stopped what he was doing and stared at it, a hint of surprise flashing in his deep eyes.

……

Baili Yue, who was standing aside, watched Su Huan and Ye Yunzi playing together, one shaking the fruits and the other catching the fruits, having a lot of fun. She curled her lips and said, "I want to pick fruits too!"

After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves, rubbed her hands, and looked eager to try, ready to challenge tree climbing.

Baili Yue's shouting about climbing a tree caused a commotion among the people around her. The servants quickly stood in front of her and said anxiously, "Princess, this is not allowed!"

If the princess's body was harmed, they would be in big trouble. After all, disobeying Concubine Wu's order was no joke.

"All of you, get out of my way!" Baili Yue looked impatient, her brows knitted into knots. No matter what she wanted to do, there was always someone stopping her, not allowing her to do anything, just like keeping her like a bird in a cage.

"Today I must climb the tree and pick the fruit. Anyone who dares to stop me will be whipped ten times," she announced domineeringly.

The servants were so scared that they kept lowering their heads, not daring to look at her directly, nor to move a step away. The consequences of offending the princess would be disastrous, but... but they really didn't dare to let the princess take this risk!

"Are you going to give in or not?" Baili Yue held his head high and chest puffed out, the threat evident in his words.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze. Su Huan and Ye Yunzi involuntarily stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her.

"Bring me my whip." Baili Yue gave the cold order. The maid beside her went to get the whip tremblingly. She asked for the whip from Baili Ye and had used it to teach many servants a lesson.

After one whip, there is no visible scar on the surface, but there are bruises under the skin, and the pain is so severe that the person cannot move for several days.

Baili Yue gently waved the whip, and all the servants in front of him shuddered and trembled all over.

"If you dare to stop me, that would be treason."

Just as she was about to lash out with the whip, a bright red fruit suddenly flew over and hit her forehead squarely. Baili Yue cried out "Ouch", and the whip she had raised also stopped in mid-air.

"Who dares to throw fruit at me?" She said with her eyes wide open.

Su Huan was seen sitting lazily between the branches of the tree, playing with a fruit in his hand, throwing it into the air and catching it steadily. The fruit just now was obviously his work.

"You...you actually dared to hit me?" Baili Yue couldn't believe her ears. From childhood to adulthood, she had never suffered such an injustice. He actually dared to tease her with fruit.

"If your Highness the Princess finds it boring, you might as well pick up the fruits on the ground. You see, they are all over the ground." Su Huan said in a calm tone and with a composed look, without any fear at all.

Baili Yue glared at him with gritted teeth, the flames in her heart burning fiercely, but somehow, when she met his deep eyes, the anger was miraculously extinguished.

There was a half-smile on Su Huan's face.

Under the tree, Ye Yunzi was worried that Su Huan had angered the princess, and was about to step out to mediate.

Baili Yue stamped her feet, snorted coldly, and threw away the whip, "Give me the basket!"

The servants were all stunned and speechless. They thought that the princess would be angry and even the young master of the Su family would be in trouble, but they didn't expect that she would pick up the basket and honestly pick up the fruits on the ground.

They opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to do.

"The princess's body is precious, so let us servants do the rough work!" The servants quickly started picking up the fruits on the ground.

Baili Yue held the basket, pointed at everyone, and said coldly: "Stop, everyone, step aside! I will pick it up myself!"

"This……"

"I'll pick them up." Baili Yue said uncomfortably, and glanced at Su Huan from the corner of her eye. Su Huan's casual words were engraved in her heart, and she didn't even know why she bent down to pick up the fruits.

Su Huan shouted, "I'm going to shake it."

The fruits on the tree fell down with a crackling sound. Ye Yunzi raised the basket to catch the fruits, but a few naughty fruits still hit her head, making her dizzy. Finally, she fell to the ground with a plop, two leaves stuck in her hair, and a confused look on her face. Seeing this, Su Huan laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward.

"Hahaha..." The hearty laughter echoed in the forest. Baili Yue couldn't help laughing when she saw Ye Yunzi's embarrassing look.

In her impression, Ye Yunzi was always gentle and virtuous, or cold when holding a bow and arrow. She had never seen her look so silly.

The laughter spread farther and farther, startling the birds in the trees and causing them to fly away.

Not far away, Baili Yan and Shen Siyan heard laughter and came over to see the scene.

Shen Siyan's gaze fell directly on Ye Yunzi. Her eyebrows were curved, and the sunlight shone down on her, making her skin look whiter and more translucent. Her delicate facial features looked particularly soft, and her smile was bright and dazzling.

"..."

Similarly, Baili Yan's gaze also stayed on her, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Su Huan jumped down from the tree and gently helped Ye Yunzi remove the leaves from her hair. "Are you hurt?"

Ye Yunzi shook her head.

"I'll pull you up." Su Huan stretched out his hand. Ye Yunzi glanced at his hand and grabbed it without hesitation, full of trust. They stood up and smiled at each other, with a tacit understanding.
