Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Everyone in the capital city knows that the young master of the Rong family and the young master of the Su family grew up together. One is talented in literature, and the other is an excellent martial artist.

Now, the young master of the Rong family has become a great general who is feared by all. If the two meet again, they will definitely have complicated feelings.

But this time, Su Yongyu did not go in person, but sent Su Huan and Ye Yunzi to express congratulations.

"General Rong?" Ye Yunzi's face changed slightly. She didn't know much about the Rong family. She only knew that the Fourth Prince would be engaged to Rong Wanling soon, which would be extremely beneficial for the Fourth Prince to control military power and consolidate his position as the Crown Prince.

……

In the Fenghua Hall of the Imperial Palace, Concubine Wu was half lying on the couch. The smoke rising from the incense burner carried the aroma of medicine, which could relieve her headache.

"Now the Rong family is gaining momentum, and General Rong He is deeply loved by the people. If we can form an alliance, that would be the best." Concubine Wu said softly, closing her eyes and rubbing her temples. After a moment, she opened her eyes, "The Rong family still has a daughter who has just come of age and is not married, right?"

"That's right. Miss Rong Wanling of the Rong family is smart and beautiful. She is known as a 'talented woman' in the capital and is as famous as the daughter of the Minister of Revenue." said the old nanny standing by.

A gleam of light flashed across Concubine Wu's eyes. With the current status of the Rong family, she was worthy of being her son's legal wife.

As long as he controlled the Rong family and seized the military power, he would have a better chance of winning the battle for the crown prince position. By then, no matter who it was, even if they wanted to fight for power and profit, they would not be able to start.

"His Highness has arrived." The old nanny saw Baili Ye walking into the palace from afar.

Concubine Wu looked at her son and saw his handsome and tall figure, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Greetings, mother." Baili Ye walked closer and bowed, and the old nanny hurried forward to serve him.

Concubine Wu's eyes lingered on her son. "Duke Rong is hosting a banquet. You must bring a generous gift with you."

"My son understands."

The banquet held at the Duke's Mansion was grand in scale, and almost all the prominent families in the capital were invited, even princes and princesses were invited. It can be seen that Duke Rong is very powerful and has become the object of everyone's competition to make friends with him.

Baili Ye was no exception. He vaguely guessed the purpose of his mother's summons. The matter of the Duke's Mansion might be related to the unmarried young lady of the Rong family. Let him think about it, the young lady's name should be Rong Wanling?

Baili Ye's eyes are unfathomable, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking.

"Hua'er, you are an adult now, it's time to consider getting married." Concubine Wu said directly, and it was obvious that she was referring to the daughter of the Rong family.

"I heard that Rong Wanling is smart and knowledgeable. I think she is the only one who is worthy of you. What do you think?" Concubine Wu had mentioned the matter of selecting a concubine many times before, but Baili Ye rejected it coldly. Although he always put filial piety first in other things, he was determined not to give in when it came to marriage.

Hearing this, Baili Ye's expression changed slightly, his eyes became even more gloomy, and the atmosphere became cold and weird.

Concubine Wu looked at him and couldn't help but sigh, "Look at the other princes, they have already appointed their own wives. Only by stabilizing the family can we better govern the country." She had advised him many times, but to no avail. With a frown on her face, she looked up at him, "Have you already found someone you like?"

Since the proposal to select a concubine has been rejected many times, there is only one possibility.

Baili Ye's body stiffened for a moment and he lowered his head. No one could see the emotions in his eyes, but deep in his heart, Concubine Wu's words were like a thorn that pierced deeply into his heart. He could neither remove it nor show the pain to others.

"If you have someone you like, you can tell mother and I will arrange a marriage for you."

There was silence in the hall. After a long silence, Baili Ye finally shook his head and said, "I don't have anyone I like. Everything will be arranged by my mother."

This time he did not refuse, but chose to accept.

He was always bothered by the fact that Shen Siyan helped Baili Yan. Within just one month, Concubine Xian was released from the cold palace and his spy was executed as a traitor.

All this is by no means a coincidence, it is obvious that Shen Siyan is behind it.

Baili Yan alone is not a threat, but if Shen Siyan is added...

Baili Ye's eyes flashed, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.

The situation was originally good, but now there are changes. To be on the safe side, marrying Rong Wanling is the wisest choice.

He clenched his fists and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. If it weren't for Shen Siyan, he wouldn't have to force himself to marry Rong Wanling. His anger grew even stronger.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll tell the emperor." Concubine Wu breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She was very surprised that Baili Ye agreed to marry Rong Wanling. This way, she would be more confident in competing for the position of crown prince.

After the discussion, Baili Ye left Fenghua Palace and a bright figure came towards him.

"Fourth brother!" He heard a crisp call and the man came running over with joy on his face.

Baili Ye's gaze fell on the person who came, his eyes became gentle, and a rare smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The person who ran over was Baili Yue. She was wearing a pink long dress, had a bright smile and was beautiful.

In the cold atmosphere of the palace, she was the only one who affectionately called him Fourth Brother instead of the formal Fourth Royal Brother. She truly trusted him and regarded him as the most important person.

"Fourth brother, have you seen mother?"

"Yes." Baili Ye responded briefly.

Facing Baili Yue, Baili Ye looked serious, but his eyes revealed endless tenderness. He always tried his best to protect her and pamper her.

After looking around and making sure that there was no one around, Baili Yue whispered to Baili Ye, "Fourth brother, the banquet at the Duke's Mansion is almost here, can we..." She seemed a little uneasy.

Baili Ye knew that Baili Yue loved lively occasions, and she definitely didn't want to miss such an occasion. However, Concubine Wu was strict in her discipline and didn't allow her to go out for fun, so she had to learn various talents in the palace all day.

She wanted him to take her to the party.

A smile flashed in Baili Ye's eyes, but he didn't answer immediately.

"Can I..." Baili Yue hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to look up at him, "Can you take me there?"

"I promise not to cause you any trouble." She said seriously that she just wanted to go out and see what was going on and not get involved.

For her, it was a rare opportunity to have the chance to leave the palace and breathe fresh air. If her fourth brother didn't agree, her mother would definitely not allow it. She looked at him hopefully and gently pulled his sleeve.

"Fourth brother..."

Hearing Baili Yue's soft pleading, Baili Ye's heart softened and he whispered, "I will come to pick you up that day."

"Thank you, Fourth Brother!" Baili Yue happily threw herself into Baili Ye's arms and jumped excitedly.

Baili Ye's body stiffened, and when no one was paying attention, he showed a hint of discomfort on his face, and he didn't know where to put his hands. A faint fragrance came, and she snuggled up to him tightly, full of trust.
