At this moment, ripples appeared in his calm heart.

A breeze blew past, blowing on their cheeks. Baili Yue was so happy that she didn't notice anything strange about Baili Ye at all.

She knew that although her fourth brother seemed strict on the surface, he loved her very much in his heart.

No matter what she wants, the fourth brother will help her realize it. Even if his words are sometimes cold, he always fulfills her wishes behind the scenes.

Whenever she made a mistake and faced punishment, he would always quietly plead with his mother. In this world, Fourth Brother was the person she trusted most, and as long as he was by her side, she had nothing to fear.

"Fourth brother...you are so nice!" Baili Yue let go of her hand, looked up at his stern face, but a sweet smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

Baili Ye looked at her quietly, without saying a word.

Baili Yue took two steps back and looked around cautiously, fearing that some old maid would notice her misbehavior. As a princess, she could not laugh out loud, talk casually, or hug a man without scruples.

However, what does this matter?

The person in front of her is her most beloved fourth brother. Only in front of him can she feel extremely at ease.

"That's it."

"Wait..." Baili Yue suddenly remembered something and pouted, "Mother said that she would marry the daughter of the Rong family to you." She was worried that once her fourth brother had a wife, he would no longer care about her as before.

But she knew that her fourth brother had reached the age to get married, and she should go to the Rong family to see the woman named Rong Wanling and see if she was worthy of being her fourth brother's partner.

Noticing the uneasiness on Baili Yue's face, Baili Ye asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"Even if I'm unhappy, there's nothing I can do. Fourth brother has to get married. I'm just afraid that after you have a wife, you won't love me as much as before... I'm afraid you'll forget me." Baili Yue said with some worry.

Baili Ye's eyes darkened slightly, "Then I simply won't marry her."

His tone was so stern that it was hard to tell whether it was a joke or the truth.

Baili Yue blinked and couldn't help laughing, "If Fourth Brother doesn't get married, Mother will be worried..."

"Yue'er." Baili Ye raised his eyes and looked at her seriously. His dark eyes were deep and calm. "Whether I marry or not, I will never forget you. You will always be my most beloved sister."

"Yes, I know that Fourth Brother treats me the best." Baili Yue smiled brilliantly and turned to walk into Fenghua Palace. Baili Ye watched her back until she disappeared, his eyes became deep, and his fists clenched quietly in his sleeves.

On the streets of the capital, in the gardens.

The two women walked side by side, followed by a group of maids and servants, fearing that anything might happen to them.

One of the women was Su Yu, the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. She was very beautiful. Since the last Qing Poetry Festival, she had rarely appeared in the social circles of the capital and had been recuperating in the Marquis's Mansion until she reappeared recently.

The other woman was wearing a bright red dress. Although her skin was not as fair and delicate as that of the average Beijing woman, she exuded a unique charm and was particularly eye-catching. She exuded a gentle temperament that was different from the unique temperament of Beijing women. Instead, she exuded a sense of pride and freedom. This woman was the daughter of the Rong family, Rong Wanling.

"Wanling, you are finally back. I missed you so much." Su Yu held Rong Wanling's arm affectionately. The two had a close relationship and could talk about anything. But Rong Wanling went to Lanzhou with the Rong family and only returned to the capital now.

Rong Wanling's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Tell me quickly, what has happened in the capital recently?"

"Okay." As the two of them strolled and admired the flowers, Su Yu told Rong Wanling about the recent interesting stories in the capital, including some gossip circulating behind the scenes.

Rong Wanling laughed out loud, she hadn't felt so happy for a long time. When she was in Lanzhou, she had no close friends, so she had to keep many things to herself. In comparison, life in the capital was obviously more colorful.

"Shen Yuming is married?" Rong Wanling asked in surprise.

She remembered that her uncle had mentioned introducing her to this famous young man before, but she didn't expect that within half a year, he had found a new lover. "Is the bride Ye Yunzi?"

When Su Yu mentioned Ye Yunzi, her expression immediately became complicated.

Thinking of this name, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a chill. It seemed that as long as she was related to Ye Yunzi, everything would always go wrong, and she would even implicate others.

Su Yu showed an embarrassment on her face, and hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Rong Wanling frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"Ye Yunzi she..." Su Yu hesitated, wondering whether she should reveal this past.

Now, she tries to stay away from Ye Yunzi as much as possible and avoid seeing her if possible.

"She's not a monster. She won't eat you. Look how nervous you are." Rong Wanling said with a smile.

But Su Yu couldn't laugh, as she always felt that there was something indescribable weird about Ye Yunzi.

"Wanling, she is really strange. I can't guess what she is thinking. Every time I see her eyes, I feel like I am being stared at by a poisonous snake."

"Is it so mysterious?" Rong Wanling felt curious.

As far as she knew, Miss Ye was usually not very conspicuous and would just sit quietly aside when attending parties. How could she make Su Yu so afraid now?

"It's really strange." Su Yu nodded in confirmation, "Every time she schemed, she was able to get away with it safely, but put others in trouble. The head of the Shen family was also fascinated by her. They even rode on the same horse at the last hunting party."

Having said that, Su Yu clenched his fists, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

She has always admired Shen Siyan and thought that only she was worthy of him. Unexpectedly, an inconspicuous woman suddenly appeared and won the favor of the head of the Shen family.

"Hearing you say that, it sounds as if she is the reincarnation of some evil spirit."

"Wanling, you have to be careful too. Hide if you can to avoid getting into trouble." Su Yu said cautiously.

She didn't want to cause any more trouble. Seeing the tragic fate others suffered for opposing Ye Yunzi, she felt a chill in her heart.

Rong Wanling narrowed her eyes. "Now that you mention it, I really want to meet her and see what magical powers she has. The Duke's Mansion also happened to invite the Su family to the banquet this time."

As soon as Rong Wanling returned to the Duke's Mansion, she was called over by her father Rong Gui.

Rong Gui said seriously, "This banquet is very important. Many dignitaries in the capital will be attending. You must leave a deep impression on them."

"I understand, father." Rong Wanling responded meekly.

The celebration banquet for the general's triumphant return was a perfect opportunity for her to stand out in front of everyone.

"Especially the Fourth and Seventh Princes, they will also be present." Rong Gui's words revealed a deep meaning. If one can marry a prince, it will be a lifetime guarantee. Now that the Rong family's status has been raised, it naturally attracts the attention of many people, and the princes are no exception.

"Then who should I choose?" Rong Wanling was smart and had already understood her future path. She wanted to assist the prince who could become the crown prince.
