After hearing this, Su Luoan's expression changed slightly. He seemed to understand Ye Yunzi's intention. A hint of hesitation flashed across his face, and then he restrained all his emotions.

Seeing that Su Luoan was still hesitant to take it, Ye Yunzi took the initiative to put the box in his hands and whispered: "Uncle, please deliver it yourself. The princess will definitely be very happy."

Su Luoan was also concerned about Princess Wei Yang. Otherwise, why would he often drink alone in the dead of night, stroking a piece of warm jade with his fingers, his eyes full of longing?

This piece of jade was given to him by Princess Wei Yang when he was a child. He has treasured it for many years and often takes it out to express his feelings.

Su Luoan looked at the box in his hand, tightened his fingers, and a struggle flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to return the box to Ye Yunzi.

However, when he looked up again, Ye Yunzi had already walked towards Su Huan, and there was distance between them.

Su Luoan sighed and had to accept the gift.

"Mr. Su, Miss Ye, Mr. Su, please follow me to the banquet." The palace maid invited politely with a respectful attitude.

Most of the guests have arrived, and the scene is very lively. Looking around, I don't see Princess Wei Yang. It seems that she will appear later.

Ye Yunzi brought Leng Xue to give her a gift. Leng Xue was holding a silk package that looked like a gorgeous dress. "Be careful, don't get it dirty."

Not far away, two familiar figures were slowly approaching. They were Rong Wanling and Su Yu.

Rong Wanling stared at the package in Leng Xue's hand and asked with a smile: "Miss Ye, what kind of valuable gift is this for the princess? The princess gave you a golden hairpin not long ago. This birthday gift must have taken a lot of thought, right?"

Ye Yunzi answered frankly: "This is a specially made cloak."

"Cloak?" Rong Wanling showed surprise on her face when she heard it.

Ye Yunzi gently lifted a corner of the silk, revealing a colorful cloak with exquisite embroidery.

When Rong Wanling saw it, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. This was exactly the custom-made cloak she had seen in the tailor shop, and it was obviously a gift prepared for the eldest princess' birthday.

"This cloak is so beautiful. The princess will definitely like it." Rong Wanling praised generously.

"I hope the princess will be satisfied." Ye Yunzi responded lightly. She noticed the subtle changes when Rong Wanling and Su Yu exchanged glances.

Ye Yunzi handed over her gift, while Rong Wanling presented an exquisite rabbit fur coat, and Su Yu took out a landscape painting by a famous artist.

"She really sent the cloak." Su Yu whispered, looking a little nervous.

Rong Wanling's eyes flashed with coldness, "Just wait and see, the princess will definitely check every gift carefully. When she sees Ye Yunzi's cloak, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

Su Yu felt relieved when she heard this, but she was also a little worried: "What if someone is found to have tampered with it?"

Rong Wanling said confidently: "Who would know? The cloak was sent directly from the tailor shop to the Su family. We have no chance to take it."

"That's true." Su Yu nodded, feeling much more at ease.

"Remember, this matter is only known to you and me, and it must not be leaked."

"Ok, I know."

The banquet began, and delicious food and wine were served on the table. The guests took their seats. The men and women were seated on both sides, with a quietly flowing stream in the middle.

Su Luo sat quietly, stroking the small box in his sleeve with his fingers.

This was given to him by Ye Yunzi before he entered the palace, asking him to personally present the birthday gift to Princess Wei Yang. He pondered for a moment, and finally seemed to have made a decision and left the banquet.

There were so many guests that no one noticed his quiet departure.

He found the female official who served Princess Wei Yang. After a brief conversation, the female official nodded slightly and then led him to the princess through the side door.

At the banquet, Rong Wanling and Su Yu smiled at each other, feeling relaxed.

As long as Ye Yunzi delivers the cloak, what happens next is just a matter of time, and they just need to wait patiently.

The banquet went on for a while, and people suddenly looked in one direction.

The eldest princess is about to arrive, and the emperor, empress, and concubine will also appear. However, while everyone is quietly waiting, the eldest princess has not arrived yet. Instead, news comes that she is in trouble.

What exactly is going on?

Everyone looked surprised and started talking about it.

Rong Wanling sneered, her mind clear as a mirror. She glanced at Ye Yunzi, only to see that she was still calm, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

The secret of the cloak will never be revealed easily. Even if gods exist in the world, they can hardly save her.

"It is said that the princess has a rash all over her body, as if she came into contact with something incompatible with her."

"what on earth is it?"

On this day that should have been a day of celebration, these whispers have made people panic.

Some people couldn't help but go to find out what happened. The young masters were not able to go, so the ladies left the table and went to Princess Wei Yang's palace. Rong Wanling also followed, thinking about how to put the blame on Ye Yunzi.

"Madam Su, what happened?"

Aunt Xu's face was solemn, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. She said coldly, "Something has happened in Jinyang Pavilion."

"Has the princess encountered any trouble?" someone asked in a low voice, but Nanny Su did not answer.

"How could this happen? Wasn't everything fine normally? Did he come into contact with something unusual?" Some people in the crowd speculated that the rash must have been caused by contact with something that shouldn't be touched.

"This is a big deal and requires a careful investigation." Rong Wanling said in a calm and reasonable tone. Nanny Xu nodded in agreement and immediately ordered the palace maids to begin a search.

Ye Yunzi looked up at Rong Wanling and found that she had taken the initiative to speak for the first time today, which seemed a little unusual.

Rong Wanling noticed Ye Yunzi's gaze, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. She said coldly: "Even if it is a birthday gift, it must be carefully checked."

"Indeed."

Madam Xu waved her hand, signaling the palace maids to check the birthday gifts.

Ye Yunzi watched all this, frowning slightly, as if she realized something was wrong, and her expression became solemn.

Rong Wanling's smile became increasingly cruel. She thought that even if Ye Yunzi realized it now, it would be too late. She would regret it once she was thrown into jail.

……

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the birthday present?"

"It can't be me who sent it!" Everyone was uneasy and looked worried.

Only Rong Wanling and Su Yu seemed exceptionally calm, as if they had already anticipated all this.

Ye Yunzi stared at the two of them closely, clenching her hands in her sleeves. Leng Xue leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

Ye Yunzi's face darkened, and she didn't know what news she had heard. She lowered her eyes, and her gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"Heh." Rong Wanling sneered.

A moment later, Aunt Xu appeared again with a serious expression.
