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

Seeing the wine jugs scattered all over the floor and the distraught man, her heart suddenly tightened.

"Your Highness, don't drink anymore. It's not good for your health." She advised softly.

The man raised his head, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white.

This was his wife, who was once the most beautiful woman in the capital, knowledgeable and versatile.

But now, she, like him, was forgotten in this cold palace, her glory gone.

The man was annoyed and said in a stern voice: "Your Highness? Who else in this palace would call me that? I have been forgotten, and only these wines are left to accompany me... Now even you want to control me?"

"Your Highness." The woman called anxiously.

Once upon a time, he was a favored child of heaven, enjoying great glory. However, due to his arrogance in his youth, he made a big mistake and was eventually deposed as the crown prince and confined to the cold palace for many years.

They had waited too long, and the Emperor had not reconsidered his position.

"Father has not appointed another crown prince yet, which means he still cares about you. There is hope for your restoration."

"Restored?" The man sneered, "It's impossible. In his heart, that woman is more important than his own son. After so many years, he still can't forget her."

These words seemed to have touched a sore spot in him, and he curled up, using anger to hide his inner fragility.

"Go away and don't disturb me from drinking. We are destined to spend our whole lives here until a new monarch ascends the throne. That will be our end." Baili Lin looked at the gray sky outside the window with no light in his eyes.

"We can't survive..." As he said this, he reached out for the wine bottle, but found that every bottle was empty, as if even this little comfort had been taken away from him.

Song Xueying felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, unwilling to sink into despair. "Your Highness..." She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted.

"Stop talking." Baili Lin was furious and grabbed a wine jug and threw it at her, "Go away, I don't want to see you."

"Ah." The wine jug brushed past Song Xuying, fell on the door, and shattered all over the floor. She screamed in horror.

The biting cold wind penetrated her sleeves and made her feel cold all over.

Song Xuying panted heavily, gently stroked her abdomen, frowned, and stared at Baili Lin with complicated eyes.

"I can't let you go on like this. For the sake of our child... we must try once." Her voice was firm and cold. She then turned and left, leaving behind a determined back.

In the hall, Baili Lin sat alone. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He murmured to himself: "Child... My child..."

……

In a corner of the cold palace, a nanny who was about thirty years old walked out quietly and quickly stuffed something into her sleeve.

She looked around and made sure that there was no one around before she left with peace of mind.

Outside Fengyi Palace, snowflakes were flying all over the sky. It had been snowing heavily for two hours and there was no sign of stopping.

The old nanny entered the palace and bowed respectfully to the queen.

The queen was wearing plain clothes and was twirling Buddhist beads in her hands. When she saw the nanny coming, she stopped and signaled the maids around her to leave. "All of you, go out."

As the maids left and closed the door, only the queen and the old nanny were left in the room.

The old nanny came closer and whispered a few words. The queen's expression became complicated and she clenched her fists.

But when she heard the last sentence, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"What did you say? Xueying is pregnant?"

"Yes, the Crown Princess is already three months pregnant, but this matter has not yet been announced to the public." The old nanny replied softly.

The queen's face was full of surprise. She stood up suddenly and said, "Xueying is pregnant." She turned her head to look at the falling snow outside the window and thought to herself, "This is a chance given by God. Lin'er may be able to regain his status... Winter hunting is coming..."

"This matter must not be leaked and must be kept confidential."

"I understand." The old maid nodded in agreement, her face firm. She was loyal to the queen and hoped that the prince could be restored to the throne as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, His Highness is finally going to see a turn for the better." Thinking of Baili Lin's days in the cold palace, the old nanny couldn't help but feel distressed.

"That's right." The queen couldn't help but nodded, her eyes moist.

For her son's sake, she wanted to help him out of this predicament.

This winter hunting trip was of vital importance, and we must seize the opportunity to change the situation and make the emperor reconsider.

"Go and get my jade pendant. I need to write a letter and you have to deliver it to my father personally. Be careful not to be discovered." The queen immediately ordered, while preparing pen and ink to start writing the letter.

The capital city welcomed its first snow, but for Ye Yunzi, this was not her first experience.

Not long ago, Shen Siyan took her to the snow-covered mountains, which were covered in silver and beautiful beyond words.

The snowflakes fell gently into her palm, turned into a drop of water and disappeared quietly.

Thinking of what Shen Siyan said to her that day, her heart felt sweet and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

The arrival of the first snow means that the annual royal hunt is about to begin.

At this time, the emperor would take his civil and military officials into the mountains, where there were not only exciting hunting activities but also hot springs that could relax the body and mind.

For young people, this is a good opportunity to showcase their talents and win the emperor's favor.

The hunting invitation arrived at the Su Mansion as scheduled, but Grandpa Su was old and decided to let the younger generation represent the family.

Yu Shu was worried about the young lady's health. After all, she had just fallen seriously ill due to a fire and cold wind not long ago.

So he suggested making a new fur coat for the young lady to keep her warm.

"The Embroidery Shop recently received some top-quality fox fur, which is perfect for making clothes," Yu Shu added.

When Ye Yunzi heard the word "fox fur", her cheeks turned slightly red and she nodded and agreed to go and take a look.

Despite the freezing cold outside, the streets of the capital were still bustling with people, with vendors hawking hot food, attracting passers-by.

The carriage stopped in front of the Xiuyi Workshop, where several vehicles from prominent families had already gathered.

As soon as Ye Yunzi entered the store, the boss came to greet her: "Miss Ye, you've come at the right time. We just received a batch of high-quality fox furs, specially prepared for you."

He entertained them warmly and ordered his men to bring out the best materials for selection.

Just then, a woman in a peach pink long skirt and a white fox fur jacket walked into the store. She had elegant manners and exuded a gentle and virtuous charm.

"Miss, what do you think of this fox fur?" The maid's eyes suddenly lit up and she pointed at the snow-white and soft fox fur in Xiaoer's hand.

The woman looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the fox fur was as pure and white as fresh snow and soft to the touch.

She nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

"I'll get it for the young lady to see. If the young lady knew that the young lady chose the gift so carefully, he would be very touched." The maid said with a smile.

After hearing this, the woman blushed and said shyly, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Miss, your marriage has been decided, so he will naturally be your son-in-law." The maid blinked and responded mischievously.
