"Thank you, but I prefer to walk alone."

At this moment, all eyes were drawn to her, not only because of Su Huan's dazzling charm, but also because she was at the center of public opinion.

Despite this, everyone's attention was focused on Su Huan, who was extremely handsome and had a complexion whiter than snow.

The girls blushed and twisted the handkerchiefs in their hands. The whispering stopped immediately and everyone stared at Su Huan intently.

"Is he the young master of the Su family? He is so handsome that he doesn't look like an ordinary person." Someone exclaimed softly.

"He's even more handsome than the Fourth Prince." Others echoed.

Just then, a woman riding a horse and wearing a fiery red dress discovered Su Huan. Her eyes lit up, and then she waved her whip and rode straight towards him.

"Princess! Princess! The Queen said not to run around!"

Baili Yue stopped his horse in front of the two and dismounted quickly, "Yun Zi!"

Her passionate voice spread, and although she was calling Ye Yunzi, her eyes involuntarily stayed on Su Huan.

Thinking back to the graceful figure of Su Huan when he saved her, her heart beat faster.

"Your Highness." Ye Yunzi bowed respectfully and behaved appropriately.

"Yunzi, I haven't seen you for a long time. I've been locked up in the palace and I'm almost suffocating." Baili Yue pouted, looking dissatisfied.

After her mother discovered that she had left the palace without permission last time, she was placed under house arrest and did not step out of the palace for two whole months.

It was with great difficulty that she obtained her father's consent to allow her to participate in this hunting competition.

"Where are you going to play? I know there is a hill nearby with beautiful scenery. There is a lake there that never freezes even in the cold winter. There are white ice flowers all around... I'll take you to see it!"

Baili Yue spoke excitedly, her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

Ye Yunzi looked at Su Huan and was about to answer when a group of maids and palace maids rushed over, looking nervous: "Your Highness, you must not do that. The Imperial Concubine has ordered that you cannot leave the foot of the mountain."

"Your Highness..." They followed closely, fearing that the princess would suddenly ride away on horseback.

Baili Yue frowned. She was already restricted in every way in the palace, and she didn't expect that she would still be like this after she came out. She clenched the whip and looked at everyone coldly: "This princess orders you to stop following me immediately!"

"Your Highness, this..." The old nanny's face turned ugly.

"If you dare to follow me again, don't blame me for being rude!" Baili Yue snorted coldly, scaring the old nanny and other palace maids so much that their faces turned pale and they sweated profusely.

"Why don't you leave quickly?"

"Please spare us, Princess!" All the maids knelt down, pale-faced, and begged. The old maid explained, "The Imperial Concubine has ordered that we must accompany the princess at all times. If we make any mistakes, we will be severely punished."

"Princess, please spare your life!"

Seeing this group of people kneeling on the ground begging, Baili Yue became even more annoyed, but she had no place to vent, so she could only angrily swing the whip twice on the open space.

Snap! The sound of the whip was deafening, and the palace maids were so frightened that they trembled.

Seeing this, Ye Yunzi stepped forward and said gently, "They are just following the orders of the Imperial Concubine. Please don't make things difficult for them."

Baili Yue pouted helplessly, still feeling heavy-hearted.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Fourth Brother!"

Baili Ye walked over with big strides, full of vigor and momentum.

When Ye Yunzi saw him, she stopped involuntarily, lowered her eyes slightly, and restrained her expression.

He looked around at the kneeling palace maids and frowned slightly.

Baili Yue noticed his dissatisfaction and hurriedly explained: "I didn't ask them to kneel down. They were just too annoying. They wouldn't let me ride my horse or leave the foot of the mountain, and they kept following me."

When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but tremble.

"Fourth brother, please help me. I finally came out to take a breath, but I still have to be stared at by so many people." Baili Yue said aggrievedly, pulling Baili Ye's sleeve and acting coquettishly, "I promise I won't cause any trouble, really, and Yunzi is here, so I'm sure nothing will happen."

Baili Ye glanced at Ye Yunzi. She lowered her brows and looked calm.

"Fourth brother..." Baili Yue knew that only the fourth brother was the softest and would definitely agree to her request, "Fourth brother, please help me!"

Baili Ye looked at Baili Yue and asked, "Can you promise not to cause trouble or make trouble?"

"I promise!" Baili Yue nodded repeatedly, with hope flashing in her eyes.

Baili Ye looked at her lovingly and flicked her forehead lightly with his finger.

Baili Yue took a half step back, rubbing his forehead and complaining: "Fourth Brother..."

"Okay, everyone, stand up," he said. The maids and nurses hesitated for a moment, then stood up.

"I will take care of Yue'er, you all go back." Baili Ye ordered majestically.

"But..." The old nanny looked embarrassed, worried about disobeying the imperial concubine's orders.

Baili Ye said coldly: "I will take the blame from my mother, you don't have to be afraid, just leave!"

Everyone retreated respectfully, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Baili Yue smiled happily, her eyes curved into crescents, "Fourth brother is still the best to me."

"You!" Baili Ye always showed his gentle side when facing Baili Yue. Then he turned to Ye Yunzi and ordered: "Miss Ye, take good care of Yue'er and don't let her make trouble."

"I didn't." Baili Yue muttered softly.

"By the way." Baili Ye stared at Ye Yunzi and sneered, "I wonder if the things Miss Ye prepared have been delivered?"

Ye Yunzi's face changed slightly and she clenched her hands quietly.

The atmosphere between the two of them became somewhat subtle, but Baili Yue was unaware of it and asked innocently, "What gift? Yunzi, do you want to give me a gift?"

"Nothing, just some small things." Ye Yunzi replied indifferently.

More and more people gathered outside the tent, and everyone's attention was drawn over.

At first Ye Yunzi was not noticeable, but as the Thirteenth Princess and the Fourth Prince appeared beside her, the scene immediately became lively, and it seemed that their relationship was extraordinary.

Some of the onlookers looked at her with envy, wondering how she had won the favor of the two royal family members.

Rong Wanling was particularly jealous and almost bit her teeth. She looked at Ye Yunzi hatefully and felt increasingly unbalanced.

As the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, she should have been the focus of everyone's attention and had no shortage of followers around her.

In contrast, Ye Yunzi was alone and seemed unwelcome.

What my brother said makes sense. How can the faint light of a firefly compete with the bright moon?

Rong Wanling felt happy and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, but this pride did not last long.

In a blink of an eye, everyone's attention was attracted to Ye Yunzi.

The Thirteenth Princess and the Fourth Prince approached her one after another. Both of them had such an imposing aura that people dared not look directly at them.
