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

After all, Baili Yue is not only the daughter of Concubine Wu, but also a beloved princess.

Your Highness, Princess." Ye Yunzi gently held Baili Yue's hand and comforted her tenderly, allowing her to gradually calm down.

Baili Yue finally came to her senses and nodded slightly to Concubine Xian: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian."

Concubine Xian had been in the palace for many years and had already mastered the ability to read people's expressions. She understood immediately. "It seems that the princess and Miss Ye have something to say. Miss Ye, don't let me disturb you. Go quickly."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Ye Yunzi said gratefully.

After the two left, Aliang's eyes followed their figures. He wanted to follow them, but he felt it was inappropriate. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stayed in the hall.

Empress Xian withdrew her gaze and naturally looked at Aliang.

"Everyone, please leave." Empress Xian ordered softly.

"Yes, your Majesty." The nanny and the palace maids withdrew respectfully, leaving the room in silence.

Empress Xian stared at Aliang, while Aliang remained silent, standing quietly without looking away.

She has a pretty face and a gentle expression between her brows, yet her eyes are firm, which contrasts sharply with her young face, making her look particularly mature and steady.

Seeing this scene, Empress Xian felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"Is your injury...better?" Empress Xian asked gently.

Aliang looked at Concubine Xian in confusion. Matters concerning the hunting ground should be kept secret, but how could she know about it?

Then he thought of the injury he had sustained on ***'s birthday, so he replied, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine now."

Empress Xian sighed lightly and did not ask any further questions.

She has been silently paying attention to Aliang, and although she knows that she is seriously injured, she is powerless to help.

"How about coming here and sitting for a while?" Empress Xian invited.

"I don't deserve it." Aliang's answer was still polite and a little stiff.

A trace of sadness flashed in Empress Xian's eyes. Aliang keenly noticed the unusualness in Empress Xian's behavior, as if she was hiding some secret.

"Then try these snacks, they are all made by the palace cooks. I heard that you are from the Western Regions, I wonder if the snacks here are to your taste." Concubine Xian suggested.

Aliang originally planned to decline, but in the face of Concubine Xian's expectant eyes, she walked forward, picked up a piece of dessert and tasted it.

The fragrance of osmanthus spreads instantly, sweet but not greasy, with just the right taste.

A rare smile appeared on Liang's face, and he said softly, "It's delicious."

"As long as you like it." Empress Xian stared at Aliang closely, her heart tense as she quietly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Aliang's voice became gentle, as if there was a natural tacit understanding between the two of them, which made them both let down their guard. The atmosphere became relaxed and happy. He said: "My queen, thank you very much. I like this gift very much."

"As long as you like it." Empress Xian responded softly, with a hint of warmth in her eyes, "Try this lotus seed soup again. This was my favorite drink when I was a child."

Ye Yunzi and Baili Yue left the palace together.

After taking a few steps, Baili Yue couldn't wait to ask about Su Huan's situation.

When she learned that Su Huan had regained consciousness and his injuries had healed, she felt relieved and felt that the whole world had become much brighter.

"I want to visit him, but my mother doesn't allow me to leave the palace." Baili Yue sighed.

Ye Yunzi understood her friend's feelings. After all, Baili Yue's feelings for Su Huan were so obvious that almost everyone could see it.

But considering Su Huan's identity, Ye Yunzi couldn't find the right words to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I know you won't let me take you out of the palace, and I won't make things difficult for you." Baili Yue changed the subject, "Do you know what's going on with Rong Wanling recently?"

Ye Yunzi then remembered that she had been busy dealing with the relationship with the Shen family during this period and had not paid much attention to things in the outside world.

"I heard that she has become mentally ill and is now locked up at home, and a monk is being invited to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirit."

Baili Yue said this with a somewhat pleased smile on her face. In her opinion, this was the result Rong Wanling deserved.

Su Jinyue knew in her heart that things were far more complicated than they appeared.

There are actually many things behind Rong Wanling's so-called possession by evil spirits. The situation becomes even more subtle due to major events such as the death of the auspicious snow deer and the emperor's serious illness.

The Duke's Mansion hopes to avoid greater trouble by temporarily hiding Rong Wanling.

"This way, Fourth Brother won't be forced to marry her." Baili Yue said proudly, and then added in a low voice: "However, Father brought back a new favorite, who is said to look very similar to the late Concubine Rong."

Ye Yunzi nodded to show that she knew about this matter. "Indeed, I have heard that Miss Ye Ziru is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has been particularly favored by His Majesty."

"Despite this, you are still the prettiest in my eyes." Baili Yue said sincerely, obviously not very fond of this new woman.

Baili Yue pondered secretly in his heart and couldn't help but secretly glance at Ye Yunzi several times.

Ye Yunzi lowered her eyes. If she hadn't discovered that Luo Yuqing was Ye Ziru, then the Fourth Prince's move would have been extremely clever, enough to be as sharp as a knife, but there are no absolute secrets in the world.

What the Fourth Prince wants Ye Ziru to do will probably come to light soon.

Ye Yunzi raised her eyes to look at Baili Yue and said softly, "Your Highness, we have been out for some time. Should we go back now?"

She couldn't help feeling a little worried when she thought about leaving Aliang alone there.

"Well, you go back first." Baili Yue looked at Ye Yunzi reluctantly. It was so hard to have a few words with her to relieve her boredom, but she didn't expect to part so soon.

Just as Ye Yunzi turned around and prepared to leave, "Wait!"

Baili Yue called her, quickly took a few steps forward, and stuffed a red knot into her hand.

"This is..." Baili Yue hesitated, her face flushed, and she changed the subject: "This is a peace rope. Wearing it can bring peace. Please help me pass it to Su Huan."

Ye Yunzi took a look at the safety rope that was not exquisite but full of thought, and realized that it was made by Baili Yue himself.

Seeing Baili Yue lowering her head shyly and keeping silent, she said gently: "I will give it to him."

"Thank you..." Baili Yue expressed her gratitude in a weak voice. This was the first time she said thank you.

Back in the palace, the atmosphere was harmonious. Concubine Xian and Aliang were tasting the delicious cakes in the palace.

Although Aliang stood straight and maintained courtesy, he still seemed cold and distant.

Empress Xian was smiling and looking at Aliang with tenderness in her eyes.

This scene made Ye Yunzi's heart tremble slightly, and she had an indescribable feeling.

When Empress Xian saw Ye Yunzi coming back, she invited her, "Come and sit down. Try these pastries. I hope you'll like them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Yunzi responded and sat down, while Aliang took a step back and stood beside her.

Empress Xian glanced at Aliang, a complex emotion flashed across her eyes, and then she returned to normal. Even though she continued to smile, the warmth seemed to be gone.
