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

Soon, the palace maid came to announce the arrival of the Seventh Prince.

Ye Yunzi said goodbye at the right time: "My queen, it's getting late, I should go too."

Empress Xian nodded in agreement and told Bi'er to send them out.

As the two left, the palace suddenly became empty, and Empress Xian's eyes lost their luster.

Seeing this, the old lady looked around with a serious expression.

After confirming that there was no one in the palace, she walked lightly to Concubine Xian's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, please don't act like this again."

"I understand." Empress Xian's voice was filled with deep sorrow, "but I just can't control myself."

"Aunt Xu, she is my own flesh and blood..." Concubine Xian tried to explain.

"Your Highness!" Aunt Xu interrupted hastily, her eyes wide open as she warned, "There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. If what we said today gets out, the consequences will be disastrous. Not only will our lives be in danger, but your entire family will also suffer."

After being scolded like this, Empress Xian came back to her senses, closed her lips and said no more.

"Okay, I got it. I won't see her again from now on." She sighed, but in her heart she thought that this palace was like a cage that deprived people of their wings to fly.

Even though it wasn't a life of luxury, the feeling of freedom was what she longed for.

Thinking of this, Empress Xian ordered Aunt Xu to prepare a generous gift for Ye Yunzi. Aunt Xu understood and immediately made arrangements.

When Aunt Xu was leaving the palace with the gifts, she saw a figure approaching from afar.

Bi'er stopped and saluted, and Ye Yunzi also bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Seventh Prince."

Baili Yan unexpectedly met Ye Yunzi, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Miss Ye?"

Ye Yunzi raised her head and smiled, showing the rabbit fur gloves she had just received from Concubine Xian, and said, "Thank you for the gloves, Your Highness. I will definitely return the gift someday."

“No, no…” Baili Yan’s heart beat faster and he became a little shy.

The snow-white and soft gloves complemented Ye Yunzi's slender fingers and further highlighted her snow-white and flawless skin.

Ever since he noticed Ye Yunzi that time, Baili Yan felt more and more that she exuded a unique charm.

"Are you going to see Empress Xian? Then I'll take my leave first." Ye Yunzi said politely.

Baili Yan nodded in response. Ye Yunzi didn't notice his strange look and continued walking forward with a smile.

As the two passed each other, Baili Yan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the maid following behind Ye Yunzi.

At that moment, his steps paused for a moment.

Although she was wearing a simple cotton coat, the maid still maintained an elegant posture and walked with firm and powerful steps, making her particularly eye-catching among the red walls and white snow.

After a short moment, they each walked in the opposite direction.

Baili Yan took a few steps and suddenly stopped.

That face... he finally understood why it looked so familiar. He turned around quickly and walked quickly in another direction, his figure soon disappearing from sight.

In the palace, Empress Xian waited for a long time, but there was no sign of Baili Yan.

"Your Highness may have been delayed by something." Aunt Xu said while looking out the window as she ordered the palace maid to buy more silver charcoal.

"Yes, otherwise it would have arrived long ago." Empress Xian responded softly.

At this time, Baili Yan was standing in the treasure pavilion, slowly unfolding a scroll in his hand.

A bright and beautiful woman appears in the painting.

This painting was created by a court painter 20 years ago, depicting Empress Xian when she was young. She stood quietly with a gentle and moving smile.

However, when Baili Yan looked at the portrait, his brows furrowed and his eyes became serious.

"Are there really people in the world who look so alike?" he said to himself.

What surprised him was that the maid he had just met was 70% similar to the mother in the painting, except that there was a bit more sharpness between her brows, making her seem cold and unapproachable.

Baili Yan's heartbeat quickened, and the maid's face kept appearing in his mind.

"It's incredible..." He sighed softly, but did not delve into it. He just regarded it as a wonderful coincidence. "I didn't expect that Miss Ye would have such a person who looks so much like my mother."

Then he rolled up the scroll and put it back in place before heading to the main hall.

"Seventh Prince, you are here." Aunt Xu stepped forward to greet him.

Baili Yan sat down and drank some hot tea to warm himself up, then asked, "Mother, has Miss Ye been here just now?"

"It seems that you have already met her." Empress Xian replied.

Baili Yan touched his chin, "Oh, by the way, mother, have you noticed the maidservant beside Miss Ye? She looks exactly like you, except that there is a sternness in her eyes. She is a replica of you. However, mother, you are gentle and beautiful, no one can compare to you."

Upon hearing this, Empress Xian and Aunt Xu were both stunned.

"Mother?" Seeing that Concubine Xian looked dazed, Baili Yan called out with concern.

"I'm fine. I didn't get enough rest last night so I'm just a little tired." Empress Xian forced a smile.

Empress Xian said this lightly, but her heart was full of ups and downs. She didn't expect Baili Yan to meet Aliang, and she also found the amazing similarities between them.

Aunt Xu frowned and secretly decided never to let that person step into the palace again.

When Ye Yunzi returned home, boxes of gifts from Empress Xian arrived one after another, each of which was a rare treasure.

When Mr. Su and Mrs. Su looked at these precious things, there was not much joy on their faces, but more worry.

Is there any other purpose behind Empress Xian's generosity?

Although their family is small, it would not attract so much attention, unless... Empress Xian really likes Yunzi.

Su looked up at her daughter and saw Yunzi taking off her cloak and handing it to Yu Shu. She was tall and straight, wearing a moon-white dress, which was particularly eye-catching in the winter.

"Yunzi has grown up, it's time to consider her marriage." Su said slowly.

Su Taigong nodded in agreement, "We should indeed find a good home for her."

The two of them only hope that their future husbands will treat Yunzi well, and don't care how prominent his family background is.

Hearing this, Yunzi smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry about my marriage. Grandfather, mother, please make a careful choice and don't let me jump into the fire pit."

"I will never let you suffer any injustice!"

"Don't worry, mother will definitely choose a good family for you. We will take our time with this matter."

Yunzi's words made them feel relieved temporarily. It didn't matter if she got married later. The key was to choose the right person.

Afterwards, Yunzi returned to her room and took a quick look at the gift sent by Concubine Xian.

Among them were valuable items as well as some seemingly simple jewelry, which did not seem to be the style worn by noble ladies in the capital.

After some thought, she ordered the jewelry to be sent to Aliang, and took out some from her own private collection as rewards to Yushu and others.

All the servants in the mansion were very happy after receiving the reward. The young lady was not only generous but also kind to others, which made everyone respect and love her.
