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

At this time, Baili Yan quietly walked into the palace and heard Concubine Zhao's words. He was shocked to learn that Prince Jin was being arranged to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He knew that the emperor was strengthening Prince Jin's power, which posed a direct threat to his succession to the throne. In particular, Xu Hanyan, the daughter of the prime minister, was an important helper in his eyes. Now that he saw that his father intended to marry her to Prince Jin, Baili Yan's anger and jealousy surged in his heart like a tide.

Prince Jin seemed to notice Baili Yan's gaze and raised his head to greet him, "Seventh Brother."

Concubine Zhao also noticed Baili Yan's arrival and introduced him with a smile: "Seventh Prince, here are the portraits of several noble ladies."

Baili Yan walked forward slowly, his heart was cold and complicated. He looked at King Jin and realized that he had underestimated his growth.

I used to think that Prince Jin was just a chess piece, but I didn't expect that he had grown into a wolf that should not be underestimated. Now he is on an equal footing with me, and may even become my rival. Baili Yan's mind was full of Prince Jin's figure, and he couldn't even take in the painting in front of him. In the end, he left the palace with a gloomy expression. On the way back to the palace, the atmosphere was so heavy that it made people breathless.

The Su family received an invitation to the flower viewing banquet in the palace, which made Ye Yunzi very puzzled. She had been rejected by her husband, so the selection of concubines in the palace should have nothing to do with her, but the invitation was actually delivered to her. Ye Yunzi held the invitation and fell into deep thought.

Ping'er ran over happily and said, "Miss, the palace invites you to attend the flower-viewing banquet!" She didn't understand why Ye Yunzi didn't have the slightest joy, but frowned instead. In Ping'er's opinion, receiving such an invitation was something worth celebrating.

"This may be what Prince Jin meant." Ping'er guessed, thinking that Prince Jin was interested in the young lady. But Ye Yunzi didn't think so. She felt that Si Yan would not do such a thing. So, who sent it? Was it sent by mistake or someone did it on purpose? Regardless of the reason, since she received the invitation, she had to go to the palace for the banquet.

A few days later, the day of the flower viewing banquet arrived. A gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the Su Mansion.

"Miss, the carriage from the Marquis's Mansion has arrived." Ping'er hurriedly reported. Ye Yunzi slowly walked out of the mansion and saw the curtain of the carriage was lifted. Inside sat a woman with a bright smile - Ji Yingying. She waved to Ye Yunzi: "Yunzi, let's go together!"

Ye Yunzi did not refuse and boarded the carriage. It turned out that Ji Yingying had also received the invitation and came to accompany Ye Yunzi.

In the spacious carriage, the two sat side by side, the atmosphere was relaxed. Ji Yingying took out the food box, opened the lid and handed it to Ye Yunzi: "Come, eat something. I don't know when I can eat again after entering the palace. I have been there several times before. The food in the palace looks good but it is not filling. I am afraid of dirtying my clothes, so I dare not eat too much."

Ye Yunzi couldn't help laughing when she heard this. Ji Yingying said a little embarrassedly: "Don't laugh at me, this is the truth."

Ye Yunzi nodded in agreement, "You are right."

Ji Yingying sighed, "Actually I don't want to attend this party, but since I received the invitation, I have no choice but to go..." The two of them understood each other tacitly and silently prepared for the upcoming flower-viewing banquet.

Ye Yunzi had no interest in the position of imperial concubine.

After finally getting rid of the deadly poison, she just wanted to live a few more years. If she were to enter the palace and face the complicated struggles in the harem, she would probably shorten her life due to worry.

When she and her companion Ji Yingying got off the carriage, the palace maids were already waiting at the palace gate to greet them and lead them to the Imperial Garden. The moment she entered the palace, Ye Yunzi couldn't help but think of her good friend Baili Yue.

Since returning to the Su family, she learned about the shocking changes in the palace: Baili Ye took Baili Yue into the palace and attempted to kill the king, but ultimately failed and chose to commit suicide with a black firestone. Baili Yue witnessed all this and was indescribably hurt.

Ye Yunzi's worry was evident on her face, and at this moment, a sarcastic voice interrupted her thoughts. "Look, isn't this Miss Ye?" She looked up and saw Rong Lingya, the woman who had framed her many times. Although Rong Lingya had embarrassed herself in front of everyone due to an accident in the past, she still appeared at the flower viewing banquet with a smile on her face today.

"Ms. Rong." Ye Yunzi responded politely, and at the same time reminded Ji Yingying beside her to keep her distance, because Rong Lingya was scheming and could not be trusted. Ji Yingying nodded to show her understanding.

There was a hint of coldness in Rong Lingya's smile, and it was obvious that she intended to use this opportunity to take revenge on Ye Yunzi. As the noble ladies gathered in the imperial garden, everyone had the desire to become the prince's favorite, and Rong Lingya was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one among them. Although she had an ignominious history, under the protection of the Rong family's powerful military power, no one dared to challenge her position easily.

Rong Lingya looked at her position with satisfaction, and then cast her eyes on Ye Yunzi who was standing in the corner. "Ms. Ye, come over here and chat." Her words made everyone focus their attention on Ye Yunzi.

As soon as Ye Yunzi entered the banquet, she was instantly surrounded by whispers. Those voices were like fine raindrops, falling gently but enough to suffocate people.

"Isn't that the lady that Prince Jin broke off the engagement with?"

"It is said that she is an unlucky person. No wonder Prince Jin cancelled the engagement."

"How come she got the invitation too? This is against the rules."

Ye Yunzi felt as if countless pairs of eyes were piercing her body like needles, and a bitter feeling rose in her heart. However, she soon realized that all this was arranged by Rong Lingya. The invitation from Concubine Zhao was obviously intended to make her look bad in front of this group of noble women.

Ji Yingying stamped her feet in anger, but Ye Yunzi just smiled calmly, "Don't pay attention to what they say." She knew that Rong Lingya's mind had never changed, and the six-month confinement had not taught her anything. People like this are born to like watching others fall, thinking that this will make them look taller.

Rong Lingya raised her head proudly, as if to say, "Look, Ye Yunzi, I don't even have to move a finger, and you will be crushed by everyone's words." But Ye Yunzi did not give her this opportunity. She turned her head away and ignored those meaningless discussions. She just felt that all this was too boring.

Seeing that Ye Yunzi remained unmoved, Rong Lingya's eyes flashed with anger. She was about to humiliate her when suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to another place - several princes slowly walked into the garden. They had tall and straight figures and extraordinary temperaments, like gods descending from heaven.

On the day of selecting concubines, every prince was a shining star. The women's eyes immediately shifted away from Ye Yunzi, replaced by longing and expectation for the future. Their cheeks flushed slightly, and their heartbeats accelerated, as if the whole world became beautiful at this moment.
