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

Ye Yunzi also followed the crowd's gaze and saw Shen Siyan wearing a dark blue brocade robe, standing in a pavilion not far away. His face was like jade, his demeanor was extraordinary, and he was more handsome than before. The two looked at each other, as if time had frozen at this moment.

At the lively flower-viewing banquet, Shen Siyan and Ye Yunzi's eyes met inadvertently. Shen Siyan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he didn't expect to meet her here. Ye Yunzi was slightly startled, and her heart was full of worry about his unhealed wound. She frowned slightly, worried that his actions would be detrimental to his injury.

As if he understood her concerns, Shen Siyan smiled and nodded, his eyes gentle, as if telling her that everything was fine. Seeing this, Ye Yunzi's heart relaxed a little, but she quickly lowered her eyes to avoid looking at him. The atmosphere between the two was subtle, as if silent love words were flowing in the air. Ye Yunzi's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heartbeat accelerated.

Shen Siyan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her like this. He had never seen Ye Yunzi so shy. "Brother, you look like you're in a good mood today." Baili Yan, who was standing next to him, noticed Shen Siyan's smile and joked.

"Not bad indeed." Shen Siyan simply responded, but in his heart he was particularly happy to see Ye Yunzi. However, he immediately thought of a question: Why did he meet her in such an occasion? She was not in the album of the imperial concubine selection... This question made him frown unconsciously, and his eyes became deep.

Baili Yan misunderstood Shen Siyan's mood, thinking it was because Concubine Zhao had chosen a suitable lady for him. He secretly clenched his fists, determined not to let Shen Siyan get the support of this woman, so as to further consolidate his power. He has already begun to plan how to ruin Shen Siyan's good deeds, just waiting for the opportunity to mature.

While searching for his target, Baili Yan's eyes swept through a group of women, and finally stopped at Ye Yunzi in the corner. She was wearing a light and elegant lilac dress, with her head lowered, looking particularly elegant and refined. Baili Yan originally wanted to use her as a pawn to deal with Shen Siyan, but when he saw her again, he felt a complex emotion in his heart.

Although the Su family's status was not high, which was just right for weakening Shen Siyan, he could not help but resist this idea. For Baili Yan, a woman like Ye Yunzi should belong to him. Even if he could not become his wife, he could marry her as a concubine in the future.

Baili Yan made a decision in his heart and chose a woman - Su Yu from the Su family. She was not outstanding in appearance and looked particularly ordinary among a group of noble ladies. When she followed Rong Lingya, she was like a little follower, always cautious and flattering.

"Promise her to Shen Siyan." Baili Yan thought to himself, then his eyes fell on Su Yu and he sneered.

Su Yu suddenly felt a chill, and when she looked up, she met the Seventh Prince's eyes. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she lowered her head in panic, wondering if she was dazzled. But when she secretly raised her eyes again, she found that the Seventh Prince was still staring at her. This sudden attention made her nervous, her palms sweating, and her heart pounding like a drum.

"Could it be... he is looking at me?" Su Yu's heart was full of doubts and surprise. She originally thought that she was just here to make up the numbers, after all, famous ladies like Rong Lingya and Xu Hanyan were the popular candidates for the imperial concubine. But now, the Seventh Prince was actually looking at her all the time, what did this mean? Could it be that he was interested in her?

Su Yu's cheeks flushed and her thoughts drifted as she imagined that if the Seventh Prince really fell in love with her, then maybe she could really become his concubine, even if not the principal wife, then a concubine would be fine.

She tried to calm herself down and responded to the Seventh Prince's gaze in the most natural way. However, the Seventh Prince's seemingly indifferent smile was a gentle gesture to Su Yu, which made her even more shy.

Seeing this, Baili Yan gently withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if everything was under his control.

Rong Lingya noticed Su Yu's strangeness and asked coldly, "Why are you blushing?"

"No, nothing..." Su Yu answered softly, shaking her head constantly, but her heart was full of anticipation.

"Don't be so wishful thinking. How could someone like you be chosen as the imperial concubine? Don't you look at your own identity?" Rong Lingya said disdainfully. She was obviously dissatisfied with everything around her, especially the scene where she saw Ye Yunzi secretly glancing at Prince Jin just now.

"I didn't think much about it..." Su Yu whispered in defense, but in her heart she firmly believed that the look in the Seventh Prince's eyes had a special meaning. Who will become the prince's wife in the future? Everything is still unknown.

Just when the atmosphere was becoming tense, a report broke the silence: "Concubine Zhao is here!"

Everyone's eyes turned to the door, and they saw Concubine Zhao walk in gracefully, her dignity evident in her every move.

A group of women bowed respectfully and said softly, "Greetings, Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Zhao waved her hand gently and asked them to stand up. Her eyes swept through the crowd, and when she saw Rong Lingya, a smile of approval appeared on her face. Since childhood, Concubine Zhao had been particularly close to the Rong family. Seeing Rong Lingya gradually grow into an elegant and generous lady, her heart was filled with satisfaction. She had always hoped that this beautiful lady could become the prince's wife.

Rong Lingya smiled gently in response, knowing that with the support of Concubine Zhao, she was one step closer to becoming the imperial concubine. As long as the concubine said a few good words in front of the emperor, the marriage would hopefully come true.

Concubine Zhao's eyes inadvertently fell on Ye Yunzi in the corner and lingered for a moment. Originally, the daughter of the Su family was not on the invitation list for the flower viewing banquet, but she was allowed to attend because of Rong Lingya's special request. However, in Concubine Zhao's view, although Ye Yunzi was somewhat pretty, she was nothing special, and she couldn't help wondering why Rong Lingya would specifically plead for her.

Noticing Concubine Zhao's gaze, Ye Yunzi raised her head slightly, thinking about the unusual relationship between the Concubine and the Rong family. Although she didn't know the inside story, she understood that Concubine Zhao was obviously very friendly to the Rong family, and therefore she had a favorable impression of Rong Lingya.

"Don't be too restrained," Concubine Zhao said gently, "I invited you here today to enjoy the flowers. The peonies in the imperial garden are in full bloom, everyone please enjoy them... I think you are more beautiful than these flowers." Upon hearing this, the women all showed shy expressions and lowered their heads.

Thinking that this flower-viewing banquet was actually an opportunity for Concubine Zhao to select concubines for the princes, every girl was filled with nervousness, fearing that they would lose their composure in front of the concubine.

Concubine Zhao did not restrict them too much and allowed them to move freely. The girls walked together in the garden, and some began to recite poems, hoping to attract the attention of the princes.

In the pavilion, several princes were also watching the group of young women. Shen Siyan was concentrating on the chess game, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, only occasionally reminding Baili Yan to make a move.
