From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

Zhou Zhuoqi is the emperor's youngest son, sixteen years old this year. He has a cheerful and outgoing personality and is very much loved by the emperor.

Bai Yanli is the emperor's seventh son and the seventh prince who was sent to Jiangnan by the emperor since he was a child.

Back then, his mother had committed some heinous crime and disappeared from the palace overnight. The emperor suddenly became extremely disgusted with him, but was reluctant to kill him, so he sent him to Jiangnan, out of his sight.

He was sent to the Bai family to be raised and became Bai Yanli, the second son of the Bai family.

Even though Bai Yanli returned to the capital in the past two years, he and the emperor have not met.

Feeling relieved, Zhou Zhuoqi leaned forward and whispered, "Brother, the court has been unstable recently. Can you find a chance to meet with the emperor?"

There is opportunity in turmoil.

What's more, if the crown prince is to be deposed, it will be a one-shot deal, and any prince will have a chance. Zhou Zhuoqi is only interested in having fun and has no interest in government affairs, but that doesn't mean he can't see who is suitable.

He is the brother who has always been raised outside.

Definitely the best choice.

After hearing what Zhou Zhuoqi said, Bai Yanli smiled slightly.

"King Wei."

Zhou Zhuoqi straightened his body, thinking that he had hit the nail on the head for Bai Yanli and that he had found the organization.

Unexpectedly, he said indifferently: "It costs extra money to discuss this."

Zhou Zhuoqi: ...

Bai Yanli didn't want to say more, so Zhou Zhuoqi stopped asking. He could never guess what he was thinking.

The Prince of Wei's mansion was bustling with people. Noblemen and ladies came and went in a constant stream, making it very lively. Zhou Zhuoqi pointed at the people coming and going by the lake below.

"Look, brother, I'm hosting the Mid-Autumn Festival party today, and I invited all those people here. It's lively, isn't it?"

"Is the capital city more noisy than Jiangnan?"

The capital is naturally more lively than the south of the Yangtze River.

Bai Yanli looked around casually. The banquet was held by the Qingbo Lake. It was very lively with noble men and women coming and going.

From afar, a green figure suddenly came into his sight. The girl had bright eyes, white teeth, and snow-white skin. She sat in the middle of a group of noble ladies, humming and smiling softly. Her cold white skin seemed to be glowing in the crowd, and everyone else dimmed for a moment, as if they could only see her.

Bai Yanli has lived in Jiangnan for a long time. His family is a businessman who studies fair skin and has done a lot of research on skin appearance.

The girl's natural whiteness cannot be achieved even with pearls and jade.

This color is exactly the perfect skin color they have been pursuing for many years.

I saw Bai Yanli staring in one direction.

The attendant beside Zhou Zhuoqi hurried forward to introduce: "Mr. Bai, that is Tang Wanru, the eldest daughter of the Tang family."

Zhou Zhuoqi also looked in the direction he was looking. The white color was indeed too dazzling, and it made people's eyes brighten.

"Seventh Brother really has a unique vision. He can see the most beautiful scenery at a glance."

Tang Wanru?

Bai Yanli seemed to be thinking about something.

His spy in the palace came to report the day before.

The prince is about to fall. The Yongning Marquisate is the first shogunate behind the prince, and there is no escape from this.

The most talked-about news in the capital recently is naturally the matter of the prince of Yongning Marquis's mansion proposing to the eldest daughter of the Tang family.

The girl with the sweet smile.

She may not even realize that she is standing on the edge of a cliff, and what awaits her is an abyss from which there is no escape.

Thinking of this, Bai Yanli's deep eyes shook slightly.

"Seventh Brother?" Zhou Zhuoqi saw Bai Yanli staring at Tang Wanru in a trance and couldn't help but tease, "Seventh Brother, is it because the scenery is so beautiful that you can't help but linger?"

Bai Yanli's eyes flickered, but his expression remained unchanged as he said softly, "Indeed."

"The scenery is so incredibly beautiful that it makes people feel impulsive," he said casually.

"What impulse?" Zhou Zhuoqi opened his eyes wide with curiosity.

Bai Yanli's pupils flickered, and he said, "I want to put this beautiful scenery into a cage, so that I can admire it day and night."

Prisoner, prisoner reward?

Zhou Zhuoqi shuddered all over when he heard this.

*

Qingbo Lake.

The ladies sat together and chatted.

Tang Wanru and Wu Ying, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, sat together. The other noble ladies stood not far away, staring at Tang Wanru's sweet smile unconsciously.

"This is what a lady from a noble family looks like. The one before always dressed like a parrot. She was afraid that others wouldn't see her." Miss Li said. She was talking about Tang Yue'er.

"That's right." Miss Zhang also said, "If she didn't represent the Tang family every time she came out, and everyone gave her some face, who would want to pay attention to her?"

"But it's strange. Why did Miss Tang rarely show up before? If she came out more often, how could that concubine's daughter be allowed to run around?"

"Haven't you heard yet?" Miss Li said, "Lord Tang favors his concubine over his wife, and favors his concubines. The status of concubines in the Tang family has also risen."

"I see."

A few people were chatting, and Tang Yue'er happened to be standing not far away and overheard everything. Her face looked extremely ugly.

She clenched her hands in her sleeves, bit her lips and thought, the more these women try to curry favor with Tang Wanru, the worse their fate will be in the future.

They won't be able to keep gossiping for much longer!

Thinking of this, Tang Yueer's expression became better. She didn't have time to be angry with them today. She had more important tasks.

That is to meet her fiancé!

Although Tang Yue'er had been engaged to Bai Yanli before, she had never met him and did not know what he looked like.

At this time, she, a woman, could not go around asking around. She was feeling irritable, and when she looked up, she saw a figure standing in the wind on the second floor of the Zhongyu Tower in the Prince Wei's Mansion.

The man was dressed in black, with noble features and an outstanding temperament.

Her heart sank.

I couldn't move my eyes away.

Who is that?

How could he be so handsome and unparalleled, making people so fascinated?

At this time, a voice sounded beside her ear: "Don't you know him? That's Bai Yanli, the second son of the Bai family."

"what?"

Tang Yue'er only knew that the Bai family's business in the capital had expanded rapidly in the past two years, but she didn't know that they had reached a position where they could sit with King Wei Zhou Zhuoqi.

She suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had not refused the kiss at the beginning, would she be the one sitting there with him now?

Tang Yue'er thought so, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

The eldest daughter of the Zhao family who had just introduced her to her couldn't help but laugh when she saw her like this: "You're not going to have any evil thoughts about the young master of the Bai family, are you?"

Tang Yue'er was stunned, then she turned around and saw that the person talking to her was Zhao Mengyi, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family.

Zhao Mengyi is not a sociable person and rarely spends time with other noble ladies.

When Zhao Meng thought that Tang Yue'er might have such thoughts about Bai Yanli, she couldn't hide the sarcasm in her heart at all: "Hahaha, don't make people laugh to death. Now even a legitimate daughter like me can't go to the Bai family, let alone a concubine's daughter like you."

"A concubine's daughter!" Zhao Mengyi emphasized exaggeratedly, "You are a concubine's daughter."

"You!" Tang Yue'er's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Concubine! Concubine!

So what if she is a concubine's daughter!

Even if she was a concubine's daughter, wouldn't the prince of Yongning Marquis's Mansion marry someone else just to protect her? Wasn't Bai Yanli, the second son of the Bai family, her fiancé?

Although she is a concubine's daughter.

But my life is a thousand times better than these women's! Ten thousand times better!

She wanted to make these self-righteous daughters of the first wife open their eyes and watch as they were dragged into the quagmire by the turmoil in the capital.

How she thrived!
