The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

"Why are you staring at me, Young General?" Wenrou chuckled and teased.

Huo Yunting couldn't help blushing, and quickly turned his head away, then changed the subject and said, "It's getting late, let's go."

After saying that, he hurried out as if he was running away. Wenrou saw that he was really shy, so she didn't say anything more.

Huo Yunting rode his horse, following Wenrou's sedan chair, to the birthday party. Nangong Rongruo had invited almost every young man and woman in the capital to attend this party.

The entrance to the birthday banquet hall was filled with sedan chairs from various families. Huo Yunting dismounted, not forgetting Wenrou's words. He walked directly to the sedan chair, opened the curtain, and gently helped Wenrou down.

Although Liu Ruyi was a concubine's daughter, she was also invited. Nangong Rongruo was the prince's companion, so the young men who attended his birthday party were naturally rich or noble. Liu Ruyi also hoped to get to know some of them.

The young ladies of each family probably had the same idea, so they all dressed up extra cutely. Among the women in colorful clothes, only Liu Ruyi wore a moon-white long dress, which was particularly conspicuous.

She had a rather aloof appearance, and in white, she looked even more attractive. Seeing that all the young masters were attracted by Liu Ruyi, the daughter of the Liu family could not help but tear her handkerchief.

Liu Ruyi looked at these gorgeously dressed young ladies with disdain, looking down on them from the bottom of her heart. When she was on the battlefield, these women were only good at embroidering in their boudoirs.

Suddenly, Liu Ruyi's eyes lit up when she saw Huo Yunting riding a tall horse. She couldn't help but want to go forward, but just as she was about to call him, she saw Huo Yunting dismount neatly and walk over to a sedan chair in three or two steps.

Then, Liu Ruyi saw a pair of tender white hands stretched out from the sedan chair and placed them on Huo Yunting's hands. Huo Yunting then helped the other person down from the sedan chair with exceptional tenderness.

Liu Ruyi's face suddenly darkened, especially when she saw the woman who came down from the sedan chair was also wearing a white dress. Liu Ruyi pursed her lips in displeasure.

She thought about it and walked over: "Yun Ting." She called softly.

Huo Yunting turned around and smiled when he saw Liu Ruyi. He then said familiarly, "Ruyi, are you also coming to Young Master Rong Ruo's birthday party?"

Hearing this, Wenrou turned to look at the legendary Miss Liu and had to admit that this Miss Liu seemed to be different from the average young lady from aristocratic family.

Huo Yunting noticed the gentle gaze and quickly introduced: "Ruyi, this is Princess Roujia."

Liu Ruyi bowed gracefully and said, "I've heard of the princess from Yunting a long time ago. It's a rare opportunity to see her today." Liu Ruyi's words and actions showed that she was unusually familiar with Huo Yunting. Moreover, she only said that she had heard of the princess from Huo Yunting, but did not say whether she had heard good things or bad things about her.

She said this because she wanted to make Princess Roujia angry. If she could get angry with her because of this, that would be great. It would also let Huo Yunting see what kind of bullying she would suffer if she became a concubine.

But what Liu Ruyi didn't expect was that the other party didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he turned to look at Huo Yunting and said with a smile: "What bad things did you say about me again?"

Huo Yunting touched his nose with a guilty conscience. He didn't seem to have told Liu Ruyi anything about the princess. He quickly said, "Ruyi, don't talk nonsense. I didn't tell you about the princess."

Liu Ruyi's heart sank when she heard this, and the expression on her face almost collapsed. She looked at Huo Yunting and Wenrou, and felt that Huo Yunting did not look like he had just been forced into marriage. Instead, he was very close to Wenrou.

Liu Ruyi was very unhappy, but she couldn't show it in front of others, so she said softly, "Okay, Yun Ting, I have to go in with my sisters quickly, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be a place for me at this banquet."

Huo Yunting frowned upon hearing this and said loudly, "How could you not have a place at the banquet? If your sisters bully you again, come find me."

Wenrou looked at Liu Ruyi, and could tell that she was pretending. After all, in the imperial palace, with so many concubines scheming against each other, such tricks often happened.

But Wenrou didn't care. She just smiled and said, "Brother Rongruo has reserved a good seat for me. If Miss Liu doesn't have a place to stay, she can join us."

Huo Yunting looked at Wenrou with gratitude, and felt more and more that he had misunderstood her before. She was obviously so kind, but she must have had some unspeakable reasons for forcing him to marry her.

Liu Ruyi noticed Huo Yunting's gaze and almost gnashed her teeth. She had put so much effort into gaining Huo Yunting's favor, but she had never expected that the princess could make Huo Yunting no longer dislike her with just a few casual words.

The banquet was about to begin, and Liu Ruyi naturally would not really follow Huo Yunting and Wenrou. If she were to be with these two in public, she would probably get a bad reputation.

After Huo Yunting followed Wenrou in, he saw a man in a green robe coming towards him. The man was extremely handsome, and the saying "a young man is as beautiful as jade" was true.

When Wenrou saw him, her eyes lit up immediately. She quickly walked up to him and called out in a sweet voice, "Brother Rongruo."

It turned out that this handsome man was Nangong Rongruo, the most handsome man in the capital. Nangong Rongruo's face was filled with doting when he saw Wenrou. He raised his hand and rubbed Wenrou's head, saying with a smile, "I'm so glad to have you here. Your brother, the crown prince, has already arrived. If you hadn't come, my birthday party would have been delayed because of you."

Wenrou stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and quickly handed over the gift she had prepared long ago, saying apologetically, "Brother Rongruo, please forgive me for giving you the bookstore in South City as a gift."

As a princess, Wenrou naturally had many private properties, including a bookshop specializing in rare books. Nangong Rongruo had always been thinking about it, and now Wenrou gave it to him as a gift.

As expected, upon hearing about the book, Nangong Rongruo's smile widened. He accepted the gift and said with satisfaction, "In that case, I'll forgive you this time. This poetry appreciation banquet just happens to be a poetry competition, so I'll just choose a rare copy from the shop as the first prize."

Huo Yunting stood silently by the side. He looked at Wenrou and Nangong Rongruo's intimate behavior and couldn't help but frown. He felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

Wenrou seemed to have just remembered Huo Yunting and quickly introduced him, "Brother Rongruo, this is General Huo."

Nangong Rongruo looked at Huo Yunting and nodded politely. The warmth on his face was gone, and he just greeted him politely.

After exchanging pleasantries with Huo Yunting, he turned to look at Wenrou, his eyes full of doting and intimacy: "I've reserved the best seat for you, let's go together."
