The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

Ye Shuyin was not afraid at all, and stood up as well, squinting at her.

When gods fight, ordinary people suffer.

Everyone else was trembling with fear, worried that the two might actually start fighting.

The children on this side are all quite young, but they are all children who have been taught by their families. No one dares to easily take sides, after all, the emperor has only been on the throne for less than three years and has no offspring yet. No one knows which one will turn the tide in this new dynasty.

Moreover, the children of these two princesses are actually quite similar; none of them have been granted the title of princess so far, which shows that in the eyes of the current emperor, they are not considered anything special.

"Yan Shanshan, who do you think you are? Do you really think you can cause trouble in the Duke of Mu's mansion?" Ye Shuyin's youthful face turned cold, without a trace of a smile.

Yan Shanshan was trembling with anger. As long as her sister gave birth to the emperor's eldest son first, she refused to believe that her sister would dare to speak to her like that again!

“I am from a noble family! I will be granted a title sooner or later, but you, ha, a daughter of a military family, who doesn’t even know martial arts, will be used as a pawn to be married off sooner or later.”

Ye Shuyin smiled, not caring much, "It's okay, I'm not like you, with half-brothers and half-sisters. My parents are much more loving."

Ye Shuyin grabbed Yan Shanshan's wrist, which was slapping her hand, and squeezed it tightly.

"Ah!" Yan Shanshan felt as if her wrist was about to be crushed, and she was suddenly startled.

Wasn't it said that Ye Shuyin was physically weak and completely unable to practice martial arts? How could this be? She felt as if her wrist was about to be broken.

The girl next to her quickly stepped forward and said softly, "Miss Ye, this is the Duke of Mu's mansion."

Ye Shuyin glanced at her and sneered inwardly. Ning Xiaohe, Yan Shanshan's personal follower, although she was General Ning's adopted daughter, had no backbone whatsoever.

Ye Shuyin let go of her hand and, sure enough, saw her go to massage Yan Shanshan's wrist.

A young lady from another prominent family spoke up, "Shuyin, don't cause trouble at the Duke of Mu's mansion."

"Shuyin, please don't..."

"What?" Ye Shuyin looked at the group of people who had spoken. "So I was supposed to just stand there and let her slap me? You don't feel any pain now that the slap didn't hit your face?"

"Shuyin." A gentle voice came.

All the ladies stepped aside, making way for each other.

Ye Shuyin was slightly taken aback, and quickly stepped forward, like a child who had said something wrong, "Sister."

"Princess Yunle." The young lady from the noble family standing beside her quickly stood up and bowed.

Yan Shanshan gritted her teeth, and despite her reluctance, she still bowed.

Ye Shuyue stepped forward to help Yan Shanshan up, "Sister Shanshan, please forgive me. My sister is spoiled at home and doesn't know how to speak properly. I hope you can be more understanding."

Although the words were full of apology, there was no real remorse in the tone, and the smile on the face was merely superficial.

Although his words criticized Ye Shuyin, they were actually meant to defend her.

Yan Shanshan naturally knew this, but because of her status, she still had to grit her teeth and say, "It's alright."

"The main purpose of separating the female guests at this plum blossom viewing banquet is something you all know. So, as soon as I heard that there was some unpleasantness going on here, I came over immediately. Shuyin, you know what I mean?" Ye Shuyue smiled gently, extremely dignified and generous.

Ye Shuyin nodded, "I understand what you mean, Sister."

If it weren't for the fact that female guests under the age of ten were specifically separated this time, Ye Shuyue would have preferred to make friends herself. As for the Duke of Mu's mansion, her eyes were always fixed on the second young master of the Duke of Mu's mansion.

When the Emperor ascended the throne unexpectedly, the selection of consorts was rushed. She was underage at the time, so to balance the positions of her two aunts' daughters, the Emperor bestowed upon one the title of Consort and the other the title of Princess. Now, she is approaching marriageable age, but has yet to find an opportunity to get close to the Second Young Master Mu. This plum blossom banquet is her greatest chance.

Seeing that she understood her meaning, Ye Shuyue turned to look at Mu Sili, the third young lady of the Mu family who was born out of wedlock, raised her hand, and left with her help.

The atmosphere in the pavilion relaxed only after Princess Yunle left.

"Princess Yunle's clothes were so beautiful just now, were they a gift from the Emperor?"

"That's for sure. Princess Yunle was the first princess to be granted the title, and I've heard that the current emperor dotes on this younger sister!"

When Yan Shanshan saw that the other young ladies from noble families had all switched sides as soon as Princess Yunle arrived, she sat down and ate her pastries with resentment.

After eating one, his expression changed slightly, and he took another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

She was angry, not because she thought the pastry was delicious!

Absolutely not!

Ning Xiaohe stood to the side, not daring to sit down, and stayed by Yan Shanshan's side. Seeing that she liked it, she moved the other kinds of pastries closer.

"It seems to be Miss Mu from the Mu family who has come!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else crowded to the edge to watch.

Then a little child dressed in pink and wrapped in a red cloak was led by an exquisitely dressed maid, slowly walking towards them with his short legs.

For a moment, the pavilion fell silent. After a long while, someone whispered, "Is the Mu family's cousin so young?"

Her first words expressed the sentiments of everyone present who saw her.

Although we knew from the beginning that the Mu family separated the girls under ten years old from the female guests in order to find playmates for this cousin, in fact, the children brought by each family were all sensible and most of them were seven years old or older.

This little girl, who looked no more than three or four years old, resembled a mochi dumpling from afar. How could they possibly befriend her?

How is this any different from raising a child?

Little Yu Xi skipped along, holding Ying Rui's hand, and asked curiously, "Will they play with Xi Xi?"

Yingrui patiently said, "Of course, if Miss has someone she likes and wants her to play with, she can just tell me quietly, and then she can go out and play together like she does with the Third Young Master."

The last time Yingrui secretly let Xiaoyuxi out to play with the Third Young Master, it was actually the Duchess's idea.

While maintaining appearances was important, the Duchess of Liguo knew that a banquet would be held during this period, leaving her little time to spend with Xiaoyuxi. So she simply turned a blind eye and let Xiaoyuxi go out to play.

Anyway, it's in the Mu residence, so it won't get lost.

Yingrui escorted Xiaoyuxi to the pavilion, and then, as the Second Miss had requested, instructed the maids from each household to leave together.

The second young lady meant that her cousin was a bit timid, and these people were all trying to curry favor with the Duke of Mu's family, after their money, not their character. This would be a good opportunity to toughen up her cousin's courage and improve her social skills.

Xiao Yuxi looked around blankly as a group of older sisters surrounded her. She couldn't find Yingrui, who had brought her there, and felt a little aggrieved and wanted to cry.
