"Of course not."

Mu Yunchen looked up and was startled!

He called out somewhat fearfully, "Second Brother."

Mu Yunchao glanced indifferently at the mischievous boy, ignoring him, and half-squatted down to look at Xiao Yuxi, "This little horse seems obedient, but it's not yet tamed and could easily get hurt. How about I go find you a more docile little horse?"

Upon hearing the guard's words, Mu Yunchao rushed over. He knew that his third brother was incredibly mischievous. The ponies in the horse farm had not been specially trained. They looked obedient and cute, but in reality, they were fierce and difficult to train. They had not been properly tempered and were very likely to hurt people.

That third brother of his, who doesn't learn anything, just plays around all day and always gets into trouble.

Mu Yunchao was furious and had a serious expression, but he spoke to Yu Xi in a gentle and soft voice, as if afraid that she would be frightened.

Xiao Yuxi tilted her head and looked at Mu Yunchen, who was standing dejectedly behind Mu Yunchao, then looked at Mu Yunchao, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Okay."

Mu Yunchao's face, which had been as cold as ice, melted instantly, and he pinched Xiao Yuxi's little face with great tenderness.

"Young Master Mu..." A shy and timid voice suddenly rang out from the side.

Mu Yunchao frowned slightly, turned his head to look at her, stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Princess Yunle."

Ye Shuyue held the handkerchief, feeling a little happy inside, but her face remained gentle and sweet, her eyes filled with love. She seemed to want to say something, but hesitated, her cheeks flushed slightly, and finally she shyly shook her head, "Young Master Mu, there's no need for such formality. Just call me Shuyue."

“This is against etiquette. Moreover, Princess Yunle, this is the outer courtyard. It is best for young ladies not to come here.” Mu Yunchao had no patience to look at her anymore and directly picked up Xiao Yuxi with both hands.

With a startled cry, Xiao Yuxi sat steadily in her second brother's arms.

With her big, round eyes, she looked at her older sister, who was sitting next to her grandmother and seemed to be very much liked by her grandmother, and then at her second brother, who was looking at her gently.

Her little hand gripped her second brother's collar tightly.

Mu Yunchao sensed something, lowered his eyes to look at the little girl, and asked softly, "Xixi, what's wrong?"

This was the first time Ye Shuyue had seen Mu Yunchao so gentle. Her already fluttering girlish feelings intensified, and she wanted to get closer to him.

Xiao Yuxi turned her head to look at the young lady again. The young lady's eyes were full of her second brother. She had seen this look before. When Sister Yun went to the market with her that day, she stared at a man accompanying a little girl to buy things on the road.

She said she liked him, but they couldn't be together.

and so……

Little Yu Xi innocently whispered in her second brother's ear, "That older sister likes second brother."

Mu Yunchao raised an eyebrow slightly. He didn't think of himself as some kind of hot commodity. He was usually jokingly called the Cold-Faced King of Hell by outsiders. Why would any woman be so foolish as to like him? If there was, she would be a fool.

Looking at Xiao Yuxi's rosy cheeks, Mu Yunchao asked with a smile, "Does Xixi have someone she likes?"

"Yes." Xiao Yuxi nodded seriously, her face solemn.

Mu Yunchao's expression gradually turned cold. In his previous life, this little girl had never said that she had someone she liked, but in this life she actually has one?

Who was it? Which young master was it that stole his own cabbage without his knowledge?

Outrageous!

Or should we secretly break his leg and then throw him onto the frontier battlefield for some training?

But, won't Xixi be sad?

It's okay, just do it secretly.

They completely forgot that Xixi in front of them was only a five-year-old child.

"I like my second sister, I like my grandmother, I like my aunt, I like Brother Potato, and I also like my second brother." Xiao Yuxi gently kissed her second brother's cheek.

She kissed her second sister like that last time, and her second sister was so happy, so her second brother will definitely be happy too. He won't suddenly give her a cold look! Although her second brother is handsome even with a cold face, he's not as handsome as her gentle second brother!

Mu Yunchao was stunned after being kissed. Looking at the little dumpling in front of him, he felt a warm feeling in his heart, but he still seriously lectured, "You can't kiss other men like that in the future." He paused and added, "Except for me."

Xiao Yuxi tilted her head in confusion.

Mu Yunchao recalled what she had just said innocently. Since he didn't have such thoughts, he should stop her from having them and nip the fire in the bud.

He always plans ahead.

Thinking this, she carried Xiao Yuxi and slowly walked to Ye Shuyue.

Ye Shuyue held her breath instantly, blinking as she looked at Mu Yunchao, who was so close to her for the first time.

Brother Yun Chao...

Princess Yunle.

"Young Master Mu..."

"I will not marry for several years. This may be a bit presumptuous of me, please forgive me. If the princess has any such thoughts, I hope she will give them up." Mu Yunchao said calmly, intending to turn and leave.

Ye Shuyue's face was pale, and she seemed to be about to collapse. She held onto a pillar beside her. "Young Master Mu, in the capital now, among the women of marriageable age, no one is better than me in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even if it were a few more years, I believe that my talents would still be unmatched. It's not that I have no other choice, I just want to follow my heart."

Once these words were spoken, even the most foolish person would understand their meaning, let alone the Second Young Master Mu Yunchao.

Mu Yunchao never imagined that she would like him.

They had no contact whatsoever, only having met a few times at palace banquets. And in her previous life, it seemed this princess had been married off for political reasons?

Mu Yunchao sighed slightly. He didn't care much about personal feelings, and the matter of Yue Kingdom wouldn't have any results for several years. He couldn't waste the girl's youth.

“Princess Yunle’s talent is unmatched, but matters of the heart cannot be forced.” Mu Yunchao paused, recalling the marriage alliance in his previous life, and then said, “There is one more thing. If the princess still wants to be a princess in Yue Kingdom, she should not attend the palace banquet during the Lantern Festival.”

Mu Yunchao bowed, then gracefully carried Yu Xi away. Mu Yunchen glanced back at the princess he had never met in his previous life and followed his brother away at a trot.

She remembered every single word he had ever said to her. Yun Le felt a lump in her throat, held back her tears, and looked down at the flamboyant flowers blooming beside her.

Why can't we force it?

She is the only princess; when has there ever been anything she couldn't have?

Without effort, you have nothing; but if you take action, it's uncertain whether you'll be able to marry him.

Ye Shuyue instantly straightened her back and returned to her haughty and aloof demeanor as a princess.

He glanced at the crowd that had just arrived.

Fortunately, they arrived too late and heard nothing.

She must get everything she wants.
