Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

When Ye Wanning learned that Princess Longyu had killed the envoy from Wusu, her mind went blank, and she immediately ordered a carriage to be prepared.

When I arrived at the palace gate, I realized that I didn't have a palace pass and couldn't enter the palace.

She then went to the Prince Duan's residence and met Princess Xihe, who was under house arrest.

"You want me to take you to the palace?" Princess Xihe asked naturally. "Even if you plead for your aunt, your grandfather won't listen to you."

"I...I just feel uneasy and want to go see." Ye Wanning knew she wasn't that important, but she couldn't sit still; once she sat down, she couldn't help feeling anxious.

Princess Xihe, on the contrary, was much calmer. "Don't be afraid. Your aunt thought about the consequences before she dared to make a move. Besides, Grandfather wouldn't do anything to your aunt for the sake of an outsider. At most, she'll be confined to her quarters like me. Don't worry, nothing will happen. If you're really worried, I'll wait with you at the palace gate."

At this moment, Princess Duan arrived. "I think you just want to take this opportunity to go out. How dare you even say something like 'wait with me'?"

"Mother, why do you think of me like that? I only thought of accompanying Sister Wanning because I saw that she was anxious." Princess Xihe tried to go over and act coquettishly, but was pushed away by her mother.

“You’re a grown woman now, and you still talk like that all the time. I think we should send you to the Imperial Academy to continue your studies.” Princess Xihe immediately shook her head as soon as Princess Duan finished speaking, saying it would be strange. Seeing her daughter like this, Princess Duan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Wanning, don’t worry. Xihe is right. Since Longyu dared to do it, she must have a way to get away with it. Otherwise, who would dare to kill an envoy?”

That's what she said, but Ye Wanning didn't know what Princess Longyu was thinking.

She was filled with anxiety. Since Princess Xihe wouldn't take her into the palace, she decided to wait at the palace gate.

When Princess Xihe heard that Ye Wanning still wanted to go to the palace gate, she pleaded with her mother, "Didn't you always say that I should learn more from Sister Wanning? She's feeling uneasy right now, so I'll stay with her for a while. Please don't make me stay in the room any longer. I promise I won't go anywhere this time."

"Alright, stop with that. I know what you're doing." Princess Duan softened and relented. "You can go out, but remember what you said: you can't sneak off to play somewhere else."

"I understand!" With her mother's permission, Princess Xihe couldn't wait to pull Ye Wanning outside.

"This child!" Princess Duan sighed, shaking her head as she looked at her daughter. On the matter of the marriage alliance, she and Princess Longyu were on the same side. She knew her daughter's personality very well. If her daughter were to go on a marriage alliance, she feared she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of her life.

Princess Xihe was able to go out, and she excitedly looked out the window the whole way. "You're so lucky. Except for going out during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I've been locked up all the time. My mother said she wanted to temper my temper, but I think I'm fine as I am. Why should I be as boring as Ning'an? Don't you think so?"

Ye Wanning smiled faintly, "The princess is lively and lovely, and indeed very likable."

"What about Ning An? Do you like her?" Xi He pulled Ye Wanning, wanting an answer from her.

Ye Wanning changed the subject, saying they were almost at the palace gate.

Xihe pouted, "I know you're afraid of offending people, but fine, I won't pressure you. Don't overthink it, your aunt will be fine. Hey, isn't that Xie Bohuai?"

The carriage stopped at the palace gate. Ye Wanning looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xie Bohuai jump off the horse, his body straight.

"Actually, Xie Bohuai is good-looking. He has the best face in the whole capital, so it's no wonder Zhaoyun is so fond of him. But Xie Bohuai is too scary. I don't even dare to say a word to him, let alone... Hey, why is he coming over here?" Seeing Xie Bohuai getting closer and closer, Princess Xihe quickly closed the wooden window, hoping that Xie Bohuai would not come over.

But things didn't go as planned, and Xie Bohuai stood by the carriage.

"Greetings, Princess." Xie Bohuai's voice was cold, and Princess Xihe in the carriage trembled in fear.

"What...what is it?" Princess Xihe asked through the wooden window, not daring to even open it.

Seeing her like this, Ye Wanning couldn't help but find it amusing. Was it really necessary to be so afraid?

But thinking about it carefully, Xie Bohuai's reputation is indeed not good, the kind that can stop a child from crying at night.

"The princess's carriage is stopped at the palace gate. I would like to ask what business you have with me?" Xie Bohuai asked.

"It's not that I have something to do, it's that Sister Wanning is worried about Aunt and wants to wait for Aunt to come out at the palace gate." Princess Xihe could see a figure outside the wooden window. "I'm fine, you go and do your thing."

Xie Bohuai looked at the wooden window. "The princess represents Prince Duan, so it's best to be cautious in her actions to avoid being accused of being in cahoots with Princess Longyu."

"Okay, okay, I understand. I won't get off the carriage." Princess Xihe thought to herself that Xie Bohuai was really talking a lot today, rambling on and on. She never saw him care about the affairs of the Prince Duan's residence on ordinary days.

Ye Wanning felt that Xie Bohuai's words seemed to have a hidden meaning; he appeared to be reminding Princess Xihe, but in reality, he was reminding her.

But she and Princess Longyu were already bound together, and that couldn't be changed.

While Ye Wanning was frowning in thought, Xie Bohuai had already left.

Princess Xihe let out a long sigh. "Has Xie Bohuai lost his mind today?"

Just as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the wooden window. Princess Xihe thought it was Xie Bohuai returning and hugged Ye Wanning tightly.

It turned out that Qingshan was the one who came. "My master said that it must be stuffy in the carriage, so we should go to a nearby teahouse and leave two servants here to wait."

"I know!" Princess Xihe replied irritably, glancing furtively out the wooden window to make sure no one was watching before patting her chest and sighing, "Oh no! If that servant had told Xie Bohuai, wouldn't I have offended him? Sister Wanning, do you know that Xie Bohuai is the one person you absolutely cannot offend in the capital?"

“I know,” Ye Wanning said, “but he wouldn’t be that petty, would he?”

"No, his reputation in the capital is absolutely terrible, I'm really doomed. Waaah, I knew I shouldn't have come out today." With that, Princess Xihe perked up again, "No way, since I've already offended him, I'm going to go to a restaurant and have some fun for a while!"

Ye Wanning said she wasn't in the mood and told Princess Xihe to go by herself.

"My dear sister, please come with me. I'm so pitiful, please keep me company." Princess Xihe clung to Ye Wanning, which surprised Yunzhi. Princess Xihe was the most unpretentious princess she had ever met.

Ye Wanning insisted on waiting here, saying, "How about this, we can have someone go and buy what you want to eat, and we can wait here instead."

"Alright, I'll have the servant go buy it." Princess Xihe called over her attendant and named three restaurants in a row. "Go quickly and come back soon. The braised pork knuckle must be eaten while it's hot, don't let it get cold. Also, the wontons at the end of the street, I want some vinegar!"

Several servants set off separately to buy food for Princess Xihe.

Of course, Princess Xihe also bought the share for Ye Wanning and her servant. She looked boredly at the palace gate in the distance, hoping that her aunt would come out soon.

Instead of her aunt, she met her brother first.

The moment Princess Xihe saw her brother approaching, she guiltily lowered the wooden window, but it was too late; her brother was already walking towards them.
