"I'm truly honored, but I'm afraid this is against the rules."
Bai Shu refused verbally, but she was delighted in her heart. Who would refuse a sister who was beautiful, rich and had advantages?
Moreover, if the eldest princess is won over, wouldn't that be equivalent to conquering the eldest sister-in-law's family in advance?
It's a thing that has a hundred benefits and no harm!
"Except for the Emperor's uncle, no one dares to question what I say."
The princess was right. She dared to divorce her husband because her family gave her enough confidence.
Who says the royal family is heartless?
The young emperor and the queen stood by her side, including the still immature Xiao Wan'er, who unconditionally supported any decision she made.
So she can act without any worries.
If she was afraid of anyone in Dongye, it would probably be Xiao Moqing...
"Just call me sister with me. We just came out to relax today, so there's no need to be so formal."
Liu Ruyin, who was standing by, suddenly spoke up. She was extremely shocked when she heard the eldest princess tell her about this matter.
At first, she only thought that Bai Shu could regulate her sister's body and help her get pregnant.
But she never expected that her damn brother-in-law would play with her family in his hands.
Fortunately, Bai Shu helped, otherwise the princess would have been tortured to death.
So she knew that the eldest princess really treated Bai Shu as her own.
"Okay, then when no one is around, my sister will call me sister."
Bai Shu didn't want to refuse, but she agreed as soon as Liu Ruyin asked.
The three of them chatting and laughing on the shore were a beautiful sight, attracting countless passers-by to stop and take a look.
"Alas! I was really busy with household chores the past two days, so I finally have some free time. Tomorrow I will definitely go to the Prime Minister and Madam Bai to thank them for raising you to such an outstanding level."
The eldest princess no longer mentioned me, and went out for fun with Liu Ruyin and Bai Shu like ordinary sisters.
"You just said you weren't shy, but if you keep talking, you'll be being polite!"
"Sister Liu, let's get on the boat first."
Bai Shu's playful appearance made the two of them laugh, and no one mentioned whether they really wanted to come to the house.
Bai Shu deliberately let Liu Ruyin go first. She pulled the eldest princess behind and whispered in her ear,
"If you want to relax, I have another good place to go. I wonder if you would like to go?"
Bai Shu's cunning eyes startled the princess.
She still didn't know what this meant. Why should she avoid Liu Ruyin when there were other good places to go?
"That Ruyin..."
Bai Shu looked at the princess's stunned expression, her red lips slightly parted, her eyes puzzled, and she almost laughed out loud.
Maybe there's a big drama going on in her mind right now?
Bai Shu did not deliberately hide it and explained directly,
"There are many sisters on the boat, including my eldest brother. My original intention today was to help them create an opportunity and resolve the misunderstanding."
"My eldest brother is absolutely sincere to Sister Liu, and I can vouch for his character."
"If you're worried, you can leave Nanny Gui here with you. If you're really worried, then we can—"
Bai Shu was still unsure of the princess's intentions. She just felt that sincerity was the only thing that could move people.
Besides, the princess is Liu Ruyin's family member and should have the right to know.
She thought that if the princess was really worried, she would try another method.
After all, matchmaking is a good thing, and we must not make things worse.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the eldest princess.
"There's nothing to worry about. Young people need to create more opportunities. I think your elder brother is a good person and knows everything about him. I'm relieved."
When the princess heard what Bai Shu said, she immediately understood that this was not just a simple boat trip, but that the old man under the moon had come to act as a matchmaker!
Since the target is Bai Zixuan, she will not stop him.
As an elder sister, she naturally knew Liu Ruyin's little thoughts, and had witnessed Bai Zixuan's infatuation with her own eyes.
It's just that Liu Ruyin is stubborn. If she can't get over the hurdle in her heart, no matter how much others persuade her, it will be useless.
So it is a good thing to give them a chance to be alone. As long as the misunderstandings are resolved, happiness will be within reach.
“——”
This time it was Bai Shu who was stunned. She looked at the princess's sparkling eyes and sly smile.
Suddenly, she was confused. Was it her or the eldest princess who was trying to bring them together?
Why does it feel like the eldest princess is more active than her?
"Okay, let's go relax?"
Bai Shu took advantage of the fact that the princess did not regret her decision and immediately decided to slip away.
"Walk!"
The princess did not hesitate at all, and even Aunt Gui beside her laughed so hard that her teeth were visible.
The Bai family and the Liu family are old friends. Whether it is Prime Minister Bai Heng or his children, they are all outstanding people.
If Su Yunxi hadn't interfered, the two families would have become closer long ago. Why would they have to wait until now to go through the trouble of planning?
"It's time to sail!"
When Bai Shu saw Liu Ruyin boarding the pleasure boat, she took advantage of her inattention and ordered the boatman to start the boat.
Liu Ruyin was left alone at the bow, confused and surprised. In her desperation, she almost wanted to run ashore.
However, the boat was far away from the shore and there was no time to rush over. Moreover, the water level on the lake was unpredictable, so she did not dare to go forward rashly.
"Sister! Sister Shu!"
"Your Highness! Miss Bai!"
Liu Ruyin could only shout to them in panic from the bow, and the maid beside her also shouted anxiously.
Bai Shu and the eldest princess stood calmly on the shore, trying to calm her down.
"Sister Liu, we still have things to take care of. We'll come pick you up later. We're all family on the boat, so remember to enjoy the scenery!"
Bai Shu saw her elder brother appear behind Liu Ruyin and smiled knowingly.
The eldest princess also raised the corners of her lips, giving them silent encouragement.
Liu Ruyin, who was standing opposite them, watched them leave with a smile and arm in arm, and she understood what was going on.
But she's not ready yet...
"The sun is shining brightly today, and the flowers by the lake are as white as clouds and snow. I wonder if I, Bai, would be so lucky as to invite you to enjoy the beautiful scenery with me?"
Just when Liu Ruyin was hesitant and entangled, Bai Zixuan finally spoke.
His voice is as melodious as the sound of a piano, blending in with the sunny weather, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.
But in his sleeves, which were invisible to others, Bai Zixuan was so nervous that his palms were sweating and he couldn't even feel the urge to clench his fists.
His heart was in his throat, and his nerves were on edge, as if Liu Ruyin's next words could determine his life or death...
Liu Ruyin, who had been extremely nervous, felt incredibly relaxed when she heard Bai Zixuan speak.
She suddenly realized that the time she thought was gone forever might have never been far away.
Just like she and Bai Shu, talking again after many years, they were still as familiar as ever.
She had been nervously avoiding it because she probably just didn't know how to start...
"Um."
Liu Ruyin turned around under Bai Zixuan's expectant gaze.
Sure enough, when she looked up, the figure before her overlapped with the big brother who had shielded her from the wind and rain when she was young...
