At this moment, Yan Weiyun looked at the eldest princess and suddenly realized something——

He was chased for so many years, and it did not leave any traces in his heart.

Yes.

That is, he has become accustomed to being chased.

Now that the princess has stopped pursuing him, he feels disappointed that he has been abandoned and unwanted.

It's just... quite desolate.

He was unwilling to admit the sudden surge of emotion, but at this moment, standing at the door where the cold wind was howling, he could still truly feel the difference.

Yan Weiyun looked at the eldest princess for the first time.

The eldest princess’ face shape is somewhat similar to Ruyi’s, but Ruyi has almond eyes while the eldest princess has phoenix eyes; Ruyi is as gentle as jade while the eldest princess is naturally a little...cold.

That feeling is very special.

However, this appearance, combined with her previous personality, made her even more arrogant.

A little better now.

Not so arrogant anymore, but still with a sense of being unattainable.

So, he was still disliked?

Don’t want it anymore?

Yan Weiyun took a deep breath, shook his head to get rid of these messy thoughts, and looked at Ruyi, "It's cold outside, let's talk inside."

"Walk."

Ruyi glanced at the eldest princess, feeling quite strange——

She was born sensitive and after observing people's words and expressions for a long time, she was the first to notice the subtle changes between the eldest princess and Yan Weiyun.

It was a habit for Yan Weiyun to dislike the eldest princess, but something else seemed to have grown underneath this habit.

The glance just now and the change in tone clearly showed:

At a certain moment just now, the eldest princess pried open a crack in Yan Weiyun's heart.

Ruyi raised a hidden smile.

She had no close relationship with the eldest princess, but she was born to like seeing good things happen. Other people's joy and good luck would infect her and make her feel warm.

She doesn't like disputes.

I don't like sad stories either.

She pulled the eldest princess, and the three of them entered Yan Weiyun's yard together.

Weird things appeared inside.

There were things that looked like birds but had metal wings parked in the yard, and there were also some other strange utensils. Faint music came from the house, which sounded like a zither, but not quite.

But there was no one playing the piano in the room.

"What's that noise?"

The princess wanted to ask Yan Weiyun, but because of a strange "awkwardness" she couldn't open her mouth, so she had to ask Ruyi -

It seemed that, compared with Yan Weiyun, Ruyi became much closer to her.

Ruyi blushed, "I don't know either. I'll go in and ask Prince Yan later."

She came here just for this thing.

The three of them entered the house.

"Everyone, please sit down."

Yan Weiyun was different from any other nobleman. He was very casual and greeted them like ordinary friends, and the same went for the eldest princess.

But again, he was different from the other young masters. He did not ask anyone to serve tea. Instead, he made tea for the two of them himself. His movements were skillful, but still casual.

There was no etiquette to speak of, so he just put it in front of the two of them and sat down opposite them.

"Tell me in detail."

He looked at Ruyi and ignored the eldest princess, but strangely enough, a trace of his attention was uncontrollably drawn to the eldest princess.

There was another voice repeating in my mind: Am I being rejected? I am no longer wanted?

But on the surface, he couldn't show anything.

Ruyi looked at the thing that made the sound and asked Yan Weiyun, "It's like this, I want to borrow your thing for the palace banquet on New Year's Eve this year."

"Do you have any extra of this?"

Ruyi's eyes sparkled, and she really wanted to go up and ask what that thing was.

Yan Weiyun was stunned, raised her hand and took the small speaker, "This one? If you need it, I have seven or eight more. Are you going to play this for the emperor?"

His eyes looked a little weird.

The emperor wouldn't ask her to do this, would he?

Ruyi shook her head, "It's not for the emperor to hear, it's for outsiders to hear."

She explained her plan in detail, and the eyes of the Princess and Yan Weiyun lit up.

"Are you planning to use the empty city strategy?"

Yan Weiyun was stunned. "Let others mistakenly think that everyone was there, and then detonate the bomb, thinking that you have succeeded, and do something that cannot be undone?"

Ruyi nodded, "This is a backup plan. We will still check the secret passage in advance. But a cunning rabbit has three burrows. I don't want to underestimate my opponent, as that would easily lead to mistakes."

"You are indeed safe."

Yan Weiyun was speechless. "Okay, I'll give you all these things when the time comes. I'll put some other sounds in it according to your idea, but you may need to act it out. You need to ask the emperor for permission on this matter."

He also didn't expect that he had never been able to film a costume drama in modern times, so now he had to film a costume drama in ancient times?

This is simply outrageous!

Ruyi nodded, "Okay, I'll tell the emperor about this."

Out of curiosity, she couldn't help but ask Yan Weiyun, "Did you make this?"

Yan Weiyun felt a little embarrassed when she heard this and shook her head, "I can't make it. This was given to me by a friend. I tried to make it, but it requires a lot of raw materials, which I don't have."

In this era, conditions do not allow it.

Ruyi was confused by what he heard and was very curious about his "friend".

But I was too embarrassed to ask more questions.

Yan Weiyun handed her a small thing that made sounds. "This is called a speaker, but it also has a recording function. I don't know if you can understand what I mean."

Ruyi didn't understand, but figured it out a little: "So it means this can store sounds and then play them back?"

Yan Weiyun nodded, "Smart!"

Ruyi smiled. In fact, she came to him for help today because of this point.

She had already discovered it the last time she was in Zuixinlou.

"Although I don't understand the reason, I still think it's magical and a very good thing."

Ruyi smiled and, under Yan Weiyun's guidance, figured out how to use this thing.

The eldest princess watched from the side without saying anything.

"Okay, then you can come with me to the palace to help with the arrangements. I have some things to do, so I won't bother you anymore."

Ruyi thought that she had some important things to do in the afternoon, so she got up and prepared to look for Mu Rushuang.

Yan Weiyun wanted to stay and talk for a while, but when she thought about the eldest princess being here, she didn't know how to start.

So he nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

After sending the people out, he stood at the gate and watched the two get into the car.

During the whole process, the eldest princess said nothing and just said goodbye and left.

This was the result Yan Weiyun wanted.

The eldest princess finally stopped bothering him.

But at this moment, looking at her leaving back, I felt something was wrong in my heart, as if it was empty.

Thinking that she was about to go on a long journey, leaving her familiar homeland and going to the distant West Qin, she felt even more uncomfortable.

When he returned to the house, he met the King of Yan and could not help but follow him, "Father, is marriage between us and Xi Qin the only option?"

King Yan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at him in surprise, "Where did you get this information?"

"Recently, I haven't heard of any movement in Xi Qin."

Yan Weiyun hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "Maybe it's an excuse someone else made up."

But I didn't expect that the eldest princess would use such an excuse to distance herself from him.

So now, the eldest princess began to hate him?

What did he do wrong?

Yan Weiyun walked towards her courtyard, her mood inexplicably becoming complicated...
