In Chapter 307, the precipice is equivalent to family rules.
"See Your Highness the Princess!"
Upon seeing them arrive, a large group of palace servants waiting by the side of the hall knelt down and respectfully bowed.
The white Tencel dress shimmered with a lustrous sheen under the moonlight. Xin Moyan was practically dragged along by Xie Xuanji the whole way, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Upon seeing that stunningly beautiful face, Shuiyi forgot everything else and ran downstairs, lifting the hem of her skirt.
"Yan'er!"
"Sister Yi'er!"
Xin Moyan looked at her and murmured her name. In the blink of an eye, she rushed to her side, hugged Shui Yi tightly, and wouldn't let go.
"Waaaaah~ Sister Yi'er, I miss you so much, but they won't let me see you."
"Yan'er~"
Shui Yi felt a bitter taste in her throat. Even if the Emperor permitted it, she would have no face to face the woman before her.
"Yan'er, I'm so sorry."
She gently touched Xin Moyan's cheek, her eyes filled with heartache. Since recovering from her illness, Yan'er was still so thin and no longer as lively and cheerful as she had been in Yuanqi.
Xin Moyan shook her head, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "Sister Yi'er, don't say that, it's not your fault, I failed again this morning~"
"Yan'er, I heard from the Third Prince that you scared your sister to death. Don't do that again, okay?"
"I was threatening them, and I ended up being carried down by Baili... uh, the Emperor."
Shui Yi suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yan'er, you should call him cousin."
"Hmph! If he doesn't let me go, I won't call him!"
"Aren't you afraid of the Emperor?"
"This……"
She pursed her lips and awkwardly rubbed her hands together.
"Big brother, second brother, what do you think Sister Shuiyi and Sister Yan are talking about?"
Baili Jueyan craned his neck but couldn't hear the two whispering to each other.
"Xiao Yan, go and bring Xingxing up." Baili Juexi smiled gently, her eyes soft.
"Oh!"
He immediately stood up and rushed to the two of them.
"Sister Shuiyi, Sister Yan, what are you talking about? Let's go upstairs and get something to eat, Little Star?"
Xie Xuanji's eyes darted around, and she grinned at him, "Third Prince, may I sit with the Emperor?"
"This one……"
Baili Jueyan scratched his head, "This... you should ask my older brother, I dare not answer you."
Xie Xuanji immediately pouted and turned to the two of them, saying, "Sister Shuiyi, Sister Yan, I'm going up to find the Emperor now!"
After saying that, she disappeared in a flash.
Baili Jueyan grabbed Xin Moyan's wrist and said excitedly, "Little Yan, let's go upstairs to eat! Big brother has prepared lots of food!"
Xin Moyan angrily shook off his hand, turned around and took Shui Yi's arm, "Sister Yi'er, let's go upstairs and get something to eat!"
"This……"
Shui Yi was stunned for a moment, then saw the boy beside her clutching his chest in grievance, his starry eyes revealing a subtle tenderness.
"Third Prince, then... Shuiyi will take her leave first."
Immediately afterwards, Xin Moyan pulled her onto the stage, leaving Baili Jueyan heartbroken.
Baili Jueyan couldn't understand it. He had tried his best to be nice to Yan Meimei for the past month, but she still didn't like him. Was it because he wasn't as good-looking as his second brother? What about his eldest brother? His eldest brother was the most handsome man in all of Gu Cang. Why didn't Yan Meimei like him either?
The two walked upwards step by step. There was an empty seat beside the hundred-mile-long cliff. It was obvious that it was a seat he had specially prepared for Xin Moyan. It was the most honored seat in the entire Ancient Cang except for the Emperor.
Xin Moyan ignored this and stood a step away from the seat, then casually sat down on the Water Memory Seat.
Although she didn't quite understand why Sister Yi'er could be on equal footing with her two cousins, and why Little Star was so unrestrained in her behavior, even though she was the Holy Maiden of Ancient Cang, Sister Yi'er's identity didn't seem to be that special!
Is it because the person above her likes Sister Yi'er that she was allowed to sit so high?
"Yan'er, sit here."
Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice from above. Xin Moyan looked up and stubbornly shook her head.
"I want to sit with Sister Yi'er."
Upon hearing this, Baili Juebi's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness and despair, and then he glanced to his side.
Shui Yi nodded, "Your Majesty, Shui Yi will take good care of Yan'er."
"Ah."
On the other side, Xie Xuanji crossed her arms over her chest, her ears turning bright red with anger.
"Xingxing, why are you unhappy?"
Baili Juexi didn't even look at her; he was just focused on peeling the lychees in his hands.
"Second Prince, why doesn't the Emperor like me?"
"Haha~"
Baili Juexi couldn't help but chuckle. The glass ice plate in front of him was already piled high with lychee flesh that looked like solidified white jade.
"Somebody come!"
"Your Highness."
He pointed to the plate, "Take this fruit to your sister."
"Yes."
Then, he calmly continued peeling the lychees.
This left Xie Xuanji somewhat bewildered. She leaned closer and asked curiously, "Second Prince, why are you ignoring me?"
With a slender finger extended in front of him, Baili Juexi fed the freshly peeled fruit to her lips.
"Sweetie, isn't this lychee your favorite?"
Xie Xuanji took a bite, but she was still not very happy.
"Xingxing, you know, your older brother doesn't like you."
"But I love the Emperor!"
"For a relationship to last, men and women must love each other."
"But Sister Shuiyi doesn't like the Emperor either!"
Baili Juexi paused for a moment, then looked up at the two girls opposite him who were chatting animatedly.
"Yes! Shuiyi doesn't like her older brother, so..."
"So what?"
Xie Xuanji bit her finger, being very gossipy.
He gently poked the girl's forehead. "You shouldn't discuss your brother's affairs. You should spend time with Yan and make her happy."
"Oh!"
Xie Xuanji covered her head, seemingly somewhat unwilling. Sister Yan was still the best to her, telling her everything.
Xin Moyan was chatting enthusiastically when suddenly a lot of delicious food was presented to her.
"Yan'er, try this peach blossom wine."
The sound from the sheer cliffs was neither too loud nor too soft, and it brooked no refusal.
"understood."
Xin Moyan's smile was forced. In just one month, she had figured out the Baili family's rules, which were: Baili Juebi equals the family rules...
She could disobey anyone's orders, except for Baili Juebi, and she was no exception. However, she just loved challenging authority, and she always drove her three brothers crazy, hehe~
"Yan'er, these are lychees sent by the Second Prince. He specially peeled the pits for them."
Looking at the fruit on the table, Xin Moyan lowered her eyelashes, memories slowly swirling in her mind.
"Yan'er, what's wrong?"
“I remember, Buyu said she planted a large lychee orchard on Meteorite Mountain, as well as bayberries and longans. We agreed that when the fruits ripened, we would go to Meteorite Mountain to play, and we would also use them to make fruit tea…”
"Yan'er~"
Shuiyi was filled with mixed emotions. If only she hadn't appeared that day, Yan'er wouldn't have been separated from them.
