After all, if this sister was thinking about having a couple to serve each other, it was just a matter of thinking. If someone really did act in front of them, everyone would feel quite disgusted with her.

Sun Jinzi felt everyone's gazes on her. Although she didn't care what they thought of her, she couldn't ignore the Sixth Prince who was getting closer and closer to her.

He wore a black brocade suit with tight sleeves and a white jade hairpin on his head. His face was delicate and pretty, and his facial features were three-dimensional.

Jin Chupei also looked at Sun Jinzi.

The two of them looked at each other as if they had a tacit understanding. When no one else was paying attention to them, they glanced at each other and understood the friendship in their eyes. They then turned their heads to look elsewhere, not showing the slightest discomfort.

However, even if their gazes were to meet each other's at this moment, no one would notice, because all of them were actually focused on Fourth Prince Jin Chuxuan.

He was wearing a white robe like the moonlight. Although his expression wasn't too happy, as long as the corner of his mouth slightly curved up, others would already be dumbstruck by what he saw.

Jin Chuao was very displeased that they were so biased towards each other.

The current Jin Chuxuan didn't know what was going on either. In the past, he initially didn't like going out, but in recent days, he had always heard that the Fourth Prince going out to lure all the girls from the capital over.

Jin Chuao clenched his fists tightly, and looked at Sun Jinzi, her gaze seemed to have landed somewhere else, and he could not help but be happy, and went up to his.

"Zi Er, long time no see, are you alright?"

He looked at Sun Jinzi's side profile.

His skin was white, and under the light's illumination, he seemed to be able to see the fine hair on Sun Jinzi's face. His skin was soft and tender, to the point that his pores could not be seen.

A jet-black thin thread mischievously floated beside Sun Jinzi's face, blocking her deeply caved in pear vortex. When Jin Chuao saw this, his heart moved and he slowly raised his hand, wanting to brush away that strand of hair.

But before Jin Chuao's hand could reach it, Jin Chupei had already raised his staff.

"royal brother."

The angle and force of Jin Chupei's interference was extremely appropriate. It was as if he was just enjoying the scenery and had accidentally appreciated the place, so he didn't do it on purpose.

As a result, Jin Chuao only pestered him for not having any rules, and didn't think about other things.

"What are you doing? The scenery is the best, there are only mountains here."

At one end of the lake, there was a stone pavilion and a water pavilion built around Dark Mountain, and at the other end of the lake was Dark Mountain. There were all kinds of strange flowers and trees on the lake, and it was always spring.

The towering mountains and the jade-green waters of the lake were the same.

"There's someone watching the scenery over there. The scenery here is unique." Jin Chupei looked at Sun Jinzi, meaning in his words.

Sun Jinzi lowered her head. She clearly knew that Jin Chupei was referring to her, and a scarlet color rose up on her face.

Jin Chuao took a step forward, and got closer and closer to Sun Jinzi.

"Zi Er, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Sun Jinzi hurriedly shook her head and took a step back.

Behind her was the pavilion's railing. She had nowhere to retreat to.

Sun Jinzi raised her head to look at the blue sky. The sun shone brightly in the sky, and the clouds were pure white.

She looked down and saw a woman in a long red dress walking towards the end of the path of flowers.

Isn't this her Big Sis Sun Jinning?

"We have arrived, lateral consort." Sun Jinzi kindly reminded Jin Chuao.

"Your Highness." Compared to the unmarried girls, Sun Jinning could talk with whoever she wanted to with. With that said, she could only talk with Jin Chuao alone, and if she looked at the people around her, she would probably be branded as someone who did not follow the rules.

"Why are you here?"

Jin Chuao remembered that when he went out, he did not say that he would bring her along.

"Your Highness, don't you like me following you?" Sun Jinning lowered her head, revealing a look of an angered wife.

Jin Chuao had always prided himself on being the person who cared for women the most. Seeing the beauty being wronged, the cold expression on his face immediately relaxed, and his words became a bit more gentle.

"That's not it. It's just that, this cruise, was prepared by the Princess of Dongchu. It's not good to not ask Master about it like this."

An excuse, Jin Chuao was obviously just looking for an excuse.

In his heart, he had never given up on Sun Jinzi.

Seeing that another daughter of the Sun family was being married into the royal family, he felt that there was still hope for Sun Jinzi and him. After all, they had been together for so many years.

Sun Jinzi had definitely fallen for him, and he only needed to return to the palace to plead with the Emperor. So, how could he possibly hope that Sun Jinning would come over and make trouble for him?

"Your Highness is worried that the body of concubine will immediately go and ask."

Sun Jinning turned and left in a hurry.

Sun Jinzi looked and smiled coldly in her heart, following behind Sun Jinning, she brushed past her shoulder.

"Zi Er." Jin Chuao's voice sounded out as scheduled.

Sun Jinzi turned her head helplessly. She swore, the person she hated the most was Jin Chuao.

A person could be shameless, but to be shameless to such an extent was simply outrageous.

Didn't he clearly see the situation between them?

Even if it were to rain in the sky, they would have already finished playing. Not to mention the Emperor, she herself no longer had any friendship with him.

But he did not know, and Sun Jinzi was too lazy to tell him other things.

When Sima Yuzhu saw that the matter was as she had expected, and that Jin Chuao had truly entangled himself with Sun Jinzi the moment he arrived, she was immediately overjoyed and secretly ordered:

"Serve the princes well, don't neglect them."

With a sweep of her gaze, Laner immediately nodded secretly. There was something faintly moving under her sleeves.

Sima Yuzhu took care of her major matters before turning to look at Jin Chupei.

He was standing alone on the steps of the pavilion.

The steps were paved with stone, reflecting Jin Chupei's tall and slender figure, just like when he used to shake the world on the battlefield.

Sima Yuzhu didn't seem to be entranced by it.

Sima Yuzhu, who was watching from afar, felt a chill in her heart. Sima Yuzhu was not someone who would give up easily, and this time, her attack was clearly stronger than last time by a few levels. Just by looking at it, she had lured First Prince over to her side.

It was just that she did not know whether it was directed at her, Jin Chupei, or even the two of them.

However, Sun Jinzi had already made up her mind not to be moved by any of Sima Yuzhu's actions, she believed in him.

He also believed that the relationship between her and Jin Chupei was not one that others could casually destroy.

"Sixth royal brother and Princess Jade are rather compatible." Jin Chuao suddenly said.

He could tell that Sun Jinzi wanted to stay away from him, but he refused to let go.

Sun Jinzi frowned slightly, it was almost indiscernible, but before anyone could react, she had already returned to normal, and the corner of her mouth was raised with a hint of a smile.

"Yeah." The two words were unable to tell what she was thinking or how her mood had changed.

Jin Chuao could not help but feel discouraged, and wanted to say something more, when he saw that Sun Jinning had already come over.

He really wanted to curse. He could not help but glare at the servant beside him: "Who actually invited this lateral consort out?"

The attendant was confused by the question, shaking his head to show that he did not know.

"Rice Bucket, investigate him. If I find out who he is, I will definitely exterminate him."

Of course Jin Chuao would not really destroy anyone, he was just in a bad mood, so he casually vented his emotions, and if he was serious, he would really lose.

Sun Jinzi took the chance and took two steps back. She glanced at Mu Rong, who was standing in front of her, and shot her a look.

Mu Rong shook her head, unable to move.

Sun Jinzi then laughed with relief.

As long as no one knew it was her who did it.

Then, he raised his head, and slightly bent his knees towards Sun Jinning in a rare manner: "Greetings to the lateral consort Empress."

After Sun Jinning calmly received her greeting, she then looked at Sun Jinzi with some suspicion.

Today, she was truly amazed.

In the past, when had Sun Jinzi ever been so courteous to her?

At one point, she remembered, they had almost fallen out over something.

In Sun Jinzi's opinion, although there were some irreconcilable conflicts between her and Sun Jinning, it was merely decided by Sun Jinning when she thought herself to be a genius.

After all, the reason why Sun Jinning tried to harm her before marrying her was to attract the attention of the First Prince.

And now, the marriage agreement between her and Jin Chuao was over, and Sun Jinning had gotten married into the First Prince's Estate as per her wish. Although she was a lateral consort, it had nothing to do with her.

Therefore, Sun Jinzi believed that the identity of the enemy between her and Sun Jinning should have disappeared by itself. After all, there were no eternal enemies or friends, only eternal benefits.

Now, when Sima Yuzhu wanted to use Jin Chuao to hold her back, how could she not use Sun Jinning to hold Jin Chuao back instead?

Furthermore, there was one more thing that he needed Sun Jinning's help with today. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to succeed.

Sun Jinzi pursed her lips, greeted Sun Jinning, and then said: "Your Highness and the Empress of lateral consort have a deep relationship, I will not disturb the two of you anymore."

After she said that, she flew away, leaving a depressed Jin Chuao behind.

At this time, his heart wanted to push Sun Jinning back in, but, with his good face, outside, no matter how much he hated someone, he would not let his emotions show. Moreover, with Sun Jinzi gone, Sun Jinning's appearance and appearance was somewhat pleasing to the eye, but after looking around, he did not have the heart to bear it anymore.

"Why did Ning Er come out?"

Jin Chuao was still thinking about that matter and intentionally asking questions.
