Xuanyuan Liumu also added some dishes for Qing He's bowl, saying lightly: "Eat more, no need to be polite."

Qing He politely said, "Many thanks. As long as you and yourself come, it will be fine."

Seeing this scene, Liuyue couldn't help but say, "Fourth Brother, you're biased. You haven't given me any food yet."

"Didn't Sixth Brother give it to you? Which round is it my turn? "

Flowing Moon said coquettishly, "I want Fourth Brother to pinch me."

Xuanyuan Liumu sighed and said helplessly: "Alright, Fourth Brother will help you pick it up."

"Fourth brother, this is the first time I've seen you show concern for a lady. Could it be that the third miss is my fourth sister?"

Qing He hurriedly said, "Sixth Prince, you mustn't speak carelessly of this."

Flowing Moon smirked: "But I think Fourth Bro has that intention. Fourth Bro, am I right?"

Xuanyuan Liumu looked at Qing He and smiled, "I do have this thought, but I don't agree with it."

Liu Yue's face was full of surprise: "Fourth Brother, why would you like Qing He? Shouldn't you be with big sister Qing Yao? Do you want to marry both of them?"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Liumu said with a stern face: "Fourth Brother only views Qing Yao as a younger sister. Fourth Brother only wants to marry Qing and one person."

"But Qing Qing and her are not worthy of you."

Qing He's body instantly stiffened.

Xuanyuan Liumu raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly cold: "Qing He is kind-hearted, talented and good-looking, and shares a similar hobby with Fourth Brother, and she is also the daughter of Prime Minister Su, how could she not be worthy of you?"

Liuyue whispered, "I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about those rumors."

"You said it was a rumor, but it might not be true."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Do you still not believe your fourth brother's eyes?" Xuanyuan Liuyun said.

Liuyue wasn't speaking.

Xuanyuan Liuyun looked at Qing He and asked, "Did you agree to my fourth brother's request?"

Her tone was calm, but her eyes were calm. "There's no reason why. I probably don't like it. I know what kind of person I am, and I don't dare to get too close to me."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xuanyuan Liuxing's eyes. He looked at the person on the table and said without sadness or joy: "Alright, stop here and don't bring up this matter again. Liuyun, Liuyue, don't tell anyone about my thoughts on harmony. Otherwise, the consequences will be unthinkable."

Xuanyuan Liuyun wore his signature smile on his face. "I know, I know what I'm doing. Liuyue, if you don't want your fourth brother to be troubled, don't say a single word."

Liu Yue nodded.

After dinner, Liu Yue left with Qing He. Seeing them leaving the horse carriage, Xuanyuan Liuyun wiped the smile off his face, "Fourth Brother, are you serious about marrying Su Qing and you?"

"Of course. I've already told her, and I know she likes me too. She just feels that there are a lot of obstacles for us to be together, so she backed off."

"Not only do you have a lot of obstructions, each one of you is more powerful than the last. Especially the public's words, they affect you the most."

"Words can be controlled, and the direction of public opinion can be changed. I'm not afraid of anything right now, but waiting for a clear answer."

Xuanyuan Liuyun laughed, "It looks like you'll have to put in more effort. I think she's against you, she seems to be intentionally keeping a distance from you."

"Yeah." Xuanyuan Liumu let out a long sigh, "I've probably scared her. Let's take it slow next time."

Xuanyuan Liumu looked in the direction Qing He had fled in and made up his mind. Clear and peaceful, you will not be able to escape.

Xuanyuan Liuyun smiled, "Then I hope Fourth Brother's wish has come true. Sixth Brother will take his leave as well."

"Mm, be careful on the way."

Xuanyuan Liuxing returned to the place where he had previously been eating and ordered solemnly, "If there is even the slightest hint of a rumor about what happened this year, all of you will die."

Qing He and Liuyue were in the carriage, so they didn't speak along the way. Yue wanted to ask about her and the Fourth Marquis, but when she thought of what her fourth brother had said and the fact that the coachman was the first wife, she resisted.

When they returned to the residence and entered Qing He's room, Liu Yue impatiently asked, "What happened between you and Fourth Brother."

Qing He said lightly: "I also did not expect that the Fourth Prince would like me. I know that it is impossible for us to be together."

"Hmph, it's good that you know it. But looking at Fourth Brother's expression, it seems that he's getting serious towards you."

I will not agree to marry your fourth big brother, and neither will my father nor mother. I know you don't like me, but I still request that you don't talk about these things to anyone, and it will bring me a lot of trouble, and even endanger my life.

Liu Yue was puzzled. "Threatening my life? That serious?"

He smiled wryly, "How many people are eyeing the position of the Fourth Princess like tigers to their prey? I don't have any power or influence, and this matter isn't good for the Fourth Prince. For the sake of that flute, don't tell anyone else, okay?"

Seeing Qing He's sincere eyes, Liuyue nodded and agreed, "I won't tell anyone about what happened today. It was for my fourth brother."

At night, Liu Yue was indeed called out by the first wife. The first wife smiled and said, "Quickly tell the aunt where you went to play today. Why did you come back so late?"

Liu Yue cutely smiled and said, "Aunt, Qing, elder sister and I went for a stroll on the streets first. I chose a gift for sixth brother."

"What does the Sixth Prince have?" Also, the Prime Minister's Palace has a lot of good things. If you want to take them, you can take them. If you want to give them to him, you can give them to him.

Flowing Moon stuck out his tongue: "I want to personally choose a present. I want to buy it myself."

"You little ghost, what gift did you send me?"

"A piece of jade. It looked good, so I bought it."

The First Wife chuckled. "As long as Liuyue is happy, that's great. After that, where did you go?"

Liu Yue thought for a moment and said, "We went to Sixth Brother's place, but he wasn't there. Afterwards, I went to Fourth Brother's place to find him."

"Oh, you guys also went to the 4th Prince's Mansion. How was it? Did you have fun?"

"I'm happy. With sixth brother here, I'll be happy no matter what."

The first wife took a sip of tea and asked, "What about Qing He? Did she do anything?"

"Qinghe, she's been staying with me all this time, what can I do? I get angry when I see her, and she looks sickly. I can't help her in any way, so I might as well not bring her along."

"Sigh, Qing and her are just like that. Please understand her a little."

"Of course I know. I'm too lazy to bother with her."

The First Wife patted Liu Yue's head and said, "You've always been staying at Qing He's place, so you rarely come to see me. You can stay here today."

"Alright, Liuyue likes to play, so I've neglected this aunt. I hope that Auntie doesn't mind, she'll come back in the future."

"Alright, that's what Aunt is hoping for."

"Then I'll go look for Brother Qing Yuan first. I haven't even seen him today."
