After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Listening to Han Nian's complaints, everyone looked over at once.

She had a bright and lovely appearance, but perhaps because all the boys in her family were in the army, she was wild and unruly in nature, lacking the gentleness and dignity that a girl should have.

Although Fu Guiyun only had a brief contact with her, he couldn't help but think of someone in his mind.

Her personality is actually somewhat similar to Yun Ling's.

After all, she is the descendant of a loyal hero. I just hope she doesn't have Yun Ling's vicious heart.

"Nian Nian, it's no problem for you to stay in the mansion as long as you want. I have already sent someone to prepare a yard for you."

Fu Guiyun smiled at her and said, "But we still have to discuss the marriage. Your father and brother are gone now, and it would be bad for your mother to keep worrying about this matter."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister-in-law."

Han Nian also smiled sweetly at her: "With sister-in-law taking charge of Nian Nian, Nian Nian will definitely be able to find her ideal husband."

After saying that, he hugged her tighter.

Her naughty look made Lu Linchu like her from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking about how her brother died tragically at Huayang Pass and how even his body could not be found intact, Lu Linchu felt even more distressed for her.

It was rare for the Crown Prince's Consort to treat her so intimately, Lu Linchu quickly signaled, "Nian Nian, before entering the mansion, didn't you clamor to choose a birthday gift for your sister-in-law first? How come you forgot about this?"

After his reminder, Han Nian remembered and hurriedly took the thing from Tingxu and handed it to Fu Guiyun.

It was a cage wrapped in coarse cloth. Fu Guiyun opened it and saw a pure white rabbit lying in the cage, blinking its round eyes and looking around.

Han Nian happily pulled her and asked, "How is it, does sister-in-law like it?"

"of course."

Fu Guiyun nodded slightly.

She loves raising small animals the most. This little girl is quite good at understanding people's hearts.

It was just that she called Cui Ying "Auntie" which was really disgusting.

Logically speaking, Lu Linchu should not have brought her in without telling Han Nian the most basic situation of the mansion, and it was unthinkable that a concubine would enter Chuxian Palace to pay respects at noon.

This girl should know the most basic common sense.

Fu Guiyun guessed that Han Nian did it on purpose, perhaps because she was dissatisfied with the prince's adopted sister and was trying to feel superior.

But given Cui Ying's status, even I have to respect her a little.

Not to mention that Dali has not yet been completely pacified. Even if it was completely conquered, the imperial court would have to properly settle Cui Ying in order to appease the people of Dali and gather the major clans.

Either Emperor Hui would bring her into the palace, or the Liyang Palace would give her a resounding title.

Naturally, the safest way at the moment is for Lu Linchu to take in Cui Ying as a brother and sister.

He glanced at Han Nian silently. On one side was the descendant of an enemy noble who had surrendered and made great contributions, and on the other side was an orphan girl from the royal palace who was a relative of a martyr. Fu Guiyun did not say anything more. He could only lead the two children in front and lead everyone back to the palace.

Lu Linchu was also still brooding over what had just happened, so he walked at the back with Han Nian, slowing down his pace.

Seeing her carefree, he asked quietly: "Niannian, how could you mistake Ying'er for your aunt?"

Han Nian pouted aggrievedly: "Brother, I don't know who she is. Brother, you won't blame me for this, right?"

"Of course... not that." Lu Linchu sighed secretly.

I indeed did not tell her that Qin Wan was sent away, but everyone in the city knew about it the day Cui Ying entered the city, and I also told her about it, so she shouldn't have been unaware of this.

Besides, it is unusual for a concubine to go to the mistress's courtyard to pay her respects at noon, especially on such an important day.

Cui Ying's mourning attire could not possibly be that of an aunt.

Thinking that her family was ordinary and she might not even know the common sense of these wealthy families, he did not care about it anymore.

Since the main banquet was scheduled for the evening, Fu Guiyun asked someone to prepare lunch and invited several concubines to have lunch in his palace.

Lu Qingyu has always been sensitive and can always see some of Yun Ling's shadow in Han Nian. From the moment she appeared, she has been holding on to Fu Guiyun's skirt tightly, feeling a little afraid inside.

Fu Guiyun had already seen the panic in the little guy's heart. Taking advantage of the time when he went to the bedroom to change clothes, he gently comforted him, "That aunt Han is just your father's adopted sister. She won't embarrass you."

Lu Qingchen was a smart kid who looked at people with a bit of viciousness: "At most, she is ignorant of the current situation, but she is not as vicious as Yun Ling."

Thinking of the little rabbit she sent him, the little guy pursed his lips and smiled: "People who like rabbits are always pure in their hearts."

Although Fu Guiyun did not particularly agree with his way of comforting people, thinking of the tragic death of Han Nian's father and brother in the war, he now only hoped to find a suitable marriage for her as soon as possible so that the mother and daughter could have a place to go.

Back at Lanyue Tower, Cui Ying returned to her room and burst into tears out of anger.

She was a descendant of a distinguished family, the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion, and had been brought up in pampered care. Yet, she was treated as a concubine by someone. How could she swallow this humiliation?

The little girl beside her, on the other hand, was open-minded and comforted her in a warm voice, "If I were to say, the Liyang Palace is so noble that even the emperor of the Great Kang Dynasty would have to respect the Lu family. Given our current situation, there's nothing wrong with being the concubine of Master Lu. At least it would allow Miss to have no worries about food and clothing."

The old nanny was so angry that she slapped the maid in the face. "What nonsense are you talking about? The young lady is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. She has never suffered any grievances since she was a child. The master, the mistress, and the young master all hold the young lady in their hands. The Cui family has suffered such a disaster. The prosperity of the family depends on the young lady alone. How can you covet a temporary comfort?"

"But we can't let the young lady live under someone else's roof forever."

The maid covered her burning cheeks and said unconvincedly, "We can't expect Prince Lu and Prince Liyang to divorce the Crown Princess and appoint the young lady as the crown prince instead."

"You short-sighted fool."

The old nanny scolded her again: "Your dog eyes only see the Liyang Palace. The Cui family is such a powerful family, and the eldest son has made such a great contribution to Dakang. The Emperor of Dakang will personally settle the young lady."

After thinking for a while, she looked at her young lady with a steady gaze and continued, "Emperor Hui has just taken power, and it is the time for him to make great plans. Although the palace has an empress, I heard that there are not many concubines. Young lady, just wait patiently. Even if you cannot be named a noble concubine in the future, you can be listed as one of the four concubines. This will help stabilize the hearts of the people of Dali."

Cui Ying did not like the prince of Liyang Palace. She had only heard that he was a playboy in the past. Today, when she saw that he treated that vulgar girl as his sister, she despised him even more.

After hearing what the wet nurse said, she also had some ideas in mind.

"Ying'er heard that there are still two sons of the prince who have not yet married. Both the eldest and fourth sons are outstanding. Even if they cannot enter the palace, Ying'er will be satisfied if she can be the legitimate mother of the other two branches of the Lu family."

Her face was somewhat flushed as she looked at Nanny Yu: "I'm afraid it's not possible to completely rely on the one in the Dakang Palace for my current situation. I have to trouble the wet nurse to secretly look for someone for Ying'er and keep a backup plan."

The old nanny had been through a lot and could understand the young lady's current mood, but she really did not agree with her approach.

"Miss, you must calm down. It is not appropriate to interact with the young masters of the Lu family at this critical moment."

Nanny Yu advised, "Even if the young lady is interested, the prince and princess will not risk disobeying the emperor's will to make this decision for the young lady."

Cui Ying thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the truth.

"I have heard that the Crown Prince's Consort is very generous and considerate. The courtesy she has shown to the young lady these days is enough to prove that what she said is true."

The old nanny continued to persuade her earnestly: "Miss, just hang out with the Crown Prince's wife more often and keep your decent life. You won't have to worry about the day when you won't be able to turn things around. Why bother with the stinky girl from the Han family who comes from such a vulgar family?"

Cui Ying took the nurse's words to heart, responded obediently, and put all those previous thoughts out of her mind.
