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

Changchun Palace was bustling with activity as the ice and snow melted. Upon learning that the prince had led the Lu family's men to stabilize the disaster situation in Dali, Ye Zhilan felt much more energetic.

Looking at his son with green stubble on his chin and Cui Ying who had lost a lot of weight, Ye Zhilan sighed: "The prince is thick-skinned and it is only natural for him to suffer more when he goes out. The virtuous concubine is precious and has suffered a lot of injustice this time."

"Aunt Wang is making fun of Ying Er."

Cui Ying said modestly: "It is Ying'er's duty to benefit the people of my hometown. To be honest, this time it was all thanks to the unremitting support of the prince and my brother. Ying'er should thank the palace on behalf of the people of Dali."

"Ying'er, you don't need to be humble."

Lu Linchu smiled and said, "You did gain a lot from your trip to Huayang Pass to provide disaster relief. Now, except for a few cities on the border of the ancient Tuoyue Kingdom, the governors of other counties have submitted their surrender letters and are willing to submit to Dakang. My father wrote to me and said that when he comes back, he will definitely ask for a fiefdom for you. You can tell me any place you like in Dali, and I will treat it as a dowry prepared by the palace for you."

"Thank you, brother."

Cui Ying smiled faintly, but suddenly her eyes turned fierce: "But Ying'er's wish now is to get rid of that tyrant as soon as possible and avenge the deceased Dali loyalists."

Lu Linchu patted his chest and vowed, "Don't worry about this. I will personally kill that tyrant for you."

Fu Guiyun held the two little ones in his arms and listened silently, but he began to think in his mind.

Although it was Cui Ying's own idea to enter the palace, she eventually became a bargaining chip in the struggle between the Liyang Palace and the imperial court, and had long been reduced to a discarded pawn. One can only hope that after she learns the truth in the future, she will still consider the overall situation.

Thinking that the weather had cleared up and his mother-in-law looked much better, Fu Guiyun left the two little ones in Changchun Palace to chat with her.

She and Lu Linchu sent someone to see Cui Ying off before returning to Chuxian Palace together.

It has been nearly two months since Lu Linchu left Liyang City, and for some reason, he always thinks of the woman in front of him.

There were even many times when he wished he could come back earlier to see her.

In fact, even he himself couldn't tell what was so special about the Crown Prince's Consort that made him care so much about her.

She was neither as good at acting like a spoiled child as Yunling and Han Nian, nor as charming as Fuxiang. If she was docile and well-behaved, she could not compare to Fangyi.

But when I am away from home, the person I think of most is her.

He held Fu Guiyun's hand calmly and said softly, "Guiyun, I have always had you in my heart, and I love you."

"..."

Fu Guiyun was a little surprised to hear such a sentence suddenly.

Turning her head and glancing at the pair of affectionate eyes cast at her, she was at a loss for what to do.

She believed that the prince was sincere in saying such nice words.

I believe he must have told this to many people.

If she were at this ignorant age in her previous life, she would even be deeply moved.

But after living for two lifetimes, she had long been numb to such meaningless love words, and was even more fed up with those men who shuttled among women all day long and tried to please everyone.

Therefore, this is also the reason why she is willing to marry Lu Linchu but is unwilling to flatter him and consummate the marriage with him.

She thought that no one in this lifetime would be able to cure her illness, not even Doctor Xue.

"Aunt Han is looking forward to the prince every day. After all, she is a new concubine. The prince might as well go and see her."

Fu Guiyun deliberately changed the subject and spoke to him.

Hearing this, Lu Linchu felt a little disappointed: "It seems that the Crown Prince's Consort cares a lot about Aunt Han?"

"of course."

Fu Guiyun smiled warmly: "After all, she is still young. The only ones she can rely on in this mansion are me and the prince. We should pay more attention to her."

Lu Linchu felt that she was deliberately avoiding him and remained silent.

The group returned to Chuxian Palace. Fu Guiyun sat by the fireplace and saw Shuyan walking Nenmao and Yingba in the room. She took Nenmao in her arms and stroked his fur while muttering to herself, "Nenmao, you've grown a lot in just one year."

Lu Linchu felt a little strange when he heard this: "This dog looks quite old, why did the Crown Prince's wife call her young hair?"

He looked at the tender hair blankly, and Fu Guiyun looked at him awkwardly.

I still remember when I first met the Crown Prince, he came to my palace to make accusations like a child.

The inspiration for naming Nenmao came from the Crown Prince.

But looking at him now, even though it has only been a year, he has grown a lot, just like a young boy.

But she couldn't say these words casually, so she just answered perfunctorily: "Whether a woman is young or not depends mainly on her temperament."

Hearing this, Shu Yan couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

It turns out that the Crown Prince's Consort can also be so indecent at times.

Lu Linchu felt more and more that something was wrong, and rolled his eyes at Shu Yan in annoyance. Just as he regained his composure, he heard Ah Nian jumping up and down in the cage next to him and shouting, "The prince is not young anymore, the prince is not young anymore, the prince has such an old-fashioned temperament."

"Shut up."

Lu Linchu glared at the bird cage and said, "Why would Lao Si send you a parrot when there are so many other things he can give you?"

It was such a nice room, but with so many animals in it, Lu Linchu suddenly lost interest and got up before his butt even warmed up.

Knowing that he was disliked, he left Chuxian Palace speechlessly.

Fu Guiyun and Shu Yan smiled at each other.

Looking at the happy Ah Nian in the cage, she knew that the little guy was not smart enough, so she glared at Shu Yan in annoyance and said, "You naughty girl, don't lead Ah Nian astray."

Shu Yan covered her mouth even tighter, refusing to admit it, "I have never taught Ah Nian anything, please don't wrongly accuse me, Princess."

Fu Guiyun had no intention of blaming her. After all, the prince would not care about such a small matter. At most, he would not come to Chuxian Palace.

For her, this couldn't be better.

After Lu Linchu left Chuxian Palace, he was feeling sulky and did not follow the Crown Prince's wife's instructions to go to Shuhua Garden. Just when everyone was speculating which concubine the Crown Prince favored more, he went directly to Wuhua Courtyard.

That’s right, he went to Caidie’s Wuhuayuan.

Until the eve of New Year's Eve, I stayed in the Colorful Butterfly Courtyard for several days in a row.

This really pissed off Han Nian, and he locked himself in the house for several days without going out.

But now she is just a concubine in the palace, and she no longer dares to make trouble as unscrupulously as before. She can only keep her resentment in her heart.

On New Year's Eve, according to the rules of the palace over the years, at lunch, the prince and princess will have lunch with the family members in the palace, and give some new year gifts, which is considered as care and reward for the concubines and illegitimate descendants in the palace.

The dinner was the annual banquet for the entire family. According to the rules, the concubines from each branch of the Lu family were not allowed to attend the banquet.

So early in the morning, several concubines came to Chuxian Palace to pay their respects and then went back to make preparations.

After all, this is the only time in the year that they can legitimately see the prince and princess, and no one dares to neglect it.

Fu Guiyun gave the prepared red envelopes to several concubines one by one, and waited for a long time but Han Nian did not come.

Nanny Tong had seen through Han Nian's thoughts long ago. She came in with a bitter face and kept chattering: "Aunt Han is really hypocritical. Today is the day for the family reunion, but she sent someone to say that she is sick and cannot attend the banquet. This old servant thinks that she is not feeling well. It's a heart disease."

Carefully looking at Fu Guiyun, she continued to speak curiously, "It's strange. The prince has been away for two months, so why did he want to go to Concubine Cai's courtyard when he came back?"

Seeing her resentment, Fu Guiyun just smiled and said nothing.

She naturally knew the reason and thought that the prince was angry with her.

Nanny Tong couldn't figure out the truth, but her long-faded fantasy came back to life.

Now that even Concubine Cai has been favored, it’s time for my own spring to come.
