Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

"Did you see the Sixth Prince at that old guy's place?" Old Master Wei asked, his eyes slightly drooping as he looked at the quiet horizontal surface, and asked calmly.

Wei Bingyan noticed his expression and said, "Yes, Grandpa, Lord Song and the Sixth Prince seem very familiar with each other."

"He's my uncle and my lovely great-great-grandson. It's normal for us to be familiar with each other. What are you thinking about in your little head?" Old Master Wei glanced at her and asked with a smile.

"I'm just curious as to why the King's uncle never married in his life and was unwilling to be promoted to a higher title. Grandpa, you must know, right?" Wei Bingyan asked.

She felt it was very strange that the Sixth Prince was in the place of Lord Song Guojiu. She tried hard to recall what the Song family's attitude was like in her previous life when the Sixth Prince ascended the throne. But no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't remember what the Song family did at that time.

Even if Song Guojiu is not a marquis now, he is still a powerful noble. What if the empress dowager is gone? How many people in the court still respect him?

At least the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince have never thought of winning him over.

"He was engaged, but his fiancée was tortured to death before she even entered the family. The Song family was too powerful at that time. If he were to marry someone else for profit... someone would be very sad." Old Master Wei had a cold face and a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, as if he saw again the image of the old man in his youth, who was willful and reckless, had a clear distinction between love and hate, and was free and easy.

Wei Bingyan's whole body trembled. Although the old man described it in detail, she could imagine what Old Master Song had experienced in the past. Because someone was afraid of the Song family, he took action against the Song family.

No, it was probably because he had attacked Old Master Song directly, so he made such a decision, an extremely painful and resolute decision.

No wonder he didn't want to return to the capital...

“So, Lord King’s uncle is willing to never marry in his life, to let the Song family’s direct descendants have no younger generations, and to be willing to not be granted a title of nobility and leave the capital freely?” Wei Bingyan asked softly.

Although the late emperor and the empress dowager were husband and wife, they were suspicious by nature and there was no way they would promote the old man. It was only after the current Majesty ascended the throne that he thought of compensating him appropriately. Unfortunately, the old man is no longer a wonder.

A faint, mocking smile appeared on Old Master Wei's lips.

Having no direct descendants... is better than having the whole family wiped out! Wei Bingyan looked at the old man's expression and understood immediately.

As expected, being the emperor's relative is not easy!

Wei Bingyan lowered her voice and asked patiently and calmly, "Grandpa, do you think... Is the Crown Prince sure? The Fourth Prince doesn't seem to be very honest and dutiful. Has Your Majesty not noticed?"

"Why do you, a young lady, care so much about the affairs of the court?" asked Old Master Wei with a smile.

"It's just a little strange." Wei Bingyan said, if His Majesty really liked the Crown Prince, he would definitely not accept the Fourth Prince's opposition to the Crown Prince in recent years. But if His Majesty had no intention of re-establishing the Eastern Palace... why was he so permissive towards the Fourth Prince?

Old Master Wei said: "The emperor's thoughts cannot be guessed at will. No one can know what the final outcome will be until the end."

"Your Majesty actually wants to use the Li family to suppress the Linghu family." Wei Bingyan asked without completely giving up.

"Where does a little girl like you get so much curiosity? Are you also interested in such affairs of state?" Old Master Wei frowned and looked at Wei Bingyan. There was no unhappiness on his face. Deep down, he praised Wei Bingyan for her sharp eyes. She could see many problems clearly.

Knows it better than her father who has a low IQ.

"Grandpa, I am puzzled, but I am more worried. Father is so closely tied to the prince. Isn't he afraid of dragging down the Wei family in the future?" Grandpa is a wise and intelligent white-haired old man. He naturally knows that it must be very dangerous for his father to work hard to support the prince at this time. So why not stop him?

Old Master Wei looked at Wei Bingyan deeply, "Bingyan, you must remember this firmly. Although the emperor is not the same person, they all have a prominent feature. No emperor is willing to see his subordinates and ministers become too powerful to be a threat to the emperor. The Wei family cannot prosper forever. With someone like your father... His Majesty will be more relieved."

Was it sincere? Was the old man sincerely watching Wei Zhong rush in, and sincerely watching Wei Zhong act like a fool from behind?

But even so, there must be follow-up measures.

What are the subsequent methods of the Wei family? Wei Bingyan thought in panic. It turned out that there were so many things behind the Wei family that she didn't know. If the old man hadn't died suddenly from Yang Kang in the previous life, the Wei family would definitely be different after the Sixth Prince ascended the throne!

The Sixth Prince...

Is the Wei family related to the Sixth Prince?

Wei Bingyan only felt her hard head chirping non-stop, and she couldn't figure out the truth.

"Okay, stop asking. You are just a girl. There are some things that are not for you to inquire about or interfere in." Old Master Wei said that he liked such a lovely granddaughter very much, and even wanted to treat her as a male prostitute and train her carefully, but... he couldn't bear it. Bingyan just wanted to live a peaceful and happy life.

It is true that I cannot ask any further, otherwise my grandfather will start to doubt where her assumptions come from.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving first. You must remember to take the medicine as ordered by the doctor. Also, pay attention to your meals and don't eat anything you shouldn't eat." Wei Bingyan did not forget to remind him before she left.

Old Master Wei shouted in a bad tone, "You can't drink, and you can't eat happily. My mouth is going to be tasteless."

"That's for your health." Wei Bingyan suppressed her smile and said, "I'll go to the kitchen the next day and cook a few delicious dishes for you."

"Hehe!" Old Master Wei snorted, obviously not appreciating the kindness.

Wei Bingyan shook her head with a smile and quickly left Yin Garden.

Even though she still had many worries about the future deep down in her heart, she thought that the Wei family was still under the control of the old man, and Wei Zhong's performance was also under the old man's supervision, so she didn't feel so worried.

This life will definitely be different! She said to herself.

……

Aunt Yin has returned and brought back everything Wei Bingyan needed.

"Miss, what should we do next?" Bai Binghui asked curiously.

Wei Bingyan signaled Anxiang to go out and guard the door. She did not hide the plan to deal with Shen Rouruo from Anxiang. Anxiang hated the Fourth Prince, and by doing this she also wanted to let Anxiang know directly that they would be in the same faction in the future.

Aunt Yin closed all the bright windows and asked Bai Binghui to prepare a basin of crystal clear clean water.

Wei Bingyan took out the musk carefully and mixed it with other essences. The pleasant scent of the musk was diluted a lot.

"Miss, it turns out you can make perfume. Did Mrs. Li teach you this?" Bai Binghui asked softly.

Aunt Yin looked at her. Mrs. Li didn't know how to make perfume at all!

Wei Bingyan's hands paused slightly. Yes, this skill of making perfume was not taught by her master, but something she learned in her previous life, in order to protect herself and also to avenge herself.

If she didn't understand those pleasant scents, she would be torn to pieces by those women in the palace at any time.

"Bring the water over." Wei Bingyan ground the essence into powder, then poured it into the water. She watched the clear water change color and the pleasant aroma gradually dissipate, leaving only a fresh and pleasant taste.

Aunt Yin looked at Wei Bingyan in surprise. This perfume-making technique was so strange. Where did the young lady learn it from?

Wei Bingyan ignored their confusion and bewilderment and immersed the jade in the water. The fragrance she mixed was not strong and could penetrate into the finest jade. If one was not an expert in mixing fragrances, it would definitely not be detected.

At that time, she put a lot of thought into learning this method seriously and finally asked a perfumer to teach her.

"Miss, how long will this immersion take?" Bai Binghui asked.

Wei Bingyan said softly, "Take it out after three days and nights. Bai Binghui, take it to the soft ear chamber and don't let anyone notice it. Aunt Yin, open all the bright windows and ask the maid to prepare steaming warm water." She instructed, "You too, wash off the pleasant fragrance on your body and don't let the madam smell it."

Bai Binghui and Aunt Yin both responded.

The next day, Wei Bingyan was afraid that she still had the smell on her body, so she didn't dare to go to the main room. Fortunately, Xiao didn't have time to look for her, and Guan Hualang came instead.

Guan Hualang first went to pay a visit to the Xiao family, and now he came to look for Wei Bingyan.

It was said that Li Yuyan had arrived at Luosha River the day before, and wrote a sincere letter to report his safety.

Wei Bingyan knew that Guan Hualang was talking nonsense, but she did not discredit him. She said with a smile that it was really hard work for the third senior brother to travel such a long distance to Luosha River and even go with the prince.

Li Yuyan's letter was written to Wei Bingyan.

In the beginning, he talked seriously about what happened after he arrived in Luoshajiang. Then there was a paragraph with ambiguous wording, which only Wei Bingyan could understand clearly. It was about how he happened to meet a plain-looking female doctor somewhere in the capital one day, and they had a very pleasant conversation and were eager to get to know each other as soon as possible.

I am still worried about him and didn't say goodbye to him before leaving. I feel ashamed until now. I hope that if you happen to meet me, please say sorry on his behalf.

Sorry, a ghost! Wei Bingyan crumpled the letter into a ball without a good tone, and gently raised her hand to throw it out, and saw Guan Hualang looking at her in confusion, his handsome face slightly flushed, and he took his hand back.

"Big Brother, if you reply to Brother Er and Third Brother, please convey my sincere condolences to them." Wei Bingyan pulled the corner of her lips and said with a forced smile.

"Well, Junior Sister, don't you reply to the letter yourself? Yu Yan also said that you would definitely reply." Guan Hualang said, and then he immediately laughed out loud. His bright smile showed some cunning and charming. "Junior Sister, what happened between you and the black fox in the carriage that day?"

"It's alright!" Wei Bingyan said indifferently, "Didn't Senior Brother say that Third Brother was on his way to Luosha River that day? How come he was in the carriage with me?"

Guan Hualang coughed softly, "Is that so? My memory is wrong. My memory is wrong."

Wei Bingyan ignored the puzzlement in Guan Hualang's eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, and asked about something she had been thinking about, "Big Brother, you have always been with Third Brother, but have you ever seen him meet the Sixth Prince?"

"Sixth Prince?" Guan Hualang raised his eyebrows. "I don't think I've ever heard Yuyan mention him. On the contrary, it was that Prince Li who mentioned him many times. However, ever since Yuyan won the first place in the imperial examination, Prince Li rarely sees him anymore."

"Oh!" Wei Bingyan nodded slowly. As expected, everything was still a mystery.

"Junior sister, do you have anything to do the next day?" Guan Hualang asked.

"Oh, the next day..." Wei Bingyan thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something she had almost forgotten. "We have to go to the Huguo Temple the next day. It's rare for our eldest brother to come to the capital, so we might as well go and see the amazing spectacle of the Huguo Temple the next day."

Guan Hualang smiled and raised his lips high. He originally wanted to let his junior sister go with him.
