Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

This was not the first time Wei Bingyan came to Prince Ping'an's Palace, so she felt less awkward than before. She followed Xiao into the main hall for the banquet and immediately attracted the stares of many people. The looks they gave her were not very friendly. Some were gloating over her misfortune, while others wanted to see her lose face. She didn't know when she had offended those people.

Xiao walked to Princess Ping'an with a small belly. Before she could bow, Princess Ping'an supported her calmly and said, "You are pregnant, so don't worry about this empty courtesy."

"You have always been such a kind woman." Xiao said with a smile.

After bowing respectfully and sitting down, Wei Bingyan realized that Shen Rouruo was also present. She was sitting right opposite them. She was talking to Princess Su Yan, but her eyes were looking at Xiao's tender belly with a sinister and creepy look in her eyes.

The main hall for the grand banquet was built in the garden of the palace. The guests for the banquet were all from the royal family, while the male guests were all in the courtyard.

All those present were wives of prestigious families in the capital, many of them young ladies. Even though marriage was not an option in the chilly January, it was a rare occasion to have such a celebratory festival. They held a sumptuous banquet and arranged secret blind dates. I wonder how many matches would be made in secret.

Wei Bingyan glanced around and didn't notice the Crown Princess. Does that mean the Crown Prince didn't come today? That would be best.

When she first came to the Prince Ping'an's Palace, Wei Bingyan was labeled as a wicked woman. After that, she threatened Zhu Xuelin who came to ridicule her without any courtesy, and successfully established her reputation as a wicked woman. Today, when she came here, it was another lively feast, but she had the bad reputation of being an unfilial daughter.

A wicked woman and an unfilial daughter...her reputation is extremely bad.

However, this time no one dared to ridicule Wei Bingyan at the banquet. This was Prince Ping'an's Palace, and Wei Bingyan was Princess Mudan's student. They didn't want to offend Princess Mudan here.

Another point is that the news that the prince is going to marry Wei Bingyan as his concubine has already spread. Although His Majesty has not yet expressed his attitude, no one wants to offend the prince before the matter becomes clear.

Wei Bingyan sat directly next to Xiao, with her head slightly lowered, looking obedient and gentle.

Princess Ping'an and the Fourth Prince's wife are talking.

The Fourth Prince's wife was diagnosed with pregnancy a few years ago. Having already given birth to two daughters, she hoped that this baby would be a son. Naturally, these flatterers picked up good words and said something that made the Fourth Prince's wife smile, looking very proud.

Shen Rouruo curled her lips in a grim smile.

Wei Bingyan took a look at the Fourth Prince's wife. She was a petite woman from Ze Country. Although she was not as beautiful as Shen Rouruo, she had a strange and graceful charm.

She remembered that the Fourth Prince's wife's third child was a son, but she didn't quite understand what happened to the Fourth Prince's descendants.

However, if Shen Rouruo became the Fourth Prince's concubine, it would be hard to say whether the Fourth Prince's concubine could give birth to a son smoothly.

Probably because she couldn't bear to see the Fourth Prince's wife showing off when she was the center of attention, Shen Rouruo cast her ill-intentioned eyes towards Wei Bingyan and smiled intimately, "I haven't seen Bingyan for quite some time. She looks more and more beautiful. As the saying goes, when you encounter something happy, you naturally feel happy. Bingyan is about to have good things happen. No wonder she is getting more and more charming as she grows older."

Although being betrothed to the prince is an honorable thing, it is not necessarily a happy thing for Wei Bingyan. As the legitimate daughter of the Wei family, she is actually going to be a concubine. No one will envy her, but will only ridicule her behind her back.

Ever since Shen Rouruo was betrothed to the Fourth Prince, she only felt better when she heard others say that Wei Bingyan would also become someone else's concubine. Wei Bingyan, Wei Bingyan, this day will come for you too!

Her words sounded like congratulations and blessings, but no one in the audience could fail to understand her real intention. For a moment, no one responded.

"How can we talk about something that has not yet been solved?" Princess Ping'an glanced at Shen Rouruo indifferently and said with a smile.

After hearing Princess Ping'an speak up and try her best to protect her, Wei Bingyan stopped talking.

Princess Mudan, who was sitting directly next to Princess Ping'an, raised her head and looked at Wei Bingyan earnestly, then smiled and told the servants that the meal could begin.

Shen Rouruo was rebuked by Princess Ping'an and was about to ridicule Wei Bingyan, but the Fourth Prince's wife pulled her sleeve and gently warned her, "Even His Majesty hasn't received a definite answer yet, don't lose the Fourth Prince's face here."

Yes, His Majesty hasn't even issued an edict yet, and you're already here congratulating them. Moreover, the Fourth Prince is still trying hard to ruin this marriage. Who are you, a concubine of the Fourth Prince, helping?

Shen Rouruo regained consciousness and was angry in her heart. She just couldn't bear to see the mother and daughter being so complacent, but she was indeed too emotional today.

Then at the banquet, no one paid any attention to Wei Bingyan, at least no one dared to show their ridicule and contempt for Wei Bingyan unscrupulously.

After the lively feast, Princess Ping An suggested going to the small garden to enjoy the charm and beauty of flowers and drink tea. Today the sky is clear and the breeze is gentle, which is very suitable for appreciating the charm and beauty of flowers and enjoying the scenery.

Now that she could move freely, Mingyue came to find Wei Bingyan. Ye Ruzi had been hiding at home recently to embroider exquisite wedding dresses, and she was rarely seen. Mingyue could only talk to Wei Bingyan.

Wei Bingyan was not very reassured by Xiao and did not want to go to the flower garden with Mingyue to watch the fun. Xiao saw what she was thinking and sent her out with a smile, "I am talking to Princess Mudan here, what are you two little girls doing here? Aren't you bored?"

Everyone else went to the Small Garden. Due to Xiao's physical disability, Princess Mudan went with her to Baoxiaziyi for a short sit, but did not go to the Small Garden.

Since Xiao said so, Wei Bingyan was naturally not worried. She thought to herself that this was Prince Ping'an's Palace and nothing would happen, so she went out with Mingyue.

Afraid that Mingyue would bring up the matter of the crown prince again, Wei Bingyan told her not to mention it again before she could open her mouth. Mingyue said unhappily, "Who wants to talk to you about the crown prince? It's hard to accomplish this anyway. I just want to ask you..."

Mingyue seemed to want to speak but hesitated, and an unhappy expression flashed across her face.

"What?" Wei Bingyan asked confusedly.

"Where has your senior brother been recently? I haven't seen him?" Mingyue asked shyly.

Wei Bingyan's bright and clear eyes turned around and looked at Mingyue in confusion, "Are you asking about Guan Hualang?"

"Besides him, how many senior brothers do you have?" Mingyue looked at her and two blushes appeared on her face.

"Didn't he go to Haoyue?" Wei Bingyan looked at Mingyue with amusement. She remembered that every time Mingyue and the senior brother met, they were like mortal enemies, but today it seemed a little different.

Mingyue frowned, "It's been several months, why haven't you come back yet?"

"Oh?" Wei Bingyan said sincerely, "So you already knew that my senior brother went to Haoyue. Princess Mingyue, you seem to care about him a lot."

"Who cares about him? I... he saved me once before, so I asked, wondering what happened to him." Mingyue snorted and shouted with her mouth as hard as a duck's beak.

Wei Bingyan smiled softly, "When did my senior brother save the beauty like a hero?"

Mingyue, however, was unwilling to say anything. No matter how Wei Bingyan tried to coax her, she was unwilling to tell her how she and Guan Hualang had resolved the misunderstanding between them.

Since she couldn't get the answer here, she could ask Guan Hualang later, so there was no rush.

They walked quickly into a river pebble path. They could hear voices nearby. It was Princess Ping'an and the Fourth Prince's wife who were chatting and laughing with everyone in the quaint corner pavilion, appreciating the charm and beauty of flowers.

Mingyue held Wei Bingyan's hand and crossed the holy lotus pond. After walking for a while, they saw a bamboo pavilion. In the pavilion stood a man in a tea-green robe. He was tall and strong, with mysterious eyes like the sea and a deep and domineering face. His cold face fluffed slightly when he saw Wei Bingyan and Mingyue.

Wei Bingyan stopped and looked at Mingyue with a frown, "Why?"

Mingyue often came to the Ping'an Palace to accompany Princess Ping'an, so she was naturally more familiar with this place than others. Did she take her for such a long distance today just to take her to see the person in the bamboo pavilion?

"I... I was entrusted by someone..." Mingyue hung her head, embarrassed to face Wei Bingyan's questioning gaze.

Wei Bingyan sighed and said softly, "What's the use?"

Mingyue bit her lip and said, "I'll wait for you in front. Just this once. I won't do that next time."

After he finished speaking, he ran to the crossroads and waited, but he turned around with concern, fearing that Wei Bingyan would leave in anger.

Wei Bingyan sighed helplessly in her heart, walked towards the bamboo pavilion, bowed her head and saluted respectfully, "Sixth Prince, I wonder what you want to see me for?"

The Sixth Prince licked his lips, his dark and handsome eyebrows furrowed. He was looking for her? Could it be that she needed his help? His eyes darkened slightly, and he glanced at the red figure who was timidly bowing his head nearby.

"Today, I am Miss Wei." The Sixth Prince opened his mouth softly, his voice hoarse and powerful.

Wei Bingyan craned her neck to look at him, waiting for his next words.

The Sixth Prince coughed softly, and a hint of unnaturalness appeared on his face. He had never been so embarrassed before, and he didn't know where to start with such a woman beside him.

"You don't have to worry about the prince's matter." He said, but felt that his words were a bit redundant, as it was obvious that she was not worried about this issue.

"Thank you for the reminder, Sixth Prince." Wei Bingyan said this in a too polite way, but deep down she was mumbling, did the Sixth Prince come to her just to talk about this? Isn't it boring?

"Have you gone to get treatment?" She hung her head, and he could only see her clear forehead and delicate little nose. Such a delicate lady, yet she was so powerful when facing Princess Su Yan the day before... It was really hard to believe.

Wei Bingyan opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked softly, "How can the Sixth Prince be so sure that I am the female doctor?"

"Aren't you?" The Sixth Prince laughed and asked while looking at her bright and charming face.

Yes or no, what does it have to do with him? She tilted her head to look at Mingyue, and immediately realized that she and the man beside her... were arranged to meet each other sincerely, and maybe he thought she was looking for him.

"Sixth Prince, actually... I just wanted to ask you about that matter. Since you said not to worry, that's good, then..." After Wei Bingyan found out that the reason for their meeting was not simple, she racked her brains to find an excuse to leave.

"Miss Wei, do you know what the King's uncle once mentioned to Old Master Wei?" The Sixth Prince did not give her a chance to find an excuse to leave.

Wei Bingyan remained silent and looked down at the tip of her shoes.

"Are you happy with that?" he asked quietly.
