Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

The Seventh Prince was a little unwilling, "Mother, I also want to learn from that guy and fly around in the air."

"What do you mean by flying around? That's a martial art. It's very difficult to learn. You can't even hold a bow and arrow properly now, how can you learn that?" Concubine Lu De said with a smile, holding the Seventh Prince in her arms coquettishly.

"Once I learn how to use a bow and arrow, will my father let me learn martial arts?" the seventh prince asked naively.

"You will know when the time comes when you ask your father," said Concubine Lu De.

After hearing these words, the Seventh Prince's cute and round face turned slightly red, and his eyes were shining with excitement, "Mother, I'm going to look for Father."

After he finished speaking, he ran out, and the little palace maid behind him hurriedly followed him.

Concubine Lu De stood upright in front of the door, looking at the Seventh Prince with a smile on her face. The palace maids nearby had secretly retreated, and only Wei Bingyan stood beside her.

"After all, the Seventh Prince is still your cousin." Concubine Lu De suddenly said.

Wei Bingyan bowed her head slightly and said softly, "I don't have the courage to approach him. The Seventh Prince is a noble and elegant man, how can he be compared with a little girl?"

"No matter how elegant and graceful you are, there is no way to change the fact that your mother and I are sisters." Concubine Lu De glanced at Wei Bingyan and said with a gentle smile.

“Yes!” Wei Bingyan responded. Although Concubine Lu De and her mother were sisters, she did not feel any sibling feelings with the Seventh Prince at all. How could it be easy to be a member of the royal family?

Concubine Lu De's eyes were fixed on an unknown place in front of her, and she said softly, "If the Seventh Prince becomes capable in the future, it will be good for the Xiao family, the entire Wei family, and you... all of them."

Wei Bingyan bowed her head and listened without opening her mouth to speak. Concubine Lu De didn't seem to want her to say anything, and continued, "I often heard your mother say that you were smart since you were a child and understood things better than others. I think you should also know... why the prince asked for permission to marry you.

This time, His Majesty rejected the Crown Prince's request. I think the Crown Prince is no longer as concerned about the entire Wei family as before. If your father can choose good wood again, it is a good time. "

She didn't know that Concubine Lu De had always been a law-abiding person and would never get involved in disputes. But what she said today made Wei Bingyan feel a little heavy.

"The Seventh Prince is not a child anymore, and His Majesty is in good health. How he will change in the future... Who can tell for sure? Bingyan, you tell me, right?" Concubine Lu De asked with a smile.

It was difficult to answer any question. Wei Bingyan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Concubine Lu De smiled with satisfaction, "What do you think of the Seventh Prince?"

"He's smart and will become a pillar of society in the future." Wei Bingyan praised. Who doesn't like their son to be praised?

“If someone lends him a helping hand in the future, he will definitely become a great man.” Concubine Lu De’s eyes lit up and she looked at Wei Bingyan with amusement.

Wei Bingyan said softly, "Yes."

"I think it would be great if Marquis Dingyuan could be one of our own in the future. Bingyan, you are old enough to get engaged. How many women in the capital wish to marry Prince Li? What about you? Do you have someone you love?" asked Concubine Lu De.

After talking for a long time, he just wanted her to marry Li Yunze, and then make the Li family her own, and later work with the Wei family to help the Seventh Prince ascend to the throne. Concubine Lu De was really calculating.

The Xiao family, the Wei family, and the Li family... no matter whether it is the crown prince or the fourth prince, they are definitely not as good as him.

When did Concubine Lu De come up with such an idea?

Wei Bingyan looked up, looking at this woman who looked a bit like her mother. She wanted to tie the Wei family to the Seventh Prince and use her to win over Li Yunze. Who gave her such an idea? Was it the Xiao family?

No matter who it is, don't think of using the Wei family to be with her. "Your Majesty, I have a crush on someone."

Concubine Lu De's eyes turned cold, "Who is it?"

"It's not Li Yunze." Wei Bingyan replied softly without any fear.

"Marriage is not something you can decide. It's getting late today, so you should go back first. Think carefully about what I said." Concubine Lu De's voice was cold. This tone was full of warnings and exhortations. She kept waving her hand to let Wei Bingyan leave.

Wei Bingyan bowed and saluted, "Yes, I take my leave."

Concubine Lu De walked into the palace without even looking at her.

Wei Bingyan sighed in her heart, and left gracefully, walking quickly and briskly. She felt as if this magnificent imperial palace was a terrifying place, and she couldn't stay there for even a moment.

When she got home, before she had time to greet Mrs. Xiao, she heard from others that Princess Mudan of Prince Ping'an's Mansion wanted to invite her to a gathering the next day. Wei Bingyan was frivolous and impetuous at heart, so she asked Aunt Yin to reply, saying that she was ill and could not go to Prince Ping'an's Mansion the next day.

When they arrived at the main room, they conveyed Concubine Lu De's intention to Xiao. Xiao frowned and thought for a while, "This is definitely not what father meant. Let me write a letter to ask. If the Xiao family is willing to help the Seventh Prince, we will make preparations."

In Wei Bingyan's impression, her maternal grandfather had always been aloof from worldly matters and valued his reputation. He would definitely not come up with any idea that would allow Concubine Lu De to fiercely compete for the throne of the Eastern Palace.

In order to avoid being disturbed again, Wei Bingyan pretended to be sick and was unwell for more than half a month.

During the fifteen days that Wei Bingyan collapsed due to the pain, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Lu sent people to see her. Seeing that Wei Bingyan's face was as pale as paper and her hands and feet were weak, they all believed that she was really ill.

Princess Mudan even paid a personal visit, but she did not mention the meeting between Wei Bingyan and the Sixth Prince that day. She just expressed her concern and expressed her condolences before leaving.

In the next few days, Wei Bingyan's life was completely quiet. At least no one came to her to get information or give her advice on her marriage.

Even during the Lantern Festival, Wei Bingyan stayed at home with Xiao and did not go out to join in the fun.

Wei Bingru went out with her maid. Her marriage was getting closer and closer. Although Xiao was pregnant, she did not neglect the education and discipline of Wei Bingru. She asked two aunts from the palace to teach her etiquette and rules, which made Wei Bingru become more and more introverted.

However, Wei Bingyan knew such a sister very well. Even though her aunt had passed away and Jing'er was lying half dead on the soft bed, she absolutely did not believe that Wei Bingru would obediently marry or really cultivate her character.

I’m afraid Wei Bingru will do something next.

It's not that Wei Bingru didn't want to do anything to stop herself from marrying into Jinyun City, she was just powerless. Without Aunt Lian, she was not much better than a maid at home, and her only younger brother was now lying on the soft big bed. Because of Xiao's pregnancy, Wei Zhong had indeed forgotten that he had such a son to care about.

Wei Bingru bit her lip secretly. She had no intention of appreciating the colorful lights outside the carriage. It was a rare opportunity to sneak out, but she had no intention of appreciating those lights. She only felt ridiculed.

"Second Miss, the Baiming Tower is in front." The maid Ping'er lowered the curtains and spoke softly to Wei Bingru.

"Look, there's someone following us." Wei Bingru retracted her gaze and frowned. She knew that Xiao was a little surprised when she allowed her to go out, and she was a little worried that she would dispatch someone to follow her closely.

Ping'er gently lifted the curtain and looked back. There were dense crowds of civilians who came out to enjoy the lanterns. There was no one following them. "Second Miss, don't worry. There are so many people. It's not easy even if you think about it."

Wei Bingru nodded, "Be careful."

Not long after, they arrived at Baiming Tower. Wei Bingru supported Ping'er's men and brought the carriage. She felt a little uneasy. The last time she participated in the banquet at Prince Ping'an's Palace, someone gave Ping'er a note with only a short sentence on it: if she wanted to escape from this desperate predicament, she should go to Baiming Tower during the Lantern Festival.

To be on the safe side, Wei Bingru just took Ping'er to sit by the window and did not look to see who had made an appointment with her to meet here. Maybe that vile creature Wei Bingyan was testing her sincerely, or maybe she was setting a trap for her to fall into. She must have fallen for it.

"Second Miss, it seems that the person we are looking for is not there." Ping'er poured a cup of tea for Wei Bingru and whispered in her ear.

"How do you know who we are looking for?" Wei Bingru raised her lips in a mocking tone. If there was anyone who was secretly looking for her, he would have noticed that she was here.

Ping'er lowered her head, but her eyes were looking everywhere.

The waiter came over to refill the kettle with water and said to Wei Bingru with a smile, "Miss, why don't you go to the side room on the upper floor? You can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the upper floor. It's much better than here."

Wei Bingru tilted her head, "It's the same every year. It's not new. So what if I go to the side room?"

"This year must be different," the waiter said with a smile.

"Just lead the way and see what's different this year." Wei Bingru glanced at the waiter and said softly.

"Okay, Miss, please take this place." The waiter bent down and said with a smile, leading Wei Bingru and her servant to the second floor and appearing outside a side room close to the main road.

The waiter did not open the door to invite Wei Bingru in. He saluted her in front of the door and then stepped back.

Wei Bingru frowned slightly and motioned Ping'er to go up and knock on the door.

The simple door with diamond-shaped lattices was opened with a creaking sound at this moment, and a beautiful woman dressed as a maid bowed to He Wei Bingru, "Second Miss is here, our Madam is waiting for you inside."

This maid... Wei Bingru was secretly surprised. She felt that she looked familiar, but she didn't have the courage to be sure whether she was the person she was thinking about deep down.

Ping'er whispered behind Wei Bingru, "Miss, she was the one who gave me the little note."
