Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

This is one of the reasons why Concubine Lu De wanted to take this opportunity to tie the Seventh Prince to the Xiao family.

Let’s talk about the prince’s actions after he was blamed.

In order to prove that he could still accomplish great things even without Wei Zhong, the prince called all the military advisors under his command together to discuss how to make the emperor trust and pay attention to him again. Many military advisors suggested that the prince choose several daughters of wealthy families from among the ministers in the court to be his concubines, which would also win over many ministers in the court.

The prince has been married for several years, and his family is weak. The princess has no children yet. The prince wants to take in more concubines, but he is still in the process of sorting them out.

Mr. Tang, who used to be the prince's right-hand man together with Wei Zhong, remained silent. He looked directly at the military advisor who was trying his best to make suggestions to the prince. This military advisor had just joined the prince's sect last year and was a university scholar. It was also he who came up with the idea of ​​letting the prince take Wei Bingyan as his concubine.

This guy... Mr. Tang frowned and looked worriedly at the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not help but rely too much on those military advisors.

In the end, no brilliant plan was worked out, so the prince had to ask everyone to leave, leaving Mr. Tang alone.

"Mr. Tang, why have you remained silent?" In the study, besides the prince and Mr. Tang, there was also Wang Tianbao, who had become the prince's personal guard.

Wang Tianbao stood silently and upright behind the prince, making it impossible for anyone to notice him. He stood in the lingering shadows, so Mr. Tang could not see his expression. If he could see, he would naturally notice that Wang Tianbao was looking at him with a cruel and murderous look.

"Your Highness, this old man doesn't know how to talk about this." Mr. Tang lowered his eyebrows, his voice helpless. He didn't know where the prince had heard the rumor from before, but he thought that he was secretly doing business with Mr. Pan from Jinyun City. He became suspicious of him and became much more distant from him.

If his request for imperial decree had not been rejected and he had not had a conflict with Wei Zhong afterwards, the prince would probably have forgotten about him.

"Mr. Tang, please tell the truth." The prince said impatiently.

"Your Highness, I feel that it is not appropriate to take in a new concubine now. I am afraid that it will make the emperor lose his favor even more." Mr. Tang said.

The prince frowned unhappily. What he hated to hear the most right now was about losing the emperor's favor. It was obvious that someone was deliberately spreading rumors around His Majesty, otherwise why would His Majesty scold him in front of so many ministers?

"Your Highness, what you need to do now is to cultivate your character. It's best to do nothing..." Mr. Tang knew that the prince might not listen to what he said, but he still reminded him, "That way, His Majesty will look at you differently."

"If I do nothing and watch the Fourth Brother bribe everyone? Will I be able to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince safely then? Do you know what the Fourth Brother is planning? If he wants me to do nothing, isn't that just closing my eyes and waiting for death to come?" When the Crown Prince heard what Mr. Tang said, his face immediately darkened.

Mr. Tang said, "The Fourth Prince is taking this opportunity to create public opinion, which is only temporarily beneficial. Your Majesty may not like it. Your Highness, from ancient times to the present, no one in power would like others to be ranked higher than themselves."

"Mr. Tang, you are wrong. That is the fourth brother, your Majesty's son. If your Majesty feels that the fourth brother is more popular than me, doesn't that mean he is treating me as a waste?" said the prince unhappily.

"Your Highness, doing nothing and having nothing to achieve is the ultimate!" Mr. Tang sighed deeply in his heart. As expected, no matter what he said, the prince could no longer listen.

"Mr. Tang, you are just too cautious and prudent. People who do great things need to be bold and responsible. Being timid is ridiculous." The prince scolded.

Mr. Tang was helpless and said helplessly, "If Lord Wei was here, he would definitely allow the old man to tell his story."

These words were like a knife stabbing the prince in the sore spot. He turned pale and was filled with righteous indignation. "Don't mention Lord Wei anymore. If it weren't for him, would I be where I am today? At that time, I had many excuses to ask him to marry his daughter to me. Humph, if it wasn't for him, how could I be rejected by His Majesty?"

If the prince had listened to their advice and not asked for permission to marry Miss Wei as his concubine, how could he have been taught a lesson by His Majesty? What kind of family is the Wei family? How could they accept their only legitimate daughter as a concubine? The prince was really wishful thinking. He was probably being used without even realizing it.

Last time, Mr. Tang was framed and slandered, and the prince did not have absolute trust in him. Now, seeing that the prince was suspicious of Wei Zhong, who had always been loyal to him, he felt helpless and discouraged.

How could such a person be a wise and brave ruler? How could he be considerate and kind to his subordinates who had risked their lives for him?

The prince had no idea what Mr. Tang was thinking at this moment, and he kept raising his hands impatiently, "You go down first, and think about what to do next. We must think of a way to suppress the fourth brother's momentum."

Mr. Tang bowed and slowly left.

He stood outside the study and hesitated for a long time, finally walked out the door, got on the carriage, and headed towards the Wei family.

Wang Tianbao, standing in the darkness, watched Mr. Tang disappear in front of the door without a trace, and a gloomy smile flashed across Hua Yan's face.

Afterwards, the prince seriously followed the opinions of Shen Guang and others, and once again requested an imperial decree to take in several concubines.

His Majesty threw the note back to him face to face, reprimanded him for being ignorant, refusing to repent, and not making progress. He ordered him to reflect at home for a month, and not to enter the palace without further notice, nor to attend court meetings. All the tedious government affairs in his hands were handed over to the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince.

After the prince returned to the prince's mansion, he was furious. He drove out all the military advisors who had given him ideas, and immediately sent people to invite Mr. Tang and Wei Zhong to come.

However, Mr. Tang had already met Wei Zhong a few days ago, and he had reported to the Crown Prince and retired from the throne.

As for Wei Zhong, he found an excuse not to go to the Prince's Mansion because of the old man's visit. The Prince could not find anyone to help him with ideas, and became even more angry. He beat the Princess Consort and even killed the baby in her belly.

This matter reached the palace again, and His Majesty was furious. If the Empress and Father-in-law Li had not appeared immediately, the edict to depose the crown prince would probably have been issued.

The Queen Mother sent someone to convey the message to the Prince, warning him that he must cultivate his character and hide his edge. Only then did the Prince lose the courage to act recklessly anymore. He closed the door tightly and no longer warmly welcomed the guest into his mansion.

……

Since Li Yuyan came back, Wei Bingyan no longer pretended to be sick, but she didn't go out much either. Except for going to Mrs. Li's house, she stayed at home all the time to accompany Mrs. Xiao or Old Master Wei.

Occasionally, Li Yuyan would come over and talk to Old Master Wei. Wei Bingyan was a little surprised how a young and an old man could talk so much, but every time she was sent away with various excuses.

Even if they were close friends, why did he always use her to his advantage? Wei Bingyan couldn't help but grumble in her heart.

Guan Hualang and Mingyue also came to look for her, blaming her for hiding the secret from them, and they really thought she was seriously ill.

Two people came to visit her with similar ideas. Wei Bingyan silently observed their expressions and realized that although they still quarreled, there was no more tension as before, and Mingyue's attitude towards Guan Hualang was very unpredictable.

On the contrary, Guan Hualang has nothing special about Mingyue.

Especially when Guan Hualang proposed to return to Guanzhuang, Mingyue was in a trance for a long time. After saying a few words with a gloomy face, she immediately retreated with Wei Bingyan.

Wei Bingyan looked at Guan Hualang in confusion, and that look made Guan Hualang feel uncomfortable all over.

"Junior sister, if you look at me like that, I will panic!" Guan Hualang turned over. Let Guan Hualang's eyes pass. You should know that Xiao San'er is a narrow-minded person. If he sees the junior sister looking at him with such infatuation, he might think of some devilish tricks to slander him.

During his last trip to Haoyue, he was almost robbed and killed several times. This time he returned to Guanzhuang just for this matter!

"Brother, have you been killing people and robbing things recently?" Wei Bingyan asked with a smile.

"I'm just eating from a wealthy family. What's the point of talking about murder and robbery? That's really ugly." Guan Hualang shouted.

Guan Hualang looked at him with a smile, "Have you been to Princess Mingyue's mansion?"

"It's not a good thing to be robbed!" Guan Hualang said.

Wei Bingyan's eyes were bright, "Big Brother, how do you feel about Mingyue?"

Ever since she realized that Mingyue had no love for Li Yuyan, and was instead very concerned about Guan Hualang, Wei Bingyan no longer cared about who Li Yuyan married in his previous life.

Since Li Yuyan is different from before, others will surely be different too. Why should we continue to follow the familiar old path?

"What does her good or bad have to do with me?" Guan Hualang turned his head and said lightly.

"But..." Wei Bingyan noticed that Guan Hualang's expression was a little different. When she wanted to take a closer look, she saw that he was smiling again.

"I have to go to the pharmacy to take care of some things, so I'll leave first." Guan Hualang stood up and said.

Wei Bingyan asked hurriedly, "When did you come back from Guanzhuang?"

"Hurry up, Miss Bao's matter can't be delayed for too long." Guan Hualang replied.

In the blink of an eye, it is February. The warm breeze is like a pair of scissors, and the colorful flowers are everywhere.

In this wonderful season, Xiao, with her big belly, began to prepare for Wei Bingru's marriage. Prince Chu was already on his way to marry his dainty bride. In a few days, Wei Bingru would be married to the Chu family in Jinyun City in a grand ceremony.

In order to finally marry Wei Bingru off, Xiao Shi still took care of it herself even though she was about to give birth, and she kept adding people to Wei Bingru's side to prevent any trouble. She was determined to do her best to ensure that such a concubine's daughter would marry off honestly and dutifully.
