Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

"Who do you think you are? Why don't you let me go into the study to serve the young master? I tell you, the old lady asked me to serve the young master. If you dare to stop me again, I will not be polite to you." The voice was pleasant and sharp, and the tone was overbearing.

Wei Bingyan slowed down her brisk pace and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Miss Chunbi, the master has ordered that no one can enter the study without his permission. You'd better wait outside." The answer came from a very young boy.

The boy's name is Fengqing, and he is Fusheng's younger brother.

Since Fu Sheng was too old to serve in the inner courtyard, Wei Bingyan saw that his younger brother was very smart, so she asked Feng Qing to serve in Li Yuyan's study.

"What Chunbi? My name is Bichun!" Bichun shouted in a bad tone, "I just brought you some delicious snacks, I didn't do anything else, you won't blame me."

Feng Qing curled his lips vigorously, "No, Master said that no one can enter the study."

"You..." Bichun was so angry that she wanted to smash the plate in her hand on the boy's head, "You are the same as the mountains and rivers, and when I become my aunt, I will be the first to deal with you."

"What a big tone!" Bai Binghui snorted expressionlessly behind Wei Bingyan, "Young Madam, Bichun is relying on the fact that she is the old lady's maid, so she dares to be so overbearing."

She was afraid that Bichun was not overbearing enough! A maid who didn't know herself was easy to deal with. If Bichun did nothing and really waited quietly outside the study, she would be more careful. Wei Bingyan thought deeply in her heart and had already appeared at the stairs outside the study.

When Feng Qing saw Wei Bingyan, he immediately came over with a brilliant smile on his face, "Madam, you're here."

Wei Bingyan liked Feng Qing, who was only eleven or twelve years old. She looked at him and nodded, her eyes full of praise. "Where is the young master?"

"The young master is inside, Madam, please come in." Feng Qing was very smart and knew who his real master was. Although his brother reminded him of this, he was able to make Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan trust him very much. He had a bright future.

Bichun stood upright on the stairs and looked at Wei Bingyan. She curled her lips and bowed to Wei Bingyan, "Young Madam."

Wei Bingyan looked at her and nodded coldly, then pushed the door hard and entered the study.

Bichun's eyes suddenly brightened up, and she wanted to take this opportunity to follow in, but before she stepped over the threshold, she was stopped by Fengqing. Bai Binghui quickly closed the door of the study.

"No one can enter without the order from the young master and the young mistress. Girl Bichun, you'd better wait here." Bai Binghui said with a smile.

"I know the old lady is here to serve the young master!" Bichun brought out the old lady again.

Bai Binghui sneered, "I know you are here to serve the Master, but can't you serve in this place? The Master and the Young Mistress are talking inside, what are you, a servant, doing in there?"

"I am also the young lady and I am here to serve the young master. The young master asked me to guard the door." Feng Qing smiled sincerely and beautifully.

"Guarding the door is also a very important job, Fengqing, you did a great job." Bai Binghui patted his head and said with a smile.

"The young master said that no one is allowed to enter the study, so how can the young lady enter?" Bichun questioned fiercely and angrily. She was the most favored maid beside the old lady, and even the eldest lady of the Li family was polite to her. Therefore, she sometimes forgot her own identity and thought that with the strong support of the old lady, she could ignore Wei Bingyan.

Bai Binghui looked at her like she was a fool, "You also know that that is the young mistress? Who are you?"

Bichun blushed, glared at Bai Binghui fiercely, then turned back and walked towards Deyuan.

Feng Qing went to Bai Binghui and asked, "Sister Bai Binghui, what if she goes to the old lady to tell tales?"

"We said it well, why should we be afraid of her?" Bai Binghui snorted, "No matter what the old lady does, she will not refute the young master's words. The young master's study is not open to anyone."

Feng Qing smiled and said, "Sister Bai Binghui is so powerful that she made Bichun's face turn blue."

"That's how you deal with such a shameless woman!" said Bai Binghui.

Wei Bingyan entered the study and immediately saw Li Yuyan sitting on a recliner with his head bent over something. She walked lightly, appeared near the desk, and helped him change the cold tea.

Hearing the obvious noise, Li Yuyan raised his head with a frown, his eyes cold and silent. When he saw her, the coldness in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and a warm smile emerged, "Why are you here?"

"I heard from others that you were back, so I came to see you." Wei Bingyan said with a smile, looking at the letter in his hand, "Have you met the senior brother?"

"I've been in the pharmacy the whole time." Li Yuyan said, taking her hand and letting her sit next to him, "Nothing happened when you went to the old lady's place, right?"

Wei Bingyan curled her lips with a smile, "What else could happen?"

Li Yuyan mentioned that the palace was already preparing for Princess Mingyue's marriage. His Majesty had issued an edict this morning, ordering the Sixth Prince to send Princess Mingyue to the Rongdi Kingdom for marriage.

"Is there no other solution?" Wei Bingyan asked softly. She felt as if something had been overlooked. "Your Majesty, since you know that the Rongdi people have bad intentions, why did you still nod and agree?"

"It is possible that Your Majesty has other ideas but has not let others know." Li Yuyan said.

Wei Bingyan sighed and felt very sad for Mingyue.

The couple talked for a while, and Feng Qing's voice came from outside, "Sir, there is a distinguished guest outside looking for you."

"Who else would come at this time?" Li Yuyan raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly.

Since his colleague came to visit, Wei Bingyan naturally couldn't stay in the study any longer, so she asked him to go and receive the guest first, and she left with Bai Binghui.

Not long after returning to the house, Bichun came to visit.

I came here to greet Wei Bingyan. I don't know what she said to the old lady. It's only been half an hour, but now I see that she is completely different from before in front of the study. She has become much more respectful and reserved.

Wei Bingyan's attitude towards her was cold, and she didn't look down on her because she was the old lady's maid. Who would be kind to a woman who wanted to steal her husband? Wei Bingyan asked herself if she had the temperament to do so, and it was good enough that she didn't turn her head away.

Bichun knew very well that a young lady like her was born into a noble family, and even the old lady did not dare to do anything to her. She did not want to tease him, but just to get closer to the young master gradually, she had to come here.

Listening to Bichun saying that the old lady asked her to serve the young master and that she would serve the young mistress well, Wei Bingyan frowned and couldn't help but take a sip of the tea.

"The old lady really cares about men. In this case, you should just be on duty in the study. You should do whatever the young master tells you to do. If there is no young master's order, you just need to follow the rules.

If you make a mistake and offend the Master, I will not be able to help you. The Master's study often has colleagues discussing urgent matters with him, and the Master does not want outsiders to hear. You usually stay in the small room near the study. You can go and serve the Master when he has instructions."

After finishing her story, Wei Bingyan waved her hand and let Bichun go.

Bi Saodong was so angry after hearing these words that she cursed in her heart that it was really hateful. This young mistress was just as the old lady said, a person who could not be dissuaded. She was worthy of being the mistress's disciple. Both of them were narrow-minded and regarded any woman who might get close to their husbands as wolves and tigers, as if they would be taken away.

"Madam, it's not a good idea to keep being on guard like that. It seems like the old lady will never give up until she achieves her goal." Anxiang said with a frown.

Wei Bingyan nodded, "Yes, the old man has nothing to do when he is free, so he always likes to cause trouble for the man."

In that case, why not find something for her to do?

……

When Li Yuyan arrived at the spacious main hall and saw the distinguished guests, the pretty boy glanced at him with a bit of surprise.

"Your Highness pays homage to the Sixth Prince." He clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully. He had never expected that the visitor would be the Sixth Prince. Ever since he came back from Huaixi, he had not met with this prince in secret. It was as if he had forgotten what they had said on the river bank that day.

The Sixth Prince was dressed in a dark and exquisite brocade robe, with a cold expression. He glanced at Li Yuyan and raised his hand, "Little Lord Li, there is no need to be so particular about the details."

Li Yuyan knew that the Sixth Prince must have some urgent business to come to him today, so after bowing, he invited him to the study.

"Master Li, His Majesty has issued an edict today, asking me to protect Mingyue to marry into the Rongdi clan. Do you understand?" The Sixth Prince looked straight at Li Yuyan and asked intently.

Your Majesty was announcing the decree in front of all the civil and military officials, so how could he not know? Li Yuyan replied softly, "I know."

The Sixth Prince tapped the chair cover with his right fingers, making a deep, dongdongdong sound, "Where is your cousin? Is he in the capital?"

Li Yuyan's eyes flickered slightly, "What is the Sixth Prince talking about?"

"Guan Hualang!" The Sixth Prince spoke coldly, his eyes mysterious and indistinguishable, "Mingyue has been missing for several months and she went to look for your cousin. I want to know what Mingyue is thinking about marrying a foreign prince."

"It doesn't matter what Guan Hualang thinks. The key is what Your Majesty thinks." Li Yuyan said softly.

The Sixth Prince looked straight at Li Yuyan, and after a long, long time, he asked in a profound tone, "Master Li, can I trust you?"

This is a kind of trust between men, a promise to each other for the future, and a hope for each other. As early as on the bank of the Huaixi River, facing the desolate and pitiful victims and the collapsed dam, they had developed a common concept and deep and terrifying ambition.

Today, it was just a matter of tearing down the barrier between the two people's thoughts and truly facing each other.

Li Yuyan slowly raised his head, looking at the cold and resolute face of the Sixth Prince, recalling the different actions of this prince compared to the other princes, and thinking of what he had said to him in Huaixi that day. Finally, he raised his lips high, bowed his head and saluted respectfully, "I am willing to assist Your Highness."

A gleam of light flashed across the Sixth Prince's eyes. He knew how much His Majesty valued Li Yuyan, and he knew even more how much the former Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince wanted to drag this man into their own faction. Li Yuyan represented so much, and he was sure that hearing these words from Li Yuyan today would shock many people.

He was also touched deep in his heart. With his current power, it would be really difficult for Li Yuyan to support him willingly.

However, his face was as calm as water, and he said with concentration: "Your Majesty wants to fight with Rongdi, so it is natural for him to pretend to fall into a trap. I... want to have the best of both worlds. Sacrificing Mingyue to wage a cruel war is unfair to Mingyue."

"Your Highness, do you know His Majesty's plan?" Li Yuyan asked.
