Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Feeling that someone was disturbing her sleep, Wei Bingyan pouted her little mouth unhappily and turned her body in another direction.

Li Yuyan smiled gently, but then he became ruthless and decided to keep it a secret from her instead of letting her take risks. He held her in his arms and cuddled her to sleep.

Wei Bingyan moved twice in his arms, found a comfortable position, and continued to dream.

The next day, Wei Bingyan followed the Empress Dowager to the Huguo Temple.

The abbot of the Huguo Temple had received the order the day before and knew that the Empress Dowager would come today to hold a ceremony for Princess Mingyue, so he closed the temple today and did not allow other believers to enter to pay their respects, and greeted the Empress Dowager's arrival with great caution.

Along with the Empress Dowager, several princes' wives also came to the Huguo Temple, and Princess Su Yan also came.

Wei Bingyan stood upright beside the Empress Dowager and glanced at Su Yanluan. Li Yunze and Su Yanluan had gotten married last month. When she received the wedding invitation, she realized that she could not remember her life in the Li family in her previous life.

She had no love or resentment towards Li Yunze and treated him as just a stranger.

Since the prince's wife was here, Shen Rouruo, who had been promoted to the title of queen, was naturally present as well. She looked at Wei Bingyan with amusement.

The abbot of the Huguo Temple was holding a ceremony, and the Empress Dowager was watching from the side. Wei Bingyan and the others naturally did not dare to leave easily. All of them had a sad look on their faces, whether it was sincere or pretended, at least in front of the Empress Dowager, they did not dare to be negligent.

Wei Bingyan remained calm, as she was the only one who knew where Mingyue was now. However, she was less courageous than anyone else to be careless.

The sacred Buddhist ceremony had not yet ended when the Empress Dowager felt sleepy and ordered the palace maid to help her go back to the side room to rest. After the Empress Dowager left, the others dispersed.

"Madam Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing recently?" Wei Bingyan gritted her teeth and insisted on guarding near the Hongdao field where the students were studying Yingwu. Shen Rouruo looked at her with a smile and slowly walked towards her.

Wei Bingyan didn't have an imperial decree. Seeing Shen Rouruo, who was now the Fourth Prince's consort, she should have bowed respectfully, but her knees couldn't bend no matter what. She just smiled coldly and said sarcastically, "How can you compare to the complacency of the Fourth Prince's consort?"

Shen Rouruo didn't seem to care about Wei Bingyan's impoliteness at all, and continued to say with a smile, "Master Li will soon go to Baiyue to take up his post. I heard from others that there are many beautiful women in Baiyue, and they are bold and unrestrained. Master Li is really going to be blessed."

“If the Fourth Prince’s wife is envious, when I go to Baiyue, I will definitely select several beautiful women from Baiyue and sincerely give them to the Fourth Prince.” Wei Bingyan said softly.

"You want to go to Baiyue?" Shen Rouruo was a little surprised, then immediately smiled, "You should go. You have been married for so long, and Master Li is the only child in the family. Considering the future generations, how can you not go?"

"Is the Fourth Prince's wife worried about her offspring?" Wei Bingyan smiled grimly. Shen Rouruo had been married for so long but had not been able to get pregnant. Wei Bingyan was the only one who understood the reason.

Shen Rouruo's face changed involuntarily. The fact that she had been married for so long and still hadn't gotten pregnant was a pain in her heart. She looked at Wei Bingyan with a cold and sharp look in her eyes.

Wei Bingyan was the person she hated the most in her life. She couldn't move in the capital, but when she arrived in Baiyue... thinking of the relationships she had worked so hard to build in Baiyue, Shen Rouruo felt happy in her heart. She would definitely hope that Wei Bingyan would have the chance to return to the capital again!

After the sacred Buddhist ceremony was completed, everyone knelt to see the Empress Dowager off to return to the palace.

Wei Bingyan did not exchange pleasantries with the other concubines. She secretly left the Hongdaochang when no one was noticing her and appeared outside the gate. When she was about to get on the carriage, she saw two familiar-looking figures running towards her from the other side.

It’s Shen Rouruo and Princess Su Yan!

The two chatted and laughed, and looked very close.

Wei Bingyan just glanced at him coldly, turned around and got into the carriage, and told the servant to drive away skillfully.

The carriage gradually moved onto the road, leaving the two figures far behind.

Shen Rouruo, who was talking to Su Yanluan, slowly raised her head, looked at the departing carriage with a gloomy smile in her eyes, and said to Su Yanluan: "How long can you watch her enjoy the glory?"

Su Yanluan looked at Wei Bingyan's carriage with a sinister look, "Who is she? Is she worthy of my concern?"

Shen Rouruo smiled and said, "I heard from others that Master Li swore for her that he would never marry a concubine. Madam Li treats her like a daughter. She is truly a treasure in the Li family."

"So what? I don't believe she can continue to show off during this trip to Baiyue. Men are fickle. Li Yuyan is just seeking something new. After going to Baiyue, with so many beautiful women around, how could she not be moved?" Su Yanluan said with envy and jealousy.

She particularly liked Li Yuyan and had tried every possible means to marry him to her, but she never expected that the Empress Dowager would actually give him a lowly girl like Wei Bingyan.

"It doesn't matter whether Li Yuyan is attracted by the beauties of Baiyue." Shen Rouruo said softly, "As long as he understands the ways of the world and doesn't reveal the secrets of the nobles destined by the capital in Baiyue, then he may be able to keep a way to survive."

"Can our affairs really be kept secret?" Su Yanluan asked with a frown.

"You can even hide it from Prince Li, let alone others. Just relax." Shen Rouruo patted her hands and said with a smile.

Su Yanluan knew that Shen Rouruo was not a simple person, so since she said so, she would no longer worry.

Wei Bingyan naturally had no idea what these two women were planning. After returning to the Li family, she concentrated on preparing for the Baiyue trip and did not go out to socialize again.

This trip will last for two years, and there are many things to prepare. It is also a headache to decide who to bring along.

In the end, it was Mrs. Li who helped her make the decision and asked her to bring all the maids with her. Anyway, there were not many maids around Wei Bingyan, and only a few of them were useful. She was unfamiliar with Baiyue, so it would be better to have more trusted ones.

Li Yuyan only brought the Fengqing brothers with him. Besides them, there were two other good men Wei Bingyan had never seen before. One of them looked like a gentle and reserved talent, while the other looked ordinary, but he always carried a sharp ink-colored sword.

Li Yuyan introduced these two to Wei Bingyan before leaving the capital, only saying that they were his confidants and not much else about them.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of departure.

Li Yuyan chartered a passenger ship with a very large deck, double height and several side rooms. This was to compensate for the fact that he only traveled quickly on his last trip to Baiyue and had no time to appreciate the scenery on both sides. This time he chose a comfortable ship and had plenty of time, so he naturally wanted to appreciate the intoxicating scenery along the way.
