Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

In her previous life, before Wei Bingyan fell into trouble, she had never paid attention to Li Yuyan's information. At that time, she might have respected her status and had no interest in a young marquis who suddenly became famous in the whole capital. If she hadn't asked him for help in the end, she would never have deliberately approached him.

Therefore, seeing the two sisters chattering about Li Yuyan, he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

Wei Wan reached out her hand and wanted to hold Wei Bingyan's arm, but she didn't know what she thought of. Her hand stopped in the air and she smiled, "Sister, why don't we talk over there? I'll slowly tell you about Li Yuyan."

"Yes, sister, let's go there and I'll ask someone to get some fresh fruits for us to eat?" Wei Hui said.

"Okay!" Wei Bingyan nodded and said with a smile.

It was only a short distance from the small garden to the small pavilion, and Wei Hui asked her maid to bring the Hami melon, which was delivered directly to her.

"...So many candidates came to the capital, and they all went to see Mr. Baili, but except for Li Yuyan, no one else could get in. I heard from others that Li Yuyan was originally a student of Mr. Baili, and Mr. Baili was not an ordinary person. Therefore, these big figures in the capital wanted to win him over."

Wei Wan excitedly told Wei Bingyan what had happened in the capital over the past few months.

Wei Hui chimed in, "That's right. Mr. Baili is the wisest man in our Tang Dynasty. Although he is not an official in the court, he is highly respected by His Majesty. He likes Li Yuyan so much. Even if Li Yuyan fails the exam, his future is promising."

"However, this is not the reason why Li Yuyan is so famous." Wei Wan said, "Last month, the envoys of Liyang came to our Tang Dynasty to meet the emperor. These agile guards of Liyang grabbed a few strong men on the street and said they wanted to compete in martial arts. They also said that any man in Liyang can fight well.

Could it be that our Great Tang is not as good as their small Liyang? Many talented people were insulted by these barbarians on the street, and Li Yuyan happened to be there at that time. He took the initiative to rescue those talented people who were about to be killed. When these barbarians saw that Li Yuyan was going to teach him a lesson, they were caught off guard.

Afterwards, these barbarians said that Li Yuyan should compete with the fierce men from Liyang. Whoever loses must kneel down in front of everyone and call the other person "grandfather..."

"Somehow this matter got to His Majesty's ears, and he was furious. He felt that the people of Liyang didn't take our Tang Dynasty seriously, so he ordered people to summon Li Yuyan and the other candidates to the palace to watch the competition. It turned out that this Liyang prince was the most powerful man in Liyang..."

"Prince Liyang himself selected several generals of our Tang Dynasty to fight him, but none of them could defeat him. He was so despicable as to ask Li Yuyan to be his opponent. Humph, at that time he must have thought that Li Yuyan was a talented person and must be weak. Who could have known that he would be beaten so badly that he could hardly stand up!"

Wei Wan finished her story in one breath, her cute little face flushed with excitement, as if she had witnessed the entire competition.

"So, now Li Yuyan is well-known to everyone. I heard from others that the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince went to look for him in person." Wei Hui said.

Wei Bingyan didn't understand this matter, but she knew that Li Yuyan didn't want to attract attention so quickly. She estimated that the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince were unable to see him.

"...However, Li Yuyan has been living in Mr. Baili's house. Even when the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince went there, they couldn't find him." Wei Wan continued.

Wei Bingyan suddenly thought of another thing, that is Liyang Country...

If my memory is correct, the Liyang Kingdom has never had a very good relationship with the Tang Dynasty. It was only because it was inferior to the Tang Dynasty in terms of power that it reluctantly submitted to the Tang Dynasty. If someone had not done it on purpose, how could the guards of Liyang dare to bully civilians on the streets of the capital, and even retaliate and injure talented people? This was a naked provocation.

It seems that the war between Liyang Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty will not last long.

"Sister, you haven't told me yet, do you know this Li Yuyan?" Wei Wan asked curiously.

Wei Bingyan replied vaguely, "He is Jin Yun's man, how could I not have heard of him? By the way, is Prince Liyang still in the capital now?"

"I've already returned to Liyang. I've lost so much face. Why am I still staying here?" Wei Hui snorted.

"Where did you hear all these stories from others?" Wei Bingyan asked with a smile.

"Hey, everyone in the capital knows about this now. We also heard about it from other places. But, sister, don't worry that we are exaggerating. We are telling the truest truth." Wei Wan said seriously.

When it comes to absolutely true things, if they are spread from one person to ten people, from ten to a hundred people, there will always be differences, but this is not what Wei Bingyan is concerned about.

I guess Wei Zhong also wants to win over Li Yuyan now!

"Sister, eat some melon." Wei Hui used a bamboo stick to pick up a piece of fresh fruit and handed it to Wei Bingyan. "I heard from others that Li Yuyan is very handsome and many young ladies in Beijing have a crush on him. It's a pity..."

"It's a pity that I can't see you. All I can do is think about you every day." Wei Wan said with a giggle.

"Whoa, who... who's thinking, how can I be worthy of Young Master Li? A person like Young Master Li, only an extraordinary person can be worthy of him." Wei Hui stretched out her hand and prepared to twist Wei Wan.

Is she worthy of Li Yuyan? Wei Bingyan smiled faintly, as if she were a noble lady...

After finding out what she had thought through, Wei Bingyan stopped chatting with her two sisters. She returned to Wanyuan, read a book for a while, and reviewed the acupuncture techniques. In a flash, a long time passed.

While taking a break at noon, Wei Bingyan sent Bai Binghui to find out where Guan Hualang was staying. Worried that Bai Binghui didn't know the way around since she had just arrived in the capital, she found a graceful and obedient little maid to go with her.

Li Yuyan lives in Mr. Baili's house, and Guan Hualang may not be able to move in. I heard from others that this person has a strange personality, and even His Majesty has the guts to refuse to show his favor...

However, this was the first time she heard from others that Li Yuyan was Mr. Baili's student. She always thought that he got to know Mr. Baili after he became the top scholar.

After all, in a few days, it will be the midsummer, and the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty will begin. It is time for Li Yuyan's true glory to be displayed!

Not long after Wei Bingyan lay down, An Xiang walked in quietly, "Miss, the master asked someone to tell you to go to the study."

"Father is looking for me?" Wei Bingyan was stunned. Wei Zhong seldom took the initiative to talk to her. Could it be that he wanted to punish her again?

"Yes, Miss, do you want to change your clothes and come over?" Anxiang asked.

"Is Bai Binghui back?" Wei Bingyan asked softly.

"He hasn't come back yet." He has only been out for half an hour, so I don't think he will be back so soon.

Wei Bingyan sat up and said, "Help me change my clothes."

Wei Zhong's study was in the outer courtyard. Wei Bingyan seldom stepped into it. Unless there was something urgent, Wei Zhong would never let anyone from his family come here. After all, this was where he discussed important matters with his colleagues.

"The young lady is here." Li Yong, who was outside, saw her and immediately bowed. "The master is waiting inside." As he spoke, he had already opened the door.

Wei Bingyan walked in. The study was large and bright, but there was a strange feeling. Wei Zhong was sitting directly behind the desk, with his head bowed, writing something.

"Father!" Wei Bingyan bowed respectfully, lowering her head as if listening.

Wei Zhong craned his neck to look at her, then pointed to a nearby recliner and said, "Sit down!"

Wei Bingyan sat down as she was told. Although she was confused, her face was as calm as water.

"When you were in Jinyun City, you often went to the Li family. Did you curse them like this?" Wei Zhong asked intently, still with his head hung down.

"Yes!" Wei Bingyan responded softly.

Wei Zhong nodded slowly, "So, you and Li Yuyan know each other?"

"I've met him once or twice." Wei Bingyan replied formally. Wei Zhong didn't know that she was studying medicine with Madam Li, and he didn't know that she also called Li Yuyan "Third Senior Brother".

"Well, although Li Debing is conservative, he did give birth to a good son." Wei Zhong looked up, his eyes showing a hint of special color, "Since Madam Li took good care of you in Jinyun City at that time, you should also be the host and entertain him warmly."

What does this mean? Do you want to win over Li Yuyan through her?

Even if she wants to be the host, she shouldn't be the one to do it herself, right?

If Wei Zhong knew that the relationship between them was a different matter, and he still didn't know it now, why did he ask her to warmly entertain Li Yuyan?

"My daughter doesn't know where Young Master Li has settled in the capital." Wei Bingyan resisted the urge to frown and spoke softly.

"You write an invitation letter yourself, and I will have someone deliver it directly to him." Wei Zhong's tone had a hint of dominance.

"Father, I'm not familiar with Young Master Li. It doesn't seem right to rashly send him an invitation letter." Wei Bingyan's eyes did not move, but she still did not nod in agreement.

Wei Zhong smiled at her, "Bingyan, you have been very smart since you were a child, you must have guessed why your father did this. Originally, this matter should not be handled by you personally, but if you let your mother go to invite him sincerely, it will be seen by His Majesty as our Wei family forming a clique for personal gain. It will be different if you go to give Li Yuyan an invitation letter."

Wei Bingyan smiled grimly in her heart. Why was she worried about the suspicion of forming a clique for personal gain at this moment?

Wei Zhong has always been offering advice to the crown prince. How come he isn't worried that Your Majesty might suspect that he is colluding with the crown prince?

In fact, if Wei Zhong had not been criticized by His Majesty today, he would not have been so cautious.

"My daughter knows what to do!" Wei Bingyan said softly. She was not yet able to resist Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and said, "In a few days, Princess Ping'an will hold a banquet in the palace to entertain many young ladies in the capital. When the time comes, you and your mother should go to attend."

Wei Bingyan was just about to say that she was not feeling well and did not want to go, but suddenly she thought of Prince Ping'an's daughter who ran away from home with a skilled swordsman, and Mr. Ran, and she nodded and agreed.

"It's all right. You can go back. Once the invitation letter is written, have someone send it to me." Wei Zhong said.

"Yes, father."
