Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

No one knew why Princess Ping'an tried so hard to react after seeing Wei Bingyan's silk handkerchief. Only Prince Ping'an, who was beside her, was shocked when he saw the egg-yellow peony flower on the silver silk handkerchief, and looked directly at Wei Bingyan with lightning-like eyes.

Wei Bingyan looked at Princess Ping'an holding the silk handkerchief, her face pale and her heart beating fast, and thought of a rumor her mother had told her in the past.

There is a rumor that a princess from the Prince Ping'an's Palace once ran away from home.

The egg-yellow peony flower was embroidered by her according to what Mr. Ran taught her, using the velvet embroidery needle technique that was not common in the capital. Even though she did not learn it all and did not acquire all of Mr. Ran's true skills, she had learned about 70% of it.

Mr. Ran...what is your relationship with this princess?

"Miss Wei, this... is yours, yours?" Prince Ping'an's voice was a little hoarse and dry. It had been so long since he last saw such a blooming egg-yellow peony flower. For a moment just now, he almost thought that he had made a mistake.

Wei Bingyan guessed the reason why the prince and his wife were so excited, but her expression remained calm. "Your Highness, this is my handkerchief."

"How did you get it?" Princess Ping'an asked in a quick voice with a little breath.

"Your Highness, this was embroidered by me." Wei Bingyan replied softly.

Princess Ping'an showed a sad look on her face, "You... embroidered it?"

"Yes!" Wei Bingyan hung her head and did not say that this was taught to her by Mr. Ran.

Princess Ping'an's lips trembled twice, and suddenly her face turned pale and she fainted. Prince Ping'an was greatly surprised and hurriedly asked someone to carry the princess back to the house.

Everyone in the garden was shocked. They didn't know where this sudden change came from, and they didn't know what unknown secret Wei Bingyan's handkerchief had. Princess Ping'an, who had always been calm and steady, was so abnormal. Everyone looked at Wei Bingyan with puzzled eyes.

Princess Mingyue turned around and looked at her with a frown, then turned around and went to see the princess.

The prince stood up from his comfortable seat and said to Princess Ping'an with concern, "Uncle, what happened? The princess..."

Prince Ping An waved his hands and sighed in frustration, as if he had suddenly aged. "Prince, today's sumptuous banquet is a failure of my hospitality. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter." The prince frowned, knowing that Prince Ping'an didn't want to tell him too much.

At the signal of Prince Ping'an, this lively banquet came to an end, and everyone left with a bit of disappointment.

"Bingyan, what's wrong with your handkerchief? How did it scare Princess Ping'an like this?" Ye Ruzi asked Wei Bingyan in a soft voice while no one was paying attention to them.

Wei Bingyan stared intently and curled her lips, "I don't know either."

If Mr. Ran is really the noble lady who ran away from home in the past...should she inform Princess Ping'an of Mr. Ran's whereabouts?

Mr. Ran is her teacher. Since she doesn't want to return to the capital, as a student, she shouldn't add to her worries, right?

Ye Ruzi looked at Wei Bingyan in confusion, "Bingyan, nothing happened when you were in Jinyun City, right?"

"Why do you ask like that?" Wei Bingyan turned around and said with a smile.

"I always feel that you are a little different." Ye Ruzi said a little lonely. It felt like she hadn't seen her close friend for only three years, but she felt like they had become much more unfamiliar. The cold face of the past didn't seem to have so many little secrets.

Wei Bingyan said, "Everyone is going back, Ruzi, I will come to look for you in a few days."

Ye Ruzi said: "Don't forget it."

The banquet, which lasted less than half a day, ended just like that. Xiao waved goodbye to others reluctantly. Wei Bingyan walked towards Shen Rouruo and said, "Sister Shen, you really stole the show today. It was really beyond my expectations. I didn't expect you to dance so well."

Shen Rouruo watched the gentle figure disappear from her sight without a trace, and turned her head away dully, "What are you talking about, sister? I am just a trifle skilled."

"Your little trick has been remembered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I think there will be good news soon." Wei Bingyan said with a smile, "With father actively acting as a matchmaker for my sister, even if my sister becomes the Crown Prince's concubine, she won't be too depressed or miserable."

"What are you talking about? What about actively being a matchmaker?" Shen Rouruo's face changed color. What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How did she know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked like? Her entire thought today was on her lover, and she didn't pay any attention to the Crown Prince who was near Wei Zhong.

Wei Bingyan smiled and said, "Sister Shen will understand soon. We should go back now. Goodbye, Sister Shen."

……

Wei Zhong and the Crown Prince walked out of the Prince Ping'an's Palace and saw the Sixth Prince and Li Yunze outside the door. The Crown Prince looked up with a friendly smile and walked over.

"Fifth brother, sixth brother, Prince Li, it's still very early, why don't we find a place to have a drink?" Compared with the Fourth Prince, the Crown Prince lacked broad-mindedness and was too dependent on the people around him to do things, making it difficult for him to make his own analysis. However, he was better than the Fourth Prince in winning over the brothers.

The Fourth Prince had aloof and arrogant temperament and rarely interacted with other princes, so naturally the emotions between them were somewhat unfamiliar.

"Crown Prince, please let me go. I was punished to drink a lot of wine in there just now, and now I can't even walk normally." The fifth prince smiled and shook his head. He couldn't drink a sip.

Li Yunze smiled and said to the prince, "Your Highness has found a beautiful woman today. I think he is in a good mood and wants to celebrate with a drink."

The prince laughed out loud, "Who in the whole capital dares to be as cool as Li Shizi? You are a confidante whose influence spreads all over the world."

"Prince, please don't tease me. I haven't got a family yet." Li Yunze narrowed his beautiful eyes and glanced at Wei Zhong vaguely.

"I still have to go to the military tent to take a look, so I can't accompany you." The Sixth Prince spoke to the Crown Prince with concentration.

He had been attending the banquet today with reluctance, and now that the banquet was over, he naturally had to do his work. A batch of brand new weapons were to be delivered to the military tent today, and he wanted to see them before he could feel at ease.

The Sixth Prince works in the austere and solemn Ministry of War.

The prince waved his hand and said, "That's fine, let's have a drink together some other day."

As soon as the words came out, the Fourth Prince and two or three born nobles came out from the spacious main gate of the bright palace. When they saw the Crown Prince and others outside, the sinister look in their eyes seemed to become even darker.

"Prince!" He cupped his hands, but it was not at all clear how respectful he was.

"Fourth brother seems to be in a bad mood today." The prince asked with concern, carefully playing the role of a caring brother.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. But you...will have to go to Luosha River to closely monitor the progress of the dike repair. I heard from others that the climate there is extremely hot. If you are not careful, you will get a terrible plague. Your Highness must be careful." The Fourth Prince did not hide his defiant look on his face and spoke to the Crown Prince mockingly.

The prince's eyelids twitched slightly, "Fourth brother, you are too suspicious. Since Your Majesty trusts me, I will handle the business well."

The fourth prince smiled and said, "Your Highness, you have worked hard." After he finished speaking, he got into the carriage that was waiting on the side.

"My fourth brother is becoming more and more domineering and unruly!" The prince clenched his fists tightly, and his trembling cheeks revealed how angry he was at this moment.

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince fought over the Luosha River, and the ruthless supervisors had spent a lot of hard work and sweat. His Majesty attached great importance to the Luosha River project. If any of them could do a good job, they would naturally be praised by His Majesty. But in the end, it was the Crown Prince who got such an official job, and the Fourth Prince was naturally dissatisfied.

Wei Zhong whispered a few words of comfort to the prince, and the prince slowly let go of his hands and said to the Sixth Prince and Li Yunze, "Since everyone has no extra time, let's do it next time."

The Sixth Prince nodded, asked someone to bring his horse over, and headed towards the military tent.

The prince and Wei Zhong got on the carriage. The prince could not help but vent his anger. "The fourth prince is too arrogant. Does he really think he can bring me down? Does he think that the military strength of the Linghu family can suppress me?"

“Your Highness, although the Fourth Prince has the support of the Linghu family, you are the Crown Prince,” Wei Zhong said.

"Does he treat me as the prince at all?" the prince asked angrily.

"It doesn't matter whether he wants to treat you as the crown prince or not. All that matters is that you always remain the crown prince in His Majesty's eyes." Wei Zhong said.

The prince thought for a moment and then laughed, "Lord Wei is right. No matter how much the fourth prince jumps around, he is only a prince. I am the prince."

Wei Zhong smiled lightly, "Your Highness, the most important thing now is to marry Shen Wei's niece as a concubine. After a while, Shen Wei will inherit such a niece. If his daughter becomes your concubine, what else do you have to worry about?"

"Haha, that's really good. However, Shen Wei may not agree." The prince said with a frown.

"Then let him nod in agreement!" Wei Zhong said with concentration. Although he was interested in the charming Shen Rouruo, compared with women and deep and terrifying ambitions, deep and terrifying ambitions were naturally more important. Women would be available at any time, so how could he compete with the prince for women?

When he thought of that, Wei Zhong erased the last bit of lingering thoughts about Shen Rouruo from his heart.

……

Shen Rouruo leaned against the wall of the carriage in loneliness. As the carriage moved, the sunlight shining on the earth passed through the curtains and fell on her snow-white and childish face, making her more bright and charming. "Lianyi, do you think he will like me?"

"Is there any man in the world who doesn't like a young lady?" Lianyi wasn't sure who her young lady was referring to, but she still answered softly.

"Yes, he will definitely like me. His eyes are so gentle, how could he not like me?" Shen Rouruo said.

"Who are you talking about, young lady?" Lianyi asked softly, very curious about how the young lady could fall in love with a man when she had just arrived in the capital.

"But he wants to push me to another man." Shen Rou acted as if she heard nothing and just spoke to herself sadly.

Lian Yi remained silent for a long while before she said, "He must not know the young lady's feelings, otherwise how could he be willing to let her down."

After Shen Rouruo heard this, her eyes suddenly widened and she said to herself, "Yes, he doesn't know my feelings. If he knew my feelings, he would definitely not do that."

"Miss?" Lianyi looked at her worriedly.

"I don't know if he is willing to marry me. No, he already has a wife, but I am more beautiful than his wife and I like him more..." Shen Rouruo said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I don't want to be a concubine, I just want to be his only..."

Lianyi frowned, feeling that the more the young lady spoke, the more confused she became.
