Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Except for Bai Binghui who showed a look of great joy, Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan did not show any surprise when they heard Xiaohe's news. This was within their expectations.

Wei Bingyan knew that Li Yuyan would get the top three places in the imperial examination because of her memories from her previous life, so she was not surprised. Li Yuyan's calmness came from his immense confidence.

Xiao He said, "The old man and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are in the study outside, waiting for Young Master Li and want to celebrate for him."

Li Yuyan's brows were raised and he looked restless, as if he was not very willing to meet the prince.

Wei Bingyan smiled brightly and looked at him, "After the exam, I believe that Third Senior Brother's reputation will be even more brilliant."

"I will definitely not forget my junior sister when the time comes." Li Yuyan said with a slight smile.

"No need to be so polite. I accept Third Brother's kindness." Wei Bingyan said with a cold face. After Li Yuyan takes the exam, so many people in the capital will be watching him. If her relationship with him as senior brother and junior sister is exposed, she will have a hard time in her life.

Seeing that Li Yuyan was not in a hurry to meet the prince and the old man, Xiao He opened her mouth and said it again.

Wei Bingyan turned around and said, "Go and tell the old man that Young Master Li will be here soon."

"Yes." Xiao He looked at Li Yuyan and responded.

Li Yuyan looked at Wei Bingyan with amusement, "The Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince both want to win over Shen Wei, and Lord Wei is trying hard to help the Crown Prince marry Shen Wei's niece, but you want to help the Fourth Prince?"

Wei Bingyan said with a gloomy face, "Even if Shen Rouruo becomes the prince's concubine, Shen Wei may not be able to be used by the prince!"

"I've been feeling confused..." Li Yuyan opened her mouth softly. Wei Zhong put all his energy into helping the prince, but as Wei Zhong's daughter, Wei Bingyan didn't seem to be very sincere towards the prince. What should she think?

"Third Brother, there is no need to feel confused for me. I am just an insignificant little woman. No matter what I think, it has nothing to do with the overall situation." Wei Bingyan knew what Li Yuyan was thinking deep in his heart. Before he asked, she had already rushed to answer.

Li Yuyan smiled slowly, "Little Junior Sister, don't underestimate yourself subconsciously. Third Senior Brother will try his best to do what you ask of me."

Wei Bingyan bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Third Brother!"

Li Yuyan's dark eyes rested on Wei Bingyan's face for a while, and he said softly, "I'm sorry to bother you with my mother's housing. If I go to arrange it, I'm afraid my mother will be disturbed in the future."

"Okay!" Wei Bingyan nodded.

Li Yuyan wanted to say something else, but he saw several bright figures appearing at the other end of the small garden. He did not say much to Wei Bingyan, but just nodded and left the small garden.

Bai Binghui walked to Wei Bingyan's side, looked at Li Yuyan's back as he left, and sighed, "Miss, Young Master Li is better than Prince Li."

Wei Bingyan closed her eyes slightly, "Bai Binghui, I think I only asked you to send fresh fruit to Li Yuyan once?"

"Madam... you also asked me to send you back twice..." Bai Binghui's eyes were empty and she didn't have the courage to face Wei Bingyan.

“Hehe, then, what about the ginseng slices? Did I ask you to give them to him sincerely?” Wei Bingyan asked calmly.

Bai Binghui looked at Wei Bingyan innocently, "Miss, isn't that right? Apart from sending it to Young Master Li with sincerity, you didn't ask me to send it to anyone else."

"You..." Wei Bingyan wanted to scold Bai Binghui in a bad tone, but was interrupted by the voice behind her.

"Sister!" It was Wei Wan and Wei Hui.

"Sister, was that man Li Yuyan just now?" Wei Hui's little face was flushed, and it was obvious that she had been in a hurry all the way here.

Wei Wan said, "Third sister, please don't make the mistake. How could Li Yuyan come to our house?"

"I saw Li Yuyan from a distance before, and he looks very similar to the guy from behind. Sister, is that right? That's Li Yuyan!" Wei Hui's eyes were filled with excitement. "I heard from others that Li Yuyan got the first place in the exam and will take the big exam the next day. His Majesty will definitely appoint him as the top scholar."

Seeing the two sisters talking back and forth, Wei Bingyan couldn't get a word in. She just curled her lips and smiled, "Li Yuyan came here to thank my mother for being a good host. If you had come a little earlier, you would have met him. Now he has been called over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wei Bingyan thought that if she still said that she didn't know Li Yuyan at this time, Wei Hui and Wei Wan might not believe it. After they knew her relationship with Li Yuyan, they might even misunderstand her.

Wei Hui's eyes lit up, "As expected, it's Li Yuyan!"

"Sister, it turns out that you and Li Yuyan know each other. Looking at the way you two were just now, it seemed like you were very familiar with each other." Wei Wan looked at Wei Hui, then at Wei Bingyan, and asked in a charming tone.

"Fourth sister, don't talk nonsense. I'm getting engaged to Prince Li. If you say something nonsense, you'll ruin my reputation." Wei Hui glanced at Wei Wan and called out in a breath-taking voice.

"Sister, are you really going to get engaged?" Wei Wan asked.

Wei Bingyan frowned and looked directly at Wei Hui, "Who told you that I'm going to get engaged to Prince Li?"

"That day...I heard it from my father and mother that day." Wei Hui realized that her words were careless, and lowered her head, not daring to meet Wei Bingyan's cold eyes.

"Since you only heard it from others, you can't take it seriously. Besides, that Prince Li and I haven't even started dating yet, so how do you know what will happen in the future?" Wei Bingyan's voice was not harsh, but Wei Hui felt a chill down her spine when she heard it.

Ever since she came back from Prince Ping'an's Palace, she never heard her mother say anything about promising her to Li Yunze. She thought her mother might have heard what she said that day, or maybe Li Yunze believed the rumors and thought she was a bad girl, so there was no follow-up to the matter.

She was just happy that she didn't have to think of ways to postpone such a marriage, but she didn't expect Wei Hui to bring it up again. Since her second uncle and second aunt would bring it up, could this matter not be let go?

"I just heard it from others..." Wei Hui pursed her lips and spoke softly.

Wei Wan pulled her and said, "How can what you heard from others be true? Don't talk about it, sister. We have to go to the needlework room to pick out the thread. I won't tell you."

"Go!" Wei Bingyan nodded coldly. She couldn't help but think in her heart that as expected, she couldn't let it go. She had to find a way to make Wei Zhong completely give up and stop using her to win over the Li family.

Wei Bingyan returned to the main room. Xiao was already waiting for her in the room, her face looking heavy.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Wei Bingyan walked over and asked softly.

"It was Concubine Lu who sent Liu Zhu to convey the message. It's about you." Xiao pulled Wei Bingyan to sit down and spoke with a frown, her tone full of anxiety.

Wei Bingyan was stunned. About her? "What did Concubine Lu De talk about?"

"The Empress Dowager asked about you in detail the day before, and also asked if you were not married yet. The Empress Dowager has not allowed concubines to visit her palace since last year. She suddenly summoned Concubine De and specifically asked about you. Concubine De felt that something was wrong, so she asked Liu Zhu to come and ask me what was going on." Xiao said.

"The Empress Dowager... why did you ask me specifically?" Wei Bingyan was surprised. How could a lady like her attract the attention of a high-ranking figure like the Empress Dowager?
