Rebirth is not a dream.

Since Su Yue caught a cold last time, she has been resting in the yard for a whole month. During this period, she did not leave the house, stayed in her room all day, played with the two children, and occasionally went to the yard to bask in the sun and get some fresh air. Her complexion gradually became rosy, but her body was still a little weak, and she needed to rest for a while before she could fully recover.

Time flies, and it is already the end of May. In this beautiful season, Qin Yuanyuan's child was finally born! To her delight, she gave birth to a healthy and lovely boy as she wished. This made the second wife very happy. When she went to the third-day bathing ceremony, her face was filled with joy that could not be concealed.

You know, although Qin Yuanyuan is only the concubine of the second prince, she is the one who has married the Royal Jade Butterfly! Moreover, the second prince dotes on Qin Yuanyuan and even raises the child by his side. Even the virtuous concubine is very satisfied with this. Although Qin Yuanyuan's child is not a legitimate son, as the eldest son of a concubine, his status cannot be underestimated. Now, Qin Yuanyuan has truly established a foothold in the second prince's mansion.

What made people even happier was that the emperor was so pleased with the birth of the second prince that he even granted him the title of King of Jin! This was undoubtedly a double happiness, and the entire palace was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. People congratulated the second prince and Qin Yuanyuan, wishing them a happier and more fulfilling life.

As summer approaches, the temperature gradually rises, and the hot weather makes people feel uncomfortable. However, for the old lady in the mansion, she has a sense of joy and expectation in her heart. Recently, there have been many happy events in the mansion, which makes the old lady feel that she should go to the temple to pray and donate some incense money to express her gratitude.

After careful consideration, the old lady decided to take the women in the house to the temple to spend a few days of quiet time together. This plan would not only allow them to get close to Buddhism and seek spiritual comfort, but also enhance the relationship between family members.

In addition, the old lady also made an appointment with several wives of noble families to go to the temple together. Such a gathering will become an opportunity for communication and sharing, where everyone can encourage each other in a pious atmosphere and deepen their friendship.

Therefore, the preparations in the palace were carried out in full swing. The women carefully selected suitable clothes and accessories, hoping to show dignity and elegance in the temple. The Marquis personally arranged the itinerary and related matters to ensure that everything was in order.

Su Yue went to Guanghua Temple with everyone in the Marquis' Mansion. When they arrived at the mountain gate, they happened to meet Mrs. Lu's family who had been arranged to meet in advance. Just as the two families were greeting each other, Princess Subei and her family also arrived here.

Princess Subei was a straightforward, neat and generous person. When she saw Old Lady Xie from the Anning Marquis's Mansion, she hurriedly said, "Sister Xie, we haven't seen each other for a long time! Old sister, you actually thought of inviting me to come and burn incense. I'm so happy in my heart!"

The old lady also hurriedly said: "I miss my sister too!"

The crowd chatted and laughed as they walked towards the temple, which was filled with smoke, exuding a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Xiao Seng Mi enthusiastically led them to their respective residences. Su Yue chose a guest room that was relatively remote but very quiet. However, Tao Zi was a little worried about this choice. She looked at Su Yue and said, "Miss, is it unsafe to live in such a remote place?"

Su Yue responded playfully: "Why don't we go and squeeze in with the eldest young lady?"

Taozi waved her hands quickly: "Forget it, let's just stay in this room and let Qiuzhu pay more attention to the surrounding situation."

When Qiu Zhu heard this, he grumbled in dissatisfaction: "When have I not been alert?"

Su Yue smiled and comforted her: "Our Qiuzhu is the most powerful, Taozi, don't speak ill of him."

Taozi also hurriedly explained: "Isn't it because I'm outside, and my right eye has been twitching, I always feel a little uneasy, so I want to remind everyone to be careful."

Su Yue said lightly: "If you really don't like this room, ask if there are other empty rooms to change to later. Don't be so superstitious." Taozi said anxiously: "This is all for your safety, young lady!"

Su Yue: "I know, little superstitious."

After Su Yue and the two maids had finished packing, they walked towards the courtyard where the old lady was. At this time, the three ladies of the Marquis' Mansion were already present, and Xie Nanqiao had also arrived here. Su Yue walked forward and bowed to everyone according to etiquette. Seeing this, Aunt Cheng also hurriedly stood up and bowed to Su Yue, saying, "How are you, Third Young Madam?" Su Yue politely returned the bow, then found a seat at the bottom and sat down. Not long after, the eldest young lady, as well as Qin Jiaojiao, Qin Yun, Qin Ting and others arrived together.

Seeing that everyone was present, the old lady said, "We elders will go to the main hall to pray for blessings. If you young people don't want to go with us, you can wander around the temple, but remember not to go too far." Everyone answered in unison, "Yes."

Madam Hou said, "Let's go to the dining hall to eat at noon. Don't be late."

Several ladies headed towards the main hall. Su Yue and Wang Xinxuan, the two young wives who had nothing to do with shopping, also followed the ladies to the main hall. Aunt Cheng came with her aunt, and her own mistress didn't go shopping either, so she couldn't walk far, so she could only follow Su Yue.

Princess Subei and the Crown Prince's wife also arrived in front of the main hall. Soon, Mrs. Lu came with her daughter-in-law. Under the guidance of the abbot, everyone visited the various halls of the temple and listened to the teachings of Buddhism. Su Yue felt like she was on a tour group in her previous life. She was busy walking and kneeling until noon. Su Yue was tired and hungry. Fortunately, these ladies and daughters-in-law were not tired. The abbot personally led them to the dining hall, and the monk poured hot tea. The ladies drank tea and exchanged their recent situations with each other. The atmosphere was harmonious.

Su Yue sat quietly aside, listening to their conversation. She noticed that Princess Subei's eyes would occasionally glance at her, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Su Yue turned sideways and asked Taozi in a low voice: "Have I ever met Princess Subei?"

Taozi whispered, "No."

After lunch, everyone took a leisurely walk in the courtyard, admiring the beautiful scenery of the ancient temple. The bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on the ground, forming a patchwork of light and shadow. At this time, Princess Subei slowly walked to Su Yue, with a faint smile on her face, and asked softly: "You are the daughter of Princess Mingzhao in the rumors, right?"

Su Yue raised her head, her eyes clear as water, nodded and replied: "My princess, there is indeed such a rumor." Princess Subei looked at Su Yue carefully, a hint of imperceptible admiration flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "What an interesting woman. You look very similar to Princess Mingzhao." Hearing this, Su Yue lowered her head slightly, a shy smile appeared on her face, and she responded softly: "I am indeed quite similar to my mother, but..."

Princess Subei seemed to see through Su Yue's thoughts and said, "Your mother is a legendary figure." Su Yue couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Are you familiar with my mother?" Her eyes were full of anticipation, and she was eager to know more about her mother from the other party.

Princess Subei: "I am familiar with her! Back then, our second son was a fierce general under the princess! He followed the princess to fight in many battles and made many military achievements!" Su Yue heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, she asked eagerly: "If you have time, may I bother you to tell me about my mother?" Princess Subei nodded with a smile and said: "Of course, if you want to listen, I will find a suitable time to invite you to come, and then I will slowly tell you." Su Yue was grateful and thanked her quickly: "Okay, thank you, princess!"

At this moment, Su Yue's heart was filled with anticipation and excitement. She was eager to learn more about her mother's past from Princess Subei, as if those memories that had been sealed for years were about to be uncovered again...
