Rebirth is not a dream.

After dinner, Su Yue and Qin Yi sat on the couch together, drinking tea and chatting.

Su Yue looked at Qin Yi and asked, "How is it in the Hanlin Academy? Is everything okay?"

Qin Yi smiled and replied, "Everything is fine. What does my lady want to know?"

Su Yue asked with concern: "I just want to know if your work there is going well, and if you encounter any difficulties or troubles?"

Qin Yi patted her hand and comforted her, "Nothing is wrong. I just do some repairs and writing every day. Occasionally, when the emperor summons us, we will talk about some past events. Apart from that, there is nothing else."

Su Yue asked curiously: "So, you can still see the emperor often?"

Qin Yi smiled and replied, "Not very often, we can see each other about every few days."

Su Yue's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Then are you going to court as well?"

Qin Yi nodded and explained: "I can listen in from the back of the court."

Su Yue said excitedly: "In this way, won't you be able to learn a lot of important events in the court?"

Qin Yi smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then, he suddenly said: "The envoys from Beiyan will soon arrive in the capital."

Su Yue asked doubtfully: "Come here at this time, are they planning to celebrate the New Year here?"

Qin Yi smiled and shook his head, and replied: "There are still two months before the Chinese New Year! If the negotiations are not too difficult, they will probably leave for home in a few days."

Su Yue asked curiously: "So, what exactly do they want to talk about this time?"

Qin Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Su Yue looked into his eyes and asked, "You can't say it, right?"

Qin Yi quickly waved his hands and explained: "Not really, they just said they wanted to meet Princess Mingyue and see if she is the princess of Beiyan."

Su Yue frowned and said with a worried look: "Princess Mingyue, that's me. Can I stop being a princess? Can I delete everything that happened before?" As she spoke, she shook her head, trying to sober herself up, but still felt very annoyed.

Qin Yi smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Beiyan won't do anything to you."

Su Yue asked worriedly: "But if I were not the princess of Beiyan, would they seize my mother's fault and ask for benefits from Da'an?"

Qin Yi replied: "Didn't my mother-in-law say that your father's name was Chen Hong? This is exactly the name of the Emperor of Northern Yan."

Su Yue questioned: "But he may not admit it!"

Qin Yi continued to comfort her: "Don't worry, Da'an is here, he will not let you suffer any injustice, and will not let them discredit Princess Ming Zhao."

Su Yue nodded helplessly, but she was not very optimistic. After all, things were too complicated and unpredictable. Besides, she was born in Da'an, and her mother had arranged a father named Su Dali for her. In this era, is there a method of identifying relatives similar to DNA? Even if there is, how big will the deviation be? These questions lingered in Su Yue's mind, making her feel extremely confused and uneasy.

Su Yue thought about it. Now many things are still unclear. It will be the same if we talk about it later. It is useless to think so much now. Besides, she is a married princess. Fortunately, she and Qin Yi have consummated their marriage, otherwise she really doesn't know what will happen. She is relatively familiar with Da'an now. She doesn't want to go to Beiyan and have to adapt again. Su Yue sighed softly, "I hope everything will go well. However, I am still a little worried. After all, I know nothing about Beiyan, and I don't know what it is like over there."

Qin Yi held her hand and said gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what happens, I will always be with you."

Su Yue looked at him, feeling more at ease, "Well, thank you, Qin Yi."

In the days that followed, Su Yue tried her best to keep herself calm and gradually adapt to the new environment. She began to study the culture, customs, and habits of Beiyan in depth to prepare for any changes that might occur. Through her understanding of history, Su Yue learned that the current ruler of Beiyan, Chen Hong, was the country's second emperor.

He had two queens. The first queen, Changsun, had passed away, leaving behind two sons: the eldest prince Chen Wushang was named King Ping, and the second prince Chen Wuyang was named King Wu.

The second queen was Princess Mingzhao, Su Yue's biological mother. She gave birth to a son, Chen Muzhao, who was named King of the South, but she disappeared mysteriously.

Today, the harem of Northern Yan is controlled by Concubine Xiao, who gave birth to the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third prince Chen Wuding, who was named Prince of Qing. In addition, there are two concubines: Nangong gave birth to the third princess and the fifth prince Chen Wuli, who was named Prince of Bei; Yuwen gave birth to the sixth prince Chen Wudi, who was named Prince of Li, and the fourth princess. There are also some influential figures in the royal family of Northern Yan, such as Liaodong Prince Chen Ji, who is the sixth uncle of the Yan Emperor; Liaoxi Prince Chen Chi, who is the Yan Emperor's cousin; and Ding Prince Chen Qiang, who is the Yan Emperor's biological brother.

However, now, the King of Liaodong has begun to stir up trouble, and seems to have a rebellious heart. Although there is no solid evidence to prove this, rumors have spread everywhere, causing people to speculate on its authenticity. What is even more remarkable is that the King of Liaodong’s wife is Princess Changping of Da’an, who is the sister of the current emperor! At the same time, the wife of the second prince, King Wu, is the fourth princess of Da’an. Such a complex network of relationships makes people sigh at the political disputes and conspiracies involved.

Su Yue rubbed her temples and frowned as she looked at the information Jiang Yuan had sent her. Beiyan had been giving her a headache these days. Why did Beiyan send envoys to Da'an? What was their purpose? These questions troubled her and made her restless.

Recalling what happened back then, Su Yue couldn't help but feel a complex emotion. At that time, Princess Ming Zhao's grandfather led the army to attack the capital of Beiyan directly, and was about to succeed, but failed because of some problems in Da'an. If there were no accidents, perhaps Da'an would have become a unified and powerful empire. However, Su Yue didn't know whether it was Beiyan's use of a divisive strategy or problems within Da'an that led to this incident.

In addition, Su Yue also thought about her great-grandparents. Only Su Huai's family was left in the Su family, and was there any connection with Beiyan? She was full of questions and confusion. On one side were relatives, and on the other side were enemies. This intertwined relationship between relatives and enemies made her feel very entangled and helpless.

Su Yue sat on the bed and said to Taozi, "Go and get Aunt Tao." Taozi turned and went out. After a while, Aunt Tao came into the room, bowed to Su Yue and said, "Princess, what do you want from me?"

Su Yue asked Aunt Tao while eating snacks: "Aunt Tao, have you heard from Dad recently? Has he sent any letters?"

Aunt Tao stood aside and answered respectfully, "In reply to the princess, the master has not sent a letter, but he sent a message saying that his business in Bingzhou is going well and he will not be able to come back to pay respects this year."

Su Yue looked at Aunt Tao and asked in confusion: "When did this happen? Why didn't anyone report it to me?"

Grandma Tao lowered her head and said softly, "I'm afraid the princess doesn't want to acknowledge me as her master now..."

Su Yue frowned and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Nonsense! When did this princess not recognize her father?" She couldn't help feeling a little angry, thinking that what Nanny Tao said was too outrageous.

Su Yue stared at Aunt Tao, her eyes as sharp as a knife, and said coldly: "You have never asked me what I think, so how can you know? Father Su is the father I have called since I was a child. Even though I am a princess now, I cannot erase the fact that he and mother raised me together. You are here to speculate on the master's thoughts without permission. Do you really think you are the master? You are really a slave bullying the master!"

Madam Tao turned pale and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "I dare not, I am only thinking about my master..."

However, Su Yue was unwilling to look at her again. Since she came here, this Tao Mama has never regarded her as a real master, always self-righteous and self-willed. Su Yue originally planned to drive her out of the house, but she had a close relationship with Old Man Su and it was difficult to let her go. Moreover, Su Yue knew that Old Man Su might know some secrets about Princess Ming Zhao, so it was not appropriate to drive her away easily at the moment.

Su Yue waved her hand and said, "Go down. Tell me any news about Father Su as soon as possible, otherwise I will punish you severely."

Nanny Tao lowered her head and retreated. Su Yue looked at her back and thought that she really couldn't keep this person around. She might stab her at any time.
