Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue couldn't figure out what the Southern King meant. He was so confused. At this time, Wang Xinxuan walked up to Su Yue and said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law organized a good party!" Su Yue replied modestly, "It's not bad. This is not something I learned from my mother. It's all because of my mother's good teaching."

Wang Xinxuan looked at Su Yue, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, and continued: “My sister-in-law’s identity is different now, and the pattern is also different.”

Su Yue smiled slightly and responded, "Sister-in-law, please help me entertain the guests today. We are all family, right?" She hoped to get Wang Xinxuan's support and help.

However, Wang Xinxuan said reluctantly: "You really know how to order people around!" But she also knew in her heart that this was an opportunity to demonstrate her abilities.

Just when they were about to chat for a while, the people from the Lu family arrived. Wang Xinxuan was sharp-eyed and saw Mrs. Lu at a glance. She hurried over and greeted her warmly: "Aunt, you are here."

Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded, praising: "Xin girl, you are still so enthusiastic."

Then, Madam Lu stepped forward to bow to Su Yue and said respectfully, "Greetings, Princess." The maids behind her also stepped forward and presented various precious gifts.

Su Yue smiled slightly, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Mrs. Lu is too polite. We are all family, there is no need to be so formal." She slightly turned sideways and motioned to Aunt Tao beside her to take the gift from Mrs. Lu. Aunt Tao smiled and walked forward, took the gift box with both hands, and bowed to Mrs. Lu to express her gratitude.

Then, Su Yue personally led Mrs. Lu and her group into the back garden. Along the way, she chatted cordially with Mrs. Lu, introducing some flowers, plants and trees in the garden, as well as some interesting stories and allusions from time to time. Mrs. Lu listened with great interest, with a happy smile on her face.

In the back garden, the sun shines through the leaves, casting mottled shadows, and the breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of flower fragrance. Su Yue takes everyone to stroll in the back garden, appreciate the scenery in the garden, and feel the beauty of nature. Mrs. Lu can't help but sigh: "This garden is so beautiful! It makes people feel relaxed."

As they walked, they chatted about family matters, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Su Yue also took the opportunity to ask about Mrs. Lu's family situation and her health. Mrs. Lu gratefully replied that everything was fine and expressed her blessings to Su Yue.

Lu Anruo stood behind, quietly watching Su Yue and Mrs. Lu talking cordially, with a smile on her face, but her eyes revealed an elusive expression. I don't know what she is thinking at the moment, she just follows behind everyone silently.

Su Yue entrusted Madam Lu to Wang Xinxuan's care and then turned away, leaving behind an elegant back. At this moment, Lu Anruo found an opportunity, quickly stepped forward, respectfully saluted Su Yue and said, "Meet the princess."

Su Yue stopped and looked at Lu Anruo, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She asked softly, "Miss Lu, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Lu Anruo raised her head and looked directly into Su Yue's eyes, with a hint of provocation in her tone: "Now that you have become Princess Mingyue, do you feel extremely happy?"

Su Yue smiled and replied: "Of course, are you happy for me too?"

Lu Anruo frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "As a princess, you should learn more knowledge and etiquette, otherwise you are not worthy of your third cousin!"

After hearing this, Su Yue's face changed slightly, and she asked back: "Do you think I don't deserve the title of princess?"

Lu Anruo quickly shook his head and explained: "I didn't say that."

Su Yue sneered, "Whether I am worthy or not, I am a princess canonized by the emperor himself. If you are dissatisfied with this, you can go to the emperor to argue, or ask your father and uncle to impeach the matter. But what problem can you solve by complaining to me?" After that, she ignored Lu Anruo and turned away. Lu Anruo gritted his teeth and looked at Su Yue's departing back, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.

Lu Anruo stared at everything in front of her with wide eyes, her heart filled with shock. She could never have imagined that Su Yue, who she once looked down upon and thought was just an ordinary merchant girl, would suddenly become a high and mighty princess! This sudden change caught Lu Anruo off guard, and she felt panic and uneasiness.

"No... Impossible..." Lu Anruo muttered to herself, her face turning pale as paper. She couldn't accept this fact, and couldn't imagine how to face Su Yue in the future. However, reality was so cruel. Su Yue had become a princess, but she was still the ordinary Miss Lu.

Lu Anruo bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She was unwilling to lose to Su Yue, and she had to do something to change the status quo. So, she secretly made up her mind to work harder to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and improve her cultivation and temperament. Only in this way can everyone see her excellence and prove that she is more charming than Su Yue.

Su Yue didn't have the heart to think about the thoughts of a young lady in the boudoir, and Su Yue didn't like Lu Anruo. She thought she was more annoying than Cheng Yingzhi. Su Yue wanted to go back to Su Garden and sit there waiting for the guests to arrive. Unexpectedly, she saw Shen Qianxue after walking a few steps. Shen Qianxue also saw Su Yue. She hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to Princess Mingyue." Su Yue smiled and said: "No need to be polite. It's my honor that Miss Shen is here." Shen Qianxue: "I came with the Fourth Prince. Princess Mingyue didn't invite me, but I came shamelessly. Princess Mingyue doesn't mind, right?" Su Yue thought to herself, since you said that, can I really say I mind? She smiled and said: "We should get to know each other more in the future. This is the first time I hold a banquet, and I missed Miss Shen. I hope Miss Shen doesn't mind."

Su Yue secretly sighed at how thick-skinned Miss Shen was. She dared to say directly that she came to the banquet with a thick face. However, Su Yue was not angry or dissatisfied with such behavior. Instead, she found it somewhat interesting. After all, in this complex palace, it was rare to find someone who dared to be frank about their purpose and attitude. The appearance of Shen Qianxue made Su Yue curious about her.

Shen Qianxue's eyes sparkled brightly, revealing a kind of intelligence and wit. Her smile was a bit playful, making people want to know more about her story. Although she came with the Fourth Prince, from her words and deeds, she did not seem to be the kind of woman who only relied on others. On the contrary, she had her own unique personality and way of thinking.

Su Yue smiled slightly and responded: "Miss Shen, you are too polite. It is my honor to invite you to this banquet. We can communicate more in the future to enhance our understanding of each other."

Shen Qianxue smiled and nodded, indicating that she was willing to maintain a good relationship with Su Yue. She knew that establishing a friendly relationship with Princess Mingyue would be beneficial to her position and future development in the royal family. Therefore, she decided to take the initiative to approach Su Yue and show her true side.

After the two talked for a few words, they went to the banquet hall. Su Yue was deeply impressed by Shen Qianxue and looked forward to more interactions and stories between them in the future. At the same time, she also realized that there were many people in this circle, and each of them had their own unique characteristics, which needed to be carefully observed and understood.

Su Yue was about to turn around and go back to the garden when she suddenly saw a figure walking towards her. She looked closely and found that it was Prince Li! She was shocked and wondered how she could meet a man from outside the family in a place like the backyard. This was against the rules! So she turned to look at Qiu Zhu and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "What's going on?"

Qiu Zhu also looked confused and replied, "Mammy Ma arranged everything very carefully. Logically, there shouldn't be such a mistake." Just when both of them were confused, Prince Li came forward, bowed to Su Yue and said, "It was this prince who wanted to see the princess. Please don't blame the servants in your house."

Hearing this, Su Yue frowned and asked in a somewhat stiff tone: "Then why did you come to see me?"

Prince Li smiled and said gently, "I heard that the princess was interested in Lanxin Lake before, so I came here today to ask the princess if you are still interested in it now?"

Su Yue's face flashed with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure and asked calmly, "Oh? What is the prince going to do?"

Prince Li smiled and replied: "If the princess is still interested, I am willing to give Lanxin Lake to the princess." His eyes were sincere and firm, as if he really wanted to give up the lake.

Su Yue directly rejected the proposal of Prince Li, as she felt that she did not need such help. However, Prince Li was relentless and said that if the princess wanted to do business, she could consider including their Prince Li Mansion. This made Su Yue a little confused, but she still asked about the specific calculation method.

Prince Li was very humble and said that he would follow the princess's arrangements. Su Yue did not respond to this answer immediately, but proposed to go and check the situation of Lanxin Lake in person before deciding whether to cooperate.

In response, Prince Li readily agreed and said that as long as the princess sent a note, she could visit at any time. Finally, Su Yue and Prince Li agreed to discuss it after seeing it, and Prince Li agreed.
