Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue looked at the Sixth Princess with a hint of provocation and confidence in her eyes. Her voice was clear and firm: "Am I guilty?"

The Sixth Princess was speechless for a moment by Su Yue's question, not knowing how to answer. She widened her eyes and clenched her teeth tightly, anger and jealousy intertwined, and her heart was filled with hatred for Su Yue. She didn't expect Su Yue to play by the rules so unconventionally and dare to openly challenge her authority.

Su Yue's eyes swept over the Sixth Princess, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile. She didn't seem to care whether her reputation was damaged or not, but faced everything around her with a free and unrestrained attitude.

The Sixth Princess couldn't help but secretly gnashed her teeth, wondering how Su Yue could be so bold and totally disregard other people's opinions. She secretly swore in her heart that she must find a chance to embarrass Su Yue and let her know how powerful she was.

However, Su Yue did not give the Sixth Princess too much time to think. She smiled lightly and continued, "Is it possible that someone like you could be worthy of Qin Yi?"

This sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing the Sixth Princess' heart. Her face turned pale instantly, her lips trembled slightly, but she could not utter a word to refute.

Su Yue's words were like a loud slap in the face, catching the Sixth Princess off guard. She originally thought she could humiliate Su Yue with words, but she didn't expect that she was outwitted by the other party. At this moment, she could only watch Su Yue sitting there triumphantly, her heart filled with helplessness and anger.

Su Yue stood up, her figure as straight as a pine tree. She looked around, and everyone held their breath, watching the confrontation quietly. Then, she fixed her gaze on the Sixth Princess, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

"Qin Yi and I are in love with each other. How can a narrow-minded person like you understand that?" Su Yue's voice was not loud, but every word was heart-wrenching.

The Sixth Princess was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Su Yue and shouted angrily: "You! How dare you talk to me like that!"

Su Yue smiled and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I am just telling the truth. If the princess likes to perform, she can do it herself. Why bother me?"

The Sixth Princess looked at Su Yue holding Qin Yi's arm with a smug look on her face, and she was immediately furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "Su Yue, you shameless woman, you occupy Qin Yi and do nothing all day long. You are not worthy of him at all!" As she spoke, she glared at Su Yue viciously.

The queen's heart tightened when she heard the Sixth Princess' words, but she remained calm on the surface. She frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "Sixth Princess, I understand your concern for Qin Yi, but this marriage was personally granted by His Majesty, and it is a foregone conclusion. I hope you can respect the Emperor's will, and please take care of yourself." After saying that, her eyes fell on Su Yue, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

After hearing what the queen said, Su Yue raised her lips slightly, revealing a mocking smile. She thought to herself that the master of the harem was really busy all day, but she still had the leisure to take care of her own affairs. It seemed that either there was something about her that was worth their attention, or there was a secret in this matter. Thinking of this, Su Yue decided to investigate it carefully to see what kind of mystery was hidden in it.

Su Yue just doesn't want to perform, what can you do with her? She doesn't care about An Ning Marquis Mansion and Qin Yi! And she has always believed that Qin Yi will get everything he wants through his own efforts, and he doesn't need to rely on others at all. As for whether her reputation will affect Qin Yi, she doesn't care at all.

The Sixth Princess wanted to lose her temper, but seeing the Queen's sharp eyes, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, and could only stare at Su Yue angrily. But Su Yue acted like nothing happened and ignored them completely.

This made the Sixth Princess even more angry. She felt that Su Yue was too arrogant and dared to ignore her. But she could do nothing about it. After all, this was the palace, not a place where she could act wildly. In the end, she could only stare at Su Yue fiercely, and secretly vowed in her heart that she must find a chance to retaliate against her.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the Queen suggested that everyone go for a walk in the garden to appreciate the plum blossoms.

Su Yue followed the crowd to the garden and saw Xie Wanru from afar. She was surrounded by several noble ladies who were chattering.

Su Yue approached them and heard someone asking Xie Wanru: "Wan'er, the song you played today was really beautiful. Which master did you learn it from?"

Xie Wanru smiled and replied: "My mother taught me."

"Wow, your mother must be a talented woman." said another lady.

Xie Wanru smiled modestly and said nothing.

The Sixth Princess sneered and interrupted, "They are just some songs that are not worthy of being played on stage. Only people like you who have never seen the world would find them good to listen to."

Xie Wanru's expression suddenly turned ugly. She glared at the Sixth Princess and said through gritted teeth, "Yuan Huan, don't go too far!"

"I'm going too far?" Yuan Huan replied unwillingly, "You think you can seduce Qin Yi with just a piece of music? You're just dreaming!"

"You..." Xie Wanru was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, the noble ladies around began to whisper. Some accused the Sixth Princess of being too rude, while others thought she was jealous of Xie Wanru.

Su Yue originally wanted to make friends with Xie Wanru, but she didn't expect to encounter such a piece of news. Qin Yi had so many bad peach blossoms that he couldn't get rid of them all.

Seeing this, Su Yue's lips curled up into a smile of watching a play. She crossed her arms and said slowly, "So this is the style of the Sixth Princess. I have learned a lot today."

When the Sixth Princess heard this, her face flushed with anger. She turned around and glared at Su Yue: "Stop being so sarcastic here! This princess acts uprightly, and it's not your turn to point fingers at me!"

Su Yue chuckled, as if she didn't hear the Sixth Princess's scolding, and continued: "Miss Xie, don't take her words to heart. Some people just can't stand to see others do well." After saying that, she even glanced at the Sixth Princess on purpose.

Xie Wanru looked at Su Yue gratefully and nodded gently, indicating that she understood. She knew that at this time, Su Yue's support was very important to her.

At this time, a cold wind blew, making the branches rustle. The plum blossoms on the branches were also blown down by the wind, fluttering to the ground. Su Yue reached out, caught a petal, and gently stroked its texture.

She looked at the petals in her hand and said slowly, "Flowers bloom and fall at their own time, so why force it?" This sentence was said to Xie Wanru as well as to herself. Life is like this flower, there is a time to bloom and a time to wither, everything should be left to nature.

The two came to a secluded pavilion and sat opposite each other.

"Princess Mingyue, I have heard of your great name for a long time. After meeting you today, I find that your reputation is well-deserved." Xie Wanru spoke first.

"Thank you for your compliment, Miss. I'm just an ordinary businessman. I guess my name isn't a good one either." Su Yue said lightly.

"Princess, why should you be so modest? I don't have any improper thoughts about Qin Yi. I really admire his talent." Xie Wanru said sincerely.

Su Yue looked at the woman in front of her, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and she secretly sighed in her heart: "This Miss Xie Wanru is really an interesting person!" She smiled and responded: "Miss Xie is too polite, we can just learn from each other."

As time went by, their communication became more natural and harmonious. They talked about everything from ancient times to the present day, and the trivialities of life. Before they knew it, the sun was setting, the sky was getting darker, and the plum blossom viewing banquet was about to end.

However, although the banquet was about to end, Su Yue and Xie Wanru were still reluctant to leave, as if they still had endless things to say. When their eyes met, they could see the twinkling light in each other's eyes, which was the appreciation and recognition of each other's talents.

Finally, the plum blossom viewing banquet ended successfully amidst the laughter and joy of the crowd. Su Yue and Xie Wanru said goodbye to each other and agreed to meet again next time. They look forward to more opportunities to communicate and share their insights in the future.
