Rebirth is not a dream.

The morning sun shone through the window onto the dining table. Su Yue sat there quietly, enjoying a sumptuous breakfast with Fu Bao, Xing Yu and Sister Bi Jun. Fu Bao, like a spoiled child, was served by Dong Qing, eating the bowl of smooth and delicious egg custard in small bites.

Ding Xiang was busy placing bowls of steaming Laba porridge on the table. The rich aroma filled the air, making people salivate. This warm scene was like a beautiful painting, and everyone was immersed in this tranquility and harmony.

Su Yue watched Fubao eating the egg custard fed by Dongqing like a kitten. Fubao ate better than in the past few days. Su Yue asked someone to raise a sheep and milk it for Fubao every day. In the past few days, Fubao's face had grown some flesh visibly, and his complexion looked much better. Su Yue felt that her hard work in the past few days was not in vain.

Su Yue gently blew away the hot air from the bowl, slowly drank the porridge in the bowl, then raised her head to look at Ding Xiang and asked softly, "Is it Laba today?"

Ding Xiang nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, today is Laba Festival. The mansion has specially cooked a lot of delicious porridge. At noon, the Marquis's wife will lead several ladies and young mistresses to the temple to distribute porridge."

After hearing this, Su Yue continued to ask thoughtfully: "Do I need to go with you?" Ding Xiang hesitated for a moment and answered uncertainly: "Maybe... I do need to go."

However, before she finished her words, Meixiang from Zhichun Court hurried in. She stepped forward quickly, bowed to Su Yue, and said respectfully, "How are you, Third Young Madam?" Su Yue quickly put down the bowl and spoon in her hand, and responded gently, "Stand up and talk, no need to be polite."

Meixiang stood up and conveyed the Marquis's order: "Madam has instructed the Third Young Lady to wait at the middle gate at noon and go to the temple with several other ladies to distribute porridge." Her tone was very respectful, as if she was conveying an important task.

Su Yue waved her hand to signal Taozi to send Meixiang out. Taozi did as she was told and sent Meixiang all the way to the door. She took this opportunity to secretly give her a beautifully embroidered purse and said softly, "Sister Meixiang, take this little gift and go have some tea."

Meixiang tried to refuse and said, "No, this is my job, how can I accept your things?"

Taozi waved her hands and said, "Sister Meixiang, please don't be polite to me. By the way, will all the masters in the backyard go to the porridge distribution this time?"

Meixiang accepted the purse and replied, "The Second Madam is ill and may not be able to go, but the other ladies should be able to go."

Taozi: "Which temple should we go to for free porridge this year?"

Meixiang: "Madam said they were going to Jingai Temple in Huairenfang. The Lu family and Subei Palace also went to Jingai Temple."

Taozi nodded to show that she understood, and then said with concern: "It's so cold in this weather, Meixiang must have worked so hard."

Meixiang smiled and replied, "Miss Taozi, you are too polite." Then she turned and left.

After Su Yue finished her meal, she returned to her room and changed her clothes. She chose a simple lake blue dress and a cape of the same color, which made her look dignified and lively.

It was almost noon, the sun was shining brightly, Su Yue came to the middle gate and waited quietly. Not long after, the Third Madam came with the Sixth Miss and the First Young Mistress, followed by the Fifth Miss and the Eighth Miss. After everyone met, they greeted each other.

The eldest young lady was dressed quite outstandingly today. She wore an apricot-colored long skirt and a bright red cape. She looked dignified, gorgeous and graceful. The fifth, sixth and eighth young ladies were all born out of wedlock, but their clothes and appearances were different. The fifth young lady wore a pink long skirt and a peach-colored cape, which gave her a sweet and lovely feeling; the sixth young lady wore a more plain and elegant dress, choosing a light yellow cape, which made her look more fresh and refined; the eighth young lady wore a scarlet cape, which added a bit of delicate and moving to her. These young and beautiful girls stood together, like a beautiful painting, and became an eye-catching and beautiful landscape.

After a while, the Marquis's wife came with the Seventh Young Lady, surrounded by her maids. The Seventh Young Lady was wearing a purple robe, which seemed to be woven from clouds in the sky, shining with a mysterious and charming light. Under the sunlight, the purple robe looked even more gorgeous and eye-catching, attracting everyone's attention. After everyone around saluted the Marquis's wife, they got on the carriage and went to Jingai Temple to distribute porridge.

The temple was already crowded with people who came to get porridge. When they saw the team from the Marquis' Mansion, they all made way for them. The Marquis's wife led everyone to the porridge distribution site and ordered people to set up tables, chairs and porridge buckets.

The porridge distribution started, and the people lined up to receive the hot porridge. Su Yue, the Sixth Miss, and the Eighth Miss helped to distribute it. With a smile on her face, she handed bowls of hot porridge to the people.

While distributing porridge, Su Yue noticed a ragged little girl. She stood alone in a corner, looking at this side with eager eyes. Su Yue's heart moved, picked up a bowl of porridge and walked to the little girl, saying gently: "Little sister, come, this bowl of porridge is for you." The little girl took the porridge timidly and whispered thank you. Su Yue touched her head and encouraged: "Drink it while it's hot."

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd. It turned out that the people from the Lu family and the Subei Palace had also arrived. Madam Lu and the Queen Mother of Subei smiled and greeted the Marquis's wife, and exchanged a few pleasantries. Afterwards, the young ladies of the two families also greeted each other. During the process of distributing porridge, Su Yue accidentally heard the servants of the Lu family and the Subei Palace talking. "I heard that this porridge distribution is not only to help the people, but also an opportunity for the ladies of each family to choose their daughters-in-law." "Really? That's really a good show." Su Yue laughed secretly in her heart. The ancients really had a lot of programs. This is much more real than the If You Are the One in the previous life.

Today is Laba Festival, many aristocratic families have come out to distribute porridge, and the women of An Ning Marquis's Mansion have come out in full force, and the wives of each family have brought their own girls here, it's so lively! This is clearly a disguised way for the wives to see each other, the temple is really lively!

Su Yue watched the Marquis' wife and several ladies of the Subei Palace chatting happily, and saw the Fifth Miss standing there shyly. The Fifth Miss was really bold. A concubine's daughter wanted to enter the palace, either as a concubine or marry a concubine's son. Although it cannot be said that concubines are bad, in this era of distinction between legitimate and concubines, concubines are always inferior, and concubines have no status at all. The An Ning Marquis should not let the girls in his house become concubines, but the Fifth Miss is the concubine's daughter of the second room, and the Marquis' wife may not care about her.

Su Yue looked at the Sixth and Eighth Young Ladies who were following her to distribute porridge, and felt that these two young ladies were more scheming than the Fifth Young Ladies. Of course, it was also possible that they were kind-hearted by nature. Su Yue glanced outside unintentionally, and she saw a young man in black clothes not far away looking at them. It was far away and Su Yue couldn't see clearly, but she felt as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she didn't expect that young man to walk towards her. When Su Yue was about to walk into the porridge shed of the An Ning Marquis's Mansion, the young man had already walked over and saluted to her, "My lady, long time no see."

Su Yue took a closer look and realized that this elegant young man was the one she had saved in Baiyun Temple. So she quickly returned the greeting and said with a smile, "What a coincidence! Are you feeling better now?" The young man smiled and replied, "Thanks to you, I am feeling better now. Thank you for saving my life." Su Yue then remembered that she had asked him to write an IOU for 200 taels of silver, so she asked, "Did you bring 200 taels of silver?"

Upon hearing this, the attendant beside the young master shouted angrily: "How dare you! Don't be rude." Su Yue raised her eyebrows and thought to herself that it seemed that this young master was of high status. However, what does this have to do with her? She just said confidently: "Isn't it natural for a doctor to charge for medical treatment? Young master, am I right? I treat injuries and you pay. Isn't this fair?" The attendant snorted coldly and questioned: "What's the consultation fee of two hundred taels?" Su Yue raised the corner of her mouth slightly and asked back: "Isn't this young master's life worth two hundred taels?"

Servant: "Of course not. But you can't ask for an exorbitant price."

The noise here alarmed the Marquis's wife, Princess Shen, the wife of the prince of Subei Palace, and Madam Lu, and they all walked towards Su Yue. When they saw the young master in black clothes, they all bowed and said, "Your servants greet the Fourth Prince."

Su Yue stared at the young man in black clothes in a daze, thinking to herself, this casual rescue actually saved a prince, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. She really doesn't want to have anything to do with the royal family. She will ask Taozi where the jade pendant used as collateral is, and return it to the fourth prince as soon as possible to avoid any rumors.

Su Yue also hurried forward and bowed, saying, "I greet the Fourth Prince."

The Fourth Prince: "No need to be polite, ladies."

The wife of Marquis An Ning stepped forward and said, "Fourth Prince, has my third daughter-in-law been disrespectful in any way?"

The Fourth Prince: "This lady is actually the Third Daughter-in-law of the Marquis of An Ning. Madam An Ning, please don't misunderstand. It was your daughter-in-law who saved my life in Baiyun Temple. I came here to thank the Third Young Madam for saving my life. It is not convenient today, so I will come to thank you another day. I will take my leave now."

Everyone bowed again and said, "Farewell, Your Highness."

Several ladies also said to the wife of Marquis An Ning: "Madam Qin is so lucky. Your daughter-in-law is also a lucky star."

Su Yue was complaining in her heart. She just wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to get involved in the palace disputes. After the fourth prince left, the Marquis's wife said to the ladies with a smile on her face: "My daughter-in-law has a kind heart."

Madam Hou said to Su Yue with a smile on her face: “Why didn’t you tell me such a big thing?”

Su Yue: "I didn't expect that I saved the Fourth Prince. Besides, there were monks in the temple. I just found an injured man and asked the monks to come. It doesn't count as me saving him."

Su Yue didn't want people to think that she was the only one who saved the Fourth Prince. How could a weak woman like her save him? It was mainly the monks in the temple. Su Yue didn't want rumors to spread all over the place tomorrow. She didn't know what kind of rumors would spread by then. It was better to downplay herself.

If Su Yue had known this would happen, she would have pretended to be sick and not come to distribute porridge. She didn't want to be involved in the struggle for imperial power. As a married woman, she shouldn't have such troubles.
