Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Xiaowan smiled and said, "I think this monkey is like a mirror deep inside each of us. It represents our desires, impulses and free will. Sometimes, we are controlled by these emotions and lose ourselves. But if we can learn to control our mood like the protagonist in your story, maybe we can better face the challenges in life."

Yunxi looked at Xiaowan in surprise. She didn't expect that a simple story could give her such a profound insight. She nodded sincerely and said, "Xiaowan, you said it very well! This story was just to entertain you, but I didn't expect you to understand such a truth from it. It seems that you are really a thoughtful person."

The prince also echoed, "Yes, Aunt Wan is really amazing! I also want to learn from you and think more deeply about some issues in the future."

The three of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became particularly harmonious. At this moment, they not only shared a wonderful story, but also gained deeper inspiration and gains through mutual communication and thinking.

Before he knew it, the sun was setting and night was falling. It was dinner time. A group of palace maids and eunuchs came in like fish, each holding a delicate dish carefully. After they had placed the delicacies gently, the prince waved his hand to signal them to leave.

The prince turned around and smiled at Yunxi, saying, "Mrs. Yang, the story you told me today was so wonderful that I was fascinated and had endless aftertastes. Therefore, I decided to reward you by having dinner with me."

When Yang Yunxi heard this, she felt a warm current in her heart, but she knew that there were many eyes and ears in the palace, and this action was really against the palace rules. So she quickly refused and said, "Your Highness, you must not do this! The palace has strict rules. I am only responsible for teaching your Highness, how can I eat with you at the same table? I am very grateful for your kindness!"

In the distant Tang Dynasty, the hierarchy was strict and harsh, and everyone had to strictly abide by the rules. Yang Yunxi understood her status and position, and did not dare to overstep the boundaries. However, the prince's care and appreciation made her feel warm and grateful. Although she could not accept this special gift, she still expressed her sincerest gratitude to the prince.

At the same time, Yunxi felt a surge of sadness in her heart. The prince in front of her was her own flesh and blood after ten months of pregnancy and hardships! However, fate played tricks on them, and there was an unbridgeable gap in status between them. Although she was with the child every day, she could not even eat at the same table with him...

Yang Fumu, this is specially allowed by the palace." The prince said sincerely, "There is no one else here, just sit down and eat with me."

After hearing this, Yang Fumu was deeply moved, but still a little hesitant. She knew her identity and status, and it was inappropriate to dine at the same table with the prince.

At this moment, Xiaowan, who was serving beside her, was also deeply moved and whispered to Yunxi, "Sister Yunxi, His Royal Highness is so sincere, you should not let him down, please take a seat quickly. Don't worry, I will go out and guard the door for you."

Xiaowan's words touched Yunxi's heart. She looked at the prince, then at Xiaowan, and finally nodded, and slowly sat down opposite the prince.

When the prince saw Yunxi sitting down, he smiled with satisfaction. He personally picked up some food for Yunxi, asked her what she liked to eat, and chatted with her from time to time. Yunxi looked at the prince in front of her, and her heart was filled with relief and joy.

She couldn't help but think of all the hardships and setbacks she had experienced, but now, seeing the prince growing up so healthily, well-educated and well-mannered, she felt that all her efforts and dedication were worth it.

At this moment, Yunxi truly experienced the joy of a mother. She felt the prince's care and love for her, and a warm power surged deep in her heart. However, although Yunxi enjoyed this happy moment of motherly love and filial piety, she also knew that everything needed to be done in moderation and she should not indulge in it too much.

Therefore, Yunxi did not focus all her attention on the food. She just tasted a few bites lightly and then stood up.

"Your Highness, I'm full. Thank you for your hospitality." Yunxi said with a smile.

"In that case, then Fu Mu Yang should go back and rest early." The prince also stood up, "I will read for a while after dinner."

"Okay, then Your Highness, please don't overwork yourself. I'll take my leave first." Yunxi bowed, turned around and left the palace.

Xiao Wan saw Yunxi coming out and hurried to greet him, "How was it, how did it feel to have dinner with the prince?"

Yunxi smiled and said, "It's good. The prince is very sensible and filial."

Xiao Wan nodded, "That's good, but don't worry too much. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good to you, he will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."

Yunxi sighed, "I hope so. I just hope that the prince can grow up safely and healthily. Nothing else matters." Xiaowan, please go in and serve him dinner. After all, he is still a child of moderate age, and there is a hint of pampering in her tone.

After saying that, Yunxi returned to her residence. She knew that in this deep palace, there were too many things that she could not control. All she could do was to teach the prince well and make him an outstanding person.

Yunxi returned to her residence, and her mood could not calm down for a long time. She sat in front of the window, staring at the bright moon outside the window, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

The prince's growth made her happy and full of expectations for the future. However, she also knew clearly that life in the palace was full of uncertainties and dangers. She secretly made up her mind to teach the prince more attentively so that he would have enough wisdom and ability to cope with future challenges.

At the same time, Xiaowan carefully served the prince after his dinner in the palace.

After dinner, Xiaowan reported to the prince about Yunxi's concern for him and suggested: "Your Highness, Fu Mu Yang cares about you very much. Should you find an opportunity to express your gratitude?" The prince nodded thoughtfully.

Xiaowan looked at the prince who had put down his chopsticks, and immediately went outside to call the palace maids and eunuchs in to clean up the dishes.

At this time, the prince had already sat down at the desk.

She looked at the prince's focused expression on reading, and couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in her heart. She deeply admired the prince's diligence and love of learning, and she silently vowed to do her best to help Yunxi teach the prince and make him a pillar of the country.
