Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Nanny Qin took the box and handed it to Meng Tingyue. She saw Meng Tingyue take out a booklet from the box. She was slightly stunned when she saw the booklet.

There was no words on the cover of the booklet. Nanny Qin felt it was familiar for some reason, but she couldn't remember where it was.

Meng Tingyue lowered her eyes slightly, and stroked the yellowed book cover gently and carefully, as if she was treating a rare treasure in the world.

The booklet seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight in her hands. After Nanny Qin quietly moved the fruit plate away, she slowly placed it on the small table.

His fingertips trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered up the courage to reach out and open the cover of the book.

What catches the eye are lines of beautiful small characters, with gentleness and joy revealed between the lines.

Meng Tingyue just quickly glanced at the first line, and she felt her eyes involuntarily warm up.

"In the twelfth month of the tenth year of the Qingyuan reign, my beloved daughter was born. Just outside the window, winter plum blossoms were in full bloom, snow was falling, the moon was bright in the sky, and the stars were welcoming..."

"This handwriting looks like Madam's." Nanny Qin also recognized the writing on the paper. "Could this be the booklet Madam used to record the Crown Princess' daily life?"

"In the eleventh year of the Qingyuan era, in the first month, the Tingyue, the Mengtingyue, the bright moon is beautiful, graceful and elegant."

"In January of the same year, at the full moon banquet, my daughter grabbed a silver lock. Daddy said that my daughter was just like me when I was little, and that she would definitely be a good candidate for business in the future..."

Nanny Qin listened to Meng Tingyue's narration, as if being pulled by an invisible force and returning to the past, with a thousand emotions in her heart: "At that time, Madam seemed to plan to let the Crown Princess study business and literature like her in the future, but who knew..."

Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable. Xiao Changle passed away early, and Meng Tingyue was trapped in the boudoir due to her frail health, accompanied by medicine, and had no chance to do business.

Nanny Qin's weathered eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, faintly flashing with tears, but also with a hint of imperceptible relief.

"Fortunately, the young lady has now become the Crown Princess, escaped from the clutches of the Meng family, and is gradually recovering."

Meng Tingyue's eyes were moist, and she let the tears slide down, her gaze stubbornly refusing to move away from the booklet until her vision was blurred with tears and the words became indistinct.

Nanny Qin was anxious upon seeing this, and she quickly and softly consoled her, "Crown Princess, you haven't fully recovered yet, so please don't cry anymore. If you cry and damage your eyes, Madam will be heartbroken. This booklet won't fly away, and we'll have plenty of time to read it later."

Upon hearing this, Meng Tingyue nodded randomly and closed the booklet with slightly trembling hands.

She had read it before. Her mother had written most of the book, and she really couldn't finish it in one go.

Many things have not been investigated clearly, and her body cannot collapse. If she dies, she must die after the Meng family and King Qing.

After Nanny Qin took the booklet away, she was still wiping the tears from her face with a handkerchief.

When Qinglan and Qingdian came back, they were shocked to see that her eyes were red and swollen like a rabbit.

"Did someone bully the girl?" Qing Lan was so anxious that she even called the wrong name. "Who is it? I'll go and avenge the girl."

Meng Tingyue pulled the man back and said, "Who dares to bully me in this mansion? I can bully others, but I just recalled something sad. I'm fine. How was your investigation?"

"Doctor Guo did not escape from Renxin Hall."

"There's no news from Jinweilou either. We've already sent someone to the shop to ask."

The two answered in succession.

Meng Tingyue nodded slightly, "Keep watching, and notify me if you have any news."

Before Meng Tingyue received any message from Jinweilou, she didn't expect that the Queen's summons would arrive first.

Shen Yunheng frowned, his gaze deeply fixed on Meng Tingyue's eyes, which were still tear-stained and slightly red and swollen, and he was speechless for a moment.

Meng Tingyue herself was caught off guard. Just as she wiped away her tears, she heard that Shen Yunheng had brought the Queen's summons.

"If you haven't recovered yet, I will send someone to the palace to explain to my mother and I will come to the palace to pay my respects another day."

As soon as Shen Yunheng finished explaining his reason, Meng Tingyue quickly waved her hands and responded eagerly, "No, no, I'm fine. Please wait a moment, my husband, so I can change my clothes and wash up."

Shen Yunheng nodded and walked out of the house, "I'll wait for you in the front hall."

Meng Tingyue raised her hand and rubbed her face, with an unshakable determination in her eyes, "Qinglan Qingdian, help me change my clothes and put on my makeup."

She was unable to enter the palace to pay homage to the Emperor and Empress last time. Now that such a long time has passed, the Empress has summoned her personally. If she doesn't go again, it would be very ungrateful.

The Queen didn't like her in the first place. If she got angry and said bad things about her to the Prince behind his back, all the good image she had worked so hard to create in the Prince's heart would be wasted.

After dressing up, Meng Tingyue came to the front hall like a fairy.

Shen Yunheng's gaze swept over her lightly, then he turned around and strode out of the mansion gate with big strides.

Meng Tingyue had become accustomed to his calm attitude towards her carefully dressed up, so she raised her lips and chest out as he followed her out.

You stinky wood, why are you walking so fast!

Meng Tingyue walked out of the mansion's gate, and Shen Yunheng's figure also disappeared. Only an elegantly decorated carriage was waiting outside the door, and Ling Xiao was waiting respectfully on the side.

She lifted her skirt slightly and slowly stepped into the carriage. Seeing Shen Yunheng resting with his eyes closed, she also tried to move as quietly as possible and sat down quietly.

The orange-red sunset spread out like a brocade, occasionally casting mottled light and shadows through the gently swaying car curtains.

For Meng Tingyue, this was the first time she met the emperor and empress in her life, so she couldn't help feeling nervous.

She exhaled lightly, trying to calm her inner turmoil, her eyes firm, like a warrior about to go to the battlefield, nervous yet determined.

"The Queen Mother won't eat you, why are you so nervous?"

Meng Tingyue glanced sideways when she heard the voice and found that Shen Yunheng had opened his eyes without her knowing and was staring at her quietly.

The light inside the carriage was soft and dim, making it impossible for her to see the emotions in Shen Yunheng's eyes.

"I am just a commoner, and I have a yearning for and respect for the imperial palace. It is natural that I feel uneasy and nervous when entering the palace for the first time."

After hearing this, Shen Yunheng slowly closed his eyes again without responding or commenting on Meng Tingyue's words.

According to common sense, the prince's carriage cannot easily enter the palace.

Today, when the armored guards outside the palace gate saw the logo on the carriage frame, they immediately stepped aside in unison to allow the carriage from the Prince's Mansion to enter smoothly.

The carriage was driving in the empty palace. The surroundings were immersed in silence and only the shallow breathing of each other could be heard.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, please step out of the carriage."

A shrill voice broke the silence.

Shen Yunheng jumped off the carriage lightly, then turned around and reached out to help Meng Tingyue down.

The two walked side by side for a while before finally stepping into the magnificent palace.

Inside the hall, two people who symbolized the pinnacle of power in the Great Zhou sat upright. Their figures appeared particularly majestic and benevolent under the bright yellow candlelight.

"Your son Shen Yunheng, together with the Crown Princess Meng Tingyue, would like to pay a visit to the Emperor, Father, and the Empress." Meng Tingyue followed Shen Yunheng's movements and slowly knelt down to salute.
