Rebirth and Rewriting Fate

The atmosphere in the Prince's mansion also began to become cheerful and bright, because Yun Chu was getting better day by day, and because the Prince's mansion was going to hold a happy event, which added a lot of joy and liveliness to the entire mansion.

The servants and young attendants all beamed with joy, their busy figures revealing happiness and anticipation. The usually strict and orderly Prince's mansion was now exceptionally warm and harmonious because of the upcoming happy event.

The usually calm and composed Chengbo has been beaming with joy these past few days, sharing the happiness of the Prince's Mansion with everyone he meets, his heartfelt joy infecting every corner of the mansion.

Yun Chu had been resting in bed for more than half a month, and her mood gradually became somewhat irritable. One day, she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to get out of bed and go out to see what was going on.

The moment my feet touched the ground, I heard a startled cry, "What are you doing?" The voice was anxious and slightly reproachful.

She looked up abruptly and saw him standing in the doorway, looking at her with a worried expression, his eyes filled with both reproach and heartache. She realized that her rash behavior might have worried him.

Yun Chu pouted as she looked at the person who came in, "I... I just wanted to go out for a walk."

"You're not ready yet." Gu Ruoxiao frowned slightly upon hearing this and tried to dissuade him.

“I’ve been in bed for so long.” Yun Chu pouted.

"Then I'll carry you out." Gu Ruoxiao said helplessly, bending down.

Yun Chu turned to the side and gently pushed him away, saying firmly, "I want to walk by myself."

Looking at her stubborn expression, Gu Ruoxiao sighed, squatted down, picked up the shoes next to the footstool, and put them on her.

Seeing this, Yun Chu shyly dodged away, saying, "I can do it myself."

"Don't move." Gu Ruoxiao lowered her head and stopped Yun Chu from moving.

Yun Chu obediently remained still, letting the other person gently put her shoes on.

Yun Chu stared at Gu Ruoxiao in front of her, lost in thought, and blurted out, "Ruoxiao, I think you will be a good father in the future."

Gu Ruoxiao looked up at her and smiled, "Don't worry, even if you have a child, you'll still be the most important person to me."

Yun Chu blushed with embarrassment.

Gu Ruoxiao held Yun Chu's hand and stood in the courtyard. It was already October, and the osmanthus flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom, their fragrance rich and refreshing.

Yun Chu took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and felt the sensation.

Gu Ruoxiao wrapped his arms around her from behind and asked with a smile, "You like osmanthus?"

"Mmm. It smells very good." Yun Chu nodded. "It has neither the fresh and elegant qualities of plum or willow, but a pungent and annoying fragrance. I know it is planted in heaven, regardless of the coldness of the moon palace."

On the third day, just as Yun Chu finished her lunch and was about to take a short rest, Gu Ruoxiao returned.

"Why are you up so early today? Have you eaten yet?" Yun Chu couldn't help but ask.

"I've already eaten. I dined with His Majesty in the palace and then returned. I took leave this afternoon," Gu Ruoxiao said with a smile.

"Oh? Is something urgent? Then hurry up and go, don't waste my time." Yun Chu thought that since you came back in such a hurry, you must have something important to do.

"I'll take you somewhere this afternoon." Gu Ruoxiao affectionately pinched Yun Chu's nose.

"Huh? I can go out now?" Yun Chu stared in disbelief. Although she had wanted to go out these past few days, the wedding was approaching, and she didn't want to cause any trouble or worry Gu Ruoxiao, so her activities were limited to this courtyard. Now she could actually go out.

A smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

"Yes. I went to see my uncle. He said there's nothing seriously wrong, and that going out and exercising will help your recovery," Gu Ruoxiao said with a smile.

He glanced at Yun Chu, who was sitting on the bed in her undergarments, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to sleep for a while first?"

"No, no, it's more important to get out of bed." Yun Chu quickly got out of bed. "Nan Rao, quick, help me change my clothes."

Soon, Yun Chu was ready, and Gu Ruoxiao was waiting for her in the courtyard.

As soon as Yun Chu stepped out the door, she saw Gu Ruoxiao standing under a tree with his back to her. This man was truly handsome, and now he was hers. Yun Chu's heart was filled with sweetness.

"Where are we going?" Yun Chu, sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out. The streets outside were familiar, but she couldn't tell which direction they were going.

Gu Ruoxiao didn't answer, but smiled mysteriously at Yun Chu.

Half an hour later, Chiwu outside called out, "Master, we've arrived."

Gu Ruoxiao helped Yun Chu down from the carriage.

This seems to be a royal horse farm. Not far away, Ta Xue and Chu Xue are leisurely grazing with their heads down. When they see their owner arrive, they let out a soft neigh as a greeting, just like their former owners who were indifferent to people.

"Are we going to ride horses today?" Yun Chu couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, your body isn't ready for strenuous exercise like horseback riding," Gu Ruoxiao said.

"What are you going to do?" Yun Chu asked, even more curious.

"Master, it's ready." Ji Bai was running over from not far away, followed by a group of people, each carrying a huge object.

"A giant Kongming lantern?! You fixed it?" Yun Chu's eyes lit up instantly, revealing an irrepressible joy mixed with surprise and emotion.

"The repairs are done. Would you like to go up and take a look?" Gu Ruoxiao invited with a smile.

"Mmm!" Yun Chu nodded emphatically.

Gu Ruoxiao led Yun Chu into the giant Kongming lantern.

"Your Highness, is Miss Yun Chu ready? If she is, I'll prepare to light the fire."

Yun Chu nodded, and Gu Ruoxiao said, "Let's light the fire."

It was Yun Chu's first time riding a giant Kongming lantern, and she was still a little nervous, unlike the last time. She clung tightly to the basket.

Seeing this, Ji Bai reassured her, "Miss Yun Chu, don't worry, it's very safe. We've tested it hundreds of times."

Gu Ruoxiao glanced at the person beside him, then walked behind Yun Chu, put his arm around her, and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Mm." Yun Chu nodded gently.

The giant Kongming lantern slowly rose, a warm and gentle force lifting the entire basket as it slowly ascended, a feeling that was both novel and breathtaking.

The world beneath my feet began to shrink, from familiar street scenes to vast fields, and then to distant mountain ranges; everything became tiny, yet so clear.

In the field of vision, the colors became exceptionally vivid, with the verdant fields and golden sunlight intertwining to create a magnificent picture that was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her body swayed gently with the Kongming lantern, but she felt unusually stable because of Gu Ruoxiao's support behind her.

“Look there!” Gu Ruoxiao pointed.

“That’s the imperial city,” Yun Chu replied.

"And there, there."

“It’s the Prince’s Mansion, and also Shili Pu and Qingfeng Courtyard,” Yun Chu said happily.

A gentle breeze blew, bringing a sense of boundless comfort. Yun Chu leaned softly against Gu Ruoxiao, as if the whole world had softened and warmed in that moment. All of this filled her with immense happiness and contentment. She wished time could just stay like this forever, without worries or anxieties, only their companionship and warmth.
