Rebirth and Rewriting Fate

During her postpartum confinement, Yun Chu lived a life of being waited on hand and foot, just as Gu Ruoxiao had taken care of her when she was recovering from a serious injury. However, she always felt that he seemed to have some different emotions, especially when the wet nurse brought in the two children.

Later, Yun Chu thought about it and wondered if this man would even be jealous of his own child. Yun Chu asked him, but Gu Ruoxiao denied it outright, though his ears turned red. Yun Chu could only feel helpless and amused. After all, there was no way to resolve this. However, even with the child, Yun Chu could see that she was still Gu Ruoxiao's number one priority, but she didn't want to consider the question of whether her child or Gu Ruoxiao was more important to her.

The two children are quite well-behaved and don't cause any trouble. They often blink their big, round eyes and look at the world with curiosity.

Yun Chu sometimes thinks that she is so lucky to have met Gu Ruoxiao. This life is really different from the last life. It's so good.

One day after Yun Chu finished her confinement period, Chi Wu and Cheng Feng knelt down in front of her.

"Your subordinate, Chiwu, requests to marry Nanrao. I beg Your Highness to grant my request."

"Your subordinate, Chengfeng, wishes to marry Zhuling. I humbly request Your Highness's permission."

Yun Chu was taken aback upon hearing this and turned to look at Gu Ruoxiao beside her. She had been considering the marriage between Nan Rao and Zhu Ling, but because of childbirth, she had planned to confirm with them again after giving birth and then have Gu Ruoxiao sound them out. Unexpectedly, the parties involved came to her directly.

“They came to me early this morning to ask for my hand in marriage. I told them, ‘They are yours, and you must give your permission.’” Gu Ruoxiao explained.

Yun Chu pondered for a moment before speaking, "Nan Rao and Zhu Ling are not my maids, nor are they slaves; they are free women. Therefore, their marriages are not something I can decide unilaterally."

“That’s perfect, Chiwu and Chengfeng aren’t slaves either; they hold positions in the Black Rider Camp,” Gu Ruoxiao chimed in.

"Whether I grant your marriage proposal is not important; what matters is their feelings. If they are willing, I will not stop them. But if they are not willing, you cannot force them," Yun Chu said sternly, employing a strategy of politeness before resorting to force.

Chengfeng and Chiwu exchanged a glance and said in unison, "I asked, and Nanrao agreed." "I asked too, and Zhuling agreed as well."

Yun Chu laughed upon hearing this. Gu Ruoxiao's people indeed knew how to respect the young lady when it came to marriage.

"Then go and call them both in," Yun Chu instructed.

Soon after, the four of them knelt before Yun Chu and Gu Ruoxiao again. Yun Chu told them to get up, but they refused.

"I want to hear from you two, are you really willing?" Yun Chu looked at Nan Rao and Zhu Ling.

"Yes, Miss, we are willing." Hearing them call her Miss, Yun Chu knew they were truly willing.

"Alright, I have no problem with these two marriages, but let me make this clear: if you treat them badly, I will never let you off the hook," Yun Chu said sternly.

"Don't worry, if they have any problems, I will be the first to not let them off the hook," Gu Ruoxiao said.

"Alright, get up quickly, we can start preparing for the wedding." Yun Chu reached out to help Zhu Ling and Nan Rao up.

The four of them exchanged glances, and Chengfeng spoke up, "Your Highness, Your Highness, we've decided to get engaged first, and then get married a year later."

"Why?" Yun Chu asked in surprise. Why did they all want to get engaged first and then get married a year later? She looked at Gu Ruoxiao, who also looked puzzled.

The four of them kept their heads down and remained silent.

"Say something?" Yun Chu was even more puzzled.

“Nanrao doesn’t want to leave the Queen,” Chiwu explained.

"Zhu Ling is the same. They want to take better care of the Princess, the young prince, and the young princess," Cheng Feng explained.

Yun Chuyi understood. After their marriage, they would inevitably have to leave the palace to live with their husbands. Chengfeng and Chiwu, being men with the rank of Black Rider, would naturally continue to protect Gu Ruoxiao. However, Nanrao and Zhuling were different. After getting married, they would have to stay at home. Even if Yun Chuyi wanted them to continue taking care of her, it would be very troublesome for them to come and go during the day and return at night. In this way, they would leave the palace and could no longer stay by her side.

To be honest, she was quite reluctant to part with them. Besides, the two girls, especially Zhu Ling, that little crybaby, had red eyes and kept her head down, not daring to look up and let anyone see.

Yun Chu glanced at Gu Ruoxiao, who understood and smiled as she said, "This is easy. Chiwu and Chengfeng have grown up with me since they were little. Now that they are getting married, I will bestow Tinglan Courtyard and Mosong Pavilion in the palace upon you as your wedding home. If you plan to move out of the palace in the future, I will provide you with a house."

Upon hearing about Tinglan Courtyard and Mosong Pavilion, Nanrao and Zhuling's eyes lit up. They knew that these two courtyards not only held a special position in the Prince's Mansion and had beautiful scenery, but more importantly, they were not far from Jingxuan Courtyard. This meant that even after their marriage, they could continue to stay by their mistress's side day and night. This thoughtful arrangement filled them with joy, and their gratitude was beyond words.

The four people quickly bowed and thanked her profusely, their words filled with sincerity and emotion. Yun Chu also felt a warm current welling up in her heart. She was genuinely happy to see the people around her find happiness and continue to live in her familiar surroundings; this warmth and beauty was truly precious.

"Alright, alright. Go and get ready, go discuss an auspicious day with Uncle Cheng, and get the wedding done." Yun Chu instructed with a smile, gently helping Nan Rao and Zhu Ling up. "I'm going to organize a grand wedding for you two, so everyone will envy your happiness." As she spoke, she gently patted the backs of their hands, her eyes filled with blessings and anticipation.

Two months later, the Prince's mansion was enveloped in a sea of ​​joy. Two grand weddings were held simultaneously, decorating the entire mansion with extraordinary liveliness, and laughter filled the air. Every corner of the mansion was draped in red silk and colorful ribbons, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and a festive atmosphere.

Yun Chu prepared substantial dowries for both of them, wanting to give them a proper welcome.

The climax of the wedding was undoubtedly the toasting ceremony between the two newlywed couples and the prince, princess, and everyone in the palace. Yun Chu and Gu Ruoxiao, dressed in magnificent robes, sat regally in their high seats, their faces beaming with joy. They accepted the toasts from each of the newlyweds, offering their sincerest blessings. The palace servants, unusually, set aside their work and gathered together to enjoy this precious moment of joy; the entire palace was filled with happiness.

Neither of the two newlywed couples are on duty today, but with Mo Han and Sui Bo guarding outside Jingxuan Courtyard, there's nothing to worry about.

After the banquet ended, Yun Chu stood at the entrance of Jingxuan Courtyard, looking at Tinglan Courtyard and Mosong Pavilion in the distance. They were decorated with red silk, adorned with the character for "double happiness," and adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations, exuding a joyous atmosphere. She couldn't help but smile. The guilt that had been hidden deep in her heart for so long finally eased, and her expression showed some relief.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that Yun Chu was a little down, Gu Ruoxiao wrapped her arms around her slender waist and hugged her. It has to be said that even after giving birth, Yun Chu had recovered just like before, and Gu Ruoxiao was even a little tempted when he held her. But that's not the point right now.

"It's nothing, I'm just happy for them," Yun Chu said softly.

"Yun Chu." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.

Yun Chu smiled. She knew Gu Ruoxiao was unhappy with her answer because she hadn't told the truth.

She leaned back into Gu Ruoxiao's arms and said calmly, "I just feel that they can finally find happiness in this life, instead of because I died a violent death."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruoxiao felt a pang of sorrow. He knew these two maids were very important to Yun Chu. Although he hadn't interacted much with her in his previous life, Gu Chenglin had even had a major argument with him because of her. Despite the argument, as her uncle, he still felt obligated to investigate her background. He learned that her two closest maids had died tragically, and that she was alone in the palace with no trusted confidants. It was precisely because he felt she couldn't cause any trouble on her own in the palace that he later stopped interfering in her relationship with Gu Chenglin.

Thinking back to how difficult and lonely she must have been, trapped alone in the palace, his eyes welled up with tears. He glanced at the person in front of him; she seemed still immersed in her low spirits. He felt he couldn't let her continue like this.

"Tonight is their wedding night," a voice whispered in my ear.

"Hmm?" Yun Chu was a little confused. What did Gu Ruoxiao mean by saying this?

"Let's join together."

"what..."

Before Yun Chu could finish speaking, Gu Ruoxiao's kiss landed on her lips. He didn't release her until she was almost breathless. Yun Chu's legs were weak from the kiss, and she could barely stand, leaning on Gu Ruoxiao. Her eyes were red, and her lips were even more luscious from the earlier kiss.

Gu Ruoxiao's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and he simply picked her up and carried her into the house.

That night, the Prince's mansion was filled with the warmth of spring and the fragrance of flowers.
