Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

He Shulan and the Prince stood on the top of the mountain. The mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, but they could not conceal the majesty of the mountains.

A gust of wind blew over, and He Shulan shivered with cold. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she raised her head and wanted to ask the prince when he would come down the mountain.

I did see the prince looking at the towering mountains with a serious expression, with an indelible sadness in his eyes. I wonder if it evoked the prince's sad memories.

She asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you?"

The prince came back to his senses and did not avoid He Shulan's question: "I think of my parents who passed away early."

The early death of the prince's parents has always been a mystery. There are various rumors in the capital, and the most popular one is that the prince's parents died of illness. Whether it is true or not, there is no way to know, and the prince's mansion has kept a low profile and has never come out to explain.

He Shulan couldn't suppress her curiosity: "Why did your parents die young?"

The prince was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Twenty years ago, the barbarians invaded the border, burning, killing and looting the people in the border. My grandfather was guarding the border. He was seriously injured in a battle. My mother was worried about my grandmother, so she secretly went to the battlefield to replace my grandfather. My father was worried about my mother, so he left me, who was just born, and followed her to the battlefield. Not long after, my mother was ambushed by the enemy on the battlefield and was seriously injured. Not long after returning to the capital, she died. My father, who missed her so much, became ill and soon followed my mother."

He Shulan said puzzledly: "This is a good thing. We can tell the people in the capital why we have to hide it."

"My mother went to the battlefield and led the troops to fight secretly. Although they won, many soldiers died. The army also has regulations that women are not allowed to join the army. In order to avoid being impeached by the ministers of the court, the cause of death of the two was concealed."

Now, He Shulan could understand why the Prince's Mansion concealed the news. She had seen the Prince reading military books several times. "What about you? Do you want to fight in battle like your mother?"

This question touched the prince's heart. When he was a child, he often went to see his grandfather and practiced martial arts with him, but was pulled back by the old lady time and time again.

Because of this, the old lady and my grandfather had quarreled countless times. The reason was that the Prince was the only descendant in the Prince's Mansion. If anything happened to him, the Prince's Mansion would be extinct.

There was no other way, so his grandfather had to give up teaching him martial arts: "The old lady wouldn't let me go to the battlefield. She sent my father and mother away with her white-haired mother. I didn't want to make her sad anymore, so I stayed in the capital."

He Shulan did not continue to ask. She raised her head and saw the white clouds turned red by the setting sun. "It will get dark soon. Let's go back! The old lady must be getting anxious waiting for her."

The two walked down the top of the mountain, one in front and one behind.

The old lady sitting in the pavilion looked at the prince and princess walking side by side, and said happily to the nanny standing beside her, "Soon I will have my great-grandson in my arms."

Mammy nodded in agreement.

He Shulan supported the old lady, and the group returned to the temple's courtyard before dark.

Li Wanrong, standing in the yard, looked at the old lady and her companions who came in happily, as harmonious as a family. She stared at the prince with bloodshot eyes.

The prince was still angry about the matter between Xiniang and Liu De. He ignored Li Wanrong and walked towards his room.

Li Wanrong stopped him and asked loudly, "Why are you with He Shulan?"

The prince was very annoyed by Li Wanrong's questioning. In order to reassure Li Wanrong, he not only kept a distance from women, but also replaced his personal maid with a male one.

Now Li Wanrong's possessiveness made him breathless: "I don't need to explain to you who I am with."

Li Wanrong noticed the changes in the prince. Not only did he become increasingly cold towards her, he also stopped trying to coax her with sweet words. When she heard the door closing, she stormed back to her room.

Xing Er was worried that Aunt Li would fall out of favor: "I see that the prince is very angry. Why don't you give in to the prince and apologize? Then the prince will not ignore you anymore."

"It's useless." Li Wanrong knew the prince very well. The prince came from a wealthy family, but he was not as fickle as other rich boys. He was very loyal in his relationships. When the prince fell in love with He Shulan, her relationship with him came to an end.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. When she first met the prince, the vows he made to her kept echoing in her mind.

Ever since He Shulan married into the Prince's Mansion, so many things have happened and Li Wanrong's feelings for the Prince have become increasingly weak. Thinking of the Prince being snatched away by He Shulan, she felt like a piece of flesh was being dug out of her heart.

She would never give up the position of Prince to He Shulan. She touched her slightly bulging belly. Now the child was her guarantee. After the child was born, she hoped that it would ease the relationship between her and the Prince, and also win the Prince's heart back. "We will go down the mountain and return to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow. Go pack your luggage and never come to this boring temple again."

Dark clouds covered the moon, and lights were lit up in the courtyard under the night sky. After dinner, the old lady took He Shulan to the hall of the temple.

The little monk standing at the door led the two people into the back hall. The back hall was very hidden and large. There were lights burning on the shelves inside. When they walked in and looked, they saw people's names written under the lights.

The two followed the little monk forward and walked to the end of the back hall. There was a separate small hall with four lamps on the shelf in the middle of the hall.

In addition to the prince's deceased parents, the old lady and the prince's longevity lamps were also placed on it.

The little monk took out a longevity lamp from the corner and handed it to the old lady. He Shulan's name was written on it.

This surprised He Shulan very much. Not everyone with money could offer sacrifices to the Longevity Lamp. Only people of status and those who had made contributions to the country were qualified to offer sacrifices to the Longevity Lamp.

She was the princess of a county, and her status was higher than that of ordinary noble ladies in the capital, but she was not yet qualified to offer the Longevity Lamp: "Old Lady, are you sure I can do this?"

"You married into the Prince's Mansion, and you can also have the glory of the Prince's Mansion. We all offer immortal lamps, and you are the Princess of the Prince, so of course you can have it too." The old lady lit He Shulan's immortal lamp with her own hands and put the lamp on the shelf: "You go and pay your respects to the Prince's parents, so that they can see you as their daughter-in-law."

He Shulan took the incense handed over by the little monk, bowed three times to the longevity lamp, and then sat aside to write scriptures. Gold foil was mixed into the ink, and the scriptures glowed under the light. After writing the scriptures and burning them, it was already midnight.

She helped the old lady back to the yard.

It was just daybreak and the chirping of birds on the branches woke He Shulan up from her sleep. After she washed up with the help of Chunxia, ​​she came to the yard. The nanny had already packed the old lady's luggage.
