The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Yan Muqing was already three months pregnant. She no longer stayed in the Eastern Palace but came to the Yan Mansion openly.

Although Yan Muxi was shocked, he still managed to appear calm. He turned around and saw Yan Muyun, who was dumbfounded, and hurriedly pulled her aside.

Yan Muyun came back to her senses and knelt down to salute with a slightly flustered look. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the prince and no one noticed her abnormality.

"Your Highness, your Highness the Crown Prince, and your Highness the Third Prince."

Yu Jintang walked quickly to Old Lady Yan and said, "Grandma, please stand up quickly. Today is your birthday. Please don't show me such a big gift that it will make me feel embarrassed."

Old Mrs. Yan's body was stiff, and she looked frightened, as if she wanted to pull her arm away but was afraid to move.

Seeing her discomfort, Yu Jintang took a step back and signaled his servants to present the birthday gift.

Yan Muqing walked forward and stood about five or six steps away from Old Lady Yan. She coughed twice before she spoke, "Ahem, my cold hasn't fully healed yet. I shouldn't have come to celebrate your birthday, but I missed you so much that I came here shamelessly. I hope you won't blame me."

Old Madam Yan replied in a coy voice, "Don't blame me, don't blame me! Qing Jie'er, I'm very happy that you can come back to see me."

"Since the concubine is unwell, please don't stay outside. Go to the side hall and rest for a while!" Su said with concern.

"Okay, to avoid passing the disease on to everyone, Mu Qing will leave first." Yan Muqing bowed to Old Lady Yan as a junior, and went to the side hall with the maid.

Seeing this, Yan Muyun wanted to follow, but was pulled back by Yan Muxi.

There was only a door curtain separating the side hall from the main hall, so it was inconvenient to talk. It would seem too deliberate to just go over there rashly. If Yan Muqing had something to discuss with the two of them, she would definitely find a chance to meet them later.

Due to health reasons, Yan Muqing did not dine at the same table with the old lady, but opened a separate table in the side hall. Yan Muxi and Yan Muyun stayed in the main hall.

Old Madam Yan liked to listen to operas, so Su specially invited the most famous opera troupe in Luodu City to perform in the mansion, and the stage was set up in the small garden.

After the banquet, Old Lady Yan was surrounded by the female relatives and went to the garden to watch a play. Yan Muxi invited Yan Muqing to take a rest in Jinyu Garden on the grounds that the East Courtyard was quiet.

When only the three sisters were left in the house, Yan Muyun couldn't wait to ask, "Boss, are you going to die? Why did you suddenly return to the Yan Mansion without saying a word?"

"Don't worry, Third Sister. I'm not pregnant yet, so it doesn't matter if I appear in front of others."

Yan Muqing thought about it for a long time before making the decision. Sometimes, hiding too much is more likely to arouse suspicion, so it is better to be more frank.

If the prince went back to Yan Mansion alone to celebrate his birthday, she would hide in the East Palace and would attract more attention. It would be normal for her to follow him as if nothing had happened, and it would not attract too much attention.

"Big sister, you took the risk to return home. There must be something else going on, right?" Yan Muxi asked.

Yan Muqing nodded, "Indeed, there are other things, but I wonder if that person will show up again?"

In his previous life, the eldest prince also came to attend the old lady’s birthday banquet. He fell in love with the female performer on the stage at first sight, and then carried the female performer back to the palace regardless of etiquette.

Before Yan Muching and the prince were imprisoned, the actress of humble origin had already become the concubine of Prince Rui and had been favored by Prince Rui for many years, overshadowing Hua Wanying and Li Chan'er.

In this life, Prince Rui was stripped of his title and went to North Vietnam to escort his bride. He was unable to come to Yan Mansion to celebrate birthday like in his previous life. Logically, he should not have anything to do with actors anymore, but Yan Muqing always felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart, and his eyelids twitched violently in the morning. So he thought about coming and seeing with his own eyes to see if the actors would appear again like in his previous life.

After learning the reason, the three sisters rested for a while and then went to the garden together.

The garden of Yan's mansion is not big. The stage is set up at the northernmost part of the garden. There is a lively singing on the stage.

After greeting Old Lady Yan, Yan Muxi and the other two sat down on a bench not far from the stage and watched the show attentively.

The play performed on the stage was "The Story of the Red Tassel", which mainly told the story of Ying Niang joining the army for her brother and being named a female general after making great contributions.

At this time, the opera was reaching its climax. The female lead on the stage was dressed as a general, fighting the enemy with great vigor. Even after being seriously injured, she still fought to the end.

The Huadan who plays the role of Yingniang has a graceful figure. Her spinning and jumping look more like dancing than fighting. Those who are singing, reciting, and acting cannot take their eyes off her.

After the army won, when Yingniang collapsed under the heavy burden, many ladies in the audience wiped away their tears.

Yan Muxi glanced at Yan Muching and saw that Yan Muching's eyes were solemn. The actress who played Ying Niang on the stage must be the actress who had bewitched the eldest prince.

But as she looked, the woman on the stage only had a graceful figure, and her heavy makeup made it impossible to see her delicate features. How could the prince of the royal family, who had seen countless beauties, lose his mind at first sight?

"Good, good singing!" A man's cheering voice suddenly came from behind.

The female members of the family turned around and saw several men in fancy clothes standing behind the stage watching the show. The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and Prince Rong were among them.

Seeing that everyone was about to salute, Yu Jintang waved his hand, stared at the stage, and signaled everyone to continue watching the show.

The actors on the stage seemed unaware that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived. They continued to play drums and music and sing.

"Big sister, do you think the actress playing Yingniang on the stage is pretty?" Yan Muxi asked casually.

Yan Muqing said truthfully: "She is pretty, but she is far inferior to the second and third sisters in terms of looks."

Hearing her say this, Yan Muxi had an idea in his mind. The actor's appearance was not at all stunningly beautiful. The person could have been favored by the eldest prince for so many years, so she must have other outstanding qualities.

The three of them were so focused on observing the actors on the stage that they didn't notice that Yu Jintang's eyes had never moved away since they fell on Yingniang.

On the way back to the palace in the carriage, Yu Wantai suddenly said, "The prince seems to have taken a fancy to the actress performing on the stage."

Yan Muxi was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously rejected it, "How is it possible? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a lecher, how could he be interested in an actor?"

Yan Muqing's appearance is considered top-notch among the young ladies from noble families in Luodu City, but she is far inferior to Yan Muyun. If the prince was a lustful man, he would not have ignored the beauty and only been thinking about Yan Muqing for so many years.

If Yan Muxi was told that Yu Wantai fell in love with the actor after watching a play, she would choose to believe it without hesitation. However, she couldn't believe that the prince could easily fall in love with any woman other than Yan Muching.

As if he had guessed what Yan Muxi was thinking, Yu Wantai glanced at her unhappily, "Believe it or not, I'm reminding you anyway! As for whether you want to remind your elder sister, it's up to you to decide. Don't regret it when something goes wrong."

"How did you know that the prince fell in love with that actress?" Yan Muxi was a little suspicious that Yu Wantai was just crying wolf.

It was not the prince who fell in love with the actor, but Yu Wantai.
