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

At night, Yan Muxi had a dream. She dreamed that she was locked in a strange room, and the table, bed and floor were crawling with snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Snakes, insects, rats and ants crawled up her ankles, calves, thighs, and climbed up along her waist and abdomen. When they reached her neck, the tightly closed door was opened.

The blinding light shone in, and she was dazzled by it and couldn't open her eyes. She vaguely saw the figure of a thin woman. When she wanted to see the person clearly, her eyes were blurred by the insects and ants climbing up the rocks, and she could not see the person clearly in the end.

After falling into darkness, breathing became increasingly difficult. Just when she was about to suffocate to death, she suddenly woke up from her dream.

When he opened his eyes, Yan Muxi saw the bed curtain above his head. He paused for a long time, his mind still full of the images of snakes, insects, rats and ants in his dream, which he could not get rid of.

She turned her eyes to look at Yu Wantai who was lying beside her, and gently moved her body. When she touched the warmth of his body, she felt better both physically and mentally.

She let out a long sigh and was about to move back when Yu Wantai suddenly turned over, put his arms around her body, and held her in his warm embrace.

Her whole body was enveloped in warmth, and the fear in her heart slowly melted away, and she fell asleep again unknowingly.

After the person in his arms' breathing stabilized, Yu Wantai opened his eyes, reached out to straighten the corner of the quilt, and hugged the person tighter.

What you think about during the day you will dream about at night. Could it be that the little girl was frightened during the day? But the little girl has been brave since she was a child. She would not hesitate to sleep even if she got someone's life on her hands. When did she become so timid?

March is the time for poetry readings and various flower-viewing banquets every year.

On the eighth day of March, the Su family held a lake cruise and flower-viewing banquet. When Yan Muxi and his servant stepped into the inner courtyard, they happened to meet Su who was out to greet the guests.

The group walked towards the flower hall together. "Have all the sisters at home come to the banquet?" Yan Muxi asked Su.

Since she had the nightmare that day, she had similar dreams for several days in a row, always dreaming of snakes, insects, rats and ants crawling all over the ground.

And she always felt that she seemed to have really seen those scenes, so she wanted to meet Yan Muruo who was related to snakes, insects, rats and ants.

"I finally got the chance to leave the house. In addition to Roujie, Wanjie and Zhijie all came with me."

After hearing from Su that Yan Murou didn't come, Yan Muxi thought for a moment and asked, "Has mother gone to the palace to see the little princess?"

"I saw it early in the morning. The little princess has the same appearance and personality as the Crown Prince. She is easy-going and loves to laugh. By the way, I heard from your elder sister that it was thanks to you and Sister Yun that day. Otherwise, the little princess might have..."

Su sighed and said, "Alas~ Let's not talk about these bad things. Seeing that your third sister's belly is getting bigger, you, as a sister, can't fall too far behind! Of course, mother is just reminding you, not interfering in the affairs between you and your wife. Sister Xi, you are very clear-headed, I believe you know it all."

"It's clear, it's clear in my heart. Mother, please don't rush me. How can you rush the issue of having an heir?" Yan Muxi responded perfunctorily and changed the subject, "Isn't my fourth brother going to participate in the imperial examination this fall?"

Yan Honglin had an extremely high talent for study. He passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen and became the top scorer, breaking the record of Yan Yongchen who passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen and became the youngest top scorer in the Dafeng Dynasty.

Just when everyone thought that Yan Honglin would shine in the next year's spring examination like his father Yan Yongchen, Yan Honglin did not participate in the next year's spring examination, saying that he was still young and wanted to gain more experience.

Emperor Yuanjing issued an imperial decree to open a special examination, with the academy and provincial examinations scheduled for February and May respectively, and the metropolitan examination for August.

If Yan Honglin did not take part in the imperial examination this autumn, he would have to wait another year. Even if he passed the examination and became the top scorer, he would still be far behind his father Yan Yongchen, who passed the examination and became the third place at the age of seventeen.

"Your father said that although Lin'er has good literary talent, he lacks experience, and he wants him to wait two years before taking the imperial examination. Anyway, Lin'er is still young, and he won't be old enough to come of age in another year." Su said this, but she couldn't hide the regret on her face.

Yan Muxi disagreed, "Fourth brother has been traveling with Mr. Fang for more than a year. Isn't his experience enough? Father is not letting fourth brother take part in this year's examination just to avoid suspicion, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Some things are better known in your heart, but you can't speak them out loud." Su scolded.

"Don't worry, mother. My daughter is just complaining in front of our family and won't say anything nonsense outside." Yan Muxi sneered in her heart. Yan Yongchen wanted to avoid suspicion, but he was afraid that he couldn't avoid it this time.

After leaving Su Mansion in the afternoon, Yan Muxi deliberately took a detour back to Yan Mansion.

In Manwei Garden, Qian Manman was playing mahjong with the maids and old women. When she learned that Yan Muxi had returned, she hurriedly got up to greet him.

The mother and daughter came to meet them in the yard. Yan Muxi looked around and asked, "Why is Sister Rou not here?"

Qian Manman pulled her over and walked into the house. "Sister Rou went to the old lady's yard after lunch. She must be back soon. Sister Xi, if you want to see her, mother will send someone to Fujuyuan to find her."

Yan Muxi paused, "No need to send servants to look for her. It just so happens that I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, so I might as well go to Fujuyuan to take a look."

After finally getting the chance to meet and spend time with her daughter, Qian Manman wanted to talk to Yan Muxi alone, but out of filial piety, it was not easy to stop Yan Muxi from visiting the old lady, so she could only agree reluctantly, "Then Sister Xi, please come back earlier, mother still has a lot to say to you!"

At Fuju Garden, the gatekeeper was dozing off. When Yan Muxi and his servant approached her, she suddenly woke up.

"Why is the Second Miss here? I will go and tell the old lady now."

"No need to trouble mother. I heard that my ninth sister is also here with grandmother. We can just go in by ourselves."

"No, the old lady will blame me. I'd better go in and report it first." The old woman ran into the yard like the wind, shouting as she ran, "Old lady, old lady, the second young lady is here to see you!"

The courtyard of Fujuyuan is not big, with only three main rooms and two side rooms. If you shout at the gate, the sound can be clearly heard in the house.

But it was not until Yan Muxi and his servant were about to step into the house that Yan Muruo ran out, followed quickly by Old Lady Yan.

"Sister Xi, why did you come back so suddenly?"

Even though Old Lady Yan concealed it very well, Yan Muxi still heard a slight gasp. She pretended to be unaware and explained with a smile: "My granddaughter went to the Su Mansion for a banquet today, and she came back to see grandma when she passed by."

"I am an old woman who is about to die. What is there to see? Stop standing in the yard and come into the house!"

But in a moment, Mrs. Yan returned to her previous slightly vulgar tone of voice.

Yan Muxi took Yan Murou's hand and followed Old Lady Yan into the house.

Because there are chickens and ducks in the yard, the smell in the house is the same as that in the yard, which is not very pleasant.

The old woman put a coarse porcelain teapot on the table, and Old Lady Yan said, "I don't have any good tea in my yard, so just make do with what you have!"

Yin Xia received Yan Muxi's look and put the box in her hand on the table, "The Crown Prince's Consort specially brought you the best tea and supplements."

"I, an old man, am not worthy of enjoying these good things. Sister Xi, don't spend money next time you come." Old lady Yan's bright eyes fell on the supplements for a long time, and she looked like a greedy old lady.

"It's not worth much. Grandma, try it. If you like it, I'll bring you more next time. Don't be reluctant to eat it." Yan Muxi said as she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "It's getting late today, so I won't stay any longer. Sister Rou, do you want to go back to Manwei Garden with your second sister?"

Yan Murou glanced at Old Madam Yan, and seeing her waving her hands impatiently, she ran over and grabbed Yan Muxi's left hand.

After they were far away from Fujuyuan, Yan Muxi changed direction and held Yan Murou's hand with his right hand, pretending to casually put his left hand to his nose and sniffed it.

Sure enough, there was a faint fishy smell wafting from the hand that Yan Murou held. The smell was very light and could only be detected after a careful sniff. It was not the smell of blood, nor the smell of fishy stench, but a grassy smell similar to plant juice.
