Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

When Zhou Xinyue put on this dress, she looked dignified and steady. Whether it was the emerald and white jade hairpin, or the emerald and gold earrings, the overall look was extremely steady, which was very different from Zhou Xinyue's usual self.

The temperament is outstanding, and the emphasis is on highlighting the feeling of stability and decency.

Although she hadn't put on makeup yet, Zhou Xinyue already looked very beautiful. Erdan kept praising Zhou Xinyue, and Zhou Xinyue felt embarrassed.

At this time, several girls were whispering nearby. Zhou Xinyue vaguely heard one girl say, "Yes, I heard he is the 29th prince. He is very low-key. Everyone who has seen him says he is the most handsome."

Another one said excitedly, "That's right. It is said that he is many times more handsome than the princes who came to Cangdu before. Haha, I wonder if he will come to participate in the family initiation ceremony in the palace this time! I really hope he comes so that we can take a look at him."

Zhou Xinyue pricked up her ears to listen to who these people who came into the house from outside were talking about. They looked so excited, just like fans looking forward to meeting their idol.

Zhou Xinyue was bored anyway so she continued to listen to their gossip. One girl continued, "I heard he's still unmarried. Aren't there many ministers' daughters who want to marry him?"

Another girl said in a crazy way: "Ah! It would be great if he likes me. Even being a personal maid would be fine. As long as I can stay by his side, it would be the best."

Another said, "Just dream. In your dream, you will have everything, including a golden house and a silver house. You can have whatever you want."

Several girls laughed. An older woman who was embroidering beads on Zhou Xinyue's dress turned around and shouted, "You have nothing to do, right? This is in the mansion, you ignorant bastards, wait a minute, I will leave you here and see how the mansion will deal with you talkative girls. Humph!"

The girls fell silent immediately after being yelled at.

Zhou Xinyue was wearing a dress with her arms outstretched. The embroiderers were checking the dress to see where it needed further sewing or additions. Suddenly, without the gossip of these girls, she felt so bored and her arms felt so sore.

After a while, everything was ready. Zhou Xinyue couldn't help asking Erdan, "What are these little sisters talking about? I'm confused. What twenty-ninth prince? What handsome? Who is it?"

As Erdan accompanied Zhou Xinyue in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven and ancestors, he whispered in her ear, "I also heard some maids in the palace say that there is another prince vying for the throne recently. The 29th prince has returned to Cangdu. Our emperor has a lot of princes. Ever since the crown prince passed away many years ago, the position of crown prince has been vacant for more than ten years. Moreover, the 29th prince is called Jin Youyuan. People say that he is very handsome, more than ten times more handsome than the other princes in Cangdu."

When Zhou Xinyue heard this, she was speechless. After all this time, it was just chasing stars. It seems that admiring handsome men and beautiful women knows no time or dynasty.

Zhou Xinyue's calm demeanor made Erdan smile and jokingly said, "You're not interested? Those girls dream of getting close to the twenty-ninth prince, don't you?"

Zhou Xinyue shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested in these. I just want to get this thing done first. After the ceremony is over, there are still things to deal with. Let's put the handsome guy's things aside for now. I'm not interested. But you, if you want, go ahead, hehe."

Facing Zhou Xinyue's teasing, Erdan blushed and said, "I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I haven't thought about anything else. No one can separate us."

Zhou Xinyue smiled warmly and began to rehearse these procedures.

Everything was progressing in an orderly manner, and finally the day came for Zhou Xinyue to return to her ancestral home.

The 銆 family was indeed different. There were many guests, including many civil and military officials, and the 銆 mansion was very lively.

The people in the mansion were busy and bustling, it was very lively, and Zhou Xinyue was being carefully dressed up by them in the small courtyard.

When Zhou Xinyue put on her dress and the white jade hairpin decorated with emerald and inlaid with gold, the tassel beads made of ice-green emerald beads and the white jade beads at the end of the tassels swayed slowly with her steps, looking gorgeous and elegant.

Zhou Xinyue specifically reminded that this was a family initiation ceremony, not a wedding, and that the makeup should be as simple and elegant as possible.

When Zhou Xinyue looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her face was lightly powdered, her skin looked smooth as cream, her facial features were delicate, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her affectionate peach blossom eyes with long eyelashes like a fan were truly dreamlike and ethereal.

Zhou Xinyue herself couldn't help but sigh, what a beauty she is.

She is so beautiful even when she is dressed up casually. She is truly born with natural beauty. Someone outside said, "Girl, it's almost time. You can go out now."

Zhou Xinyue nodded, Erdan supported her and walked out slowly. Just a few steps out of the madam's courtyard, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes beside the road.

Zhou Xinyue and everyone else were startled. Erdan and several maids took a step back in fear, and some even fell to the ground. Zhou Xinyue hurriedly calmed herself down and took a close look at the person in front of her, and almost failed to recognize him.

The man in front of him was skinny, with sunken eye sockets and black eyes. He grabbed Zhou Xinyue and ran into the bushes, saying quickly, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you away, just follow me."

Zhou Xinyue resisted and said, "I won't go with you."

It turned out to be Jin Lang. He was shocked and asked, "Why? Have you changed your mind?"

Several girls outside rushed over and said, "Girl, are you okay? I'll go call someone."

Jin Lang yelled, "All of you get out of here. I'm only going to say a few words to her. All of you get out of here."

Jin Lang said quickly, "Why did you agree to let them join the tribe? Why? Didn't you tell me that we would fight together, leave together, and stay together forever? Why? Why? Danmei, I love you, do you know that? I can't lose you. They made up a lot of jokes to make me give up. Do you know how funny it is? They said you are my eldest brother's daughter, that you and I are related by blood, and that we are traitors. Danmei, how can I believe what they said? How can I believe that I ran out to take you away at all costs? Let's leave here, okay? Let's go to a place where there are no people and live a pastoral life, okay? Okay? Speak."

Zhou Xinyue was deeply hurt by Jin Lang's infatuation, and she also knew that it was absolutely impossible for them to be together.

Zhou Xinyue had tears in her eyes and was speechless for a moment. Before she could say anything, Fourth Aunt came running over with her daughter Yu Han.

Fourth Auntie was so anxious that she yelled, "Son, how long are you going to go crazy? Today she will be admitted into the family. She will be the goddaughter of the master and the eldest lady in name. We are nominally siblings. She will have to use the surname , do you know that? You know what her status is. I have told you long ago that it is impossible for you two to be together forever. Do you understand?"

Jin Lang yelled, "I don't know, and I don't want to understand. You are all trying to deceive me and keep me away from Dan Mei. Forget about it. I absolutely cannot believe it."
