Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

"Yao'er, go to sleep with the wet nurse. Mother and father also need to rest." Jun Moli said gently and gently handed the child to the wet nurse.

Jun Yao opened his eyes wide, blinked them constantly, and made "babbling" sounds from his mouth.

"Be good, Yao'er. Mother will play with you tomorrow. Go to sleep." Hua Xiulan looked at her lovely son, her eyes full of love.

Afterwards, the wet nurse held Jun Yao and slowly walked towards Fengya Pavilion in the West Palace.

"Lan'er, it's time for us to rest." Jun Moli's eyes revealed a hint of tenderness and expectation.

"Yeah." Hua Xiulan's face flushed slightly and she nodded shyly.

Jun Moli gently took Hua Xiulan's hand, and the two walked side by side, their steps light and slow. As they walked, they arrived in front of Linglong Pavilion.

As you walk into the hall, a faint fragrance hits your nose. The room is decorated very warmly and elegantly, with flickering candlelight, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.

Jun Moli helped Hua Xiulan sit down, then sat beside her and said softly, "Lan'er, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight." Hua Xiulan looked up at the window, a bright moon hung in the sky, casting silver light. She smiled and replied, "Yes, the moonlight is like water, illuminating the entire Jun Mansion." Jun Moli stretched out his hand and took Hua Xiulan's shoulder, letting her lean on his arms.

Hua Xiulan felt Jun Moli's warmth and her heartbeat quickened. The two of them quietly enjoyed the tranquility of the moment, their breathing intertwined.

Suddenly, Jun Moli bent down and kissed Hua Xiulan's forehead lightly. Hua Xiulan's face immediately flushed and she lowered her head shyly.

Silence is better than words at this moment, as the two people's feelings converge and become stronger in this quiet night.

Jun Moli gently stroked Hua Xiulan's hair and whispered, "Lan'er, let's have another child, as cute as Yao'er." Hua Xiulan glared at him coquettishly, "You've already given birth to one, and you're still not satisfied?"

Jun Moli smiled and said, "I also want a daughter as beautiful and gentle as Lan'er." After that, he gently kissed Hua Xiulan's cheek.

A sweet feeling surged in Hua Xiulan's heart. She leaned in Jun Moli's arms and nodded shyly.

The moon was at its zenith, and the room was warm. The two of them slept in each other's arms, looking forward to a better future.

The next day, Lu Zhi sent a maid to visit Lu Qingqing at Prince Duan's villa, but was spotted by the Queen's men.

The maid trembled as she came to the courtyard, looking for Lu Qingqing. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by the Queen's men. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" the leading maid asked sternly.

The maid was so scared that she was shaking all over. "I... I came to see the second young lady on the orders of Master Lu."

"Humph, you are so bold! Isn't Miss Lu the Second a criminal?" The maid sneered, "Come here, take her away!"

Several guards came forward and dragged the maid away. The maid kept begging for mercy, but to no avail. She was brought before the queen and severely tortured.

At the same time, Lu Zhi learned that the maid had been arrested and was secretly anxious. He knew that this must be a trap set by the queen in order to find Lu Qingqing. He decided to go to the emperor in person, hoping to save his daughter.

When Lu Zhi sent the invitation to the palace, the emperor was very puzzled: Why did Lu Zhi send the invitation? When Lu Zhi arrived at the palace, he found out that it was because Lu Zhi's daughter Lu Qingqing had an accident.

Lu Zhi was kneeling in front of the palace, looking anxious and worried. The emperor asked hurriedly, "Lu Qingqing, what happened to your daughter?" When Lu Zhi heard this, he burst into tears and said with a sob, "Your Majesty, please save my daughter Qingqing!" Seeing this, the emperor was nervous and asked hurriedly, "Lu Qingqing, don't be anxious, tell me slowly. What happened?"

Lu Zhi took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and continued: "Your Majesty, please help me rescue Qingqing first." The emperor frowned and asked in confusion: "Rescue? Where is she?" Lu Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "She is recuperating in the other courtyard of Prince Duan's Mansion." The emperor's face changed when he heard this, and he said sternly: "Why are you recuperating? Tell me clearly!"

Lu Zhi had no choice but to tell the emperor the whole story...

Lu Qingqing was pregnant with his child? The emperor was shocked. He didn't expect that he would have such a result just because he was drunk. What surprised him even more was that it was twins. Now, the belly is already six months big.

"Someone come! Send a few people to the villa of Prince Duan's mansion immediately and make sure Miss Lu is brought into the palace safely." The emperor gave an urgent order.

"Yes." The eunuch took the order and left in a hurry.

- Prince Duan's Mansion -

"In compliance with the Emperor's order, I have come to bring Miss Lu to the palace to meet him." the eunuch announced loudly.

"Your servant obeys the order." Lu Qingqing supported herself on the ground with her hands and knelt down with difficulty to receive the order. She was six months pregnant and her movements seemed a little strenuous.

Lu Qingqing, supported by the palace maids, slowly walked into the palace. The emperor hurried forward and asked about her health with concern. With tears in her eyes, Lu Qingqing thanked the emperor gratefully.

The emperor looked at Lu Qingqing with a big belly and felt guilty. He decided to give Lu Qingqing a status so that she and her child could live in the palace legitimately.

But he still had to ask the Queen Mother and the Empress what they thought.

The emperor looked at Lu Qingqing and said softly, "Don't worry, I will give you and the child an explanation." Then he turned and left the palace and went to the empress dowager's bedroom.

After the empress dowager learned about this, she was silent for a moment and sighed: "Since it has been done, let's make her a noble lady. But the emperor must remember his status and not let this matter affect the government." The emperor nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

As for the Queen, although she was dissatisfied, she also understood that there was no room for maneuver and could only accept the reality.

Soon after, the palace held a simple ceremony to confer the title, and Lu Qingqing officially became Lu Guiren. After that, she rested in the palace and waited for the birth of her child.

——Prince Duan’s Mansion

"Your Highness, Qingqing is now pregnant with the dragon heir and has been conferred a noble lady. Will this bring disaster to the Lu family?" Princess Duan Lu Xiyue looked at Prince Duan with a worried look on her face and asked softly.

"Yue'er, don't worry. I will send someone to look after the Lu Mansion." Prince Duan comforted Lu Xiyue, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"But..." Lu Xiyue hesitated to speak, still feeling a little uneasy.

"Yue'er, don't think too much. There are only father-in-law and Lu Ke in the Lu Mansion. It's okay, I can handle it. If it doesn't work, bring them to Prince Duan's Mansion." Prince Duan patted Lu Xiyue's hand gently and said in a firm tone.

"Your Highness, that's not necessary." Lu Xiyue quickly shook her head. She knew that doing so might cause more unnecessary trouble. "I trust Your Highness."

Prince Duan looked at Lu Xiyue's trusting eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He held Lu Xiyue's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, Yue'er, I won't let anyone hurt you and the Lu family."

Lu Xiyue nodded slightly, leaning in Prince Duan's arms, feeling his warmth and strength, and the worries in her heart gradually dissipated. She believed that Prince Duan had the ability to protect them and the Lu family, and she also believed that they would be able to get through this difficult time.
