Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

After Hua Xiulan and Jun Moli took their two children to play happily in Prince Duan's Mansion for a while, they felt that it was about time and decided to return to their own mansion.

At this time, Junyue suddenly ran over and said to her mother: "Mom, I want to play with my brother for a while, can I?"

Hua Xiulan patiently replied, "My daughter, you should play in moderation. You have been playing for several hours, and it is almost dark. We should go home."

Jun Yue heard what her mother said and knew there was no room for negotiation, but she was unwilling to give up, so she asked her father for help again: "Father..."

However, before Jun Moli and Hua Xiulan could respond, Jun Yao, who was standing by, stared at Jun Yue with wide eyes and asked seriously, "Jun Yue, are you going back home or not?"

Jun Yue was frightened by her brother and was about to cry: "Wow, I'm going back, I'm going back home right now!"

Seeing this scene, Jun Moli and Hua Xiulan couldn't help but laugh, thinking: "Hahaha, it turns out she is so afraid of her brother."

After bidding farewell to Concubine Dowager Xian, everyone said goodbye to Prince Duan and his wife, and then left Prince Duan's mansion.

On the way back home, Hua Xiulan gently stroked Junyue's hair and comforted her, "Okay, don't cry. Let's go play with my brother next time we have a chance."

Jun Yue nodded while sobbing, and her mood improved a little.

After returning home, the family had dinner and went to bed early.

However, Hua Xiulan tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

She thought about what happened in Prince Duan’s Mansion today, especially Jun Yue’s fear of Jun Yao.

She realized that she had doted on Junyue too much, causing her to become a little willful and timid.

Hua Xiulan secretly made up her mind to pay more attention to her daughter's education in the future and make her stronger and more independent.

My daughter is a princess and will need to go to the palace to attend banquets in the future. She cannot act so naughty and mischievous like this.

Hua Xiulan thought for a long time and decided to teach Junyue strictly from tomorrow. The next morning, Junyue was ready to stay in bed as usual, but was woken up by Hua Xiulan.

"Yu'er. You need to learn etiquette with your mother today." Jun Yue rubbed her eyes reluctantly, but seeing her mother's stern look, she had to get up obediently.

Throughout the entire day, Hua Xiulan personally taught Junyue various etiquette norms. Although Junyue found it a bit hard, she also understood her mother's good intentions.

As the days passed, Junyue gradually became sensible and well-behaved, no longer acting like a spoiled brat. Hua Xiulan saw this and was very pleased.

Hua Xiulan also found the best nanny to teach Junyue the art of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although the learning process was difficult, Junyue persisted.

Time passed by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the prince's tenth birthday banquet. On this day, the palace was decorated with lights and colors, and the atmosphere was joyous. The emperor and the queen also attached great importance to this day and decided to hold a grand banquet to celebrate the prince's birthday.

In the palace, the emperor and the queen looked lovingly at the prince sitting in front of them, and said earnestly: "Yu'er, starting from tomorrow, you will be ten years old. As the future crown prince, you need to start learning to handle state affairs and understand how to govern a country."

The prince straightened up and replied respectfully, "I obey your command." His voice was firm and confident, and his eyes were shining with anticipation for the future.

The prince has now grown into a 10-year-old boy, with an upright figure, a handsome face, and eyes that reveal intelligence and determination. He is dressed in gorgeous clothes, showing the majesty of the royal family. In him, people see the shadow of the future monarch, full of hope and vitality.

At the banquet, everyone was laughing and singing. However, in this lively atmosphere, a pair of sharp eyes were always watching the prince. This person was the third prince. He was jealous of the prince's status and talent, and had been trying to find an opportunity to overthrow the prince.

The third prince had only just returned to the palace from the temple since he was born. Imperial Concubine Jing doted on him to the heavens. After all, she gave her son, whom she hadn't seen for five years, whatever he wanted.

After three rounds of drinking, the Crown Prince left the table and went to the garden to get some fresh air. Seeing this, the Third Prince thought that this was his chance, so he followed him out.

He pretended to run into the prince by chance and asked with concern, "Brother, why don't you drink in the palace but come out instead?" The prince smiled and replied, "It's a bit stuffy inside, so I came out for a walk."

The third prince took the opportunity to instigate, "My brother is so lucky. Father and mother love you so much, but I have been in the temple for five years and they have never come to see me."

The prince consoled him, "Third brother, you just returned to the palace and need time to adjust. Father and mother treat us all equally."

The third prince sneered, "Really? But why do I feel that they prefer you more?" After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the prince thoughtfully.

The crown prince was ten years old, the second prince was six years old, the third prince was six years old, and the fourth prince was five years old. The eldest princess was nine years old, the second princess was six years old, and the third princess was five years old.

The crown prince looked at the third prince's back as he walked away, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart. He realized that the competition in the palace had already begun, and he had to be vigilant at all times. He decided to tell the queen about this and seek her advice.

The next day, the prince came to the queen's palace and told the queen everything about his conversation with the third prince last night. After hearing this, the queen frowned slightly. She knew the cruelty of the harem struggle and the ambition of the third prince.

The queen gently stroked the prince's forehead and said earnestly: "My child, you must be careful in what you say and do in the palace in the future, and you must not be swayed by the words of others. At the same time, you must study hard and improve your abilities to meet future challenges. As for the third prince, you don't have to worry too much. I will keep an eye on his every move." The prince nodded in agreement, looked at the queen gratefully and then left.

The queen thought about the prince's words and became worried about her own son.

"Grape, go and bring the fourth prince here quickly." The queen said gently.

"Yes." Grape answered respectfully. Then he turned to the side hall and brought the fourth prince.

"Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother. I wonder what the Queen Mother wants to see you about." The Fourth Prince Hua Xu asked after paying his respects.

"Xu'er, have you been having a good time with the Crown Prince these days?" the Queen asked with concern.

"I can play well with anyone." Hua Xu answered innocently.

"Xu'er, your brother the Crown Prince was born to our father's first wife, so he will definitely become the Crown Prince. Do you understand?" The Queen taught Hua Xu earnestly.

"Isn't Prince Brother the Crown Prince now?" Hua Xu looked at the Queen in confusion.

"Xu'er, I know you may be confused. Although you are also a legitimate child, since the prince is born to your father's first wife, he has deep feelings for her. Therefore, he is destined to become the prince. Do you understand?" The queen explained patiently.

"I understand. My son will not try to seize the crown prince's position from my brother, the crown prince." Hua Xu nodded sensibly to show his understanding.

"I'm glad you understand. What your mother is most worried about is that you will be misled and get involved in the fight for the throne. You are still young and need to remain innocent and kind. Remember, no matter what happens, you must stick to your principles and bottom line." The queen stroked Hua Xu's head and reminded him.

"I understand, thank you mother for your teachings." Hua Xu responded obediently.

"Very good, Xuer, you must remember these words. Don't be confused by external temptations and always keep your heart clear. Only in this way can you become a truly outstanding person." The queen said encouragingly.

Hua Xu nodded firmly, saying that he would remember his mother's teachings. He knew that as a child of the royal family, he must have enough wisdom and courage to face various challenges. The Queen's teachings undoubtedly made him more clear about his future direction.

"Mother, I won't. I am the most obedient son." Hua Xu's smile was like a blooming flower. He said happily: "I will definitely listen to you and make you proud!"

The queen gently touched Hua Xu's head, her eyes full of love and expectation, "That's good. Play more with the prince in the future. Learn from him and become a responsible and wise person. Do you understand?"

Hua Xu nodded vigorously, his eyes firm and serious, "Your son understands. I will work hard to be like my brother the Crown Prince and live up to your expectations."

Afterwards, Hua Xu bowed to the queen obediently and said softly, "I'll take my leave." Then he turned and left with light and confident steps.
