Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

——Junfu

Yao'er and Yue'er are both in the palace now. Even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they did not return home.

"Mo Li, how about we go to Prince Duan's Mansion to spend the holiday with our mother?" Hua Xiulan asked softly.

"Lan'er, this is certainly a good idea." Jun Moli replied with a smile. His eyes revealed his tenderness and doting on his wife.

The two held hands and got on a carriage to go to Prince Duan's mansion, ready to spend this reunion festival with their mother. Along the way, they talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was full of warmth and happiness.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Prince Duan's mansion was bustling with activity. Concubine Xian sat in the hall early, waiting for her daughter and son-in-law to arrive. When she saw Jun Moli and Hua Xiulan walking in hand in hand, a happy smile immediately broke out on her face.

"Mother, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" Jun Moli and Hua Xiulan greeted Concubine Xian in unison.

"Good children, I'm glad you're here. Come in quickly and don't stand at the door." Concubine Dowager Xian stood up excitedly, took their hands and walked into the hall.

At this time, Prince Duan and Princess Duan also came in, followed by a little boy about four years old. He was Hua Zhan.

Hua Xiulan hurried forward to greet Prince Duan and Princess Duan, and sent her best wishes: "Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Hua Zhan also followed Hua Xiulan's example and greeted and wished Hua Xiulan and Jun Moli well.

Concubine Xian smiled and said to Hua Zhan, "Zhan'er, come here and let grandma hug you."

Hua Zhan ran over and threw himself into the arms of Concubine Xian.

The family sat together and began to taste the moon cakes and fresh fruits of various flavors on the table. Everyone chatted about family matters while eating delicious food.

Concubine Xian looked at Hua Xiulan and Jun Moli and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you have all grown up. Now with Yao'er, Yue'er and Xiaozhan, our family is getting more and more lively."

Hua Xiulan smiled and replied, "Yes, mother. Our home will be more lively in the future."

Jun Moli also echoed: "Well, Lan'er and I will definitely be filial to you and father in the future."

Princess Duan smiled and said, "You are all good children. As long as you are happy, it is the greatest filial piety to us."

The whole family was immersed in the joyful atmosphere and enjoyed this warm moment.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace was bustling with activity, but the bustle was not peaceful.

The Queen Mother and the Empress sat on the left and right sides of the Emperor respectively, and below the Empress sat Consort Hua, Consort Jing, Consort Wen, and Consort Jin in order; on the Queen Mother's side sat Consort Liang. As Prince Huai was still underage and unmarried, the Consort Liang was currently unable to leave the palace.

Behind each concubine were two small tables for the princesses and princes to sit. However, Jun Yao and Jun Yue's seats were a bit far away, located at the end of both sides. This made Jun Yue dissatisfied. She looked at her brother opposite her unhappily and complained in her heart: "Why do we have to sit here? If mother could enter the palace, at least she could sit behind the Queen Mother and Concubine Liang."

Jun Yue bit her lips tightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes. She secretly vowed to work hard to change this situation.

Who would have thought a five-year-old could have such strong emotions.

The Queen Mother seemed to have noticed something. She frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt and worry in her eyes. She shouted to the people in the hall, "Arrange for Master Jun Yao and the little princess to sit next to me."

The Queen Mother's voice was solemn and majestic, which made people feel awe. When Jun Yao and Jun Yue heard the Queen Mother's words, they showed surprise and joy on their faces.

They originally thought that they could only watch the ceremony silently from the side, but they did not expect that the Queen Mother would specially let them sit next to her. This was undoubtedly a great honor and favor.

Jun Yao and Jun Yue looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement. They said in unison, "Thank you, Grandmother." Their voices were full of gratitude. Then, they carefully walked to the Queen Mother and sat down respectfully.

At this moment, the whole scene became unusually quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Queen Mother, Jun Yao, and Jun Yue.

Everyone was secretly guessing the deeper meaning of the Queen Mother's move, and at the same time they looked at Jun Yao and Jun Yue with envy and jealousy.

The third princess looked at the scene in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad and jealous. She thought silently: "From the time I was born until now, the royal grandmother has never hugged me once, and she has never even given me a good look. But now, she is so gentle and kind to other children. It really makes people feel unfair!"

The third princess recalled her own upbringing. Although she was a princess of the royal family, she had always longed for the love and care of her grandmother. However, every time she met her grandmother, she was always treated coldly, as if she were just a stranger. This treatment made her feel lonely and helpless, and gradually the seeds of resentment were planted in her heart.

Seeing the warm smile that the Royal Grandmother showed to other children, the Third Princess's dissatisfaction became stronger. She felt like a forgotten existence, while those strange children could easily gain the Royal Grandmother's love. She couldn't help but start to wonder if she was really that unlovable, why didn't she get the same attention?

Jun Yao and Jun Yue, who were sitting next to the Queen Mother, felt the gazes of the people around them and seemed a little nervous. However, the Queen Mother smiled gently, reached out and gently stroked Jun Yao's hair, and said, "Don't be afraid, children. Today is a happy day, enjoy it." The Queen Mother's words were as warm as the spring breeze, which gradually relaxed Jun Yao and Jun Yue.

At this time, the sound of the piano sounded, and the banquet officially began. The dancers danced gracefully on the stage, which was beautiful. Jun Yao and Jun Yue watched the performance attentively, exclaiming from time to time.

The third princess gritted her teeth secretly and decided to find an opportunity to attract everyone's attention.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the Queen Mother suggested that the children show off their talents.

The second princess was the first to perform a little dance.

Then the third princess' eyes lit up, she had finally waited for the opportunity.

The third princess stood up, saluted the Queen Mother, saluted the Emperor and the Empress, and then said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter also wants to perform a dance for everyone." The Queen Mother smiled and nodded to show her agreement.

As the music started, the third princess began to dance. Her graceful movements and light figure attracted everyone's attention. However, at the last moment of the dance, the third princess deliberately fell to the ground, pretending to be injured.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor hurried forward to check. The Third Princess had tears in her eyes and said aggrievedly: "My granddaughter knows that I am not as good as my sister, but I also want to be loved by my grandmother..."

The Queen Mother hugged the Third Princess in her arms with heartache and comforted her: "Poor child, from now on, the Royal Grandmother will pay more attention to you." The Third Princess was secretly happy, as her goal was finally achieved.
