Shen Wanyue woke up from a nightmare again. When she opened her eyes, she seemed to see the scene in her dream again. The burning fire engulfed the entire hall.
She looked at the man in the hall, holding a lacquered gold spiritual tablet in his arms amid the burning fire. His face was so peaceful.
By the light of the fire, Shen Wanyue could clearly see the words written on the spiritual tablet: Mu family Yun'an's spiritual tablet.
Shen Wanyue seemed to be possessed by a nightmare, her eyes were dull and did not move for a long time, until Forsythia pushed the door open and walked in, opened the curtain and called out: "Miss."
Shen Wanyue was brought back from her thoughts by the young lady's voice. The confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated, then she tilted her head and looked at Forsythia and asked, "Is Cousin Yi here?"
Forsythia shook her head.
On the bed, Shen Wanyue's eyes dimmed. She clasped her hands and closed her eyes. She said in a low voice, "I'll sleep a little longer. You go down."
Forsythia lowered the curtain and retreated.
Shen Wanyue turned over and a tear fell from the corner of her eyes. She waited for a day and Xiao Chengyi still didn't show up. Just like she had waited for so many years in her previous life, he still left her.
After going round and round, can't you change this fate?
No, she doesn't believe it!
If there is no Mu Yun'an, Xiao Chengyi belongs to her, it belongs to Mu Yun'an, and it all belongs to her!
She hates her.
Shen Wanyue held the quilt tightly, her heart filled with overwhelming hatred. She would never lose to Mu Yun'an again in this life, never!
...
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a grand banquet in the palace. According to the rules, all officials must bring their families to the palace to attend the banquet on this day.
Outside the gate of the General's Mansion, two carriages were waiting.
When Mu Yun'an left the house, he saw the second room's family waiting outside the door.
Because Mu Zongping was promoted to the position of Minister of Honglu Temple, he was also among the courtiers who entered the palace for the banquet, and Liu Lanxin and Mu Yunhuan accompanied them as family members.
Seeing Mu Yun'an coming out, Liu Lanxin greeted her with a smile and praised her a few times.
But Mu Yun'an only called her third sister lightly, and her expression was a little arrogant, as if she wanted to fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
She was dressed luxuriously today, and her makeup was carefully done up. It can be said that she had put a lot of effort into it. You must know that she would not have the chance to enter the palace on weekdays.
Now that she had such an opportunity, how could she not seize it?
Mu Yun'an remembered that in her previous life, her second uncle was not promoted to the position of temple minister so quickly, so naturally there was no second-brother in the palace banquet.
She and Xin Ruyi were the only female relatives attending the palace banquet at the General's Mansion.
It was just that she had a bad stomach at the palace banquet and was left to rest in the Weiyang Palace by the Queen. Yuan Qingrui also visited her during the period, so she was very happy.
Later, she returned home happily, and nothing special happened during the entire palace banquet. But now it seems that her bad stomach was not unusual at all. It seemed like the Queen did it on purpose.
Although some things have changed, Mu Yun'an believes that the Queen and the Prince will never let her go.
Thinking of these things, Mu Yun'an felt a little gloomy. She didn't want to enter the palace at all, but her identity couldn't be hidden here. Xiao Chengyi was not qualified to enter the palace to attend the banquet because he had not yet joined the officialdom.
Without Xiao Chengyi by her side, Mu Yun'an always felt a little uneasy. She touched the Tongxin Bell on her wrist. Before she left the house, she started to miss him!
