That night, An Ranyue woke up from her dream. She called out to Xiaonuo loudly. It was not until Xiaonuo appeared that she spoke: "Pour me some water..."
"Concubine Yue, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?" Xiao Nuo brought some water and asked in a soft voice.
An Ranyue still looked around in fear, and after a while she poured the water in: "I saw An Yanran."
Xiao Nuo was also startled, her voice trembling a little: "Master, where did you see it, please don't scare me."
An Ranyue suddenly grinned. Because it was night, and especially because her hair was disheveled and her eyes were bright, this smile was really frightening. Her pale face was like a ghost. How could Xiao Nuo not be frightened? She looked around, and didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that the curtain moved slightly. There was no wind in the room, so how could it move?
An Ranyue was panting, still looking around, pulling her sleeves tightly, hiding in the bed, covering herself with the quilt, not saying a word, just shivering. Xiao Nuo saw that something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Master, do you want me to ask a doctor to come and take a look? Or would you like some hot water? Or call a few more people in."
"No... no need." An Ranyue took a deep breath, as if she had calmed down. She looked at Xiao Nuo and smiled, "I really saw An Yanran. She was dressed very beautifully and came to talk to me. She said that I took good care of Lin'er and that she would feel relieved if I could always take care of him. She also said that she couldn't trust other women in the yard. While we were talking, she found out that Lin'er was not with me, so she looked for him everywhere. In the end, she couldn't find him, so she said that I had killed her child and wanted to strangle me to death and make me pay for their lives..."
Xiao Nuo felt a chill on his back when he heard this. He looked back and said with courage, "You must be thinking about something."
"Maybe... go get a doctor early tomorrow morning. No, go get a doctor now and tell him that I was scared... tell the doctor about the dream. The scarier the better." An Ranyue is now back to life, so her mind is clear and she knows what she is doing.
Xiao Nuo knew what her master meant, so she immediately called the eunuchs and palace maids, asking them to quickly light up the lights and go get a doctor, the sooner the better.
Everyone was busy, and soon the news of her nightmare reached the ears of the concubines. At that time, Lei Yuezhu was dressing in front of the mirror in the room, with a happy expression on her face. Last night, Prince Kang finally served her well, and such extreme tenderness made her unable to stop. Therefore, her whole body exuded a kind of brilliance from the inside out, and people couldn't help but feel happy for her when they saw her.
"What's wrong?" Lei Yuezhu saw a little girl behind her who shrank back as soon as she showed her head.
The little girl was about to speak again, her whole body trembling.
"explain!"
"My princess, Concubine Yue dreamt of Madam Yan last night. The doctor just went to see her and said she was talking nonsense and wanted to be killed or chopped off. A group of palace maids couldn't stop her. She said she was Madam Yan and wanted to see her child, so she came here..."
Lei Yuezhu was stunned when she heard this: "Who is Madam Yan?"
"She is Master Lin's biological mother..."
"Oh, I see. I'd like to see if she wants to see me or her son. Someone, find me a useful thing." She smiled, weighed the vase in her hand, and turned her head. "Can you change it to something more useful?"
The maid took the sword off the wall again. Lei Yuezhu took it in her hand and walked out. She heard a commotion in the distance. She stood on the steps, waiting for An Ranyue to arrive. Everyone looked at everything in front of them anxiously, wondering if there was going to be a big commotion? Was the princess going to kill the concubine on her first day? This couldn't be a bigger surprise. Just when they were getting angry, Dongfang Ye appeared. He obviously knew what was going on. He smiled gently at Lei Yuezhu and took the sword from her hand: "This is not a battlefield, what are you doing with the sword?"
"Your Highness, you're back just in time. Concubine Yue wants to kill me, saying that I took her child away." When Lei Yuezhu saw Dongfang Ye this time, she suddenly became weak and leaned on his shoulder, as if she had been beaten by An Ranyue.
"I know. I have had her taken back. You don't need to be angry with her. She is just a fool and was frightened by a nightmare. I will go and check on her later."
"Kill people because of a nightmare? Really, it's a luck that it happened during the day. If he had come in at night, how could we have prevented him? In my opinion, if she was really scared crazy, there are ways. Can't we just lock her in the yard?" Lei Yuezhu hated An Ranyue. There was no sympathy in her words, but satisfaction instead.
Soon, Dongfang Ye calmed Lei Yuezhu down and came to Youmengxuan again. At this moment, An Ranyue had already fallen asleep. The doctor was writing a prescription beside her. When he saw Dongfang Ye come in, he immediately reported: "Your Majesty, the side princess was extremely frightened. I have prescribed a tranquilizer for her. She has fallen asleep after taking it."
Dongfang Ye looked at the person on the bed, sighed, and had an impatient look in his eyes: "Xiao Nuo, keep an eye on her from now on. I will send guards over. If she makes trouble again, I will have them tie her up. Tell her that no matter if she is really scared or not, I will not change my decision. Instead of having such free time, you might as well let her do something serious and take good care of her body."
Xiao Nuo agreed.
An Ranyue turned over, as if she didn't know Dongfang Ye had come, and continued to sleep.
Dongfang Ye asked the guards to guard the door and left.
Soon An Ranyue woke up. She opened her confused eyes and stared at the door. Xiao Nuo approached quietly: "Master, are you feeling better?"
An Ranyue stared at her and suddenly said, "It seems that the women of Leitai Country are braver than those of other countries. They are not even afraid of ghosts and gods."
"Yes, the princess is very tall and strong. I heard that she is good at using a sword. She was standing at the door with a sword just now. It was very scary."
"Humph, she will not have a good time. She really thinks she is a nobody. Don't you know that our master is fickle and likes new things. The more women, the better."
Xiao Nuo didn't know how to respond, so after thinking for a long time, he said, "The prince was here just now..."
"I know. From today on, we'll stay in this yard and not go out. I want to have some quiet time." An Ranyue seemed really tired, so she lay back on the bed and took a nap.

Lian Mansion.
A peach tree is full of blossoms, like clouds. Under the tree, a woman in pink is looking up at the blossoms, not knowing that someone is looking at her while she is looking at the blossoms. Her face is even more beautiful and graceful than the blossoms.
"My wife." A soft call rang in her ears, and then a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.
Dongfang Ruoxue didn't look back, just curled the corners of her mouth slightly, said nothing, and continued to look at the peach blossoms.
Lian Muhan also looked up with her. In fact, the peach blossoms in their Lian Mansion bloomed later than those in other houses: "I remember seeing the peach trees in Shouwang Mansion in the restaurant. They were connected together, but I wonder if you can eat all the peaches in your house in autumn."
"You care about this?" Dongfang Ruoxue smiled faintly. She had never thought about this question before, and she didn't know where the peaches in her house had gone recently.
"Of course, if we can't eat enough, we can go back and stay for a month. I like peaches the most."
"Only monkeys like to eat peaches."
"Okay, you teased me." Lian Muhan said, tickling her, and Dongfang Ruoxue struggled and ran away, circling the tree, her laughter reaching the sky, shaking off the clouds on the tree, and falling on her body and hair like snow. Lian Muhan looked at the beauty in front of him, and his figure quickly moved forward and hugged her in his arms: "Do you remember the first time we met?"
"First time?" Dongfang Ruoxue seemed to be thinking.
Lian Muhan pretended to look gloomy: "Why? I'm so small that you can't even see me?"
"Well, isn't it at my sister-in-law's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"wrong."
"wrong?"
"Yes, it's wrong."
"Then... where is it?"
"When I was seven years old, during the Lantern Festival, I saw a little Guanyin. Wasn't it you in costume?" Lian Muhan's eyes were smiling. "Look, you were on the lotus lantern at that time, so majestic. You didn't pay any attention to a mortal like me."
Dongfang Ruoxue remembered that for some reason she insisted on dressing up as Guanyin and having fun with the people that year. Her father had no choice but to agree to her request. The child who was replaced was very unhappy and even cried.
"How do you know it was me?"
"Of course I know. People on the street know it too. How could I not know it?"
Dongfang Ruoxue's thoughts went back to the past. She couldn't imagine what Lian Muhan was like when he was seven or eight years old. He was probably very naughty. Lian Muhan also recalled it and didn't speak for a long time. The two of them stood quietly hugging each other, which in itself formed a beautiful picture.
The little maids who were approaching quickly ran away.
I didn’t dare to disturb the newlyweds.

East Palace.
An Qingran suddenly wanted to eat something sour, but she didn't like the fruits in the palace, so she said mischievously, "Rosewood, give Master Lian a message. I want to eat sour dates. Ask him to bring me some. Tell him that this is one of my conditions."
"Sour jujubes? Master, where can we find sour jujubes at this time of year? I guess it's the candied fruit?"
"Who needs him to come find the candied fruit? Tell him and give him seven days. If he can't find it, just lend me his wife for two days." An Qingran said while trying not to laugh.
Honeysuckle looked at her doubtfully: "Do you really want to repeat it verbatim like this?"
"Yes."
If not, the kid would be dissatisfied.
After the words were passed on, Ren Dong came back with a smile on her face: "Master, Mr. Lian is very afraid of you. He told me that he promised to complete the task and would definitely send the things to you within seven days. Master, do you still have those sour dates?"
"Of course there are. If you go to extremely cold places, you will always find small dates growing on tree branches. The sour taste of the dates is mild, but they are very special, sweet and sour and delicious. As I'm talking about this, my mouth is starting to sour. It's incredible. Hurry up and bring me the mountain fruit cake so I can try it first."
