Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 298 The Prince and the First Lady Dined

Early in the morning, the prince slowly woke up.

The terrible nightmare from last night suddenly came back to my mind and couldn't be shaken off.

When the prince thought of the bright, cold sword that pierced Daiyu's stomach in his dream, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

At this time, Daiyu had finished washing up.

She was wearing a light pink jacket, but her originally slender waist had become rounder due to her pregnancy.

She walked lightly to the table and looked at the food prepared by Xiaoling and the others, and couldn't help but smile.

Daiyu immediately felt her appetite whetted as she had the purple-stalk rice porridge that the prince loved, the braised pork elbow rolls from Tianbaozhai, and a few side dishes.

She was just about to hold the prince's hand and have breakfast together.

The prince suddenly stretched out his hand to push her away, and said calmly:

"Yu'er, a few days ago my brother the Emperor asked me to discuss some important matters with the First Lady.

Have a good meal, I'll be back soon after I finish my work."

Daiyu felt a little disappointed when she heard this.

But when he thought about the approaching New Year and the numerous affairs in the mansion, he felt relieved.

She smiled slightly, gently took the prince's hand, and said softly:

"In that case, Your Highness, please go and come back quickly. Yu'er is waiting for you here."

The prince looked down at Daiyu's bulging belly, a hint of pity in his eyes.

He stretched out his right hand and gently stroked Daiyu's belly, as if he could feel the movement of the fetus in her belly, and said with a smile on his face:

"Be good and wait for Daddy in the room with Mommy. Daddy will be back soon."

After saying that, the prince turned around, picked out a thick blue gown and put it on, then hurried towards the first wife's room.

The eldest wife sat upright in the room with a bowl of steaming purple rice porridge in front of her.

However, her eyes seemed somewhat dull.

The spoon in his hand stirred the porridge bowl carelessly, occasionally scooping up a small mouthful, but it only stayed at his mouth for a moment before slowly putting it down.

Cai Lian carefully observed her master's expression and gently placed the exquisite dishes on the small plates beside her.

But even so, when Cailian was about to add new dishes, Dafujin suddenly raised her hand, waved it slightly, and said lightly:

"Cai Lian, please go down first and have a good meal."

After hearing this, Cailian wanted to persuade the first wife to have a good meal.

After looking at the expression of the eldest wife, he could only nod respectfully and said, "Yes, wife."

After Cai Lian left, the eldest wife slowly shifted her gaze from the table to the surroundings.

This room now seems as lonely and cold as a cold palace.

The furnishings in the house were still gorgeous, but there was no warmth or vitality at all.

The eldest wife stared at all this quietly, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.

She was in her prime youth and should have had a loving and harmonious relationship with the prince.

But now...

She couldn't help but think of the prince and Daiyu. Perhaps at this moment, they were sitting opposite each other with affection, toasting each other and sharing the sweetness.

She couldn't help but murmur, "The lonely Wutong tree in the deep courtyard is locked in the clear autumn!"

She could even count clearly how many leaves fell outside the window.

Such a huge contrast made the eldest lady feel heartbroken.

She told the prince in person that he was not allowed to step into her room again!

That very night, their relationship as husband and wife came to an end!

"Bijun, Bijun..."

Suddenly, a shout was heard outside.

Accompanied by a steady and powerful sound of footsteps coming from afar.

The eldest wife was originally admiring herself.

Suddenly startled by this familiar yet unexpected voice, he looked up in astonishment.

She thought to herself:

"How could I hear the prince's voice? Could it be my illusion?"

However, before she could come to her senses, a handsome figure appeared at the door.

That’s right, it’s the prince himself!

The prince walked into the room calmly.

When he saw her eating, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

He first walked to the basin, picked up a towel and gently wiped his hands.

Then he naturally moved to the side of the eldest lady and slowly sat down.

At this time, the eldest wife was still in shock and could not believe what was happening before her eyes.

She sat at the table with her eyes wide open, as if she had lost the ability to think. She even began to wonder if she was hallucinating.

The prince didn't seem to notice anything unusual about her.

He stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fragrant braised pork elbow from the table.

He carefully placed it in the middle of a small pancake, rolled it with fine scallion shreds, and then gently handed the rolled pancake to the first wife.

Seeing this, the eldest wife was stunned.

But he quickly reacted and a smile as bright as a flower bloomed on his face.

She quickly reached out and took the cake.

He whispered, "Your Majesty, you eat too!"

Suddenly, the whole air was filled with an awkward atmosphere.

Looking at the satisfied look on the eldest wife's face, the prince felt very uncomfortable.

At this moment, the eldest wife seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around with a smile and shouted loudly towards the door:

"Cai Lian, quickly go and serve the prince a bowl of hot purple rice porridge!"

But who would have expected that before he could finish his words, the prince actually waved his hands repeatedly to express his refusal.

He lowered his voice and said to the eldest wife:

"Don't bother the servants, just let us have our meal in peace!"

After saying this, the prince picked up the bowl of porridge in front of the first wife without saying a word.

He said jokingly with a smile on his face:

"Look, this bowl of porridge is perfect for both of us to drink. You didn't even touch it!"

The eldest wife seemed to be frozen in place, holding the chopsticks in her hand blankly.

She stared straight at the prince, her face frozen in one of astonishment.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, everything around became blurred, only the prince's smiling face was particularly clear.

While the First Concubine was still immersed in shock, the prince had already scooped up a spoonful of purple rice porridge and carefully placed it to the First Concubine's mouth.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly:

"Bijun, come, have a taste first."

The eldest wife's gaze slowly moved from the prince's face to the spoonful of porridge that was close at hand, and the surprise in her eyes became more and more intense.

She opened her mouth slightly and gently drank the spoonful of purple rice porridge.

However, when the warm porridge slid down her throat, the eldest lady's eyes suddenly became moist and tears flowed uncontrollably.

She raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, murmuring with a slightly trembling voice:

"Your Highness, what Bijun said the other day might have been a bit too harsh. Please don't take it to heart..."

Having said this, the eldest wife lowered her head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong.

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, the prince not only did not show any anger or blame, but instead laughed nonchalantly.

He reached out his hand, gently stroked the wife's hair, and comforted her:

"We are husband and wife, how can there be any overnight hatred between husband and wife?

It was my fault for neglecting you and the other sisters before."

As he spoke, the prince once again handed the spoon to the first wife's mouth, indicating that she should take another bite.
