Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lan Ruobing enjoyed seeing her brother smile. For some reason, she could feel what her brother felt. If he was happy, she felt it, and if he cried, she would guess he was hungry.
She liked sticking close to her brother and smiling at him. After all, he was her twin, her family. She would wake up smiling daily, and her heart felt warm.
Bing Suwan would visit them when she had time, but Lan Ruobing felt her mother would dote on her more. Still, Lan Ruozhu did not cry because of that. Although they were still babies, he would only smile whenever he saw his mother hugging his sister more.
Therefore, Lan Ruobing knew she had to treat her brother better. Since she had the memories of two lifetimes, she could learn things quickly, such as crawling and walking.
Bing Suwan was delighted to see her daughter learn such things so quickly. She happily played with her daughter daily and trained Lan Ruobing to walk. Meanwhile, Lan Ruozhu watched his sister and followed suit.
Moreover, his walk was steadier than his sister’s.
Lan Ruobing knew her brother was naturally intelligent, and when she could finally talk, she called Bing Suwan “mother.”
Bing Suwan was so happy that she hugged Lan Ruobing. She doted on her daughter and wanted to make her some clothes. However, she did not know how to sew, so she took the time to learn.
She accidentally poked several holes in her hands while learning to sew, but she smiled nonetheless. She first made beautiful clothes for Lan Ruobing and then more for Lan Ruozhu.
Lan Ruozhu learned to speak before he was even a year old. But the first word he learned was not “father” or “mother”—instead, it was “little sister.”
He looked at his twin sister and called her, “Little Sister!”
His face was joyful when he called her.
Bing Suwan asked, “Ruozhu, do you like your sister that much? Is that why you learned to call for her first?”
Lan Ruozhu had learned to call for his sister first because Bing Suwan often told him that she was his little sister and that he had to protect her. Lan Ruozhu probably remembered the words because his mother often repeated them.
Lan Ruobing was a bit surprised because she had the memories of two lifetimes and could learn things much more quickly than usual. However, her brother did not have such a thing.
Hence, she thought her twin brother was highly talented and intelligent.
When she first started walking, she was so anxious that she almost fell.
Meanwhile, her brother also felt anxious as he watched from the sidelines. Although the twins were only a few months old, their expressions were evident.
Lan Ruobing walked over and touched her brother’s face. She would sometimes fall when her mother or the servants were not around. However, she did not cry when she was in pain. Instead, Lan Ruozhu would cry.
Since they were twins, they seemed to have a spiritual connection. It was miraculous for people of this world to sense others’ emotions.
The twin’s father returned when they turned one. When Lan Xiyao returned, he looked at his two children happily and carefully held his daughter.
When Lan Ruobing called him ‘father,’ Lan Xiyao’s eyes reddened. “My dear daughter can speak now? You can call me father, huh?”
He also brought his daughter many toys but did not want to let go of her. He only let go of her and carried Lan Ruozhu when his wife took his daughter from his arms.
Lan Ruozhu knew that man was his father, so that was what he called the man.
Lan Xiyao was delighted. “Son, you’ll grow into a man soon, so you must learn to be unconquerable. You must support and guard the border, okay? Most importantly, you must protect your sister at all costs.”
The one-year-old Lan Ruozhu nodded thoughtfully. “Yes! Protect my sister.”
Lan Xiyao was pleased to see his son so obedient. This time, he won the battle and received rewards from the emperor. The palace also hosted a banquet, so he brought his wife and two children along.
Since it was the imperial edict of the Imperial Palace, the family had no choice but to attend the banquet. Although Bing Suwan wanted to protect her children, she could not stop them from entering the palace.
The residents of the deceased royal’s mansion had glory. If she did not listen to the emperor’s arrangements, one could only imagine what the emperor would think.
Therefore, Bing Suwan had no choice but to prepare her children and bring them to the palace.
The palace banquet was massive, and the emperor’s concubines and princes participated. The nobles and ministers also brought their families to the occasion.
Bing Suwan brought four capable people with her. Although all four people looked like maids, two of them were guardians she had brought from her Bing clan, who were loyal to her.
The two guardians were skilled in martial arts, and she believed they could protect her two children.
Lan Ruobing rarely went out, even in ancient times. She knew the main reason was that her mother wanted to protect her and her brother.
Since King Lan Xiyao and his wife held high positions, all forces watched their mansion. Hence, Bing Suwan ensured to be cautious with her every move. She could not let those forces target her two children, so the twins had never
revealed their faces.
Others were curious about the royals’ twins but had never seen their faces.
Everyone looked over when they saw King Lan Xiyou, Bing Suwan, Crown
Princess Lan Ruozhu, and Crown Princess Lan Ruobing entering the palace.
That was because Lan Xiyao was extraordinarily handsome, and his wife was devastatingly beautiful. Wherever the royal family appeared, they would always amaze others.
Then there was their son and daughter, who looked adorable. The one-year-old kids looked so soft and cute, so the people in the palace could not help but want to approach them and hug them.
However, the emperor seemed uncertain.
When Lan Ruobing raised her head to look at the emperor, she saw a flash of killing intent in his eyes. She was sure of it. Although it was fleeting, she saw it. She lowered her head, and a murderous look flashed across her eyes.
Since the emperor wanted to kill her and her family, she had to think of a way to eliminate him. She had two lifetimes worth of memories and had no thoughts of superiority.
Her family was most important to her, and she would not allow anyone to hurt them. However, she was too young now and could not do anything.
Lan Xiyao and Bing Suwan paid their respects to the emperor and empress before taking their seats. Immediately after, everyone exchanged pleasantries.
Many of the officials’ wives liked Lan Ruozhu and Lan Ruobing. They wanted to hug them because they thought the children were too adorable—especially the young princess, who looked very likable.
Even the empress could not help but want to hug them. She was Lan Xiyao’s younger sister, so she liked her nephew and niece very much. She was also why Lan Ruobing and Lan Ruozhu did not need to enter the palace even though they were already one year old.
However, her brother had contributed to a winning battle, and the emperor was determined to host a banquet. Therefore, Lan Xiyao, his family, and those from his mansion had no choice but to attend.
Shortly after, the emperor carried Lan Ruozhu.
Lan Ruobing watched helplessly as the emperor hid a poison needle in his sleeve, wanting to poison her brother..
