Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang had never seen Chu Yanluo. In her previous life, she stayed in a nunnery most of the time. Although she was later taken back to Prince Ning's Mansion by Xiao Qingyuan, she rarely went out.

However, everyone who has seen her says that she is indeed very beautiful, and she likes to wear white clothes. She looks like a fairy who is not stained by the dust, elegant and cold, with an otherworldly temperament that makes people dare not blaspheme.

Shen Wantang considers herself a vulgar person who loves money and enjoys life. She will hold a grudge and take revenge if she is bullied. She does not have any extraordinary temperament and is wearing a red dress at the moment, so it is impossible that she has the same style as Chu Yanluo.

Xiao Qingyuan said that she was imitating others, which was totally incomprehensible.

However, Shen Wantang was not angry, her tone was still calm: "I have never met the prince's sweetheart, so learning from her does not exist. Prince, please don't accuse me of anything."

She said, raising the scissors.

There was a crack on Xiao Qingyuan's handsome face: "What are you going to do to me? It's useless even if you kill me. I will never like you even if I die!"

Shen Wantang lowered his hands expressionlessly and cut the rope that bound his hands.

Then the feet, and then the body.

After cutting, she put down the scissors and walked out quietly.

Xiao Qingyuan stood there in a daze.

After a long while, he sat up, took the ropes, got out of bed and walked out.

There were a bunch of maids and nannies outside. He looked around but couldn't find Shen Wantang.

She actually did what she said. After cutting the rope, she avoided him.

Xiao Qingyuan was a little uncomfortable for a while. In the past, his mother arranged many maids for him in order to make him forget Yan Luo.

Those maids all looked a bit like Yan Luo, and every day there were maids who wanted to climb into his bed, using all kinds of means to seduce him, always creating all kinds of encounters, and all of them tried their best to get close to him. No matter how he scolded them, it was useless. Those maids still kept throwing themselves at him, always thinking that they could win his favor if they looked a bit like Yan Luo.

It was quite strange that he suddenly met someone who was avoiding him.

He frowned and left the yard and went to the princess.

When the princess saw him, she didn't look happy at all: "Who allowed you to step out of the door? Who was the blind man who untied the rope for you? Madam Quan, kick the servant who untied the rope for him out of the palace!"

Just as Nanny Quan was about to leave, Xiao Qingyuan said coldly, "She untied it for me."

The princess stared at him: "Who is she?"

Xiao Qingyuan had no idea what the woman he married was called. He frowned and looked at Nanny Quan: "What's the name of the woman who just came in?"

"My Lord, the Crown Prince's Consort is the Second Miss of the Shen Family. Her maiden name is Wan Tang, which is taken from 'A thousand pieces of cold red petals fall into the cold pond, and the makeup is Wan Tang pear rain'."

"I asked for your name, why did you explain so much?"

The princess's expression became a little better: "So it was the Crown Prince's Consort who explained it to you."

"Didn't mother just say that she wanted to drive the servant who untied my rope out of the palace? Then drive her out quickly, she is an eyesore to me!"

"Bastard thing!"

The princess was so angry that she slammed the table, making the teacup on the table clang loudly: "Wan Tang is the Crown Prince's Consort personally selected by your father and I. She is not a slave! No one in the entire palace can untie the rope for you, except the Crown Prince's Consort, because she is your legally married wife and the future mistress of our Ning Palace!"

"You want to kick her out, and I want to kick you out too! If you dare to go find that nun again, I will ask your father to depose you as the crown prince!"

Xiao Qingyuan's expression was as cold as ice: "It's useless, so what? Do you think I really want to be the prince? I don't care about these empty names at all. I only care about Yan Luo. She is everything to me!"

The princess was furious. She grabbed a teacup and smashed it on his head: "Get out of here!"

Xiao Qingyuan did not dodge and let the teacup hit his head.

Blood flowed down his forehead, but he still stood straight: "I don't want that Shen Wantang. No matter how similar she looks, she is not Yan Luo. I only want Yan Luo. I want to marry her. Only she is qualified to be my wife."

The princess's hands were shaking with anger. "Yanluo, Yanluo, you only think of Yanluo all day long! That woman has been sleeping with another man for a long time, and she is even pregnant! She is unfaithful and shameless, pregnant with someone else's child, and she even encouraged you to go to her house to propose marriage. Even if I die, I will never allow such a scheming woman to enter my house!"

Xiao Qingyuan shouted, "I wanted to propose marriage on my own initiative. Yan Luo didn't instigate me to do that! She got pregnant with someone else's child, and it wasn't her own will. She was forced!"

"Who said she was forced? She obviously wanted to do it, otherwise how could she keep the child! Do you think that everyone in our palace is a vegetarian? I have asked someone to investigate. She had been having an affair with someone for half a year, and after she got pregnant, she hoped that the man would marry her. She never thought of aborting the child. She just wanted to marry into a wealthy family with the child!"

"Mother, do you think your words are tenable? Apart from the palace, is there anyone in this world with a higher status than our Ning Wang Mansion? She didn't even want to marry me. She is not the kind of person who seeks power and wealth. She is the most noble and pure woman in this world! Mother, please don't slander her!"

"If she was noble and pure, she would not have committed adultery before marriage, let alone become pregnant with a bastard!"

The princess was furious: "For such a thing, you have already brought disgrace upon the entire palace. If you marry her again, your father and I will no longer be able to live in the capital! If you want to be the father of that bastard, you have to ask your father and I if we agree!"

Xiao Qingyuan's eyes were red: "She is already miserable. If I leave her, she will have no way to survive! She is kind-hearted, so she is reluctant to abort the child. After all, it is also a life!"

"If you continue to be stubborn, I don't mind letting those two lives, one big and one small, disappear!"

"Mother!"

"Get out, live a good life with the Crown Prince's wife, and have a child with her. I can tolerate that nun living."

"But I don't like her!"

"Do you think she likes you? The whole capital is laughing at you now. Do you think there are still women willing to marry you? If Shen Wantang wasn't forced to marry by her family, do you think she would choose a fool like you?"

The princess gritted her teeth and said, "Only your Yanluo is miserable in the world. She is the only one who is pitiful. Are others not pitiful? On the wedding day, you didn't lift the veil, didn't perform the husband-wife ceremony, and left the bride behind. You made her be talked about and laughed at by others. Are you not pitiful? What you did is no different from the man who caused Chu Yanluo to fall into her current situation?"

"Even so, have you ever heard Wan Tang complain? She knew that if she untied the rope for you, you would definitely leave her and go find Chu Yanluo, but she still helped you untie it. Isn't this generosity and broad-mindedness worthy of you treating her well?"
