Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Du Juan's eyes widened: "Ah? No consummation of the marriage?"

"Yes, no."

"This……"

Du Juan choked up, and after a while, she said, "No wonder Madam Chai said something was wrong. Did she see that you didn't consummate your marriage?"

Shen Wantang nodded. Nanny Chai was married and had two children, so she could naturally tell whether they had really consummated their marriage. However, although Nanny Chai saw through it, she still helped her cover it up.

Because for her, as the Crown Prince's Consort, consummating the marriage can shut up many people, which is beneficial to her. As long as it is beneficial to her, Madam Chai will spare no effort to help her.

Du Juan felt it was not worth it for her: "Crown Princess, you are wronged to marry the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is really too much! You should teach him a lesson. He can't go on like this. You are the mistress of the house. How can he be so disrespectful to you!"

Shen Wantang smiled and said, "The prince's idea of ​​taking Chu Yanluo as a concubine is not new. He wanted to marry her before. Didn't we know that a long time ago? I am very lucky to be able to marry into the palace. We shouldn't be too greedy."

"How can this be considered greed? The prince is your husband, he should treat you well! Even if he wants to take a concubine, you should give your approval. Now he lives in a separate courtyard from you and takes a concubine. How will people outside view you?"

Shen Wantang restrained his smile and sighed slightly.

It seems that people are all the same. Insatiable desires are a common problem. Many people do not understand the principle of knowing when to stop, or even if they do, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to actually do it.

Before she got married, Du Juan was very happy. She felt that even if Xiao Qingyuan had a lover, it would be a great blessing for her to marry into the palace.

But what about now? This girl had already forgotten her original state of mind, and began to make demands on Xiao Qingyuan and wanted to beat Xiao Qingyuan.

"Du Juan, we can't have too high expectations of others. The only thing we can do is to stick to our own heart."

Du Juan was confused: "Princess, what do you mean?"

"I just want the status of the Crown Prince's Consort and the power of housekeeper. Xiao Qingyuan's heart didn't belong to me before, and I won't want it in the future. So, let him favor whichever woman he wants. Don't lose yourself over such a small matter, and don't get angry because he favors other women. It's not worth it."

Dujuan's expression changed from confusion to complexity.

She looked at Shen Wantang, admiring her calmness and rationality, yet inexplicably felt sad. Her young lady had suffered too much in the past, so she was sober now. Her biological mother died early, her father was unreliable, her stepmother treated her harshly, her sister suppressed her, and even the nanny in the mansion could give her a cold shoulder. She had never had a good day.

Now that she is married, she is not angry even though her husband is unreliable, and she is not jealous at all even though her husband has other women.

If someone else encountered this situation, not crying would be the least of their worries.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, there were still strong winds, heavy rain, lightning and thunder.

Shen Wantang ignored the bad weather and went to pay her respects to Princess Ning.

Princess Ning was in a low mood today. After meeting Shen Wantang, she asked Nanny Quan to give her a waist badge.

Shen Wantang took it and looked at it. On the waist badge made of pure gold, there was a big word "御" engraved.

"Mother, what are you doing..."

"Tang'er, this is a badge bestowed by His Majesty. The prince and I each have one. From today on, mine is yours. With this badge, you can enter and leave the palace freely without any hindrance. Even if you want to see His Majesty, you only need to ask the chief eunuch."

Shen Wantang held the badge in her hand and suddenly felt that it weighed a thousand pounds. "Mother, my daughter-in-law is young and immature, and there is no important matter for her to enter the palace to see the emperor. You should keep the badge. If something really happens, my daughter-in-law will definitely enter the palace with you, and there will be no need for this."

"Just take it. My health is getting worse day by day, and I can't take care of too many things. Yuan'er has lost his mind because of a vixen. There will be trouble in the mansion in the future. If you have this badge, you can go to the palace to ask for help at the critical moment."

Shen Wantang said hurriedly: "Mother, don't say that. I'll prescribe some more medicine for you. If you take good care of yourself, you will definitely live a long life!"

Princess Ning felt somewhat relieved to see how filial she was.

She showed a little smile on her face: "Of course I can still live, but my energy is not as good as before, so I have to rely on you in the future. Keep the badge, because even Qingyuan doesn't have it."

Shen Wantang hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the badge.

She had just put away her badge when the curtain was lifted and Xiao Qingyuan walked in with Chu Yanluo.

The smile on Princess Ning's face disappeared instantly. She took a look at the two people's tightly clasped hands and felt sick to her heart.

It would be fine if they were holding hands outside, but now he is right in front of her and he is still so affectionate. Does he want to disgust her to death, or does he want to disgust Shen Wantang to death?

Princess Ning thought of this and was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be angry, so she quickly glanced at her. Then she found that Shen Wantang seemed much calmer than her. Her bastard son walked in so intimately with a vixen, but Shen Wantang's expression did not change at all. She was calm and composed as if she didn't see anything.

Shen Wantang was indeed very calm at this moment, because she had already had psychological expectations. Today, even if Xiao Qingyuan came in carrying Chu Yanluo, she would not have any psychological fluctuations.

They were true love in their previous life, so it is natural that it is the same in this life.

As long as Chu Yanluo doesn't instigate Xiao Qingyuan to make Princess Ning so angry that she vomits blood like Mu Ge did, Shen Wantang will allow her to live in Prince Ning's Mansion.

After all, driving Chu Yanluo away is not as simple as driving Mu Ge away. Xiao Qingyuan loves her deeply, and it would cost a lot to drive Chu Yanluo away.

"Mother, I brought Yanluo to pay my respects to you."

Xiao Qingyuan held Chu Yanluo's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would be taken away. "It just so happens that the Crown Prince's wife is here, so I will tell her that I plan to take Yanluo as my concubine. From now on, she is my woman, and my only woman."

Princess Ning had expected something in her heart. She sneered and said, "You can enter the palace to be a concubine, but once you enter, you must abide by the rules!"

Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "What rules does mother want her to follow? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass her?"

"I'm making things difficult for her? Does she deserve it?"

Princess Ning said coldly: "A concubine should act like a concubine. The mistress of the house is here. She is just a concubine. Shouldn't she kneel down and serve tea to the mistress? Only when the mistress drinks her concubine tea, she can be considered a real concubine. Otherwise, she is nothing!"
