Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

The princess certainly knew that the Shen family did not take Shen Wantang, a concubine's daughter, seriously. She had her eyes on this one at first, but her stepmother Qi insisted that Shen Wantang already had an engagement.

She then had to settle for the second best and chose Shen Mingxuan, the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

But later, Qi shamelessly said that she did not dare to go against the wishes of the palace, and had canceled Shen Wantang's marriage proposal, so she could marry into the palace.

The princess was originally very angry about Qi's constant switching of wives, but she really liked Shen Wantang. She had been searching for a long time but couldn't find one who looked as much like Chu Yanluo as she did, and she didn't want to miss out on a daughter-in-law who might help her son settle down because of Qi.

So, she finally agreed to change back to Shen Wantang.

But from that time on, she hated Qi very much.

Looking at Shen Wantang's appearance now, it seems that she has no attachment to the Shen family at all. She seems quite happy that the visit ended so quickly.

This is good, because in this way the daughter-in-law can stay in the palace wholeheartedly and live with her son wholeheartedly.

She likes to stay in the palace wholeheartedly and treat it as her own daughter-in-law, so that she can rest assured to hand over the palace to her to manage in the future.

After talking for a while, the princess gave Shen Wantang a bunch of gifts. Seeing that she left happily, she showed a long-lost smile on her face: "The princess is well-behaved and cheerful. She always has a smile on her face, as if there is nothing in the world that bothers her. She is generous and open-minded, and even my mood has become open-minded."

Ever since Xiao Qingyuan fell in love with Chu Yanluo, the princess hadn't smiled for a long time. Now that she smiled again, all the maids breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "What the princess said is very true. The prince's wife has a special temperament that can make people calm and open-minded. You have picked up a treasure this time. The prince's wife is like this. She is the nemesis of the prince."

The princess nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Where is the prince? Why is it that only the prince's wife came back, but he didn't come back?"

"I will go and ask now."

Nanny Quan went out and came back after a while: "My princess, the prince was very sleepy and fell asleep in the carriage. Your Majesty was reluctant to wake him up, so I came to pay my respects to you myself."

The princess knew that her son had been kept awake by her husband these past two days, so it was inevitable that he would feel sleepy: "The princess is considerate of that bastard, but it's a pity that the bastard doesn't know how to be considerate of the princess."

"Don't be anxious, Princess. We have just gotten married, and the Crown Prince has not come to his senses yet. He will be considerate of you in the future."

"I hope so. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope he can live a normal life. I'm afraid he will insist on his own way and become a monk and live with that nun for the rest of his life."

On the other side, Shen Wantang returned to her yard, took a short rest, changed into more comfortable clothes, took the key and led people to Xiao Qingyuan's warehouse.

Madam Chai followed beside her and said in surprise and joy, "The prince actually gave the key to his private vault to the princess. It is obvious that he has feelings for her. This vault is full of his treasures, and he does not allow anyone to enter without permission."

Shen Wantang just smiled shyly and said nothing.

Even if Xiao Qingyuan grew another heart, it would not contain Shen Wantang. It would only contain Chu Yanluo.

The door of the warehouse opened, Shen Wantang walked in, and was dazzled by the various rare treasures.

She had seen a lot of good things in her previous life, but compared with what is here, it is nothing.

As expected, one has to marry into a wealthy family. The starting point of a wealthy family is something that children from poor families can never achieve even if they work hard all their lives.

In her previous life, she had put all her efforts into planning for Liao Youhe, playing two roles by herself, and took great pains to push Liao Youhe to the position of Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, but she had just touched the threshold of wealth and honor.

And now, she had just married and was already living in a wealthy home without having to do anything.

Shen Wantang did not touch any of the rare items in the storehouse, but picked out some common items made of pure gold and asked Matron Chai and Du Juan to take them away.

Those rare items are actually difficult to sell, but gold can be melted and sold, so she has the capital to open shops all over Dafeng.

Things that could only be done five years later in the previous life can now be done in this life.

However, she still needed Madam Chai's help to cover up the matter of spending Xiao Qingyuan's money, so she was not stingy and directly gave her the gold bracelet inlaid with five-colored tourmaline that Madam Chai had been staring at.

Madam Chai was flattered: "No, Princess, this is too valuable!"

Shen Wantang stuffed the gold bracelet into her hand: "Mammy, I heard that you took care of the prince when he was a child, and he still respects you very much, so I don't think he would be stingy with such a bracelet. Look, there are many more here!"

Money is a great temptation. Although Nanny Chai refused it, she loved the bracelet to death. She had been a slave in the palace all her life, but she didn't want her descendants to be slaves all their lives as well.

If you want to be a superior person, you must have money. Without money, all your plans are empty talk.

She squeezed the bracelet tightly and said in a more respectful tone than before: "Thank you, Princess. I will serve you and the prince wholeheartedly in the future."

What this meant was that she had already put Shen Wantang before Xiao Qingyuan.

After all, it was Shen Wantang who gave her the things, not Xiao Qingyuan.

Shen Wantang was very satisfied with Nanny Chai's attitude. She looked at the gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse and almost laughed out loud.

That's great. She can use Xiao Qingyuan's things to buy over Madam Chai's heart. She doesn't have to spend a penny but gains a loyal heart. This deal is a good deal no matter how you think about it.

After moving some things back from the warehouse, Shen Wantang secretly gave Du Juan a gold bracelet.

It’s not as gorgeous as the one that Aunt Chai owns, but it’s heavier than that one.

Du Juan's eyes were filled with tears, and she knelt down immediately: "Princess, you...you are so kind to me. I will serve you like a cow or a horse in this life, the next life, and the next life after that to repay you!"

Shen Wantang personally helped her up and wiped away her tears with the silk handkerchief: "If there is a next life, don't be a slave. Become a lady from a wealthy family!"

In the past, she didn't believe that people had an afterlife, but now she really has one.

So, maybe there will be some for cuckoo too.

Shen Wantang's courtyard was filled with joy all day long because she also rewarded the other maids and servants.

Now they all wanted to please her.

In the evening, Shen Wantang had just finished dinner and was reading a book.

The head maid Qin Xin hurried in from outside and said solemnly, "Princess, the prince went out earlier and just came back, but he didn't come back alone. He brought back the girl who was a nun in Jixin Temple!"

When the people around heard this, they all exclaimed: "What? The prince brought that person back?!"

"How is this possible! Didn't she say long ago that she wanted to be a nun in a nunnery for the rest of her life?"

"The prince and princess also agreed to let the person in? Didn't they kick him out?"

"That girl is pregnant with a bastard. How can the prince be so foolish? Isn't it better to live a good life with the prince's wife?"
