Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

The night passed quickly.

The next day, Shen Wantang was still having breakfast when Qin Xin rushed in and said excitedly, "Prince's Consort, you guessed it right. Aunt Chu didn't want those two clothes!"

Shen Wantang nodded: "Yes."

"Who do you think the prince gave those two pieces of clothing to? He gave them to Huayi! Aunt Chu thinks the prince is partial and is crying in his courtyard right now. It's so lively!"

Shen Wantang remained calm: "Really? Did you give it to Hua Yi?"

Qin Xin was a little surprised: "Princess, why don't you seem surprised? Have you guessed that the prince would give the clothes to Huayi?"

"Last night I asked the prince if he wanted to persuade Aunt Chu to give up the white clothes. He answered vaguely. At that time I knew that he might not be giving those two clothes to Aunt Chu. There was no one else in his courtyard. Aunt Chu and Huayi are not much different in figure. If Aunt Chu doesn't want the clothes, Huayi will be suitable to wear them."

Qin Xin listened to her calm tone, but felt in her heart that maybe the Crown Prince's wife had not guessed the result when the Crown Prince gave an ambiguous response. In fact, when she asked someone to prepare Aunt Chu's clothes, she had already guessed that the clothes would fall into Huayi's hands.

Therefore, the Crown Prince's wife specially asked someone to pick out two sets of clothes with good materials and patterns.

If it was really for Chu Yanluo, the Crown Prince's Consort would not have picked such good clothes. She was not the kind of person who would give others benefits after being insulted and provoked.

Qin Xin's expression became extremely respectful. The Crown Prince's wife was not a pushover. She had plenty of ways to control the concubines who wanted to take advantage of her. As a maid, she felt relieved.

"Princess, you said yesterday that you would put Concubine Chu under house arrest, but she ran away from Qingwu Courtyard today. Should we send someone to take her back?"

"Of course we have to take her back, but you should go to the courtyard of the deceased master and wait until she has made enough noise before taking her back."

"Yes."

Qin Xin responded and walked out.

Shen Wantang watched her leave with a calm expression.

Only when Xiao Qingyuan can no longer bear Chu Yanluo's trouble, will Xiao Qingyuan support her order to confine Chu Yanluo to her house, so that she can better establish rules in the palace in the future.

No matter what, Xiao Qingyuan is the eldest son of Prince Ning's Mansion. If he keeps contradicting her, she will lose face.

Therefore, she could only find a way to make Xiao Qingyuan support her approach.

Xingheyuan.

Chu Yanluo’s face was as pale as a ghost, but she was still scolding Xiao Qingyuan with tears streaming down her face.

"What did you promise me when you asked me to be your concubine? You said I would be your only concubine in the future, and you said you would treat me well and that you would not have other women in the future!"

"It's only been a few days? You've forgotten everything! Now you only have this green tea maid in your heart and eyes. You even want to give her the clothes that Shen Wantang gave me! Xiao Qingyuan, you are really going too far. You have no humanity!"

"Did you sleep with her last night while I was away? Are you planning to take her as your concubine next? Then what am I? Xiao Qingyuan, tell me, what am I!"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned pale: "Chu Yanluo, you don't want to live a peaceful life, right? You are really good at making up stories and blaming others. Huayi and I are innocent, there is nothing wrong at all, but you insisted on accusing me of sleeping with her. When did you become so sarcastic? I also asked you about those two sets of clothes, and you said you didn't like them and would never wear them, so I gave them to Huayi!"

Chu Yanluo cried even harder: "You can't give her clothes that I don't want anymore! You said I became sarcastic, but you became cold and impatient? You never talked to me like this before, and you wouldn't care so much about other women and ask for new clothes for her every day!"

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her crying, his eyes swept over her clothes and long hair, and he couldn't help frowning.

Her clothes had turned yellow and wrinkled from being washed. When she wore them, she no longer had the cool and ethereal air she once had.

Her long hair hadn't been washed for several days and was tangled and messy. It was no longer flowing and smooth as before, but had become dry and dull.

She was thin with prominent cheekbones, deep eye sockets, scars on her face, bloodstains on her neck. Coupled with her pale complexion and dark shadows under her eyes, she didn't look like a fairy anymore. Instead, she looked like a man-eating female ghost who had just crawled out of a coffin.

Xiao Qingyuan instantly lost the mood to argue with her and became bored: "Alright, stop making trouble. Shen Wantang said that you need to rest now. You shouldn't come out and make trouble, otherwise your body will be in trouble. Go back to Qingwu Courtyard and take good care of yourself. When you have recovered, I will explain the matter of Huayi to you."

Chu Yanluo suddenly burst into laughter, and tears flowed as she laughed: "Xiao Qingyuan, I've only been here for a quarter of an hour, and you're so impatient to drive me away. What, you have a new love, so you want to kick me away? I won't leave, I want to see how you can have an affair with your green tea maid in front of me! I want to catch you in the act!"

"I told you that Huayi and I are innocent, why don't you believe me? Who are you trying to catch? Are you crazy?"

"Xiao Qingyuan, you still dare to quibble? What's that on her neck? Isn't that the mark left by your lovemaking?"

As Chu Yanluo spoke, he rushed to Huayi and ripped open her collar, revealing a red mark on her neck.

Huayi stepped back in panic and pulled her clothes back on. She looked at Xiao Qingyuan with tears in her eyes: "Prince..."

Xiao Qingyuan stepped forward and blocked her behind him. He looked at Chu Yanluo coldly: "Do you think I am the same because you have sex with men casually? I said that Huayi and I are innocent, and I am innocent! The red marks on her neck are rashes. They are caused by the ointment I gave her. Are you satisfied?"

Chu Yanluo was shocked and angry: "Xiao Qingyuan, you finally admitted that you don't like me now. You like this green tea maid! You have perfume and don't give it to me, but give it to her! Why do you treat me like this? For you, I have wronged myself to be a concubine, but you fell in love with someone else so quickly. Don't you have any conscience at all?"

Her voice was so sharp that Xiao Qingyuan felt pain in his ears.

He became impatient: "I made the ointment myself according to the ancient recipe. I made it for you before, but you said you never use these things. You have never touched the ointment I gave you. Now, you are starting to blame me?"

"Do you have the right to blame me? I made the ointment, and I can give it to anyone I want. Even if I had physical contact with my maid, it is not your turn to teach me a lesson!"

"Shen Wantang is my legal wife, Xiao Qingyuan. She hasn't said anything yet. What right do you, a concubine, have to speak?"

"Go back to your Qingwu Courtyard, and don't make me say it a third time!"
