Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang didn't care what Xiao Qingyuan thought of her. She was more concerned about her mother-in-law's condition. She took a piece of silk to wipe the blood off her mother-in-law's mouth and asked her softly, "Mother, do you feel better now?"

The princess nodded slightly, looked around, and quickly understood what was going on: "You saved me?"

Shen Wantang did not take credit for it. She said as she put away the needles, "I gave mother acupuncture and it made you wake up. Your condition was too critical just now, so I had to try it boldly. Fortunately, you woke up. Don't worry, my father has sent someone to invite the imperial physician, and he will be here soon."

The princess had the same reaction as everyone else: "You also know acupuncture?"

Shen Wantang answered cautiously: "I have learned a little."

After she collected all the needles, she stood up and stood aside. Nanny Quan helped the princess rinse her mouth and drink a bowl of ginseng soup.

At this time, the chief steward of the palace came hurriedly with the imperial physician.

The person who came was not the chief physician Zhou of the Imperial Medical Bureau whom Xiao Qingyuan wanted to see the most, but another physician Qin who usually treated Prince Ning and the princess. He was not good at gynecology, but good at internal medicine.

Doctor Qin felt the princess's pulse and looked solemn, "May I ask Your Majesty, before I came here, did I ask another doctor to treat the princess?"

Prince Ning glanced at Shen Wantang and said, "Indeed, someone has treated the princess and performed acupuncture, and the princess woke up now."

Doctor Qin nodded solemnly: "It is true! Fortunately, the treatment was timely, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. The princess has woken up now, but her pulse is so weak. If she hadn't been treated in time, I'm afraid she would have been seriously ill and it might even be difficult for the princess to wake up again."

Prince Ning was shocked and looked at Shen Wantang again.

The rest of the people in the room also looked at Shen Wantang. Only then did they finally understand how timely and important Shen Wantang's treatment was.

Doctor Qin felt a little strange when he saw that they were all looking at Shen Wantang, but he knew that she was the prince's new consort, so he didn't dare to look at her for too long.

After taking the pulse again, he went out, wrote a prescription, and left.

Before leaving, he said, "Your Highness, I dare not hide the fact that my medical skills may not be as good as the doctor you invited for the princess before. I cannot cure the princess's illness. I am afraid you still have to ask the doctor to continue to treat the princess. Maybe he can cure it and make the princess really better. Otherwise, the princess can only cultivate herself quietly and concentrate, and must not work hard, let alone get angry again."

After Doctor Qin left, everyone looked at Shen Wantang with respect.

Although Imperial Physician Qin is not as famous as Imperial Physician Zhou, his medical skills are also quite good, otherwise he would not have been treating King Ning all the time.

However, even he said that his medical skills were not as good as Shen Wantang’s, so how good must Shen Wantang’s medical skills be?

The palace really found a treasure this time. They originally thought that she was just a concubine's daughter of a small official, but they didn't expect that she was actually a hidden master of medical skills.

The princess even directly grabbed Shen Wantang's hand and said in a close tone: "Good child, this time thanks to you, otherwise I would not be able to survive. Tang'er, don't worry, as long as I am here, no one will dare to bully you again."

Shen Wantang smiled at her and said, "Thank you mother for taking care of me. It is my duty to treat you. In fact, it is because my father trusts me that I dare to do it. I am young and a girl. If I suddenly say that I want to give you acupuncture, anyone would think I am crazy."

Prince Ning didn't expect that he would be praised by his daughter-in-law. He didn't necessarily trust her, but his wife was in critical condition and her breathing was frighteningly weak. He didn't dare to delay, so he gritted his teeth and let Shen Wantang give her acupuncture.

He saw the princess looking at him and nodded to her: "I didn't think much about it. You didn't look very well just now, and Yuan'er opposed the princess giving you acupuncture. I thought that the things he opposed must be good, so I quickly asked the princess to do it."

The princess thought her husband's reasons were really funny, but she couldn't laugh.

This is the little tacit understanding she and the prince have reached in the past two years. As long as her son opposes something, it is basically a good thing, and anything her son likes is a bad thing.

She looked at her son, her eyes slightly cold: "Yuan'er, I believe that I gave birth to you and raised you, and I have never owed you anything. Why do you insist on killing me? Are I, your father, and the entire palace not as good as Chu Yanluo?"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned pale. "Mother, I never wanted you to die, and I didn't expect this to happen. I just like Yan Luo and feel sorry for her, so I want to take her home. I thought that you may look cold but you are actually soft-hearted, and you will let her stay in the palace for my sake."

After hearing this, the princess felt a chill in her heart.

Now she really doesn't know what's the point of raising a son. He is not as sensible and filial as her daughter-in-law.

She waved her hands tiredly: "I almost lost my life because of her. If it weren't for Tang'er, I would have probably gone to hell. So, I don't care how you get along with Chu Yanluo. Anyway, in my opinion, Tang'er is the only prince's consort in the Ning Palace, and she will be the only mistress in the future."

"Dr. Qin told me to rest, so starting tomorrow, the housekeeping power will be handed over to Tang'er. From now on, I will let her manage this family. Anyone who dares to disobey her will get out of the palace."

Xiao Qingyuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw his mother's pale face and her trembling hands, he swallowed his words.

He really loved Chu Yanluo, but he was not a playboy without any filial piety. It was impossible for him to not care about his mother's health.

What he wanted to find was a balance, a balance that would allow his mother and Chu Yanluo to get along well, rather than letting them fight to the death.

Soon, the princess lay down exhausted: "Everyone go out, I'm tired."

Shen Wantang bowed to her and retreated with Du Juan and Nanny Chai.

When she passed by Xiao Qingyuan, she didn't even look at him and walked straight past him.

As soon as she returned to her own yard, Nanny Quan arrived.

She held a box and handed it over respectfully: "Princess, this is the housekeeper's key and account book that the princess asked me to deliver. From tomorrow on, you will be the head of the household."

Shen Wantang hesitated: "Mammy, I can take care of mother's health, but mother should be the head of the household. After all, I just came in and I'm too young..."

Nanny Quan smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, Princess. Nanny Chai will do her best to assist you. If you have any questions, you can ask her. She is the princess's right-hand man, otherwise she would not have been sent to teach the prince. There is nothing in this palace that she doesn't know. With her around, you can rest assured to manage the household."

"If you are still worried, the princess also said that if you encounter difficulties, you can also ask the princess for help."
