Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Day two.

Shen Wantang heard about what happened last night early in the morning.

After Qin Xin finished reporting everything in detail, she said with a bit of joy on her face: "Princess, the prince didn't stay in Aunt Chu's courtyard last night. I guess his feelings for Aunt Chu are getting weaker and weaker. He must have discovered that Aunt Chu is not good. Moreover, the prince ran to our courtyard as soon as he woke up. It is obvious that he still values ​​you the most!"

Shen Wantang didn't feel that Xiao Qingyuan valued her much, and it didn't matter whether he valued her or not. It was enough for her as long as her mother-in-law valued her.

Just as she finished this thought, she heard Madam Chai say, "Princess, the prince is here."

She turned around and saw Xiao Qingyuan walking in wearing a moon-white brocade robe that was neither new nor old.

Because Princess Ning had cut off his monthly salary, and also his clothes and shoes, in order to force him to bow his head.

He now wears old clothes.

However, he was born with a handsome face and impeccable features, so even if he wore old clothes, it would not affect his temperament at all.

"Shen Wantang."

Xiao Qingyuan cleared his throat and said a little uncomfortably: "I want to borrow some money from you."

Shen Wantang looked at him calmly: "How much does the prince want?"

"Give me one thousand taels first!"

Shen Wantang nodded: "Dujuan, get the banknotes for the prince."

Du Juan reluctantly took the banknote and handed it to Xiao Qingyuan.

Xiao Qingyuan took the banknote and couldn't help asking her, "You didn't even ask me what I wanted the money for, and just gave it to me directly?"

"Given the prince's personality, he would not come to me to borrow money easily. Since he came to borrow money, it must be of great use, so I don't need to ask too much. Just remember to pay the debt back later."

"Don't worry, I will pay you back the money I owe you. I borrowed the money because I wanted to hire a doctor for Yan Luo. She is sick."

Qin Xin and Du Juan both widened their eyes in shock.

Hiring a doctor for Chu Yanluo? Is it worth spending a thousand taels of silver? Is this hiring a doctor or a god?

Shen Wantang didn't look surprised at all. Instead, she felt that Xiao Qingyuan didn't understand the rules of the inner house and suffered a loss.

Logically speaking, since Chu Yanluo is already his concubine, she belongs to the Ning Wang Mansion. Her food, clothing and other expenses are naturally taken care of by the palace. If she is sick and needs to see a doctor, the palace should also pay for it.

However, it was reasonable for Xiao Qingyuan to spend his own money to hire a royal physician for his concubine, so Shen Wantang naturally wouldn't say anything more.

"Mrs. Chu is a blessed woman. With the prince caring for her so much, I believe she will get better soon. However, it won't cost so much money to hire a doctor. Don't be fooled, prince."

"My one thousand taels of silver are not only for hiring a doctor for Yanluo, but also for other purposes."

As for what it was used for, Xiao Qingyuan refused to say.

Because he wanted to use the money to help Ye Lingyun to build some connections so that he could get her father out of prison first, and then send someone to find her brother and bring him back safely.

He didn't say anything, and Shen Wantang didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, no matter where Xiao Qingyuan went now, he would be followed by the guards from the palace.

"By the way, Yanluo's clothes are too thin, ask someone to send her some thicker clothes!"

"Didn't the prince say that she only wears white clothes and no other colors? There is no one wearing white clothes in the mansion."

Xiao Qingyuan frowned slightly: "It's okay, any color is fine, just ask someone to send it to her. If she still refuses to wear it, then that's her own problem."

The weather is so cold, if Chu Yanluo still insists on wearing that thin white coat and freezes herself to death, then that is not being aloof and arrogant, but being stubborn and stupid and overestimating one's own abilities.

He looked down at the moon-white robe on himself and suddenly felt that the robe was unpleasant to the eye.

In the past, in order to match with Chu Yanluo, he asked someone to make white clothes for him, but now he feels that this color is just so-so.

"Then do as the prince said. I will ask someone to send clothes to Aunt Chu."

"Okay, you...have worked hard."

After Xiao Qingyuan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing him leave, Qin Xin quickly asked Shen Wantang, "Prince Consort, are we really going to send new clothes to Concubine Chu?"

"Of course I will give it to you."

"Wouldn't that be a waste for her?"

Shen Wantang smiled softly, "It's just a few pieces of clothing. What's so cheap about it? She is the prince's concubine now. If we don't even make a piece of clothing for her, won't outsiders laugh at me for being stingy? We can't really let her wear only a thin white dress every day. Apart from anything else, if Father and Mother see her, they will find it annoying. So, let's ask her to change her clothes!"

"I understand. I will take someone to give her some clothes right away."

"Well, let's go!"

As soon as Qin Xin left, a servant came in swiftly.

He did not dare to look up, and after bowing respectfully, he whispered, "My Lady, the Crown Prince sent someone to invite the imperial physician, and he left the palace immediately, and he brought Miss Ye with him."

Shen Wantang now knew what Xiao Qingyuan had borrowed the one thousand taels of silver for. However, if he wanted to help Ye Lingyun rescue her, one thousand taels was far from enough.

She said calmly: "Dujuan, reward."

Dujuan immediately stepped forward and stuffed a handful of silver ingots into the boy's hand.

The servant thanked him again and again with joy, then left briskly.

Du Juan said worriedly, "Princess, the prince is going to help Miss Ye rescue her father. I heard from Qin Xin that Miss Ye's father is a corrupt official. Is it really good for the prince to run around for such a person? Won't it cause trouble for you and the palace?"

"No, don't worry."

Shen Wantang said calmly, "The prince must be eager for the prince to take Miss Ye out right now!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because there is a trick called catching big fish with a long line. The prince is now the line, and Miss Ye is the bait. Just wait and see, it shouldn't be long before the case of County Magistrate Ye's corruption is solved and successfully closed."

Du Juan was confused by what she heard, but since it looked like the prince would not bring harm to his master and the palace, she felt relieved.

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Xin came back.

"Princess, I have brought new clothes to Concubine Chu."

"Well, is she wearing it?"

"She refused to wear it, she didn't even look at it!"

Shen Wantang couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that Chu Yanluo's pride was probably used in the wrong place.

Xiao Qingyuan is no longer as infatuated with her as before. His mind has begun to turn to other women, but Chu Yanluo is still stubbornly guarding her image of a fairy in white.

This trick was useful for Xiao Qingyuan in the past, but not so useful for Xiao Qingyuan now.

It’s time for Chu Yanluo to try a new trick, the white clothes have lost their effect.

As she was thinking, Nanny Quan beside Princess Ning came in and said, "Princess, the princess wants you to go to her courtyard. The princess is back."
