Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Although Xiao Qingyuan was a little uneasy in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He comforted Princess Ning, "Don't worry, mother. County Magistrate Ye was released so easily, which means he must have been framed. He will be fine, so it doesn't matter even if he stays in the palace for two days."

Princess Ning almost cried: "You also know that he was released too easily? Then can't you think about it again, with your own strength, can you get people out of prison so easily? Do you think the Ministry of Justice prison is our home? You can take whoever you want away?"

"No one else helped Ye Lingyun. How come Gu Qianhan knew how to avoid such a woman? Why do you have to pity her and help her? She and County Magistrate Ye are a big trap. Do you understand?"

"What are you still doing here? Go find your father!"

Xiao Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, turned and left.

Xiao Qingxi couldn't help but ask, "Mother, has my brother gotten into trouble again? Who is Ye Lingyun? What's going on with County Magistrate Ye?"

Princess Ning then told the story of County Magistrate Ye and Ye Lingyun, and at the end she said, "Your brother is good in every way, but he is too soft-hearted and kind, and can be easily taken advantage of."

Xiao Qingxi stood up suddenly: "So she is a woman with ulterior motives! Before I was away, I allowed these evil spirits to deceive my brother. Now that I am back, I want to see who dares to take advantage of my brother!"

After she finished speaking, she walked out with her head held high.

Princess Ning hurriedly called out to her, "Qingxi, what are you doing? Come back soon! Don't get involved in this matter!"

However, Xiao Qingxi didn't listen at all and just left.

Princess Ning couldn't help but sigh, "No one is worry-free. I thought Qingxi would become more stable after two years of experience in the northwest, but I didn't expect him to be as impulsive as before."

Nanny Quan comforted her: "The princess has been spoiled by you and the prince since she was a child, so she is naturally more straightforward than others. Moreover, the princess is still young. Although she is married, she is still a child. Princess, please don't be too harsh on her."

"Alas, she is already seventeen, not young anymore, and should be sensible. Look at Tang'er, she is younger than Qingxi, but she is steady and manages the huge palace in an orderly manner. If Qingxi can be half as capable as Tang'er in the future, I will be satisfied."

Nanny Quan sighed slightly. The Crown Prince's Consort lost her mother when she was very young and had no one to love and protect her, but she had become sensible very early on.

On the other side, Xiao Qingxi had already brought people to block Ye Lingyun's way.

"Are you Ye Lingyun? Where is your corrupt father? Where is he hiding?"

Seeing her arrogant and domineering appearance, Ye Lingyun couldn't help but ask her: "Who are you?"

When she asked this question, the two maids beside her, Honglian and Ziteng, had already bowed their heads and saluted respectfully: "This servant greets the princess!"

Ye Lingyun's pupils suddenly shrank. Princess?

No wonder she felt that she looked somewhat similar to Xiao Qingyuan. Could she be Xiao Qingyuan's sister?

Xiao Qingxi sneered disdainfully: "What are you looking at? Why don't you show respect to me when you see me?"

Ye Lingyun has experienced all the ups and downs of life these days. Now that she knows Xiao Qingxi's identity, she naturally dares not offend him.

She quickly bowed: "Greetings, Princess."

"Stop pretending here. Don't think I don't know that you are a sinister and treacherous liar. You tricked my brother into saving your father for you, and you shamelessly moved into our palace. How can you be so shrewd?"

"Princess, my father was wrongly accused!"

"Stop talking nonsense, take your corrupt official father with you, and get out of the palace! I'm telling you, I'm not my brother, I won't be sympathetic to women, if you don't get out, I'll have someone kick you out!"

"Princess, my father has gone to the prince and is discussing something with him. I will leave after they finish talking."

"What? Not only did you deceive my brother, but now you want to deceive my father? This is outrageous! Someone, hurry up and kick her out. This shameless thing is a pollutant in the palace!"

However, the maids and servants all lowered their heads, and no one followed Xiao Qingxi's orders.

Xiao Qingxi was immediately furious: "You bunch of dogs and slaves, I've only been away from home for two years, and I can't order you around when I come back? Believe it or not, I'll ask mother to sell you all!"

A maid stepped forward and said, "Princess, you are now the housekeeper of the Crown Prince's Consort. The Crown Prince's Consort has instructed that Miss Ye is someone brought back by the Crown Prince, so you must take good care of her. Without the Crown Prince's Consort's order, we dare not drive Miss Ye away at will."

Xiao Qingxi gritted her teeth in anger: "Okay, so it turns out that Shen Wantang is showing off her power as the Crown Prince's Consort! Who the hell is she? A concubine's daughter is not qualified to be in charge of my Ning Wang Mansion!"

"Where does she live? Lead the way! I will kick Shen Wantang and this Ye guy out of the palace today!"

The maid didn't dare to disobey her order and could only lead her.

When they arrived at Wutong Garden, Xiao Qingxi kicked open the door of the courtyard, scaring all the maids inside.

She walked into the yard and said rudely, "Shen Wantang, get out here!"

When Shen Wantang heard her voice, the smile on her face faded. She turned to Madam Chai and said, "Please come in, Princess."

Madam Chai walked out of the room and approached Xiao Qingxi: "The princess is back. The princess invites you to come in and talk."

Xiao Qingxi turned around and said, "Madam Chai, aren't you my brother's nanny? Why are you here to serve Shen Wantang? You don't really think of her as your master, do you? With her, can she be my brother's prince consort? Is she worthy?"

"My princess, you don't know that the prince had driven me out of the palace before, but the princess brought me back. After the prince got married, the princess assigned me to the prince's wife, so the prince's wife is now my master."

Nanny Chai was neither humble nor arrogant. She extended her hand and said, "Princess, please. The Crown Prince's Consort is waiting for you inside."

Xiao Qingxi snorted coldly: "Go ahead and come in. She won't dare to do anything to me even if she goes in! This is my home, not Shen Wantang's home!"

She raised her chin and walked into the house with a cold face.

Shen Wantang raised his eyes and looked at her: "The princess is here, but do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Shen Wantang, I don't recognize you as my sister-in-law, and my brother doesn't recognize you as the Crown Prince's Consort. It's not your turn to be the housekeeper of our Ning Palace! Get out of our palace right now!"

"Princess, I was married into the palace by three matchmakers, six betrothals, and eight sedan chairs. The government also issued a marriage certificate with a seal. It's useless for the princess to say she doesn't recognize me."

"Humph, it's useless for me to disown you, but it's useful for my brother to disown you, right? My brother doesn't even think highly of you. He hates people like you the most. Get out of here!"

"It's useless for the prince to say he doesn't recognize me. After all, I am the wife he personally married back."

Shen Wantang said calmly, "Besides, the prince hasn't disowned me yet. On the contrary, he only recognizes me as his consort."
