Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

When Xiao Qingxi said this, Shen Wantang didn't react. She just smiled faintly, as if Xiao Qingxi was not mocking her. Her good attitude made Xiao Qingxi frown.

Xiao Qingyuan on the side was not happy: "Qingxi, are you scolding me in a roundabout way? What's dirty about that? I am just a woman named Yanluo, and I was forced to take a concubine!"

Xiao Qingxi despised him for being stupid, glared at him fiercely, and turned away.

If she didn't leave now, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but fight with Xiao Qingyuan before she could drive Shen Wantang away.

After she left, Xiao Qingyuan sighed deeply. He turned to look at Shen Wantang, wanting to apologize to her on behalf of his sister, but he saw that she still looked calm and indifferent, as if she didn't take Xiao Qingxi's words to heart at all.

He had no choice but to swallow his apology and asked something else: "I heard that you also went out to watch the army's triumphant return today?"

Shen Wantang nodded: "Yes."

"Why didn't you come with me? There are so many people here today. It's not safe for you to go out alone."

"I didn't know that the prince would also go to see it, so I made an appointment with Miss Gu in advance and brought a maid with me. I also booked a private room in Zuixianlou. I watched the whole thing with Miss Gu in Zuixianlou, so it was very safe."

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "You booked a private room at Zuixianlou? Didn't they say that all the restaurants on the main street were fully booked? How did you get it? Did you pay too much?"

"No, I just ordered it at the usual price. The young lady of Zuixianlou is quite familiar with me, so she probably didn't want to charge me more money."

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't help but frowned: "I am also familiar with the people in Qingyun Tower. Every time there is an event, they still ask me for the same amount of money. They have never taken less. This Zuixian Tower is different. I will go to Zuixian Tower in the future!"

Qin Xin, who was standing behind Shen Wantang, really wanted to say that the reason why the Crown Prince's Consort had such a big face in Zuixianlou was because she had helped Zuixianlou a lot. Now Zuixianlou almost begged the Crown Prince's Consort to go there. If it was the Crown Prince, it would probably not work.

But she opened her mouth but dared not say anything, for fear of upsetting the Crown Prince's wife.

Other people would exaggerate their one ability to the full and publicize it everywhere. But the Crown Prince's Consort is different. She has ten abilities but only shows one. She even wants to hide all her abilities. She is so low-key that it makes people anxious.

However, Xiao Qingyuan soon stopped worrying about Zuixianlou because he realized another problem: "Shen Wantang, why are you so close to Gu Qianning? Did you also see Gu Qianhan today?"

Shen Wantang did not hide it, because there was nothing to hide: "Yes, I saw it."

Xiao Qingyuan looked a little unhappy: "So, you were out all morning and were with him?"

Shen Wantang spoke slowly and calmly: "At first, I was drinking tea with him and Miss Gu in a private room, but then he went downstairs, and after that, he never came back."

Xiao Qingyuan realized that Shen Wantang should not have stayed with Gu Qianhan for long, because after seeing him, Gu Qianhan came out of the private room of Zuixianlou early and started to find fault.

Moreover, he now knew who Gu Qianhan was looking at when he kept looking up at Zuixianlou. He must be looking at Shen Wantang.

Gu Qianhan's desire to take revenge on him has not diminished. He is probably still thinking about how to alienate him and Shen Wantang.

Xiao Qingyuan thought for a while, and said seriously: "Stay away from Gu Qianhan next time, and don't be fooled by him. He hates me for ruining his reputation and his marriage, so he always wants to take revenge on me and take away all the women around me. No matter what he says in the future, don't believe it."

Shen Wantang looked at him in confusion, "My Lord, others don't know the relationship between you and me, but Second Young Master Gu comes here often, so he must know it. He would never steal any of your women, but me. After all, if he steals me, he's not taking revenge on you, he's helping you, isn't he?"

Xiao Qingyuan choked: "This..."

It seemed to be true. Gu Qianhan was sometimes trying to snatch Chu Yanluo, and sometimes thinking about Huayi, but he was really not thinking about Shen Wantang. At most, he just said a few words to alienate her, but when the attempt failed, he didn't say anything else.

Obviously, Gu Qianhan's mind was not on Shen Wantang, because he knew that Shen Wantang, the Crown Prince's Consort, was in name only.

If one day he starts to like Shen Wantang and Gu Qianhan finds out, Gu Qianhan will really start to snatch her away. As for now, Gu Qianhan probably still wants to snatch Hua Yi.

"Don't worry, my lord. I won't be fooled by others. I am different from Aunt Chu. I am the lord's legal wife and the prince's consort of Prince Ning's mansion. This is my best destination. I will stay here forever."

Shen Wantang revealed Xiao Qingyuan's concerns in one sentence, which made Xiao Qingyuan feel a little embarrassed.

He couldn't help but blame Chu Yanluo in his heart. It was all her fault. She ran away with Gu Qianhan, making him unable to hold his head up in front of Shen Wantang.

However, Shen Wantang's words did comfort him. He believed that Shen Wantang would not do the same thing as Chu Yanluo. After all, what she said was the truth. Prince Ning's Mansion was indeed her best destination.

He nodded randomly and turned away.

Finally, all the strangers left. Shen Wantang felt relieved. She told Madam Chai, "Madam, set the table. I'm starving. I want an extra bowl of rice for lunch today!"

Aunt Chai wanted to give her a thumbs up. She had an incredibly good attitude. Her sister-in-law made a fuss and her husband said a lot of nonsense, but she was not affected at all. Her appetite was even better.

Since the master has a good attitude, Nanny Chai's attitude will naturally improve as well. No matter what happens, the master can handle it with ease.

She smiled as she served Shen Wantang lunch, waited on her until she finished her meal, and then served her a glass of her favorite Dahongpao before leaving.

Shen Wantang was drinking tea and reading a book, feeling a little drowsy.

She was just about to go to bed for a nap when she saw Qin Xin walking in hurriedly.

Shen Wantang rubbed his face: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Qin Xin said, "Princess, the princess is making a scene in her own courtyard again. She overturned the lunch, smashed all the vases and other things in the room, and even threw out the brand new bedding you asked the servants to prepare for her."

"She was smashing and throwing things while cursing at you, saying that the things you prepared for her were very poor and that you were deliberately targeting her."

Shen Wantang felt a headache: "Why is she still making trouble? Isn't she hungry? As a princess, doesn't she take a nap?"

Her sister-in-law is really full of energy! It turns out that she was raised healthy by the princess since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to get tired.
