Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chu Yanluo endured the pain and climbed up from the bed: "Sir, are you just not going to care about me? I've been wronged so much, won't you help me teach the princess a lesson?"

"You still know that she is a princess? Then why do you want to provoke her? Even I had to endure the injustices I suffered from her, let alone you! You will only take the beating today in vain. Be more tolerant in the future and don't offend her."

Chu Yanluo was not convinced: "But when the princess went to trouble Shen Wantang, you didn't deal with it like this. You spoke up for the princess on Shen Wantang's behalf. You obviously could have taken care of her. Why did you ask me to be patient when it came to me? Why didn't you ask Shen Wantang to be patient!"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned cold: "How can the situation be the same? Shen Wantang did nothing wrong, not to mention that she is the Crown Prince's Consort whom I married in a formal ceremony. Qingxi is just making trouble for her out of reason. Shen Wantang is right, so naturally I can say a few words to Qingxi."

"What about you? Are you right? Not only are you not right, but you're also handing your own handle to Qingxi, causing me to lose face with you!"

After Xiao Qingyuan finished speaking, he walked out.

Chu Yanluo panicked and hurriedly shouted behind him: "I'm injured, can't the prince stay here with me!"

Xiao Qingyuan paused, and finally said, "I'll go get you some medicine."

Chu Yanluo's eyes sparkled with hope: "So the prince will come back later?"

Xiao Qingyuan didn't say anything, he just walked away.

He went to Wutong Garden.

Only after he got there did he realize that Shen Wantang had the habit of taking a nap and was currently sleeping.

He hesitated for a moment, walked into the inner room, then sat beside the bed and watched her sleep.

Qin Xin and Du Juan looked at each other in surprise when they saw this scene.

What was the prince going to do? Didn't he refuse to even enter this room before? Normally, even if the princess was awake, he would just say a few words and leave. But today, the princess was asleep, but he didn't leave?

Du Juan felt that this was extremely inappropriate. Although the Crown Prince and his wife were husband and wife, they were not in actual marriage. If the Crown Princess knew that the Crown Prince was looking at her like this while she was sleeping, she would probably be unhappy.

She took a step forward and was about to wake up Shen Wantang, but Xiao Qingyuan raised his hand to stop her: "No need to wake her up, just let her sleep. She is tired of managing such a big palace and everyone in the palace is troublesome."

Dujuan was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

The sun rose from the west? The prince knew that everyone in the mansion was troublesome? He knew that it was not easy to be a housekeeper for the prince's wife?

Just looking at the mess in Prince Ning's Mansion, anyone with a weaker psychological endurance would collapse!

From the outside, the palace looks like a place of wealth and luxury with all the splendor, but in fact, there are a lot of troubles inside. The prince is unreliable, the concubines are capable of mischief, and now there is a domineering and arrogant princess who has returned and has even reached her hands into her brother and sister-in-law's room. Not only does she want to divorce herself, she also wants to instigate her brother and sister-in-law to divorce!

Qin Xin was also surprised that the prince said such thoughtful words today. She couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips, grabbed Du Juan, and dragged her out of the inner room.

After coming out, Du Juan stamped her feet anxiously: "Qin Xin, why did you pull me out here? How can you let the prince watch the prince's wife sleep like that? You have to wake her up!"

Qin Xin patted her shoulder and said with a happy face: "Didn't the prince say that the princess has been tired and that she should just sleep? Haven't you noticed that the prince is beginning to feel sorry for the princess? This is a good sign. The two of us can't continue to stand there and get in the way. We have to give the prince and the princess some private space!"

Du Juan still felt something was wrong: "But..."

"Oh, that's enough. There's no buts. You're too stupid. You don't even know how to create more conditions for the prince! It's not okay for others to watch the prince's wife sleep, but the prince can. They are husband and wife! Maybe the prince will stay at the princess's place tonight!"

Du Juan sighed. She knew that it was nothing for the Crown Prince to watch the Crown Princess sleep. Not to mention just watching. Even if he wanted to lie on the bed and sleep with the Crown Princess, she could only be happy and had no right to stop him.

She finally gave up and waited outside with Qin Xin.

But Shen Wantang actually slept very lightly today, and she heard Xiao Qingyuan talking.

When she opened her eyes and saw that Xiao Qingyuan was actually in her bedroom, even though she was always smart and perceptive, she became stunned and slow for a moment.

"Prince, have you encountered any difficulties? Why are you sitting here without waking me up?"

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her sleepy appearance and felt that she now looked like a sixteen-year-old girl. Usually she was too calm and composed, which made him feel distant from her.

He smiled at her and said, "It's not a big deal. I just wanted to come to your place to get some medicine for your injuries, but you fell asleep, so I didn't let anyone wake you up."

"If the prince wants to get the medicine, just tell Du Juan Qin Xin and the others. There's no need to wait for me to wake up."

Xiao Qingyuan touched his nose awkwardly. He didn't know what was wrong with him. It was as if he was possessed by a ghost. He insisted on waiting for her to wake up and didn't allow Du Juan to call her.

However, Shen Wantang's place does have the kind of peacefulness that he likes.

Apart from her place, every other place in the palace gave him a headache.

He was embarrassed, but Shen Wantang was not embarrassed at all. She even got up from the bed and put on her coat, as if Xiao Qingyuan was not there.

Xiao Qingyuan stared at her in a daze. She seemed to...really not take him seriously at all. If a woman saw her husband watching her sleep and get dressed, she would be shy for a moment, right? Would she blush?

But Shen Wantang had none of that.

Moreover, not only did she not blush, she even thought he was getting in the way: "Sir, this is my bedroom, you'd better go out. Next time if you need anything, just tell my maid. I'm asleep in there, and it's a bit inappropriate for you to come in."

Xiao Qingyuan's whole body was a little stiff. Was he disliked by her?

"Shen Wantang!"

"Ok?"

"You and I are husband and wife! How can you kick your husband out?!"

"We are just a couple in name only. Didn't the prince always remind me that you have someone you love and you won't be a real couple with me? The prince won't forget, right?"

The angry expression on Xiao Qingyuan's face froze in an instant.

Yeah, he seemed to have said some bullshit.

He looked at Shen Wantang's calm and distant face, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable, so his words were also stinging: "Of course I haven't forgotten! We are indeed a couple in name only. I came to your bedroom just to pretend for others to see. Do you think I really want to come?"

Shen Wantang was still calm: "You have almost finished pretending, you can leave now."
