Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shaoguangyuan.

Shen Wantang sat next to Princess Ning and listened with her to the reasons why Huo Yunzhou wanted to take a concubine.

The Lin family is an orphan. Her family is full of loyal heroes. Her father and brother shed their blood on the battlefield. She is helpless and has admired Huo Yunzhou for a long time. She only wants to marry Huo Yunzhou as his concubine.

Huo Yunzhou also promised her father and brother personally that he would protect her for the rest of her life.

After hearing this, Princess Ning was also quite moved: "Yunzhou, if Miss Lin is willing, the prince and I can adopt her as our adopted daughter. In the future, her food, clothing and expenses will be the same as my biological daughter. She can marry as my adopted daughter and marry into a wealthy family as the main wife. Isn't that better than being your concubine?"

Huo Yunzhou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You don't understand Rouxin. She is not the kind of person who covets fame and status. She is very pure and simple."

"She has always liked me. I know that, but I have always treated her as my younger sister. Even if I get married, she will not marry anyone else. If I don't marry her this time, she will go to Jixin Temple to become a nun."

"Yun Zhou was too embarrassed to come see my mother-in-law, but I really had no choice. Rou Xin had her father and brother to protect her before, so everything was fine. But now she has no one to protect her. If I let her go to Ji Xin Temple to become a nun, I would be sorry for her father and brother, and my own conscience."

"I beg you to forgive Yunzhou this time. As for Qingxi, I beg you to help me persuade her. She won't listen to anyone right now. You are her biological mother, and you are the only one who can persuade her now."

After Huo Yunzhou finished speaking, he knelt down.

Princess Ning's expression gradually turned cold. She sat at the top, looking at Huo Yunzhou who was kneeling in front of her, without saying a word.

The atmosphere became depressing. Shen Wantang knew that Princess Ning loved her children very much. No matter how pitiful or miserable others were, she would never use her daughter as a sacrifice.

Huo Yunzhou's words made Princess Ning angry.

What's more, Huo Yunzhou can kneel down to Princess Ning for Lin Rouxin now, and who knows what he can do for Lin Rouxin in the future.

Based on this point alone, Xiao Qingxi has already lost to Lin Rouxin.

Time seemed to be extremely long, but Huo Yunzhou just knelt straight and motionless, as if he would never get up unless Princess Ning gave in.

Xiao Qingyuan on the side endured for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Mother, Yun Zhou also has his own difficulties. He has no choice but to take a concubine. Shouldn't we also be flexible? After all, Lin Rouxin has been miserable enough, she..."

Before he could finish his words, Princess Ning interrupted him coldly: "Qingxi is your biological sister. At this moment, why are you turning your elbow outward?"

"How could I? Taking a concubine is not a big deal. It just means having one more person in the mansion. Lin Rouxin is not someone who can cause trouble. If Qingxi agrees to let her in, it won't be a big deal. But if he doesn't agree to let her in, she will become a nun."

Xiao Qingyuan's tone was filled with pity: "Ji Xin Nunnery is not a place for people to stay. You have never lived there. Before, Yan Luo..."

"shut up!"

It would have been fine if he didn't mention Chu Yanluo. Once he mentioned Chu Yanluo, Princess Ning became even angrier: "She forced Huo Yunzhou to take her as a concubine by becoming a nun in Jixin Temple. How can she be a good person?! I'm afraid she's the same kind of person as Chu Yanluo!"

"She's already so good at controlling men before we even get in. Who knows what she'll do once we get in!"

"Your sister is a straightforward person. Her thoughts are written all over her face. With her little brain, how can she fight against anyone? She will be pissed off to death!"

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't help but ask, "It's not as serious as you say. Why do you always think of the worst? And think of the worst about people?"

He turned to look at Shen Wantang: "Don't be silent, persuade mother. You have the final say in the whole palace, and mother listens to you."

After he said this, Huo Yunzhou looked at Shen Wantang in surprise. Wasn't she very unpopular with Xiao Qingyuan? He had heard about this in the northwest, which showed that Xiao Qingyuan really didn't like her.

But now Xiao Qingyuan actually said that Shen Wantang has the final say in the entire palace! Princess Ning also listens to Shen Wantang!

The most important thing is that when Xiao Qingyuan said this, no one in the room questioned it except him, and they all had a calm expression as if it was their due.

Why is this happening?

"Sir."

In Huo Yunzhou's shocked eyes, Shen Wantang said calmly: "For marriage, it is better to listen to your parents' advice. Mother has experienced more than we have. Even if you don't want to listen to your mother, you should at least listen to your own thoughts, right?"

"Mr. Huo's taking a concubine naturally has no impact on you, and you don't live with him, but the princess has to live with him for the rest of her life. No matter whether his concubine is good or bad, there is always a person between you and him."

"Prince, put yourself in the princess's shoes. If it were you, would you be willing to do so?"

Xiao Qingyuan said without hesitation: "I am willing. Why wouldn't I be willing? Isn't it just having one more concubine?"

When Shen Wantang saw that he answered so straightforwardly, she knew that he must not have put himself in other people's shoes and was still thinking from a man's perspective.

She chose an angle that would hurt Xiao Qingyuan the most, and asked calmly: "If Aunt Chu has more than one man, you and Gu Qianhan, and she lives with both of you for the rest of her life, would you be willing?"

As Shen Wantang spoke, she silently said in her heart, I'm sorry, Second Master Gu, in order to let Xiao Qingyuan have a personal experience, you have to sacrifice for a while.

As expected, Xiao Qingyuan was choked.

He was so annoyed that his face changed: "What nonsense are you talking about! We are talking about Qingxi now, why are you talking about Gu Qianhan! Yanluo has nothing to do with Gu Qianhan!"

Shen Wantang smiled faintly: "Don't get excited, my lord. I was just making an analogy. Sometimes you won't feel the pain unless the fist hits you."

"Since the prince is unwilling to share a woman with other men, then the princess is naturally unwilling to share her husband with other women. Is this difficult to understand?"

"No matter what the reason is, no matter how good this woman is, as long as the princess doesn't want to, it won't work."

Xiao Qingyuan opened his mouth, but this time no words came out.

He was stunned for a long time, finally turned to look at Huo Yunzhou, shook his head at him, and indicated that there was nothing he could do.

Shen Wantang's theory is a bit twisted, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.

Before, he thought that Lin Rouxin was so miserable and his sister was being unreasonable, but now he felt that it was reasonable for his sister to be so angry that she wanted a divorce.

Apart from anything else, if Chu Yanluo was really married to both him and Gu Qianhan, he would be so angry that he would not be able to have Chu Yanluo anymore, and he would have to beat Gu Qianhan every time he saw her.

My sister didn't hit Lin Rouxin now because she restrained herself.
