Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Prince Ning's Mansion.

Xiao Qingxi put on his new fiery red cloak and rushed into Princess Ning's room like a gust of wind: "Mother, look at my fire fox cloak!"

Princess Ning looked at her daughter lovingly and said, "Walk slower. It's freezing. Don't fall again. Things are different now. Don't fall easily."

"I'm steady. I can't fall."

Xiao Qingxi stuffed the cloak into the hands of Princess Ning: "Mother, I stole this cloak from Shen Wantang. Look at it, the fur is so good and the color is so bright. It's not easy to collect so many fire fox furs! Shen Wantang must have taken advantage of the housekeeper's convenience and secretly used the money to buy the best fox fur to make clothes for herself!"

Princess Ning glared at her in reproach: "Nonsense! Your sister-in-law is not that kind of person."

"Mother, she is not a good person. You have been deceived by her! She has such good leather, but she only wants to make a cloak for herself. She never thought about you at all. Her filial piety to you is all fake!"

Xiao Qingxi snorted coldly: "Just drive her away. A daughter born to a concubine like this is not presentable. She spends money lavishly as soon as she gets a little power. It's like she has never seen a good thing in her eight lifetimes!"

Princess Ning sighed, and she gently straightened her daughter's collar, then tapped her forehead and said, "You, don't think badly of your sister-in-law in the future. This fire fox cloak you are wearing was originally made by your sister-in-law, and she even came to ask me for your size."

"If you can come back in winter, you can wear it. If not, I will ask someone to take it to the northwest. It's freezing cold there and you can use it."

"This cloak was made long before you came back. Not only yours, but also mine and your father's. She had someone make one. Yours is too red and doesn't suit me. Your sister-in-law made a silver-gray one for me and your father."

Princess Ning said as she instructed Nanny Quan: "Bring the cloak that the Crown Prince's wife gave me to the Princess."

Nanny Quan responded and quickly walked up to Xiao Qingxi holding a silver-gray mink cloak.

Xiao Qingxi looked at the cloak in front of him, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't utter a word.

Damn Shen Wantang, how could she be so thoughtful?! How could she find fault with her?

Princess Ning couldn't help but chuckle when she saw that she was silent. She waved her hand and asked Nanny Quan to take the cloak away. Then she said, "Xi'er, do you still have any objections to your sister-in-law this time? If you were someone else's daughter-in-law, would you be as filial and considerate as she is?"

Xiao Qingxi pouted: "Why should I be so filial and considerate? I am different from her! I don't need to respect my mother-in-law. Everyone in the Huo family has to respect me!"

Princess Ning slowly stopped smiling, her expression slightly solemn: "Xi'er, although your father and I dote on you in every way, we will never let you go to your husband's house to suffer grievances, but if your mother-in-law has done nothing wrong, you should respect her and not always rely on your status to bully others."

"Tell me the truth, what does your mother-in-law think about Huo Yunzhou's plan to take a concubine? Is she willing to let her son take a concubine? Is she treating the girl surnamed Lin better than you?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qingxi's eyes turned red, and she choked up and said, "How does mother know that my mother-in-law treats Lin Rouxin better than me?"

"Needless to say, I guessed it. With your personality, it would be strange for your mother-in-law to like you. I have never met Lin Rouxin, but I think she must be better at coaxing people than you, sweeter than you, and easier to be liked by the elders. In addition, her life experience is so miserable, your mother-in-law will naturally side with her instead of you."

Xiao Qingxi gritted her teeth: "I don't care whoever she chooses to side with! That Lin Rouxin cries every day and insists on being Huo Yunzhou's concubine. She is not a good person at all. My mother-in-law will suffer in the future!"

Princess Ning knew from her expression that she was just gritting her teeth and holding on. Everyone in the Huo family liked Lin Rouxin and disliked her, and now even Huo Yunzhou was risking a divorce to take her as a concubine. One could imagine the distress in her daughter's heart.

She had hoped countless times that her son and daughter could be half as calm and knowledgeable as Shen Wantang, but that was ultimately just a beautiful wish.

Some things just don't exist, no matter how hard you try.

Fearing that her daughter would be angry and sad, Princess Ning did not mention Huo Yunzhou again. She only told her daughter: "Your sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law I personally chose. Unless I die, there is no way that the Ning Palace will change the Crown Prince's Consort. Xi'er, do you understand what I mean?"

Xiao Qingxi raised his head and looked at her in a daze: "Mother likes her so much? What's so good about her?"

"She is good in every way. If you can put aside your prejudice, you will also think she is good."

"I am biased. I just don't think she is good!"

"It's okay if you don't think she's good, but you should stop causing trouble for her. Your brother finally accepted her, but you've been stirring up trouble since you came back. Are you two going to get divorced? Will your father and I continue to be human beings? You must respect your sister-in-law in the future and not call her by her name. Remember that?"

Xiao Qingxi's eyes were no longer red, and her voice was no longer choked. She shouted with all her might, "Mother no longer loves her daughter now that she has a daughter-in-law! Why should I respect a daughter born to a concubine? That Shen Wantang, she is not even worthy of entering our palace!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away angrily.

Aunt Kang hurriedly followed: "Auntie, slow down!"

Princess Ning couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, "This child is always hot-tempered. Even a mother like me can't stand her, let alone others. Every time Huo Yunzhou is mentioned, her eyes turn red, and when Tang'er is mentioned, she gets angry."

Nanny Quan soothed her, "After all, the Crown Prince's Consort is more powerful. When you mentioned the Crown Prince's Consort, the Princess forgot about her sadness. This is actually a good thing for her. Otherwise, if the Princess kept crying, something bad would happen."

Princess Ning thought about it and felt that what she said made some sense. "I'm just a little sorry for Tang'er. If someone else came to our palace, they really wouldn't be able to handle my two children."

Wutong Court.

When Shen Wantang came back with her maid, she saw Xiao Qingxi standing in her yard again.

This time she put on the fire fox cloak and was not afraid of the cold at all. She stood there and ordered the maids and old women in the yard around.

As soon as Shen Wantang came in, Xiao Qingxi started to speak in a sarcastic tone again: "Oh, the Crown Prince's Consort is back from playing. Why do you go out to play every day? Don't you care about the affairs of the palace? If you don't want to care, just leave and don't come back. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you are here or not. Our Ning Palace can still function without you."

Shen Wantang didn't want to accompany her outside in the cold wind. She didn't wear a coat today and couldn't withstand the biting cold wind.

She walked around Xiao Qingxi and entered the house.

Xiao Qingxi followed in immediately: "Shen Wantang, this princess is talking to you, do you hear me?"
