Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows slightly: "So fast? What's the reason?"

"It's the prince!"

Qin Xin didn't even have time to catch her breath before she said hastily, "The people from Huayi's home thought that the prince wouldn't let Huayi go back for the funeral, so they cried loudly outside and begged the prince to let her go! Mo Ji then told the prince about Huayi's mother's death, and the prince immediately asked Huayi to go home for the funeral!"

Shen Wantang suddenly realized that it was Xiao Qingyuan who spoke. No wonder Huayi changed his mind immediately.

"And one more thing!"

"Ok?"

"Mo Ji said that the prince wants to go back with Hua Yi to attend the funeral!"

"what?!"

This shocked the usually calm Shen Wantang. Is Xiao Qingyuan crazy?! Whose maid's mother passed away and the master accompanied her to the funeral? This is simply the opposite of Tian Gang!

Shen Wantang stood up hurriedly: "Did Mo Ji ask someone to tell the princess about this? Has the prince already gone out with Huayi?"

"I told you! The princess is stopping the prince at the second gate, not letting him go out!"

"Let's go and have a look!"

When Shen Wantang and his men arrived, Princess Ning and Xiao Qingyuan were already arguing fiercely.

"Huayi is mine. Her mother passed away, so what's wrong with me accompanying her back?! My mother has always been reasonable, why did she have to stop me from doing something like this? Don't I even have the freedom to go out?"

"Didn't I forbid you to go out? I won't allow you to accompany a maid back to attend the funeral! There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If you dare to go today, don't come back to Prince Ning's Mansion in the future. Your father and I can't afford to lose this person!"

"I just don't understand. What's so shameful about this? Huayi didn't have a good life at home before. Her family has always treated her harshly, otherwise they wouldn't have sold her to the palace as a slave. I accompanied her back to support her, so that no one would take the opportunity to bully her again!"

"Then you can ask two guards to accompany her back. You are not allowed to go! Your surname is Xiao, and you are the prince of the royal palace! Apart from the Xiao family and your maternal grandfather's family, the only ones who can allow you to attend the funeral are your wife's family, the Shen family! You can't go to any other family!"

"Why does mother always make such a fuss? Why is she so cold-blooded?"

Princess Ning was incredulous: "What did you say? You said I'm cold-blooded?"

Xiao Qingyuan was angry: "Did I say something wrong? Is a maid's funeral not a funeral? I will not lose a piece of meat if I accompany her back! I don't care what my last name is, I am just an ordinary person, mother, don't use the identity of the prince of the palace to kidnap me!"

Princess Ning was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She pointed at Xiao Qingyuan's nose and was speechless for a long time.

Shen Wantang stepped forward to support her and looked at Xiao Qingyuan: "My Lord, mother is right. You cannot go to attend the funeral of the maid's mother. If you are worried about her going back alone, then listen to mother and send two guards to follow her."

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her coldly, then grabbed Huayi's hand and held it tightly in his palm, as if this would provoke Shen Wantang.

"You don't have to mind my business! Now that you have become the consort of a high and mighty prince, you live a comfortable life and don't care about the lives of others. You are so hypocritical!"

"Huayi always speaks well of you, but you are so cold-blooded. Her mother passed away, and you even stopped me from accompanying her home to attend the funeral!"

"But the more you object, the more I will do it! Today, no one can stop me from going out!"

Hua Yi, who was standing by, shook her head in fear. She begged, "My Lord, you don't have to accompany me back, and neither do the guards. I can go back by myself! I am your maid now, and no one in the family dares to bully me anymore. I will be fine."

Xiao Qingyuan comforted her: "Huayi, don't be afraid, I will definitely accompany you home. You don't have to pretend that everything is fine in front of me. The man who asked you to go home for the funeral just now beat you. I saw it clearly. He dared to beat you in the palace. When you go back, he will kill you. I am worried if you go back alone."

Huayi broke free from his hand and knelt down: "Your Highness, I will die with my eyes closed if you protect me like this. However, I am of low status and would never dare to tarnish your reputation. I beg you to allow me to go home alone to attend the funeral."

Xiao Qingyuan became annoyed: "Didn't I tell you not to kneel casually in the future? Why are you kneeling again?"

Huayi prostrated herself on the ground, her body trembling slightly, not daring to raise her head.

Xiao Qingyuan looked at Princess Ning and Shen Wantang: "It's all your fault! You scared her! You were so aggressive, just bullying her because she's a maid and has no one to rely on!"

Princess Ning covered her chest in anger.

She didn't expect that after she had finally pressed down Chu Yanluo, another one of Hua Yi popped up!

What made her even more miserable was that she had chosen this painting idea herself for her son!

The next moment, she saw her son bending down and helping the maid who was kneeling on the ground up. Then, he took the maid's hand and walked out regardless of anything.

When a guard tried to stop him, he drew out a short blade and shouted, "Let's see who dares to stop me today! I will kill anyone who stops me!"

The guards all looked at Princess Ning.

Princess Ning was so angry that she was shaking all over. She closed her eyes and finally said, "Don't stop him. Let him do whatever he wants!"

The guards received the order and immediately retreated.

Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly and walked out with Hua Yi.

When he was about to leave, he heard his mother say, "After they leave the palace, you must guard the door for me. Don't let any of these two people in!"

The guards responded immediately.

Xiao Qingyuan didn't care at all. He sneered and said, "I'm afraid I'll come back! Huayi, let's go!"

The two men quickly walked out of Prince Ning's Mansion.

Mo Ji followed them and couldn't help sighing. His master no longer favored Chu Yanluo and favored Huayi instead. But no matter who he favored, his master's temper didn't change at all. For the woman he liked, he could turn against his family at any time.

He heard Huayi still persuading his master to go back quickly so as not to make the princess and the crown prince's wife sad and angry.

Unfortunately, the master turned a deaf ear to it.

Mo Ji felt that Huayi was not pretending this time, she was really scared.

Because Princess Ning would not do anything to the Crown Prince, but she could sell her maid.

She is different from Chu Yanluo. Chu Yanluo is a free person and a daughter of an official family, while Huayi was sold to the palace after signing a contract to sell herself. She is a real slave.

With such a commotion, they naturally had no carriage to ride in, so Xiao Qingyuan found a friend, borrowed a carriage, and rushed to Huayi's house.

Huayi's house was rented, and white silk was hung outside.

However, Huayi was stunned when she entered, because her mother was standing in the room with other family members!

Her face turned pale: "Mother, you are still alive?! Why is this!"

Her mother didn't say anything, but just moved aside.

A tall and straight figure walked out from the darkness. The sunlight shone in from the door and fell on his face, revealing his angular and handsome face.
