Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

The news that Huayi was pregnant quickly spread throughout Prince Ning's Mansion.

After Chu Yanluo learned the news, he was so angry that he smashed several vases in a row.

Then, she rushed out of her yard, ran to Xingheyuan, and scolded both Xiao Qingyuan and Huayi.

The result is naturally predictable. Xiao Qingyuan was feeling sorry for Huayi, but Chu Yanluo came to scold her. How could he tolerate this?

"Princess, the prince slapped Aunt Chu twice and kicked her out! When Aunt Chu left, she was in tears, her face was swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding. She looked so miserable!"

Qin Xin told everything she saw: "From what I can see, the prince really has no feelings for Concubine Chu anymore. He used to be so infatuated with Concubine Chu, but who would have thought that Concubine Chu would end up in such a miserable way one day?"

"When you gave Huayi to the prince, I thought it would not be possible. After all, the prince became a monk for Aunt Chu and drove away all the maids and servants around him, even Madam Chai."

"I didn't expect Huayi to have snatched all the prince's love. Now she is pregnant with his child. It can be said that she has reached the top in one step!"

"However, I feel that the prince is doting on Huayi too much. If this continues, won't there be another 'Concubine Chu'?"

Shen Wantang practiced calligraphy leisurely while saying, "One more or one less doesn't matter. Who doesn't have a few concubines in their house? The prince only has two now, which is considered few."

Qin Xin was stunned: "Princess, are you going to promote Huayi to be your concubine?"

"Since she is pregnant with the prince's child, it is natural that she should be promoted to a concubine. We can't just ask her to be a maid. If it gets out, it will be embarrassing."

Qin Xin couldn't help but sigh. This was the custom in Dafeng. If a maid became pregnant with the master's child, she would be taken as a concubine. Therefore, many maids tried their best to climb onto the master's bed.

Even the palace was no exception. If a palace maid could become pregnant with the emperor's child, she would immediately be freed from her status as a slave and become the emperor's concubine.

Today's Concubine Lan was born a palace maid. She climbed into the emperor's bed after he was drunk and soon became pregnant. Later, she gave birth to a little prince, which made the emperor, who had few children, very happy and he directly named her "Concubine Lan".

Hua Yi is pregnant with the prince's first child. The prince is very happy and will definitely make her a concubine.

It is even possible that the prince will promote Huayi to be his concubine in the future!

Qin was very worried. Seeing that her master could calm down and practice calligraphy, she could not help but respect her: "The Crown Prince's Consort is really different from us ordinary people. Even after such a big thing happened, you are still able to keep your composure as always. No wonder the princess chose you to be the Crown Prince's Consort at first sight! If it were someone else, they would be so angry that they would smash things when they come back."

Shen Wantang laughed: "Come back to smash things? Then wouldn't I be the same as Aunt Chu?"

Qin Xin said quickly: "I didn't mean that. I admire your character and your generosity! If it were me, I wouldn't be able to be so calm and indifferent."

Shen Wantang lowered her head and continued to practice calligraphy, her tone calm: "This is not a big deal. When I gave Huayi to the prince, I had already thought of this day. Everything is within expectations. Huayi is pregnant, which is not a bad thing, but a good thing."

"Ah? Is this a good thing?"

"The palace is going to have a new baby, isn't that a good thing?"

Qin Xin looked at her strangely: "Sometimes I feel that you don't treat the prince as your husband. It's as if, in your eyes, the prince is not much different from Mo Ji and the others."

Shen Wantang smiled. It turned out that this maid was quite smart.

In her eyes, Xiao Qingyuan was indeed nothing special.

husband?

From the perspective of etiquette, Xiao Qingyuan was indeed her husband, but from her heart, she had never considered anyone as her husband.

In her past and present lives, both of her husbands were just "partners" to her.

Of course, in this life, Xiao Qingyuan can hardly even be considered a partner.

She is ruthless and loveless in her heart, and naturally indestructible.

Not to mention that it was just a maid who was pregnant, even if Xiao Qingyuan really wanted to divorce her, she wouldn't feel sad at all.

"Qin Xin, ask the human agent to come to the mansion later."

"Does the Crown Prince's wife want to sell the maid or buy one?"

"Of course I will buy it. Huayi is pregnant, so she can no longer serve the prince. We have to choose two new personal servants for him."

Qin Xin's eyes lit up: "Yes, I'll do it right away!"

Just as she was about to go out, she heard a sharp cry outside: "Let me in, I want to see the Crown Princess! I have something important to tell her, let me in!"

Qin Xin paused and said, "Princess, Aunt Chu is here. Do you think I should chase her away?"

"Why chase her away? Let her in and let us hear what she has to say."

"Yes."

Qin Xin responded and quickly brought Chu Yanluo in.

As soon as Chu Yanluo came in, she immediately knelt down in front of Shen Wantang: "Princess, it was all my fault before. I apologize to you! Please drive Huayi away quickly, she is not a good person!"

Shen Wantang didn't even raise her head and continued practicing her calligraphy.

The room fell into dead silence.

Chu Yanluo knelt on the hard and cold ground, gritting her teeth and enduring.

After being left alone for an unknown amount of time, Shen Wantang finally put down her pen and said calmly, "Aunt Chu, what's the matter? Are you here to give me the disfiguring medicine again?"

"No no no!"

Chu Yanluo knelt humbly and shook her head hurriedly: "I was bewildered last time, so I did something stupid! But the Crown Prince's wife doesn't know that I sent you the medicine because Hua Yi encouraged me to do so. I didn't intend to do this!"

"How can I trust you without any evidence?"

"Everything I said is true! But Huayi is such a scheming little bitch. She never leaves any evidence behind. I don't have any evidence to show to the Crown Prince's Consort!"

Chu Yanluo said hurriedly: "But the Crown Prince's Consort should know that she is not a good person. She has monopolized the Crown Prince and is now pregnant with his child. She simply doesn't take the Crown Prince's Consort seriously!"

"Princess, please don't bother with me. How about I drive Huayi out of the palace with you?"

Shen Wantang looked at her like she was a fool: "Has Aunt Chu gone mad? Huayi is pregnant with the prince's child, and you still want to kick her out of the palace? Do you think the prince will agree?"

"It's because the prince disagrees that I came to find the prince's wife!"

"It's no use looking for me. I won't agree. I advise you to give up this cold-hearted thought. Otherwise, the wounds on your face will be more than just this."

Chu Yanluo was anxious: "Shen Wantang, aren't you very smart? Why are you confused now? The child in Huayi's belly cannot be kept! Otherwise, she will be honored by her son, and you will have no say in the palace in the future!"
