Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingyuan's tone was fierce: "Since mother said I'm a bastard, then I will be a bastard to the end! You like Shen Wantang, right? Then I won't consummate my marriage with her! What can you do if you are partial to her? She will never give birth to my child!"

Princess Ning looked at him in disbelief. For a moment, she even felt that she no longer recognized her son. He had become unrecognizable!

"Mother, you don't know, right? Shen Wantang even confessed to me, saying how much she likes me. She pretended to be so cold just to get my attention. She is so hypocritical!"

"Oh, yes, she even put on her wedding dress again, covered herself with a veil, and asked me to lift her veil. After I pulled off the veil, she was so happy, thinking that I was finally willing to lift her veil!"

"How pitiful! She's so desperate to be my real wife! What a pity! I can't possibly let her do that!"

Princess Ning pointed her finger at him and said, "You...you're crazy! Shut up!"

"If I'm really crazy, it's because of my mother!"

Xiao Qingyuan sneered: "Everyone thinks that I, the prince of the royal palace, have a noble birth, fine clothes and delicious food, and I don't know how free and easy I am. But in fact, I have to listen to my mother in everything. If I don't do something that goes my way, you will scold me! There is no point in me being a prince at all!"

"Is it so great to be able to buy frozen lychees? First Shen Wantang bought some and slapped me in the face, and now you're going to buy some and slap me in the face too!"

"Isn't it just money? I don't want to spend the palace's money! I can earn it myself!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Princess Ning sat there, so angry that she could hardly breathe.

Nanny Quan quickly patted her back and said, "Princess, calm down. The prince is young and hot-tempered, and he has been bewitched by a villain, so he speaks without thinking. Please don't get angry with him!"

Princess Ning shed tears: "This evil creature, he knows that this is my own son, but he doesn't know that he thinks he is an enemy! He is still blaming me for stopping him from marrying Chu Yanluo. Doesn't he know what kind of person Chu Yanluo is now? Doesn't he think I did the right thing?"

Nanny Quan could only try her best to comfort her: "The prince must know that you did the right thing, but he is just angry, so of course he will say whatever he wants. Please don't take it to heart."

"You see, it's normal for the prince to feel resentful after his money was cut off and he is penniless. After all, he used to be a prince who could get whatever he wanted, but now he can't even afford a frozen lychee. The gap is too big, and it's normal for him to find it hard to accept!"

"Besides, didn't the prince say he wanted to earn money on his own? This is a good thing. The prince will have a proper job in the future, and you don't have to bother to hire a royal doctor to teach him medical skills!"

Princess Ning shook her head dejectedly: "How much money can he make? I'll be thankful if he doesn't cause me trouble."

On the other side, after Xiao Qingyuan made a big fuss at Princess Ning's place, he went to Shen Wantang's yard to make trouble.

"Shen Wantang, you villain!"

Xiao Qingyuan stormed into the room, rushed to Shen Wantang and yelled, "You knew I wanted to buy frozen lychees, but you pretended to be nice and refused to pay me in front of me, and then you sent someone to buy frozen lychees behind my back! You are just trying to disgust me and slap me in the face!"

Compared to his impulsiveness and irritability, Shen Wantang seemed particularly calm and composed: "I did buy the frozen lychees, but I didn't buy them behind the prince's back. I bought them openly and used my own money. I didn't use the palace's account. Why can't the prince afford the frozen lychees and won't let others buy them?"

"You didn't buy it earlier or later, but you bought it right after I told you to. You're provoking me!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, my Lord? Why are you provoking me? I've never eaten lychees before, so I bought some to try. Don't make things worse for yourself. I'm very busy. There are many things to do at the end of the year. I won't keep you here, my Lord. Go back and take care of Huayi!"

"Shen Wantang, are you jealous of Hua Yi?"

Shen Wantang was slightly surprised: "What did you say? The prince bumped his head while walking and is he unconscious?"

"I didn't consummate my marriage with you, and I didn't lift your veil, but I made love with Huayi every day. I spoiled her to the sky, and even made her pregnant with the palace's first child. That's why you hold a grudge and want to take revenge on me and Huayi!"

"Xiao Qingyuan, it's time for you to take your medicine."

"I'm telling you, your cheap tricks won't work on me! I don't care!"

"I see you care a lot about it. You're almost going crazy."

"I don't care! It's just lychees, right? I don't need your money, I can buy it for Huayi anyway!"

"What are you going to give to Huayi? Could it be that the prince wants to sell himself?"

"It's none of your business what I buy with, I can definitely buy it anyway! Besides, I'm sure I can make a lot of money in the future. If you don't please me now, don't regret it in the future!"

Shen Wantang looked at him quietly: "Who doesn't know how to brag? I thought the prince was a down-to-earth person, but it turns out he also likes to brag?"

"I'm not bragging!"

"Then show me the money you made. Don't start talking nonsense in front of me when you haven't made a penny. It's really embarrassing."

"you!!"

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and earn some money? Oh, I don't want your money, it's Huayi. Isn't she still waiting for you to buy her some frozen lychees? Don't let her down."

"Humph!"

Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly and turned away.

However, after he left, he did not return to his own courtyard to look at the paintings, but took Mo Ji out of the palace and went all the way to Qingyun Tower.

Qingyunlou's business is very bad now. There are only a few people eating and drinking in such a big restaurant.

Among these people, there is Yuan Zheng.

Xiao Qingyuan saw Yuan Zheng. He hesitated for a moment and walked up to Yuan Zheng.

When Yuan Zheng saw him, he said in a slightly flattering tone as before: "Why are you here, Prince? You haven't come to Qingyun Tower for dinner for a long time. How about I treat you to a drink today?"

His expression was as if what had happened before had never happened, as if the woman standing between them was nothing to him.

Xiao Qingyuan frowned and looked at him for a while, and finally asked: "Do you have any way to make money?"

Yuan Zheng smiled confidently: "Qingyuan, you've asked the right person for this! I, Yuan Zheng, can do nothing else, but making money? No one can match me!"

"My grandfather was the richest man in Jiangnan. He taught my mother all the skills to make money, and my mother taught me. Do you think this can be considered a family tradition?"

"Come on, Qingyuan, take a seat. Let's drink and chat! With me here, I guarantee you'll make a lot of money and you'll have more than enough to spend in your lifetime!"

Xiao Qingyuan gritted his teeth and sat down beside him.

Originally, Yuan Zheng slept with Chu Yanluo while he was drunk, and he planned to never have any contact with Yuan Zheng again for the rest of his life.

However, he no longer has an obsession with Chu Yanluo, he is now obsessed with making money!
