Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

What’s different from before is that Chu Yanluo’s long hair is no longer loose. Perhaps because of the scars on her scalp, she has tied her hair into a bun.

There was no gold or silver jewelry on her hair, only a lifelike white snow lotus flower.

Xiao Qingyuan looked at Chu Yanluo with her hair in a bun and felt that she looked better with her hair down and had a cooler temperament.

Huayi saw that Xiao Qingyuan was staring at Chu Yanluo intently, and was fascinated. She hugged Xiao Qingyuan's other arm and cried, "My Lord, Huayi died unjustly. I usually treat Chundie and Xiachan like my own sisters. When they got into trouble, I was sadder than anyone else. Aunt Chu is slandering me like this. Are you trying to force me to death?"

When Xiao Qingyuan heard her crying again, he came back to his senses immediately: "Huayi, don't cry, you are pregnant, be careful not to hurt yourself."

"But Aunt Chu... begged the prince to clear Huayi's name!"

Huayi said, letting go of his arm and kneeling down.

Because of the force of kneeling, a dull "dong" sound was heard.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't care about Chu Yanluo anymore. He shook off Chu Yanluo's hand and quickly helped Huayi up: "Don't you want your knees anymore? You're kneeling so firmly, are you stupid? Let me see if you're hurt?"

Huayi shed tears and said with determination: "Hhuayi's life is worthless, I am not afraid of getting hurt. I am only afraid of being wronged. I am even more afraid that the prince will listen to slander and misunderstand Huayi."

Xiao Qingyuan turned to look at Chu Yanluo: "You knew Huayi was pregnant, but you still came here to talk nonsense? Those two maids died and one was sick. It was because they were too weak. What does it have to do with Huayi?"

"I know Huayi's kindness better than anyone else! Have you forgotten that when you were sick, I didn't have money to hire a doctor for you, and it was Huayi who paid for it with her own money!"

Chu Yanluo cursed Huayi in her heart for being a bitch, but on the surface she looked like she was willing to follow suit: "Yes, what the prince is saying is that it was Yanluo who misunderstood Miss Huayi."

"Well, that's good if you know."

"Prince, why don't I make amends for my sins and serve you on behalf of Huayi? She is pregnant, so it is not appropriate for her to serve you. Otherwise, if she gets miscarriage, the child will be lost, which would be a big loss."

Xiao Qingyuan looked at Huayi hesitantly. He had been feeling inconvenienced these past two days, especially when he couldn't do anything while holding Huayi, he felt a little depressed.

For the first time, he felt that having only one maidservant in his room was too few, and he should have a few more in his room like Yuan Zheng did.

Huayi saw that he was hesitating, and her heart skipped a beat. She immediately said, "Didn't Aunt Chu mention this matter just now? The prince has already refused, why are you still bringing it up? The prince has already confined you to your room, you shouldn't have come out, go back now!"

In the past, Chu Yanluo would have cursed at Huayi, asking how a maid had the right to manage her, her master, and then slapped her twice.

But after suffering so much harm from Huayi, she learned her lesson.

She smiled as kindly as possible: "Huayi, don't keep trying to chase me away. I feel sorry for the prince, and even more so for you, so I took the risk of being scolded by the prince and volunteered."

"You are a maid, and I am a concubine. We are essentially the same. We both serve the prince. When it is inconvenient for you, I will serve you. When it is inconvenient for me, you will serve me. It is great to help each other!"

"I see that you don't look too well, and you've lost a lot of weight. I heard that you can't eat? Don't worry, I will make all kinds of delicious snacks for you later. I promise to make you and the child plump and white."

Huayi clenched her fingers, wishing she could crush Chu Yanluo's face.

Who would dare to eat what Chu Yanluo made? Maybe she added abortion pills to it, deliberately causing her to have a miscarriage!

Now that she is pregnant with Xiao Qingyuan's first child, she has become a thorn in the eyes of Shen Wantang and Chu Yanluo. The two of them take turns to attack her and the child, each of them wanting to kill her!

The only thing she could do was to hold on to Xiao Qingyuan's heart tightly. As long as Xiao Qingyuan's heart was with her, she had nothing to fear! She would not lose to anyone!

"Sir."

Huayi spoke softly, and the way she hugged Xiao Qingyuan was full of dependence and trust: "Huali is just a maid, how dare I trouble Aunt Chu to serve me? You can go out and buy two more diligent maids. Huayi is incompetent, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do everything myself in the days to come."

Xiao Qingyuan nodded: "You are right. It is not right to ask Aunt Chu to serve you. I will buy two more maids!"

Mo Ji, who was standing by, suddenly reminded him, "Master, it's the end of the year, and the price of maids has gone up. Even a decent maid costs five taels of silver each. You don't have money!"

"Shut up!"

Xiao Qingyuan looked grim: "Do you need to tell me that I have no money? Haven't I been trying to make money?!"

When Chu Yanluo heard that he wanted to make money, he immediately said, "Prince, if you want to make money, I have a way!"

Xiao Qingyuan glanced at her and said, "What can you do? Last time I borrowed 20,000 taels from Yuan Zheng and Gu Qianhan, you lost it all. Do you still have the nerve to say that you have a way to make money?"

"I really have it this time!"

Chu Yanluo said, pointing to her face: "My Lord, didn't you notice that the scar on my face is almost gone?"

"So what?"

"Oh, my Lord, you don't understand. Women love beauty the most and hate scars on their bodies the most. I have a secret recipe for scar removal. The scar removal cream I made myself is very effective. If I can cooperate with a large pharmacy, I will definitely make a lot of money!"

Xiao Qingyuan's heart was pounding: "Really? You really made a scar removal cream? Can this thing really make money?"

"How could I lie to you, my Lord? I have tried this ointment myself. It works quickly and has no side effects. If I sell it, it will definitely be snapped up!"

"How much silver can one be sold for?"

"Silver? Your Highness underestimates my scar removal cream. We have to charge gold! One bottle of ointment can be sold for ten taels of gold. Within a month, your Highness can earn tens of thousands of taels of gold. By then, you can buy anything you want, not to mention maids!"

Chu Yanluo said, hugging Xiao Qingyuan's arm and snatching him from Huayi's hand: "Let Huayi have a good rest first, Prince, let's go to my yard to discuss in detail. This secret recipe of mine cannot be told to others. I will only tell you, Prince."

When Xiao Qingyuan heard that he could earn ten thousand taels of gold, he no longer cared about Hua Yi. He followed Chu Yanluo out.

Huayi called him from behind, but he just waved his hand absentmindedly: "Go back and lie down, I'll be back soon."

After he finished speaking, he followed Chu Yanluo out.

Chu Yanluo almost laughed out loud. She turned around to look at Huayi and saw that her usually gentle mask could no longer hold up and revealed a hint of gloom.

She gave Huayi a provocative smile, took Xiao Qingyuan's arm and walked away.
