Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

The day passed quickly.

In the morning, Shen Wantang followed Prince Ning and Princess Ning to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. After returning to the palace, other people came to pay New Year's greetings, and she was dealing with people all day long.

After seeing off all the guests after dark, Shen Wantang's face was already frozen with smile.

When the lights came on, she returned to her yard. When she had dinner and was about to lie down to have a good rest, Xiao Qingxi came.

Compared to Shen Wantang, who looked exhausted after a long day, Xiao Qingxi had a rosy complexion and looked full of energy.

Because she was pregnant, Princess Ning felt sorry for her and didn't even let her go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also knew that Xiao Qingxi was pregnant and had had her period, so she felt sorry for her granddaughter and didn't get angry when she didn't pay New Year's greetings to her. She even sent her some supplements.

As for those who came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, Xiao Qingxi didn't need to entertain them.

Therefore, she became the most leisurely person in the entire palace. She slept well, ate well, and looked surprisingly healthy.

"Shen Wantang, how did you become the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Xiao Qingxi looked Shen Wantang up and down critically: "I have never seen a mistress as derelict in her duties as you. My father and mother praise you every day. Is this how you manage the household?"

Shen Wantang said in a cold tone: "My princess, you are so keen on making trouble for me. Is it because you look down on my background, or is it because you can't get the right to be the steward of the Huo family, so you come to give me orders?"

Xiao Qingxi's face suddenly darkened: "I don't want the Huo family's housekeeper power! I just simply don't like you!"

"How have I offended the princess?"

"Humph! You have offended me in so many ways, but I am not here to settle accounts with you for myself today. I am here for my brother!"

Shen Wantang looked surprised: "I thought the prince betrayed the princess and secretly revealed that you were pregnant. You were angry and severed your brother-sister relationship with him. Why is it that the princess still misses him so much and loves him so much?"

"It's none of your business to tell me what my relationship with my brother is! Even if I cut off my relationship with him, I'm still closer than you!"

"So that's how it is. The brother-sister relationship between the princess and the prince is so touching!"

"Stop talking nonsense! My brother doesn't even have a servant in his yard. The only maid is pregnant and can't do anything! Send a few maids to my brother immediately. My brother is the prince of Ning Wang, but he only has a maid by his side. You, the prince's consort, are just a decoration and are of no use at all!"

Shen Wantang pulled the corners of his lips and revealed a sarcastic smile: "You want a maid for your brother, does your brother know? Is he willing to have it?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Call all your maids here immediately. I want to personally choose someone for my brother! I don't trust the person you choose!"

"The reason I ask so many questions is, of course, because I have already sent a maid to your brother, but he drove her out."

"You won't send me anything again after I kicked you out? It must be that what you sent me last time didn't suit my brother's taste. He has always been surrounded by a bunch of people serving him since he was a child. When did he live such a miserable life?"

Shen Wantang was exhausted after a long day and didn't have the time to continue dealing with her: "Madame Chai, call all the maids and let the princess pick someone for the prince."

"Yes."

Nanny Chai responded respectfully and quickly called all the maids in.

Xiao Qingxi picked out two of the maids and asked, "What are your names?"

"The servant Tao Dai."

"The slave Li Bai."

"Okay, it's just you two. You're barely good-looking, but the others are all ugly and unworthy of serving my brother!"

In the room, everyone had different expressions when they heard that Xiao Qingxi actually picked Tao Dai and Li Bai.

Qin Xin looked at Shen Wantang in shock. These two maids were exactly the ones Shen Wantang wanted to give to Xiao Qingyuan. She had sent them there before, but was sent back by Xiao Qingyuan.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qingxi picked these two again!

She remembered clearly that when the two maids were driven back, Shen Wantang said that someone would help her send them back to Xiao Qingyuan.

At that time she asked who Shen Wantang was, but Shen Wantang didn't tell her.

Now it seems that it is Xiao Qingxi without a doubt.

But how did she know that Xiao Qingxi would return to the palace? How could she be sure that Xiao Qingxi would come to ask for a maid on behalf of Xiao Qingyuan? How could she guarantee that the one Xiao Qingxi picked would be exactly what she wanted to give to Xiao Qingyuan?

Could it be that the Crown Prince’s wife has the ability to predict the future?

Qin Xin was thinking when she suddenly heard Xiao Qingxi say, "Two are not enough, I want to pick two more! Shen Wantang, I think the two standing next to you are good, let's pick them!"

Qin Xin and Du Juan were both stunned, and then looked at Shen Wantang at the same time: "Crown Prince's Consort!"

When Shen Wantang heard that Xiao Qingxi chose Tao Dai and Li Bai, she didn't react much. But when she heard that she actually chose Du Juan and Qin Xin, she almost laughed out loud.

She suppressed her laughter and asked, "My lady, are you sure you want to choose these two maids beside me?"

"Of course. Why, you can't bear to leave?"

"I really can't bear to let them go. One of them is my maidservant who came with my dowry, and the other is a first-class maidservant who has been serving me since I entered the palace. She is my right-hand man. The princess specifically asked for both of them. Isn't she deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Xiao Qingxi said proudly: "I'm attracted to your left and right arms, why, you're not convinced?"

"Shen Wantang, I'm warning you, this is my brother and I's home, not yours. Don't take yourself too seriously. My brother and I can have any maid serve us, and you have no right to refuse!"

"Besides, it's your fortune that I like your maid who comes with your dowry! This maid is dull and doesn't seem very smart. My brother is a simple-minded person, so he is just suitable for this kind of maid!"

"You should have given this maid to my brother a long time ago, instead of giving him the idea of ​​climbing into bed with her! Humph, those who get pregnant by climbing into bed and take the opportunity to become a man's concubine are all bad people!"

Shen Wantang's face was gloomy, and his tone became very stiff: "No, the princess cannot take these two maids of mine! You can pick two more, Du Juan and Qin Xin, I will not give them to the prince!"

"Hey, Shen Wantang, you still dare to show me your displeasure? You still dare to reject me? I gave you face, didn't I?"

Xiao Qingxi snorted coldly: "Madam Kang, take away all the maids I like! Let's go to my brother's yard and send him a maid!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Nanny Kang had no choice but to pull Dujuan and Qinxin away one by one.

After they left, the gloom on Shen Wantang's face disappeared completely, and a smile appeared in her eyes: "Mammy, our princess is really good at choosing. She immediately picked the one that the four princes disliked the most."
