Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

"Clear Creek."

Xiao Qingyuan looked embarrassed: "I mean, it's getting late, I should go to bed, and you should go to bed too, why are you here at this time? I'm tired after a day, and I'm very sleepy, how about you come tomorrow?"

Xiao Qingxi sneered: "Oh, Master Xiao is really arrogant. If you don't know, you would think I'm not your biological sister and I'm just some random person asking you to do something for me!"

Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "You-you should speak properly, don't be so sarcastic."

"Why am I being so weird? I think Shen Wantang seems to be very tired today, right? But when I went to her place, she didn't chase me away. Why did my own brother chase me away? What's the logic behind this?"

"How could I chase you out? You can come to my yard anytime you want. Come, sit down. If you have anything to say, talk slowly. You are always the most important person to me!"

"Brother, do you really think I am the most important?"

"Of course!"

"You're not lying to me this time, are you?"

"Of course not. When have I ever lied to you?"

"Will your brother listen to what I say?"

"Listen, you must listen!"

Xiao Qingxi nodded in satisfaction and said loudly, "Madam Kang, bring them in!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Kang, Qin Xin and the other three walked in.

As soon as Xiao Qingyuan saw Qin Xin, his eyelids began to twitch: "Qingxi, why did you bring them here?"

Xiao Qingxi smiled at him and said, "I see that brother only has Huayi as his maidservant, which is really outrageous, so I snatched four maids from Shen Wantang for brother! From now on, they will serve in brother's yard!"

"What?!!"

"Brother is happy too, right? I guess you will like these four maids. Qinxin is smart and capable, Dujuan is down-to-earth and dutiful, and the other two, Taodai and Libai, are both pretty and can warm your bed at night."

Xiao Qingxi looked considerate: "Brother, am I good to you? Look, I even took care of everything when choosing a maid for you. Tell me, how are you going to thank me?"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned pale: "You still want me to thank you?"

"Ah? Xiao Qingyuan, I even snatched Shen Wantang's left and right arms for you, you won't even say thank you? Do you still have a conscience?"

"Do you think I really want Shen Wantang's right-hand men? They are Shen Wantang's trusted maids. I can't order them around on weekdays. If you ask them to come, won't that just cause trouble for me?"

What? You can't control them?

That would be great!

Xiao Qingxi clapped his hands happily: "Qin Xin, Du Juan, you two come here!"

Qin Xin and Du Juan followed his instructions and stepped forward: "What do you want, Princess?"

"My brother thinks he can't order you around. You two are just maids, but you dare to be disrespectful to my brother. You are so bold! Apologize to my brother immediately and promise to obey my brother's orders in the future!"

Qin Xin and Du Juan both bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes: "We know we were wrong, and we will obey the orders of the prince from now on."

"Brother, did you hear me? They will listen to you from now on, so just accept them!"

"I don't want them! Take them away quickly. Seeing them gives me a headache, my eyes hurt and my whole body feels uncomfortable!"

"Xiao Qingyuan, you just said that I am the most important person to you and you will listen to me! Why did you change your mind so suddenly?"

Xiao Qingxi's face darkened. She cried and cursed, "You are really a liar! You clearly promised me that you would not tell anyone the secret of my pregnancy, but you told Huo Yunzhou within a few days and even cheated me together with Huo Yunzhou! You deserve to die! I hate you! I will hate you forever!"

This account was brought up again, and Xiao Qingyuan felt extremely guilty. He immediately begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Don't cry. Don't be so emotional. It's not good for the child. If anything happens to you, my father and mother will beat me to death."

"Then do you want the maid I worked so hard to get for you?"

"Yes, I want it, can't I?"

"No! You said it too reluctantly. People who don't know would think I forced you to do it!"

Xiao Qingyuan felt like he was speechless and couldn't express his pain. He had to force a smile and said, "How could you force me to ask for this? I wanted it myself. Thank you, sister, for snatching so many maids for me. Shen Wantang must be heartbroken! You did a great job, sister!"

Xiao Qingxi stopped crying immediately: "Since brother likes Shen Wantang's maids so much, I will grab a few more for you tomorrow!"

"No! No need!"

"Huh? What did you say? You dare to reject me?"

"No, I mean, there are already enough maids. There's no need to fight for them anymore. We should at least leave a few available for Shen Wantang, right?"

"Why leave any for her? I won't leave any for her! It would be better if she doesn't have anyone to use!"

"Well... after all, she is the mistress of the house and has to manage the entire palace. I think you should stop trying to snatch her people. It would be best if you could send Qin Xin and Du Juan back to her. I only need the remaining two."

Xiao Qingxi raised his eyebrows: "Brother, why do you feel so sorry for Shen Wantang? Don't tell me that you have secretly fallen in love with her!"

Xiao Qingyuan immediately denied: "How is it possible? How could I like her? Besides being pretty, what else does she have? Vulgar!"

Xiao Qingxi sneered: "Oh? You still think Shen Wantang is beautiful?"

"No, no, she's not pretty. I don't like her at all!"

"It's best if you don't like her! If you like a concubine's daughter like her, I will look down on you for the rest of my life!"

Xiao Qingyuan's forehead was covered with sweat. He felt that dealing with Xiao Qingxi was more tiring than dealing with a day's worth of guests!

He hoped that she would leave quickly, but she seemed to have endless energy and endless things to say.

"Brother, I see that Madam Chai is serving Shen Wantang very wholeheartedly, but Madam Chai was originally your madam. Don't you feel bad when you see this? Aren't you angry?"

"I……"

"Okay, I get it. You feel bad and angry, but it doesn't matter. Tomorrow I will get Madam Chai for you!"

Xiao Qingyuan wanted to cry but had no tears: "Qingxi, I drove Madam Chai away before, and it was my mother who found her and gave her to Shen Wantang as a personal nanny. I don't mind you snatching her away, but I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to my mother!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Qingxi nervously, fearing that she would get angry and rush to snatch Nanny Chai without caring about anything.

Fortunately, Xiao Qingxi still respected her mother. She thought for a while and nodded: "Forget it, Madam Chai won't fight for it."

Xiao Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right!"

"I'll grab something else for you! I'll help you fill up the yard!"

Xiao Qingyuan: "..."

He felt a little painful. It was okay for Xiao Qingxi to act up, but why did Shen Wantang let her do that?

Aren't Qin Xin and Du Juan her most capable and trusted maids? How could she give them to Xiao Qingxi so easily?

Something is wrong, very wrong!

Conspiracy, this must be a conspiracy!
