Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Princess Ning looked down and saw that her daughter had woken up at some point.

She sighed: "Qingxi, you have to think carefully. Huo Yunzhou's heart has already leaned towards Lin Rouxin. If you don't divorce, your future life will not be easy."

"Mother, do you think my life will be better if I divorce you? Will I be better off just watching Huo Yunzhou marry Lin Rouxin? No, it will only make me more miserable! So, I don't want to divorce you. If I don't live well, Huo Yunzhou and Lin Rouxin won't live well either!"

Princess Ning has always doted on her daughter. If her daughter wants to divorce, she supports her daughter in doing so. If her daughter does not want to divorce, she supports her daughter in not divorcing.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll ask your father to go find General Huo. If that doesn't work, I'll go to the palace and cry to the Queen Mother. I don't believe that the Huo family dares not give the Queen Mother face!"

"No, mother will go to the palace now and ask the Queen Mother to support me! Huo Yunzhou actually dared to have the evil idea of ​​divorcing and marrying another woman. He is guilty of a heinous crime! Let the Queen Mother issue an order to punish him! And that Lin Rouxin, who deliberately destroyed the relationship between Huo Yunzhou and me, is also guilty! She should also be thrown into prison!"

……

Shen Wantang listened to Xiao Qingxi's childish and impulsive words and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Just like in his previous life, Xiao Qingxi ultimately chose not to divorce.

And this will be the beginning of her painful life. Next, she will lose not only Huo Yunzhou's love, but also the child in her belly, her right to speak and her housekeeper rights in the Huo family, and so on.

Shen Wantang glanced at Xiao Qingxi's belly, which was tightly protected. Seeing that the mother and daughter were talking to each other in a sweet way, she retreated silently.

As soon as she came out, she saw Doctor Zhou who came hurriedly to see her.

She politely exchanged a few words with Doctor Zhou, then invited him in. After Doctor Zhou entered the room, she did not go in to hear the results of his diagnosis.

Because it doesn't matter to her.

Instead of spending this much time, she might as well go back and take a nice bath and have a good sleep.

Tomorrow, Gu Qianning has asked her to go to Fazhen Temple to listen to the abbot lecture on Buddhist scriptures, so she needs to get enough rest.

From the first to the fifth day of every lunar month, Fazhen Temple will give lectures and provide porridge to the people who come to listen to the lectures. It is said that children who drink the Buddhist porridge from Fazhen Temple can ward off evil spirits and grow up healthy without illness or disaster. The elderly who drink the Buddhist porridge from Fazhen Temple can prolong their life and have sharp ears and eyes.

These effects are naturally a bit exaggerated, but Shen Wantang has drunk the Buddhist porridge from Fazhen Temple. The porridge is made with the best rice and red beans, and is also added with three or four kinds of herbs that can clear the mind and reduce internal heat. All of them are real ingredients and are free of charge.

Moreover, Fazhen Temple distributes different kinds of porridge to the elderly and children, so Buddhist porridge is extremely popular every year, and many outsiders will come to the capital specifically to listen to the sutras and drink porridge.

As Shen Wantang walked towards her yard, she was thinking about the porridge from Fazhen Temple and had completely forgotten about Xiao Qingxi.

She returned to the yard, entered the house, took off her complicated clothes, and sat in the steaming hot tub. Qin Xin and Du Juan, one of them held a soft handkerchief to wipe her body, and the other scooped hot water to wash her hair.

By the time Shen Wantang finished washing herself and came out of the bathtub, she was already drowsy.

By the time she had wrung her hair dry, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. After getting into bed, she fell asleep in a short while.

The next day, she got up and washed before daybreak.

After getting dressed, she went out with her maid.

Outside the Ning Wang Mansion, Gu Qianning was already waiting for her. She was yawning and obviously did not get enough sleep.

When she saw Shen Wantang, she pulled him into her carriage and said, "Atang, come here. I have prepared some snacks for you. They are still hot!"

As soon as Shen Wantang entered, he saw Gu Qianhan was there too.

However, she has gotten used to it. If Gu Qianning goes out one day and Gu Qianhan doesn't follow her, she will feel strange.

Seeing Gu Qianhan getting up to get off the car, she said, "Second Young Master, just sit here. It's okay. It's cold outside. If you ride to Fazhen Temple, you will easily catch a cold."

Gu Qianhan didn't expect that she would ask to keep him. It seemed that he always appeared by her side and became more familiar with her, so she was not so defensive anymore.

A smile appeared on his lips: "Thank you very much, Princess."

Gu Qianning glanced at him and muttered, "It's just that Atang is kindhearted and worried that you'd be left out. If it were someone else, he would have kicked you out long ago. You're so tall, and you're taking up the space of two of us, and you're in the way."

Gu Qianhan was in a good mood and didn't care about his sister's ridicule. After all, thanks to Gu Qianning, he could see Shen Wantang from time to time.

The carriage moved forward slowly. Gu Qianning took out the snacks and hot tea that she had prepared early in the morning and started eating with Shen Wantang.

The two of them drank tea and chatted, and time passed quickly.

When they arrived at Fazhen Temple, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

However, many people have come to Fazhen Temple to burn incense, and the young monks have already started to distribute porridge.

Shen Wantang and Gu Qianning had already eaten snacks and were full, but they still ordered a bowl of porridge each. After drinking it, they entered the main hall, took a seat, and prepared to listen to the sutra.

As the sky brightened, more and more people came into the temple. As the bell rang three times, the abbot walked out from the back of the hall and began to preach.

The lecture lasted for a whole hour. Shen Wantang listened attentively, as if he understood something. Gu Qianning became drowsy and almost fell on Shen Wantang.

Gu Qianhan saw his sister pressing Shen Wantang's body to the side, so he silently turned her head to his side and let her lean on him to fall asleep.

Shen Wantang felt a weight reduction on her body. She thought it was Gu Qianning who woke up. When she turned around, she saw Gu Qianhan holding Gu Qianning's head with one hand and supporting her shoulder with the other, bearing all her weight.

But Gu Qianning felt that his body was too hard and it hurt her, so she quickly broke free from his hand, put her arm around Shen Wantang's arm again, and leaned against her.

Gu Qianhan wanted to pull her over again, but Shen Wantang gently waved at him and mouthed, "It's okay."

She didn't mind Gu Qianning dozing off leaning on her. She even reached out and gently supported Gu Qianning with a compassionate mood.

In her previous life, Gu Qianning died in the deep palace, at the hands of the man she loved most.

Seeing her still so alive in this life is better than anything else.

Even the abbot did not care if people in the hall dozed off. He was preaching solemnly, but would occasionally pause to look at all living beings with a compassionate and kind gaze.

Not everyone can understand the Buddhist scriptures, but the abbot will never chase them away if they don’t. He lectures day after day, year after year, with patience and tolerance, and the bearing of a master.

Every time Shen Wantang listened to the sutras, she would gain some insights and feel ashamed because she actually only understood half of what she heard.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Gu Qianhan. He was a rare genius and a child prodigy. When the abbot was preaching, he never seemed to show a confused expression. Did he understand everything?

Next time if there is anything you don’t understand, maybe you can ask him.
