Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang asked her: "What's the matter?"

"Miss Liu has been to the Huo family to wish General Huo and Madam Huo a happy new year!"

"What's so strange about that?"

"You may not know, but the Liu family and the Huo family have never had any dealings with each other before, and they don't visit each other during the New Year. This is because Elder Liu and General Huo always have different political views. I heard that they had a big argument in the court a few years ago! So when I heard that Miss Liu suddenly went to the Huo family, I felt confused!"

Shen Wantang thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "So that's it."

"What did the Crown Princess think of?"

"Our princess has really offended a lot of people. Liu Nanshi has started to retaliate against her so quickly."

"You mean, Miss Lin's visit to our palace is related to Miss Liu? Because the princess offended Miss Liu?"

Shen Wantang said firmly, "Of course it's related to Liu Nanshi, otherwise Lin Rouxin wouldn't have suddenly changed her mind and wanted to be the prince's adopted sister. This move is cruel enough."

"First, the princess' husband was snatched away, and then her brother was snatched away. When she comes to her senses, she will probably be so angry that she will die."

"Lin Rouxin took Huo Yunzhou's punch for Xiao Qingyuan. Her target might not only be Huo Yunzhou, but also Xiao Qingyuan. She wants to kill two birds with one stone!"

Qin Xin was stunned: "This Miss Lin is even more scheming than I thought. She is arguing with the princess and won't stop until she piss her off to death!"

Shen Wantang smiled and said, "It's not bad for the princess to meet such an opponent."

The stronger Lin Rouxin's fighting ability is, the better. This way, Xiao Qingxi will no longer have the energy to cause trouble for her.

Just let Lin Rouxin stay in the palace and see how they fight.

"Madame Chai!"

"Princess, please give your orders."

"Miss Lin is injured, go get her a doctor!"

"Yes."

"Also, I'm afraid her yard doesn't have all the things. You should go and see what she needs and buy her some so that Miss Lin can live more comfortably. Then give her this month's allowance, as well as new clothes and embroidered shoes made of the same material as the princess. Since she is already the Crown Prince's adopted sister recognized by our father, the king, and our mother, her treatment should not be too bad."

"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."

Nanny Chai took the order and left.

A moment later, Xiao Qingyuan came: "Shen Wantang, Rouxin is injured and vomited blood. You are proficient in medicine, go and take a look at her!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I've already heard about this matter and have sent Madam Chai to invite an imperial physician for Miss Lin. In addition, Your Highness said yesterday that Miss Lin's clothing should be similar to that of a princess. I've already given the order and will send it to Miss Lin soon. Your Highness can also help to check it out and change it for Miss Lin if there's anything that doesn't fit."

Shen Wantang's tone was quite gentle, because Xiao Qingyuan brought back an extremely strong opponent for Xiao Qingxi, and she felt much more favorable towards Xiao Qingyuan.

Her tone was gentle, and Xiao Qingyuan swallowed back the words that he had originally intended to say to force her to treat Lin Rouxin's injuries.

After spending a long time together, he more or less understood that Shen Wantang was not someone who could be cured by everyone, and there was no point in forcing her to cure someone she was unwilling to cure.

It would be better to ask the imperial physician to see Lin Rouxin.

Xiao Qingyuan looked at Shen Wantang hesitantly: "Why is your tone not as cold as before? Why did you take the initiative to send something to Rouxin? Are you trying to please me?"

"Yes!"

Shen Wantang lied without blinking an eye. She stood up and walked to Xiao Qingyuan, saying affectionately: "Miss Lin is the prince's adopted sister, so she is also my adopted sister. If I treat Miss Lin better, will the prince like me more?"

As she spoke, she tugged at Xiao Qingyuan's sleeve: "My Lord, when do you think we should consummate our marriage? How about tonight?"

Xiao Qingyuan was startled, goosebumps all over his body. He pulled back his sleeves abruptly and said with a tense expression, "Shen Wantang, why are you pulling and tugging? Respect yourself!"

"Aiya, what are you talking about, my lord? I am your wife. Do you think I have no self-respect if I pull your sleeve? What if I take off your clothes, what will you do?"

Xiao Qingyuan covered his chest in fear: "You dare?!"

"I have been obsessed with the prince and have coveted him for a long time. What is there to be afraid of?"

"You--!! Shut up! Ridiculous, really ridiculous! Shen Wantang, you are such a bad woman who speaks without restraint! I thought you were a noble person, but you pretended too well before! You are so hypocritical!"

Shen Wantang looked innocent: "Your Highness has really wronged me. I have a sincere heart towards you, without any falsehood. As for my previous pretense, it was only because I loved you too much that I had no choice but to do so."

Shen Wantang said as she pulled his collar: "I see, the prince has a crush on me, otherwise he wouldn't always come to my yard. Prince, take off your clothes!"

"I won't take it off!"

"Du Juan, come here quickly and help the prince change his clothes."

"I said I won't take it off! Don't touch me!"

Du Juan heard the tone of his roar change. She walked forward with her head lowered, not daring to look at Xiao Qingyuan's expression. She reached out to unbutton Xiao Qingyuan's collar, but accidentally touched the skin on his neck.

Then, she heard Xiao Qingyuan scream like a ghost, and then ran out of Wutong Garden without looking back.

Du Juan looked at him running away and suddenly remembered an idiom Shen Wantang had taught her - flee in panic.

Tsk, it’s really suitable for the prince!

When Shen Wantang saw Xiao Qingyuan running away, she looked relieved: "This trick is really useful. If I had known that the prince was so easy to deceive, I would have told him that I admired him a long time ago!"

Du Juan shook her head after hearing this: "Princess, the scar on the prince's face is so obvious, you should show some concern and show your sympathy. You even turned a blind eye to his scars, and even if you say you love him, I'm afraid no one would believe you!"

"Oh, I forgot to perform this scene. Maybe next time! But it doesn't matter whether I perform it or not, because ghosts don't believe it, but the prince does!"

Shen Wantang gave Du Juan a pleasant smile: "Come here and continue grinding the ink. I think copying seems to be of some use. Write a few more tonight!"

She was relaxed and happy, but Xiao Qingyuan was frowning.

He returned to his own courtyard, sighing continuously. Even when Mo Ji came to tell him that he had ordered the guards to drive Huo Yunzhou out of the palace, he just said "hmm" perfunctorily.

Mo Ji felt strange: "Master, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep sighing? Are you in trouble?"

"Trouble? I don't know if this is trouble or not. Shen Wantang is becoming more and more fond of me. I went to her yard just now and she almost stripped me of my clothes and forced me to consummate the marriage! Fortunately, I escaped quickly, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back today!"

Mo Ji's eyes widened: "What?! The Crown Prince's Consort...she is such a stable person, how could she do such a thing?"

"Alas, it's all because I was born too handsome. I treated her so badly, but she still loved me wholeheartedly. How can I have the nerve to scold her in the future?"

Mo Ji: “…”
