Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Nanny Chai watched Xiao Qingyuan grow up, and she understood Xiao Qingyuan's character better than anyone else. He could not have come up with such words.

Her face turned cold, and she turned to look at Hua Yi: "You are talking nonsense in front of the prince again, right?"

"Mammy, I didn't!"

"No? If you hadn't gossiped in front of the prince, would he have misunderstood the princess like this? When did the princess become jealous of you having his child? The princess treats you well. Everything you have now was given to you by the princess. Is this how you repay her?"

Huayi hurriedly shook her head: "Mammy, you have wronged me. How could I say something bad about the Crown Prince's Consort in front of the Crown Prince? I have always only spoken well of the Crown Prince's Consort. Mammy, you are right!"

Xiao Qingyuan was very unhappy: "Mammy, you didn't come here just to teach the maid a lesson for me, did you? I know exactly what kind of person Shen Wantang is. Huayi never said that Shen Wantang was jealous of her having my child. She used envy! I thought it was inaccurate, so I changed it to jealousy!"

Nanny Chai looked at Tao Dai and Li Bai.

The two maids nodded quietly, indicating that what Xiao Qingyuan said was true.

Nanny Chai had an idea in mind. She knew that Huayi was indeed trying to flatter Shen Wantang in front of Xiao Qingyuan again, but she was very scheming. She was obviously trying to sow discord between them but she was deliberately being euphemistic so as not to give the impression of being a traitor in front of Xiao Qingyuan.

She suppressed her anger and said in a respectful tone, "Please forgive me, my lord. I am used to managing the maids, and I said a few more words in a hurry."

Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly: "If you're fine, just leave quickly. I don't want to see anyone around Shen Wantang!"

"Prince, the Crown Princess invites you to go to Wutong Garden."

"What are we going to do in Wutong Garden? Does she want to consummate our marriage again? I'm not going!"

"The prince has misunderstood. The princess did not mean that."

"And what does she mean?"

"The Crown Prince's Consort couldn't bear to see the Crown Prince always wearing old clothes, so she bought some fabric for you today. The Crown Prince's Consort also plans to sew new clothes for you herself, so she specially asked the Crown Prince to come over to measure your size."

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "Shen Wantang bought me fabrics?"

"Yes, it is made of excellent material! And the Crown Princess bought it for you with her own money!"

"She's going to sew new clothes for me herself?"

"Yes, the Crown Prince's wife's heart towards the Crown Prince is sincere!"

"Really?"

"It's more real than real gold, my prince! If the princess wants to perfunctorily deal with you, why not just give you the fabric and ask the maids to sew clothes for you? Why bother sewing it yourself? The princess really cares about you!"

"Well, what you said seems to make some sense."

Nanny Chai knew that he was easily influenced and his thoughts would often waver because of what others said.

Because Huayi said Shen Wantang was not good before, he would think Shen Wantang was not good.

Now that she says Shen Wantang is good, he will think Shen Wantang is also good.

"Please move on and go to Wutong Garden. The princess is waiting for you. She has personally selected the fabric and is looking forward to making new clothes for you. You can't let her down, can you? If you don't go, the princess will be sad and will never buy anything for you again, let alone think about you all the time!"

Xiao Qingyuan nodded: "Well, if that's the case, then I'll go there reluctantly!"

As he said this, he walked out.

Huayi's face changed slightly. Xiao Qingyuan just said that he would never pay attention to Shen Wantang again. Why did he change his mind in such a short time?

She watched Xiao Qingyuan walk out of the yard, gritted her teeth, and chased after him holding his clothes.

When they were almost at Shen Wantang's yard, she pretended to have just caught up with him and said breathlessly, "My Lord, it's so cold outside, you're not wearing a coat!"

Xiao Qingyuan waved his hands: "This dress was torn to pieces by that bastard Huo Yunzhou, how can I wear it? Shen Wantang just said she would make me a new one, so throw this torn one away!"

"Yes."

Huayi responded and followed Xiao Qingyuan into Shen Wantang's yard.

When Xiao Qingyuan saw her follow in, he didn't take it seriously. His mind was now focused on his new clothes.

He hadn't worn new clothes for a long time, not even for the Chinese New Year. Now that Shen Wantang had bought him new fabric, he felt like he was a child wearing new clothes for the Chinese New Year. He was expectant, happy, and a little nervous.

Although he had no idea what he was nervous about, this nervousness made him particularly happy.

"Shen Wantang!"

Before entering the house, Xiao Qingyuan shouted Shen Wantang's name: "I'm here, where is the fabric you bought for me? Are you kidding me?"

The door curtain was lifted, and Shen Wantang's face appeared in front of Xiao Qingyuan.

She smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Sir, come and take a look at the material I bought for you. Is it good?"

Xiao Qingyuan saw her smiling face and felt dazed for a moment.

Under the light, her fair skin had a soft halo, and her eyes were big and clear. Because she was smiling, she looked less distant and more tender.

She has red lips and white teeth, her black hair is like a waterfall, and her voice is as clear and pleasant as spring water, with a power that can cleanse people's hearts.

The rose-red moonlit dress on her makes her look like a blooming peony!

Is she so beautiful?

"Prince, Prince?"

Seeing Xiao Qingyuan in a daze, Shen Wantang couldn't help but call him twice.

Xiao Qingyuan came back to his senses: "Hey, what material did you buy for me? It can't be the bright red and green one you're wearing, right? This color is so tacky, I don't want it! That... this one of yours is so ugly, throw it away!"

Shen Wantang was in an especially good mood today. Even when he said she was ugly, she still smiled: "I know that the prince doesn't like such tacky colors, so I specially picked an elegant and special color for you. This color is unique in the capital. If the prince wears it out, it will never clash with others!"

Xiao Qingyuan was really curious now: "Really? Where is the material? Show it to me!"

Shen Wantang took a box made of golden nanmu wood and inlaid with rubies: "The fabric is in the box, please open it and take a look!"

Xiao Qingyuan was extremely poor now, and when he saw such a valuable box, he was slightly surprised.

The fabrics she bought for him were actually packed in such a luxurious box, which shows that the fabric must be even more expensive and luxurious, and very extraordinary!

But when he opened the box and saw the gray fabric inside, he was disappointed: "Why is it gray? It seems to have a little silver luster? Can this fabric be made into clothes that look good? Won't it look like a gray rat?"

"Sir, this is made of the finest grey silk and silver thread. It is extremely expensive and rare!"

"This... is expensive?"

"It's very expensive! Gray silk is naturally this color. Other fabrics need to be dyed, so they fade easily and are not good for the skin. But gray silk can protect the skin. It does not contain any dyes and will never fade."
