Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Tianyi Building.

Because it is located right opposite the Shendan Hall, it has been packed with guests these days, and even the wine in the restaurant is not enough to sell.

It was noon and the Shendan Hall was packed with people, all rushing to buy the miracle medicine.

Tianyi Building is also very lively.

"Hey, have you heard? The Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Pills from the Divine Pill Hall contain a banned drug, Blue Gold!"

"Impossible? Blue gold is addictive. A big pharmacy like Shendantang would not sell such a thing and ruin its reputation."

"Tsk tsk, don't think of Shendan Hall as too sacred. They have sold problematic herbs and pills before, and even killed people! But they have a powerful backer, so they don't have to go to court even if they kill a few people, and their business is still booming!"

"That's right. This Shendan Hall makes a lot of dirty money! If they want to buy the magic medicine, they have to buy a lot of random medicinal materials first. Only when they buy enough five hundred taels can they buy the magic medicine! If you can't reach this threshold, don't even think about entering the door on the second floor! Looking at the entire capital, who is as domineering as his family in doing business?"

"But if there are so many problems, why are there so many people scrambling to buy their so-called miracle drugs?"

"Tsk, there are so many rich fools! There is no shortage of rich people in our capital! Five hundred taels is a lot of money for us, but for those young masters and ladies, it's just a piece of ox hair."

"By the way, I have another piece of gossip. I heard that the treasury of the Divine Pill Hall was robbed! All the money earned from selling the magic medicine was stolen by the thieves!"

"What? There is such a thing? Could it be that some great hero couldn't stand the shameless behavior of Shendan Hall to amass money crazily, so he took justice into his own hands?"

"I don't know the specific reason. I only know that Shendan Hall has reported it to the police. I heard that the amount of silver stolen is not small. The big shot behind Shendan Hall is furious!"

……

Gu Qianhan sat in a seat by the window, drinking tea and listening to the discussions in the lobby on the first floor.

He deliberately did not book a private room on the third floor today, but instead booked a seat in the lobby, just to hear the news outside.

Gu Qianhan was not surprised that there was something wrong with the medicine from Shendantang. He had bought the medicine before just to verify whether there were any banned substances in it. After all, Shendantang had sold many medicines containing banned substances before, and even blatantly sold banned substances directly.

As for the silver of Shendan Hall, it was naturally stolen by his people.

Originally, he was struggling to recruit soldiers and horses, but after robbing the treasury of Shendan Hall, he became rich overnight and his financial problems were alleviated at once.

Gu Qianhan planned to rob the prince's other shop again.

"Gu Qianhan!"

A familiar voice came into his ears, Gu Qianhan slowly raised his head, and saw Xiao Qingyuan standing at the door of Shendan Hall.

Following him were Chu Yanluo and Yuan Zheng.

Gu Qianhan said indifferently: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Qingyuan lifted his sleeves and walked towards Tianyi Building: "Nothing, I just haven't seen you for a few days, and I suddenly want to talk to you."

Gu Qianhan followed him as he walked, her eyes falling on his clothes.

This color……

Isn't this the piece of fabric that Shen Wantang took from Jinxiu Pavilion a few days ago? When he was having lunch at the restaurant opposite Jinxiu Pavilion that day, he saw her holding the piece of fabric and talking to her cousin for a long time.

Could it be that she got this material specially for Xiao Qingyuan?

After a moment, Xiao Qingyuan walked to Gu Qianhan's side.

He sat down opposite Gu Qianhan without any hesitation, and also arranged for Yuan Zheng and Chu Yanluo to sit down as well.

"Gu Qianhan, what are you wearing? This material and pattern are no longer in fashion!"

As soon as Xiao Qingyuan arrived, he began to belittle Gu Qianhan's clothes, and then he pointed at his own clothes: "Look at mine, this silver-gray color is the most fashionable!"

"And let me tell you, the ones you have are all dyed, which is bad for your health and will fade. They are so vulgar! Mine are natural colors! Thick, soft, elegant, and will never fade!"

"Do you know who picked the material and color for me? You definitely don't know that it was Shen Wantang who picked it for me! I didn't want it at first, but she begged me to accept it, so I had to accept it reluctantly to save her face."

"Tsk, even though she wears colorful clothes every day, the material she picked for me is extremely elegant and noble. Tell me, does she have good taste or not?"

Gu Qianhan's expression turned a little ugly.

In the past, he always made Xiao Qingyuan mad to death, but now it was Xiao Qingyuan's turn to be mad at him.

He stared at the clothes on Xiao Qingyuan's body, and the more he looked at it, the more he disliked it!

He said coldly: "Xiao Qingyuan, what do you mean? Are you coming to me to show off your good relationship with your prince's wife? What, you don't favor your concubines and maids now? Do favor the prince's wife instead? If you do favor the prince's wife instead, then I won't be polite!"

Xiao Qingyuan immediately shook his head: "No, no, I definitely don't mean that. Shen Wantang and I are just like each other in appearance, maybe she does love me deeply, but I don't have any feelings for her at all!"

"Everyone in the capital knows that Shen Wantang was chosen by my mother for me as the Crown Prince's Consort. I was forced to marry her!"

"Yanluo, you have been living in the palace. You know the situation between Shen Wantang and me best. Please help me explain, do Shen Wantang and I have no feelings for each other?"

Chu Yanluo looked at Gu Qianhan, then at the diners around him who were listening attentively to the noise, and raised the corners of her lips: "What the prince said is true. The prince's consort is not liked by the prince."

"So, the Crown Prince's wife tried every possible way to please the Crown Prince, and even spent a lot of money to buy this expensive and special fabric and personally sewed a set of clothes for the Crown Prince."

"It's a pity that the prince doesn't like the princess, so naturally he doesn't care about the things she gives him. If the prince wasn't kind-hearted and worried about throwing away the dress and damaging the princess's face, he wouldn't wear it!"

When the people around heard this, they immediately started talking about it.

"What? The clothes that Prince Xiao is wearing were sewn by the Princess herself? I didn't expect that the Princess's housekeeper is such a good hand, and is also so good at needlework!"

"What's the use of being so powerful? You still can't win the favor of Prince Xiao. I guess the princess is crying every day in the palace. How pitiful!"

"That's right. Look at how proud Concubine Chu is. The prince always takes her with him when he goes out, but never takes the prince's consort with him. It's obvious that Concubine Chu is superior to the prince's consort in every way!"

"She is the legal wife, but she lives worse than a concubine. I'm afraid that the prince's wife is the only one in Dafeng! Just thinking about it makes me laugh!"

"She is such a wimp. She has to cry and beg the prince to accept the clothes she made, and she has to be ridiculed by a concubine. What's the point of her life?"
