Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingyuan frowned, "Do I have to report everything to you? Miss Liu originally went to visit Qingxi, but unexpectedly, we got along very well. We talked about everything from poetry and songs to the vicissitudes of life. I have a lot in common with her. She is talented and cares about the world. She is definitely not the sinister and vicious person you said."

Yuan Zheng looked at the smile in his eyes and listened to his increasingly gentle voice. He finally reacted and looked at Xiao Qingyuan in disbelief: "You are not - in love with Liu Nanshi, are you?"

"This... I don't know whether you like it or not, but I know that we are soulmates, soulmates."

Yuan Zheng was amazed by what he heard!

Hahahaha, this is so ridiculous!

What the hell is this? A soul mate? Liu Nanshi has more tricks than lotus roots, and Xiao Qingyuan has only half a trick, and he is still her soul mate?

What did he not know about liking or not? He clearly knew that he was attracted to Liu Nanshi! Otherwise, how could he praise Liu Nanshi over and over again and refuse to agree to match Liu Nanshi and Gu Qianhan!

Moreover, Liu Nanshi and Xiao Qingxi had a bad relationship at all. It was impossible for her to go to Prince Ning's Mansion to visit Xiao Qingxi. She had other intentions and she was definitely going for Xiao Qingyuan!

Yuan Zheng almost vomited blood. He had tried his best to make Gu Qianhan and Liu Nanshi a couple, but before Gu Qianhan could fall for it, Xiao Qingyuan fell into the trap first!

No, this absolutely cannot go on!

He had to go to Gu Qianhan and admit his mistake as soon as possible, even if he had to cry bitterly or kowtow on his knees, he had to change sides!

If he continued to get involved with Xiao Qingyuan, he was afraid that he would be killed by Xiao Qingyuan one day!

No matter how unpopular Gu Qianhan is, he still has brains. It is better to follow someone with brains than someone without brains but who thinks he is smart!

"Well, well, since Qingyuan and Miss Liu are close friends, then let's forget about her relationship with Gu Qianhan!"

Yuan Zheng bowed to Xiao Qingyuan and said, "I wish you to marry your beloved soon!"

Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? I've already told you that Miss Liu and I are close friends. There's nothing messy about it like you think!"

"Yes, yes, I was thinking dirty things. I will go home now and reflect on my mistakes!"

After Yuan Zheng finished speaking, he got off the carriage without even a moment's delay and went back to his own carriage.

As soon as he left, Chu Yanluo couldn't suppress the anger and jealousy in her heart, and asked Xiao Qingyuan: "Didn't the prince say that I was the only one you loved the most? How come, besides Huayi, you like Liu Nanshi now?"

Xiao Qingyuan suddenly became a little annoyed: "Why are you imitating Yuan Zheng? Nonsense! How can I like Liu Nanshi?"

"I have known the prince for such a long time, how could I not understand his mind? You said before that you and I were close friends, but I didn't expect that you would have a new close friend so soon! They say that the prince is a loving and good man, but now it seems that is not the case at all, he is just pretending."

"Chu Yanluo, you are mocking me? Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that! My previous infatuation with you, do you dare to say it was fake? Was it pretended? I even became a monk for you. If it was pretended, why would I go to such lengths!"

Chu Yanluo suddenly turned her face away and tears fell down.

She choked up and said, "It is true that the prince was infatuated with me in the past, but his infatuation was too short-lived."

"I have lived a lifetime, but I still haven't seen through the prince's true nature. I thought he only loved me."

"It wasn't until today that I realized that in my last life, I just kept a close eye on the prince, and no other woman ever appeared by your side. That's why you were always nice to me. But whenever another woman appeared, you would quickly change your mind."

When Xiao Qingyuan heard her crying, his heart softened: "Alright, alright, stop crying. How could I like Liu Nanshi? Why are you imitating that Shen Mingxuan now, always talking about the last life? Never mind which life it was, don't I like you? It's for you that I went against my father and mother, otherwise why would I be so embarrassed?"

Chu Yanluo cried even harder: "To be honest, it sounds nice, but you don't like me at all now! You like that bitch Huayi more than me! I lost, I completely lost!"

"I used to look down on Shen Wantang the most because she had never been favored by the prince, but now I know that Shen Wantang is the smartest one!"

"She doesn't take the prince seriously at all. As soon as she entered the palace, she began to please the prince and princess. She holds the power of housekeeper firmly in her hands. No one can touch her. Not you, not the princess. No matter who you like, she will always be the legal wife and the most respectable one."

"As a concubine, I am not even worthy of being on the stage. Even if I can make the most delicious snacks and the best scar removal cream, it will be useless! I will still be laughed at. I am not even qualified to eat and drink tea with the prince's friends!"

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't help but refute her: "Why doesn't Shen Wantang take me seriously? You have no idea how much she likes me. The new dress I'm wearing is made of the material she specially picked for me. She even wanted to make the dress for me herself. I didn't let her do it, and she cried sadly."

Chu Yanluo couldn't even cry anymore. She was speechless: "I said so much, and you only heard this one sentence? You don't care about how I'm doing at all. You only care about whether Shen Wantang takes you seriously?!"

Xiao Qingyuan was not happy: "Can you stop arguing with me all the time? I just want to correct your wrong perception. Shen Wantang really likes me. She likes me much more than you do!"

"Xiao Qingyuan, what did you say?! How could Shen Wantang like you more than me? She doesn't like you at all! I am the only one who truly likes you! All other women have ulterior motives towards you!"

Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly: "If Shen Wantang didn't like me, would he buy me such good material? Do you know how expensive it is? This material is packed in a golden nanmu box! Chu Yanluo, you said you like me, but did you buy it for me? You never bought me anything! Is this what you call love?"

Chu Yanluo was stuck for a moment, she found herself unable to refute!

Because she really had never bought anything for Xiao Qingyuan.

"What, you're speechless?"

Xiao Qingyuan glared at her and said, "I never lack anything, and I don't need women to buy things for me, but you haven't shown any sign of love at all, and you keep saying that you like me. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

"It's fine if you don't buy me anything. I won't bother with you for that. But don't ever say that Shen Wantang doesn't take me seriously. She treats me much better than you do!"
