Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

"Princess, I just arrived. Do I have a gift as well?"

"Yes, we have them all. Du Juan, take out the rouge and powder from Yongchun Hall and share them with everyone."

"Oh my god, the Crown Prince's wife actually gave us Yongchuntang's rouge. This rouge costs five taels of silver per box. Many young ladies from wealthy families are reluctant to use it, but the Crown Prince's wife actually gave us so much!"

"The Crown Prince's Consort is a living Bodhisattva. I will sacrifice my life for her in the future!"

"It is our blessing to serve the Crown Prince's Consort. She has a good temper and never makes things difficult for the servants. She is also very generous. Everyone in the palace is vying to come to our Wutong Garden to serve her!"

Xiao Qingyuan was very surprised. He didn't expect Shen Wantang to be so popular, and he didn't expect the atmosphere in her Wutong Garden to be so good. It seemed that she was happy here every day, and the maids and old women were all very harmonious.

Even Aunt Chai, who always had a stern face, smiled after coming to her side.

As he was thinking, Mo Ji beside him couldn't help but sighed: "The Crown Prince's Concubine is so kind to the servants. She even brings gifts when she goes out. Qin Xin said that in just a few days, they have been conquered by the Crown Prince's Concubine's charm and all follow her wholeheartedly."

Xiao Qingyuan turned around and saw Mo Ji's envious look. He couldn't help but frowned: "Since you like this place so much, why don't you come here and serve?"

Mo Ji almost blurted out the word "good", but when he saw his master's expression, he knew that his master was unhappy. He shook his head quickly: "No, no, I just want to serve the prince. Although the prince's wife is good, she is far less good than the prince!"

Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly, knowing that the boy was speaking against his will. His life in Xingheyuan had not been very good these days. Mo Ji had to do the work of ten people alone and was almost exhausted.

Even so, Yan Luo was still not satisfied. Sometimes she complained that Mo Ji was not careful in his work, and sometimes she complained that Mo Ji looked at her with an evil look.

However, there are indeed too few people serving in his courtyard now, and it is very inconvenient for Yan Luo to have no maids to serve him. He should indeed buy a few maids and old women.

As he was thinking, he entered Wutong Garden.

The laughter and joy in the yard stopped immediately. Matron Chai led everyone in performing a respectful blessing ceremony, then stepped aside to make way for him to enter the house.

Shen Wantang frowned slightly when she saw Xiao Qingyuan. Why did he come again? Couldn't he come less often?

She complained in her heart but didn't show it on her face. She said calmly as always: "The prince is here."

Xiao Qingyuan nodded: "My mother asked me to come. She picked out a few things from my warehouse and asked me to bring them to you. She said that she liked the material you gave her very much."

"As long as mother likes it."

Shen Wantang didn't even look at what was in the box. He asked Qin Xin to take the box from Mo Ji, and then he stopped talking.

Firstly, she really didn't want to say anything more to Xiao Qingyuan, and secondly, she was afraid that if she said too much, Xiao Qingyuan would misunderstand that she liked him, which would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Xiao Qingyuan didn't want to say more to her, for fear that Yan Luo would misunderstand and become jealous. Last time when she came to borrow money, he stayed a little longer, and Yan Luo cried when he returned, so this time he was determined not to stay any longer.

So after delivering the things and completing the task, he turned around and left.

Only after he left did the yard become lively again.

Everyone was curious about what the prince had sent. Shen Wantang was not stingy and directly asked Qin Xin to open the box for everyone to see.

"Oh, they are all treasures. The princess really loves our Crown Prince's wife from the bottom of her heart. Every time she gives us a treasure, it is priceless!"

"Who said it wasn't? The princess treats our Crown Prince's wife like her own daughter. In the past, I have only seen the princess give gifts to the princess like this, but I have never seen the princess give gifts to others like this."

"Not only does the princess love the Crown Prince's wife, it seems that the Crown Prince also loves her, but he just doesn't say it. Otherwise, why would he let the princess pick things from his private storehouse to give to our Crown Prince's wife?"

"You're right, the prince still has the princess in his heart!"

No, he did not.

Shen Wantang replied in his heart.

Xiao Qingyuan only has Chu Yanluo in his heart. The degree to which he likes Chu Yanluo is much deeper than what he has shown so far, but these maids don't know it.

He came to deliver the gifts, it must be because the princess forced him to come. As for the treasures in his storehouse, he didn't really take them seriously. If the princess wanted to take them, he would naturally agree and would not object.

However, Shen Wantang didn't care who Xiao Qingyuan liked. Anyway, the thing fell into her hands and she got the benefits, which was enough.

She only wanted gold, silver and jewelry. As for Xiao Qingyuan's love, she would give it to Chu Yanluo.

The bracelet given by the princess was really beautiful. Shen Wantang liked it quite much. In her two lifetimes, this was the first time she got a jade bracelet with such good water content. It was green, like a pool of clear lake water.

She took it and put it on her wrist. Her past life experience taught her that if you get something good, you should wear it and use it. If you earn money, you should spend it. If you don't wear the treasure and don't use the money, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes. You will feel less happy and satisfied. Even these treasures and money will fall into the hands of others. If you don't spend it yourself, there will always be someone else to spend it for you.

Shen Wantang raised her wrist and looked at the beautiful bracelet for a long time, then smiled and decided to wear the bracelet when she paid her respects tomorrow. Her mother-in-law would surely be very happy to see her wearing it.

But not long after Shen Wantang wore the bracelet, an uninvited guest came to her Wutong Garden - Chu Yanluo.

She was wearing a light yellow dress, and her long hair was loosely tied up with a wooden hairpin, with a few strands of hair left in front of her forehead and by her ears.

Shen Wantang took a look at her. Her clothes obviously didn't fit her. It was obvious that they were not tailor-made, but ready-made clothes bought from a clothing store. The color was not what Chu Yanluo liked. She always wore white clothes. Even when she was a nun in Jixin Temple, she was different from other nuns. Other nuns wore gray clothes, but she insisted on wearing white clothes.

As for why Xiao Qingyuan knew Chu Yanluo liked white clothes but didn't buy them for her, it was probably because those ready-made clothing shops didn't sell white clothes at all. If you want to buy a set of white clothes, you have to go to a shop that specializes in selling funeral supplies.

Chu Yanluo's hairstyle was also not in line with the rules for a decent girl. Only women in brothels would tie their hair like this and leave loose hair on their temples.

However, Chu Yanluo is indeed beautiful, and not the kind of gaudy and seductive beauty, but the kind of elegant and indifferent beauty.

Her outstanding beauty, unique dressing style, and proud and unconventional temperament really made her very different from the well-behaved young ladies in the capital. It was normal for Xiao Qingyuan to fall in love with her at first sight and then fall madly in love with her.
