Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Day two.

Xiao Qingyuan sobered up.

He got up with a splitting headache, looked around and found himself in the study, but he had no idea how he got there.

"Master, you are awake, but do you have a headache?"

Mo Ji saw him stand up and hurried over with a bowl in his hand: "This is the hangover soup I got from the Crown Prince's wife. Drink a bowl and your headache will go away."

Xiao Qingyuan frowned, "Why did you go to her place to get the hangover soup? Don't go there anymore in the future, Yan Luo will be jealous. I don't want to drink this hangover soup, you take it."

Mo Ji knelt down with a plop: "Master, I am not speaking for the Crown Prince's Consort, but the Crown Prince's Consort is really good. You treated her like that, and I said you were drunk, and she immediately asked someone to prepare sobering soup!"

"If the Crown Princess hadn't given you the hangover soup, you would have felt so uncomfortable last night. It would have been impossible for you to wake up so quickly today."

"Master, you were drunk and unconscious last night, and Miss Chu didn't care about you at all. Not to mention preparing sobering soup, she didn't even help you. She even refused to let you go to the inner room to rest, and insisted that I take you to the study."

Xiao Qingyuan's face instantly turned cold: "Mo Ji, even you have started to say bad things about Yan Luo behind her back? Who did you learn this from? Who instructed you? My mother? Or Shen Wantang?"

Mo Ji froze there: "No, sir, I just told the truth."

"I only allow you to commit insubordination this once. If you do it again, don't blame me for not considering our years of relationship as master and servant!"

Xiao Qingyuan suppressed his anger: "I am drunk and unconscious, you just serve me, why do you want Yan Luo to serve me? It has been less than a month since her miscarriage, and her body is weak. She should have rested well, how can she serve others?"

"You asked her to prepare the hangover soup, but where can she go to prepare it? The people in the kitchen don't even listen to me now, so how can they listen to her? If she goes to the kitchen, they will make things difficult for her!"

"Besides, what's wrong with her letting me sleep in the study? She can't stand the smell of alcohol and she has a very light sleep. It's reasonable for her not to let me sleep in the inner room!"

"Besides, I shouldn't have slept with her. She is a pure and innocent woman. I haven't given her a name yet, so how can I ruin her innocence?"

After hearing what he said, Mo Ji lowered his head.

It's over, the prince is completely hopeless.

He felt that the words "pure as ice and jade" were insulting when they were used to describe Chu Yanluo.

But he didn't dare to speak carelessly, for fear that he would really be kicked out by the prince.

He took out a purse from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Qingyuan: "Sir, this is what Mr. Gu left for you when he left last night. Before he left, he also said that next time you need money, just tell him directly, and don't call him to dinner."

Xiao Qingyuan took the bag, opened it and took a look, then threw it to Mo Ji: "He is also a timely help, keep a record, and when I have money, I will pay him back double."

"Yes."

Xiao Qingyuan ignored the servant. He stood up, washed, changed into clean clothes, and went to see Chu Yanluo.

As soon as he entered the inner room and saw Chu Yanluo lying on the bed, he was stunned for a moment.

Her face, which had been somewhat pale a few days ago, became moisturized and pink, and even her lips became plump and bright red, as if she had taken some magic medicine and suddenly became healthy.

"Yanluo, why do you look so good today?"

"Look? Are you okay?"

Chu Yanluo touched his cheek and said, "Maybe it was because we had so many dishes last night and I enjoyed it so much!"

Xiao Qingyuan suddenly blamed himself: "It's all my fault. I prepared too few dishes for you a few days ago and failed to replenish your body."

Chu Yanluo was tossed around by Yuan Zheng last night, and she felt extremely satisfied. Today, she became easy to talk to: "Your Highness, don't blame yourself. It doesn't matter what Yanluo eats. But your Highness, you seemed to be quite drunk last night. Are you feeling better today?"

Seeing that she was so reasonable and caring about him, Xiao Qingyuan was very touched: "I'm fine, I can drink quite well, don't worry."

As he was talking, a maid came in and said, "Sir, this is what Mo Ji handed in. He said it was a banknote from Master Yuan."

Xiao Qingyuan took it and saw that the banknotes inside were twice as thick as the ones Gu Qianhan gave him. He laughed and said, "Yanluo, look, this is the banknote Yuan Zheng gave me. It should be 20,000 taels. Now, no matter what you want to eat, I can buy it for you. Yuan Zheng is indeed my best brother. He is the most loyal!"

Chu Yanluo lay lazily on the bed, not even looking at the bag of banknotes: "The prince knows me, I am not interested in these, I am just moved by your sincerity, I think you are different from other men in this world, you are the most special, the one that makes my heart beat the most, so I follow you, it doesn't matter what you eat, I am not picky."

"However, since I am staying and eating here, and the prince has no money to spend, I can't live and eat for free. I will pay the prince."

When Xiao Qingyuan heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly: "Yanluo, what are you talking about? What do you mean by free food and accommodation? What do you mean by paying me money? Do we need to be so clear about the relationship between us? I don't need you to pay me money. I can always support you. As long as you are willing to be with me, I am willing to pay anything."

Chu Yanluo finally sat up and said proudly, "I don't need the prince to support me. I have plenty of ways to make money. I didn't do it before just because I'm not interested in gold and silver. Now the prince is in such a difficult situation, and you have to lose face and borrow money from others to provide for your daily expenses. How can I still live here with peace of mind?"

Xiao Qingyuan felt guilty and blamed himself: "I shouldn't have let you worry about these vulgar things. It's all my fault. But don't think too much. Yuan Zheng and Gu Qianhan are my brothers. It's okay to lend them some money to help them out. They won't laugh at me, and I have nothing to be ashamed of. Anyway, they also know that my father and mother are suppressing me."

Chu Yanluo snorted coldly, "I'm not talking about the eldest son Yuan and the second son Gu, I'm talking about Shen Wantang! It's okay for you to borrow money from your brother, but you also borrowed money from Shen Wantang last time. I can't stand it! I tell you, Shen Wantang has money, and so do I! Her money is from the palace, but mine is all earned by myself!"

Xiao Qingyuan was shocked: "Can you really make money?"

"Of course! It's not difficult to make money. I just didn't bother to make money before. Those things smell like money. Who would want them?"

Chu Yanluo took out a five-hundred-liang silver note from under the pillow and handed it to Xiao Qingyuan: "Take it and return it to Shen Wantang! Don't do it again in the future. If you are short of money, tell me and don't go to her!"

Yuan Zheng gave her this banknote before leaving last night after they had a great time playing all kinds of games in bed.
