Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Qin Xin was stunned. She really couldn't understand why she said such an irrelevant sentence. She stamped her feet anxiously: "Crown Princess, why are you still concerned about whether it will rain or not? You should be paying attention to the Crown Prince. This is a good opportunity for you to take advantage of the opportunity!"

Shen Wantang: "I'm really concerned about the prince, right? I helped him find out about Chu Yanluo and the man behind her. He owes me a big favor!"

Qin Xin shook her head helplessly: "Prince's Consort, why don't you understand? It's not enough to just let the prince owe you a favor. The prince respects you more than he loves you now. You have to make him like you, just like he likes Chu Yanluo, putting you first in everything and considering you everywhere."

Shen Wantang smiled and said, "As long as he respects me, I am already very satisfied. People should not be too greedy."

She actually felt that her current relationship with Xiao Qingyuan was pretty good and there was no need to change.

After Shen Wantang finished speaking, she ignored the maid's anxiety and went back to reading.

After watching for a while, she felt a little sleepy and went to bed to rest.

Du Juan always thought that she read books to learn things, but sometimes, she also used some obscure books to hypnotize herself.

It’s no wonder that the more difficult the book is to understand, the better the hypnotic effect it has.

Shen Wantang soon fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, she was woken up by Qin Xin.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a bolt of lightning striking outside, illuminating the entire yard, followed by a loud thunderclap.

She suddenly sobered up a bit and asked her maid, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"The Crown Princess, the Crown Prince..."

"What's up with him?"

"He seems to be drunk. He sits outside our yard and doesn't move. His whole body is soaked. No one can persuade him. Why don't you go and persuade him?"

Shen Wantang sat up immediately: "Why didn't you say so earlier? How long has he been sitting here?"

"I have been sitting here for an hour."

Shen Wantang couldn't help but stroke his forehead: "Next time something like this happens, wake me up immediately, otherwise the prince will be soaked and his mother will be heartbroken."

Qin Xin was very happy and felt that the Crown Prince's wife had finally started to care about the Crown Prince. She said that she was afraid that the Princess would feel sorry for the Crown Prince, but in fact, she must have felt sorry for the Crown Prince herself, but she was too thin-skinned to say it.

Shen Wantang didn't know that the maid was thinking so much. While putting on her shoes, she was thinking that what the maid had said before made a lot of sense. She couldn't ruin her relationship with Xiao Qingyuan. After all, he was her husband and they still had a long time to spend together in the future!

Moreover, Shen Wantang knew what was going on and had self-knowledge. No matter how well she did as a daughter-in-law and how much her mother-in-law liked her, she could not compare to Xiao Qingyuan. After all, Xiao Qingyuan was his mother-in-law's biological son, and blood was thicker than water, which was human nature.

Even though her mother-in-law treats her very well now, if Xiao Qingyuan gets caught in the rain and gets sick, her mother-in-law will definitely be distressed and angry.

After putting on her shoes, Shen Wantang didn't bother to change her clothes. She just put on a cloak, picked up a lantern, and hurried out.

Qin Xin held an umbrella for her and walked to the door with her.

At the door, Xiao Qingyuan was sitting and Mo Ji was standing. Their umbrella was stepped on and torn to pieces and thrown aside.

Both of them were soaked like drowned rats.

Seeing Shen Wantang coming out, Mo Ji showed a look of surprise and hope on his face: "Crown Princess, please persuade the Crown Prince, he just refuses to take shelter from the rain!"

Shen Wantang sighed slightly: "Prince, why are you sitting here in the middle of the night? Go back quickly, you will get sick."

Xiao Qingyuan, who had refused to talk to anyone before, raised his head when he heard her voice.

A hint of vulnerability appeared on his handsome face: "Shen Wantang, can you stay with me for a while? I feel so bad."

Shen Wantang nodded: "I can stay with you as long as you want, but you should go inside first. It's cold on a rainy night and you will catch a cold."

"What's the big deal about catching a cold? Now, I feel like life is meaningless, I'd rather die."

"I gave my heart to you, but all I got was betrayal. Tell me, why do people always fail to appreciate what they have? Why do they sleep with other men? I can't understand."

"If I die, will Yan Luo be sad? Or will she be happy? Will she feel that I am no longer an obstacle and she can be with Yuan Zheng openly?"

Shen Wantang was startled, fearing that he would really commit suicide, and quickly said, "If you want to know the answer, you must live well. Only by living can you have the opportunity to verify your guess."

"Besides, didn't the prince give Miss Chu a night to reflect? You can talk to her again tomorrow morning, maybe you will get an answer."

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her in a drunken state and said abruptly, "Shen Wantang, you are very beautiful. You are somewhat like her."

Shen Wantang didn't think this was a compliment at all. She didn't want to look like Chu Yanluo, but unfortunately her appearance was given by her parents and she couldn't change it.

The heavy rain continued. Although Qin Xin held an umbrella for her, her shoes and skirt soon got wet.

She didn't like this damp and cold feeling, so she told Mo Ji, "Help the prince into the house."

Mo Ji had helped the prince before, but the prince never got up. He thought that the prince would not get up this time either. Unexpectedly, the prince stood up as soon as he helped him.

Mo Ji breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that only the Crown Prince's Consort's intervention would work!

He helped the prince into the house, and Nanny Chai quickly brought him some sobering soup and fed it to him.

Qinxin took a handkerchief and wrung out the prince's hair, while Shuxiang ran to Xingheyuan to get a set of clean clothes for the prince to change into.

Qi Yu went to the kitchen to get some food, because the prince only drank wine tonight and didn't eat anything.

Huayi squatted down, took off the prince's wet shoes and silk socks, wiped his feet clean, and put on new silk socks and shoes.

Mo Ji looked at everything in the room and almost burst into tears. The balance in his heart instantly tipped towards Shen Wantang.

He couldn't help but sigh, worthy of being the Crown Prince's Consort, she arranged everything so orderly, properly and meticulously, and she took care of the Crown Prince so wholeheartedly, it was touching. Compared with Chu Yanluo, there was a world of difference.

No, that's not right. Chu Yanluo is not worthy of being compared with the Crown Prince's Consort!

Chu Yanluo didn't care about the prince at all. On weekdays, it was only the prince who took care of her, but she had never seen her take care of the prince. Moreover, when the prince drank, she would only dislike the smell of alcohol on him and would drive him out. She was unwilling to serve him at all.

Obviously, it was not only Mo Ji who felt the difference between the two people, Xiao Qingyuan also felt it.

He drank the sobering soup and his mind became clearer. He was staring at Shen Wantang intently.
