Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

At that time, the previous emperor passed away and the crown prince succeeded to the throne. The crown princess Gu Qianning became the new queen after her aunt. The Gu family had two daughters in a row become queens, and they were already extremely powerful, even to the point where they could challenge the emperor and influence his decision.

When the previous emperor was in power, he was already very wary of the Gu family. He even left a secret order to the crown prince, asking him to eliminate the Gu family directly if necessary.

The new emperor is more afraid of the Gu family than the previous emperor was. The new emperor happened to be the mastermind behind the injustice that Gu Qianhan wanted to redress. If the case is really investigated, the new emperor will lose face and the support of the people.

So he decided to go all out and eradicate the Gu family completely. He used the secret order left to him by the late emperor to accuse the Gu family of treason and directly wiped out the entire family.

After the entire Gu family was executed, Gu Qianning was deposed and then died in the palace.

Gu Qianhan did not collapse even in this situation. He had clear thinking and created a small and relatively stable world for his young nephews and nieces. For them, he took the initiative to expose himself in exchange for the children's chance of survival.

After being arrested, he was subjected to all kinds of torture in prison. The talented nobleman was tortured beyond recognition, but he refused to reveal the whereabouts of the two children, let alone admit the charge of treason against the Gu family.

Shen Wantang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he ventured into the cell to feed him medicine.

She still clearly remembered the gratitude and relief in his eyes when he swallowed the pill with difficulty.

How could such a person run to Xiao Qingyuan's yard and attack the woman who was doted on by Xiao Qingyuan?

Shen Wantang tilted her head and thought for a while, but soon stopped thinking about it because this was a matter between Xiao Qingyuan and Gu Qianhan and had little to do with her.

She was more interested in the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers of Dafeng, but unfortunately she could not visit it in person and could only read about it in books.

This time, Qin Xin didn't bother her again.

Although she was anxious, she felt that only someone as steady as the Crown Prince's Consort could be the Crown Prince's Consort. If the Crown Prince's Consort was as anxious and concerned about everything as she was, she might not be able to be the Crown Prince's Consort.

Qin Xin left the inner room and ran out to find out various news.

The master can be calm and not care, but as a maid, she must always collect first-hand information for the master, so that if the master wants to know something, she can give an accurate answer in the first time.

Dujuan watched Qinxin go out and felt extremely envious.

Qin Xin was very popular in the entire palace. She could chat with everyone, whether they were maids or servants and guards. Even the strict maids in the palace liked her very much and were willing to share secrets with her.

No matter what happens in the mansion, Qin Xin is always the first to know it, and she is very considerate of the Crown Prince's Consort and will be very eager to protect her face and interests.

Du Juan sometimes felt that she was useless. After arriving at the palace, she discovered that she was inferior to others in every way. She was not as knowledgeable as others, not as capable as others, and even not as good as others at scolding people.

She lowered her head in frustration and didn't even hear Shen Wantang calling her.

Shen Wantang felt a little thirsty while reading, and wanted to ask Du Juan to pour her a cup of tea, but she found that the girl was standing there with her head down, distracted.

Shen Wantang walked over and patted her with amusement: "Du Juan, what are you thinking about? You didn't even respond when I called you."

Du Juan was startled: "Ah? Did the Crown Prince's Consort call me a maid?"

"What's wrong with you? Are you worried?"

"No... I just feel that I am useless and can't help the Crown Prince's wife in anything."

"Nonsense, how come you are useless? When I was not the Crown Prince's Consort of the Ning Wangfei, didn't you accompany me through all the hardships since childhood? Other people respect me a little because I am the Crown Prince's Consort, but you don't."

Du Juan's eyes were red. "You are different now, you need a more capable maid, but I can't seem to do anything right. Chu Yanluo is occupying the prince, and the prince's wife finally found an opportunity to overthrow her, but she rose again so quickly. I can't help at all, and I can't even get any information."

Shen Wantang shook her head helplessly: "Is it the first day you knew about the prince's infatuation with Chu Yanluo? Didn't we already know about it before I married into the palace? I have been mentally prepared for this, so this matter is not a big deal for me, and you don't have to worry about it."

"Besides, I have no intention of bringing down Chu Yanluo. She is not worthy of being brought down by me. I just want to give her a warning and make her suffer a little."

In Shen Wantang's heart, she had never considered Chu Yanluo as an opponent. Even though Chu Yanluo was also reborn, she was not qualified to be her opponent.

Shen Wantang encouraged her maid: "Don't compare your shortcomings with others' strengths. You should look at your own advantages. You have patience and carefulness that others don't have, and you are loyal to me. That's why I give all my jewelry and banknotes to you for safekeeping. I wouldn't feel at ease if I gave them to someone else."

After hearing this, Dujuan felt much better.

She burst into laughter and said, "Princess, what did you just call me to do? I didn't hear you."

Shen Wantang: "Pour the tea. I'm so thirsty."

Du Juan was very happy to be asked to work, even if it was a small thing like pouring tea. As long as Shen Wantang needed her, she felt that she was still useful.

the other side.

In Shaoguang Courtyard.

When Princess Ning heard that Xiao Qingyuan had personally released Chu Yanluo from the woodshed, and had even come out holding her hand, she was so angry that she smashed a white jade tea bowl on the spot.

"That bastard is hopeless!"

Princess Ning was furious: "This has happened twice! That Chu Yanluo has slept with other men twice. Once she got pregnant with a bastard, and once she slept with him in Qingyuan's room. It's so disgusting, and Qingyuan can actually forgive her? Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"How could I have given birth to such a useless thing? My reputation and the prince's reputation have been completely ruined by him!"

"Has he never seen a woman in his eight lifetimes? Why did he choose Chu Yanluo so carefully? What's so good about her?"

Nanny Quan hurriedly comforted her: "Princess, don't be angry. What if you get sick from anger? This palace still depends on you to support it, and the Crown Prince's wife also needs your support!"

When Princess Ning heard this, she immediately took deep breaths and tried to calm her anger: "Yes, I can't let myself be angry to death. I have to support Tang'er, otherwise she will be eaten by Chu Yanluo without leaving a bone!"

Nanny Quan added, "Don't worry, the prince was just deceived for a moment. As time goes by, the prince will see the true nature of the person. One day, the prince will see clearly what kind of person that bitch is."
