Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Of course Liao Youhe also felt sorry for his younger brothers and sisters. In order to make a bed for Shen Wantang, they all had blisters on their hands and were sweating from exhaustion. He wanted to say something to Shen Wantang, but when he saw Shen Wantang giving money to his younger brothers and sisters, he chose to shut up.

The youngest, Xiaowu, was only eleven years old. She did the least and the lightest work, which was just moving wood back and forth, but Shen Wantang also gave her two taels of silver.

Two taels of silver were enough for their family to eat for more than a month.

Xiaowu got the money, so she didn't care about the blisters. She got blisters a lot when she was doing housework anyway, so she didn't take it seriously at all.

She held Shen Wantang's arm and kept calling her sister-in-law, her words as sweet as honey. When the old lady scolded Shen Wantang, she was the first one to jump out and confront the old lady.

After Du Juan told Shen Wantang about the hardships Shen Mingxuan had endured, she hurried out of the courtyard and continued to inquire for news.

After a while, she came back again, her little face flushed with excitement: "Miss, they said that the eldest lady had a quarrel with her husband, and the husband didn't even talk to her. And, they didn't even consummate their marriage!"

Shen Wantang glared at her: "Why are you asking about this too? Speak softly, it's not good if someone hears you."

As she spoke, she stuffed a grape into Dujuan's mouth, trying to block her mouth.

Du Juan ate the grapes and squatted in front of her: "Miss, now everyone in the mansion knows about it, and you are the last one to know it!"

Shen Wantang was speechless for a moment.

Was she the last one in the mansion to know about this?

This is what it looks like on the surface, but she actually knew long ago that Liao Youhe and Shen Mingxuan would never be able to consummate their marriage.

But the question is, how could Shen Mingxuan let this matter be known to the whole government? If the whole government knew about it, it would be known to the whole capital. I am afraid that many people will point fingers at her and ridicule her in the future.

Shen Wantang did not consummate her marriage with Liao Youhe in her previous life, but no one in the entire Shen family knew about it. Moreover, when she returned home, Liao Youhe respected and protected her in every way.

quarrel?

Liao Youhe never quarreled with her once in ten years.

Shen Mingxuan had a quarrel three days after getting married?

Shen Wantang shook her head. How her life would be like depended entirely on how she managed it. Shen Mingxuan thought that by marrying in an exchange marriage she could live a life that everyone envied, but she was totally wrong.

Controlling and training a man is also a science. Some people can learn it with ease without any instruction, while others may never reach the threshold in their entire life.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

Shen Wantang also had her second wedding.

This time, the extremely dazzling ruby ​​gold crown was delivered to her.

On the eve of the wedding, the teaching nanny sent by Prince Ning's Mansion came to say goodbye to Shen Wantang: "Second Miss, I have completed my mission and will return to the palace now. When I see you again tomorrow, I will change my words."

Shen Wantang smiled and said, "Thank you, Nanny Quan, for teaching me the rules and making me know etiquette. When I go to the palace in the future, please give me more guidance."

As she spoke, she called Dujuan over.

Dujuan handed over an exquisite little box.

Shen Wantang took it and put it into Nanny Quan's hands: "Mammy, you are also my etiquette teacher. This is a small gift from me to you. Please don't despise it."

Nanny Quan looked at her in surprise. After teaching the second young lady for half a month, she had left a very deep impression on her. She was smart, beautiful, calm and down-to-earth.

Sometimes she would feel that this second young lady did not look like a sixteen-year-old girl at all. She was even more disillusioned with the world than many old people.

I didn't expect that she would give her a gift, and she found such a good excuse.

If she accepted the gift, then it would be justified for her to accept it.

Nanny Quan accepted the box, blessed Shen Wantang, and left.

After leaving the Shen family’s gate, she opened the box.

There was a golden hairpin lying quietly in the box. It was ordinary and inconspicuous in style, but it felt very heavy in the hand.

Nanny Quan nodded with satisfaction. The Second Young Miss was truly a kind-hearted lady. If she gave her a hairpin like this, it wouldn't look bad to anyone who wore it. She could even melt it down and make a new one without feeling sorry for the original style.

She quickly returned to Prince Ning's Mansion and reported to Princess Ning.

Princess Ning sat on the armchair and asked calmly, "How is it?"

Nanny Quan answered respectfully, "Princess, she is honest and dutiful, simple-minded but not dull, beautiful but not proud, of humble origin but not timid and cowardly. Princess, you have a keen eye for talent and have chosen a very good consort for the prince."

Princess Ning was very surprised. Nanny Quan was an elder person around her, and no one knew better than her how strict she was. She didn't expect that she would praise the little concubine's daughter from the Yuanwailang family so highly.

"Is that kid really that good?"

"When you marry in, the princess will know that I am not exaggerating. The second Miss Shen must have been hiding her incompetence in the past, which is why she is unknown in the capital."

After hearing what she said, Princess Ning finally felt relieved: "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask her to be honest and decent. Yuan'er is bewitched and has been seduced by a man who doesn't keep his wife's chastity. He has brought shame to the entire palace. If he marries someone with evil intentions again, the palace will really become the biggest laughing stock in the capital."

In fact, the palace has become a laughing stock in the whole capital, and Princess Ning has even been unwilling to go out for a long time.

"Princess, you know. I am always very good at judging people. I am sure I am right about Second Miss Shen this time. Who knows, the prince might change his mind because of this."

"I also hope that there is someone in my family who can hold him back, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen someone who looks so much like that one. The prince of Ning became a monk for something like that. He has no future at all. I wish I didn't have such a son!"

Princess Ning coughed angrily, and Nanny Quan hurried forward to pat her back to help her calm down.

Princess Ning calmed the itch in her throat and took out a pure gold token engraved with tiger patterns: "If Miss Shen is really as good as you say, then I will help her no matter what. Take the token and go and invite the prince back to me!"

Since this token has been used, it certainly cannot be a real “please”.

Nanny Quan took the token respectfully with both hands and went out.

On the second day, something happened that shocked the entire capital.

The Prince of Ning, a romantic man who became a monk to follow the woman he loved, actually wore a bright red groom's suit, rode a tall horse, and went to the Shen family to pick up the bride!

The crowd watching the excitement was full of discussions.

"Am I dazzled? Is the person on the horse really the Prince of Ning? Not his brother?"

"You are confused, Prince Ning has no brothers. He is the only son of Prince Ning. He has only one cousin of the same generation, the crown prince! How could the crown prince come to pick up the bride for him?"

"But didn't he have someone in his heart and become a monk for love?"

"Tsk, men change their minds the fastest. He was willing to die for someone else yesterday, but today he is marrying someone else. What's so surprising about that?"

"It doesn't necessarily mean he has changed his heart. Who in the capital doesn't know about Prince Ning's infatuation? It must be Prince Ning who forced him to do it!"
