Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Qin Xin didn't finish her words, but Shen Wantang understood what she meant.

It was indeed time to consummate the marriage, otherwise people outside would always make trouble about it, and her mother-in-law would also complain - her mother-in-law actually hoped that she could consummate the marriage with Xiao Qingyuan, and it would be best if she could get pregnant in one go.

But Shen Wantang didn't want to do this, and she knew that although Xiao Qingyuan had already accepted her as the Crown Prince's Consort, he had no intention of consummating the marriage with her.

She had to find an opportunity to cover up the matter and shut everyone up, so that she could be the mistress of the house in peace.

She said calmly, "No need to invite the prince, he won't come. He should be busy with other things today."

Qin Xin was confused, but she didn't ask any more questions and quietly retreated.

After a while, she came back in a hurry: "Crown Princess, that Chu Yanluo actually ran back to our palace again! She is so shameless, the Crown Prince didn't even bring her back, but she came back on her own!"

Shen Wantang was not surprised. It would be abnormal if Chu Yanluo did not come back. After all, where could she find another big enemy like Xiao Qingyuan?

"Princess, when you said that the prince had other things to do at night, could it be Chu Yanluo you were talking about?"

Shen Wantang nodded: "It's her."

Qin Xin admired her and said, "You are so good at predicting things! The prince is arguing with Chu Yanluo now. It seems that it is because she accepted 1,000 taels of gold from Mr. Gu. The prince thinks that she shouldn't accept other men's things casually, but Chu Yanluo insisted that she earned it with her own ability. She also felt that the prince had ruined her performance today and made her lose face."

Shen Wantang finally showed a smile on his face: "Are you arguing?"

"It's very noisy!"

"Well, good, good noise."

Shen Wantang was in a good mood. She really hoped that the infatuated man and woman could torture each other, not cause trouble in front of her, and not go out to harm others. For example, a few days ago, the two of them harmed Gu Qianhan, and she ended up suffering from the disaster. As a result, she and her mother-in-law were called to the palace to be scolded.

Gu Qianhan is truly a talented person. He was hurt so badly by Chu Yanluo a few days ago, but today he actually spent a huge amount of money on Chu Yanluo. It is really surprising.

However, his gift of one thousand taels of gold was a good one, a wonderful one! He directly put Chu Yanluo on a whole new level. Once Chu Yanluo accepted the money, the price she would have to pay might be far more than one thousand taels of gold.

I just don’t know if Gu Qianhan did it on purpose. He doesn’t look like he is truly deeply in love with Chu Yanluo.

When Qin Xin saw that her master liked to listen to the quarrel between the Prince and Chu Yanluo, she immediately went out after reporting it.

She went straight to Mo Ji, asking him for news while listening to the fierce quarrel in Xinghe Courtyard with him.

Qin Xin: "Mo Ji, now the prince can recognize Yan Luo's true face, right?"

Mo Ji: “Not necessarily.”

Qin Xin: "What? That may not be the case?"

Mo Ji: "You don't understand. The prince's tolerance and love for Miss Chu are beyond imagination. Miss Chu can easily make the prince trust her. She has a way of controlling the prince."

Qin Xin almost rolled her eyes. "The prince is really... I don't know when he will wake up. Chu Yanluo pretends to be so noble every day, saying that she hates gold and silver, but when Mr. Gu gave her a thousand taels of gold, she licked him eagerly and was so attentive that she even spent time alone with Mr. Gu in the private room. How shameless! I don't know who scolded Mr. Gu as a scumbag before, and bullied a weak woman like her."

Mo Ji shook his head and said nothing more. He listened carefully to the movements inside, wanting to see what words Chu Yanluo would use to confuse the prince this time.

In Xinghe Courtyard, Xiao Qingyuan was not as tolerant of Chu Yanluo as his servant had imagined.

People are afraid of comparison.

When he was alone with Chu Yanluo, he felt that there was no better woman than Chu Yanluo in the world.

But now he has the Crown Prince's Consort, who is so generous. Whether outside or at home, she always gives him enough face and helps him solve one problem after another.

But what about Chu Yanluo? Whether at home or outside, she never gave him face, and always created one problem after another for him!

Xiao Qingyuan's face was a little cold: "You should return the one thousand taels of gold to Gu Qianhan! My woman, Xiao Qingyuan, does not need other men to spend money to support her! Also, those snacks you invented must not be sold so expensively! Reduce them all to three taels of silver each, otherwise people will think that I, Xiao Qingyuan, cannot afford to support a woman and have to rely on her to cheat customers outside to support me!"

Chu Yanluo said proudly, "I don't need a man to support me. I made Second Master Gu spend a fortune based on my strength. He bought my snacks, not me. Why should I return the gold? If I return it, wouldn't it be telling others that my snacks are not good? I won't do something that will slap myself in the face. Prince, don't say anything more!"

"As for the price of my dim sum, you don't have to worry about it, Your Highness. I clearly marked the price and didn't overcharge anyone. If you can't afford it, you don't have to eat it. I spent a lot of effort to develop and invent the dim sum. They are very advanced and special, so they are naturally more expensive."

"Those who can't even come up with more than a hundred taels of silver are not worthy of eating my snacks. I only sell them to people who know the value of the snacks like Mr. Gu Er."

Coincidentally, Xiao Qingyuan was the one who couldn't even take out a hundred taels of silver at the moment.

His self-esteem was deeply hurt: "Chu Yanluo! Your snacks are not worth that much money! The chefs in the palace can make them. Your snacks are not an invention at all! They are not advanced at all. Only ignorant people think those snacks are special!"

"The chefs in the palace can make it? Are you kidding me? There's no way they can make it! This is something I... I got inspiration from a dream and invented it with great difficulty!"

Chu Yanluo didn’t believe that the chefs in the palace would make snacks that would become popular in the capital a few years later, because she had never seen such beautiful snacks in the palace in her two lifetimes combined.

She felt that Xiao Qingyuan was deliberately suppressing her and belittling her. She was very unhappy: "Xiao Qingyuan, you keep saying how much you love me, but you don't even approve of the snacks I invented. You openly said in Qingyunlou that my snacks were too expensive. You made me lose face. You went too far. Don't you feel sorry for me? Shouldn't you apologize to me?"

"How have I wronged you today? Your snacks are just too expensive, and you won't let me say anything?"

Xiao Qingyuan believed that he had done nothing wrong to Chu Yanluo today. It was true that he had done nothing wrong to Shen Wantang, but Shen Wantang didn't even yell at him to apologize, but Chu Yanluo asked him to apologize instead?

Chu Yanluo's voice became sharp: "You are sorry for me! Gu Qianhan has spent a lot of money on me, and you? You are unwilling to do anything for me!"
