The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Shen Qinglan shook his head and looked at Chu Yingyue with some pity and sympathy.

She misunderstood at first and thought that King Zhan really spent a huge sum of money to keep his beauty in his mansion.

Now it seems that she was wrong.

However, this Chu Yingyue was infatuated with the King of War. Not only did she help him deal with the disabled soldiers, she also disregarded her own safety and was obsessed with giving birth to a son for the King of War.

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but say, "You've worked hard these years. When the War King returns, I'll mention it to him and let you enter the War King's mansion, so you don't have to follow him around without a name or status."

Chu Yingyue heard this, looked up at Shen Qinglan in surprise and asked:

"You, you know?"

"Well, your infatuation is obvious, how can this princess not see it? It doesn't matter if I make this decision for you."

It's just taking a concubine for King Zhan.

We can't treat someone as infatuated and obedient as Chu Yingyue, who has been waiting outside for so many years, unfairly.

Taking him into the government office can be considered as giving people an explanation.

You can't really let such a foolish person be your mistress, right?

Life is already difficult for women in this world, and being a little more forgiving can make life easier for everyone, and there's nothing wrong with that.

When Chu Yingyue heard Shen Qinglan's words, she couldn't help but blushing.

Although she didn't know how Shen Qinglan knew that she was concerned about Li Wu, she was Princess Zhan. If she wanted to know something, wouldn't it be easy to find out with just a simple investigation?

Whenever she thought about Shen Qinglan making the decision for her, allowing her to marry Li Wu openly and officially enter the palace, she couldn't help but feel excited.

After all, Li Wu has followed Huo Zhanting since he was a child, and the Prince Zhan's Mansion is equivalent to Li Wu's home.

"Thank you, Princess."

Chu Yingyue sincerely bowed deeply to Shen Qinglan, her face full of gratitude.

Obviously, at this moment, neither of them knew what the other was really thinking...

Shen Qinglan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Ren Donglai who had been standing aside, and ordered:

"From now on, the money for Wen Dingxuan will be paid from Prince Zhan's Mansion. You should send it on time every month, so that Miss Chu doesn't have to come here."

"Yes."

Ren Donglai did not see the account book, but just listened to what Shen Qinglan said. Although he was confused, he still responded respectfully.

Fortunately, the Zhan Palace is now completely different from when Shen Qinglan first married in.

The Zhan Palace had already been in deficit earlier and was unable to make ends meet.

Usually, it is mostly supplemented by the old princess’s dowry.

But now, all the shops in Prince Zhan's mansion have made profits. Not to mention Zhenxiulou, even Linglong Pavilion is enough to fill this hole easily.

After hearing Shen Qinglan's promise, Chu Yingyue also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately everything went well.

Now that she has returned to Wendixuan, she can report to those injured soldiers.

Before leaving, Chu Yingyue couldn't help but look at Shen Qinglan again. She felt that this princess was really good in every way.

But when she thought about Shen Qinglan's secret meeting with Doctor Gu in Yuhetang, Chu Yingyue couldn't help but feel a little conflicted and guilty.

If she had known that the princess was such a good-tempered person, even if the princess really had a secret meeting with someone, she should not have told King Zhan.

Therefore, Chu Yingyue couldn't help but said carefully: "Princess, there is something I want to tell you. I don't know if I should tell you."

Shen Qinglan raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "Just speak frankly."

Chu Yingyue heard this and took a deep breath, as if she had used up all her courage before she spoke:

"I saw that day that the princess and Doctor Gu seemed to be very familiar with each other, but the prince of Zhan will be back soon, so you should be careful and don't meet with Doctor Gu again, otherwise it may bring disaster."

Shen Qinglan was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Yingyue with some surprise. She didn't quite understand. She was familiar with Gu Changqing, so what was her relationship with Huo Zhanting?

Seeing Shen Qinglan's confused face, Chu Yingyue stamped her feet anxiously and said:

"Although this Imperial Doctor Gu is a man of elegant appearance, he is a scholar after all and cannot be compared to a military commander. Princess, you are still young and may not understand how important these are..."

"In short, you must consider it carefully. Even if you want to choose, wait until the War King comes back and compare them before you make your decision."

After saying this, Chu Yingyue quickly bowed again, turned around with a red face, and left quickly.

Looking at Chu Yingyue's back, Shen Qinglan's cold face seemed to crack.

She looked at Shuwen and Shuyu who were also standing there in a daze, and spoke after a long while:

"What was she saying just now?"

Shu Wen's face was tense, and he almost dropped the sword in his hand. He hesitated for a long time before tilting his head and saying:

"It seems like I misunderstood that you wanted to... have an affair? I also wanted to persuade you to choose the King of War. Well, military generals are not like civil officials. They have plenty of strength, right?"

When Shuyu heard this, her face turned red, and she stomped her feet and couldn't help cursing:

"Miss! Why did you give her money? She is such a fool! Isn't she too shameless?"

Shen Qinglan rubbed his forehead with a headache. For the first time, he felt that when the woman became bold, she really dared to say anything.

After a light cough, Shen Qinglan patted Shu Yu, who was still furious, and said soothingly:

"Okay, don't be angry. Since we've agreed to let her enter the palace, we'll see each other every day in the future. There's no need to be embarrassed. Besides... she's kind-hearted."

It's just that this kindness is a bit overused...

The Spring Banquet is a very important day for the nobles.

The emperor would choose to bathe and burn incense the day before the Spring Banquet, and on the day of the Spring Banquet he would offer sacrifices to his ancestors and thank heaven, in order to pray for good weather and good harvests in the coming year.

At that time, officials above the fifth rank and their families will be invited to the palace to pray together.

In previous years, the Marquis of Jing'an had no official duties and was naturally not qualified to enter the palace.

This year, because of the job that Marquis Jing'an had done, he happened to be on the banquet list of this fifth-rank official.

Although Marquis Jing'an has not returned yet, the Marquis Jing'an's mansion has already received grace.

And it was her first time to attend a banquet in the palace. Lady Zhao Chunlan, the wife of Marquis Jing'an, was extremely nervous. She gave Shen Qinglan a message one day in advance, asking her to return to the Marquis' residence so that they could travel together and have someone to look after her.

When Shuyu heard this, he couldn't help but start cursing and said:

"The Marquis's wife has a good plan. When the eldest daughter was in the mansion before, I didn't see her pay much attention to her. Now she acts like a loving mother?"

"Looking after each other? How can she really look after each other? She clearly wants to take advantage of our 'Princess'? She is making a fool of herself! Miss, I won't go! I'll piss her off to death!"

Shen Qinglan was leaning on the chaise longue, holding a book in one hand and picking up a large cherry on a sky-blue porcelain plate beside her with the other hand, and stuffing it into the mouth of Shuyu, who was squatting beside her and complaining indignantly.

Shu Yu held a big cherry in her mouth, stared at Shen Qinglan with wide eyes, and made "mmm" sounds of resistance.

Shen Qinglan then put the book down, looked at Shu Yu with a smile and said:

"Girl, you have such a poisonous mouth, aren't you afraid of being at a disadvantage?"

Shu Yu was startled, and quickly bit the cherry into pieces. The sweet and bright red juice quickly spread in her mouth, but she didn't bother to taste it. She swallowed it down quickly and said:

"I am not afraid of being at a disadvantage, I just don't want to see you suffer a disadvantage!"

Listening to Shuyu's words, Shen Qinglan shook his head with a smile in his eyes and said seriously:

"You are wrong. I won't eat this loss, and neither can you."

After a pause, Shen Qinglan picked up the book in question and started reading it again, saying lazily as he read:

"She is my stepmother after all, there is no reason to refuse her. However, since she wants me to pick her up, I have to see if she dares to get in my car..."
