Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang naturally did not know any Pavilion Master in this life, but unfortunately, in her previous life, five years after her marriage, she replaced one of the four Pavilion Masters and became the new East Pavilion Master.

Potian Pavilion recognizes people as well as orders. The secret orders change with the years and months, and are hidden in poems. Only people in Potian Pavilion know the specific rules of change.

As long as you have the Pavilion Master's exclusive secret order, you can use some of the Pavilion Master's power.

But with Shen Wantang's current identity, she had not met any Pavilion Master yet, so Shen Wantang did not answer Manager Wang's questions - if she didn't answer, he could only rely on guessing, and by guessing he might have to make up his own identity for her.

"Manager Wang, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to help me check someone's identity."

"Please tell me, Princess, who are you looking for?"

"It's an orphan girl named Mu Ge. I'll have someone take you to see her later."

Shopkeeper Wang nodded. It seemed that this princess was indeed a close confidant of a certain Pavilion Master, otherwise she would not be so clear about the rules of the Pavilion.

If Potian Pavilion wants to help check the identity, they need to see the person in person, unless the person is dead. In that case, as long as the person is alive, they need to see the person in person. Otherwise, if it is someone else impersonating them, no matter how much they check, it will be in vain.

Just like what the storybooks say, you can find out everything about a person just by looking at a simple portrait. That is wishful thinking. The portraits are not accurate enough to begin with. If the person changes his or her clothes and makeup a little bit, the real person and the portrait will no longer match at all. How can you find out?

"Don't worry, Princess. When Potian Pavilion takes action, we will investigate the person thoroughly. However, I'm sure you understand the rules."

Shen Wantang turned around: "Du Juan."

Dujuan walked up to Manager Wang, holding a box full of gold ingots.

Shopkeeper Wang just glanced at it and accepted it: "We will know the result in three days at most."

Shen Wantang was quite satisfied with the efficiency. She waved her hand and asked Qin Xin to take Manager Wang out to meet Mu Ge.

After Shopkeeper Wang left, Du Juan showed a pained expression on her face: "Princess, this is just to investigate one person, it's too expensive! One hundred taels of gold, it's enough for us to spend for a long time."

Shen Wantang smiled helplessly: "It's okay, I can earn more gold if I lose it, but I can't keep Mu Ge. Otherwise, if she causes trouble again, the princess's body will not be able to bear it. I gave you this one hundred taels of gold to save the princess' life."

Originally, if she was the real Pavilion Master, she wouldn't need to spend any money by showing the Pavilion Master's jade token.

But she is not, so she can only resort to opportunism and borrow the secret order of the Pavilion Master to let Manager Wang do things for her, and the price is to spend some money.

Du Juan still felt sorry for the gold: "You are the Crown Prince's Consort, you have the final say in the mansion. If you want to drive Mu Ge away, you can just ask her to leave. Why spend this money in vain?"

"Silly girl, I do have the final say on most matters in the mansion, but there is one exception. I cannot handle it arbitrarily, otherwise, the conflict will intensify."

"You mean... the prince?"

"Yes. I don't care which woman he wants to favor. If I have a bad relationship with him because of a woman, it will be more trouble than it is worth. The prince is now barely respecting me, so I naturally have to give him some face, right? If I have a bad relationship with him because of Mu Ge, I will have more bad relationships in the future!"

Shen Wantang habitually turned the jade bracelet on her wrist: "Remember, things that can be solved with money are not problems. If you can solve them with money, don't spend money on other things. Money is the most valuable and the least valuable. Do you understand?"

Du Juan nodded in confusion: "I don't understand."

Shen Wantang was amused by her. It is said that a master leads a person to the door but the practice is up to the individual. It is true. When she teaches Qin Xin, Qin Xin learns very quickly and can apply what she has learned.

She taught Dujuan, but Dujuan found it difficult to understand the mystery.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s okay if Dujuan doesn’t understand. After all, she will always protect her in this life, and she can just be a carefree little maid.

A quarter of an hour later.

Qin Xin came back and reported: "Princess, Shopkeeper Wang has already met Mu Ge, and he left with the waiter. Everyone in the mansion smelled the strong and strange aroma of wine, and they all thought you wanted to buy wine, and didn't suspect anything else. Mu Ge also tasted the wine, and she didn't suspect anything either."

Shen Wantang nodded: "Very good, next, let Huayi keep an eye on her, don't let her get close to Shaoguangyuan, don't let her get close to the princess. If Huayi can't stop her, I will find someone else to stop her. If she can stop her, then I will guarantee that she will become the prince's concubine."

Qin Xin was shocked: "Prince's Consort, there is no need to pay such a high price. You spent gold and promised a concubine position, just for a Mu Ge?"

Shen Wantang smiled, and even Qin Xin thought she did it for Mu Ge?

"How could that be? I want to make my mother's life more comfortable. I want to use the most impeccable way to let Mu Ge leave, so that the prince will not be alienated from my mother, and the family will be peaceful."

What's more, Shen Wantang didn't feel how high the price was at all. When she died in her previous life, she had not spent all the one million taels of silver and one hundred thousand taels of gold she had earned. She regretted it so much that she still regrets it today.

So in this life, she spent money out of revenge. Anyway, she was very sure that she could make a lot of money, so spending one hundred taels of gold was nothing.

Besides, Gu Qianhan had just sent her 1,000 taels of gold. She had plenty of gold, so she could just spend it! Why keep it? Could she wait until she died and leave it for others to spend? It was enough to do such a stupid thing once, but she couldn't do it a second time!

She might be hesitant to spend other people's gold, but she spent Gu Qianhan's gold with great confidence. After all, he owed her a favor in his previous life.

As for the position of concubine, it is even less important. Why not sacrifice Xiao Qingyuan for the happiness of the whole family?

Anyway, he didn't reject Huayi, so if he asked Huayi to be his concubine, he would probably not refuse too much.

Shen Wantang thought so, with a faint smile on her face: "Everything is going well. Let's have an extra meal for everyone tonight. Didn't Manager Wang bring some good wine? The maids and servants are allowed to have a drink tonight."

Qin Xin replied yes and turned around to convey Shen Wantang's words.

Cheers soon rang out outside, and people even knelt on the ground, praising Shen Wantang as the Crown Prince's Consort.

As for Mu Ge, although she felt it was a bit strange that Shen Wantang suddenly asked everyone to have extra food and drinks, she didn't take it too seriously. She was thinking about another thing.

She also got some wine today. This wine was mellow and intoxicating. After drinking a little, she felt dizzy, which was quite powerful.

She felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

So, holding the wine glass, she staggered to Xiao Qingyuan's yard.
