Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

No, the last time Gu Qianhan gave Chu Yanluo gold, Chu Yanluo accepted it. Although she returned it later, she still accepted it after all.

Maybe Chu Yanluo didn't dislike gold and silver, but just thought that the gold and silver he gave her before was too little, so she refused to accept it?

Xiao Qingyuan was shocked by the thought that popped up in his mind, and his mood became a little worse.

When he was in a bad mood, he didn't want to talk about useless things with Shen Wantang. He said directly: "Shen Wantang, I'll tell you the truth. My mother forced me to come here tonight. She insisted that I consummate my marriage with you."

Shen Wantang knew with a guess from his toes that he didn't come here of his own accord, it must be the princess who asked him to come.

In his previous life, Xiao Qingyuan had always remained chaste for Chu Yanluo, and even died for her in the end. It is estimated that there will not be much change in this life.

She spoke softly, "I understand that mother is anxious, but you don't have to be embarrassed, there's no one else here anyway, if I say it's done, then it's done. We've been married for so long, it's time to give mother an explanation, you just need to sleep in the inner room for one night, then mother will be relieved."

Xiao Qingyuan didn't expect that she would actually say what he wanted to say, which made all the speeches he had prepared before become useless.

She was so considerate and sympathetic to his difficulties that he felt a little guilty. "I am sorry for you, but you know, I promised Yan Luo that there will be no other woman besides her in this life. So, I can only be a nominal couple with you. But don't worry, I will definitely give you the dignity you deserve, and you will always be the Crown Prince's Consort of the Ning Palace."

Shen Wantang had no interest in being his real wife, but she was quite happy to have a "fake marriage consummation" tonight, because this way she could explain it to the outside world and saved herself the trouble of making plans.

It was enough that Xiao Qingyuan knew how to give her respect, and she didn't expect too much from him.

The two of them were chatting away, and somehow the topic ended up being about astrology.

Because Prince Ning was obsessed with astrology, Xiao Qingyuan was influenced by it since he was very young and read a lot of books on astrology, so he was quite proficient in it.

So the two of them had a pretty good chat about this.

Xiao Qingyuan has always been curious about Shen Wantang's ability to predict the weather: "Are you better than my father? How did you do it? When Huayi told me that you could predict the weather, I didn't believe it. Later, it started to rain heavily, so I had to believe it."

Shen Wantang smiled and said, "Of course I can't compare to the prince. I just learned a little bit and happened to use it. It's just a coincidence. Prince, don't take it seriously."

Xiao Qingyuan shook his head, "How can it be such a coincidence? If you say it will rain tomorrow, it will rain. If you say it will be cold tomorrow, it will be cold. I have known you for such a long time, and I have come to understand you to some extent. You must have some real skills."

He didn't understand other aspects, but he did understand astrology. When he was chatting with Shen Wantang just now, he could feel that although she had only studied for a short time, she learned very quickly and deeply.

This heavy rainstorm has troubled Xiao Qingyuan for several days, so he couldn't help but ask Shen Wantang again: "When do you think the rain will stop? It can't keep raining like this, right?"

Shen Wantang knew exactly when the rainstorm would stop, but she couldn't say it.

Because she did not judge based on astrology, but rather based on past life experience.

She didn't remember the exact day the rain started, but she remembered that it rained for several days.

She accidentally judged that it would rain the next day when observing the stars, but she didn't know at that time that this would be the rain that later caused floods in many places. It was not until the rain lasted for three days that she was sure.

This rain lasted for ten days in my previous life. Today is the fourth day, and there are still six days to go before it ends.

"I am not a skilled martial artist, and I don't know when the rain will stop. I am sorry to disappoint you, Your Highness."

Xiao Qingyuan was indeed a little disappointed, but he comforted Shen Wantang: "It's okay, you have only studied for a few days, and you can already predict the weather. You have learned very well. Don't be discouraged, keep learning. You should be quite talented in this area. At least, more talented than me."

"Thank you for your encouragement, my Lord. I will continue to study."

After Shen Wantang finished speaking, he actually took out a book on astronomy and began to read it seriously.

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned. He stared at her blankly for a long time. When he was sure that she would not help him undress, he went to the inner room and went to sleep.

The next day, after he got up, he found a knife, cut his hand, and dripped blood onto the Yuanpa.

His fair and handsome face flushed slightly, and he whispered to Shen Wantang: "With this, we should be able to cope with it."

Shen Wantang also wanted to blush, but unfortunately, after trying for a long time, her cheeks showed no signs of getting hot. She could only pretend to be surprised and nodded: "Sure enough, the prince is thoughtful."

Next, the two had breakfast together for the first time after their marriage, and went to Shaoguang Court together for the first time to pay their respects to Princess Ning.

Princess Ning helped Shen Wantang up with a chastised look: "It's raining so hard, why are you here? Look, your little face is white from the cold. Nanny Quan, come and get the hand warmer! Oh, and bring a bowl of hot bird's nest so that the princess can warm herself up."

Xiao Qingyuan stood aside, looking at Shen Wantang's top treatment, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart: "Mother, why don't I have a hand warmer and bird's nest?"

Princess Ning glared at him, "When did you become so squeamish? In previous years, you would run outside without a care in the world on snowy days, and never used a hand warmer! I remember you disliked the bird's nest because it was tasteless and refused to eat a single bite!"

"I think it tastes good now, I want a bowl too!"

"Go away, there's no place for you."

Although Princess Ning said this, Shen Wantang knew that she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She might be angry with Xiao Qingyuan, but when it comes to loving her son, no one can compare to her.

So when Nanny Quan brought her the bird's nest, she gave it directly to Xiao Qingyuan.

Xiao Qingyuan gave it back to her: "Eat it. How can I really snatch a bowl of bird's nest from you? That would be such a loser."

Shen Wantang said softly, "I eat it almost every day, but the prince doesn't eat it often, so this bowl should be eaten by the prince!"

Princess Ning laughed as she listened, "Look, the young couple are being humble to each other. It's not easy. I'm lucky to see such a harmonious and heartwarming scene in my lifetime."

Nanny Quan smiled and replied, "Princess, this is the love between our Crown Prince and Crown Princess!"

Princess Ning was in a good mood: "Go, bring another bowl, don't let others think that our palace is so poor that we only have one bowl of bird's nest left!"

"Yes, I'll get it right away."
