Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Wutong Court.

Shen Wantang sat in front of the bronze mirror, letting two maids tie her hair up and then put gold hairpins and hairpins on her head.

The two girls tried almost all the two new boxes of jewelry that the princess gave her.

Du Juan's eyes sparkled: "The Crown Prince's Consort looks very elegant wearing this ruby ​​hairpin. Wear this tomorrow!"

Qin Xin said happily: "I think this tortoise-shell peony gold hairpin looks better, the Crown Prince's wife should wear this one!"

Shen Wantang held their hands and said, "Come one by one, you can all wear them. Why are you two acting like nouveau riche, wanting to put all the jewelry on my head? It's too heavy, take them off quickly."

Just as Du Juan and Qin Xin were about to take it, a voice suddenly rang out at the door: "Shen Wantang, I'm here."

Shen Wantang turned around and saw Xiao Qingyuan and Yan Cheng who was following him.

Normally it was Mo Ji who followed him, but now it was Yan Cheng who followed him.

Shen Wantang understood instantly that he came here today probably because King Ning asked him to come.

But she just pretended not to know. She stood up and asked in a gentle voice: "Why are you here at this time, my lord? Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Qingyuan's eyes fell on her head, and then he frowned: "I know you have a lot of treasures, but you don't have to wear them all on your head, right? Don't you think it's tacky? Don't you think it's heavy? Yan Luo never wears these tacky things, but she looks very fairy and extraordinary."

Qin Xin immediately stepped forward and wanted to help Shen Wantang explain.

Shen Wantang stopped her, still with a faint smile on her lips: "Your Highness is right, they are quite heavy. However, these are newly given to me by my mother. My mother loves me so much, I was so happy that I tried them on."

Now Xiao Qingyuan was speechless. His father and mother both liked Shen Wantang to death. This comparison made him seem unfilial and disliked by his parents.

However, he was not jealous of Shen Wantang for being loved and cared for by her parents, because ever since she married into the palace, she had indeed been very filial to his father and mother, and had even almost become a model in the capital.

If a daughter-in-law could do this, he would have no choice but to find fault even if he wanted to.

He took a breath, hesitated for a while, and finally said seriously: "I shouldn't have yelled at you indiscriminately today, causing you to lose face in front of all the servants."

"Yan Luo offended you first, so it's understandable that you teach her a lesson. After all, you are the mistress of the house and my legal wife. It was wrong for her to provoke you."

"I came here specially to apologize to you. I will pay attention to it next time. Please don't take it to heart this time."

When Shen Wantang saw Yan Cheng, he had already guessed his purpose.

She was not kidding. Xiao Qingyuan was willing to sacrifice his reputation to apologize. No matter whether he was forced by Prince Ning or not, he was the one who took a step back first. She naturally had to give him a way out. Otherwise, their relationship would become strained and it would take more effort to repair it in the future.

"Your Highness is so sincere that I feel a little embarrassed. Let's just let today's incident go. We are all family, so there is no need to talk about different things. It is inevitable that we will have some bumps and bruises in our daily lives, but after going through them, it can actually enhance trust and family affection."

Shen Wantang smiled at him and said, "Would you like to sit for a while, my lord? I just asked someone to bring two new sets of clothes to Aunt Chu. She is now the lord's concubine and can receive the share of a concubine in the palace. Would you like to help her look at the clothes?"

Xiao Qingyuan came to apologize, feeling quite uncomfortable at first, but when he saw Shen Wantang being so kind, giving him face and even preparing clothes for Shen Wantang, the discomfort in his heart quickly disappeared.

His expression became much better: "You are really generous. Yan Luo scolded you today, but you still remembered to prepare a portion for her."

Shen Wantang still smiled and didn't respond.

Is she generous?

Not necessarily.

"What clothes did you prepare for Yanluo? Bring them to me to see."

Shen Wantang looked at Qin Xin and said, "Bring the clothes here for the prince to look at."

Qin Xin quickly went and brought over two new sets of clothes.

But Xiao Qingyuan frowned after just one look: "Aren't your two clothes too bright? Yan Luo doesn't like this, she likes white clothes, pure white."

Shen Wantang's tone was still gentle: "Sir, according to our Dafeng custom, we only wear white during the mourning period, and we don't wear it on weekdays. Father and mother are still alive, so it is really inappropriate to wear white. What's more, since Aunt Chu has married the prince, she still has to follow the rules of the palace and wear some regular clothes from now on!"

Xiao Qingyuan shook his head: "You don't understand, Yanluo only likes white, she doesn't like other colors."

"Sir, as the housekeeper, I have to be responsible for the entire palace, and I have to respect my father and mother. Forgive me for not being able to provide her with white clothes. If she doesn't like these two, forget it! Qin Xin, put the clothes away!"

"Wait!"

Xiao Qingyuan walked up to Qin Xin and took the tray from her.

Qin Xin looked at him in surprise, then turned to look at Shen Wantang.

When the Crown Prince's wife asked her to prepare clothes, she had already said that the Crown Prince would definitely not accept the two sets of clothes for Chu Yanluo, but the Crown Prince actually accepted them. What should she do?

Could it be that he really gave Chu Yanluo two sets of such nice clothes for free? Wouldn't that be too cheap for her? She scolded the Crown Prince's Consort and still had new clothes to wear. I was so sick of it!

However, Shen Wantang seemed not to notice the maid's hesitant look. She smiled and said, "Why, has the prince changed his mind? Has he decided to persuade Aunt Chu to give up her white clothes and wear something brighter? If so, mother will definitely be happy."

"cough."

Xiao Qingyuan coughed lightly, responded vaguely, then took the two sets of clothes and left.

Shen Wantang heard his vague response, but the smile was still on his face: "Take care, my lord."

After Xiao Qingyuan left, Qin Xin said anxiously, "Prince's Consort, how can you still laugh? We can't ask Chu Yanluo to really wear new clothes. She likes white clothes and being a noble fairy so much. Let her keep wearing the old clothes! When the clothes are worn out, let's see what she will do!"

Shen Wantang patted the maid's arm soothingly: "It's okay, it's just two pieces of clothing, don't get excited. Although the prince took them away, Chu Yanluo may not wear them. You also said that she only wears white clothes, didn't you?"

Qin Xin half believed and half doubted: "I am worried that Chu Yanluo will see how beautiful the clothes are and stop pretending and wear them directly."

However, Shen Wantang said calmly: "If she wears it, her personality will collapse. White clothes are her most special symbol, and she will not get rid of this symbol easily." Otherwise, it will greatly weaken her cold and aloof image in Xiao Qingyuan's heart.

Moreover, in her previous life, Chu Yanluo wore white clothes until her death, and she never wore any other colors.
