Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

"No lies?"

"Every word is true. I dare not lie!"

Shen Wantang nodded and looked at Xiao Qingxi: "Did Princess hear that? What I gave you is the same as what you used before."

Xiao Qingxi snorted coldly: "Shen Wantang, who are you acting for? It's obviously you who set up this trap, and you're acting here with two maids. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Then Princess, will you come with me to mother and ask her for justice? If I set up a trap to deceive you, then I will apologize to you immediately without saying anything. But if you deliberately threw away the things I prepared for you and embarrassed me, then you have to apologize to me too."

There was no way Xiao Qingxi was willing to go with her to her mother's house. She was in the wrong in the first place and would be scolded if she went. When her mother found out that Shen Wantang was so thoughtful and prepared exactly the same new things for her, her mother would praise Shen Wantang again. In any case, Shen Wantang would get the advantage.

She glared at Shen Wantang angrily: "You said you had someone prepare something exactly the same for me. When did you prepare it? Other things are fine, but this quilt is new. Could it be that as soon as I came back, you asked someone to find the exact same material and pattern, and then immediately found someone to make it?"

"At least weave something decent. I don't believe you have the ability to make someone make the same quilt in half a day."

Shen Wantang said calmly: "These were naturally prepared before the princess returned home, not yesterday."

"Oh, can you tell the future? Do you know exactly when I will come back? Are you a half-immortal?"

Shen Wantang thought, that’s about right, she was indeed good at predicting and knew when Xiao Qingxi would come back.

After all, she has lived a lifetime.

General Huo returned triumphantly, but he specially picked an auspicious day. After being reborn, she naturally remembered this day.

Moreover, in Shen Mingxuan's previous life, after Xiao Qingxi came back, life became extremely difficult. She often went back to the Shen family to cry and complain that her sister-in-law was too willful and difficult to get along with. At that time, she even envied Shen Wantang's sister-in-law because she was young and came from a humble background, so she could be controlled obediently and would never dare to challenge her sister-in-law.

Therefore, Shen Wantang was prepared for Xiao Qingxi's return and had already dealt with Xiao Qingxi's personality.

She was afraid that Xiao Qingxi would cause trouble, so she specially asked someone to prepare exactly the same things for Xiao Qingxi, but she didn't expect that Xiao Qingxi would still throw everything out.

Shen Wantang sighed slightly, "A few days ago, General Huo led the army to a triumphant return. The whole capital had heard about it. Naturally, I also knew that the princess would not come back alone. She would naturally come back with the army. It is not normal for me to prepare these for the princess in advance. Does this require some calculation?"

Xiao Qingxi didn't care what she said, she was just making a scene to embarrass Shen Wantang: "Why are you pretending to be a good person? You obviously prepared some junk for me on purpose! You just want to force me to leave in secret!"

"But I won't fall for your tricks. You must get the best bedding and curtains sent to me right now. If anything is not to my liking, you must get out of the palace and you are not allowed to call yourself the Crown Prince's Consort of Ning Palace anymore!"

Shen Wantang suddenly laughed: "The princess is waiting for me here. You want to use the excuse that the bedding I prepared for you is not to your liking to drive me away? You don't really want to use such a low-level and childish method to deal with me? After all, you are the princess. Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed if you use such a method?"

Xiao Qingxi pointed at her angrily: "How am I low-level and childish? You are not even as old as me, you are the low-level and childish one!"

When she said this, everyone present widened their eyes in shock.

Even her personal nanny, Nanny Kang, couldn't help but pull on Xiao Qingxi's sleeve, signaling her to say less, because - anyone with eyes could see who was more childish between the two of them.

Only Shen Wantang remained calm. She neither argued with Xiao Qingxi nor mocked her. She looked at Madam Kang as if nothing had happened and said, "Madam, perhaps the princess has lived in the northwest for two years and her preferences have changed. I prepared it according to the princess's preferences two years ago, so it may not be appropriate."

"I'd also like to trouble Madam Chai to go to the clothing store to get some new bedding and clothes for the princess."

"If you need anything else, just tell Madam Chai. The princess has finally returned, and we must not let her suffer any injustice in this matter."

Nanny Kang was amazed at her magnanimity and openness. It was obvious that the princess was deliberately looking for trouble, but Shen Wantang said that what she did was not appropriate, which was really giving the princess enough room and face.

She quickly stepped forward and bowed: "I am sorry for the trouble. I will go get a new one with Madam Chai later. The princess just came back, so it is normal for her to be a little unhappy for a while. I hope the princess will understand."

"Yeah, understanding."

Shen Wantang responded casually, and then looked at Xiao Qingxi: "Princess, if you throw it away again this time, there will be no more. If you don't want to be without a quilt in such a cold weather, just make do with it! Next time you want to drive me away, it's better to use some advanced means."

Xiao Qingxi was so angry when she saw her nonchalant look, but even though she was very willful and stubborn, she couldn't show it in front of Shen Wantang. Even if she did, she would always feel powerless like punching cotton.

After she made a fuss, Shen Wantang didn't react at all, and she herself was so depressed that she almost vomited blood!

After Shen Wantang left, Xiao Qingxi complained to Madam Kang: "Madam, why are you so polite to Shen Wantang? She asked you to get the bedding, and you went to get it? Why did you listen to her so much? Are you her madam or mine?"

Nanny Kang was the one who brought Xiao Qingxi up from childhood, and later even followed her to the northwest. The relationship between her and Xiao Qingxi had long gone beyond just that of master and servant.

So she was not afraid of Xiao Qingxi's blame on her. She looked at Xiao Qingxi with love in her eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about, Princess? It is precisely because I am your nanny that I have to go get the quilt. Otherwise, will you be left to suffer the cold tonight?"

"I don't care. Anyway, you can only listen to me from now on, not Shen Wantang! I don't like her, not at all! You are not allowed to like her either!"

Aunt Kang smiled. She actually liked Shen Wantang a little. "My princess, the princess has a good eye. The princess she chose for the prince is indeed of a poor background, but that's because the prince became a monk for Aunt Chu. But other than her background, there's nothing wrong with the princess."
