Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Prince Ning's Mansion.

In the Xinghe Courtyard, candlelight flickered.

In front of the desk, Xiao Qingyuan held Huayi's hand and taught her how to write.

Huayi half leaned in his arms, her hand held by his big hand, and she felt extremely sweet.

Although she was illiterate, Xiao Qingyuan did not despise her. Instead, he patiently taught her to recognize and write words one by one.

She can write her own name now.

During the day, she said she wanted to go out and play in the snow, so Xiao Qingyuan really played with her.

He doted on her so much that she had no intention of writing. What good was it to be able to read and write? If you couldn't capture a man's heart, everything was in vain.

And now, she was sure that she had captured Xiao Qingyuan's heart.

After writing another word, Huayi didn't want to continue writing anymore. It was such a waste of good time to write.

She turned around, ignoring the ink machine grinding ink beside her, and hugged Xiao Qingyuan's waist directly, saying coquettishly: "My Lord, are you going to rest in the mansion tomorrow, or go to the Dali Temple to be on duty? If you are going to be on duty, you might as well rest early!"

Ever since Xiao Qingyuan asked for Huayi when he was drunk, he has been spending every day with her these past few days. The two of them are so inseparable that they don't want to leave each other.

So after investigating the Xin family's case for a few days without any progress, he simply decided not to go to the Dali Temple and went straight home to play with his maid.

In the past, he didn't understand why Yuan Zheng always liked to keep maids around him. He would replace one when he got tired of it, changing maids more frequently than changing clothes. Moreover, he often ignored other people present and had sex with his maids in broad daylight and every night.

Now, he finally understood Yuan Zheng's happiness.

The maidservant is not only fair-skinned, beautiful, gentle and considerate, but has also been taught in advance by the nanny in the mansion. She knows everything, is not shy, does not resist, and even tries to please and cater to him, providing him with unimaginable happiness.

For example, now, Huayi hugged his waist gently, tilted her head and looked at him with admiration, which made him feel a little dizzy.

He touched Huayi's face and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to rest in the mansion, or do you want me to go to the Dali Temple to serve?"

Huayi said without thinking: "Of course I hope you can rest in the mansion."

"Why?"

"It's so tiring to be on duty at the Dali Temple. You have to get up before dawn and come back after dark. You work hard for others all day long. It's so cold, what if the prince gets frozen? Why don't you just stay in the mansion and read a book or write comfortably?"

"Isn't it because you want me to stay with you in the mansion?"

Huayi shyly said, "Of course I do."

Xiao Qingyuan picked her up and walked towards the bed: "Then I'll listen to you. I won't go to the Dali Temple tomorrow. I'll stay in the mansion and accompany you!"

After he finished speaking, he threw Hua Yi onto the bed, went up on it himself, and lowered the curtain.

Mo Ji watched the two people throwing out clothes one after another, listened to the soft and gentle calls coming from inside, and silently retreated.

After closing the door, he stood outside and told two servants, "Go get some water."

"Yes."

Snowflakes started floating in the sky at some point. Mo Ji looked at the falling snow and ice and sighed softly.

Huayi is indeed a maid. She has no knowledge and no long-term vision. She only looks at her own immediate interests and does not know how to make long-term considerations for the prince.

How could a man like the prince just pursue temporary pleasure in the boudoir? His world should be outside, not confined to the backyard.

As Mo Ji was thinking, he saw Qin Xin's figure flash outside the yard gate.

He walked into the snow, out of the yard, and closed the door gently.

"Qin Xin, why are you here so late? What happened?"

"Nothing happened. I just wanted to come and tell you that the Crown Prince's Consort said that there is a clue in the Xin family's case. It was found by the Second Master Gu. Also, I heard that he was personally invited to the Ministry of Justice by Lord Lu. He may be able to solve the case soon."

Mo Ji was stunned: "Second Master Gu? He found the clue so quickly?"

"Yes, so he is a genius! But the prince must be upset now. The case that he couldn't solve was solved by the second young master Gu. When you serve the prince, be careful about your words and actions, and don't offend him at this time."

"okay, I get it."

"I heard that General Xin has been following Lord Lu from the Ministry of Justice today. Will the Crown Prince go to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow? Or will he go to the Dali Temple as usual?"

Mo Ji shook his head: "No, the prince said that he will stay at the mansion with Huayi tomorrow. He will neither go to the Ministry of Justice nor the Dali Temple."

"what?"

Qin Xin opened her mouth wide: "The prince has only been on duty at the Dali Temple for a few days? How come he has been resting at home for a long time? Huayi is really capable. She has deceived the prince into not solving any cases. He is only focused on having fun with her in the palace. I really didn't realize that she is a vixen before. She pretends so well!"

"Keep your voice down so no one can hear you. Be careful next time and don't say the painting is not good. The prince will be unhappy."

Qin Xin snorted coldly: "I am the Crown Prince's wife, how can I be afraid of a maid like her! Even if she becomes the Crown Prince's concubine, she dare not do anything to me!"

"I know you are not afraid of her, but the prince is in high spirits right now and dotes on her. Why do you have to offend Huayi at this time and make enemies for yourself?"

"Okay, I get it, I'll pay attention."

Qin Xin chatted with him for a while and found out that the reason why Xiao Qingyuan was playing in the snow with the maids at home today was because of Huayi's suggestion. She curled her lips and left.

After returning to Wutong Garden, Qin Xin told Mo Ji all the news she had heard from him. She had revealed to him that Gu Qianhan had found clues to the Xin family case, and she also told Shen Wantang everything.

Shen Wantang didn't take what she said to heart. She drank ginseng tea, looked at the account book, and nodded absentmindedly while listening to Qin Xin talking like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

She only brought Dujuan out today and not Qinxin, but she was very well-informed and soon found out that Gu Qianhan was going to solve the case.

However, the information Qin Xin got was not so accurate. To be precise, she was the one who found the clue.

But this inaccurate news was exactly what Shen Wantang wanted, and she specifically asked Du Juan to send people to spread some news on the street.

Qin Xin saw that her master was not paying attention to Hua Yi's affairs, and she could not help but get anxious: "Crown Princess, are you really going to let Hua Yi go on like this? Don't let her lead the Crown Prince astray. The Crown Prince had already started to work in the Dali Temple and started to do serious work, but now he has been brought back to his original state in an instant! If this continues, the Crown Prince's fighting spirit and ambition will be worn away by Hua Yi!"

Shen Wantang said without even looking up: "Perhaps the prince was just in a spur of the moment mood, and now his interest in solving the case has waned, so he is unwilling to go to the Dali Temple."
