Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingxi gritted his teeth and finally said, "I misunderstood you and Huo Yunzhou. You two are innocent."

Princess Ning clapped her hands again: "Anything else?"

Xiao Qingxi almost bit her teeth to pieces. She had never felt so aggrieved in her life!

However, the bet her mother made last night just hit the spot that made her feel the most itchy. If she didn't apologize to Shen Wantang, her mother would not ask Shen Wantang for help on her behalf.

The premise of the bet was that she had to apologize to Shen Wantang twice.

However, this time, Xiao Qingxi cared more about the bet than anything else. She really wanted to see what method Shen Wantang could use to solve the problem of Huo Yunzhou taking a concubine. After all, Shen Wantang couldn't stop Xiao Qingyuan from taking a concubine, and even stuffed a maid into his room.

Xiao Qingxi adjusted his breathing and finally apologized for the second time: "Um... Is the wound on your face better? I'm sorry, I broke a vase last night and accidentally hit you. It wasn't my intention. You... you know that, right?"

Shen Wantang still looked calm and composed: "Since the princess has apologized, the matter is over. The princess should be more careful in the future. It's okay if the vase is broken, but it's not worth it to hurt others and yourself. What do you think?"

Xiao Qingxi was secretly taught a lesson by her, and was a little unhappy. She looked a little gloomy: "I think it would be good if you were a mute!"

When Princess Ning saw that her daughter started to act like a fool after just a few nice words, she quickly pulled her aside.

Then, she pulled Shen Wantang to sit down.

She personally served Shen Wantang a bowl of bird's nest soup and handed it to her: "It's still hot, eat a bowl to warm your body."

Xiao Qingxi immediately said: "Mother, isn't that what you made for me? I haven't had enough yet!"

Princess Ning ignored her. She looked at the red mark on Shen Wantang's face and said apologetically, "Tang'er, you've been wronged. Xi'er should never have hurt your face. Although it was her fault, it's the fault of the father if the son doesn't teach well. So I also have a responsibility and I apologize to you."

Shen Wantang looked much more sincere towards her mother-in-law. She smiled and said, "Mother, I'm fine. It's just a small scratch. It will be gone tomorrow. You don't have to worry about it. Besides, the princess has already apologized. This matter is over."

Princess Ning's eyes turned red, and she said with relief: "Fortunately you are magnanimous and don't bother with Xi'er. My good child, it is a blessing for us that you can marry into the palace!"

She praised Shen Wantang, and Shen Wantang also praised her: "Mother said it the other way around. It is my blessing to marry into Prince Ning's mansion."

Princess Ning said seriously, "No, if someone else became the mistress of the Ning Palace, it wouldn't be as prosperous as it is now. But no matter who you marry, you will be able to live a prosperous life."

Shen Wantang felt a little guilty about her mother-in-law's sincerity.

Some people may know your skills and abilities but will never admit them. But Princess Ning is different. She knows your abilities and will acknowledge them generously. She will never erase the contributions of her daughter-in-law.

"Madame Quan, bring me all the things I prepared for the Crown Prince's Consort."

Nanny Quan responded and waved to the maid.

The little maids came in one after another, some holding the most fashionable clothing materials, some holding luxurious sets of head ornaments and jewelry, and some holding priceless treasures, calligraphy and paintings.

Because there were so many things that they had piled up on the table like a mountain, Xiao Qingxi was dumbfounded: "Mother, have you emptied the storehouse of our palace? How come there is also the spiritual ancient jade that you brought as a dowry? No, I asked you for this before, but you didn't give it to me!"

She stepped forward to snatch the ancient jade back, but was stopped by Nanny Quan: "Princess, this ancient jade was given to the Crown Prince's Consort by the Princess."

Xiao Qingxi shouted: "No! I don't agree!"

Princess Ning said calmly, "It's useless even if you disagree. This is my dowry. I will give it to whoever I want."

Xiao Qingxi couldn't believe it, she had liked this piece of jade before because it was very different from other jades, it seemed as if there were clouds and smoke floating inside it, and when put into water, there would be a magical shadow.

Unfortunately, Princess Ning was afraid that she would drop the jade due to impatience, so she never gave it to her.

She didn't expect that the thing she had been thinking about for so long would be given to Shen Wantang by her mother!

Princess Ning didn't care about her daughter's mood. She picked up the ancient jade and handed it to Shen Wantang: "This ancient jade was passed down from my mother's family. I heard that its origin can be traced back to a thousand years ago. It is a real treasure. Compared with it, the other things I gave you are actually nothing."

When Shen Wantang heard that this was a family heirloom, he immediately shook his head: "It's so precious, I can't have it."

And looking at Xiao Qingxi's expression, you can tell that she really likes this jade, but Princess Ning didn't give it to her precious daughter, but gave it to her instead.

Shen Wantang didn't want to accept anything too valuable.

Princess Ning firmly held her hand and said, "This ancient jade is the most valuable when it is given to you. Tang'er, do you know what the real use of this jade is?"

Shen Wantang shook his head: "I don't know."

Princess Ning laughed softly: "Xi'er had seen this ancient jade when she was a child. At that time, she just thought it was strange and interesting because there were clouds and mists inside that moved, as if it was alive."

"But I never let her play with it, because this jade can cure all kinds of poisons."

Shen Wantang had heard similar stories before, but this was the first time he had actually seen this rare ancient jade.

Xiao Qingxi raised her eyebrows: "What?! Can it cure all poisons? Then why doesn't mother give it to me?!"

Princess Ning still ignored her and continued to say to Shen Wantang: "However, every time this ancient jade is used, the clouds and mist inside will decrease. It can be used up to three times. Remember to use it in critical moments and don't let others use it casually. At a critical moment, it may save your life."

Shen Wantang finally understood why Princess Ning had just said that this piece of ancient jade was more valuable than anything she had given her, because other gold, silver, and jewelry were all external possessions, while ancient jade could save lives, and its value was immeasurable and irreplaceable.

Although she knew the true function of the ancient jade, Shen Wantang still didn't want to accept it: "Mother, I am familiar with medicine, and I usually have antidote pills and other medicines. It would be a waste to give this ancient jade to me, so give it to the princess!"

Princess Ning shook her head and said, "It is because you are proficient in medicine that I want to give you the ancient jade."

Xiao Qingxi couldn't understand: "Mother, Shen Wantang is a doctor herself, she doesn't need your ancient jade! Why do you insist on giving it to her? Who is your biological daughter?"

Princess Ning sighed, "Of course you are my biological daughter. I will give the jade to your sister-in-law to protect her from being poisoned. She will be able to take care of you in the future. After all, if you are poisoned, your sister-in-law can prepare an antidote to detoxify you. You are the one who really doesn't need this ancient jade. Do you understand?"
