Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingxi almost thought he had heard it wrong: "What did you say?!"

"Qingxi, I'm serious. I won't take a concubine anymore. I only want you, and I don't want anyone else! Come home with me, I can't lose you!"

Xiao Qingxi's eyes turned red and soon tears fell.

These were the words she had been looking forward to hearing the most in recent days. She didn't expect Huo Yunzhou to really say them. She felt like she was dreaming.

She asked three times in a row, but Huo Yunzhou gave the same answer each time.

He firmly chose her and gave up Lin Rouxin!

Why did she need Shen Wantang now? No bets, no apologies, nothing was needed!

She immediately stood up, walked quickly forward, and threw herself into Huo Yunzhou's arms: "You really deserve to die! Why did you only realize now that I am the most important person in your life? I've been too good to you, and I've spoiled you to the point of daring to take a concubine! Will you take a concubine in the future? Speak!"

"No more concubines, no more concubines. No one is more important than you."

The two people ignored the existence of the people around them, hugged each other, and expressed their love to each other. The scene was very touching for a moment.

Huo Yunzhou coaxed her for a while, and finally made Xiao Qingxi smile. She wiped her tears, let go of Huo Yunzhou, and looked at Princess Ning: "Mother, I will go home with Yunzhou now!"

Princess Ning finally saw her daughter's bright and happy smile again, and her heart finally relaxed. She also smiled: "Okay, go back, you two live a good life, and after the New Year, you can stay in the palace for a few days."

Xiao Qingxi had just reconciled with Huo Yunzhou, so she was reluctant to leave him. She was also worried that Lin Rouxin would take advantage of her again, so she said, "I won't come back to live here. If you miss me, come to the Huo family to see me!"

Princess Ning's heart, which had just relaxed, began to feel bitter again, but she did not show it. She still smiled gently and looked at her daughter with great love: "Okay, I'll listen to Xi'er. You have the final say."

She found a better reason in her mind for her daughter: her daughter was pregnant and it was indeed not appropriate for her to run back and forth.

There was nothing wrong with her daughter asking her to go to the Huo family to see her.

The scene became joyful, but the only person who was truly happy in the room at that moment was Xiao Qingxi.

The rest of the people have their own thoughts.

Shen Wantang's eyes swept across the faces of Xiao Qingyuan and Huo Yunzhou, and a guess came to her mind - Xiao Qingyuan might have told Huo Yunzhou that Xiao Qingxi was pregnant.

Otherwise, Huo Yunzhou would not have suddenly undergone such a drastic change.

Last night he complained about how difficult his life was. He said that he would never go back on his promise and leave Lin Rouxin alone.

Moreover, when Huo Yunzhou hugged Xiao Qingxi, he was more careful and did not dare to use any force, obviously because he was afraid of hurting her stomach.

Xiao Qingyuan looked nervous and stared at Huo Yunzhou closely, as if he was afraid that Huo Yunzhou would say something wrong.

However, Shen Wantang pretended that she saw nothing. She couldn't possibly ruin the atmosphere at the moment. What's more, Xiao Qingxi's return to the Huo family was also a good thing for her.

Soon, Xiao Qingxi followed Huo Yunzhou.

Princess Ning personally escorted the person to the door and watched the carriage disappear before she returned to the palace.

Shen Wantang and Xiao Qingyuan naturally followed.

"Okay, Xi'er is gone, you two should go back and rest too, especially Tang'er, who has been troubled by Xi'er these days. Go back and have a good rest, you will be busy during the New Year."

Shen Wantang agreed with a smile. After she and Xiao Qingyuan sent Princess Ning back to her courtyard, they each returned to their own courtyard.

When they returned to Wutong Garden, Qin Xin immediately came up to them and whispered, "Princess, I heard a big secret!"

Shen Wantang was shocked to see that her eyes were red from staying up late, but she looked very excited. "What happened to you? Are you sick?"

Qin Xin quickly shook her head, supported Shen Wantang's arm and went into the inner room, then closed the door: "Don't worry, Princess, I'm in good health and not sick. I just didn't sleep all night and went to the Prince's courtyard to listen to the news."

Shen Wantang looked at her in shock. She had clearly said that it was freezing cold and Qin Xin didn't need to make this trip. She didn't expect that not only did she run away, but she also stared at Xiao Qingyuan all night!

When she was getting dressed in the morning, she didn't see Qin Xin, but she didn't take it too seriously. She just thought she had overslept because she worked too hard during the day.

She was always kind to her personal maids. She would not blame them if they overslept occasionally, nor would she ask about it. Because the maids were under the supervision of Madam Chai, no one would do anything out of line.

But unexpectedly, Qin Xin didn’t just oversleep, she didn’t sleep at all!

Even when she went to pay her respects to Princess Ning, Qin Xin was still listening to news from Xiao Qingyuan!

This maid is too loyal to her and works so hard for her!

Shen Wantang reached out and touched the maid's face, then touched her hands. They were all cold. It was obvious that she had been standing outside for too long and was severely frozen. She had not recovered even after returning.

She was not in a hurry to hear the secret, but said, "Dujuan, bring a bowl of hot bird's nest soup."

Dujuan responded and brought a bowl.

Shen Wantang took it and handed it to Qin Xin: "Drink it, it will warm you up."

Qin Xin was touched, knowing that Shen Wantang cared about her, she did not refuse. After thanking him, she took the bird's nest and drank it all in one breath.

After drinking it, her body became warm and she became even more excited.

"Princess, has the princess returned to the Huo family with her uncle? Did her uncle say that he would not take concubines?"

"Ah."

"Do you know why the uncle said that?"

Shen Wantang already knew what was going on, but she still satisfied the maid's desire to talk: "Why?"

Qin Xin lowered her voice and whispered, "Because the prince has already told the son-in-law that the princess is pregnant."

Shen Wantang nodded, it was indeed so.

Seeing her reaction so calm, Qin Xin couldn't help but ask, "Princess, why aren't you surprised? Have you guessed it a long time ago?"

"Well, I guessed a little bit. Huo Yunzhou has changed a lot before and after. It's hard not to be suspicious."

"But you certainly didn't guess something else."

"what's up?"

"My son-in-law and the prince have discussed that they should trick the princess back first, and then discuss everything after she gives birth to the child!"

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Lie?"

"Yes, my uncle still wants to take a concubine! He said that Miss Lin is too pitiful, and he wants to take care of Miss Lin for the rest of her life. The prince thinks that my uncle is a man of love and righteousness, and he said that taking a concubine is not a big deal, so he is willing to help my uncle."

Shen Wantang was not surprised by Xiao Qingyuan's idea, but was a little surprised by Huo Yunzhou's behavior. She didn't expect Huo Yunzhou to dare to lie to Xiao Qingxi.

"Is Huo Yunzhou not afraid that the princess will completely break up with him after she finds out that he lied to her?"

"I think that after the princess gives birth to a child, she will not break up with him for the sake of the child. Besides, I have a backup plan!"

"What method?"

"He plans to secretly raise Miss Lin outside first, and he will run back and forth between the two places. In the future, when the princess gives birth to a child and is willing to accept Miss Lin, he will bring Miss Lin back to the Huo family."
