Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingyuan's fair face turned slightly red. He didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly!

But without money, he could not move forward, and he could not even have a hot meal. He could not even buy clean clothes for Yan Luo. He could only shamelessly come to Shen Wantang to borrow money, otherwise he and Yan Luo would starve to death in Xingheyuan sooner or later.

And Shen Wantang was probably the only person in this mansion who was willing to help him. Others were either unwilling, afraid, or simply did not have the money to help him.

He felt even more grateful to Shen Wantang. "There were many things I said to you before that were not right. Don't take it to heart. I really didn't touch gold and silver before, because no matter what I liked, there were people below me who would pay for it and help me get it. So, I don't have any feelings for these things."

"Besides, I never wear gold or silver in my hair, and neither does Yan Luo. The hairpins she wears are all wooden hairpins, which I carved myself and gave to her. So when you wear gold hairpins and gold ornaments in your hair, I think it's a bit tacky."

Du Juan was very upset when he heard him say that her master was vulgar again. Looking at the whole capital, which woman with a little wealth would not wear a gold or silver hairpin? Only those poor families would use wooden hairpins because they could not afford gold hairpins.

She turned to look at Shen Wantang, but saw that Shen Wantang was still smiling and didn't look angry at all.

"Your Highness thinks gold and silver are vulgar, but I like them very much. It's probably in my bones and there's no way to change it. Miss Yanluo, on the other hand, is elegant and refined. She doesn't like gold and silver jewelry but only likes wooden hairpins. She is indeed a breath of fresh air at the moment and very rare. Your Highness should give her more wooden hairpins in the future. She will definitely be very happy. Don't give her vulgar gold and silver, otherwise Miss Yanluo will think you don't understand her."

Seeing Shen Wantang praising Chu Yanluo, Xiao Qingyuan felt happy: "You have good taste. Yanluo is indeed a rare talent, otherwise I wouldn't like her so much. Don't worry, I will never give Yanluo vulgar things like gold and silver. I think these things are more suitable for you."

Shen Wantang finally revealed a sincere smile: "Your Highness is absolutely right. Gold and silver are vulgar things, and they are suitable to be given to me."

Xiao Qingyuan nodded, took the borrowed money, turned around and left.

Du Juan was quite indignant: "Princess, you are too easy to talk to. The prince said you were vulgar, and he praised Chu Yanluo and belittled you. How can you still laugh? I think you shouldn't have lent him the money. This man asked you to lend him money, but at the same time he disliked your love of gold and silver. It's so weird!"

Shen Wantang kept smiling: "Silly girl, if a few vulgar words from him can bring me benefits like gold and silver, then let him say it. He also said something worse, do I have to settle all of them with him? How can I live like this then?"

"What's more, I lent him the money out of consideration for the princess. Although the princess said that she had cut off all supplies for the prince, when I went to pay my respects to her, I heard her asking the nanny about the prince's situation. The princess only has this one son, and she loves him dearly, otherwise she would not have allowed him to bring Chu Yanluo into the mansion to take care of him."

She was willing to lend money to Xiao Qingyuan, but not for Xiao Qingyuan, but just to win the favor of her mother-in-law.

Even though the mother-in-law was so angry with her son that she became sick, she was still thinking about him. On the one hand, she wanted him to suffer a little so that he would understand her good intentions as a mother. On the other hand, she didn't want him to suffer too much, lest he really ruin his health.

Du Juan said with red eyes: "I know you have thought it through, but I just feel sorry for you. That Chu Yanluo is just pretending to be noble. She said she likes wooden hairpins. Isn't she just poor? She said it so pure and unworldly. I don't believe it. If I give her a gold hairpin, she will not want it!"

"Qin Xin said it all. The prince took a top-grade blood coral from his private storehouse. It was worth ten thousand taels of gold. He originally wanted Mo Ji to sell it outside to buy bird's nest for Chu Yanluo. But Chu Yanluo would rather not eat the bird's nest and take the blood coral away. It's obvious that she loves money and is greedy!"

"But the prince couldn't see through it and took her back to live in his palace like a treasure. He even asked you to hire a doctor for her. He even wanted you to treat her in person. The prince is really outrageous!"

Shen Wantang spoke calmly, her mood much more stable than her personal maid: "A harmonious family is the root of everything. She is just a woman. If the prince thinks she is good and wants to pamper her, then pamper her! Don't you think it's a good thing to have Chu Yanluo around?"

Du Juan was shocked: "How can this be a good thing?"

"Of course this is a good thing, because this way, I only need to take care of this one, and life will be much easier!"

Shen Wantang felt indeed relaxed, she even felt that her life now was fulfilling and promising.

Xiao Qingyuan can favor Chu Yanluo alone, or he can have three wives and four concubines, Shen Wantang doesn't care.

However, the Crown Prince's Consort of the Ning Palace can only be her, and must be her. Even if Xiao Qingyuan doesn't like her, he must respect her. Only in this way can she be the mistress of the palace and live a leisurely life.

Shen Wantang has never thought about divorcing Xiao Qingyuan. Would it be okay to change a man after the divorce?

Although Xiao Qingyuan always wanted to let her leave so that Chu Yanluo could become his Crown Princess, that was just his wishful thinking. As long as the princess and the prince lived, the Crown Princess of this palace would never fall to Chu Yanluo.

It doesn't matter who she marries. At least the palace is much richer than other families, and with Chu Yanluo as a comparison, her parents-in-law like her very much and like to send her good things. Even the servants in the palace like her and respect her. It's very easy for her to manage the family.

Here, there are all kinds of delicious food for her to taste every day, countless silks and satins for her to choose from to make clothes, and a pile of gold, silver and jewelry are stuffed into her hands like they are free. She loves the life in the palace so much!

As for her husband Xiao Qingyuan——

It was a bit noisy, but it was real and not hidden, which was much better than Liao Youhe.

In her previous life, she married Liao Youhe, but was badly trapped by the secret he hid. It would have been fine if he himself refused to consummate the marriage with her, but he actually found another man to consummate the marriage with her for him. Fortunately, she has always been perceptive. As soon as the man got into bed, she discovered something was wrong and immediately called the maid and the nanny, thus avoiding a huge disaster!

She would feel sick whenever she thought about this incident for the rest of her life.

In comparison, Xiao Qingyuan was much more straightforward. He said it without hiding his unwillingness to consummate the marriage, and he told the world that he had someone he liked. When he felt sorry for a woman, he apologized and gave her a lot of gold to make it up to her. He was so sincere that Shen Wantang felt embarrassed to make things difficult for him.
