Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Gu Qianning looked at Liu Nanshi coldly: "Liu Nanshi, stop slandering others and confusing right and wrong! It's obviously Xiao Qingxi who is bullying others!"

"When did you become so close to Xiao Qingxi? Didn't you often curse Xiao Qingxi behind her back before? Are you pretending to be good sisters now? You even went out together during the Lantern Festival. It's so weird!"

"Xiao Qingxi is really weird. She's pregnant, but instead of staying at home to take care of the baby, she's out wandering around. Is she trying to scam people on purpose?"

Liu Nanshi immediately looked at Xiao Qingxi: "Qingxi, don't listen to her instigation. I have never scolded you. I have always praised you."

Xiao Qingxi sneered, "I'm pregnant, so what? When the Lantern Festival is so lively, of course I have to go out and hang out! Gu Qianning, your tactics of sowing discord are too low-level, they won't work on me! I'm just wondering, how could you, a legitimate daughter of a Duke's Mansion, fall into the trap of hanging out with a lowly concubine's daughter like Shen Wantang? You're really bringing shame to your Duke's Mansion!"

Gu Qianning hit back bluntly: "Atang is the Crown Prince's Consort of your Ning Wangfu, and she was personally selected by the Princess. She is not of high birth, but she was still chosen by the Princess. Doesn't this show that she is very beautiful!"

"Xiao Qingxi, you should call her sister-in-law. It's really uncultured to yell at her here! I think you are bringing shame to your Ning Wang Mansion!"

Xiao Qingxi turned around and shouted at Xiao Qingyuan: "Brother, look, they are insulting me together! Divorce Shen Wantang right now! I don't want to see her again!"

Xiao Qingyuan's brows had already been knitted together. He stepped forward and suppressed his anger and said, "Stop arguing. Don't you see so many people are watching you having fun? This pleasure boat is so big, let's all go aboard together!"

"Brother! I don't want to ride on the same pleasure boat with Shen Wantang!"

"Shut up! What did you promise me before you left? Have you forgotten everything? If you keep making trouble, I will take you back to the palace right now!"

Xiao Qingxi gritted her teeth and endured it again and again. She glanced at Lin Rouxin who was following Huo Yunzhou, and the hatred in her heart reached its peak.

In order to throw Lin Rouxin into the river and drown her without leaving any trace, she clenched her fingers and agreed: "Okay, for your sake I will reluctantly agree to let Shen Wantang get on my pleasure boat!"

Xiao Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Shen Wantang and said, "Okay, let's get on the boat. It will be more lively if we all go boating together."

"lively?"

Shen Wantang looked at him coldly: "I don't need it."

Xiao Qingyuan's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Shen Wantang, don't be ungrateful! I just persuaded Qingxi to stop, are you going to make trouble again? Where is your tolerance and generosity? I tell you, even if you are pretending today, you have to pretend properly for me! Don't embarrass yourself in public!"

Shen Wantang glanced at the river bank. People around were constantly moving towards this side, obviously coming to watch the fun.

In her previous life, in such a situation, she would most likely choose to put up with the hardship and keep the peace, because she was also afraid of being embarrassed and being gossiped about.

But now, she doesn't want to wrong herself.

Reputation is important, but sometimes it’s not that important.

She suddenly smiled at Xiao Qingyuan: "What the prince said is right. Since the princess has given in, I should also take a step back. We are all family. We should be harmonious in public to avoid being laughed at."

Xiao Qingyuan's frown suddenly relaxed: "That's right. I know you are a gentle and generous person who won't lose your temper."

in the crowd.

Good fortune has gone and returned.

He stood beside Gu Qianhan and whispered, "Sir, I have already bought a pleasure boat. If it really doesn't work, we can let the eldest lady and the Crown Prince's wife go on the newly bought pleasure boat instead of sharing one with them."

Gu Qianhan's face was icy cold: "No, the pleasure boat was originally rented by Shen Wantang. There is no reason for them to give in and let Xiao Qingxi and Xiao Qingyuan take advantage!"

"But if they really share a pleasure boat, wouldn't the fun of the eldest lady and the Crown Prince's wife be completely ruined?"

"That may not be the case. Once we get on the pleasure boat, I'll find some new entertainment for them."

"What's new fun?"

"During the Lantern Festival, the two of them only ate glutinous rice balls. They haven't even seen the glutinous rice balls. I think Xiao Qingyuan and the others all look like glutinous rice balls."

"Ah? You want to push the prince and the others into the river?"

"It's a kick."

"What if someone dies?"

"Not all the dumplings are good when they are scooped up. Some are broken."

Jixiang couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Young Master, you are really ruthless!"

Gu Qianhan thought expressionlessly, is he cruel? Why does he feel that it is not enough?

Anyway, Xiao Qingyuan was a short-lived ghost in his previous life, so it doesn’t matter if he lives a little shorter in this life!

While the master and servant were talking, on the shore, Xiao Qingyuan was still praising Shen Wantang for being sensible and understanding.

After praising her, he added, "Oh, by the way, I actually bought you a gift for the Lantern Festival. I'll give it to you after we get on board. You'll definitely like it."

Shen Wantang's face was full of surprise: "The prince actually prepared a gift for me? I wonder if it's just me or everyone else?"

"Of course it's something you alone have, and no one else has it."

"Not even the princess?"

"cough!"

Xiao Qingyuan glanced at Xiao Qingxi and said hastily, "I haven't picked anything for her yet. She's picky, so it's hard to buy for her."

"That's it!"

Shen Wantang still smiled: "Your Highness is so thoughtful, I am very touched, I will thank you later. For now, let's get on the pleasure boat first, the princess is pregnant, you should help her, take good care of her, watch your step, don't slip."

Xiao Qingyuan nodded: "Okay, don't worry, I will protect her."

"Ah."

Shen Wantang responded, pulled the still angry Gu Qianning over, and took her onto the houseboat.

After their maids came up, Shen Wantang immediately ordered the boat owner: "Start the boat! Don't wait for them!"

After she finished speaking, she took out a heavy silver ingot and gave it to the boat owner.

The boat owner didn't like Xiao Qingxi either. Seeing that Shen Wantang had given him extra silver ingots, he immediately smiled and rowed the boat away: "Okay, hold on tight!"

On the shore, Xiao Qingxi was supported by Xiao Qingyuan and Nanny Kang on her left and right. Just as she was about to step onto the board, she found that the boat had sailed away!

She nearly tripped and fell into the river!

She stared at the boat that had already rowed two meters away in shock and anger: "Shen Wantang, you dare to play tricks on me?! Just wait, you are dead!"

Xiao Qingyuan looked at Shen Wantang in disbelief: "You lied to me? I trusted you so much, and you lied to me?"

Shen Wantang looked at them indifferently, too lazy to respond to anything.

Gu Qianning, who was beside her, discovered that she had used a trick and did not bring Xiao Qingxi and the others on the pleasure boat. She could not help but laugh out loud: "Haha, let's sail! Let's cruise on the river! I can release river lanterns to pray for blessings! Oh, why didn't the princess come on board? She's pregnant and moves slowly. She can't even get on the boat. She should just go back and lie down!"
