Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Qin Xin, prepare a generous thank-you gift, and ask Madam Chai to go to Dr. Zhou's residence to thank him on my behalf."

"Princess, the princess has already thanked Doctor Zhou and even gave away the wild ginseng king that our palace treasures."

"The princess should thank you, but I should thank you too."

"Oh, by the way, the princess also gave Doctor Zhou an extremely rare Ice Jade Snow Lotus. I heard it was brought back from the northwest. There were only two in total. The princess ate one herself, and she couldn't bear to eat the remaining one, so she brought it back to the capital to save her life."

Shen Wantang was stunned: "Ice Jade Snow Lotus?"

"Yes, what's the matter? Has the Crown Prince's wife seen this rare thing? I heard that it has the magical effect of bringing the dead back to life. Is this true?"

Shen Wantang shook her head. She had never seen it.

However, she had heard in her previous life that Xiao Qingxi's snow lotus was later snatched away by Lin Rouxin.

The most important thing is that Lin Rouxin didn’t eat it herself. In front of Xiao Qingxi, she fed this extremely precious snow lotus to the dog.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time, and Xiao Qingxi was even so angry that he vomited blood.

"The efficacy of bringing the dead back to life is naturally exaggerated, but it can indeed cure many strange poisons, warm the yang and dispel cold, and nourish the body. It is also suitable as a medicine for many medicines. For doctors, it is a top holy object."

"So, Doctor Zhou must really like this snow lotus?"

"Well, Doctor Zhou's hard work all night was not in vain. The gift the princess sent this time must have touched Doctor Zhou's heart. Apart from the princess, no one else can give such a thank-you gift."

Ice Jade Snow Lotus, there is not even any in the imperial palace.

Qin Xin couldn't help but frowned: "The princess gave such a big gift, what should we give? I'm afraid we will be outdone by the princess."

A faint smile appeared on Shen Wantang's pale face. "Why should I compete with the princess? Doctor Zhou saving her and the child is completely different from seeing a doctor and prescribing medicine for me. It's two levels of difficulty."

"It is only natural for the princess to send Doctor Zhou Xuelian. After all, Doctor Zhou saved two lives at once this time! If you change the doctor, not only will the child be gone, but the princess herself may not be able to save her life."

"As for me, I just have a high fever caused by a cold. It's not difficult to treat. I'll just give Doctor Zhou some ordinary thank-you gifts."

Qin Xin suddenly realized: "Yes, we don't have to give a big gift, just a generous gift will do!"

As she was talking, Madam Chai came in and said, "Princess, the princess is here to see you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Ning walked in.

Shen Wantang struggled to get up, but Princess Ning walked over quickly and held her down: "Don't get up, lie down quickly!"

"Mom, I'm fine."

"What do you mean it's okay? I already knew that you fell into the water last night. Luckily Yuan'er was there and rescued you. If anything had happened to you, I don't know what I would have done..."

Princess Ning couldn't continue speaking. Her eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had cried very hard last night.

"Mother, I'm really fine. I was mentally prepared for falling into the water, so I didn't panic. With the help of the prince, I came out quickly. I was also surprised to have a high fever. I guess my body is a little weak, and I worried you."

Princess Ning looked at her pale face and lips, sighed slightly, her voice choked with sobs: "Tang'er, you are so sensible, which makes me feel even more guilty. I apologize to you on behalf of Qingxi. That girl is used to being lawless, and she was so bold as to ask someone to hit your pleasure boat. It's really outrageous."

"But she is my flesh and blood after all, I can't kill her. Besides, she has learned a great lesson and almost lost her life. You don't know how dangerous it was last night..."

"Tang'er, can you please give me some face and not bother with her? Don't worry, after she gets better, I will definitely teach her a lesson and make her apologize to you!"

Shen Wantang shook her head. "What are you talking about, mother? Why would I bother with the princess? The princess doesn't need to apologize. I was also wrong last night. I was afraid that the pleasure boat was not safe, so I didn't let the princess get on. I made the princess angry, so she asked someone to hit my pleasure boat. She had her reasons for doing this."

When Princess Ning saw that she had admitted her mistake, she was visibly relieved. She took Shen Wantang's hand and said, "Good child, you are so generous and tolerant for not arguing with her. I thank you on behalf of Qingxi."

"We are all family, we should get along well with each other. Qingxi has no bad intentions. She is just like her brother, impulsive and willful, but she actually has a good heart."

Shen Wantang smiled at her and said something against her will without blinking, "Mother is right. The princess actually has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She is just like the prince, kind-hearted and honest."

Princess Ning also smiled. She felt that Shen Wantang was a pleasing daughter-in-law.

She nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, that's right, they are like this, your summary is very accurate."

"Is the princess okay? The prince also fell into the water last night. Did he catch a cold?"

"All right, all right. Qingxi's baby is saved. She's just a little weak now, so she's lying down to rest! Qingyuan's not in any serious condition either, but he also had a high fever in the second half of the night. Imperial Doctor Zhou prescribed some medicine for him, and he's still sleeping now."

"I feel relieved that they are all well. Nothing is more important than our family being together and safe."

"That's right. That's what I said. It's normal for a family to have some minor frictions and quarrels occasionally, but the important thing is that a family doesn't hold grudges overnight. We still have to tolerate and support each other."

Before Princess Ning came, she was prepared for Shen Wantang to lose his temper.

She originally thought that if Shen Wantang was rude, she would not be nice to Shen Wantang either, and would take the opportunity to teach her a lesson and make her fulfill her duties as a sister-in-law. After all, it was she who started the conflict last night, otherwise her daughter would not have gone crazy and rammed her houseboat!

Unexpectedly, Shen Wantang was sensible and took the initiative to admit her mistake. Her words were very nice and considerate. Even when she was sick, she was still thinking about Xiao Qingxi and Xiao Qingyuan's situation. It can be said that she was thoughtful.

Since her daughter-in-law did such an impeccable job, Princess Ning naturally couldn't act like a mother-in-law. There was no need for her to criticize Shen Wantang as she knew when to advance and when to retreat, and she was obviously a very smart person.

After comforting Shen Wantang a few more words, Princess Ning left. She was still worried about Xiao Qingxi and had to stay with her.

Seeing her leave, Qin Xin couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "The princess is really biased. She said she was apologizing to the prince's wife on behalf of the princess, but in fact she was speaking for the princess. It's okay for the prince, at least he didn't kill anyone, but the princess has killed someone, and they still say she has a good heart. If she has a bad heart, what would it be like?"
