Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Before the Crown Prince's Consort married into the palace, Qin Xin, like everyone else in the mansion, felt that her status was too low. How could a concubine's daughter of a noble official be worthy of their son, who was of noble birth and unparalleled handsomeness?

But after the Crown Prince's wife got married, Qin Xin suddenly felt that, in fact, the blind Crown Prince was not worthy of such a good Crown Prince's wife.

She walked quickly out of Xingheyuan and returned to Wutongyuan.

As soon as she got back, she told Shen Wantang everything that happened in Xingheyuan, including her speculation about the pigeon soup.

Shen Wantang shook his head after hearing this: "What a pity for that pot of pigeon soup."

Qin Xin felt that her thinking was very different from that of ordinary people: "Crown Princess, do you only feel sorry for the pigeon soup? Don't you think that the Crown Prince is too good to that girl and too bad to you? Don't you feel wronged?"

Shen Wantang said calmly, "Whoever the prince wants to treat well is his business. All I have to do now is to manage the household for my mother."

She called Dujuan, compensated Qinxin for the money she had spent on hiring the imperial physician, and also gave her a bag of silver as a reward.

"You have performed well in Xingheyuan and know how to protect my reputation. You deserve a reward."

Chu Yanluo insisted on asking Qin Xin to wash her clothes, just to use Qin Xin to slap her in the face as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Qin Xin handled the situation very well, so she should be rewarded and encouraged.

However, since Chu Yanluo dared to order her maid around, he must not take her seriously at all.

In this case, don't blame her for being rude.

"Madam Chai, from tomorrow on, no one will be allowed to take care of the chores in Xinghe Courtyard. Maids and servants are not allowed to enter. There is no need to do the sweeping and cleaning, and there is no need to send anyone to deliver water."

As soon as Nanny Chai heard it, she knew that it was Chu Yanluo's provocation that made Shen Wantang unhappy. No one cleaned the courtyard and the house, no one brought them water, and no one cooked for them. Let's see how long the love between the prince and that shameless nun can last!

She felt that the Crown Prince's Concubine's move of cutting off the source of the problem was quite clever.

The prince had been living a life of luxury since he was young, with someone even serving him when he was dressed. He had never suffered any hardship, let alone done any rough work. He had no idea of ​​the sufferings of the world, so he believed Chu Yanluo's slander and drove away all the servants around him.

Although he drove away the servants, his yard was still cleaned by maids and old women every day. However, they would clean it when the prince was not around and would leave quickly after they were done.

That's why his yard can always be kept beautiful and clean, and his clothes can always be kept shiny and new.

Now, it’s time for the prince to suffer. When he finds himself short of money, the yard is in a mess, and no one even washes his clothes, can he still have love and contentment with Chu Yanluo?

Madam Chai was looking forward to the day when the Crown Prince would collapse. She responded respectfully, "Yes, it's all up to the Crown Prince's wife. From tomorrow on, there will be no one to serve the Crown Prince."

The Crown Prince's wife seems to have a very good temper. No matter what the Crown Prince does, she never gets angry. But she only tolerates the Crown Prince, after all, he is her husband.

When she is bullied by others, she will not just tolerate it.

This is good.

Early the next morning, Qin Xin came to report: "Princess, there's a commotion at Xinghe Courtyard."

While eating the fresh and smooth goat milk soup, Shen Wantang asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Qin Xin couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. "The one who came from Jixin Temple started crying and complaining about the prince early in the morning. She said she couldn't even have a hot meal and she was dizzy from hunger. Then she said her clothes were dirty and no one washed them. She complained that the prince didn't love her and didn't prepare more new clothes for her. Then she complained that no one brought her water to wash her face and rinse her mouth. The prince brought her water, but she complained that the water was too cold. She said she had just had a miscarriage and couldn't touch cold water. She asked the prince to bring her hot water."

"At first, the prince was ordered around by her, almost like a servant. But later, for some reason, he suddenly got angry and started arguing with that girl. Later, I understood that the prince was worried about the pot of pigeon soup that was smashed by that girl yesterday."

Shen Wantang was not surprised by the quarrel between the two.

When people have money and free time, they will naturally only pursue romance and the so-called soul mate.

But when you have no money and no time, eating and dressing become the top priority. Who can care about the soul? If the soul wants to live, the body must be alive first!

Poor couples have many worries. They are used to being served by others, and now they have fallen from heaven into hell where they have to do everything by themselves. How can there be no conflicts and frictions?

"Oh, Crown Princess, you don't know, Xinghe Courtyard is in a mess now, there's no food to eat, no water to drink, and what's even more terrible is that no one takes care of their toilets, the room stinks, the Crown Prince and that one both stink, didn't that one claim to be a fairy who was elegant and refined before? Now, she can't act like a fairy anymore!"

Shen Wantang was amused by her gloating look: "How do you know so much? Did you go in?"

"How could that be possible? I just heard some of the excitement outside. What happened in the courtyard was all told to me quietly by Mo Ji when he came out from inside. Mo Ji and I both came out of the palace when we were six years old, so we still have some affection for each other, so he will definitely not lie to me."

Qin Xin said, lowering her voice, "Prince's Concubine, the one who came from Jixin Temple is still thinking about driving Mo Ji away. She said something bad about Mo Ji, and the prince didn't even let Mo Ji serve him. Do you think we should take this opportunity to bribe Mo Ji and make him your man?"

Shen Wantang couldn't help but knock her head. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I bribe Mo Ji? As long as he's not driven away, he's the prince's man. I can't cross the line. What's more, although Mo Ji will reveal some information to you, I'm afraid he is not someone I can bribe."

In the previous life, all the servants around Xiao Qingyuan were driven away by Chu Yanluo for various reasons, but Mo Ji stayed with Xiao Qingyuan all the time, which showed Xiao Qingyuan's trust and protection for him.

Later, Xiao Qingyuan jumped into the river to commit suicide for Chu Yanluo. Mo Ji jumped in to save him, but unfortunately he was swallowed by the fast current and died in the river.

Qin Xin touched the place where Shen Wantang had hit her and whispered, "I just feel sorry for Mo Ji. He didn't eat much yesterday and was still buying things on credit outside to make bird's nests for the guy at Ji Xin Temple. He slept in the yard last night, and he wouldn't let him go into the house, not even into the side room. This morning he went to the kitchen to beg for a bucket of hot water from the prince, but the kitchen didn't give him any, so he got scolded by the prince when he got back."

Shen Wantang smiled faintly: "It is true that hot water cannot be given. This is my order. However, don't you have an extraordinary relationship with Mo Ji? You can send him some hot rice and soup privately, and I will pretend that I don't know."

Qin Xin's eyes lit up and she immediately bowed: "Thank you, Crown Princess!"

As they were talking, a maid came to report: "Princess, the steward outside said that your sister from your mother's family, Madam Shen, is here. She said she has something important to tell you. Do you want someone to come in?"
