Chapter 39 This fabric is perfect for making clothes for Yanluo!

The manager smiled and said, "Please allow me to keep the identity of this expert a secret for now, Your Highness. She will appear at our restaurant in a few days. She also has some other unique snacks that Your Highness can try."

He refused to say who the person was, and Shen Wantang didn't press him, knowing that she would find out sooner or later anyway.

She had a vague feeling that it probably wasn't Shen Mingxuan, because Shen Mingxuan didn't have that kind of brain. Right now, she was only thinking about becoming Liao Youhe's wife and living a life that everyone would envy with him in the future. She wouldn't even think about finding a restaurant to sell snacks.

But if this person isn't Shen Mingxuan, then who could it be?

Besides her and Shen Mingxuan, were there any other people who were reborn?

Shen Wantang waved for the steward to leave. She found this life particularly interesting; one, two, three people had all been reborn. She wondered how lively the capital would become in the future.

After leaving the restaurant, Shen Wantang returned to the Prince's Mansion.

She went to see the princess first, and then gave her a piece of fabric in an elegant color.

This fabric, with its distinctive pattern, became incredibly popular in the capital after the princess wore it in her previous life. In this life, she simply bought the fabric in advance and presented it to the princess.

Upon seeing the fabric, the princess was indeed delighted, and even her sickly appearance improved by three points. She exclaimed, "Look at our Crown Princess! She's so much more considerate than my son. That scoundrel only knows how to annoy me every day. When has he ever searched for such beautiful fabric to send me? Tang'er, you're so thoughtful. I've truly struck gold. Even my own daughter isn't as good as you! No, even my own daughter isn't as good as you!"

Shen Wantang smiled and said, "I'm embarrassed by Mother's praise. How can I compare to the Princess? The Princess is not by your side. If she were, she would definitely be much more filial than me."

The princess shook her head and sighed, "If she were truly filial, she wouldn't have disobeyed me and insisted on marrying the eldest son of the general's mansion. Now she's gone to the Northwest with that young master, and it's difficult for me to even see her."

Prince Ning and Princess Ning had two children: their eldest son, Xiao Qingyuan, and Princess Shuyang, Xiao Qingxi, who was showered with love and affection.

Xiao Qingxi is seventeen years old this year. Two years ago, she had just come of age when she married into the general's mansion and then followed her husband to the northwest to guard the frontier.

However, in two months at most, General Huo will return in triumph, and then Young Master Huo and Xiao Qingxi will also come back.

Shen Wantang was unwilling to reveal her rebirth, so she subtly reminded her mother-in-law: "Mother misses the princess, and the princess must miss mother too. As the saying goes, what you keep in mind will surely come to pass. Your wish will come true."

The princess took it as her trying to comfort herself, smiled at her, chatted with her about everyday things, and then let her go back.

Not long after Shen Wantang left, Xiao Qingyuan arrived.

He wasn't truly heartless. Ever since the princess fell ill, he came to pay his respects to her every day, inquire about her condition, and even personally prepared medicine for her. Although he eventually ruined the medicine, the princess's anger subsided considerably.

Of course, the princess attributed all of her son's changes to Shen Wantang.

After all, before Shen Wantang came to the Prince's Mansion, the mansion was in complete chaos, and Xiao Qingyuan was like a madman every day, only knowing how to mutter about Chu Yanluo.

After Shen Wantang married into the family, the Prince's mansion became peaceful all of a sudden. Xiao Qingyuan didn't know what was wrong with him, but he suddenly became more like a normal person. Moreover, he no longer only had Chu Yanluo on his mind, and sometimes he would mention Shen Wantang.

The princess was secretly delighted, feeling that everything in the manor was developing in a good direction after Shen Wantang came into the picture, and that she had indeed made the right choice in choosing this daughter-in-law!

"Mother, your son greets you."

As Xiao Qingyuan spoke, he observed the princess's complexion. Seeing that her complexion was rosier and she seemed to be in better spirits than before, and that she wasn't giving him a cold look, he knew he had come to the right place.

Over the past few days, he has figured out a pattern: if he greets Shen Wantang before she arrives, his mother will definitely dislike him, give him a hard time, and scold him severely.

However, if he greets Shen Wantang after she arrives, and Shen Wantang makes his mother happy first, then when he comes, his mother will not give him a hard time, and will even speak to him much more kindly.

So today, after he learned that Shen Wantang had come to pay her respects to his mother, he kept an eye on things here with Mo Ji. As soon as Shen Wantang left, Mo Ji would go and inform him, and then he would come to pay his respects.

"Yuan'er is here, come and sit down!"

The princess, unusually pleased with her son, pointed to the fabric on the table and asked, "What do you think of the pattern?"

Xiao Qingyuan looked at the fabric and his eyes lit up: "It's elegant and refreshing, perfect for tailoring."

He almost blurted out that Yanluo would like this pattern, but he swallowed the words back down.

His mother didn't like Yanluo, so if he asked her for the fabric, she definitely wouldn't give it to him.

Therefore, we need to be more tactful.

"Whom did Mother prepare this cloth for? Was it for Shen Wantang?"

"no."

“I don’t think so either. She likes those gaudy colors and tacky gold and silver. Such beautiful fabric is not suitable for her.”

The princess glanced at him, her tone turning indifferent: "The clothes Tang'er has been wearing these past few days were all gifts from me. Are you saying I'm gaudy?"

Xiao Qingyuan froze: "Were they all gifts from my mother?"

"Of course it was a gift from me. What kind of clothes should a young lady wear if not bright and beautiful ones? Does she expect to wear plain white every day, looking like she's in mourning? Your father and I are not dead yet. Anyone who dares to dress like that is cursing your father and me!"

Xiao Qingyuan sighed. He knew that his mother was making veiled criticisms again, and this wasn't the first time she had brought it up. Yan Luo liked to wear white clothes and even tied her long hair up with white ribbons, which his mother always thought was unlucky.

He dared not respond to his mother's words, fearing that he would make her faint again from anger.

He said tactfully, "The fabric in Mother's hand is elegant and simple, like a wisp of light blue smoke. The gradient dyeing gives it a misty and ethereal feel. The flowing water pattern is also suitable for young people, but not so suitable for Mother. Since Shen Wantang doesn't like this fabric either, Mother, please give it to me!"

The princess was taken aback: "For you?"

"Yes, is it that Mother is reluctant to give it to me? But besides me, she probably has no one else to give it to, right?"

"This material is not suitable for men, it's only for women. What do you want it for?"

"Mother, don't worry about what I do with it, just give it to me!"

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't help but touch the fabric. To his surprise, it was incredibly soft and delicate, with a beautiful drape. This material would be extremely comfortable whether made into an undergarment or an outer garment.

These clothes are perfect for making clothes for Yanluo!
