Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Qing Hai stepped forward to serve tea and asked quietly, "If such a boastful person were placed in Jiangnan, Your Highness wouldn't be afraid that he wouldn't be able to collect taxes, right?"

"Let those cunning people in Jiangnan teach him a lesson first.

"If he can still be a human being, he can stay in Jiangnan and fight for a while, and then be taken to Sichuan. That's not bad. If he can no longer be a human being, I will send him to be a ghost."

The prince sneered, raised his eyebrows and asked Qinghai, "Didn't this person give you something when he came to see me?"

Qinghai held up the purse in his hand: "Two taels."

Blinking her innocent eyes, she said, "Compared to the twenty taels that the Shandong official gave me yesterday, it's a lot less."

"Humph, this is looking down on me, and naturally looking down on you." The prince tapped his hand on the table and said, "Send two people to his side."

Qing Hai curled his lips subconsciously: "I really think highly of him."

"You're too talkative!" The prince glared at him and flipped through the list again, "Who's next?"

"Yes... Master, I would rather die than surrender. But first of all, I would like to ask you a question. Where are you going to have dinner tonight? What do you want to eat? Who do you want to eat with?" Qinghai said with a grin.

The prince suddenly realized and glanced out the window: "It's just the first hour of the afternoon, why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's still Yi Qiu Palace... They had hot pot for lunch today. The three of them brought the princess and they were enjoying the meal very much..." Qing Hai swallowed his saliva, looking greedy.

The prince laughed, looked at him and shook his head: "Look at your behavior! It seems that I was wrong. I should have sent you to Yiqiu Palace and kept Shouzhong in Lizheng Palace!"

Qing Hai said angrily: "Say it or not! Your Highness, you haven't noticed that Xia Shouzhong has grown fat and white, with his nose in the air, and he doesn't want to leave!"

The prince smiled and shook his head: "It's not time for A-Xia to come back yet. I know you've been very tired recently. How about this, Chang Ying——"

When he saw Chang Ying, who had become much more stable and obviously more mature, he smiled and said, "Go to Yi Qiu Palace and tell him that I want to eat something to relieve my fatigue for dinner. Let Wang come up with the menu."

Qinghai held his breath and waited for a long time, but he didn't hear the prince say the word "serve the meal". He was surprised and asked, "That's it? You won't let her serve the meal?"

"No need." The prince was also depressed. "When she serves the meal, it's like she's sent by me."

At this point, he was stunned, and suddenly realized, "She heard that I brought Lin to the East Palace, right? That's why she wanted to see me so badly? Is she trying to show off?!"

Qinghai: May I ask how you completely forgot that people wanted to bring an army to punish you for not keeping your promise for three years?

Chang Ying was standing nearby. He took one look at his master's complicated expression and immediately said, "Then I'll pass on the message."

The prince hummed, and then left the trivial matters aside, and ordered Qinghai: "Pass it on to the next one."

The master and the disciple walked out together.

After leaving the palace, Qinghai reminded Changying in a low voice: "Go and report directly to Master Chenghui, don't say too much to that Xia guy. That guy is as cunning as a ghost, and he will trick you into it later!"

Changying responded with a smile, and trotted off with his robe in hand.

What is this?

I have to reply to Master Cheng Hui quickly so that the kitchen can prepare the meal in time. Thinking of this, he grabbed a young eunuch from the side of the road and ordered him to go to the kitchen to tell him: "Don't prepare the prince's dinner tonight. I will send you the menu later and then prepare it!"

The young eunuch agreed with surprise, told Changying his name, and left happily.

Chang Ying ran all the way into the East Hall of Yi Qiu Palace before he regained his breath.

As soon as he saw Fugui'er, he quickly grabbed him and told him, "I am Lizheng Palace Chief Ying, and I am here to tell Master Chenghui what His Royal Highness said. Go and tell him."

Fuguier immediately looked flattering: "Hello, Master Changying! My name is Fuguier..."

"I'm in a hurry, so you can flatter me next time! Hurry up and pass the message!" Chang Ying was impatient.

Is there such a tactless person in the East Palace?

Didn't Master say that Master Xia was strict with his subordinates? This doesn't seem like it...

Fuguier's flattery hit the horse's hoof, so he had to report it in anger.

Wang Xifeng had a full lunch and took a nap. When she woke up, she felt full of energy. She just wanted to leave the "Zizhi Tongjian" that Xia Shouzhong was "reading" with her and go to the yard to practice boxing and using a stick.

When he heard what Li Zhengdian had to say, he quickly threw down the book and ordered Fuguier, "Please come in!"

Chang Ying strode in and saw the pretty girl sitting behind the table. He was amazed and smiled. He knelt down on his knees and bowed deeply to Wang Xifeng:

"I am Chang Ying, your servant, and I pay my respects to Master Cheng Hui. I haven't seen you for three years. May I ask how Master Cheng Hui has been doing?"

Wang Xifeng laughed out loud, which made people feel happy. She stretched out her hand and said, "Hurry up and get up! Fugui'er, help me up!"

After Chang Ying stood up, he smiled and said, "I'm fine. How are you? What do you want, Your Highness?"

"Thanks to Master Chenghui, I have made great progress in the past three years. Now I am accompanying my master, Eunuch Qinghai, in the Lizheng Palace and serving the Crown Prince. I have good things to eat every day!"

Chang Ying told a joke first, Fang Weiwei turned around and bowed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has been very busy these days, and he is a little tired. Once it's night, he has to drink ginseng tea.

"Today, I heard that Master Chenghui has recovered, so I ordered my servant to come to find Master Chenghui and ask you to prepare a menu for tonight's dinner that will help you relax.

"I'll be waiting for you. I'll take it to the kitchen and have them prepare it according to this list."

Wang Xifeng immediately stood up, holding onto the table with her hands: "Oh my! You guys think it's so simple!

"Do you think that when the kitchen prepares meals for the prince, all it takes is a touch of the upper lip and the menu will be ready?

"Then I have to read the imperial physician's pulse record first to understand the food taboos of His Highness recently; then I have to check the menus for the past two days to prevent dietary conflicts; then I have to prepare meat and vegetables according to the seasons, and pay attention to 'eating in season'; finally, I have to take into account His Highness's taste and the changes in the weather.

"I don't know anything, and I just randomly make a menu. What if I violate any taboo? Will I be killed?"

Chang Ying was stunned: "Then, what should we do?"

"Never mind. His Highness has always been frugal. It's really not worth bothering him to think twice before eating. Besides, he has so many important things to do."

Wang Xifeng clapped her hands and smiled, "Why don't you take me to the kitchen? I'll discuss a list with the chef.

"You, follow me too. I will tell you the order of serving His Highness the meal. I guarantee that he will eat happily and comfortably. How do you think?"

Xia Shouzhong frowned and said, "Chenghui, there are many foreign men in the kitchen. It's not convenient for you to go there. Why don't you stay in our small kitchen..."

"This concerns the health of the prince. How can we be careless about such a small detail?" Wang Xifeng rejected Xia Shouzhong's suggestion, went back to her room, changed into men's clothes, and put on a veil.

When everyone saw him, they felt that he looked even more heroic, smart and capable.

"Let's go, Lao Xia and Jing Li follow."
