Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Xifeng paused.

It has been three years since she last had a fight with a sinister and treacherous person, and she almost forgot how to deal with such a situation.

But the instinct deep in memory reacted quickly.

She asked back curiously, "Also? Has Tao Ge'er found a study partner? Why haven't I heard that they went to the palace to pay their respects to the Crown Princess?"

Uh.

The prince touched his nose and said, "I plan to see how Lin teaches his children first, and then decide what kind of companion to find for Tao."

Ah!

That’s what I said!

If Lin dies after teaching for a month, can you still replace the tutors according to the teaching method of the next teacher?

Wang Xifeng's smile deepened: "He Ke is smart and has great ideas. It is better for her to choose a girl as a study partner. Not to mention me, even the Crown Princess would not dare to interfere."

In other words, she opposed any imposition of personal interests in He Ke's affairs, and she always followed her daughter's own wishes.

The prince's expression became more gentle: "Raising a girl is a laborious task. You have raised He Ke very well. You have worked hard for the past three years."

Wang Xifeng smiled, but there was a hint of melancholy between her brows: "She is already eight years old. In another five or six years, she will be tired of the adults. Then she will get married and leave her parents...

"I wish He Ke would never grow up."

As she spoke, her eyelids twitched and tears fell. She laughed at herself and said, "Am I really stupid for doing this?"

The prince's heart softened, and he tilted his head to think about marrying Ke - hiss! !

"How old is she? Why would she get married?! Don't even think about such unrealistic things!" The prince felt so uncomfortable that his hands itched and he wanted to hit someone.

Wang Xifeng wiped her tears and smiled, "I understand. The prince is not willing to let He Ke marry early."

"Well, let's talk about it again in ten years."

The prince thought that he would have ascended the throne by then anyway, and when he was looking for a son-in-law for Heke, he would pick a gentle and sensible one, similar to the son-in-law Yongning.

From this point on, the prince and Wang Xifeng started to talk about children: "He Ke and Tao Ge'er are both simple-minded and easy to think about others. When choosing a study partner, you have to be careful and don't let those who are good at pretending to be good fools.

"The orphan will personally keep an eye on Tao'er's study partner. As for He Ke, she listens to you more. You can keep an eye on her."

Wang Xifeng immediately agreed respectfully.

"Oh, you just said you wanted to meet your mother's family. Which one do you want to meet? Your aunt or your uncle?" The prince looked like he wanted to chat with her.

Wang Xifeng also said calmly and casually: "I want to see my aunt first. She has lived with my father for a long time, and I want to ask her about the situation in Jinling family."

"Didn't you get the letter?" The prince looked at her expression intentionally or unintentionally.

Wang Xifeng was immediately filled with emotion, her face full of coquettishness, but her words were somewhat coquettish: "My parents always treat me like a child, only reporting good news and not bad news.

"Knowing that I had entered the Eastern Palace, you only told me to serve you well.

"As for other things, don't tell me a word!"

The prince intercepted Wang Xifeng's letters home, but regretted it after reading only two of them.

As expected, what Yongning said was right. If he had been more gentle in the early years and subdued the eldest son of the Wang family, with the other party's scheming and carefulness, he would not have had such a hard time in the court as he does now.

The prince lowered his eyes. "He didn't say it because he was afraid that you would worry. Now that you have been released from the palace, you might as well write him a few more letters home. If you visit him more often, he will feel relieved and will tell you the truth."

"Yes, that's what the prince said."

Wang Xifeng smiled.

So, it has been three years and I still haven’t conquered her father.

His Royal Highness Prince Qin Guang is really short of capable people...

The meaning of her smile was ambiguous, and the prince found it very annoying.

"I have some official business to attend to. You can go back now."

Wang Xifeng immediately took her leave.

The prince watched her back as she walked out neatly and decisively, and then saw Qinghai come in and bow to her.

When Qinghai walked quickly to his side and the beauty's back disappeared at the palace gate, the prince said quietly, "Every time she left Lizheng Palace, did she never look back?"

Qinghai looked at the prince's profile, smiled knowingly, and whispered, "Not only did he not look back, he also walked away very fast!"

The prince came back to his senses and glared at him fiercely: "Is it snowing outside?"

"It's raining. It's pretty heavy." Qinghai couldn't help but blew a breath of hot air on his hands, then shouted for someone to bring in another charcoal basin, and also changed the prince into a sable cloak and thicker boots.

The prince went to handle state affairs on his own and no one mentioned it.

When Wang Xifeng returned to the East Hall, she called Xia Shouzhong to ask about the situation of the three families of Jia, Wang and Xue.

Xia Shouzhong now had a brief understanding of the matter. He only knew that Wang Ziteng had returned from Jiangnan on his own, and that Yu was too ill to move, so the eldest son Wang Yi stayed behind to take care of her.

Jia Zhu, the eldest son of the second branch of the Jia family, died of illness the year before last. Jia Wangshi was in a difficult situation and the Wang family did not have any suitable girls, so Jia She and Jia Zheng had no choice but to look around among their old friends' homes. In the end, they hired the younger sister of Xie Jing, the grandson of Marquis Dingcheng and the current guerrilla commander of the Beijing Camp, to be Jia Lian's wife to help Jia Wangshi take care of the household chores.

All we know is that Xie, probably because her brother was an official under Wang Ziteng, was not very close to the eldest branch of the Rongguo Mansion, and she was trying hard to curry favor with Jia Wang.

Now that Wang Ziteng has returned to Beijing, the problems that stood between the siblings three years ago, such as the death of Old Lady Chen and Wang Jialuan, have all vanished. In addition, the second wife of the Xie family frequently visits the Wang family and gets along well with Xue and Wang.

Today, the relationship between the four surnames has returned to its original close friendship.

"Aunt Xue has not left the Wang family, right?" Wang Xifeng confirmed.

Xia Shouzhong said: "No. There are no women in the Wang family's backyard. After your uncle returned to Beijing, although Xue Wang asked to move out, your uncle sincerely kept her.

"I heard that the Xue family's brother now listens to his cousin Wang Li's mediation in everything, and has made some progress in his studies. Xue Wangshi is naturally happy to see this.

"It's your cousin, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Xue Wang's family, who has been discussing with her mother about moving out of the Wang family these past two days. Mrs. Xue Wang is very hesitant."

Baochai?

She was quite sober the whole time.

Wang Xifeng smiled warmly: "That's good. This way I can meet them and talk to them about the situations of each family."

The next morning, Wang Xifeng went to Cheng'en Hall to pay her respects. After getting permission, she rushed over and presented the Crown Princess with the scented rouge that she and Princess Heke had made together.

Then he asked Ling to see his family before the New Year.

The Crown Princess nodded with a smile: "It's normal for people to miss their loved ones. Tomorrow is Laba Festival, just in time, ask your family to come over and eat porridge together."

Wang Xifeng was pleasantly surprised and gave two loads of compliments without asking for money. After being stared at like a fool by Nanny Weng and Tao Ge'er for half a cup of tea, she finally calmed down a bit and left with a smile.
