Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"Madam Wang, Madam Wang!"

Just when it was time for a nap, He Ke ran into Wang Xifeng's inner chamber shouting and yelling.

Wang Xifeng had just taken off her coat and got into bed, with the tent still in Ru'er's hand. He Ke quickly took off his cloak, untied his skirt, and threw off his boots, then got directly into Wang Xifeng's bed.

The master and servant looked at her swift movements in surprise and couldn't help laughing.

Ruer received Wang Xifeng's gaze, smiled, helped them tuck in the tent, and walked out.

"Madam Wang, I saw Miss Lin. Her name is Daiyu!" He Ke couldn't wait to lie on the pillow and describe her to Wang Xifeng. "She speaks softly and gently! I have to get very close to her every time to hear her clearly.

"Her eyebrows are a little light, thin, fuzzy, and curved... I told her that if daddy starts rewarding me with makeup products, I will ask for eyebrow pencil specifically for her!

"Her eyes are the most beautiful, they are watery, not the round ones, but rather long and thin...ah, I say she looks so kind to me, the shape of her eyes is similar to that of my grandfather, my father, me, and Brother Tao! Wow! She looks a bit like my family!"

He Ke sat up excitedly, and while fixing her braids with a smile, he continued, "She is still young, and her height has not grown yet, it only reaches my collarbone.

"She stumbled a bit while walking and I helped her up. Wow, her waist is so soft!

"Madam Wang, if she were to learn to dance, she would definitely be better than anyone I've ever seen!"

Wang Xifeng had already sat up with her, with her lower body buried in the quilt. She laughed when she heard what she said and patted her head: "If we dance the sword dance with Ke Ruo, we will definitely be better than anyone else!"

He Ke's face lit up as he snuggled into Wang Xifeng's arms: "In the eyes of Queen Wang, I am the best child, right?"

"That's not right." Wang Xifeng patted her head and teased, "Have you forgotten what I said again? There is always a teacher among three people. There are many people in this world who are better than you.

"It's just that, in the heart of Queen Wang, you are never worse than anyone else."

Better than everyone, and no worse than anyone.

They seem to mean the same thing, but the meanings behind them are very different.

He Ke hugged Wang Xifeng's waist, his nose ached, but he was too embarrassed to cry, so he whined and acted coquettishly: "Then I want to learn to dance!"

"Isn't your father trying to find a teacher for you? I heard that the one is a noble lady from the royal family. I think with her status, she should be able to put herself in your shoes and think for you.

"Once it's settled, tell the teacher quietly and ask her to ask your father to find a dance teacher..."

Wang Xifeng deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then He Ke was so anxious that he held her and shook her hard. Wang Xifeng whispered in her ear, "If you like Miss Lin, then ask your father to let her be your study partner.

"Just tell her that Sister Lin is too weak and should move more. But she is shy, so you have to accompany her. Ask that clan member to hire a dance teacher for you..."

He Ke was extremely happy, nodding his head repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice: "This is good! This is good!"

So later, Lin Daiyu not only "liked to dance", but also liked to "eat snacks", "travel around the capital in men's clothing", and so on.

At that moment, Wang Xifeng pushed He Ke down and told her to go to sleep quickly. He Ke couldn't help but whisper while lying there: "Actually, Wang Xifeng, you don't have to worry about her identity as the grandson of Rongguo Mansion.

"I heard the Crown Princess chatting with Madam Jia, and it seemed like they were having some unpleasantness after moving out of Rongguo Mansion.

"Tomorrow I'll send a message to Sister Lin and ask her to come and play. You can come and meet her too!

"If I had chosen her as my study partner, you would have seen her sooner or later..."

When He Ke tilted his head, Wang Xifeng had fallen asleep again.

Alas, Empress Wang is good at everything, especially her sleeping skills. She can fall asleep as soon as she touches the pillow.

He Ke also closed his eyes, and fell asleep within three or five breaths.

After returning to the Lin Mansion, Jia Min and Lin Daiyu were both exhausted. After changing their clothes, washing their faces and hands, they quickly took a nap.

It was not until noon that Jia Min woke up and took out the two maintenance prescriptions written for her by the imperial physician of the Eastern Palace, and asked someone to get the medicine with a smile on her face.

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, he heard that the imperial physician had examined both her and her daughter. He couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that the Crown Princess actually invited an imperial physician for you. She is so kind!"

"It wasn't the Crown Princess who asked. It was Princess He Ke who held our girl's hand and felt that she seemed to have a deficiency. That's why she asked the Crown Princess to send the imperial physician to take a look at me as well."

Jia Min smiled and hugged her daughter, "I am benefiting from my daughter's help today!"

Lin Ruhai's eyebrows twitched slightly.

This Princess Heke had directly mentioned from the beginning that she wanted to bring her daughter into the palace, and she was so close to her daughter when she saw her, and she was eager to arrange for an imperial physician to be hired for her daughter.

"Yu'er, if Princess He Ke wants you to be her study partner, would you be willing?" Lin Ruhai asked Lin Daiyu in a gentle voice.

Lin Daiyu first glanced at her mother, and seeing that she was surprised and worried, she pursed her lips and said, "I am willing. Princess Heke treated her daughter very warmly and kindly.

"But I'm often sick, and I'm afraid that it will delay the princess's studies. Will that be bad for Daddy?"

Lin Ruhai touched his daughter's head lovingly and smiled, "No. The Crown Princess has invited the imperial physician to treat you, how can you still be weak and sickly?

"It's just that Daddy was an official in another place before, wandering around. You were young and followed him, and you couldn't adapt to the local climate, so you are weak.

"Now that we have settled down, I think we will not leave for the next ten or eight years. It will be a good opportunity for you to take care of your health."

Jia Min was surprised: "Master, are you no longer seeking an external post?"

"Teaching the crown prince and the eldest son is not a one-day job. I have a lot of knowledge in my belly. Prince Duan is only four years old. I think it will be no problem to teach him for ten years."

Lin Ruhai was proud of himself. He suddenly glanced at Jia Min and added, "As long as there are no complications, Madam can enjoy the company of your mother-in-law for ten years."

Ten years, maybe I can see my mother looking back...

Jia Min was filled with emotion. She could never have expected that her life would have such twists and turns.

"Daddy, but," Lin Daiyu said with a bitter face, "but the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician is so bitter! I can't drink it, then I can't regulate my body, what should I do?"

Speaking of bitter medicine, Jia Min couldn't help but look embarrassed: "Maybe good medicine tastes bitter."

苦？

Among the five flavors, bitter can clear away internal heat and is suitable for treating excessive internal heat.

But my wife and daughter are both physically weak, and don’t have internal heat…

"Where's the prescription? Bring it to me." Lin Ruhai looked calm, even with a hint of a smile, "I'll take it to the East Palace when I get a chance, and ask the imperial physician to get some herbs that are less bitter."

That night, Lin Ruhai found an excuse to tie up all the members of Jia Min's family. The next morning, when the market opened, the eunuchs sent by the palace took the whole family and sold them to the Western Regions.

Jia Min woke up in the morning and found that the maid was missing. When she asked, she found out that she had been sold. She was shocked and felt ashamed and angry at the same time.

Just as she was about to argue with Lin Ruhai, she saw her daughter holding the medicine bowl, smelling it, tasting it, and looking at her in confusion: "Mother, why is this medicine not bitter?"

Jia Min was stunned and sweating profusely!
