Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Xifeng stood obediently beside the parrot stand with a bitter face, and the prince also picked up the parrot and placed it on her head. While the prince was putting it on the parrot, Wang Xifeng threatened the parrot fiercely in a low voice:

"If you hurt me by scratching me, I'll pluck my hair and cook it into soup!"

The prince looked at her fierce yet pitiful expression and couldn't help wanting to laugh, but he suppressed his smile and slowly walked back to the couch and sat down.

At this time, Ru'er brought in the lotus heart tea. When she saw this scene, she was so shocked that she froze for three breaths. Then she placed the tea next to the prince and said softly, "Your Highness, please have some tea."

The prince hummed and waved his hand for her to leave.

Ruer had no choice but to lower her head and go out, but she couldn't help but look back at Wang Xifeng with concern.

Wang Xifeng's neck was stiff, and she didn't dare to show too much expression, but she waved her hand gently at her side. Only then did Ru'er feel relieved and leave.

The prince watched all this exchange. After Ru'er left, he put down the tea bowl and hummed, "Come on, let's talk business."

Wang Xifeng looked at the prince seriously and said, "Yes."

"I went to the palace today. My father said that the Eastern Palace had few offspring and he was extremely worried. So he will hold a beauty pageant right after the New Year. The Eastern Palace will have newcomers in early February."

As the prince spoke, he glanced at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng looked calm.

The prince's heart was slightly moved, but he still followed his own train of thought and continued, "There is also He Ke. I have already asked His Majesty for an imperial decree to confer the title of Princess of Le'an on Zhai Zhao, asking her to stay in the Eastern Palace to teach He Ke.

"In this case, it will not be appropriate for He Ke to live with you anymore.

"So I want He Ke to move to Xichiyuan with Princess Le'an."

Wang Xifeng listened attentively and was about to nod when the parrot screamed and almost scratched her scalp!

"Well, Your Majesty, this is as it should be! He Ke will be ten years old next year, and he should live alone. Besides, the county lady will take care of him, so I feel more at ease."

The prince nodded and continued, "The accommodation is almost full now. If there are many new people appointed by the emperor, we may have to squeeze together.

"Zhou Fengyi has been ill for three years, but has not shown any improvement. I plan to move her to the Buddhist temple to live temporarily, hoping that the Buddha will bless her and she will recover soon.

"In this case, Wu Liangyuan will be the only one left in Yichun Palace. I wonder if you can move there?"

Wang Xifeng opened her eyes wide: "I don't want to be separated from Sister Mei!"

"Then we have to move Geng Chenghui over there," the prince said, "You three can't stay together in one hall forever, with no one able to get in or out, right?"

Wang Xifeng's mouth puffed up, and after a moment, she groaned, "Then I'd better go over. Wu Liangyuan is sharp-tongued, and Sister Geng is timid. I'm afraid they won't get along."

She endured it again and again, but still couldn't help but say, "Actually, Wu Liangyuan and I won't get along well! Your Highness!"

The prince lowered his eyes, took a sip of the lotus heart tea, and said in a leisurely voice: "I went to Daming Palace today and saw your cousin Jia.

"The Queen Mother joked with me, saying that since there are so few people in the East Palace, why not let Jia move in to keep you and your sisters company.

"If you feel that you can't get along with Wu Liangyuan, I will ask the Queen to let Jia go over and get along with her!"

Wang Xifeng was shocked!

No wonder the prince insisted on seeing her and talking to her today.

I have tried my best to create a charming atmosphere, but he remains unmoved and has not even touched me with a finger. It turns out it is because of this matter!

Without time to think about it, Wang Xifeng strode forward and said, "I'll go! I'll go! Don't let her come to the East Palace!"

The parrot was caught off guard and hurriedly spread its wings and flew away, but it still ended up ruffling Wang Xifeng's smooth, clean long hair.

The prince finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wang Xifeng didn't care about these things. She raised her hand and pushed her hair back randomly. She knelt down solemnly in front of the prince and bowed her head and said:

“Neither cousin Jia nor I are outstanding people. We have been favored by Your Majesty. One of us entered the Eastern Palace to serve the Crown Prince, and the other entered the Daming Palace to serve the Empress. This is all due to the good deeds of our ancestors.

"I am not a jealous person. Cousin Jia and I grew up together and we both wish the best for each other.

"But the East Palace..."

Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and lowered her head to continue, "The concubines in the Eastern Palace are just like those in the previous dynasty, with civil officials and military generals, noble relatives, prominent families in the world, and tributes from all directions. What matters is that everything is balanced.

"If my cousin and I were in the back hall of the East Palace, which has less than ten people, we would have occupied two seats...

"I am afraid that people outside will make random guesses... which will damage the reputation of the Crown Prince..."

The prince stared at the young girl kneeling on the ground.

She is only sixteen years old.

She could even say that.

Who else in the harem could be so bold as to say these words in front of me?

Crown Princess?

Wu Liangyuan?

Mei Ruoqin?

Nanny Duan was right, she really was the perfect candidate.

The prince slowly and solemnly extended a hand.

Wang Xifeng looked up in surprise at the prince, and with doubt she also reached out her hand and placed it on the hand with distinct joints and as cold and white as white marble.

The prince pinched the soft hand, gently pulled her up and said, "Wang, Cheng Hui is indeed wronged by you."

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips slightly.

“Although Wu Liangyuan is the granddaughter of Lady Kangle, she has not learned even a little from the old lady’s broad-mindedness. She is only arrogant and domineering. With such a temperament, if she is not tempered by a sharpening stone, I think she will never learn to be good.

"My father gave her to me for my own good.

“So, even if she did something wrong, I cannot punish her personally, and I cannot let her confront the Crown Princess directly, as it would be too embarrassing.

"You've worked hard and put pressure on her for me."

The prince had never spoken to someone so frankly before.

Wang Chenghui, you are the first one.

Wang Xifeng was not a fool. Naturally, she knew as soon as she heard what the prince was thinking. She was shocked all over and her fear was clearly shown on her face!

Is this your plan to officially start using yourself as a knife?

Did you plan to become a discarded child sooner or later? !

"Your Highness, you are too kind! I am your concubine. I am yours in life and yours in death. If you give me any order, I will obey it without any hesitation.

"You don't have to... you don't have to explain the reason to me..." Wang Xifeng's eyes were red, "I can't bear it... With my background, how can I be worthy of your tolerance and consideration?"

As he spoke, he sobbed softly.

The prince smiled gently, reached out his hand, and touched her head: "Silly girl, don't think too much

“You are a capable person, don’t underestimate yourself.

“Today in the palace, Father and Mother praised the two children for being well brought up.

"Father even praised you, saying that you and He Ke had been together day and night for three years, and He Ke had grown from a timid and quiet child to the lively, generous and self-respecting person he is today. You have made an indelible contribution."

The prince gently moved his hand from Wang Xifeng's head to her hand, "Father also asked me when I plan to promote you."
