Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

King Jing stroked his long white beard, sat beside the crown prince, looked He Ke up and down for a long while, and was full of praise. He then said to the crown prince seriously: "Such a good child, you must choose a good son-in-law for her in the future, and you must not settle for anything less!"

The prince smiled and nodded: "Yes! Nephew will remember what the emperor said."

Emperor Shengping was still smiling, and he lowered his head and asked Tao Ge'er: "Do you think what my sister said makes sense?"

Tao Geer looked up at He Ke, his face full of dependence: "Of course! Sister is the best!"

"You two siblings have such a good relationship that even the Emperor is jealous. Otherwise, if you get along well with the Emperor, he will play with you every day in the future. You don't need a sister anymore, right?"

Emperor Shengping deliberately coaxed him.

Tao Ge'er looked up at Emperor Shengping, then glanced at He Ke hesitantly.

Prince Kang was standing below, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of mockery in his eyes.

It’s no use teaching my daughter well.

You have the ability to raise the eldest son, who is valued more than the apple of your eye by that stupid Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace, into such a sensible and reasonable person!

"Grandfather Emperor, don't do to others what you don't want done to you. If you want me to be nice to you, I will ignore my sister. Then you can only be nice to me, and you can't care about Granduncle Jing and Granduncle Kang, and, yes, Grandmother, too!"

Tao Ge'er, like a little adult, persuaded Emperor Shengping earnestly, "You definitely can't do it, right? They are your brothers and sisters, and your wife. If you leave them, you will definitely feel very uncomfortable and painful!

"That's the same for me. I grew up with my sister. She fed me, dressed me, combed my hair, taught me to read, and played with me. The relationship between my sister and me is as deep as the relationship between you and your brother's wife!

"Besides, my sister is also your granddaughter. She is so kind and filial! Can't you be good to both of us?"

Having said that, he hesitated again, glanced at He Ke, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, is Grandpa Huang joking with me? Grandpa Huang has always loved us very much. Didn't he say the day before yesterday that we are 'all flesh and blood'?"

He Ke smiled and was about to nod, but then he looked at Emperor Shengping.

Emperor Shengping laughed, hugged Tao Ge'er and kissed his chubby, white and tender face: "You are really the clever and good grandson of Grandpa Emperor!

"Grandpa Huang is just kidding you!

"You are six years old this year, and your sister is ten. If your father has another brother or sister, they will be much younger than you two.

"Then you two will be the closest siblings. I will protect you, and you should also protect me. Okay?"

Tao Ge'er turned away embarrassedly and buried his face in Emperor Shengping's arms: "Okay."

Emperor Shengping looked at the royal family members sitting below with a smile: "See? Filial piety, brotherly love, and putting oneself in others' shoes, this six-year-old child can already do more than many people.

"If the prince hadn't set an example and taught him carefully, would he have been able to learn to this extent?

"I'm afraid he has long relied on the fact that he is the only legitimate son of the Eastern Palace to suppress his illegitimate sister into the dust!

"Your Highness has taught his son well, and our Heavenly Dynasty will have successors.

"I am very comforted and relieved!"

So, this kind of statement can always shut you up, right? !

The clan members finally calmed down and stopped trying to cause trouble.

King Kang also wiped the sweat off his face, lowered his head to drink, and refused to say another word.

Queen Mo, on the other hand, wanted to say something, but she turned her head to glance at Prince Chungsuk, and by the way, she saw Princess Chungsuk, who had applied a thick layer of powder to make her face look pale, and had a cumbersome set of ruby ​​head ornaments on her head.

He took another look at Tao Ge'er who was being fed a spoonful of egg custard by the emperor himself, and forced a smile: "He Ke, take me downstairs and let your grandfather have a good meal."

Emperor Shengping said coldly without even looking up, "You don't want to enjoy your grandchildren, but I do. Queen, you talked a little too much today. Are you drunk like your youngest son? Should I give you a bowl of sobering soup?"

Queen Mo lowered her eyes, her face grim: "Yes, I thank your majesty."

Wang Xifeng still looked at her coldly, reached out for the wine glass, and drank it all.

After all, he was old, and there had been no baby cries in the Daming Palace for many years, so Emperor Shengping was a little unfamiliar with feeding the child.

He Ke wanted to help, but a female official calmly brought the dishes and bowls to him, and then conveniently took a towel to help wipe Tao Ge'er's mouth.

This female official was none other than Jia Yuanchun.

When Wang Xifeng saw her head pop up, she raised her eyebrows, sat up a little straighter, and straightened her back.

At this moment, Emperor Shengping looked up and saw the person who helped him. He suddenly remembered something and smiled. He turned back to look at Empress Mo and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to reunite the sisters? Why did you keep Miss Jia by your side as a servant?"

"I've seen it." Jia Yuanchun lowered her eyes gently.

At first glance, her expression was exactly the same as Queen Mo's just now.

Emperor Shengping glanced at her in a trance, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he smiled: "Oh? So soon?"

He turned his head and searched among the crowd for a while, and finally saw Wang Xifeng, and chuckled: "Wang Chenghui sat a little far away, I can't see him.

"Come on, come to the front."

The main course is here.

So, this is the real reason why the four of us were called to the Daming Palace, right?

Wang Xifeng stood up gracefully, neatly but elegantly, and walked slowly to the foot of the high platform, to a position level with the crown prince's desk, and knelt on both knees, paying homage: "I am the Crown Princess Wang of the Eastern Palace, and I kowtow to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

Emperor Shengping chuckled and said, "Get up. You were all enjoying the New Year in the East Palace, eating and drinking. I'm afraid you were having a good time.

"We called you here in the middle of the night, but you can only sit in the corner. I'm sure you'd be too restless to sit there given your lively personality, right?"

Wang Xifeng stood up, bowed her head and knelt down, but she never said a direct answer: "I dare not."

"Forget it. I called you out to reward you for your merit." Emperor Shengping said, glaring at the prince, "The prince was so busy with the front court that he forgot about the backyard.

“It’s not easy for the Crown Princess to be so self-centered.

"You have raised a wonderful granddaughter for me, and this granddaughter has taken very good care of her brother.

"Wang, you have made great contributions, I have to reward you."

Wang Xifeng knelt down hurriedly and said: "I just take care of the princess's food, daily life, and study, which are all arranged by the prince and the princess, and taught by the female officials appointed by the queen. How dare I take credit for it?

"Not to mention that the young prince was personally taught by the Crown Princess, who never left him for a single day or night. The fact that the young prince is now sensible and values ​​family affection is all due to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess' teaching by example.

"I have done nothing of any kind! Your Majesty, please take back the reward!"

Emperor Shengping pretended to be angry and said: "I said you have made contributions, then you have made contributions!

"It is their duty and responsibility to teach their own children!

"What's more, when I was selecting the concubines, I told you that if you were educated, you could be a concubine!

"I already know everything about you accompanying the princess to study in the past three years.

"You are so strict in carrying out the imperial decree!

"Then I will fulfill my promise and promote you to be the Consort of the Eastern Palace!"
