Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Jianzhong stood there, talking about this and that, his little mouth was so eloquent that it was frightening. He not only conveyed the prince's love and care, but also told everything that happened in the palace on the first day of the new year.

Wang Xifeng did not cooperate with him in showing various expressions of surprise. She was just surprised that the prince actually asked her to summon her relatives from her mother's family today: "So urgent?"

"Uh. Isn't today the second day of the Chinese New Year? According to folk customs, today is the day to pick up the son-in-law and the daughter should go back to her parents' home to meet her family.

"Yesterday, all the palaces met their relatives, except Liangdi who was in charge of the back palace and didn't pay any attention. The prince said, why not just go with the flow!" Jianzhong smiled.

Wang Xifeng looked at him admiringly: "Qinghai is very good at talking, and Changying is not weak either, but compared to a little thing like you, they are nothing!"

Pointing at Jing Li and Xia Shouzhong, "Even if the two of you were tied together, you might not be able to defeat this kid."

His eyes widened, "Our Fuguier should practice more, maybe he can catch up."

Everyone joined in the fun and chuckled.

"Since it is the prince's grace, I thank you in advance. Our Wang family does not have a mistress at home now. I am afraid that the two aunts will get together today, and it is not certain whether they are at the Wang family.

"I'll ask someone to check it out first. If they're all at home, they must be busy with something, so that's fine.

"If they were all at her mother's house, I would invite my two aunts and my cousin to come here and sit with us." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Jianzhong paused, agreed with a smile, bowed and went out.

Wang Xifeng then looked at Xia Shouzhong and said, "Old Xia, go ahead. Go to the Wang family. If they are all here, invite them all. If only my aunt is here, forget it."

Xia Shouzhong immediately understood her intention and agreed to go back and change his clothes.

Wangfu.

The rank of the governor of the Beijing camp was still there, and the Wang family was still crowded with people. In fact, because the Wang family did not need to pick up a son-in-law or send off a daughter this year, they simply arranged the New Year's banquet on this day.

All the idle people from the homes of the old friends came over to eat and drink, and the street was bustling with people.

But if you look closely, you will find that Wang Ziteng, who always has a wide range of friends, was unable to invite any clan members this time.

Jia Wangshi didn't come in the first place.

But when I heard that many people from my brother's side were coming to the banquet, I had to force myself to cheer up, get dressed, and plan to take a walk and leave.

It was Grandmother Jia who reminded her: "Last time when the East Palace of Yiqiu Palace was unsealed, I only saw your sister. I heard that everyone in the East Palace had their parents' families there yesterday, except for the East Palace.

"How do you know that the East Palace will not miss them and summon your family today? By then, your sister will definitely bring the children with her. If you don't bring any of them, she will go to play with the children and openly leave you aside.

“Who do you expect to hug Dongdian’s legs and cry, begging her to help your daughter?

"Yourself?!"

Jia Wangshi thought about it for a while and considered the girls in her family, and finally decided to take her youngest son Baoyu with her.

When Baoyu heard that his elder sister Yuanchun had made a mistake and was locked up, and would be punished by the Eastern Palace in the future, and that Sister Feng, who married into the Eastern Palace, could help rescue his elder sister, he immediately patted his chest and promised that he would definitely let Sister Feng do it!

When Jia Wangshi brought Baoyu to Wang's house, Xia Shouzhong had not arrived yet.

Mrs. Jia Wang first let Baoyu go into the inner house to meet Mrs. Xue Wang and Xue Baochai, while she herself sat in the small flower hall at the second gate and asked someone to call Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng hurried over, frowned and asked when they met, "I sent invitations to invite the princes of the royal family to the banquet before the New Year, and several of them gave me confirmation to come.

"Why did you say you couldn't come when I sent someone to invite you yesterday? I just tried to test the Prince of the Southern King, what did he say? Let me ask you."

Jia Wangshi couldn't hold back her tears and stammered about what happened at the New Year's Eve banquet. She cried, "Yuanchun was just careless, but the East Palace was so aggressive...

"Even if she has any intentions, it must be approved by the Queen!"

Wang Ziteng glanced at the closed doors and windows with concern, then raised his hand to stop Jia Wangshi from crying and whispered, "It is dangerous to enter the palace, we have already discussed this.

"Your Majesty values ​​the Crown Prince, and because of the Crown Prince, the current Queen was appointed. Therefore, Yuanchun thinks that the Queen can rule over the Crown Prince, or even the Emperor. This is foolish!

"The East Palace is aggressive? If something like this happened and the East Palace didn't act aggressively, then the royal family and the ministers in the court would tear him to pieces!"

Jia Wangshi stopped crying, and for the first time she felt a sense of reliance on her second brother: "Then, what should we do next?"

Wang Ziteng was silent for a long time before he said, "Estrangement does not mean separation of kinship. Yuanchun can't push everything onto the Queen right now. She can only wait."

"Our old lady said that maybe Feng will meet me and my sister today and ask me to bring Baoyu to the palace and ask Baoyu to beg her. Since she has been promoted to Liang Di, if she can lend a hand, she will definitely be able to save Yuanchun."

Jia Wang finally told her brother everything.

Wang Ziteng's face changed drastically: "You said she was promoted to Liang Di?! How could I not know!?"

"The emperor said it himself at the New Year's Eve banquet the other day, the crown prince also acknowledged it, and the crown princess did not object, so it can be considered a promotion." Jia Wangshi disagreed, "During the New Year, the Secretariat is on vacation, and the edict must be officially issued after the New Year."

He looked at Wang Ziteng again, with some contempt in his eyes, "Second brother, do you not even have a spy in the palace now? There were so many royal family members the night before last, but no one told you?"

Wang Ziteng's eyes turned cold: "I have been away from Beijing for three years, and I have just started to connect with people I should and shouldn't.

"Sister, instead of looking down on me, you should think about how to resolve the trouble caused by your good daughter!

“No wonder no one came to tell me!

"My dear niece caused such a terrible disaster. It's lucky that your family and my family were not treated as the ten evils of 'disrespect' and punished together!

"Who dares to touch me at this time?!"

Jia Wang lowered her head and started crying again, feeling aggrieved.

Wang Ziteng said impatiently: "There are so many guests outside, I have to go out. Big sister, please go in too, don't keep me waiting for too long."

"Second brother, I was just about to ask you, it's New Year's Day and Feng girl hasn't sent a single message to the Jia family. I wonder if she has sent any message to you, second brother?" Jia Wangshi stopped crying and pulled Wang Ziteng to ask about the business.

Wang Ziteng pulled back his sleeves coldly and said, "My younger sister has been to the palace before. If you want to know the details, you may go in and ask her."

The two were arguing when someone outside suddenly came to report: "Duke Wang Liangdi of the Eastern Palace, send a message. If the two aunts come back to visit their parents, please come to the palace for a gathering."

Jia Wangshi was overjoyed: "We, old lady, really expected it!" She hurried back to look for Xue Wangshi.

Wang Ziteng hurried out to greet the eunuch who came to deliver the message.

When I arrived at the grand hall, I saw Xia Shouzhong, whom I hadn't seen for three years.

Wang Ziteng stepped forward, bowed, and smiled, "Eunuch Xia, long time no see."
