Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Nanny Ji took a look at Wang Xifeng's expression and told her everything that had happened in the palace.

When He Ke arrived at the Daming Palace, Emperor Shengping had already quietly taken his personal guards and took Tao Ge'er for horseback riding.

He Ke thanked Queen Mo respectfully.

She was a smart child and naturally knew that in the eyes of Queen Mo, she was not even as good as a close palace maid. At most, she was the sister of "Brother Tao" and the daughter of the "Crown Prince".

"Wang is really good at this, and she has raised He Ke very well." Queen Mo looked her up and down, and asked with a smile, "I heard that you also learned martial arts from her?

"I wonder if I have the honor to see the princess's kung fu skills?"

He Ke was a little embarrassed.

Because Queen Mo likes women who are bright, beautiful and dignified the most, she specially wore a brightly colored long skirt today, which is not really suitable for her to move her hands and feet.

"In reply to the Queen, my granddaughter's clothes are not suitable today. I am afraid that they will be torn and violate the rules." He Ke knelt down and apologized.

Queen Mo smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line. "Isn't this easy? I still have Yongning's childhood clothes here. I packed them out the other day and was planning to give them to you. Can't you just put them on?"

He Ke immediately breathed a sigh of relief, raised his face and smiled brightly: "Then my granddaughter will make a fool of herself in front of the Royal Grandmother!"

Queen Mo nodded repeatedly in agreement with a kind smile.

Nanny Ji was standing by and shuddered slightly when she saw her smile.

When Princess Yongning was as old as Heke, Queen Mo was only a concubine, not even a consort. So the old clothes left behind at that time were mostly plain colors and simple materials.

Although it doesn't look outstanding, it is actually a good outfit for practicing martial arts.

He Ke was very happy.

After all, Wang Xifeng was generous. She had made clothes for her over the past three years, all of which were either silk or satin, which always made her feel distressed and as if she couldn't do anything she wanted.

He happily changed into a light pink Hu costume, strode out, and stood in front of the hall, performing a set of boxing exercises solemnly and seriously.

Queen Mo naturally couldn't understand.

She smiled and looked at the female guard next to her: "Guard Duan, what do you think of our kung fu and Princess Ke's?"

"It's enough to keep fit." The female guard named Duan had a rigid expression.

It means it's just so-so.

Queen Mo smiled with satisfaction and said, "A princess of the royal family, the eldest daughter of the crown prince, are you really going to let her become a knight? It would be great if she can strengthen her body.

"Come quickly, help the princess change her clothes and wash her hands, then dress up again."

He Ke lowered his eyes and left with a smile.

But she was not happy.

Queen Wang said that this was considered a virgin skill! Why do you say that it was only able to strengthen the body?

After entering the inner room, the palace maids brought up Princess Yongning's old clothes for her to wear, but He Ke smiled and declined: "I'm a little sweaty from this round of boxing, so I'd better wear my own clothes first.

"I would feel really bad if my aunt's clothes were stained with the smell of sweat."

The palace maids repeatedly told them not to worry, but He Ke insisted that it would not work.

In the end, Nanny Ji couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to help He Ke put on her own clothes.

When they were about to leave, Queen Mo's expression was a little strange: "Why aren't you wearing Yongning's clothes?"

He Ke smiled and explained the reason, then said innocently, "After the fifteenth day of tomorrow, I will go to live in Aunt Yongning's house to study. When the time comes, I will wear the clothes given to me by the Imperial Grandmother and show them to Aunt!"

"Oh, then she should blame me. I gave her things to others without permission!" Queen Mo's smile was a little cold.

No matter how eloquent He Ke was, she was just a young girl who had just entered her 90s. How could she cope with Queen Mo's attitude that was sometimes close and sometimes distant, sometimes hot and sometimes cold?

At that moment, he only stammered: "Aunt is not that kind of person..."

Queen Mo sneered: "Is that the intention of this little princess?"

He Ke knelt down without saying a word and said, "He Ke is ashamed. I only cared about cherishing my aunt's clothes, but failed the Queen's kindness. It's all He Ke's fault!

"He Ke, go change your clothes now!"

Queen Mo's expression eased: "Yes. That's right."

He Ke hurried into the inner room and called to Madam Ji: "Help me change my clothes!"

Nanny Ji took the opportunity to move closer and lowered her voice: "Princess, you still shouldn't change it."

"If you don't change it, you will be accused of being unfilial. Queen Wang said that a wise man will not suffer a loss in front of him."

He Ke also replied in a low voice, and hurriedly changed into the jade-colored jacket and scarlet skirt that the palace maids had already prepared, and then put on a dark blue long bodice, and went out to meet the queen.

Queen Mo only took one look and choked up with tears, sniffed, and let He Ke sit down beside her: "You've been fighting and messing with clothes, you must be tired, right?

"Hurry up and bring hot drinks and snacks to the princess!"

Calling people over and over again.

The palace maid brought a plate of two-color water chestnut cake, a plate of mung bean cake and a cup of milk tea.

He Ke thanked the queen and ate a piece of water chestnut cake in small bites.

While they were eating, someone outside came to report: "The uncle of the emperor has sent his twelfth brother back to the capital to ask for an audience on the second day of the New Year, to kowtow to the Empress and wish her a happy new year!"

Queen Mo was pleasantly surprised: "Oh! Our Brother Sheng is here? Let him in!"

He Ke quickly put down the remaining water chestnut cake and stood up to avoid it.

Queen Mo smiled and stopped her: "You are a princess, and he is just a commoner. Why are you avoiding him? Just sit down and eat your food!"

"My nephew is thirteen years old this year and is very naughty. I have taken care of him since he was young, so I missed him very much when he left the capital with my family.

"I'll meet him, say a few words, and then send him back."

As she was speaking, a tall and heroic young man strode in, lifted his robe, knelt down, addressed her as the queen, and paid homage to her.

Queen Mo was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, her eyes were full of stars.

Seeing this, He Ke lowered his head, reached out and took another piece of water chestnut cake and started eating.

Over there, the great-aunt and her nephews were chatting affectionately, while He Ke was concentrating on eating cakes and drinking tea here.

But she remembered the advice of Wang Xifeng and Nanny Ji to eat less cold food on cold days, so she didn't touch the plate of mung bean cake, but ate the whole plate of water chestnut cake cleanly.

After eating, he grabbed his handkerchief and slowly wiped his fingers, but still kept his head down and said nothing.

Nanny Ji was standing next to her and saw Queen Mo looking at her frequently, but He Ke didn't notice it at all because he kept his head down.

Finally, Queen Mo forced a smile and sent Mo Xingsheng away.

When he looked at He Ke again, there was a lot more resentment on his face.

——Speaking of this, Nanny Ji sighed: "The Queen suddenly changed her attitude and pointed at the snacks and said that the princess was picky about food.

"The princess was smart enough to know she shouldn't talk back, so she knelt down and admitted her fault without saying another word.

"The Queen scolded for two quarters of an hour, saying that the princess was arrogant, that she didn't cherish food, and that she was picky about food and clothing. She even said that the princess couldn't even 'not take anything'. I'm afraid that the tricks at the New Year's Eve banquet the other day were all taught to deceive Your Majesty.

"The princess is just a child. She has never seen such a scene or heard such a crime before. Naturally, she cried out of grievance."

Wang Xifeng was furious!
