Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

The prince only heard about how Queen Mo treated He Ke when he woke up the next day.

"Why didn't you report it last night?" The prince's face was gloomy.

Qinghai shrank his neck and looked at Nanny Duan carefully.

Madam Duan sighed softly, "I just want you to have a good sleep. There are things to do in the palace today. If I had told you last night, you probably wouldn't have been able to sleep well all night."

The prince was silent for a long time, and ordered Qinghai: "Please invite Wang Liangdi and He Ke to have breakfast with me."

Qinghai agreed and ran away.

The prince looked up at Madam Duan and asked, "Is it not appropriate for me to attack the Mo family now?"

This question made Nanny Duan hesitate.

The prince glanced at her and smiled bitterly.

A man is strong if he has no desires.

Nanny Duan also knew that her father wanted to abdicate, so she wanted to play it safe and wait until she took over the Daming Palace before doing these things to eliminate dissidents.

He was also hesitant.

Yongning's suggestion was that he must never accept the abdication and must let his father stay on the throne at all costs.

However, this would put him in too many constraints.

With the disaster of the deposed crown prince and the fight for the throne among several princes in the past, as long as he is the crown prince and not the emperor, the people below will wait and see and dare not completely surrender to him.

He can't do anything, and his father doesn't have the energy to do anything, so this blank period is left to the group of sinister villains in the undercurrent!

He was not reconciled.

The prince closed his eyes.

Therefore, I am afraid that I cannot get angry about this matter.

Not only that, he might even stand on Queen Mo's side and criticize and scold He Ke a little...

When I think of my daughter's miserable life...

She had only lived a comfortable life for three years, and that was only possible because she was confined in that small palace.

The prince felt heartbroken.

He was reluctant to give up.

And Wang. She was always smooth in dealing with other matters, avoiding them as far as possible, and even when she was asked to seal the palace, she never said a word, and even lived a very comfortable life.

But once it comes to He Ke, she is like a lioness with her tail burned, and she will explode immediately!

After a night, she must have heard about what happened in Daming Palace.

——At the New Year's Eve banquet, Queen Mo mentioned He Ke several times with a look of contempt, which already made this guy's eyes full of murderous intent!

This time, He Ke was really scolded by Queen Mo and cried. He returned to the palace in silence all the way.

I'm afraid that Wang has already prepared thousands of harsh words, waiting for the next time she sees Queen Mo... or herself...

He can't afford it.

The prince covered his eyes with his hands.

so tired.

Is it true that being a crown prince or an emperor always makes one so exhausted, so exhausted, so torn, so caught in a dilemma, so... alone...

"Your Highness, it's still early. If you are tired, you can lie down for a while." Nanny Duan looked at him with pity.

The prince covered his eyes and shook his head: "It's time to get up. The mother and daughter's practice is almost over now. If I dawdle any longer, they will have finished their breakfast and I'm afraid they won't be able to refuse to come."

After saying that, he straightened his chest and raised his arms to cheer himself up, then threw off the quilt and got out of bed.

After washing up, breakfast was brought over and slowly laid out on a large table.

He also took a book and sat at the top seat to read.

After a while, Wang Xifeng, holding He Ke's hand, walked into the Lizheng Hall, talking and laughing with Qinghai in a low voice.

"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Greetings to Daddy."

The prince put down the book and looked at the calm mother and daughter in front of him with mixed feelings: "Don't be so polite, come and sit down and eat."

"I will serve the prince and the princess at their meals." Wang Xifeng politely declined the offer of "sit."

The prince waved his hand and said, "I will go to the palace in an hour. My father is not feeling well this year, but he is unwilling to cancel the Lantern Festival. I have asked a few ministers to go to the palace to persuade him. If he fails, we will discuss what to do about this Lantern Festival...

"Come on, sit down and have a good meal. I still have something to say to you two."

Wang Xifeng looked at the prince's face carefully, with a trace of heartache and sympathy on her face: "Then I have overstepped my authority."

As he spoke, he asked He Ke to sit next to the Crown Prince, and he sat next to He Ke himself. While he ate and drank, he also had to take care of the diet of the Crown Prince and his daughter.

Although it was breakfast, it was winter, so everyone subconsciously ate a few more bites to keep warm.

A quarter of an hour later, the three of them finished eating and rinsed their mouths and washed their hands.

"He Ke, is there nothing you like to eat on the table today? I see you only use two or three spoons of each dish and then stop taking it." The prince said in a pleasant tone.

He Ke stood up, lowered his eyes and answered respectfully: "Yesterday in Daming Palace, the Queen Mother taught my daughter Wu Gu Huo. My daughter is ashamed that she has not learned the etiquette of dining well.

"So from now on, you must change your bad habits and be a dignified and elegant girl."

The prince was speechless, so he looked at Wang Xifeng: "What do you say?"

"I think the Queen and the Princess are both right." Wang Xifeng said with a faint expression.

The prince sighed softly, beckoned He Ke to his side, and said softly, "You are still young, and you don't know how to hide what you like or dislike. There is no need to hide in front of your relatives.

“But when you grow up, you have to learn to slowly hide some of your likes and dislikes.

"That's because at that time, you won't just be surrounded by your relatives, but also by outsiders, people who don't like your father and your mother, and even people who have long wanted to plot against you.

"If you reveal your likes and dislikes to this kind of person, wouldn't that bring disaster upon yourself?"

He Ke listened and nodded deeply: "Yes, my daughter understands."

"That was the situation yesterday. Although the Queen is a relative, the people from the Mohist School who went in to talk to her are outsiders to you.

“In front of outsiders, you must not only act like a princess of the royal family, but also behave like a lady from a wealthy family, and even have the aloof pride of your father’s eldest daughter.

"What you like to eat, what you don't like to eat, who you like, who you don't like, who you are willing to pay attention to, who you are unwilling to pay attention to - you shouldn't let them see clearly.

"What's more, the people below follow what the superiors like.

"If a member of our royal family were to openly show that they love something, the common people would probably follow suit, and then paper would become expensive and prices would become chaotic, which would not be good."

The prince said gently, "It's her business if the queen loses her temper.

“How you behaved yesterday is your business.

"What Daddy wants to tell you is that the Queen is our elder and we cannot disobey her. If you have been wronged, Daddy can only make it up to you secretly.

"But you really shouldn't have ignored the Queen's guests and let them know that you like to eat water chestnut cakes. Daddy will punish you too.

"In this way, one reward and one punishment, no reward and no punishment. Daddy will just have breakfast with you -

"Can I talk to Ke about this?"

He Ke smiled happily upon hearing this, walked down, and saluted the Crown Prince neatly: "Daughter understands, thank you for your teachings, father! Don't worry, father, daughter will not bear a grudge against the Royal Grandmother."

"Good girl, be good." The prince reached out and pulled her up. "Go back and play first. Daddy will talk to your Concubine Liangdi for a few more words."

He Ke nodded happily, skipped out of the hall, took Ruer's hand, and returned to Yi Qiu Palace first.

The prince looked at Wang Xifeng and his smile disappeared.

Because Wang Xifeng's face still had that indifferent expression, without a trace of smile.
