Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Li Zhengdian rewarded many good things, including a small box of two hundred taels of silver.

He Ke was no longer wronged after entering the palace. Instead, Emperor Shengping gave her some compensation intentionally or unintentionally. For example, he not only taught her how to ride a horse, but also personally picked out a docile pony for her as a reward.

I had a great time with Ke that day. When I came back, my face was flushed with excitement:

"Mom! I can ride a horse now! I have a horse! It's a little red horse!"

Wang Xifeng caught her daughter in her arms, grinning from ear to ear: "Really? Tell me, how did it happen?!"

He Ke stopped holding her arm and walked happily into the inner room. He asked someone to help him change his clothes while he enthusiastically told her everything he had seen and heard in the palace.

Wang Xifeng drank tea, hummed, and instructed the maid to give He Ke a hot bath.

"...Brother Tao didn't dare to ride at first, even with the Emperor! When he saw me riding alone, he finally got a bit of courage!

"Grandpa Emperor told me to protect my brother for the rest of my life!" He Ke poked his head out from behind the screen, his face full of pride, "Mother, what can I do?"

Wang Xifeng paused as she held the tea bowl.

Protect your brother for the rest of your life?!

Ha ha.

Just by hanging a carrot, you want your silly daughter to be a shield for others all her life? !

"Our He Ke is indeed very capable!" Wang Xifeng smiled, "However, He Ke will also get married when he grows up, and will also have his own fiefdom.

"Do you still have to stay by Brother Tao'er's side for the rest of your life?

"So, capable He Ke, your royal grandfather wants you, as the eldest sister, to fulfill your responsibility of supervising Tao Ge'er's studies!

"This study is not just about reading, it also includes practicing martial arts to strengthen the body.

"The Holy Ancestor, the Late Emperor, and your Imperial Grandfather were all talented men of both civil and military affairs who could rule the country on horseback and govern the government on foot!

"Your father is just too busy now. I remember that he practiced the Boy's Kung Fu with Master Wu in the past!

"Brother Tao is already six years old. To be honest, it's a bit late for him to learn martial arts now. As his sister, you should teach and supervise him well so that he can keep himself healthy. Isn't that better?"

He Ke's movements slowed down, and he finally calmed down. He thought for a while, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a while before he smiled again: "Sure enough, I am young and can't think as well as my mother."

"That's right." Wang Xifeng smiled, "Otherwise, if Your Majesty gave me to you as your mother, would it be just for show?"

He Ke retracted her head and stood there with her face as stiff as a wooden man, allowing Hongdou to put her clothes on.

Hongdou looked at her expression with a twinkling look in her eyes: "Princess, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." He Ke lowered his eyes, "You can go. You protected me in Daming Palace today, I remember your contribution."

The hot water is ready outside, so I go take a bath with Ke.

Wang Xifeng called Hongdou over and asked, "Did anything happen to you?"

"They bumped into each other." Hongdou Bamboo Tube Talks, "The nephew of the Queen, the young man from the Mo family, came into the palace with his two friends, 'ran into' our princess, and loudly mentioned how great the Li family was.

"I felt angry when I heard the contemptuous and slanderous words.

“But the princess has already been registered under the name of Concubine Liang, and the relationship between her and the Li family will also depend on the attitude of the Li family.

"So I kept silent and just listened to the princess's orders."

Wang Xifeng nodded approvingly: "Yes. Continue."

"Because we were silent, they felt bored and stopped talking. They galloped past our carriage.

"But the Mo family boy was not happy, and deliberately threw out the handkerchief in his arms. The handkerchief flew over the eyes of the horse driving our carriage, startling the horse and almost causing the princess to fall.

"I was so angry that I asked the princess whether she should punish me or not, but the Mo family boy came back and said that we stepped on his handkerchief and broke it, and asked the princess to pay for it with her own handkerchief.

"The princess asked me to go out and deal with it. Her original words were: Don't be embarrassed, and don't be arrogant."

Hongdou was still angry and almost wanted to put her hands on her waist and curse in the street, but she didn't dare to do so in front of Wang Xifeng. She put one hand on her waist and then put it down. After putting it down, she couldn't help but put it back.

"I ignored the other words of the young man from the Mo family and only asked him one question: Whose nobleman said that you dared to ride a horse through the palace road? What is his rank that dared to see the princess without bowing?

"The young man from the Mo family was embarrassed and angry, so he brought up the Empress.

"The servant said, if that's the case, then please ask the Queen to come and talk to His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Let's see whether the princess should take her own handkerchief to apologize to him, or he should kneel down and apologize to the princess.

“The Mo family boy got scared and ran away after saying a few words.

"For this, the princess even rewarded me with a pearl flower!"

Hongdou happily showed the pearl flower to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Did you tell the people around His Majesty about this matter? Did you go to the Empress to apologize?"

At this point, Hongdou felt a little guilty: "Later, it was Jingli who first went to talk to the eunuch next to Dai Neixiang about this matter, and then went to the Queen Mother..."

He hurriedly explained, "The princess said that I was too delicate and couldn't stand being hit... The princess asked Jing Li to go..."

Wang Xifeng's expression changed: "Jing Li was beaten?"

"No, no!" Hongdou waved her hands. "The Queen was entertaining the young man from the Mo family and his two friends at that time. She just said 'I know' and asked Jing Li to come back."

"Who are those two?" Wang Xifeng frowned.

Hongdou thought for a moment and said, "I heard that he is the son of a duke and the son of a general."

The Duke’s Mansion, the General’s Mansion.

It sounds familiar.

Wang Xifeng glanced at Hongdou, smiled, rewarded her with a handful of golden melon seeds, and let her leave.

Seeing that He Ke was almost done with his bath, Wang Xifeng did not call Jing Li but coughed instead.

Wu Jin slowly walked out from the corner.

Wang Xifeng looked at it and cleared her throat again.

Wu Jin understood, turned around and jumped onto a tree, then jumped onto the wall, climbed over the wall and entered the Daming Palace.

He Ke once again crawled into Wang Xifeng's bed.

This time, both mother and daughter did not say anything. They just stared at the patterns of flowers, birds, and insects on the bed curtains.

"Mother..." After a long while, He Ke asked in a daze, "Why are you the only one who likes me? Why don't they treat me as a human being?"

Wang Xifeng held her daughter in her arms and whispered, "That's because they treat everyone as if they were not human beings. You are no exception.

"Otherwise... with your father's protection and love for you, if they treat your father as a human being, they will not bully you.

“So, it’s nothing.

"Just don't treat them as human beings."
