Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

The expressions of the three siblings from the second house were somewhat subtle.

Everyone knew that the old master relied on the eldest son's wife and favored Wang Xifeng. However, they only began to understand the extent of his favoritism today.

Wang Jialuan said sourly: "It's not bad for the family temple to be in the eldest son's family. But elder sister, you will get married sooner or later, why did you get it but not given to elder brother Ren?"

"My brother is an expert in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling." Wang Xifeng opened her mouth without hiding anything. "If we give it to him, I'm not sure if our family temple will be named Wang tomorrow!"

Then he smiled and said to the two brothers Wang Yi and Wang Li, "My two cousins, don't be greedy! Tomorrow, before I die, if one of you has a promising son, I will pass this contract to him!

"Don't worry, I guarantee it won't fall into the hands of outsiders!"

The two brothers had no choice but to respond with a smile and quickly changed the subject.

When they entered the Jile Temple, the monks had already prepared four clean rooms for each of the four siblings. They also prepared hot water for them to bathe and wash their hands.

As for the Taoist temple in the main hall, it was also prepared overnight, waiting for the arrival of the four young masters and young ladies before ringing bells and beating drums to open it.

By the time it was three quarters past the hour of Mao, the auspicious time had arrived, and the sound of chanting from the Jile Temple could be heard drifting far away.

At the same time, new news about Aunt Meng was also delivered to the palace.

None of the nobles in the palace are stupid.

The Shangyi Bureau found out that Miss Wang actually followed her cousins ​​to the ancestral temple to fast and pray, and after comparing it with Aunt Meng's letter from the past few days, they hurriedly reported it to Nanny Hai, the Queen's trusted nanny.

Madam Hai only glanced at it once before she sneered, "The Wang family is really courting death!"

He waved away the Shangyi Bureau and went in to report.

The current queen was promoted to queen because of the crown prince, and her previous title was Consort Fu. She has three children, the crown prince, Princess Yongning, and Prince Zhongsu, and is often praised by His Majesty for being blessed.

Today it happened that the Crown Prince and Princess Yongning were both accompanying the Queen in the palace, and the three of them, mother and children, were chatting and laughing.

The queen was born in the Mo family of Tai County, the ancestral home of the Mo family in the world. Because she was from a prominent family, although she was dignified, she was not considered a beauty.

Of the three children born, only the youngest son, Prince Zhongsu, looked like his mother, tall and mighty, but with an ordinary appearance.

The Crown Prince and Princess Yongning both resemble their father, with beautiful eyes and handsome and elegant appearance.

But now Princess Yongning is already a mother of two children, and is pregnant with a third. Her pregnancy is already obvious, so her face is as red as a full moon and she looks exceptionally plump.

When Nanny Hai came over and said this, the queen's face darkened.

But Wang Xifeng was chosen by His Majesty himself for the Crown Prince, so the Queen refused to say more. She just said she knew and asked Nanny Hai to leave.

Princess Yongning frowned, held her belly with both hands, called Madam Hai and asked, "I still remember the old man of the Wang family, he was a well-behaved man.

"Back then, my father asked him to assist elder brother Xian Yizhong, so he even showed up at other princes' birthday banquets but was not there.

"How come the children and grandchildren of today are so reckless and reckless? Is there any hidden reason?"

Matron Hai shook her head: "I don't know."

Queen Mo looked away coldly and said nothing.

The prince, on the other hand, lowered his head and straightened his robe, his expression indifferent and his eyes cold, and he said quietly: "What could be the hidden secret?

"His eldest son is loyal and filial, but unfortunately the second son, Wang Ziteng, who is in charge now, is a fence-sitter.

“If it weren’t for his powerful means, and his ability to take over the Jia family’s influence in the army, my father and I would not continue to use the Wang family.

"Now I am still living in fear as a minister. Asking him to send my niece to the East Palace reminds me all the time that his family was the one who deposed the crown prince first?!

"Neither he nor his snobbish and greedy mother has the guts to do that.

"I think tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Wang Chenghui will be seriously ill and ask to be exempted from the election."

Princess Yongning hesitated for a moment and shook her head gently: "Not necessarily."

Queen Mo finally couldn't help it and scolded, "Why are you wasting your time thinking about these things instead of taking good care of your pregnancy?

"She's nothing more than a concubine in your brother's backyard. Is it worth thinking so much about her?

"Your pregnancy is not looking good!

"Why don't you just enjoy some peace and quiet?"

Then he blamed Madam Hai, "This is the Eastern Palace's business. Why are you gossiping about it in front of Yongning and me? Next time, go tell the Crown Princess about this kind of thing!"

The prince felt something was wrong when he heard this, so he stood up quickly, bowed and crossed his arms, "It's all for my son. I'm sorry to have caused trouble to my mother."

"What does it have to do with you? It's all because your father didn't know people well and brought a troublemaker into your backyard!"

Queen Mo complained, pulled the prince to sit down again, and said unhappily, "I originally said that I would choose a wife for your brother this time, but he only remembered it after I had chosen one.

"Your brother is already eighteen years old. If you delay any further, when will I be able to hold my grandson?!"

The prince remained silent.

Yongning immediately laughed sweetly: "Oh my, so the Crown Princess didn't give you a grandson? It's just that you couldn't snatch it from your father!

"At worst, you still have grandchildren! Those two in our family talk about the cheese in your palace every day!"

Speaking of her grandson, Queen Mo immediately beamed with joy and ordered Madam Hai, "Go and ask the kitchen to cook it!

“Give it to Yongning when she leaves later!

"——I can let anyone suffer, but not my little grandson!"

Happy family life.

After lunch, the Crown Prince and Princess Yongning left Chuxiu Palace. The Crown Prince frowned slightly and asked Princess Yongning, "You just said maybe not?"

Princess Yongning held her belly with her hand, sighed softly, and whispered, "Brother, do you still remember Sister Yongmu?"

The prince was slightly startled: "Princess Yongmu? The old uncle's youngest daughter? What does this have to do with her?"

"Sister Yongmu married into the state-guarding Niu family. One of the nieces-in-law of the Niu family is surnamed Chen, and is a cousin of the old lady of the Wang family."

Princess Yongning couldn't help but shook her head when she said this, but she whispered to the Crown Prince what the Chen family members heard Wang Jialuan crying and cursing at Wang's house, and then said:

“Brother, you see, you, Wang Chenghui, are not a foolish, filial, ignorant and submissive person.

"I'm afraid the Wang family said they wouldn't listen to her, so they set up a trap."

He sighed again, "In fact, if we had put in a little more effort back then to make the eldest branch of the Wang family willingly side with my brother, then it would have been ten times easier to deal with the situation.

"Brother, don't listen to the petty words of those people around mother. Think more about why father suddenly ordered a person who was loyal to brother Xianyi to enter your backyard."

The prince was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He tightened his cheeks, took two steps back, and bowed solemnly to his sister:

"Thanks for the tip, sister!"

Yongning smiled and moved aside, "Good brother, you and I are brothers and sisters. If you are well, I will be well too.

"As your sister, I hope that you will be sharp-eyed and have good luck in everything. In the future, you will work hard to govern the country and bring peace to the people, and become a saintly king whose name will be passed down through the ages!

"Good brother, that is my sister's honor!"
