Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Jia Yuanchun was finally released from her limbs. After moving around for a while and circling back to health, she took the large broom as tall as a person handed to her by a palace servant and, under the servant's instructions, clumsily began to clean the yard.

She thought that Wang Xifeng would come up and say a few words to her, either mocking her, warning her, or trying to curry favor with her.

Unfortunately, Wang Xifeng only made it clear between her and Cheng'en Palace, then strode away without even looking back.

She also thought that the Crown Princess would wait until Wang Xifeng left and then send people to cause trouble for her, or humiliate her, or beat her, or deliberately spread some dirt so that she would never be able to clean it up.

However, except for the palace servant who was directing her work, among the many people coming and going in Cheng'en Palace, no one looked at her straight in the eye.

It was as if, in the eyes of Wang Xifeng, the Crown Princess, and all the servants in the Eastern Palace, she was completely insignificant and was just a fallen leaf that could be completely ignored.

Jia Yuanchun felt lost and upset, but she forced herself to keep a calm expression and cleaned the place with her head lowered and her eyes submissive.

In fact, the Crown Princess did pay attention to her once - she glanced at her a few times through the window.

Then he said to Kale, "This person is very patient and has a grudge against me. The more this is the case, the more we cannot let her make any mistakes here.

"Have someone look after her. Let her come and clean up every morning after the crown prince goes to court. She will only provide hot water, not meals. After she's done cleaning, send her to Yichun Palace for food and lodging.

"You go there in person today and tell her that I'm afraid that Brother Tao will come to embarrass her if he hears about it, and it will be bad if there is another disturbance. It's better to hide away."

Kai Lan hesitated: "Madam, are you really not going to punish her? This Jia is so unruly..."

The Crown Princess shook her head: "No. I'm injured now, I can't get angry or move. I'll take good care of myself and get better soon. Isn't that more important than those things?"

"If you can think so, it will be our blessing!" Gan Lan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He responded to her words with a bright smile and carefully asked the Crown Princess what she wanted to eat for lunch.

At the end of the afternoon, Jia Yuanchun, who was tired and hungry and felt like she was walking on cotton, was sent back.

After hearing what Gan Lan said, Wang Xifeng opened her eyes wide: "Ah? She wants to eat and live with me?"

Kale smiled and said, "There is no room in Cheng'en Palace."

Open your eyes and talk nonsense!

Cheng'en Palace is so big, and there are no other concubines. Tao Ge'er has moved out to study, and the people who followed him have moved to the front palace. How could there not be enough space for even a little Yuanchun to live there?

The Crown Princess simply doesn't want to get involved in this obviously hot potato.

Wang Xifeng could only take over angrily: "I think that apart from Tao Ge'er, the Crown Princess doesn't want to see Jia Shi hanging around in front of her.

"It just so happens that there are not many people here, so I can just let her stay in the empty room from last night!"

After thinking for a while, he sent Hongdou to look after it: "Look at that room, if there is anything missing, go to the inner courtyard and tell them, and quickly get it ready for her."

Hongdou had already become famous in the Eastern Palace because she had followed He Ke in angrily confronting the young master of the Mo family in the Daming Palace.

When Gan Lan heard that this task was assigned to her, she raised her eyebrows and laughed: "Liang Di is really thoughtful."

Go back and tell the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "This Wang Liang Di is so mischievous! The one who is best at teasing people in the East Palace is probably this little palace maid!"

"It's more than just tormenting!" Gan Lan curled her lips and whispered to the Crown Princess, "Qiao Lian from their place told me that the girl's heart and eyes are full of the Crown Prince!

"This Jia family dared to plot against the prince and caused you to get hurt. Hongdou has been irritated with hatred for a long time!

"Who knows what will come out this time!"

The Crown Princess's face changed: "A palace maid dares to covet the Crown Prince? Where did you hear that?"

Gan Lan then told the story of how Hong Dou had put on rouge and powder to see the prince, but was ignored by him. However, Qiao Lian and others saw through her little thoughts at a glance, and reported everything to the crown princess in secret.

The Crown Princess's face darkened, and she clenched her fists for a long time before she asked in a low voice, "Why does Wang Liang Di still keep such a person around? Doesn't she think that this person is... restless?"

"Wang Liang Di doesn't even try to gain favor herself..." Gan Lan muttered.

The Crown Princess suddenly realized.

yes……

In the eyes of outsiders, she was already a powerful concubine in the Eastern Palace, but she had not yet begun to receive favors...

She's not in a hurry.

The prince was not in a hurry either.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a deep affection between a man and a woman; it seems more like a boss's special reliance on his subordinate.

The Crown Princess lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Therefore, this Wang was not a concubine bestowed by His Majesty on the Crown Prince to serve him and give birth to offspring, but a female steward selected by the Crown Prince for his harem.

"Wang Liangdi has been assisting in the management of the affairs of the rear palace for the past month. Have there been any... complaints from the palace servants?" the Crown Princess asked in a low voice.

Gan Lan shook her head and said, "There weren't any mistakes or omissions. I even heard someone say that Wang Liang Di seemed to be a little flustered in the first three days, but afterwards she seemed to be able to handle things with ease.

"The inner quarters are the ones who bully the weak and fear the strong, and I thought it was necessary to compete with Wang Liangdi.

"Who knew he would be as obedient as a rabbit!"

The Crown Princess curled her lips and said, "Xia Shouzhong's years as the Imperial Household Minister were not in vain. The Imperial Household Department will not make things difficult for her."

Speaking of this, Gan Lan couldn't help but say sourly: "The prince is partial.

"With a eunuch like this who has spent half his life in the Eastern Palace as the head, and with the help of aunts like Meng Fanshuang who has been in the Daming Palace all her life, even if Wang Liangdi is a wooden man, she can still manage the harem well!

"Unlike us..."

There are only servants from the Mo family inside and outside. How can they be of any use in the palace?

The Crown Princess glanced at her.

Kale swallowed the rest of his words.

"I'm tired, help me lie down." The Crown Princess lay back down and waved her hand for everyone to go down.

In fact, the prince is not partial.

When she had just taken over the palace, the prince specially sent Nanny Duan to his side to be the managing nanny.

I felt that Nanny Duan was too nosy, so I went to great lengths to drive her out.

From then on, the prince no longer interfered in the people and affairs in the backyard.

At that time, she just thought that this was a sign of the prince's respect for her, and she was very complacent for a while.

But now it seems, how do we know if this is not because of disappointment?

What's more, Gan Lan didn't know, but she knew it very well: the prince had rescued Xia Shouzhong from the hands of Wang Xifeng's relative, the eldest master of the Jia family!

Therefore, she was very clear in her mind that when the prince asked Xia Shouzhong to serve Wang Xifeng three years ago, he had no good intentions from the beginning.

It was only because Wang Xifeng had her own abilities that she was able to subdue Eunuch Xia.

The Crown Princess felt a little hot in her heart and couldn't lie still, so she turned over slowly and laboriously, and then suddenly thought of something -

If that's the case, then isn't Jia Yuanchun Xia Shouzhong's real enemy? !

Well, if we send Jia back to Yichun Palace, there won’t be any trouble, right?

Thinking of this, the Crown Princess suddenly felt relaxed, so she moved slightly to make herself more comfortable, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
