Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

The group hurried out of the temple gate. In the morning light, an inconspicuous black lacquered flat-head carriage was parked under a tree next to the temple gate.

However, the coachman holding the whip and the four guards standing like iron towers behind the carriage all indicate that the owner of the carriage is extraordinary.

A guard stepped forward and confirmed the identity of Wang Yi, who was leading the group, before stepping aside and saying, "Our master is waiting for your reply in the carriage."

Wang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward to bow: "I am Wang Yi, the son of the governor of the Jingying camp and the captain of the Jingxi camp. I pay my respects to the crown prince."

The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a cool and handsome face; it was the prince.

"Well. Who are the remaining two?" The prince asked gently.

Wang Li then bowed in a serious manner and said, "I am the son of the governor of the Jingying camp, and the junior officer of the Jingxi camp, Wang Li, and I pay my respects to the crown prince."

The magistrate leaned forward eagerly and said, "I, Yang Zhong, the magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture, come to pay my respects to the Crown Prince."

"Yes. Good." The prince nodded and said, "I will accompany the Crown Princess to the Da Ci'en Temple next door to hold a funeral for her late mother.

"I just came out for a walk early in the morning. Why do I hear so much noise here so early in the morning? What happened?"

Wang Yi cupped his hands and was about to answer, but Wang Li pulled his sleeve and bowed again respectfully:

"Your Highness, these two temples are next to each other, and there are two more nunneries half a mile to the south.

“Many people rush to burn incense in the early morning.

“The events in my family temple…are slightly complicated.

"If the prince does not mind, I wonder if we would have the honor to invite the prince to move to the temple and sit for a while. Let us report in detail."

Yup!

Why don't you invite the prince inside to talk? Are you going to talk about those rubbish on the street? !

Wang Yi was annoyed for a moment, then nodded quickly: "That's right!"

The prince hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay. Since we have just met, I will listen to it."

Wang Yi was overjoyed and busy making arrangements.

Wang Li followed behind the prince and became silent again.

When the prince arrived at the quiet and spacious meditation room and sat down, Wang Li calmly asked his servant to bring up the bamboo leaf tea he had brought from home:

"The temple is simple and crude. This is the bamboo leaf tea that I have been carrying with me since I was young to calm my mind. Your Highness, please make do with it and rinse your mouth with it."

The prince then looked at him intently, took a sip of the tea, and praised: "It is indeed fragrant, with a slight bitter taste of bamboo leaves, which is very refreshing."

I asked why there was such commotion in the temple.

The magistrate had been anxious for a long time. Seeing this, he stepped forward, pushed aside Wang Yi who was about to speak, and told him everything he knew.

Wang Yi lowered his head in shame.

The prince's face also darkened and looked very ugly.

Wang Li also sighed and murmured softly: "The most annoying thing is that this Jile Temple is still under the name of my eldest sister...

"If this matter gets out, it might even ruin my eldest sister's reputation...

"How good is this..."

When Wang Yi heard this, he was shocked and a little anxious. He quickly pulled Wang Li and took a half step forward, saying:

"When my grandfather built this temple a few years ago, it was natural that it would be registered under the name of the eldest branch of the family. Later, I heard that on the day when the ancestral tablets were invited to enter the temple, my aunt found out that she was pregnant.

"When my eldest sister was born, she was so cute and fair that my grandfather felt that she was blessed by our ancestors and would have good fortune in the future, so he put the land deeds in her name.

"But my eldest sister is just a little girl, how can she take care of so many important matters of the family temple?

"Everything here has nothing to do with my elder sister, so please understand, my lord!"

The prince heard him speak like this, and saw that he was so anxious that sweat was coming out of his forehead, his expression relaxed slightly, and he nodded: "Okay, I understand.

"You are a very responsible brother, you love and care for your younger siblings, and you are a good child."

After a pause, he changed the subject, "However, since this temple is under the name of your sister and she is in the temple, why not ask her to come over and discuss how to resolve this matter."

Wang Yi's face suddenly lit up with joy!

Sister Feng is as beautiful as a flower. The prince will definitely love her whenever he sees her! With just a wave of the prince's hand, nothing can be covered up! ?

"This is my oversight! The prince is here, so he should have let my sister come out to meet him!" Wang Yi agreed immediately.

Wang Li lowered his eyes and looked at the ground without saying a word.

But at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise outside the back window of the Zen room!

The guards of the East Palace suddenly widened their eyes, and with a clang, they drew their swords! Two of them stayed beside the prince, while the other two jumped out through the front door and the back window!

The one who went out from the back window caught a glimpse of a corner of a jade-colored dress fluttering hurriedly from the corner of the wall.

Eh? Female relatives?!

Could it be the Wang Chenghui we just mentioned?

In the blink of an eye, I saw several piles of tiles piled up under the back window, and one of them fell down.

I guess he was stepping on the tiles to peek at the prince's handsome face, and then he heard that he was going to be summoned, so he ran away in a panic?

The guard had a mischievous smile on his face.

Fearing that someone would see him, he quickly put it away, went around the front door, called his companions and winked at them.

He entered the meditation room, strode up to the prince, and reported in a low voice in his ear.

The prince's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he glanced at the guard who was obviously a little excited, and said to everyone:

"It was a wild cat that collapsed the tiles outside the back wall. They are making a fuss, so don't be alarmed."

Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked his servant to invite Wang Xifeng.

In the courtyard of the two sisters, Wang Jialuan had already run all the way back. She did not go back to her own room, but went straight to the bathroom where Wang Xifeng was. She did not even knock on the door and just rushed in!

Wang Xifeng was sitting on the couch whispering to Ping'er. She was startled to see Ping'er come in with disheveled hair, red face and tears in her eyes. "Luanjie, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Jialuan bit her lip, took two steps forward, made up her mind, and knelt down on her knees with a bang!

Wang Xifeng was shocked and hurriedly ordered Ping'er and Wang Jialuan's maids, "Get out! Guard the door! Don't let anyone get close!"

The two maids hurriedly followed the order and went out.

Wang Jialuan then suppressed her voice and burst into tears: "Big sister, save me!"

"Tell me what it is, otherwise how can I help you?" Wang Xifeng looked anxious and pulled her up.

Wang Jialuan sobbed and told the truth: "I went... and listened for a while... They were in the meditation room... Then I accidentally slipped and stepped on the tiles...

"I heard the four guards even drew their swords! My dear sister, they will definitely chase after me!

"I frightened the prince, I'm dead!

"My dear sister, if I am questioned, I am afraid you will also be blamed in front of the prince!

"Good sister, can you just say that it wasn't me just now, it was you who wanted to take a look at the prince's appearance, so you..."

Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed with coldness, but she burst into laughter. She held her still trembling hand with her backhand and whispered:

"Silly sister! What a great opportunity this is!

"Don't you want to enter the palace too?

"You are only eight years old, what are you afraid of? It's just the curiosity of a child. You want to see what the prince looks like.

"This way, I can show my face in front of the prince again, and it will be a good reason for us to get to know each other.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and you ran away?!

"Fortunately, they want to invite me over. I won't go. You can go in my place and apologize to the prince and clear things up. How about that?"
