Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Ordinarily, the prince should take a good bath.

But because he was drunk, he lay down and had his hair washed thoroughly, and then he came out after a thorough rinse.

The eunuch carefully dried her long hair, and the imperial physician who was ordered to stay behind to provide massage came up and massaged her from the waist and back all the way to the head with all his heart and soul.

The prince sighed comfortably and whispered, "I've had a headache for a long time, and it feels better now."

The imperial physician replied softly, "Your Highness drank on an empty stomach, and although he ate something afterwards, he couldn't hold it back. You should still drink some hangover soup and eat a few mouthfuls of porridge."

The prince hummed.

Just as he was talking about this, Wang Xifeng walked in from outside the hall, carrying a food box, went up to the high platform, and silently placed a soup and a porridge.

Turning back, she saw Qinghai hurrying over from the side hall, and realized that he had also gone to bathe, so she waved and quietly called him over.

She stretched out her slender jade fingers, pointed in the direction of the prince, and asked him in a low voice: "You only drank wine, but didn't eat?"

"I ate it. But Prince Su was here, so I had to force-feed half a pot of wine on an empty stomach before I could eat. That's why I felt uncomfortable and didn't eat much." Qing Hai also replied in a low voice.

Wang Xifeng's eyebrows were knitted into knots: "It's already this late, curfew has already been called, and Prince Su has just returned?"

"Prince Su didn't leave. He went to live in the Queen's palace today." Qinghai said.

Wang Xifeng immediately sneered and changed the subject: "Do you have to get up early tomorrow? Can you sleep a little longer? Even a steely person can't stand being so busy and tired all the time!"

Qinghai nodded quickly and said, "Your Majesty also said so today, asking the Crown Prince to go there after lunch tomorrow."

Wang Xifeng's eyebrows relaxed: "That's good."

After a pause, he waved his hand and said, "Don't tell anyone else. Just let Your Highness sleep in tomorrow. I won't tell the Queen Mother when I go back."

Qinghai nodded repeatedly, his face full of gratitude, and bowed deeply to the ground.

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at him and turned away.

At this time, the prince signaled the imperial physician to stop and sat up: "Qing Hai."

The imperial physician took his leave quietly.

Qinghai came over happily with a smile on his face, combed the prince's long hair, and then helped him sit behind the dining table.

Wang Xifeng bowed first, without much greeting, and directly served him a bowl of soup: "Chicken skin and sour bamboo shoots soup, for your highness to sober up. Your highness, please see if it suits your taste."

The prince tried a sip, hummed, and after drinking a few gulps, he felt that the annoyance that had been choking his chest had finally subsided by half.

He hummed again and handed the bowl back to Wang Xifeng.

Ah Feng understood and served another bowl.

The prince drank three bowls in a row, took a long breath, leaned back, gently slid his palm across his heart, closed his eyes and leaned on the couch, and asked in a leisurely voice: "Is there any news in the East Palace today?"

While asking the question, he pointed in the direction of Wang Xifeng.

Qinghai immediately moved a thick mat to Wang Xifeng.

"There is good news!" Wang Xifeng sat down with a smile and described vividly, "Zhou Fengyi opened her eyes yesterday! No one knew whether she was really well or not, so we didn't dare to report it to you and the Crown Princess yesterday.

"I went to see him again this morning, and found that Zhou Fengyi could already recognize people!

"I immediately asked the imperial physician to see him, and he said that Zhou Fengyi had already passed the critical period, and now he only needed to rest for another three or two months, and he would be well again!

"I have already informed the Crown Princess, and she is very happy. I wanted to send someone to Daming Palace to tell you, but I was afraid that you might be in front of the Queen, so I gave up."

The prince opened his eyes: "Zhou Fengyi, are you really awake?"

"Yes. She just looked at me with a confused face and asked me who I was." Wang Xifeng smiled and covered her lips. "When they entered the palace, I had already been sealed, so she had never seen me."

The prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Where are you going to move her to?"

Wang Xifeng was puzzled: "We are going to move into the Daming Palace soon, and she can't move now, so she should just stay in the Buddhist temple to recuperate. Why move her?"

After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Your Highness, have you also heard that rumor?"

The prince raised an eyebrow: "What rumor?"

Wang Xifeng then told both the rumors that had appeared out of nowhere, namely, "Shi Zhaoxun is a demon with special powers" and "Mei Liangyuan is pregnant with a goddess" which she had had spread.

The prince's brows were cold and he said, "Wang Liang Di, you are so brave."

Wang Xifeng quickly stood up and knelt down: "I acknowledge my guilt."

"Since you know your crime, try to make amends yourself." The prince rubbed his head tiredly and pointed to the green glutinous rice porridge on the table.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly got up and served him some porridge.

The prince ate a bowl of porridge slowly and asked, "Anything else?"

"Oh, this afternoon, Wu Liangyuan wants to change her aunt..." Wang Xifeng recounted the afternoon's trick and said with a smile, "I took them to the Crown Princess.

"The Crown Princess is really kind and compassionate, and very easy to talk to. She immediately made a wise decision and let Aunt Mu follow Li Chenghui and Aunt Wanqi follow Wu Liangyuan.

"The Crown Princess also said that a palace maid and an aunt who were sent to the inner court to deliver spring clothes were both very good, so they were sent to Cheng'en Palace to replace Aunt Wanqi and Miss Zhuqing.

"I have sent a message to the inner court to find those two people, teach them the rules and regulations, and then send them to Cheng'en Palace."

The prince lowered his eyes and drank the porridge, taking him half a day to finish a bowl.

Wang Xifeng pretended not to see the blue veins on his forehead and smiled, "These are a few big ones. There is also a small one -"

As he spoke, he took the prince's empty bowl, filled it up again, and handed it back with both hands.

"Sister Mei took a nap today and slept for an hour straight!"

The prince's expression improved, and he raised his lips, took the porridge, and said with a smile: "Madame Duan, do you let her do what she wants?"

"That's right!" Wang Xifeng laughed. "I heard about it and rushed over to persuade her to be more moderate and regular in her diet and sleep, otherwise she would be disappointed if she gave birth to a lazy girl tomorrow.

"As a result, Madam Duan opened her mouth and scolded me!

"She also said that He Ke is so beautiful now, why are you not willing to let me be her mother? If Ming Er really gives birth to her own son, will she not love He Ke anymore?

"——Why didn't anyone tell me that when Madam Duan started to argue, it really went straight to the person's lungs?"

As he said this, he looked angrily.

The prince finally laughed out loud: "Don't even mention my Lizheng Palace. Even in the Chengwang Mansion back then, who among the people from top to bottom had not been scolded by the nanny?

"Now that Mammy is willing to scold you, it's because she treats you as her own. Don't be ungrateful!"

"I can't recognize this anyway, so I'll leave it to Sister Mei!" Wang Xifeng put her hands in front of her face and moved them away repeatedly.

The two laughed together a few times.

Wang Xifeng then slightly suppressed her smile and said, "However, Sister Mei is lazy by nature. After she became pregnant, she relaxed both physically and mentally. It is hard to guarantee that she will not overdo it.

"The prince said last time that he would appoint a skilled doctor to look after her. I beg you to invite a doctor who can control Nanny Duan.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that Madam will secretly disobey the doctor's advice and indulge Sister Mei in her laziness.

"I've heard people say that this state of staying indoors and lying down is not conducive to childbirth when I was at home!"
