Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"Before... before Li Shuren and He Ke were born, she was in good spirits and went out for a walk every day. But when the Crown Princess was pregnant with Tao Ge'er, her pregnancy was not very good and she stayed in bed for three or four months.

“I think it depends on one’s physique.

"I have told my father that I have asked the gynecologist Dr. Kong from the Imperial Hospital to come and look after Mei. The old doctor has caught a cold these past two days and said that he will come to the East Palace to guard it in five days.

"When the time comes, you can ask Dr. Kong about this and have him tell Madam Duan, and I think everything will be fine."

When it came to Mei Ruoqin's pregnancy, the prince was extremely patient.

Wang Xifeng nodded repeatedly and felt relieved.

The prince looked at her and drank the porridge in his bowl in a few mouthfuls. He handed the bowl over again, indicating that more food was needed. He smiled and said, "At your young age, you are more cautious and careful than someone who has given birth."

“Your Highness also knows that my parents have taken good care of me since I was young, and I have been taught everything from food, clothing, shelter, transportation, speech and behavior.

"Although I suffered misfortunes later and lived alone for several years, and became somewhat cynical, I still know clearly what it means to be considered a relative.

"Since I entered the Eastern Palace, Sister Mei and Sister Geng have been taking care of me, just like real sisters.

"Now that she is pregnant, to me and Sister Geng, she is like our own child.

"That's why I'm so concerned about it."

As Wang Xifeng spoke, she filled the bowl of porridge and passed it over. She saw that the prince's eyebrows were raised, and it was obvious that he had some other opinions he wanted to express.

She responded and immediately smiled again: "What's more, this should be the first child born after the prince entered the Daming Palace, bringing a good omen of good fortune!

"Since I have received the salary of a concubine, I will naturally do my best to protect this child and repay His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness!"

The prince looked relieved. He lowered his head, drank the porridge, and put down the bowl and spoon.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng knew that he didn't want to eat anymore, so she quickly signaled to Qinghai and Jianzhong who were walking away.

Everyone moved forward, some needed to clear the table, some needed to serve the guests.

Only Wang Xifeng stood cautiously by the side, waiting for the prince's next words.

After tidying up, the prince pushed aside the case and stood up, strolling in the hall. Wang Xifeng hurriedly followed him.

"Someone mentioned Shui Rong to my father the other day, so I joined in the conversation. When they finally talked about Shui Rong's marriage, I mentioned Ms. Jia's love for him.

"My father was very happy and said that the two families were old friends and that the elders of both families had watched their children grow up and knew each other very well.

"So I asked someone to pick an auspicious day.

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory asked for the two men's horoscopes to compare.

"This afternoon, Prince Su came to the palace to deliver the prayer scrolls copied by his and Yongning's residences for my mother.

"Later, when I came before my father, I mentioned that my mother was worried about Lady Jia and wanted to plead for her.

"My father immediately ordered the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to report that the horoscopes had matched, and it was extremely auspicious. Three days later, which would be the 19th, would be the nearest auspicious day.

"So, when that day comes, my father will issue an imperial decree to grant us the marriage."

After the prince finished speaking, he sighed with emotion, put his hands behind his back and looked down at his toes, chuckled and said, "It turns out that I am the only one who has always wanted to be a lone minister and a pure minister, and have never had any contact with anyone."

Wang Xifeng snorted angrily: "Prince Su is really like an octopus, he wants to stick his hand in everything! He can take care of the Jia family's affairs whenever he wants, but why does he force Your Highness to drink when he fails to achieve his goal?

"Your Highness is really good-tempered. Why did you let him drink? It's so easy to refuse in front of His Majesty!"

The prince felt sorry for himself when he heard these words, and his heart was slightly warmed. He smiled and said, "He wanted to force me to drink, and I felt happy when I saw him holding his breath and feeling uncomfortable. I really wanted to drink a few cups.

"It's okay. I can go to Daming Palace later tomorrow and avoid being hunted by the Empress."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, her eyebrows immediately furrowed. After thinking for a while, she carefully suggested, "Your Highness, how about which concubine's palace you go to stay in tonight?"

The prince paused, a joking expression on his face, but then he changed his mind and showed displeasure: "My mother will not send someone to come to Lizheng Palace to cause trouble for me tomorrow morning, right?"

"I heard that Prince Su will stay in the Queen's Palace tonight." Wang Xifeng sighed.

The prince remained silent, thinking for a while, then raised his head and ordered Qinghai: "Tell the main hall of Yiqiu Palace that I will stay overnight."

Wang Xifeng's eyes widened: "Your Highness! Sister Mei is suffering from morning sickness and vomits all the time..."

"I will go see her and then sleep on the couch in the outer room. Firstly, Nanny Duan is guarding the door and no one dares to force their way in; secondly, she will be able to stay in bed less tomorrow morning."

The prince smiled helplessly, stretched out his finger and pointed at her from a distance, "You are really nosy!"

Wang Xifeng stuck out her tongue and apologized with a smile.

The prince waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I'll look at the memorial for a while."

Wang Xifeng said goodbye, but she was worried before she left, so she reminded him, "Sister Mei goes to bed early every day, so Your Highness should not go there too late, otherwise she will feel sleepy and will not be able to sleep well at night."

The prince became impatient. He had been sitting behind a long desk and had picked up a book and was about to unfold it, but when he heard this, he slammed it down on the desk.

Wang Xifeng quickly knelt down and took her leave, then turned around and ran away.

"You're just too talkative!" The prince muttered, picked up the book again, but couldn't read it anymore, turned around and asked Qinghai, "Changying just said that Brother Tao studied very hard?

"I remember that when the Crown Princess taught him to recite the Three Hundred Thousand, he was not very happy about it."

Qing Hai smiled and said, "That's different. When the Crown Princess coaxed the little prince to study, she felt that the child was wronged, and her words and actions involuntarily showed pity.

"Children are very smart in this matter. They know that they can stop studying if they cry and act like a spoiled child. Who will take the initiative to be self-aware?

"Master Lin is different. He is a teacher first and foremost, and he believes that it is natural for students to study.

"Besides, the young prince is precocious, extremely intelligent and sensible. Lord Lin has no son, so he only wants to help the prince become a useful person, so he will do everything he can to encourage him.

"I heard that Lord Lin was afraid that the young prince would get tired of studying, so he would take the young prince for a walk around the palace every hour and tell him stories from the past. The young prince was always so fascinated by the stories that he begged for more stories!"

The prince laughed and nodded, saying, "Ruhai is patient and graceful. He will teach Tao Ge'er for me in the next few years. Tao Ge'er can change his teacher in a few years. I have to find a good job for Ruhai!"

Qinghai smiled and bent over: "The prince is wise."

"Okay, I can't sit still anymore. Let's go to Yiqiu Palace now. Mei is a great chess player, and I haven't had the leisure to play chess for a long time."

The prince was in high spirits and strolled to Yi Qiu Palace.

That night, Mei Ruoqin smiled as beautiful as a flower and was as gentle as water, and the prince spoke softly and tenderly, with deep affection. The two of them played chess under the window under the moonlight and red candles, which was very elegant.

Not to mention.
