Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Prince Su did not dare to enter the palace again, he just hid back in the palace.

Queen Mo waited for the Crown Prince and her youngest son but they both failed to show up. She became angrier and angrier, so she sent her trusted confidant, Nanny Hai, to the East Palace to look for them: "Call those two bastards over here!"

Fortunately, Nanny Hai was cautious. When she arrived at the East Palace, she first asked about Prince Su's whereabouts, and then inquired about the Crown Prince's daily routine. After hearing everything, she was horrified, knowing that the Queen would probably return empty-handed again this time.

——But the person who told her what happened accidentally or intentionally omitted one thing: Prince Su ordered the Crown Prince's attendant to slap the boy in the face. The boy, who was only twelve or thirteen, had a tender face that swelled up like a pig's head.

Nanny Hai rolled her eyes and went straight to Cheng'en Palace to meet the Crown Princess.

The serious mother-in-law sent someone to visit her daughter-in-law who was still recovering from her injuries, and no one could say anything wrong.

——The only omission was that the people who came to visit the patients came empty-handed and did not bring anything to express their condolences.

So this was simply a false favor, a favor that came at the expense of the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess knew it in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. She politely expressed her gratitude and then asked about the real matter:

"The palace gates had just opened early in the morning when I heard that my seventeenth brother had hurried in, saying that he wanted to convey the Queen Mother's imperial decree.

"The prince slept late last night, so it took some effort to get him up.

"But before the Crown Prince could go there, I heard that the Seventeenth Brother had fled in a panic again - and when he arrived, he didn't tell me what message the Queen Mother wanted him to convey.

"We can't ask. We're afraid that the Seventeenth Brother is joking with his brother. If he really tells Mother about it, he will be beaten."

Madam Hai smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. "Sure enough, that's not the case! It was just Prince Su and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince joking!"

The Crown Princess raised her eyebrows and smiled: "That's what I said."

I felt extremely regretful: How could I have found an excuse for that arrogant bastard? !

Seeing the Crown Princess's expression stiff, Nanny Hai smiled and comforted her, "Prince Su is young, and his words and actions are a bit careless.

"The Queen originally just wanted to give Miss Jia a few words of advice, but the Prince heard it and insisted on asking for this errand to come and visit the East Palace.

"Empress chased after him and shouted that it was inappropriate, but he didn't listen and just wanted to watch the fun.

"Perhaps he felt it was impolite when he got close to her, so he ran away in shame.

"The Crown Princess has been the prince's sister-in-law for many years and has always loved him like her own brother. She even helped cover up such nonsense.

"That's why they say marry a virtuous wife, a virtuous wife brings less trouble to the husband! This is truly a blessing for our Crown Prince, and also a blessing for the Queen!"

Even though she knew that this was a big hat that was forced upon her, after all, every word was a compliment, and the Crown Princess had no choice but to accept it, and humbly said: "I come from a simple family, and often do things without thinking, thanks to my mother for tolerating me over the years.

“As for the Seventeenth Brother, the Crown Prince is much younger than him in age, and he treats him like a junior and teaches him lovingly. He won’t argue with him about these things.

"Madam, please tell the Queen Mother to rest assured that the Crown Prince and Prince Su are friendly and respectful to each other, and they are doing very well."

Although humble, it is instinctive to make indirect accusations.

Madam Hai felt her face go stiff, and after a few mumbled words, she changed the subject and said, "I heard that Ms. Jia is now living in the palace of her cousin Wang Liangdi?

"My Lady Crown Princess, why don't you call Lady Wang over here? I'll read out the Empress's instructions."

Announce the Queen's oral order in Cheng'en Hall?

Wouldn't that mean I should also stand up and kneel down to listen? Otherwise, it would be unfilial.

Old slave...

The Crown Princess refused with a fake smile: "Let Madam know, Miss Jia accidentally fell a while ago, and the imperial physician asked her to be taken care of. I'm afraid she can't move now.

"If you want to announce the imperial edict in person, you have to go to the main hall of Yichun Palace in person."

"Injured?" Madam Hai was surprised. "Where are you injured?"

"I don't know either. After all, according to the imperial physician, I have been bedridden for more than two months, and I can't sit up for more than two minutes a day!" The Crown Princess smiled, "Yichun Palace is not far away, Ma'am, just take it as a walk and enjoy the scenery of our East Palace!"

He called out directly, "Kai Lan, you personally accompany Madam there."

Madam Hai barely managed to hold back her embarrassment. She had to put on a fake smile in front of Kale and exchange pleasantries while asking indirectly, "I heard that Mei Liangyuan has severe morning sickness?"

"There was nothing unusual at first. It was a new recruit called Zhao Xun who saw that Mei Liangyuan had a good temper and kept bothering her. That's why she got pregnant and started having morning sickness."

Kale replied casually, "I think it would be okay to recover from the discomfort I felt that time."

Matron Hai nodded in understanding and asked tentatively, "Did the prince find anyone he likes among the newcomers this time?"

"It's the busiest time. The prince hasn't been to the back hall for more than half a month. If Mei Liangyuan wasn't pregnant, I'm afraid he wouldn't even go to her place. How can he find the time to meet the new person?"

Kai Lan frowned and said, "Now the East Palace's back hall is managed by Wang Liangdi, and the Crown Prince only lets her serve him during meals and say a few words to him."

Nanny Hai nodded and smiled, "That's right. When the Queen was busy, she would listen to Liu Shang's comments during dinner."

Kailan smiled, tilted his head and exchanged a meaningful look with her, and the two of them became closer invisibly.

When they arrived at Yichun Palace, Nanny Hai got everything out of Kai Lan's mouth about what had happened in the back hall of the East Palace in the past few days.

"What did you say? Ms. Jia was injured by the prince kicking her?" Nanny Hai was shocked.

Kailan rolled her eyes and whispered, "Who told that bitch to have bad intentions, wearing a white gauze dress, with long hair loose, crying and throwing herself on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the middle of the night!

"Your Highness thought it was a ghost or monster! He subconsciously kicked it out!

"Your Highness was very brave when she practiced martial arts. How could she, a little girl, withstand such a kick? Isn't she injured?

"If you ask me, you deserve it!

"Besides, if she got kicked for this reason, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she probably wouldn't have the guts to tell anyone about it.

"So when Yichun Palace wanted to cover up her scandal, she just accepted it."

Madam Hai cursed inwardly, "Useless thing," and also taunted, "This Miss Jia, she really can't think straight..."

"Now, the emperor is wise and has granted her marriage to Prince Beijing. I wonder if she still dares to make trouble in the East Palace!" Gan Lan was very proud.

Madam Hai's heart was slightly moved, and she cautiously probed: "I heard that this marriage was requested by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for Ms. Jia. How come you didn't hear about it beforehand?"

“The marriage between the two most important officials of the court was a matter of great consideration by the Emperor and the Crown Prince.

"Don't even mention a little maid like Kai Lan from the Eastern Palace. Even I, the Consort Liang, and Sister Wu, the Consort Liang, only heard the news this morning."

Wang Xifeng, Wu Liangyuan and Li Chenghui happened to have just come out of the hall and were walking outside. They interrupted Nanny Hai and continued what she had said.

Gan Lan finally calmed down a little and realized that he had told Nanny Hai all the secrets of the Eastern Palace. His face gradually turned as pale as a piece of paper!
