Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Nanny Hai was very annoyed by the prince's words before she left in embarrassment.

Until she said goodbye, she did not dare to tell the prince that the queen's oral order was actually for him, and she was scolding the prince for bypassing her and finding a matchmaker for the female historian who was nominally hers.

After returning to the Daming Palace, Nanny Hai wiped the sweat off her forehead, tried hard to adjust her mood, put on a smile, and entered the Queen's Palace.

Queen Mo lived in Zhaoyang Palace, which was closest to the Emperor's residence in the harem, Zichen Palace.

This palace became famous due to a line by a Tang Dynasty poet: "Love ends in Zhaoyang Palace, and years pass by in Penglai Palace."

Emperor Shengping once asked Empress Mo with a smile if she had no taboos.

However, Queen Mo said that since the couple were no longer young, it would be better for them to live closer so that she could take care of the emperor and feel more at ease.

Emperor Shengping did not comment on this statement.

Queen Mo was very unhappy that she did not receive the admiration and tenderness she had imagined. She complained to Madam Hai in private: "It would be better to live in Penglai Palace!"

Nanny Hai entered the Zhaoyang Palace. Along the way, all the palace servants and eunuchs knelt down and greeted her respectfully. She smiled and nodded to each of them, then quickly entered the inner hall.

Queen Mo, who had been angry for the whole morning, was no longer able to bear the anger anymore. She leaned on the couch and listened to a eunuch and a palace maid telling jokes, while a man was kneeling beside her and massaging her legs.

When Nanny Hai came in, the two of them stopped talking and stood aside obediently with their hands hanging down.

Queen Mo waved her hand, and the three people immediately lowered their heads and retreated.

"What's going on?" asked Queen Mo.

Nanny Hai sighed before she spoke: "The prince went to the Eastern Palace, but was turned away. He didn't even dare to argue and ran away. I found out that he has returned to Prince Su's Mansion."

"What about the prince?!" Queen Mo's anger flared up again.

Madam Hai said angrily: "The prince was very drunk when he went home yesterday. He sobered up first and went to visit the pregnant Mei. The two chatted until four o'clock in the morning before going to bed.

"Prince Su didn't mention it yesterday, but His Majesty said at the banquet that seeing that the Crown Prince had been working hard recently, had lost weight, and was drunk, so he personally ordered him to come to the palace this afternoon.

"With this sentence, who would have the courage to call the prince to get up so early in the morning? Besides, there is that Duan family guarding the gate.

"It was only when I went there that I realized that there was something about His Majesty, and that the Empress's instructions were inappropriate. So I was bold and didn't mention it at all..."

She recounted in detail the experience of meeting the Crown Princess, Wang Xifeng, and Jia Yuanchun. Her eyes turned red again and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "The Crown Prince misunderstood the Empress and me, and said some insinuating words."

Queen Mo was furious: "He has never been able to speak properly since he was a child! Especially he learned it from that bitch, full of hypocritical words! I despise him the most!

"But Seventeen is so abominable! How dare he lie to me and run away without telling me?!"

Nanny Hai remained silent.

Queen Mo snorted, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did you find out who stopped Seventeen? Was it Qinghai? Or was it that new guy Changying?"

"No, he is just a young eunuch who was transferred from the inner courtyard to guard the empty house." Madam Hai advised again, "Forget it? It has come to this point, it is a done deal.

“Even if you continue to scold the prince, he will not compete with the ministers for his wife and take Jia into the harem.

"I just want to put one of my own by the prince's side, what's wrong with that?

“Where are we now?

"In the future, the prince will ascend the throne, and there will be another three years of beauty selection. By then, you will be the queen mother, and you can legitimately bring your beloved girl into the palace to be crowned as a concubine. Why bother arguing about the length of this day?"

Queen Mo was silent for a while, then sighed weakly and fell back on the couch: "That's not what you mean! He is just the crown prince, and he has not even sat on the chair yet, but he has already refused to listen to me in everything.

“When he really takes over the Daming Palace, and with that stupid woman Mo Xiaoxiao stirring up trouble, my mother and I, who were not very close to begin with, will become even more distant and it will be hard for us to talk to each other.

“I am now extremely wealthy and there is nothing more I can ask for.

"But firstly, there are few promising people in the Mohist School, and the prince is unwilling to pull him in; secondly, Seventeen is straightforward and reckless, and I'm afraid his brother won't tolerate him in the future...

"If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to control him, I don't know what life will be like for Mo Jia and Seventeen in the next two or three years!"

"No matter what, Prince Su is my biological brother, and the Mo family is my uncle's family. No matter how strict and unkind the Crown Prince is, he won't watch them eat coarse food, right?"

Nanny Hai smiled and stepped forward to rub Queen Mo's temples, "Don't always worry about it in advance.

"Doesn't the Emperor always say that things will work out when the time comes?"

Queen Mo responded vaguely, and then muttered, "Since you said you would give Jia Yuanchun a few things, go and look through them later and send them to the Jia family on the due date. Don't forget."

Seeing that she had closed her eyes, Madam Hai smiled and said softly, "Your Highness didn't sleep well last night, and you got up very early today. It's not even lunch time yet, why don't you take a rest?"

Queen Mo had already felt sleepy. Upon hearing this, she hummed, tilted her head, and fell into a deep sleep.

Nanny Hai massaged her for a while longer, and seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she took a quilt and covered her with it, then tiptoed out of the inner hall.

When she reached the outer room, she found a low stool and sat down. Then a knowledgeable and interesting little palace maid came up and massaged her shoulders and waist.

Madam Hai looked around and asked, "Where is Sun Qian?"

"Eunuch Sun went to the back and will be back soon." The little palace maid said cautiously that the man had gone to the toilet.

Sure enough, half a cup of tea later, a middle-aged eunuch with delicate features came in. When he saw Madam Hai, he smiled and greeted her, "You're back?"

Madam Hai dismissed the young palace maid, pulled the eunuch named Sun Qian to sit down, and whispered to him: "The Mei family is pregnant. I guess the East Palace will have a baby this time."

Sun Qian raised his eyebrows: "This is a good thing!"

"A good thing?" Madam Hai bit her lip, a flash of anger in her eyes, "You call this a good thing?!"

"Prince Duan is so outstanding that everyone from His Majesty to the Eastern Palace looks at him with the same eyes." Sun Qian smiled, "Godmother, remember, I told you a long time ago -

“We are not planning for a moment.

"How old is Prince Su? There is also Prince Xiaoyao below him, how old is he?

"It's a good thing to have more men in the East Palace!"

Madam Hai remained silent for a long time before she gritted her teeth and nodded: "You are right!"

Sun Qian carefully looked around to see if there was anyone around, and shook Hai Ma's hand affectionately: "Godmother, don't worry, I remember everything about my brother and sister!

"We serve Queen Mo, and no one can drive us out in our lifetime!

"As long as I stay in the palace, are you still worried that I won't be able to investigate those things and avenge those grudges?"

As soon as he mentioned "brother and sister", Nanny Hai's eyes turned red and tears fell. She wiped them away quickly and nodded vigorously.

At this moment, a delicate voice sounded outside: "Hey, why is Madam Hai crying? Who is so bold as to let you suffer injustice?!"
