Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"Sister, you can figure out the twists and turns, which saves me a lot of trouble." Wang Xifeng heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and advised her gently, "The age difference is too big.

"The young prince has already started school. Everyone in the court knows that he is precocious, and everyone in the royal family knows that he is filial and respectful.

"To be honest, if he inherits the chair in the future, no matter whether the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl, no matter what our personalities will be in the future, no matter who we marry, and even no matter what kind of child Sister Geng and I give birth to -

"We can all let our children grow up safely and live a life of wealth and leisure. Isn't this good? I am very satisfied."

Mei Ruoqin nodded repeatedly as she spoke: "Me too. Tao Ge'er is a very good child. I am very happy to let him take care of his younger brothers and sisters in the future, and even take care of us for the rest of our lives."

The two sisters reached an agreement and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Xifeng felt tired at this moment, so she said goodbye: "I am tired, let alone you? Hurry up and take a rest. For lunch, I asked the kitchen to prepare sour soup from Yunnan and Guizhou, which will surely whet your appetite."

Mei Ruoqin thanked him, lay down contentedly, and fell into a sweet sleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow.

When Wang Xifeng returned to Yichun Palace, she first ordered someone to go and take a look at Yuanchun.

The person replied, "I fell asleep because I was tired of crying."

Only then did Wang Xifeng lie down peacefully and take a short nap.

What she didn't expect was that because she was chanting scriptures and worshipping today, and it was also the birthday of Guanyin, with the blessing of the True Phoenix and Wonderful Sound, the Crown Prince, who was far away in the Da Ci'en Temple, almost fell asleep while accompanying Queen Mo to listen to the scriptures!

The abbot was preaching the sutra with all his heart, but he couldn't help feeling dissatisfied when he saw the prince acting like this. He muttered something around the bush, reached out for the gavel, and struck the bell with a slight force from his wrist.

There was a sound of bronze.

The prince was half asleep and saw himself sitting in a palace. He opened a booklet and the first line on it was his father's name: Shen Qi.

Where and what book is this? How dare they write the emperor’s name so blatantly on it!

After the name, there was actually a time: September 17, the third year of Zhaoming, 15:33.

When he looked at the time, his heart skipped a beat.

He seemed to be very clear that this was the time when his father, Emperor Shengping, passed away.

No, no!

How could he possibly see this?

What you think about during the day you dream about at night? !

But he sincerely and wholeheartedly hoped that his father could live a long life and serve as the emperor for another ten or eight years!

——Only with that kind of time can he carve out a space for himself amidst the dense web of various nobles, royal family members, old ministers, etc. that have become too powerful to be eliminated!

This is definitely not the day when my father will die!

He was yelling at himself in his heart, his heart breaking, when suddenly, the sound of a chime brought him back to reality.

Queen Mo glanced at him in dissatisfaction, but she had to smooth things over for him: "Prince, you seem a little tired these days. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

The prince was silent for a moment, then bowed to the abbot and said, "I will not lie in front of you, Master. I just had a sudden feeling. When the ceremony is over, I hope you can help me solve my doubts."

The abbot was immediately surprised and delighted!

Who understands the value of this sentence? !

This shows that the prince's attitude towards Buddhism is not only respect for the royal family, but also his own firm belief in it!

If he could explain the prince's "feeling" in a harmonious and appropriate way, it would probably lead to tremendous wealth!

"Amitabha, I am naturally happy to serve the prince." The abbot could not suppress his joy. A smile appeared on his face. He spoke more softly and explained the sutras to Queen Mo in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

He Ke, who was kneeling behind Queen Mo, frowned at the old monk.

Although she was young, she happened to be facing the old monk and could see the greed and ambition that flashed across his face.

He Ke was smart to begin with, and now he had a close friend like Lin Daiyu who was also very talented and intelligent as his companion, so he became even more advanced in understanding people's hearts. At this moment, he knew at a glance that this monk was not a real person.

Almost instantly, the desire to pray devoutly was extinguished.

Seeing that Empress Mo was listening with fascination, she carefully pulled Lin Daiyu, gave her a wink, and then quietly ran out to play.

Lin Daiyu stared at her and refused, shaking her head to stop her, motioning her to go see the prince.

He Ke then noticed that his father looked dazed, with complicated eyes and the corners of his mouth drooping slightly, as if he was a little sad?

In this case, I really can only endure it for the time being.

He Ke just turned his head and asked Lin Daiyu quietly: "Does your knee hurt?"

Lin Daiyu wanted to shake her head, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded gently, bit her lip, and moved her knees.

Nanny Ji, who was following the two girls, saw this and realized that the two little girls could no longer kneel. She took advantage of the opportunity, said hello to Nanny Hai, gently tugged at the back of the two girls' collars, waved to them, and quietly left the hall.

After leaving that solemn place where talking and moving were forbidden, He Ke looked around to see if there was anyone around. He stretched his body, shook his arms, moved his legs, stamped his feet, and yawned:

"I got up so early, and thought the ritual would be over in half an hour. Who knew there would be a lecture, and it would last so long!

"Doesn't the Empress Dowager have back pain and sore legs? I see she is so relaxed kneeling down!"

Nanny Ji patted her arm gently and said gently, "Don't be picky about the Queen."

"I'm not being picky, I'm just... I'm worried." He Ke blinked and hugged Nanny Ji's arm, smiling flatteringly, "We kids are exhausted after sitting for so long, let alone the Empress Dowager?

"Father is a man, he doesn't think so. The Crown Princess is not here, and who among the remaining Liang Yuan, Cheng Hui and others has the courage to ask the Empress Dowager to rest at this time?

"I am the only one left, aren't I? Good Madam, otherwise, I will go and make a scene with the Empress Dowager and ask her to relax a little."

Madam Ji hesitated for a moment, but shook her head and looked at Lin Daiyu: "What do you think, Sister Lin?"

Lin Daiyu glanced at He Ke, then pulled her aside and whispered in her ear, "Minding your own business!"

Then he said to Madam Ji politely, "The Queen specially organized such a ritual, and she must have chosen today to come and listen to the abbot's lecture in person. I'm afraid there is some reason.

"We are young and ignorant, so it's fine if we can't help, but we can't cause more trouble.

"Besides, the princess has also said that the Crown Princess did not come, and Wang Liang Di did not come either. Princess, there is no one to help smooth things over for your words and actions now. What if you say something wrong later? What will you do?

"You have never guessed the Queen's thoughts.

“Still, forget it.

"Let's go change and then go back quickly."

He Ke was so depressed by her words.

Yes, the Empress Dowager has never taken me seriously. Even if I have good intentions, what if she scolds me in public for "not being sincere in worshiping Buddha"?

Then if I said that I came here to pray for my mother's speedy reincarnation, wouldn't that also be a lie?

Forget it.

The less trouble, the better.

"Okay, let's relax and go back - to hear what Daddy feels and what the monk needs to explain!"
