Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

The more Chen Duo thought about it, the more he wondered if he was crazy. The next morning, with dark circles under his eyes, he ran to the side door of the East Palace leading to the Daming Palace to peek in.

Then, the prince, who was riding in the sedan chair with Xu Wangxifeng, saw it, frowned, and called him closer: "What's the matter?"

Chen Duo knelt on one knee respectfully and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and to Lady Wang Liang."

"Oh, isn't this Warden Chen?" Wang Xifeng tilted her head and looked out, with a curious look on her face, "Look at these two eyes, have they not slept all night? Is there something urgent you want to see His Royal Highness?"

The prince pushed her back helplessly: "Sit down. This is the palace gate. You know who he is, so you're ready to chat?"

"The assassination case in my palace was handled by Warden Chen. We are old acquaintances." Wang Xifeng sat down with a smile and waved her hand, "The prince is talking to Warden Chen about serious matters. I promise not to interrupt."

The prince suddenly realized and said "oh", then asked Chen Duo with a stern face: "Tell me what's going on, I and Concubine Liang are busy."

"If I want to investigate yesterday's case, I'm afraid I have to go to the palace and look through old books. I'd like to ask for the prince's warrant..." Chen Duo glanced at the prince.

The prince said expressionlessly, "I don't have a warrant for you. Even if I did, wouldn't you be afraid of alerting the enemy by using my warrant to check the old files?"

Chen Duo was speechless.

Wang Xifeng watched the fun from the side, smiling but saying nothing.

The prince remained silent.

Chen Duo looked around and had no choice but to bite the bullet and plead, "Since Liang Di is going to Daming Palace to take charge of harem affairs, checking the roster of palace personnel is the first priority.

"I wonder if I can use this name..."

The prince then glanced at Wang Xifeng and said, "Chen Shiyu has come to you for help, Wang Liangdi, how about you do something for me?"

Wang Xifeng chuckled: "Okay, okay!"

He smiled at Chen Duo again and said, "Once we enter the Daming Palace, I will call you by your real name. You can discuss it with Jing Li then."

Chen Duo was delighted and kowtowed: "Thank you Liang Di for your help!"

Then he stood up, ran to the back and stood next to Jing Li.

Jing Li pointed to him and whispered, "This guy has just arrived. His name is Chunsheng. He is very smart."

Chen Duo took a few looks at him, then leaned over and asked quietly, "Little brother, do you have any Kung Fu?"

"To answer Master Chen's question, my family used to run an escort agency. Later, something went wrong, my father died, my mother remarried, and I was sold into the palace by my uncle." Chunsheng replied in a low voice, with courtesy but also a hint of timidity.

Chen Duo said "oh", nodded, and then asked him in a low voice: "But I remember that you were an orphan according to the records of the inner court. You did not go through the Daming Palace's Yiting Bureau to purchase, but went directly to the Eastern Palace.

"Moreover, you said that you learned your Kung Fu from the stick instructor in the inner courtyard?"

Chunsheng's eyes flashed with nervousness, but he still leaned over and answered honestly: "My uncle didn't allow me to tell the truth, fearing that the palace would not accept it. So I said I was an orphan and was adopted by him."

"Yeah." Chen Duo nodded repeatedly and smiled at Jing Li, "This kid is good, honest, and tells the truth when asked."

Jing Li's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "What kind of vision does our Liang Di have? How could the child she personally selected be wrong?"

Chen Duo continued to praise Wang Xifeng for her ability to "know people and assign them to the right positions" for a long time. Finally, he glanced at Fu Guier and turned away without saying a word.

As soon as Fuguier saw his figure, he felt pain all over his body, and the flesh on his fat face was shaking unconsciously.

Jing Li saw it, chuckled, and patted him as a way of comforting him.

Inside the sedan chair, Wang Xifeng approached the prince curiously, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked in a low voice: "What does Chen Duo want to investigate? Is it enough for him alone? Does he need me to help him keep an eye on other departments?

"Or I can assign Fugui'er to him. Fugui'er will definitely feel his legs twitching when he sees him now, and will obey his every command!"

The prince glanced at her and snorted, "Aren't these all good ideas from you? Now the situation here is as chaotic as porridge! Not to mention Chen Duo, even I feel a headache just thinking about it!"

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh, those things! I know! Don't worry, Prince. I'll let Chen Duo serve lunch today. Then I'll tell him about the disputes between those people!"

Seeing Xuanzheng Hall, the prince ignored him and got off the sedan chair to do his own thing. He pointed inside and said, "It's a long way to go. Let the sedan chair take you to Chengxiang Hall first."

Wang Xifeng smiled sweetly, lifted the curtain and thanked the prince in a delicate voice.

The prince waved his hand and went into the palace.

The ministers who were waiting at the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall saw at a glance that there was a woman sitting in the prince's sedan chair!

As everyone knows, the Crown Princess has not yet recovered from her injuries, so this woman must not be the Crown Princess.

As for the concubine from the Wang family, she now comes to Daming Palace every day to clean up the palace.

"Hmph! The daughter of the Wang family doesn't read books and really doesn't know etiquette!" The Minister of Rites was extremely dissatisfied. He muttered something under his breath and even slammed his sleeves.

A newly promoted doctor from the Ministry of Works couldn't wait to chime in: "I heard that they're moving the palace so much that they're almost tearing down the East Palace! Even the Duobao Pavilion has been moved in! It's really insulting!"

However, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was stroking his beard nearby, heard this and couldn't help but say something fair: "There have been many places where money has been spent in the past two years. I'm afraid the East Palace will be empty for the next seven or eight years.

"If we can just use the furniture from the East Palace first, wouldn't that save us money from the Daming Palace?

“I don’t think it’s a bad thing.”

The Ministry of Rites was annoyed: "They said she was rude to ride in the same chariot with the Crown Prince, why do you think she was dismantling the furniture?"

The Ministry of Revenue said, "Oh!" and put his hands up: "That's rude."

and then?

Gone? !

The Ministry of Rites glared at the Ministry of Revenue, and then passed over the Ministry of Works with an expressionless face.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War and Ministry of Personnel nearby all watched the fun in silence.

Only Prince Beijing and Prince Kang's eldest grandson Shen Kuang, who came on behalf of the Ministry of War, huddled together, feeling sleepy and yawning.

Prince Beijing stretched his body and muttered: "There are so many important things that cannot be dealt with, but he is still looking for trouble with other women. What a waste of time..."

Shen Kuang agreed with it and nodded vigorously, then yawned and rubbed his eyes to wipe away tears.

The prince went up the steps and clearly heard their whispers, but he ignored them all and strode into the hall with an expressionless face: "Let's discuss the urgent reports from the southwest and northwest first.

"Wait a moment, Minister of Rites and Minister of Works, Guanglu."

The Ministry of Rites looked unhappy, but had no choice but to bow and agree.

Not to mention.

The prince's sedan chair swayed into Chengxiang Hall, put Wang Xifeng down, and then swayed away.

Wang Xifeng then called Jing Li over and said, "Zhou Daiyuan said he was waiting for me at the palace gate today, but I didn't see him just now.

“Take Fuguier with you to ask, and then bring the list back for me to see.

"If the emperor allows me to go to the warehouse, tell them that I will go directly from the East Palace to the warehouse tomorrow morning."

Jing Li frowned: "We will move to another palace tomorrow. Will you go to check the storehouse?"

“It’s just a move.

"Once I serve the Crown Princess and enter the Hanbing Palace, my mission will be over.

"When the time comes, the Crown Princess will direct Liu Shang to arrange for them. Am I supposed to just stand by and set the rules?

"It's better to go to the warehouse."

Wang Xifeng wiped her sweat with her handkerchief and drove him away impatiently, "Hurry up and do your job, stop talking so much nonsense!"
