Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 273 Crying and Cursing for Money

The prince quickly left Hanbing Palace and went straight after Wang Xifeng.

When he strode into Chengxiang Hall, he found that there was no one outside the main hall.

At the inner door of the main hall, except for Aunt Meng, all the eunuchs and palace maids under Wang Xifeng, as well as Qian Gang, stood there holding their breath and keeping silent.

Wang Xifeng's angry cries and scoldings pierced her ears like a devil's voice, coming out from inside:

"I am just a slut! I am stupid and greedy! In such a filthy place, everyone wants to kill people, and there is no sincerity at all!

"Why are you following me? You will die in front of me sooner or later!

"Everyone, go! Go quickly! Escape! Leave this man-eating hell!"

Aunt Meng advised earnestly, and every word she said was true: "Liang Di, you can't use a bamboo pole to overturn a whole boat of people...

"The Emperor and the Crown Prince have been very kind to you, and they have never wronged you once, right?

"Even the Empress, who has never been kind to anyone in the Eastern Palace, praised you for your desperate efforts to save the emperor on the way back to Zhaoyang Palace.

"Then he urged you to come back and rest?

"I was ordered to inspect the palaces. All the concubines were very worried about your safety. When Geng Chenghui heard about it, he was so anxious that he burst into tears. If I hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid he would have run out to die with you...

"My dear Concubine, since we entered the Eastern Palace, don't we already know what everyone's attitude towards you will be?

"Don't say you were just in charge of the palace affairs for a few days. You would be in charge of the household for a lifetime, raising children for a lifetime, and even kneeling in front of her for a lifetime!

"Aren't you also the beautiful concubine with both talent and appearance that all the mistresses in the world dislike the most?

"Which mistress wouldn't want to kill or maim a beautiful concubine like you and drive her out if she had the chance?

“What’s so annoying about this?

"It's worth crying like this..."

Wang Xifeng's crying stopped for a moment, and then she started again: "I understand the principle of being a concubine, but she shouldn't do such a thing of repaying kindness with enmity!"

"Shh, shh, you can't say she is not a human being. You can't say that..." Aunt Meng hurriedly whispered to coax her.

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she even sobbed, "If she can do it, don't blame me!"

"Okay, okay, okay, you can say anything, but we have to speak more quietly..." Aunt Meng's voice became smaller and smaller.

The prince stood outside and felt a headache.

so awkward.

She was right.

But in front of so many servants, I couldn't just ignore it.

Who can make her shut up?

Qinghai, who was following behind, also stood on the left side of the prince, shrinking his neck and saying nothing.

Good guy!

Wang Liangdi and Aunt Meng are really bold in speaking out...

The people at the door became even more anxious and terrified. They wanted to tell Wang Xifeng the news, but they didn't have the courage to do so.

Fuguier was so anxious that his face was covered with sweat. He looked left and right and saw no one said anything. He could not help but grit his teeth, opened his mouth, and let out two "ah ah" sounds, followed by a loud sneeze!

The voices from the inner room suddenly stopped.

The prince felt relieved, but he looked at Fugui'er with disdain and snorted, "You're so fat, and you're still afraid of the cold? You're such a useless waste!"

He walked in proudly and asked loudly, "Where is my beautiful and capable Wang Liangdi? Come out quickly so that I can see her and express my admiration for her!"

Wang Xifeng was wiping her tears. When she heard this, she burst into laughter.

Aunt Meng was horrified and hurriedly stood up to greet him. When she saw the prince striding towards her, her legs went weak and she knelt down, greeting him in a trembling voice: "Greetings, Your Highness.

"Yes, if you take good care of my Lady Wang, I will be very happy. Now go out and get me something to eat and drink." The prince waved his hand and drove them out.

Wang Xifeng wiped her tears with a handkerchief while hurriedly admonishing, "Your Highness has been fasting for the past few days and cannot eat meat. Jingli, hurry up and go to the Shangshi Bureau and tell them."

Everyone came back to life, some were making tea, some were sweeping the floor, some were packing up, and each went about their business.

Only Xia Shouzhong and Qinghai looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly walked to the small compartment next to them and sat down to drink tea.

The prince looked at the decoration of the main hall of Chengxiang Palace and said with a sigh: "The palace of the East Palace is narrow, and it's still crowded even with all your things. Now that they are placed here, why do I feel so empty?"

"This is not called emptiness. This is called poverty." Wang Xifeng said angrily, but she still let the prince sit in the main seat, and then asked him, "Just now in front of the Crown Princess, I couldn't interfere, so I didn't dare to ask.

"I'm afraid Zheng Fan has already planted spies around you. Has he attacked you? Is the situation critical?"

The prince smiled, sighed, and said, "I went to see my father as soon as I came back. Prime Minister Dai felt bad and kept apologizing to me, and even knelt down to kowtow.

"My father was afraid that I might be angry with Prime Minister Dai, so he covered up for him and used the excuse of feeling unwell to drive me and all the officials out.

"I went to visit my mother, and she was really frightened. Aunt Hai made her some soothing soup, and she fell asleep after taking it.

"Then I went to the Crown Princess, and after we talked, it turned out like this."

As he spoke, he spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "I watched the sun set, the day passed, I hadn't eaten or drunk anything, and no one cared about me.

"Are you injured?"

Wang Xifeng was silent for a moment, then looked at the Crown Prince suspiciously: "Your Highness, do you think that if you complain to me, I will feel that we are in the same boat and will no longer resent the Crown Princess?"

The prince was speechless and smiled awkwardly: "How do you know?"

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, walked away, and went to hang up Jin Ercai's shelf. She then walked over and tidied up the mat where Wu Jin often slept.

Then she turned around, her lively eyes rolled slightly, revealing a creepy and delicate smile:

"Your Highness just now complained that my palace was too empty?

"Is there nothing I can do?

"I am poor!"

The prince immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay! I know! You've said it twice!

"After the ceremony, my small storehouse will also be moved into Daming Palace. I promise you that when I move, I will transfer Xia Shouzhong back to help.

"Then, count all my belongings, big and small. You are allowed to pick ten items. They are not listed in the catalog of the small storehouse in Daming Palace. Let Xia Shouzhong take them directly to Chengxiang Hall.

"Is this good?"

Wang Xifeng's eyes sparkled immediately, as if a mountain of gold was before her. She asked, "No matter how big or small it is, I can pick a white jade bed for you."

"If there is, it would be useful." The prince laughed, "Unfortunately, there is none in my small storehouse!"

Wang Xifeng then tried again: "Then can I go with you to help instead of letting Xia Shouzhong go with me?"

"Of course not." The prince coaxed her in a gentle voice, "According to the rules, my small storehouse will be merged with my father's private storehouse, called the inner storehouse, and will be located in the Hongwen Pavilion south of the Xuanzheng Hall.

"That place is full of outside men coming and going. It would be inconvenient for you to help with the escort."

Wang Xifeng's eyes suddenly brightened: "That may not be the case!

"The Emperor promised me that I could check the treasury. Isn't that the treasury? It's impossible. Your Majesty will allow me to check the treasuries on the left and right?!"

The prince was stunned: "Huh?!"
