Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 282 The king doesn’t see the king

Half an hour later, Shangshi Wan was sent to the Ye Ting, but his lunch was not affected at all.

So Queen Mo had finished her meal when she discovered that the person who delivered the food box was not Wan. She asked casually and found out that the person had been sent away with that reason.

Queen Mo was a little unhappy: "Maybe it was just a moment of carelessness?"

Madam Hai couldn't help but speak up: "It's just a plate of cherries, there's really no need for Wang Liang Di to make such a fuss!"

The meal for Zhaoyang Palace today was ordered by Wang Xifeng and delivered personally by Cai Xiangchun. Upon hearing this, he knelt down on both knees:

"In reply to Her Majesty the Queen:

"Wang Liang Di said that cherries are not big, so whether they are raw or ripe is not a big deal, but when fresh things enter the palace, they should be presented to the emperor and empress first, and then to the crown prince, the crown princess, the prince, and the princess.

"Mrs. Wan is just a small chef, but she has the right to skip the emperor, empress and prince and send the food directly to Hanbing Palace. This shows how arrogant she is.

"These people are stupid and stubborn. To get what they want, they will certainly take bribes. If they cannot get what they want, they will use food to frame others.

"Right now in Daming Palace, the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Princess are all taking medicine, Mei Liangyuan is pregnant and suffering from morning sickness, and the prince and princess are both young and weak, so none of them can afford to make the slightest mistake.

"If it were in the past, a person like Wan Shangshi would be punished with a few beatings to teach her a lesson; but now is a critical moment in the palace, and we really can't keep her here!"

Every point and every sentence makes more sense than ever.

Queen Mo was speechless. Thinking about it, it made sense. The first plate of fresh cherries was not given to the emperor, nor was it sent to herself. Instead, it was sent to Hanbing Palace.

Doesn't this mean that he has abandoned me and is turning to a new master? !

It's just a big flattery that hits the horse's leg!

With a cold laugh, Queen Mo waved her hands and said, "What Wang Liangdi said is very true. I am too soft-hearted!"

He never said a good word for Wan again.

Seeing this, Madam Hai could only change the subject awkwardly: "Madam, Sun Qian..."

Queen Mo looked at her with increasingly cold eyes.

"Sun Qian's bastard's nest is still empty. Wu Wei sent someone to ask, does the queen want to leave it as it is, or choose another eunuch she likes?"

Nanny Hai stopped herself from pleading for Sun Qian in time.

Queen Mo closed her eyes and lay back, saying in a leisurely voice: "I was scared by what happened last time. I will follow Your Majesty from now on, wherever Your Majesty goes, I will go.

"This Zhaoyang Palace will be returned to the owner in a few days.

“I followed the emperor to the other palace.

“I don’t need so many people around me. When the time comes, you can bring two palace maids and two eunuchs to serve me. That will be enough.

"As for the others, tell Wu Wei to return to the palace as well.

"Don't stay in Zhaoyang Palace and cause trouble for the Crown Princess. That woman is not Wang. She doesn't know how to behave. In the end, she still turned her face to me.

“I don’t look!

"I will listen to what Court Judge Zhang said. I must be open-minded and take good care of myself so that I can wait for my son to return to Beijing!"

As Queen Mo was grumbling softly, Cai Xiangchun lowered his eyes, quickly packed up the food boxes and plates, and quietly retreated.

Watching her walk away, Nanny Hai then reminded Empress Mo in a disappointed tone, "The chef Cai just now was a poor woman promoted by the Wang family!

“Those are Wang’s eyes and ears!

"Your Majesty, why don't you avoid her?"

Queen Mo stretched lazily and snorted, “I am the queen, and I am also their mother-in-law!

"If I want to criticize them, am I afraid they will hear me?

“If the prince doesn’t kiss me anymore, then it’s something that crawled out of my intestines!

"I just said a few words and made a few comments and complaints. He can't starve his mother to death for this, can he?

"Anyway, as long as I can wait patiently for Seventeen to come back, I won't be afraid of anything!

"At worst, I can just live in another palace with Seventeen and not return to the capital!"

As she spoke more and more clearly, Nanny Hai's eyes darkened and she lowered her head: "As long as you can let it go, I will be happy."

Cai Xiangchun brought two chefs out of Zhaoyang Palace and glanced hesitantly across the Taiye Lake.

Chengxiang Palace is too far away, and it would be too conspicuous to make a special trip there.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

She turned around and went straight back to the Shangshi Bureau.

The two chefs looked at each other with complicated expressions.

On a willow branch by the roadside, a shrike tilted its head and looked at Cai Xiangchun.

After a rest at noon, Wang Xifeng took He Ke to see the Yinyu Hall, and asked someone to write down He Ke's additional requests. Then she asked someone to send her to the front hall to find the prince.

He Ke was puzzled: "Don't I have to say goodbye to the Queen and the Crown Princess?"

Wang Xifeng froze: "I forgot."

After a long while, he had to get up reluctantly and accompany his daughter to Zhaoyang Palace first, and then to Hanbing Palace.

However, the last incident was too embarrassing, and the Crown Princess was unwilling to compete with Wang Xifeng in front of Tao Ge'er; and Wang Xifeng also did not want to compete openly with the Crown Princess in front of He Ke.

So the Crown Princess pretended to be unwell, lay down and "fell asleep" without seeing Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng then bowed again outside and left it at that.

Tao Ge'er was still a little flustered: "Is mother in pain again? It's all my fault. I stayed here too long and caused mother so much trouble."

Nanny Weng was very sharp-eyed and had guessed the Crown Princess' intention long ago. She took Tao Ge'er out of the bedroom and told him with a smile:

"The Crown Princess isn't hurting, she knew my brother was coming and she was so happy she didn't sleep all night.

"Didn't you see that her eyes were dark and there were little blisters at the corners of her mouth? That's because she missed you.

"Fortunately, the grand ceremony will be held in a few days. I can come and accompany the Crown Princess more often, saving her from the pain of missing her son!"

Only then was Tao Ge'er calmed down.

Turning back, he saw Wang Xifeng and He Ke still waiting outside. He smiled again, ran over to greet the two of them, and then smiled and took Wang Xifeng's hand:

"I know that Wang Liangdi's palace has the most delicious snacks. My sister always has a big bag.

“It’s a pity that we don’t study together, so I can never get enough to eat.

"Today, Wang Liang Di is here to see my sister off from the palace. Did she bring me some delicious food? If not, I will steal my sister's!"

Wang Xifeng laughed sincerely, bent down, stretched out her hand to pinch Tao Ge'er's little ear, and said jokingly:

"My brother has been studying for a few months, but he hasn't noticed anything else. But he is explaining this principle more and more clearly!"

He laughed again, "Yes! Whatever was prepared for your sister, including clothes, food, and utensils, I also prepared a portion for you.

"But the Crown Princess must have prepared something better for me. I'm afraid these little things of mine won't catch my eye!"

Tao Ge'er cheered and didn't respond to Wang Xifeng's polite words. He just rushed over and hugged the snack box given to him, smiling so hard that his teeth were exposed:

"Come on, Mammy! We both love snacks, and today we may have a feast!"
