Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

The matter was suppressed silently.

There are three days left before the grand ceremony.

The people in the rear hall of Daming Palace were almost holding their breath waiting for the big news to happen.

On this day, the imperial physician announced to both Queen Mo and the Crown Princess: "Although they have not recovered, their bodies are strong enough to support the ceremony."

The emperor's concubines and the prince's concubines all went to their respective mistresses to congratulate them.

The Crown Princess also gritted her teeth, stood up, dressed herself up, and went to the Zhaoyang Palace to kowtow with all the concubines who came to kowtow to her.

When Queen Mo saw the Crown Princess' pale face, she knew that she was similar to herself and was just holding on.

He chuckled, leaned against the soft pillow, and spoke slowly and dignifiedly: "Forget it, you have been sick for so long, get up quickly."

Order: "Please take a seat."

The palace maid brought a round stool to the Crown Princess, and Gan Lan helped her sit down carefully.

"The last time we met was on New Year's Eve. You took a long time to recover from your injury. It seems that you were seriously injured at that time.

"Are they really all well now?"

Queen Mo's face was full of concern.

The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief, smiled sincerely, and answered truthfully, "Thank you, mother, for asking.

"My son's injury has almost healed. The imperial physician said that as long as I don't walk or do strenuous activities, I think it shouldn't be a big problem."

Queen Mo nodded deeply: "That's good.

"You are still young, so don't try to be stubborn. You must heal your wounds in one go.

"Don't worry that there's no one to serve the prince. Look at these fresh and tender girls in the East Palace. They will slowly learn how to serve the prince.

"The emperor told me the other day that when the prince ascends the throne, things will go smoothly. Next spring, while the emperor and I are still strong, let the prince select another group of sons and daughters.

"This way, the emperor and I can put this big worry aside."

The Crown Princess' body froze almost instantly.

Wang Xifeng stood by and watched her state, and couldn't help but curl her lips: You're going to be the queen in three days, and you can't even see through such things?

It is true that a rotten tree cannot be carved.

Concubine Zhen, who was sitting next to Queen Mo and opposite the Crown Princess, was also carefully observing the expressions of everyone. She glanced at Wang Xifeng and saw that she was pouting and there was a hint of smile in her eyes.

I thought this person was so scheming, but who knew she was just a lively girl with seven emotions!

It seems that all my previous worries were unnecessary.

"It's all because of my incompetence. All these years, there is only one Tao Ge'er and his sister. Fortunately, Mei Liangyuan is pregnant now, which can be regarded as a double happiness for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The Crown Princess lowered her eyes and spoke perfunctorily.

Queen Mo looked at her with a cold look in her eyes. She smiled and raised her eyes: "Speaking of this, I haven't taken a good look at Mei Liangyuan yet! Who is it?"

Mei Ruoqin hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt down one step to the left of the Crown Princess: "I am the Crown Princess Mei, and I greet the Queen! May the Queen be blessed with good fortune and good health!"

Queen Mo hurriedly ordered him to stand up: "Come, come, come, I'm old, my eyesight is a little blurry, I can't see clearly when you are far away."

Mei Ran helped Mei Ruoqin to stand up, walked over with light lotus steps, and stood about seven steps away from Queen Mo.

Queen Mo stretched out her hand and smiled lovingly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, come here quickly and let me take a closer look!"

Mei Ruoqin had no choice but to take Queen Mo's hand, take two more steps, and lower her head in shame.

Queen Mo looked at her features and praised her with a smile, "She is so pretty and elegant, and that is exactly what the prince loves the most!

"You should take good care of the prince and give birth to a child. I will reward you handsomely when the child is born!"

Mei Ruoqin agreed softly.

Empress Mo still held her tightly, thought for a moment, then turned to ask Concubine Zhen, "What is the relationship between this Mei and the man in the Hanlin Academy who is good at painting plum blossoms?"

This question should have been asked to the Crown Princess, but it was asked to Concubine Zhen. Everyone looked over in surprise.

Mei Ruoqin herself looked up in surprise.

"The Queen has a good memory. Mei Liangyuan is the eldest daughter of Mr. Mei." Zhen calmly waved her fan, smiled, and looked at Mei Ruoqin.

"I really liked the plum blossom paintings your father made in his early years, and I asked Your Majesty for several of them.

“I just don’t know what happened in the past two years. His style of painting, which was always elegant and fragrant, has become cold and indifferent.

"Could it be that he is angry because he misses his beloved eldest daughter so much after she entered the palace and he cannot see her anymore?"

The explanations were thorough, the topics changed smoothly, the jokes were inoffensive, and the greetings were handled with exceptional appropriateness.

Mei Ruoqin's eyebrows moved slightly, and she continued to stand beside the queen with her head down, motionless, and whispered softly: "I haven't seen my father's paintings for a long time, so I didn't notice this."

“Although I entered the palace, my surname is still Mei, and I am still the daughter of the Mei family. After the ceremony, when there is nothing to do in the palace, I will still visit my parents’ family.

"For such a big happy event like yours," Concubine Zhen smiled and pointed at Mei Ruoqin's belly with the handle of her fan, "you should definitely meet your family and accept their congratulations."

When the Crown Princess heard this, she suddenly curled her lips and interrupted, "What Empress Zhen said is very true.

"I have been ill for a while, so I have neglected this."

She was also angry at Wang Xifeng, "Wang Liang Di, too! You have always been on good terms with Mei Liangyuan, so why didn't you arrange for Madam Mei to come in and meet Mei Liangyuan?

"What daughter wouldn't miss her mother when she's pregnant?"

So, are they going to work together to bring the unreliable lady of the Mei family into the palace and let her piss off Mei Ruoqin?

Wang Xifeng was all smiles, blaming herself: "It's all my fault. I am powerless and busy, and I didn't even think of such an important matter!

"I will follow the Crown Princess's instructions. When things calm down, please ask Madam Mei to come to the palace to comfort Mei Liangyuan."

Mei Ruoqin lowered her head and said nothing.

Queen Mo noticed that her hands were shaking slightly, and she immediately raised her head and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, it's only two or three months away, why rush?"

He loosened his hand, but patted Mei Ruoqin again, "Good child, just take care of the baby and don't worry about anything else.

"Even if the Crown Princess returns to continue recuperating from her injuries, I am still here!"

He immediately ordered Madam Hai to fetch a box of precious medicinal herbs: "Here are the good things I found in my storehouse. Take them back and have the imperial physician examine them. Use them as needed. Don't save money for the prince!"

Mei Ruoqin thanked him gratefully, her voice choked slightly.

Queen Mo gave her a seat again, and then smiled at Concubine Zhen and said, "How dare you worry about others?

"After being in the palace for more than ten years, it's up to you if you don't have children.

"But you haven't taken good care of your body!

"This morning the imperial physician came to check my pulse, and I asked about it. I heard that you have been having problems recently. What happened?"

Concubine Zhen covered half of her face with a round fan and smiled sheepishly: "I am not ill... I just can't sleep well.

“I don’t know why, but the birds in the palace have been very noisy lately.

"There is a bird's nest on the back window of my bedroom. A nest of little birds was born this spring. Now they make noises until late at night every day..."

"Maybe they are arguing about dividing the family." Queen Mo sneered.

Everyone lowered their heads quietly.

Separation of the family...
