Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Before he finished speaking, there was the sound of dragging boots outside, and a tall and thin young man walked in.

He wore a traveling crown on his head and princely attire, had an upright figure and a handsome face, but his left eye was covered with a black cover.

Such a description...

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows slightly.

I guess this must be the fifteenth prince, Prince Zhongshen Shen Qian.

"Liangyuan Wu and Chenghui Li received the order."

Prince Shen just stood in the courtyard, and the eunuchs who accompanied him came forward to arrange the incense table and lay out the mats.

As expected, Wu Liangyuan didn't have time to put on full makeup, so she had to leave her face bare. A jade hairpin was abruptly inserted into her newly tied peony bun, but fortunately she was already wearing her formal dress.

Come out in a hurry.

Over there, Li Chenghui came out quietly, supported by Aunt Mu, and dressed up in a proper manner.

They both knelt down.

"…I hereby confer the title of Consort De on Lady Liangyuan Wu and Consort Xuanyi on Lady Chenghui. I decree this."

After the two of them finished thanking him, King Shen handed the scroll to the eunuch beside him, bowed to them with a smile, and said goodbye: "I still have two palaces to visit, so I will take my leave now."

Wu Liangyuan stood up with a smile on her face, raised her hand and took off the jade hairpin on her head, and said tenderly:

"Oh! I am now the head of the Four Concubines. I think this kind of stuff is not in accordance with etiquette. Take it away!

"Oh, by the way, Prince Shen, take care. I just wonder if I can choose the palace myself after I am crowned as your consort?

"Also, when will the headgear and other items within my grade be ready?"

Prince Shen's eyes flashed with interest: "How can I know this? You should ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

"The Prime Minister is still in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Isn't Wu Liangyuan's family quite close to him? Why don't Wu Liangyuan send someone to ask him?"

After that, leave.

He walked straight to the alley outside the courtyard, then he stopped and sighed, what a pity.

The eunuch who followed him was puzzled: "What a pity?"

"If you listen to what Concubine Wu De said, you will know that she has not heard that Wang Liangdi has become Concubine Wang Guifei.

"Besides, the affairs of the harem are still under their control.

“Dai Quan does have some friendship with the Wu family, but how can that friendship compare to the decades-long friendship he had with the ancestors of the Wang family?

"If Concubine Wu De is ignorant and really goes to ask Prime Minister Dai in a big way, it will be so noisy, wow..."

Prince Shen lamented that he could not watch the excitement and walked out leisurely.

The next stop was to go to Hanliang Palace to confer the title of Consort Rong on the Mei family - he had heard that this Mei family member was not only beautiful, but also talented, and he had known about this for a long time.

Last time New Year’s Eve was too far away, and there was another farce, so I didn’t get to watch it carefully.

Today is a good day, so I can take a closer look at it from the opposite side.

Chengxiang Hall.

Concubine Wu De really wanted to send someone to find Dai Quan.

But Aunt Wanqi refused.

To be honest, just looking at her noisy and poor-but-suddenly-rich attitude, Aunt Wanqi even had some doubts about her choice——

Is staying with the Crown Princess the best option?

On the other side, Aunt Mu helped Li Xuanyi back to her bedroom without saying a word, without even showing up.

"Didn't she congratulate me?" Concubine Wu De's anger temporarily shifted from Wang Xifeng to Li Xuanyi.

Juanjuan stood behind her and said softly, "Congratulations, and you bowed."

But his actions were small, unlike his master, who wanted to overturn the Daming Palace.

The person sent to look for Dai Quan was stopped by Aunt Wanqi, who said in a gentle voice:

“In a short while, after the emperor is settled, you will have to go to the queen’s palace with the other concubines to pay your respects to the new emperor and queen, and then go to Zhaoyang Palace to pay your respects to the queen dowager.

"So, you'd better hurry up and go back to your room and put on your headgear."

Wu Liangyuan had no choice but to follow him back to the room obediently.

Two quarters of an hour later, a female official from the Shangyi Bureau arrived and asked Wang Xifeng and the other three to come out: "Ladies, you may go to the Hanbing Palace to pay your respects to the Empress."

Wang Xifeng responded, walked out slowly and stood still.

Wu Defei also walked out quickly, laughing: "Okay, I got it, let's go!"

Following her words, Li Xuanyi also quietly appeared at the door.

The female official breathed a sigh of relief and extended her hand respectfully: "Ladies, please."

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xifeng, bowed slightly, and even intended to go forward to serve her.

Concubine Wu De was immediately annoyed: "What's wrong with you?! I am the leader of the four concubines, and I was given the title of Concubine De!

"From now on, after the Queen, I will be the next one!

"Some of these little guys are just virtuous concubines, virtuous concubines, and wise concubines. No matter what, they are inferior to me!"

Wang Xifeng said nothing, but slowly walked to her side and gently took her hand out from her sleeve.

The scroll was still in his hand.

The golden phoenix-carved head of the scroll poked Concubine Wu De.

"What are you doing!?" Concubine Wu De waved her hands impatiently.

Wang Xifeng raised her wrist to avoid her rudeness.

"Fortunately, I hid quickly. Otherwise, this imperial edict would have been thrown into the dust by you. I think it would have been more than enough to punish you for deceiving the emperor."

Wang Xifeng smiled with her lips pursed.

Concubine Wu De rolled her eyes and said, "What imperial edict? Why? You accidentally took the imperial edict that crowned the Crown Princess as Queen back to your own palace? Are you taking this opportunity to return it now?"

"This is my imperial edict. Just now, Dai Xiang's apprentice read it out in Hanyuan Hall."

Wang Xifeng smiled and poked Concubine De's shoulder with the scroll of the imperial edict. Then, without waiting for Concubine De to grab it, she handed it back to Aunt Meng.

"This is my decree of canonization. Please keep it for me, aunt."

Concubine Wu De looked at her calm and composed appearance, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so she frowned and said, "Wang, I am the leader of the four concubines, and you are trying to get ahead of me.

"What? After three years of studying, you haven't even learned the rules of respect and inferiority?

"Or are you actually given a higher rank than me?!"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Guess?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Aunt Meng, Aunt Wanqi and Aunt Mu who had been able to navigate the palace with ease for decades, but even Li Xuanyi and Concubine Wu Defei themselves, had reacted!

"You really have a higher rank than me!? What title did you receive? Could it be a noble concubine? "

Concubine Wu De's expression changed almost instantly.

Sometimes red, sometimes white, sometimes green!

"Impossible! The emperor promised my grandmother that I can walk around the palace as I please!

“My grandmother asked for the first of the four concubines, and the emperor didn’t even stutter!

“Also, I’ve never heard that when conferring titles on the concubines of the Eastern Palace, the title of Empress, Imperial Consort, and the Four Consorts would all be conferred!

"Only me! Only me!

"I am of noble birth, so I can be crowned as a concubine. You should all be Xuanyi Concubine in the same room!!!"

Concubine Wu De's mentality collapsed, she lost all her composure, and burst into tears!

Aunt Wanqi looked at her speechlessly, and apart from sighing, she didn't want to say any more advice.

It's hard to persuade a damn devil with good words!

Wang Xifeng was still smiling: "You haven't even heard what position I was given. Why are you crying and making a fuss now?"

Concubine Wu De was stunned.

Li Xuanyi was also stunned.

how?

Are you trying to trick them?!

Concubine Wu De's eyes flashed with surprise: "Why? You are not the Imperial Concubine? Your rank is lower than mine? Are you the Virtuous Concubine?!"

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed softly.

"You, please tell me quickly! You..." Concubine Wu De was almost going crazy and started to curse.

Wang Xifeng nodded slightly at this time: "You guessed it right. It's the imperial concubine.

"Moreover, the Grand Lord, the new Emperor, and the new Empress are sitting in the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace, waiting for me to kowtow to them before the ceremony ends."

Just this one sentence made Concubine Wu De so angry that she burst into tears.

The female official from the Shangyi Bureau stood by and watched coldly with her hands folded.

Aunt Meng was also watching.

The two of them met eyes in the air.

Is this the beautiful lady in your Eastern Palace, the future virtuous concubine?

Well, isn’t it interesting?

I don’t know if it makes sense or not, but I really know that I have no brains.

You will know more later.

There's more?

Ha ha.

His mother's...
