Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Fu and the other five people also hurriedly picked up their wine glasses, all with mixed emotions on their faces.

Emperor Shengping was a romantic emperor who fell in love with every woman he met. When his harem was busiest, there were literally hundreds of concubines and beauties.

Although most of them entered the palace relatively early, they still had to fight desperately for many years before they could live peacefully and sit here today, becoming elders.

No more fighting!

Each of the five people had this thought in their mind!

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Fu said this sincerely and drank the wine in the glass as a sign of respect.

Wang Xifeng smiled and drank a cup with him, then smiled and introduced the people in the two rows on the right:

"The first one is Consort Wu De. Actually, there is no need for me to say much. Her grandmother, Princess Kangle, is a frequent visitor to the palace. I believe that all the concubines have watched Consort Wu De grow up.

"The second one is Rong Fei Mei. She is the eldest daughter of Mei Hanlin. She is elegant and virtuous, full of talent, and she was my teacher for a few days!

"She is pregnant now and is very aggressive. I usually don't dare to provoke her. But she is also very delicate and timid. His Majesty loves her, so I have to go to her every day."

Everyone chuckled.

Fu carefully looked at Mei Ruoqin, who was not yet pregnant, and joked with a smile: "Madam Mei, don't listen to the imperial concubine's scolding, you are now in your pampered period.

"You should order her around however you want. You have to order her around until she's used to it!

"When the dragon fetus in your belly is born, you have to take the child with you and serve the imperial concubine together!

"Who made her the chief housekeeper in charge of the affairs of the six palaces?"

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Mei Ruoqin also smiled generously and quietly, and bowed to Fu: "I have the support of the imperial concubine, and I will never be afraid of the imperial concubine again!"

Wang Xifeng was full of pouty anger, but she happily joined in with Fu Shi and sang the same tune: "Oh my, such a strong backer? I can't afford to offend you!"

He laughed for a while before continuing, "This one is Li Xuanyi. Her father is Li Hefeng, the chief judge of the Dali Temple. Her eldest brother-in-law is a general in Shanxi, and her second brother-in-law is a general in Hubei. She has a lot of people backing her up!"

Everyone looked at Wang Xifeng in surprise, but they also chuckled to suit the situation.

Li Xuanyi's biological mother died when he was very young. His stepmother took charge of the family. His two older sisters were married to vulgar military generals, and all the family property was left to his younger brother born to his stepmother.

But such a miserable situation, coming from Wang Xifeng's mouth, made it seem as if she had become the most favored youngest daughter in the family, extremely respectable!

Li Xuanyi's eyelids trembled slightly, and her eyes became a little red. She smiled with her lips pursed, a slight blush on her face, and bowed politely to the concubines opposite her as a greeting.

There are few people in the capital who don’t know the story that in the family of the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, there is both a stepmother and a stepfather, let alone these women who are bored all day long in the deep palace?

Of course, everyone has heard a few words about it.

There was much more pity in the eyes of Fu and others when they looked at Li Xuanyi.

Wang Xifeng went on to say: "The three people standing next to each other are Geng Ronghua, Sang Ronghua and Shi Ronghua. They are all from military families, but each one is more elegant and quiet than the other.

"Shi Ronghua is a kind person who often worships Buddha and has a compassionate heart. He will not easily get angry with others."

Fu and others were a little surprised when they saw that Wang Xifeng did not introduce the families of these three people in detail.

Unexpectedly, Wu Defei sneered in front and said, "What kind of compassion? She is just a barbarian, unfamiliar with Han etiquette, so she uses worshipping Buddha as a cover!"

He was born into a barbarian family and his surname was Shi.

Several concubines looked at each other in understanding. It turned out that she was the daughter of Shi Yan, the general of Mianyang, Sichuan, who had naturalized during the time of Emperor Kangxi!

Wang Xifeng smiled and glanced at Concubine Wu De, saying in a very warm tone, "Sister Concubine De, your origin is more noble than that of all of us sisters.

"Seriously speaking, you are the only one who is a royal relative.

"This world belongs to the Shen family, to the blood relatives of the Shen family, and to the people of the world.

"You are not only a royal relative, but also His Majesty's concubine, so you should have a broader vision and a broader mind!

“If they are barbarians or not, maybe three years ago, I, an illiterate person, could have mentioned it a few times, and after being slapped a few times, I would have remembered that I shouldn’t have mentioned it.

"But sister Defei, you must not bring this up.

"Why don't you comfort Sister Shi Ronghua?"

Wu Defei bit her lip because of her provocation, but she also knew that she was caught by someone for her bad mouth again. Even though her eyes were red, she had to force a smile:

“I spoke too quickly.

“General Shi’s biological mother is actually a noble lady from Chang’an. I heard that the whole family recited the Four Books and Five Classics, and many of their children passed the imperial examinations.

"Shi Ronghua, don't mind. Sister is accompanying you, right?"

Shi Ronghua lowered her eyes and whispered softly, "Sister Defei, you are too kind. I am indeed from the Qiang tribe, a barbarian.

"It is just that the heart that is devoted to Buddhism and goodness does not distinguish between Han and barbarians.

"I am a Qiang, a citizen of Dayong, and even more so, a concubine of your majesty. I follow Buddhism, do good deeds, and have compassion in order to be more worthy of my status.

"My sister is not afraid of what people say, nor is she afraid of people laughing."

He actually confronted him back in person!

The smile on Concubine Wu De's face suddenly disappeared. She felt ashamed and angry, and she wanted to have a good fight with her immediately!

Wang Xifeng interrupted her with a smile: "Oh my, this is the longest speech Sister Shi has ever made since she entered the palace!

"Lady Zhou, Lady Yang, you three are together every day, you know her best, right?"

Zhou, who had been lying in bed for three years, and Yang, who had been well-polished by Wang Xifeng, both smiled and responded, "Yes, yes, yes. The Imperial Concubine is right!"

Fu's eyes fell accurately on Concubine Zhou: "Is this the one who entered the palace three years ago, then got injured and lay in bed for three years?

"So the Empress took the concubines of the Eastern Palace to the Da Ci'en Temple to pray for blessings. When the Crown Prince was offering sacrifices, she woke up?"

Wang Xifeng chuckled: "Concubine Fu has a keen eye. It is exactly Sister Zhou.

“She lay there for a long time, without moving.

"The emperor felt sorry for her, but didn't know how to treat her, so he sent her to the Buddhist temple in the East Palace at that time, so that she could be with the Bodhisattva.

“Before the Empress Dowager and the Emperor went to the Da Ci’en Temple, our Concubine Mei Rong also went there to worship Buddha. It was at that time that Sister Zhou opened her eyes.

"Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky that time, so I fell asleep again afterwards.

"Then when the Empress Dowager and the Emperor personally arrived at the Da Ci'en Temple, our most blessed sister, Zhou, not only woke up at that very moment, but was also able to walk around!"

Several imperial concubines, especially the oldest one, Quan, immediately put their palms together and said, "Amitabha! Good, good!"
