Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

After a few more talks and introductions, the remaining Noble Lady Song, Noble Lady Deng and others were introduced. Three rounds of wine had already been served and the opera theater was performing songs and dances. Everyone quieted down and ate and watched, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

After a moment, when she found out that it was almost the evening hour, Wang Xifeng leaned over and asked Concubine Zhen with a smile, "Your Majesty, you have been sitting for a long time. Are you tired?"

Concubine Zhen looked at her.

The young and beautiful woman had a fake smile on her face and her eyes were filled with impatience.

"I have plenty of it, but I have to follow the Supreme to the other palace early tomorrow morning, so I still need to go back and pack up a little."

Concubine Zhen also gave a fake smile, "I'll make room for you."

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes narrowed with smiles: "Linzhao Palace is far away, His Majesty feels sorry for us and doesn't allow us to live there.

"Don't worry, that palace is reserved for you. When the Lord is willing to let the concubines and imperial concubines return, you can live there again."

So, who knows how the Emperor will arrange the concubines and empresses?

What kind of ability is it to say such sour words at this time?

If you have the ability, ask the Supreme to allow you to live in the original place!

Concubine Zhen forced a smile, turned away and no longer made eye contact with her.

Wang Xifeng also smiled, raised her glass again, and said a farewell speech to Concubine Zhen and the other concubines: "...I wish you all a safe journey."

The banquet gradually ended.

Everyone returned to their own palaces, but Wang Xifeng went to Zhaoyang Palace alone to kowtow to Empress Dowager Mo and tell her about what happened at the banquet. She then went to Hanbing Palace alone to report the same thing to Empress Mo.

Empress Dowager Mo had already heard the story, and she looked at Wang Xifeng with amusement and said with a smile: "When your cousin was here before, I occasionally saw her talking to Zhen.

“But most of the time, it was your cousin who had to swallow her anger because of the master-servant relationship.

"I never expected that you are three or four years younger than your cousin, and you have never had a grandfather or a mother to teach you the ways of the world, but you are much smarter and more experienced than your cousin.

"That bitch Zhen can't get any benefit at all under your hands! This really makes me happy!

"If I had known this would happen, I would not have asked your cousin to come to my side. I would have invited you to the Zhaoyang Palace to be a female historian!"

Wang Xifeng lowered her head and said she dared not.

Queen Mother Mo ordered Nanny Hai to bring her a set of pearl head ornaments: "This is your reward for being promoted to Imperial Concubine.

“This thing is actually quite old-fashioned. It was a set from a box of jewels given to me by the Supreme Being when I was crowned as the Queen.

"But there's a beautiful pearl crown inside, it's perfect for you little girls."

Wang Xifeng knelt down hurriedly to express her gratitude, and sincerely asked the empress dowager to take care of herself, and was polite for a long time.

When she left Zhaoyang Palace, both Queen Mother Mo and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Empress Mo was different. She looked at her kneeling and talking with a fake smile, but she didn't call her to stand up. After she finished talking, she scolded Aunt Han for not reminding her:

"You were just crowned as a noble concubine, and yet you broke your leg kneeling in my palace. How can that be tolerated?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and ignored the words, but she had someone present the pearl headdress that the empress dowager had awarded her, with a face full of fake loyalty and courage that was disgusting:

"This is a gift from the Queen Mother. How can I be worthy of such a good thing? I'd better give it to the Queen instead!"

Queen Mo couldn't help but ask someone to bring the thing closer for a closer look. She even reached out and fiddled with the pearl crown. Then she smiled and opened her mouth, and saw Aunt Han staring at her.

He immediately put down his hand in dismay and said sourly, "This is because the Queen Mother loves you. You should take it out and wear it properly, so that the Queen Mother and the Emperor will be happy to see it.

"I also received a reward from the Queen Mother, a set of ruby ​​head ornaments, which is much more valuable than yours."

——I don’t know why she said this last sentence.

Wang Xifeng declined twice before she stood up and said goodbye.

After leaving Hanbing Palace, An'er asked Aunt Meng in a puzzled voice: "You are already the Queen, and you have seen the things the Queen Mother gave you. Why didn't you follow the Queen Mother and give her some rewards?"

"People who come from poor families either don't have good things or they just don't think they should be rewarded at this time."

Aunt Meng also whispered to her, "The most terrible thing is that if she doesn't reward the six palaces, our queen will not be able to bypass her to send things down.

"When your majesty ascended the throne, it was supposed that all six palaces should be given titles and rewards. Now that titles have been given, the reward was originally reserved for the queen.

"If she doesn't do it, our queen won't do it either. It's not just them who will lose face, but also the emperor..."

An'er nodded in understanding.

Wang Xifeng glared at the two of them and said, "Why don't you go back and talk about all this? Why do you have to go outside and let others hear it? What a mess!"

Aunt Meng touched her nose and turned away in embarrassment.

An Er counted on her fingers and said, "The decree to confer the title of Princess Heke on Princess Heke and the title of Prince Duan on Prince Duan must have reached them by now.

"When we get back, we must be ready to take the princess to the palace.

"We must get up early tomorrow morning and escort the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Concubines out of the palace.

"I have to pack up again when I come back and prepare to move to the palace.

"Once I step into Chengxiang Palace, I don't know how many things I will be busy with. I am afraid that I won't even have time to talk to you, let alone ask you about these things!

"——Besides, Ru'er is under house arrest, and the job of passing messages outside is now mine and my aunt's job. Madam, our legs and waists are about to break!"

Wang Xifeng laughed as she listened, and threw her handkerchief at her: "Why don't you just shut up and take a break! You still have so much to chew on!"

Sure enough, when Wang Xifeng returned to the main hall of Chengxiang Palace, all kinds of things came to her mind.

Everyone immediately became busy.

In fact, all the palaces are similar, and the Daming Palace has become quieter.

Because the emperor and the queen mother would not leave the palace until the next day, the new emperor insisted on sleeping in the side hall of the Purple Palace that night:

"I have never had the opportunity to help you sleep, father. I beg you to let me fulfill my filial duty for once."

Thinking of his dozen sons growing up, only the Crown Prince and the former youngest sons, Prince Su, Prince Shen, and Prince Xiaoyao, had ever slept on the same bed with him;

The emperor hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

That night, the father and son talked together, crying and laughing, until they fell into a deep sleep after three o'clock in the morning.

Unexpectedly, when Tai Shang woke up the next morning, he had a stuffy nose and a heavy head, as if he had a cold.

When the new emperor was about to summon the imperial physician, he was stopped by the Supreme Lord: "It's not a big deal, just keep warm and have a good sleep and you'll be fine.

"Don't worry. In order to see your mother, isn't Judge Zhang going to the other palace with you?

"Someone will take care of me."

The new emperor refused to listen to the emperor's advice, so he had to call Zhang Yuanpan to give him instructions and repeatedly remind him to take good care of the emperor, etc.

At five o'clock in the morning, the city gate was opened and Tai Shang headed southwest.

A large group of people left the Daming Palace in a mighty and vigorous manner and slowly headed towards the other palaces in Zhongnan Mountain.

Wang Xifeng and others escorted him to the palace gate, and the new emperor to the city gate, but they were all stopped and sent back: "Just rule the country and live a good life."
