Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Xifeng was extremely satisfied with Emperor Chongzhao's remedy. On the day she received the news, she ordered an extra dish of sturgeon cooked with wine lees to be served to Emperor Chongzhao, and she also specifically told Qinghai to serve him a glass of Biluochun after the meal.

At the same time, the Mei family also sent a message in, asking to see Concubine Rong of the Mei family.

Mei Ruoqin did not sleep well that day. The next morning, with dark circles under her eyes, she asked Wang Xifeng to come over and said listlessly that she wanted to see her family.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and asked her, "Do you want to see your mother? Or do you want to see someone else?"

Mei Ruoqin's eyes were instantly filled with tears. She bit her lip and hesitated for a while before saying, "To be honest, I don't want to see my mother. I want to see my aunt and my younger brother..."

Wang Xifeng waited quietly for her decision.

But at the end, Mei Ruoqin still cried and added her mother: "Please ask them to come together."

Wang Xifeng nodded and agreed.

After returning to Yinyu Palace, he checked the date and reported to Empress Mo.

Queen Mo was very happy and said with a smile: "I was just saying, how can a pregnant woman not miss her mother?"

Wang Xifeng looked at her expression, gave a polite smile, and said goodbye.

However, after returning to Yinyu Hall, he sat in front of the window for a while, then called Jingli and asked him to quietly invite Qinghai over.

Qinghai was puzzled. After much thought, he decided to tell Emperor Chongzhao and then took advantage of the cloudy night to see Wang Xifeng.

"Even if we don't report the Mei family's affairs to the emperor and cause him trouble, Eunuch Qing should be aware of it, right?"

Qinghai looked at Wang Xifeng with a slightly stern expression, and restrained his usual casual attitude when he was happy and smiled, and answered seriously:

"Yes. I know the general situation."

"I don't know what message the Mei family sent to Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong didn't sleep most of the night before. Today she told me that she wanted to invite her mother, aunt, and younger brother to the palace for a gathering.

"I would like to ask Eunuch Qing, is there anything happening in the Mei family recently that requires Concubine Rong's help?" Wang Xifeng stared into Qinghai's eyes.

"The master of the second branch of the Xue family had an accident while traveling abroad. The boat he was on capsized, and neither the goods nor the servants were rescued.

"The Mei family wants to cancel the engagement." Qinghai told her the matter happily.

Wang Xifeng was shocked: "When did this happen?!"

"Seven days after your father came to Beijing." Qing Hai bowed slightly, "I also got the news the afternoon before yesterday.

"Yesterday morning, the Wang family, the Xue family, and the Mei family learned about this almost at the same time. The Mei family immediately sent a letter to the palace."

Wang Xifeng fell silent.

In other words, my father, mother and aunt did not intend to let me get involved in this matter.

"After this incident, if the Mei family cancels the engagement, wouldn't that be adding insult to injury?" Wang Xifeng frowned, "Does Mei Hanlin not want his reputation anymore?"

"So it was Madam Mei who came forward, probably to beg Concubine Rong to ask Concubine Gui to let you be the villain."

Qinghai sighed softly.

Wang Xifeng was slightly stunned, then she laughed softly: "No wonder no one in my family told me. They were afraid that I would be embarrassed."

Qinghai bowed without saying anything.

Wang Xifeng sighed softly: "The two children are only six or seven years old, why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it better to wait and see whether they can succeed or not?"

Qing Hai sighed after hearing this: "Yes! His Majesty said so too! His Majesty also said that the Mei family is a little too eager for quick success..."

"Mei Hanlin has always been a gentle person, and Rong Fei has also been taught by him to have a pure and noble character."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but look at Qinghai, puzzled, "What happened to him that made him become like this?"

Qinghai was speechless. He looked at Wang Xifeng intently, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he closed his mouth and lowered his head.

So, there was indeed something going on, but Qinghai didn't dare to say it without Emperor Chongzhao's permission.

Wang Xifeng nodded in understanding: "Okay, thank you, I understand. I will wait for the Mei family to talk to me about this matter, otherwise I will pretend that I don't know."

Qinghai breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to take his leave.

Wang Xifeng casually took a tumbler from the shelf and handed it to Qinghai: "Our Princess Wuling sent in quite a few from outside to entertain He Ke.

"This one is for you to play with!"

Qing Hai looked at it with delight, smiling broadly: "This is a good sign!"

"Oh!" Wang Xifeng also laughed, "Then I will pray here that Eunuch Qing will never fall!"

Qinghai happily took the tumbler and left.

As soon as he left, Wang Xifeng's face darkened.

An'er came over and asked her quietly, "My Lady, are you still going to Qinghui Pavilion these days?"

"I don't know if Concubine Rong knows the purpose of her family entering the palace, and I can't predict whether she will really follow her family's words to embarrass me."

Wang Xifeng recalled that in her previous life, when Xue Ke and Xue Baoqin came to Beijing, Mei Hanlin was not in the capital but was assigned to an external post.

It is hard to say whether this is Mei Hanlin's way of avoiding this marriage.

"In this case, I will not convict her right now." Wang Xifeng said leisurely, looking out the window, "But I will not wrong myself to appease her.

"Tomorrow morning, go to Qinghui Pavilion in person and tell them that I have already informed Liu Shang. If they want anything to eat or play with, just go and get it.

“As for me, I haven’t seen my parents for a long time, and my mood has been fluctuating. I have been a little moody recently, so I will not bother Concubine Rong for the time being.

"Wait until she meets her family. If she has anything to say, it won't be too late to pass it on to me."

An'er agreed, but then took a cautious step closer and whispered:

“The fact that you and His Majesty have not yet consummated your marriage has not spread outside the palace, so the master and his wife don’t know about it.

“But you have to do it quickly.

"Otherwise, if they hear about this someday, I'm afraid you'll be beaten with a stick by the Madam!"

Wang Xifeng laughed.

An'er didn't know that Chunnuan, Chunsheng and others were arranged by Wang Ziteng. All the matters in the palace, big or small, were probably on Wang Ziteng's desk.

However, An'er's words reminded Wang Xifeng: Why did her father and mother turn a blind eye to this matter? Don't they mind that she won't be able to have children in the future?

"What's the big deal?" Yuan was very open-minded. "I was also late in getting pregnant, especially when Feng'er was born, I was already 26 years old.

"She's only seventeen this year, her body hasn't grown fully yet! I wish she would wait another three years before considering pregnancy!"

Wang Zifu frowned for a while and said nothing.

He didn't mind whether his daughter had children or not - with his daughter's personality, being a queen would be very tiring, and it would be better for her to be a concubine that no one dared to mess with.

But he would mind Emperor Chongzhao's attitude.

"Above the rank of Imperial Concubine, besides the Empress, there is only one Imperial Concubine.

"The Emperor made Feng'er a royal concubine and treated us with respect when he met us, which shows that he is satisfied with Feng'er.

"Our Feng'er is not ugly...

"Then why doesn't the emperor favor Feng'er?

"——Are you still on guard against my Wang family?!"

Wang Zifu felt a little unhappy.
