Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Geng Ronghua looked up and saw that it was her. He stood up in surprise and opened his mouth to shout as usual:

"phoenix……"

After a pause, he blushed, bowed his head, knelt down, and saluted in a shy manner, saying, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Majesty.

"There is no small kitchen in Daming Palace, and I don't like to go out. Fortunately, Aunt Tian, ​​who was specially pointed out to me by the Imperial Concubine, is very good at sewing. So I asked her to teach me needlework, and I made up for the previous lessons!"

Wang Xifeng had already stepped forward to help her up, and the two of them walked to the table hand in hand and sat down. Xiaoyuan then happily brought up some tea and snacks.

Wang Xifeng looked at her with a smile, nodded, and said to Geng Ronghua with a smile:

"Didn't you love to tune the piano in the past? I remember your piano skills were as good as Rong Fei's. Why don't you play anymore?"

Geng Ronghua was silent for a moment.

Xiaoyuan was about to open her mouth.

Geng Ronghua hurriedly asked Xiao Yuan: "The imperial concubine likes sweet food, didn't we just ask the Imperial Food Bureau to make some candied fruit for Sister Mei yesterday?

"Why don't you go get it for the Imperial Concubine to taste?"

Xiaoyuan responded reluctantly and then left.

Wang Xifeng looked at her and smiled, "Look at your memory. When you made the candied fruit yesterday, didn't you give one to Concubine Rong as well as one to me?

"You have to send Xiaoyuan away, are you afraid that she will say something and make me angry?"

Geng Ronghua blushed again, bit his lip, and whispered, "It's none of other people's business, it's my own fault.

“In the early years, when that one was pregnant, she couldn’t bear to hear me play the piano.

"Besides, Sister Mei's pregnancy is not going well and she always has trouble sleeping at night.

“Even though she didn’t mention it, and no one in the main hall talked about it, I can’t just think about myself!

"Besides, it's not like I won't play it anymore in the future, I just want to stop playing it for a while.

"Now I can calm down and learn needlework, especially since Auntie Tian's family is the inheritor of Shu embroidery. Isn't it great for me to learn this exquisite craft?"

Wang Xifeng didn't take it seriously, she just patted her hands and said softly, "Think about it, we three came from that situation back then.

"Concubine Rong and I are both doing well now. If you are unhappy about something, don't keep it to yourself like you did before.

“At worst, I can ask for permission on behalf of Concubine Rong to let her live in Qinghui Pavilion alone, so that it will be convenient for her to raise children in the future.

"I'll find you another place to live and a beautiful, quiet and easy-going woman."

As long as they were lower in rank than Geng Ronghua, they wouldn't have the confidence to cause trouble. It would be fine if everyone lived in peace.

Geng Ronghua remained silent for a long time before he choked up and said, "I can't bear to leave.

"The three of us carefully overcame so many obstacles and made it through despite all the bumps and bruises.

"Now that you are the Imperial Concubine, and Sister Mei has been promoted to Imperial Concubine Rong and is pregnant, why are you becoming distant?

“What about after that?

"If she gave birth to a prince, and you and I were pregnant, would the three of us have to kill each other for the sake of the children's future?

"Then what's the difference between us and the Li and Gu families that we despised before?!"

Geng Ronghua began to sob.

Wang Xifeng was speechless.

After a long while, he slowly said: "There are many people in this world who can share adversity, but not wealth."

After a pause, he asked in a gentle voice, "Seriously, do you want to move out?

"Today, Concubine Rong's mother, aunt, brother, and sister came into the palace together. Her cousin has asked the Queen for permission to stay and look after her.

“She just told me herself that her cousin is not a simple person.

"You are soft-hearted and you are on good terms with her. I am afraid that if something happens, you will get impulsive and put yourself in trouble."

Geng Ronghua was silent for a while, then hesitantly shook his head: "Maybe not?"

Wang Xifeng patted her hands and sighed, "I just hope I'm just worrying too much..."

Geng Ronghua smiled and held her hand, saying softly, "Thank you, Concubine, for thinking of me."

"Actually..." Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Do you want to get closer to His Majesty? There are more and more people in the palace, and there is no guarantee that there won't be some who bully the weak and fear the strong.

"I am enjoying the glory now, but if the emperor gets angry one day, he might not be able to protect you. You still have to be able to protect yourself."

Geng Ronghua was about to mention Rong Fei, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words back.

She wasn't sure anymore.

In the morning, people from the Mei family came, all of them were arrogant. When Rong Fei's mother met Aunt Tian, ​​she wanted to order her to do this and that.

She thought it was a trivial matter and didn't take it seriously. She asked Xiaoyuan to send a plate of pastries to Mei Ruoqin as usual.

But Xiaoyuan came back crying and said that Rong Fei's mother had given all the cakes to the palace maids who did the cleaning, and also said something like "One must always be on guard against others."

The most chilling thing is that Concubine Rong didn’t say a word.

No one explained it to her when it happened, and no one came to explain it to her after it happened.

Until now, the imperial concubine who came to have dinner felt something was wrong and asked herself.

Can I still count on Sister Mei?

Geng Ronghua lowered his head.

"Think about it yourself. Send someone to tell me anytime. I can move you out at any time."

Wang Xifeng asked her to think it over carefully.

After leaving Qinghui Pavilion, Chunnuan looked at Wang Xifeng's expression, which was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry, and asked carefully:

"Would you like to know what happened here today?"

Wang Xifeng kept walking forward without saying anything. When she was almost entering the gate of Yinyu Hall, she simply said one word: "Check."

Chunnuan agreed softly, and after entering the hall, she whispered a few words to Chuncao and left quietly.

Wang Xifeng was in a bad mood today, and everyone in the palace noticed it, so everyone was much more cautious in their actions.

The lights were turned off early in the evening and everyone went to bed in fear.

When it was almost two o'clock in the morning, a sudden fluttering sound was heard from the inner hall, accompanied by the shrill cries of cats and birds!

Everyone was shocked, and An'er even opened the palace door directly: "My Queen!"

Wang Xifeng appeared in front of her with a cold face, grabbed Wu Jin by the back of the neck with one hand, and threw him out: "Starve him for three days!"

An'er hurriedly caught Wu Wu Jin and held him in his arms. He looked inside and saw colorful bird feathers all over the floor...

Well, this is a fight with Jin Ercai, bullying the bird.

An'er nodded in agreement, holding Wu Jin and taking two steps back, watching Wang Xifeng close the palace door again.

"Look at you, you've got into trouble, haven't you? Just when the queen is unhappy...

"The Queen said she wants to starve you, I dare not feed you. Otherwise, you go to the Shangshi Bureau?

"There are probably not many people in this palace who don't recognize you. It's more convenient for you to get food outside than here..."

Wu Jin endured and listened to An'er's long nagging, then ran away happily.

The bird has already found out half of the affairs of Qinghui Pavilion, and now it has to find out the other half.

Inside the palace, Wang Xifeng's expression softened a lot: "Since Concubine Rong still cares about our friendship and is unwilling to frame me, then I will still recognize her as my friend!"

Jin Ercai was hanging on the shelf, dying: "But she didn't warn you..."

"She must have known that no one else would let me fall into the trap except herself. That's why she didn't warn me, to avoid me killing people, and instead let this matter become a knot between the two of us."

Wang Xifeng smiled.

Jin Ercai blinked his eyes: "So, you let the Mei family go?"

"When did I say I would let the Mei family go?"
