Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Imperial Physician Zhao and Imperial Physician Kong discussed the recipe for the medicinal diet, showed the names of the dishes to Nanny Duan and Mei Ranmeishu, and then sent them to the Imperial Food Bureau.

A group of people came and went in less than a quarter of an hour.

Mei Ruoqin fell down with an ugly look on her face, and soon she started sobbing.

Madam Duan stood steadily beside her bed. Just as she was about to speak, Mei Shu walked in quickly, glanced at the old madam, and without hiding anything from her, he whispered to Mei Ruoqin:

"The Imperial Concubine has gone to the side hall with two imperial doctors."

Mei Ruoqin let out a sad cry.

Nanny Duan took a deep breath and waved her hand to let Mei Shu leave.

Once again, only the master and his servant were left in the hall.

"My Lady Rongfei, your pregnancy with the Emperor is indeed a great achievement. His Majesty has conferred you the title of Rongfei for your merit.

“Concubine Wu De is of noble birth, and the Emperor promised His Majesty that he would only give her the title of concubine. You are actually doing her an injustice by standing shoulder to shoulder with her.

"No matter what the Empress is like, as long as the Emperor hasn't said she's not the Empress, she is the Queen Mother and the Empress.

“You are a concubine, not to mention that you are only four months pregnant. Even if you are about to give birth, if something happens, you have to go to Penglai Palace and kowtow.

"This is etiquette, this is a rule, and it is a commandment that everyone in the harem must bear in mind!

"The Imperial Concubine is higher in rank than you, she already has a princess and has the right to stay in the palace to assist in the administration. But she has never been disrespectful in front of the Queen.

"Empress Rong, you have been friends with the Imperial Concubine for many years, how come you can't even learn such a small benefit?"

Nanny Duan stood straight with a serious and stern expression, without a single word of sympathy.

Mei Ruoqin cried even harder and sobbed.

"My Lady Rong, the women in the harem are very good at crying. This trick didn't work on me, so I don't think it will work on the Queen or the Imperial Concubine either.

"If His Majesty is not coming, you'd better save yourself the trouble."

Madam Duan finally couldn't hold back her temper anymore, her eyes turned cold and her face darkened, "This old slave has always been in very good health.

"The day before the second wife of the Mei family entered the palace, she caught a cold.

"After I came back, I checked carefully and found that someone had opened all the windows of my room the night before and put ice in my room.

"Madam, who do you think did this?"

Mei Ruoqin's cry was choked, and she looked up at Aunt Duan in horror: "I, I don't know!"

"Oh!" Madam Duan sneered, "I came here because the Imperial Concubine asked me to come here specially. She sincerely wanted me to protect the Imperial Concubine and the heir in her belly.

“But if you don’t cherish it yourself, then no matter how much we do, it will be in vain.

"Among all the concubines, His Majesty is the one who treats you very well. This is because Mei Hanlin is his fellow apprentice.

“If the Mei family does not cherish it, then His Majesty’s favor can be withdrawn in two or three breaths.

"Madam Rongfei, this is all I have to say. Please think about it carefully."

He crossed his arms and bowed as a gesture of leaving, then turned around and strode out.

Mei Ranmei Shu, who was holding her breath and listening outside, knelt down to greet Madam Duan and said, "Madam, please calm down! Our queen is also overthinking during her pregnancy and has been thinking about things wrongly.

"But she is innocent by nature, she won't really do anything wrong..."

Nanny Duan slapped Mei Shu in the face!

The two people's pleas were interrupted in the middle.

"Do you think I can't find out who put ice in my room?

“The palace has been supplying ice since the first day of May, but only for the masters’ bedrooms!

"Where else can you get the ice for my room except from Rong Fei!?"

Nanny Duan spat on Mei Shu's face!

"If it weren't for your maternal mother's pregnancy, just based on this reason, I would tell the emperor to beat you to death!

"You still have the nerve to tell me that she is kind and innocent!?

"In this deep palace, is being kind and simple a good quality?!"

He kicked her away and strode straight to the side hall.

With tears in her eyes, Mei Ran took out her handkerchief and wiped the face of Mei Shu, who was kneeling on the ground like an idiot.

As soon as the handkerchief touched Mei Shu's face, she shrank as if awakened, then her eyes rolled back, she leaned back, and fainted on the ground!

But at this time, Mei Ran didn't dare to shout for the imperial physician. She could only bite her lips and cry silently, while pinching Mei Shu's philtrum hard.

After three or five breaths, when she slowly woke up, he covered her mouth again and cried softly:

"This is the Imperial Palace! Are you trying to kill yourself? How could you do such a crazy thing!?

"That's Nanny Duan! She was your Majesty's wet nurse! Even the Empress couldn't get rid of her!

"How can we afford to offend that person!?"

Mei Shu cried in her arms: "The Queen threatened me with her pregnancy and told me to do it. If I don't do it, I will die, right?"

Mei Ran sighed helplessly.

This kind of thing cannot be done even if a knife is placed on your neck!

The queen was just threatening, just talking, she couldn't bear to give up that belly!

"Ah Shu, the Queen has already started to go astray... If we can't persuade her to return to the right path, then we will have no choice but to die together with her..."

Mei Ran started to cry quietly.

Mei Shu was about to speak as he wiped his tears when Mei Ruoqin's unhappy voice rang out from the hall: "Someone, Mei Shu!"

Mei Ran was about to open her mouth to agree, but Mei Shu in her arms raised his hand to cover her mouth, shook his head gently, and agreed loudly: "Coming!"

She struggled to get up, but whispered in Mei Ran's ear: "The Queen asked me to go to the palace yesterday to pick out a few obedient and clever maids..."

Mei Ran was stunned.

Just because I said a few more words to Ruer, the Queen no longer trusts me, her personal maid who has served her for more than ten years?

Have you actually started to want to train someone to replace you?

——Or, do you just want to learn from the imperial concubine?

Side hall.

Nanny Duan hurried and finally caught up.

Wang Xifeng asked two imperial doctors to examine Xiaoyuan's injuries and then let them leave.

He sat with Geng Simiao leisurely, drinking tea and eating snacks, and comforted her: "Don't worry. Those who survive a disaster will surely have good fortune in the future.

"Xiao Yuan will surely grow up to be your right-hand man in the future."

She also brought a little girl from the palace and asked Auntie Tian to take her away to teach her the rules. "This child's real name is Xiaotuan.

"As soon as I saw the name, I thought it must be your girl.

"She has been in my palace for three days. She looks smart and diligent, and her face is full of joy.

"Will you stay?"

Geng Simiao smiled when he heard the name, "Great! Aunt Tian just told me that I am Xiaoyuan's maid, and according to the rules, one is missing, so she asked me to pick one that I like in the palace.

"I have a headache and can't see people clearly.

"Your Highness has solved my urgent problem!"

The two sisters were talking when Nanny Duan came in, bowed to Wang Xifeng and Geng Simiao, and then said:

"Rong Fei has overstepped her bounds. I will apologize to the Imperial Concubine on her behalf."

Wang Xifeng waved her hands hurriedly: "That's all because of me. We had an old relationship in the East Palace before, I didn't ask much of her, and she got used to it.

"Now, Madam, I see that her behavior is not in line with etiquette, so we should persuade her to change it.

"I don't have anything here. If I suffer a loss in front of others in the future, wouldn't it be unfair?"

Nanny Duan bowed her head and nodded.

After praising her for a few more sentences, he added lightly, “In fact, this old slave hopes that the imperial concubine and Geng Ronghua will get pregnant.

"If that day comes, I hope the Imperial Concubine and Ronghua will allow me to serve you!"
