Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Inner house.

Wang Xifeng walked in step by step, feeling a little dazed.

In her previous life, she was the head daughter-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, and she had to attend all the social events. Especially after Keqing's funeral, her reputation for being capable spread throughout the inner court of the capital.

She has been to Nanfu countless times.

New Year's Day, birthday banquets, flower shows, small gatherings, and so on.

Although the Concubine Nan'an is older in seniority, she is a dozen years younger than Lady Jia, so her hair is still dark blue.

But her only grandson died at such a young age, which really broke her heart. So within two or three hours, a few strands of white hair appeared on her temples!

She immediately sat at the top, hugging her frightened five-year-old great-grandson, sobbing with tears in her eyes, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Not to mention Princess Nan'an and the Crown Prince's wife, who had already collapsed to the ground crying and could no longer struggle.

When Wang Xifeng entered the backyard, she saw a real mess. Several close imperial eunuchs who had come to accompany her were just sitting there doing nothing, and not even a cup of hot tea had been served to them.

Seeing her walk in, everyone hurriedly reminded the three female masters of the Nan Mansion: "The Imperial Concubine is here in person!"

The three people subconsciously struggled to stand up and instinctively saluted Wang Xifeng: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Highness!"

Wang Xifeng hurried a few steps and stepped forward to personally help the Nan'an Concubine up: "Please stand up, Concubine. Please accept my condolences..."

As she spoke, she choked up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "If the prince knew about your condition, I wonder how distressed and regretful he would be..."

regret?!

Wouldn't you regret it?

This person who was always self-controlled somehow got drunk outside, kicked the driver off, stood on the shaft, and whipped the horse and ran away...

As a result, on a deserted street, his cart overturned, his horse ran away, he broke his neck, and died on the spot...

If he had been a little more cautious, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing!

The Concubine Nan'an, the Princess and the Crown Prince's Consort were all filled with resentment, and they didn't know who to vent it on.

"Who did you go drinking with?" Wang Xifeng helped the tearful concubine sit down and couldn't help asking, complaining, "The drinking companion was also a jerk. How could he watch the prince leave like this?"

Everyone looked at each other and kept their mouths shut.

Wang Xifeng looked at the Crown Prince's Consort in surprise: "Who did he go with? I will report to His Majesty and scold him severely!"

The Crown Princess' face turned pale and she lowered her head and covered her face, crying.

The old concubine clenched her fists and pounded them on the table, bang bang bang. Her eyes were red and tears were flowing, but she couldn't utter a word.

Finally helpless, the princess sighed and cried, "My disappointing son went to Aiwanlou to drink wine..."

Was it caused by visiting a brothel?

No wonder the Crown Princess was so angry...

Wang Xifeng sighed deeply and shook her head, "Prince Nan has only been away from the capital for a few days? The Crown Prince is really..."

The person is already dead, what else can be done?

Wang Xifeng had no choice but to comfort the Concubine Dowager and the Princess, saying that the little boy looked like a smart kid and that the Crown Prince would have someone to succeed him.

The accompanying group of imperial edicts gradually received the notice from outside that the emperor had entrusted the funeral of Prince Nan's Palace to Prince Fu, the biological father of the Concubine Wang in front of him, the former confidant of the deposed prince, who was just a small official in the Ministry of Rites during the day and was now promoted to Yuanwailang by taking the opportunity.

Everyone couldn't help whispering.

Wang Xifeng pricked up her ears and knew what they were talking about. She took the concubine's hand and said softly:

"On the way here, His Majesty asked me about the origins of our families. He told me then that there is no male head of the Nan Mansion at home, and I am afraid that everything will be inconvenient.

"Just now I listened carefully to the rumors that my father was transferred to the Qingli Division to take charge of the Crown Prince's funeral affairs?"

Everyone thought to themselves, "What a thief's ears!", but they could only force a smile and say "yes".

Wang Xifeng then said to the Nan'an Concubine, "You have watched my father grow up since he was young, and you know his character and behavior very well.

"If there is anything going on at home, tell him about it. Don't get yourself into trouble and get anxious in the inner house.

"Please take good care of yourself. Now that Prince Nan is back, we will have someone to support us!"

Concubine Nan'an's face lit up immediately: "You said the Prince of Nan can come back?!"

"Queen Dowager, the current emperor is a very passionate person. The Crown Prince is the only son of the Southern King. Now that the only son is gone, will His Majesty force the Southern King to go to a war thousands of miles away to defend the country?

"I know His Majesty. He will definitely summon Prince Nan back to the capital!" Wang Xifeng comforted.

Among the edicts below, there was a bold one who flattered: "What the Imperial Concubine said is true! His Majesty has just said that after the court meeting tomorrow decides who will guard the southwest for the little Prince of Nan, he will immediately summon the Prince of Nan back to the capital!"

After hearing this, the concubine first clasped her hands together and prayed to the sky, then bowed to Wang Xifeng in an almost humbly manner: "Your Majesty, your grace is so great, please convey the gratitude of our entire family. I would like to thank you here first!"

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said that she dared not, and asked her to sit down. She asked a few more questions if there were any troubles at home. Seeing that the child was only following the dowager empress and not the prince's wife, she knew that this was probably a boy born out of wedlock.

"This child is obviously smart, but he is pitiful. He lost his father at a young age. I am afraid his future will be much more difficult than that of the Crown Prince..."

Wang Xifeng sighed for a moment, and then took off the jade pendant from her body and gave it to him: "Poor child, if you have any difficulties in the future, take this and come to the palace to find me, ah!"

The Dowager Concubine Nan'an and the Princess Princess' eyes immediately showed surprise and they hurried forward to express their gratitude. Only the Crown Prince's wife was reluctant to express her gratitude.

Wang Xifeng did not force it, but waved her hand and said, "We are old friends, so isn't it your duty to look after the younger generation?"

After this performance, not only the Nan family, but also the relatives and friends who were watching around, breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the current monarch is not as petty as the rumors say. Now he can even pardon the eldest son of the Wang family, who was the confidant and beloved general of the deposed crown prince. The daughter of the Wang family can become a noble concubine and can even generously promise to "take care of the younger generation". If the emperor did not intend to do so, she would not dare to do it even if she had eight guts!

The atmosphere on the scene quietly became much more relaxed.

The Queen Mother of Nan'an also became more stable. She looked around and remembered to order her servants to allow the guests in. She even specifically ordered the Crown Prince's wife to come and talk to Wang Xifeng.

Seeing that the situation had become much better, the concubine heaved a sigh of relief, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Wang Xifeng became more kind. She took her hand again and whispered to her how she was doing in the palace, asking her questions that showed her genuine concern.

After chatting for a while, a message came in from outside: "His Majesty asked if the imperial concubine would like to stay a moment longer?"

Wang Xifeng stood up with an apologetic look on her face: "It's late at night, and the palace has strict rules. Your Majesty should not make any exceptions.

"Take care of yourself, Concubine. I will hold a banquet in the palace later. Please don't refuse. Come and see me and we can have a good chat."

The concubine nodded repeatedly in agreement, stood up with the help of crutches, and ordered the prince's wife: "Send the imperial concubine out for me."

Everyone gathered in front of the hall and then they knelt down, bowed their heads, and said goodbye without saying anything more.
