Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

When everyone outside had gathered, Queen Mo walked out gracefully, wearing a scarlet dress and a golden phoenix crown on her head. She had delicate makeup and a ruddy complexion, and looked exceptionally energetic.

Led by Wang Xifeng, everyone stood up and waited for her to sit down before bowing to her.

Empress Mo looked at the respectful Wang Xifeng, the frustrated Concubine Wu De, and the young and bright-looking but timid concubines of lower rank in the harem, and raised her hand with a smile:

"Everyone, stand up and sit down."

Everyone thanked him respectfully again, then stood up straight and sat down elegantly and quietly.

Queen Mo then smiled and said, "I haven't seen you sisters for a while, I really miss you.

"Just now when I was dressing up inside, I seemed to hear the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine chatting, but the Imperial Concubine talked more and the Virtuous Concubine talked less.

"That's right. After all, the Imperial Concubine is ranked above the Virtuous Concubine. She has been managing the six palaces for so many days and has never made any mistakes. She is a very thoughtful person.

"If you listen to her carefully, you can learn a lot.

"She's tired of waiting like this and doesn't want to care anymore. I'm still waiting for Concubine De to be like her and share my worries!"

This is blatant bias and attempt to smooth things over.

But everyone knows that although she was in the East Palace before, the Queen Mother at that time was worried that her position was unstable and targeted Concubine Wang for a period of time.

Later, the Empress Dowager found that her position as the Empress was stable and that Concubine Wang was always very respectful, so the two wives and concubines got along more and more harmoniously.

Everyone had heard about the twists and turns of this matter many times, and today they finally saw it with their own eyes, and their hearts were finally at ease.

At this time, Wang Xifeng and Concubine Wu De naturally had no choice but to bow and cross their hands to express their agreement.

After recognizing everyone again, Empress Mo looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes:

"Is it time yet?"

"There's still a quarter of an hour left." Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "But everyone is afraid that being late would be disrespectful to the Empress, so I'm afraid that everyone might be gathered on the Wangxian Terrace by now!"

Queen Mo smiled and said, "In that case, let's just go slowly."

Everyone agreed and stood up.

Concubine Wu De watched Wang Xifeng's figure move towards the Queen, and immediately rushed forward to hold Queen Mo's arm:

"I have never served the Queen on a trip before, so why not let me help her?"

Wang Xifeng stood there smiling, and pulled Geng Simiao back, "Why did you run into them today?"

She didn't even look at Concubine Wu De who "stole" her position.

Who wouldn't accept such kindness offered for nothing?

Empress Mo followed suit and firmly placed her hand on Concubine Wu De's hand, smiling and saying, "Sister De Concubine is really sensible.

"I am well now, my sisters don't have to worry about me anymore. If you miss your family, you can come to the palace to talk about the family's well-being.

"Especially Concubine De. Your grandmother is a proper county lady, so you might as well ask her to come and sit with you more often."

Everyone was happy and agreed.

Concubine Wu De secretly shrank her neck.

She had a great time chatting with the emperor that night and gave away all the families that had dealings with her grandmother and the Wu family.

The other day, Mei Hanlin requested an external appointment. Emperor Chongzhao approved it, but he also mentioned Wu Tianyou for a "chat", saying something like a good man has ambitions to go far and wide and care about his country and the world.

Her grandmother had to ask for an external appointment for her father, and at the same time, she couldn't help but bring a letter into the palace to scold her severely.

In the short term, she didn't have the courage to invite Princess Kangle into the palace.

He just smiled awkwardly and became as quiet as a chicken, not daring to say anything more.

Queen Mo slowly left the Penglai Palace with satisfaction and got on her own Zhai carriage.

Geng Simiao, who was at the back, quietly told Wang Xifeng, "They were curious about your preferences, so they waited for me at the fork in the road.

"I asked you what you like to eat and what color you like, and about Wu Jin's injury. I even asked about the parrot in your palace..."

Wang Xifeng glanced back in surprise at Sang Xian and Shi Jincheng, who were only two or three people away from her and Geng Simiao, and said nothing.

Everyone got on the phoenix sedan chair and slowly walked towards the Wangxian Terrace.

Wang Xifeng squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then lowered her head, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed softly.

After a while, a tit landed on the tree next to it and chirped.

Behind two or three sedan chairs, Shi Jincheng secretly looked out from behind the curtain.

Wang Xifeng coughed lightly again.

The tit spread its wings and flew away.

After three or five steps, a shrike flew over and landed directly on Shi Jincheng's sedan chair. It lay there leisurely, swaying with the sedan chair as it went up and down, but it just wouldn't move.

The eunuch who was carrying the sedan chair looked at it and couldn't help laughing.

Shi Jincheng noticed something was wrong, so he opened the curtain of the sedan chair and asked A Ke who was walking beside him, "What's wrong?"

"A bird has landed on your sedan chair. It is combing its wings now!" Ake smiled particularly sweetly and lovely.

Shi Jincheng was sitting in the sedan chair, unable to see anything, and was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

However, the people heading to Wangxiantai formed a long line. If she stopped, then everyone behind her would have to stop as well.

Naturally, she didn't dare to do such a thing.

I had to endure it, but I was so curious that I had to ask Ake: "What kind of bird is it? How big is it? What color is it? Is it pretty?"

Ake then described it to her with a smile: "Ake doesn't recognize it. We don't have this bird over there!

"Well, not big, about the size of a swallow. Smoky grey. The eyes, the edges of the wings, and the tail feathers are all thick black, and the rest is smoky grey.

"nice!

"It's still chubby and very cute!"

Sang Xian's maid Caixia, who was walking in front of them, couldn't help but turn back and tell them: "This bird is called the Gray Shrike. We call it Hanlu'er in the north."

Shi Jincheng laughed. It would be easier if he knew the name.

"It's so cute, why don't we catch it and raise it tomorrow?"

When everyone heard her words, they all laughed softly.

Wang Xifeng, who was in the front, naturally heard everything and curled her lips slightly: Of course!

We have arrived at Wangxiantai.

Everyone got off the sedan chairs one after another. Wang Xifeng's sedan chair followed behind the Queen's carriage. After getting off the sedan chair, she did not move forward, but turned around and waved to people:

"Sang Ronghua, come here."

Sang Xian hurried over.

"This is your territory. You come and guide the Queen. I'll go and arrange other things." Wang Xifeng smiled and patted her hands, then added softly, "Don't be afraid."

Then she apologized to Queen Mo, turned and went into the side hall to arrange for the ladies and young girls who had arrived earlier to come and see the Queen.

At this moment, three more sedan chairs came from afar.

Queen Mo turned her head and saw Zhai Zhao coming with He Ke and Lin Daiyu.

"Oh my, can't you guys take a day off today?" Queen Mo felt that she had been led astray by Wang Xifeng, and she used such frivolous words as soon as she opened her mouth.

The three of them saluted and smiled.

Zhai Zhao then replied respectfully and seriously: "I have never taught the princess how to treat people at such a grand banquet, and today is a good opportunity.

"Please allow me and my two children to sit with you, Queen."
