Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"In the end, you just want to watch our family decline, to watch your second uncle and third uncle lose their support in the capital, and become white men that everyone looks down on!

“Did you know that your cousin is planning to discuss marriage?

"As soon as your father's transfer order came, your third aunt got pregnant!"

Old Mrs. Mei gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, but her hatred overflowed from it.

Mei Ruoqin was exhausted and raised her hand to support her forehead: "Grandma, as long as Third Uncle can study hard at home, Third Aunt will not be a problem even if he is a farmer.

"As for my cousin, his sister caused such a scandal, if Yunnan doesn't know about it, doesn't the capital know about it?

"What does the twists and turns in his marriage proposal have to do with my father's transfer to another post?

"Besides, Grandmother, the Imperial Academy is just a sinecure. People think that being noble is because it gives them more opportunities to accompany the emperor.

"The family is in chaos now, and my father's frequent appearances before Your Majesty are a constant reminder to Your Majesty that he is powerless to manage the family...

"What's wrong with being appointed to an external post? His Majesty has also specially granted me the title of chief official of the Shangxian County in Lianghuai.

"As long as I don't make any mistakes, in three years, I might be promoted to a fifth-rank official. In another three years, I might even be promoted to a high-ranking official...

"Grandmother, this is clearly a gift from His Majesty to our family because of my pregnancy. Why don't you understand?!"

Old Madam Mei looked at Mei Ruoqin with a gloomy face, and her voice became low and deep, like a curse:

"You little brat, so arrogant and ignorant, actually wants to teach me a lesson...

"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for not respecting family ties..."

After saying that, he turned around and called out, "Chunhua, come in."

The door of the bedroom opened, and Madam Duan and Mei Shumeiran, both with stern faces, and a maid in her twenties walked in.

Behind them was Wang Xifeng, who had a cold look on her face.

Mei Ruoqin was startled, and subconsciously glanced at Old Madam Mei who was sitting firmly, then hurriedly stood up with the help of the table next to her, knelt down and bowed her head:

"See the royal concubine!"

Wang Xifeng nodded and continued walking inside.

Mrs. Mei then stood up with the help of her crutches with great difficulty, and knelt down slowly and tremblingly in front of the chair without moving a step:

"I, Hou, pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine!"

Wang Xifeng did not stop her. She walked around her and sat down at the round table away from the bed where the two of them were sitting. She looked at Old Mrs. Mei who was already kneeling on the ground with a dark face and gritting her teeth. She turned on her knees and kowtowed to her.

Then he smiled and said, "Oh, how can you let such an old man bow to me?

"Come, come, Mei Ran Mei Shu, quickly help your old lady up."

Then he turned to Mei Ruoqin and said, "I just asked Madam Duan, you got up late this morning, and sat there as soon as you got up, without taking a single step.

“How can this be a way for pregnant women to maintain their health?

"An'er, you and Mei Shu, help Concubine Rong and walk slowly in the outer hall. Walk three full circles before coming back."

Then he said to Mei Ran, "Prepare some drinks and snacks for your queen. It's almost 9 o'clock, and she needs to eat something.

"From now on, I will give her an extra meal every morning and afternoon, including fruits, snacks, and drinks.

"Stop drinking tea and alcohol."

After saying that, she watched Mei Ran leave, and then asked Madam Duan with concern, "I have been busy with the flower show these days and have not been here. How is Concubine Rong?"

Nanny Duan's expression had calmed down. After hearing this, she crossed her hands and bowed her head, and replied respectfully: "In response to the Imperial Concubine, Rong Fei's diet is fine, but she can't sleep at night.

“The imperial physician came to see her and prescribed some medicine, but Concubine Rong didn’t dare to take it.

"I have advised her several times to relax and take good care of her pregnancy, as nothing is more important than the heir to the throne.

"My queen has been feeling better these past two days."

Wang Xifeng folded her hands and looked up to the sky and chanted: "Amitabha! This is the first heir to the throne after your majesty entered the Daming Palace. This is a very auspicious sign!

"She can't make any mistakes!"

After talking and laughing, he finally looked at Mrs. Mei, whose face was extremely grim, and asked curiously,

"Ms. Hou, why do you look so bad? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Old Madam Mei forced a smile and said, "Your Highness's prediction is correct. I was worried about Concubine Rong's pregnancy last night, so I didn't sleep well."

"Then the three masters of the Mei family are unfilial! How can I, who am so old and not feeling well, order you to come to the palace to meet Concubine Rong?

"Although the first and second wives of the Mei family had inappropriate words and deeds, and were scolded by the Queen Mother and were too embarrassed to enter the palace, at least there is still the third wife!"

Wang Xifeng smiled and looked at the maid named Chunhua again, "This girl is quite pretty, but she looks quite old..."

Mrs. Mei was still polite after all, and she hurriedly ordered the maid, "Why don't you pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine?"

The maid knelt down on both knees with a thud, trembling with fear: "Your servant Chunhua, pays respects to the Imperial Concubine."

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed, "We have already greeted each other outside. Now get up. Your name is Chunhua, right? How old are you? How many years have you been serving in the Mei Mansion?"

Chunhua's face was pale and she was about to collapse: "I entered the Mei Mansion last year. I am twenty-three years old this year..."

Wang Xifeng did not comment, but just looked at Old Lady Mei whose face changed with a smile and chuckled.

She said to Madam Duan, "This is a critical moment for Concubine Rong, and outsiders should not be able to enter Qinghui Pavilion so easily.

"Madam, please bring Miss Chunhua to the side room for a visit.

"I think this girl is not feeling well. Madam, please find someone who can walk quickly and ask Dr. Kong to come and see her.

"By the way, please check whether Concubine Rong is safe today."

Mrs. Mei couldn't bear it any longer, she paused with her cane and said in a deep voice: "This maid is from my Mei Mansion, how can she be considered an outsider?

“I am old, but the Imperial Concubine has shown no sympathy for me. She made me kowtow and stand for a long time without a seat.

"They even mocked me and said my sons and daughters-in-law were unfilial!

"Rong Fei is pregnant, so she should have a good rest. But when the Imperial Concubine came, she forced her to go out for a walk!

"Why? Hasn't he always claimed to be a good friend of our Concubine Rong?

"Isn't this because they are jealous of her pregnancy, so they are deliberately targeting her and the Mei family?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and held her chin with her hand. She waited patiently for her to finish speaking, nodded, and said:

"You're right. I'm targeting her and the Mei family. What can you do?!"

He raised his chin and said, "Someone, take this Chunhua away!"

The maid panicked and said, "I have done nothing wrong. I have only followed the old lady's instructions. I have not offended you, my lady!"

But Nanny Duan would not listen to her shouting. She waved her hand and a middle-aged palace servant came forward, tied Chunhua up in a few seconds and blocked her mouth.

Unexpectedly, in their hands, this ordinary-looking, pale maid suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted!

Mrs. Mei had just stared blankly at first, but at this moment her cane suddenly loosened and she collapsed to the ground:

"Dead, someone is dead..."

Wang Xifeng was also slightly startled, but when she heard the old woman say this, she suddenly sneered:

"dead?

"I'm putting this here today:

"No one can die without my approval!"
