Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

The old lady of the Pan family was the most direct. She hugged Pan Wen and started crying: "Can't I not go?

“That place eats people!

"A good young lady, you want to kill the queen as soon as you enter!

"What if someone wants to kill the eldest prince? Then wouldn't our Wen Ge'er have to take the blame for the prince?"

Pan Xun scratched his head and wanted to explain that it was actually an accident, but he found it difficult to put it into words. After hesitating for a while, he looked at his father.

Mr. Pan was so worried that he even took out his pipe and lit it. After a while, he asked, "His uncle, the emperor, likes him? Why can't others?"

Pan Xun had no choice but to go see his brother-in-law Cheng Gu.

This man is thick-skinned and smart. Apart from the fact that his family was poor and he did not have extensive education in his early years, which led to him failing to get into the top three, his only shortcoming is that his appearance is not so satisfactory.

Cheng Gu played with his folding fan and looked at his brother-in-law: "Who else will be the eldest prince's study companion?"

“I heard that Feng Ziying, the son of the newly appointed governor of the Beijing Camp and the Godly General Feng, is one of them.

"I don't know about the others yet. I only know that they will probably pick one or two more from the old noble families."

Pan Xun frowned, "It's hard to say. The princess means that it's hard to find a study partner.

"She has to be of the same age as Prince Duan, and of similar intelligence. She also has to be in good health because she has to practice martial arts."

Cheng Gu nodded after hearing this, looked at Pan Wen, whose eyes were sparkling with excitement, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then our Brother Wen is actually taking advantage."

Pan Xun nodded gently: "Yes."

Both Mr. Pan and Mrs. Pan were stunned.

Cheng Gu turned around and called his wife: "Take the children to our place. Didn't I make three windmills this afternoon? Take them and play with them!"

Pan Xiaomei hesitated for a moment, and knowing that the adults had something important to say, she obediently took the children away.

Cheng Gu then explained to Mr. Pan and the old lady, "The emperor now has only one son, Prince Duan.

"It just so happens that this son is very much in the favor of the Grand Emperor. He is filial, sensible, precocious, and extremely intelligent.

"His current teacher is only the Crown Prince's tutor Lin Ruhai.

"But Lin Ruhai's title is none other than the Prince's Junior Tutor.

“So as long as the prince lives well and doesn’t turn into a fool or a madman, the position of crown prince will be his for sure.

"The children who can study with Prince Duan now are all the ministers chosen by the Emperor to protect and assist him in the future!"

At this point, Cheng Gu looked at Pan Xun meaningfully, "Brother, am I right?"

Pan Xun didn't hesitate for a moment and nodded vigorously: "That's the truth!"

Old Madam Pan was delighted when she saw this: "Doesn't that mean that our second brother's future has already been decided by his uncle, the Emperor?"

Old Master Pan also grinned and tapped his pipe against the sole of his shoe, but suddenly stopped, with a look of fear on his face:

"No, that's not right!"

Everyone was stunned!

Mr. Pan's voice was trembling, but he kept it low: "Didn't Dalang tell me about the past?

"At that time, the fight for the throne...

"Hasn't the Supreme Lord arranged enough people for the previous prince? What's the use? Who has earned a future?

"If you lose the battle for the throne, won't you lose your head?

"The current emperor is only in his early thirties. Didn't he say the other day that the queen is pregnant? She must give birth to a son!

"What if the eldest prince doesn't inherit the throne?

"What about Xiaojilang? What should we do?!

"What if my good grandson is targeted by the prince behind and wants to kill him? Can the princess protect him? Can she?!"

As the old man spoke, his eyes turned red again and he even started to sob.

When the old lady heard this, she panicked again and hurriedly pulled the prince consort and said, "Son, we don't ask for great wealth and honor. Now this is a good life that mother never dared to imagine in her life!

"The child's future is important, but his life is more important!

"If this kind of companion study is so dangerous, then we'd rather not have this future! Do you hear me?!"

Cheng Gu's heart was shaken when he heard this. He stood up with a serious expression and bowed respectfully to the two elders.

"My parents are really wise! It's us who are too eager for quick success and too short-sighted!"

Pan Xun had no choice but to stand up and bowed: "Dad and Mom have thought of everything."

When Mr. Pan saw that his son-in-law agreed with him, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw his eldest son's expression, his heart tightened and he looked at him eagerly:

"What? Even if I'm right, you still have to go?"

Pan Xun sighed: "Father, if you think this way, the Feng family will think this way, and every family will think this way.

"But in this case, Prince Duan will have no study companion.

"Until now, Princess He Ke has only one study companion, Lin Ruhai's daughter.

"How can His Majesty feel good about being alone like this?

"I won't hide it from you. The Queen Mother has favored Prince Su since he was young, and the Emperor and the Princess have been dependent on each other for life.

"If the emperor hadn't taken care of her, the princess would have been bullied after leaving the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian's palace...

"It's like, even though I'm a royal consort, my sons still want to play with their cousins.

“But precisely because I’m the princess’s consort, people who don’t like the princess framed me, and I might be at risk of being demoted.

"Could it be that my younger brothers and sisters won't let the children play with Heng and Wen just because they are afraid of being implicated by me at this time?

"If my sister-in-law really does something like this, what should I do?"

Mr. Pan and the old lady looked at each other:

"You are brothers and sisters, how could such a thing happen? And it involves the children? Absolutely impossible!"

Cheng Gu waved his folding fan and said slowly: "The emperor and the princess are also siblings, and they have had a deep relationship since childhood.

"Besides, it has always been the Emperor who has taken care of the princess..."

"So this is the most difficult time for the emperor. If the princess doesn't help, who will? If the princess doesn't send her child to the palace to set an example for others, who will be the role model..."

Old Master Pan muttered to himself, distraught.

Mrs. Pan's tears fell again, but she cried and said, "The princess has feelings and loyalty, and cannot hide at this time.

"We have enjoyed the princess's filial piety, and we must not stop her at this critical moment. We cannot be so selfish...

"It's just that I feel sorry for the child and I'm also afraid...

"Da Lang, Da Lang, what should I do..."

Pan Xun sighed and nodded towards Cheng Gu: "Brother-in-law sees things clearly."

Cheng Gu shook his head and looked at the two elders with warm eyes: "The two elders are very clear about justice and take the overall situation into consideration."

Pan Xun nodded, stood up, lifted his robe and knelt down to his parents who were sitting at the top: "Parents are noble and righteous, which is a blessing for their son and daughter-in-law.

"Please rest assured. Wen Ge'er is the princess's favorite. She will do everything she can to keep the child safe!"
