Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

After returning to the Daming Palace, Emperor Chongzhao directly pulled Wang Xifeng into the Purple Palace, and after closing the door, he asked her in detail about the specific situation in the inner house of the Southern Mansion.

Wang Xifeng told him word by word: "The princess is disheartened and wants nothing. She wants to return her title and mansion to the court...

“But when I heard that His Majesty intended to treat me well, I was a little hesitant.

"But when I asked her to teach the young grandson together with the Crown Prince's wife, she refused with a sad face.

"I guess she was thinking about how she personally raised the prince when he was young.

"The Crown Prince's wife persuaded him very earnestly, and the Princess was also somewhat shaken..."

Emperor Chongzhao raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Then why did this incident come up?

"But I thought about it...

"I heard the Queen Mother and the Empress talking before, and they mentioned that Concubine Zhen was very fond of Mei Hanlin's paintings...

"I also heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of Prince Kang was once very much loved by Concubine Zhen, and she was rewarded with many things...

"There is also Concubine Song who is still in the palace. She lives next door to Concubine Zhen. She broke her leg on the path between the two palaces..."

As Wang Xifeng spoke, she watched the face of Emperor Chongzhao change, and softly said the last sentence, "Just now, the Crown Prince's Consort also mentioned that if Concubine Zhen could persuade her, Princess Nan...

"I will definitely change my mind and stay in the palace instead of becoming a monk."

There was no expression on Emperor Chongzhao's face anymore.

Wang Xifeng fished out a sealed letter from her bosom, held it up with both hands, and presented it to Emperor Chongzhao: "Your Majesty, this is the letter written by the Crown Prince's Consort."

Emperor Chongzhao looked at the letter with cold eyes. He did not reach out to take it, but pointed his chin at the table and said, "Put it down."

Wang Xifeng obediently put the letter down and asked with lowered eyes: "The sun is setting, Your Majesty, are you going to Yinyu Hall for dinner?"

"No. I will take care of the affairs of the Nan Mansion." Emperor Chongzhao said stiffly, then felt that he should not show Wang Xifeng a displeasure, so he relaxed his expression and nodded towards her.

“Thank you for your hard work today.

"You did very well."

After thinking for a while, he added, "Your father has done a good job in this matter. When the matter of the Nan Mansion is over, I will give your father another promotion."

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows, knowing that this was a reward for another job, so she did not refuse and bowed down: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of my father."

Then he said goodbye, leaving space for Emperor Chongzhao to be alone.

Emperor Chongzhao did not keep her, but only told Changying: "Your Highness, you have worked hard. I will give you half of the dinner dishes."

Although he did not follow Emperor Chongzhao out of the palace, nor did he hear the secret conversation between the emperor and the imperial concubine just now, but as soon as he saw the expressions of the two, Changying knew that the imperial concubine had "assigned a task" to the emperor again.

He said yes meekly, and watched Wang Xifeng leave before stepping forward and asking in a low voice, "Your Majesty must be very hot after making these two trips in such hot weather.

"I asked someone to prepare some iced lotus seeds, lilies, and mung beans. Would you like to have one?"

Emperor Chongzhao closed his eyes and leaned back on the throne. He hummed slowly and said casually, "Send one to the imperial concubine as well."

Chang Ying agreed and asked, "You must be sweating all over after the round trip. Your Majesty, would you like to take a bath?"

Emperor Chongzhao hummed again, his heart moved slightly, and Wang Xifeng's graceful figure wrapped in a thin silk skirt flashed through his mind...

He sat up straight, tugged at his robe, paused, and asked, "After the Wangxiantai case, are Sang and Shi okay?"

"Shi Ronghua didn't seem to be affected, but Sang Ronghua was much more cautious when going in and out. I heard that he woke up several times at night. The imperial physician prescribed a tranquilizer, which he drank for a while.

"The Imperial Concubine and the Empress have discussed whether to change your residence. They are now cleaning up Chang'an Palace. I estimate that you will be able to move in two or three days."

Chang Ying said this, glanced at Emperor Chong Zhao, turned his eyes, blinked, and said softly, "Your Majesty, if you send someone to invite Concubine Zhen back to the palace, maybe the Empress Dowager will come back with her...

"When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll ask about all the matters in the harem...

"Since you moved into Daming Palace, apart from visiting the Queen and dining with the Imperial Concubine, you have only stayed at the Defei and Rongfei's houses...

"I am a little worried that the Queen Mother will blame you...

"With the Queen and the Imperial Concubine..."

Emperor Chongzhao's eyes relaxed, but he frowned and glared at him: "Old Xia, your master, the imperial concubine, and the queen are not as lenient as you!

"Little monkey! You just take advantage of my love for you and you don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is!"

Chang Ying smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I was too talkative. Didn't you just suddenly remember it?"

"Your Majesty must have someone to serve you even when you bathe.

"This task has always been done by my master, but I am really clumsy. I just thought of summoning a concubine from the harem..."

Emperor Chongzhao snorted, picked up a book, leaned on the throne, and raised it to cover his face: "Okay, prepare some water."

Changying nodded and agreed.

"Ask Sang Ronghua to serve."

Chang Ying looked up at the book, which was upside down, and agreed with a smile: "Yes!"

He bowed and walked out.

That night, Wang Xifeng received news before going to bed: Sang Xian was summoned to stay overnight in the Purple Palace.

It seems that the emperor's mood today is too complicated...

Wang Xifeng turned over, yawned, asked for the lights to be turned off, and went to bed.

After everyone had left, the crow brothers came and stood at the window, cawing and reporting.

Wang Xifeng turned over again and frowned, "He is the emperor. When he is in a bad mood, he would summon his concubines. Isn't that normal?"

Jin Ercai hung upside down on the shelf, with his beak open for a long time, but did not dare to refute.

Instead, Wu Jin meowed sarcastically in the corner.

Wang Xifeng turned over again in annoyance, closed her eyes, and really wanted to sleep.

Jin Ercai turned around and sneered at Wu Jin, "Your master is not a human being, and you still have the nerve to ask my master!?

"Do you believe me or not, I will go to his window tomorrow and ask him where his conscience is?!"

Wu Jin: If you’re good, go ahead!

Jin Ercai was furious and flapped his wings continuously. If it weren't for the chain on his feet, he would have rushed over and fought fiercely with this useless pen!

But Wang Xifeng said nothing.

The crow brothers stood outside for a long time with a pitiful look on their faces, until they heard that Lord Phoenix had really fallen asleep and even snored softly. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief and turn around and fly away.

Jin Ercai and Wu Jin also calmed down.

"What should I do if my Lord doesn't want to be favored?"

"Meow."

"If your King Qin Guang wakes up, the world will be in chaos! If we can see all living beings, that will be the end!"

"Meow!"

"That's not the case! If he really wakes up and really starts to seriously revise the Book of Life and Death, won't this world collapse!?

"You useless bastard, there has never been a companion beast as stupid as you in the world!

"This time, it's just that Lady Phoenix is ​​obsessed with burning the city, so she came to experience the calamity again! After this calamity is over and her obsession is washed away, she will naturally return to the Grand Illusionary Realm to continue sleeping!

"This world is going to be like this and that..."

"Meow?!"

"Yeah, it's a lie, what's the matter?

"Otherwise why is it called a fantasy?

"If you don't even understand this, what kind of life and death book have you been keeping in the underworld for all these years?

“Drawing blindly?!

"What a blind!"
