Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"Your servant doesn't need to ask, it must be impossible." Chang Ying bowed and said, "Your servant also asks the queen not to take risks.

"Officials outside the government are foul-mouthed and will fabricate stories that have no basis in reality to spread rumors.

"You are just doing your job, why do you have to give them an excuse?

"Besides, you are still ill, and everything in the Nan Mansion is inconvenient. No matter who it is or what it is, how can it be more important than your health?

"I will not pass on this message for you, and I also advise you not to run into trouble with His Majesty.

"Your Majesty has been talking about the Imperial Concubine all the time these days. How could he bear to see you suffer so much?"

Wang Xifeng listened to him talking, at first she was surprised, then she became serious, and finally she smiled and covered her mouth with her handkerchief:

"Oh my, these words make me feel warm inside, it's so relaxing!

"No wonder the emperor is so reluctant to part with you!"

She tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Changying, I heard that our Fuguier is now being taken care of by you. How is it? Has he performed the master-disciple ceremony with you?"

Chang Ying bowed and waved his hands: "How can I be qualified? It's just a joke. We are just helping each other out these few days."

"Look, you despise him!" Wang Xifeng chuckled.

Chang Ying felt embarrassed and subconsciously touched the back of his head: "I can't bear the consequences of your words, Concubine! Then, how about..."

"Thank you on behalf of Fuguier for accepting him!" Wang Xifeng rushed to say, and then she called Chunsheng with a smile, "Go and prepare a gift for Fuguier to become his disciple, and then take it over and tell him!"

Chunsheng agreed with a smile on his face.

Chang Ying hurriedly stopped him: "There are many tasks in Zichen Palace, and there is no need to publicize such a small matter.

"When I get back, I'll teach him a lesson myself!"

This is to downplay the relationship between Fuguier and oneself.

so smart!

Wang Xifeng looked at him with increasing satisfaction, and after a moment's thought, she said, "The work in the Purple Palace is of the utmost importance, and is also very tedious. I am afraid it will be very difficult.

"Fortunately, you will be able to go back and serve Prince Duan soon. It will be easier than serving in the Purple Palace."

Chang Ying hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth, and smiled: "I think it's okay. I can handle it. It has broadened my horizons and gained more knowledge.

"After looking through the emperor's worries one by one, my mind has become much more open. Thinking back to the past, I also got stuck in a lot of corners!"

This is a good angle!

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded repeatedly with a smile: "Yes! The most attractive thing about Chang Ying is that he is open-minded and learns quickly!"

He waved his hand to let him go back, and asked An'er to watch and appreciate it.

Chang Ying took it with a smile, bowed respectfully, then said goodbye and returned to the Zichen Palace.

When he entered, he saw Emperor Chongzhao sitting at the top, reading memorials quietly, so he did not disturb him. Instead, he tiptoed outside and ordered a bowl of lily and mung bean soup, then returned to the hall.

When Emperor Chongzhao heard him whispering to the sweet soup, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, put down the memorial in his hand, and asked with a smile:

"Your Imperial Concubine is so tactless that she didn't even ask you to bring me a drink?"

“The imperial concubine thanked His Majesty repeatedly for his concern for her, but she is still in poor spirits now. Even the purse she gave to the servants was given by Miss An’er and she now turned it out from her sleeve.”

Changying smiled and presented a royal blue purse with a pink lotus embroidered on it.

Emperor Chongzhao took a look and said with a smile, "It's obvious that this is not an ordinary reward. I'm afraid it belongs to Miss An'er herself. How could you accept it without hesitation?"

"There are only two silver ingots in it, which add up to less than two taels of silver. I will take them!

"If the emperor also rewards Miss An'er later, then we'll be even, right?" Changying poured out everything in his purse for Emperor Chongzhao to see.

Emperor Chongzhao laughed loudly: "You are really generous to others! You even want to take my things!"

"Then I am yours, and Miss An'er is the concubine's, so this is how it should be counted!"

Chang Ying smiled again, then lowered his voice, picked out the key points of the previous conversation, and said softly,

"There must be some grudge between the Northern King and Lord Wang. From what I've seen, it seems that the Imperial Concubine doesn't quite understand it either and is just watching the fun.

"As for the Imperial Concubine's suggestion of staying overnight at the Southern Residence, I have tried to persuade her for a long time, but I don't know if she has given up the idea."

Emperor Chongzhao squinted his eyes and thought for a while before he slowly said, "Let her do it."

Chang Ying bowed his head and said, "Then I will follow the Imperial Concubine's instructions and arrange for a car to pick you up early tomorrow morning?"

"Hmm." Emperor Chongzhao lowered his head and continued to read the memorial.

The lily and mung bean soup arrived, and Changying skillfully placed it next to Emperor Chongzhao.

Emperor Chongzhao also skillfully reached out to take it, drank it in three or five mouthfuls, and commented: "The sugar is just right today. The sweet soups in the previous times were too sweet and greasy."

Chang Ying smiled and said yes, sent the empty bowl away, and instructed: "From now on, your majesty's sweet soup should be made according to this sweetness.

"It's too sweet, neither your majesty nor the imperial concubine likes it."

The people from the Shangshi Bureau hurriedly took note of it and turned around and hurried back to report to Cai Xiangchun.

That night, before going to bed, Wang Xifeng went to see Wu Jin: "How is it?"

An'er touched the sleeping black cat in its nest and said, "The imperial physician said that it is being taken care of very well. In two or three days, we can tear this thing apart.

"——Look at how fat it is, you can tell it will be well soon!"

Wang Xifeng smiled and also tried to pull it.

Wu Jin finally opened one eye lazily and meowed.

"With your current body of fat, I'm afraid you won't be able to jump over the eaves and walls when you go out for a walk in the future, right?"

Wang Xifeng teased, then smiled and turned back to tell An'er, "Starting tomorrow, Wu Jin's food will be reduced by half."

An Er giggled and agreed.

Wu Jin gave a disapproving meow.

Jin Ercai on the shelf immediately started to make a noise: "Half, half!"

"I see you're a bit plump too. Why don't you get one too!" Wang Xifeng smiled and turned back, "It's also halved!"

An Er chuckled: "Okay!"

The cat and the bird were both listless.

An'er helped Wang Xifeng lie down, and then went to sleep happily.

Wang Xifeng was lying on the bed, and her voice was cold: "Just because I'm sick doesn't mean I'm dead.

"How dare you delay doing what I told you to do? I guess you are all full, so you don't want to do your job.

“I’m going to Nanfu tomorrow morning.

"So if things don't turn out right the day after tomorrow at the latest, I'll kill both of you."

The two colors of black gold and gold are silent.

Wang Xifeng: “Hmm?”

"Meow!"

"Yes, my lord!"

That night, various birds and cats frequently came in and out of the Yinyu Hall.

Shi Ronghua, who had already moved to Chang'an Palace, got up again at night to watch the stars.

In high spirits, he slipped out of the door while no one was paying attention, climbed a tree, jumped high, and reached the roof of the temple.

A wide field of vision is comfort.

Then, the rise and fall, gathering and dispersion of the birds once again caught her eye.

"That's the Yinyu Palace, that's right." Shi Ronghua stared at the bird in the sky in fascination.

A night owl flew over her head again.

Shi Ronghua smiled softly with a happy expression.
