Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

After coming out of Penglai Palace, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but rub her cheeks which were stiff from all the fake crying and smiling.

As soon as she got on the sedan chair and sat firmly, she heard Concubine Wu De's voice from behind: "Please stay, Concubine. I have something to say!"

Sighing, Wang Xifeng straightened up in the sedan chair and looked down.

Concubine Wu De stood on the ground and had to slightly tilt her head back to look Wang Xifeng in the face, feeling a little aggrieved.

The expression on his cheeks was half-smiley: "Just now, the Imperial Concubine didn't tell the truth in front of the Empress!"

Wang Xifeng immediately ordered impatiently: "Move up the sedan chair."

Concubine Wu De was startled, and hurriedly took a half step forward, whispering anxiously: "My Lady, I have been accompanying the Queen these days, and I have learned a secret about your Wang family-

"I wonder if the Imperial Concubine is interested?"

"If you want to talk, then talk. If you don't want to talk, I'll go back and take a rest." Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at her, "I hate it when people play dumb with me!"

Wu suppressed her anger and sneered, but she still whispered:

"I heard that your second uncle went to the Southern King's army, and the first thing he did was to discuss marriage with the Southern King's deputy general, and wanted to marry his sister as his second wife!

"But the interesting thing is, they didn't agree!"

Wang Xifeng's heart was slightly moved. She finally looked at Concubine Wu De, looked her up and down, and laughed:

"The Empress's family is made up of civil officials, how did she get the military information?

"I heard that your grandmother, Princess Kangle, has many supporters, many of whom are former nobles!

"Did the Queen tell you this news, or did you tell the Queen?"

Wu Defei paused and smiled: "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. It wasn't the Queen who told me.

"But this news did not come from outside the palace. I just forgot who told me..."

"Who else could it be? It must be the daughter of Mr. Sang from the Five Cities Army. I heard it from her family!"

Wang Xifeng laughed and shook her head, "De Fei, if you want to sow discord between me and Sang, why do you have to go through so much trouble?

"She relied on the fact that I once had a crush on her and wanted to step on me to win her favor, but I can't stand people hiding their true colors!

“So, you don’t need to stir up trouble, I don’t like her either.

"As for how she is, I'm too lazy to know, and you don't have to tell me."

Concubine Wu De's eyes flickered, and her smile became more intimate: "Oh my, Concubine, you are wrongly accusing me!

"You can ask, but I never said a word about you and Sang outside!

"The Empress has instructed that the sisters in the harem must live together for more than ten years or even decades, and they must live in harmony in order to have peace and happiness!"

Wang Xifeng laughed in an especially ridiculous way: "Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty, the Queen is right!"

No longer bothering to give a perfunctory reply, he shouted loudly: "I told you to start the sedan chair, are you deaf!?"

The eunuch who was carrying the sedan chair was originally listening to the concubines' quarrel, but the imperial concubine did not play by the rules and wanted to leave directly!

They were startled and looked at each other quickly. They lifted the sedan chair steadily and ran away quickly without waiting for Concubine De to say anything else!

Concubine De was so angry that she just stood there staring!

Juanjuan looked at her and smiled quietly for a while before suppressing her smile and walked forward seriously:

"It's so hot, don't get sunburned here, be careful of getting a heat stroke.

"It's getting late. Once we go back and wash up, it will be time for lunch. Shall I take you back to the palace?"

De Fei stood there for a long time with her lips pouted, her eyes flashed, and she raised her chin: "Wang is well now, I guess there must be a handover of palace affairs between her and Li.

"Go pick something!"

Juanjuan was speechless: "My lady, it's so hot in summer. If I get beaten, it will be difficult for my injuries to heal! Then you will only have Mingming to serve you!"

De Fei was so angry that she stamped her feet and threw her handkerchief: "I am not happy that she is still so lively after a serious illness!

"I just want to see her panic, see her get angry, see her never be so confident and calm again!

"I just want to tear her face off!"

Juan Juan covered her face with her hands: "Your Majesty, your idea is good, but these tricks are useless! You should also go back and make some plans and use your brain!

"At worst, you can discuss it with Aunt Han! Or invite Madam to the palace again?"

"My mother only scolds me, saying that I don't know how to appreciate the good things I have, that I don't know what it means to keep a low profile, and that I'm a waste!"

As Concubine De was talking, she suddenly burst into tears, "Isn't Daddy the most useless person in the family?

"There's also my brother, and my father's concubine and his children!

"I have done what they wished and entered the palace to fight for their future glory and wealth, but they still despise me!"

Juanjuan looked at her speechlessly.

De Fei cried twice, but found that no one comforted her. She couldn't help but look up and stare at Juan Juan fiercely: "Why don't you comfort me?"

"Your Highness, why don't you use your ability to change your expression in front of the Empress and the Imperial Concubine?

"What's the point of you just touching me? You have to move them both, and the Emperor, to get back a comfortable life!"

De Fei's tears instantly stopped, she snorted, pressed her handkerchief against the tears on her face, and shouted irritably, "Go back to the palace! Eat!"

After returning to Yinyu Hall, Wang Xifeng quickly took a shower and waited for lunch.

However, news came early from the Purple Palace: Emperor Chongzhao would come to have dinner with her, so the emperor brought the regular lunch dishes directly to her.

Wang Xifeng choked up and said, "What's so good about his regular dishes?"

"That's right! Why is your regular dish so tasty, but the emperor's regular dish is not tasty at all?"

Meng Fanshuang suppressed her laughter. "When you were ill the other day, I heard that the emperor asked Li Xuanyi to revise the meal list for the Purple Palace, but Li Xuanyi rejected it."

Wang Xifeng was surprised: "Ah? Why was it rejected?"

"Li Xuanyi said that as a little Xuanyi, she dared not violate any of the taboos given by the imperial physician, the dietary therapy prescribed by the Imperial Food Bureau, and the menu set by the Imperial Concubine.

"So if Your Majesty wants to revise the menu, you have to wait until the Imperial Concubine recovers and discuss it with her. You can't talk to her!"

When Meng Fanshuang said this, she couldn't help but smile with her eyes curved.

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "This Li is really a wonderful person, she has so many excuses to shirk responsibility!"

As he was speaking, Cai Xiangchun came in sweating, holding the meal list for Emperor Chongzhao, with a worried look on his face:

"Your Highness, please allow me to report this. This list was selected and matched by the Imperial Hospital from the list of dishes presented by this servant.

"Now that the emperor wants to change it, I really can't make the decision. What do you think?"

Wang Xifeng held her forehead with her hand and said, "Then let the Imperial Hospital make another copy!"

"The Imperial Hospital said that they were afraid of being scolded. And the Imperial Concubine is quite knowledgeable about medicine, so please come and make the revision."

Cai Xiangchun looked confused.

Wang Xifeng's heart was moved: "Which imperial physician asked you to come to me?"

"The Imperial Hospital Director, Director Lu."
