Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"Don't set traps for others like this in the future." Emperor Chongzhao stretched out two fingers towards her and pointed them lightly. "If we are discovered and caught, our reputations will be ruined!"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can't catch me."

"It's better to be safe than sorry. The Queen and I were able to survive the battle for the throne safely, all thanks to our caution."

Emperor Chongzhao put the black gold on the ground while smiling.

Wu Jin meowed again, hooked his feet with his tail reluctantly, then slowly walked away, jumped onto the shelf next to the ice basin, and went to enjoy the cool air.

Wang Xifeng stood up and invited Emperor Chongzhao to sit on the recliner. She watched him lie down, took off his hat, pulled out his jade hairpin, loosened his hair, and took a silver comb to slowly comb his hair.

While joking softly, “Times have changed, things are different.

"There were so many fierce beasts in the past, and you were young and had no help, so you had to bide your time.

“But now, if you don’t show off a bit of your strength and act in a humble manner, I will think you are a soft-hearted person, and you will be even more arrogant.

"When my mother first married into the Wang family, she thought that she should be virtuous and be a good wife. But my grandmother not only took my brother away to raise, but even my aunt and uncle dared to bully her.

“Later, there was no other way, so my mother let out her true nature and fought with them a few times, and they finally gave up.

"But they left the impression that we women could give it a try, so as soon as my parents left, they moved on to me.

"Think about it, if my mother was a tough person when she came in, who in that family would dare to show her teeth to our eldest wife?"

Emperor Chongzhao was so angry that he laughed at her nonsense gestures.

But Wang Xifeng kept on chattering: "This is what they call: one strike is enough to prevent a hundred blows from coming!"

This sentence really stunned Emperor Chongzhao, and he fell silent immediately.

Wang Xifeng gently combed his hair and continued to mutter in a low voice: "Besides, we finally had an heir to the throne, but they messed it up a lot.

“I’m so angry here!

"Our Brother Tao is a good man, but do you really not want to leave him a brother to assist him? Even ordinary families outside value prosperity, let alone the royal family?

"Tomorrow those sour people outside will use this to criticize the Queen or me, saying that we are jealous. What can we say in response?"

Emperor Chongzhao's face looked a little ugly.

Wang Xifeng tilted her head to look at them, smiled secretly, and whispered in Emperor Chongzhao's ear, "These people in the palace now are really hard to love.

"Otherwise, why don't we just go with the flow and have a talent show?"

Emperor Chongzhao opened his eyes and tilted his head. The two pairs of eyes were only a palm's length apart. "My noble concubine, there are still five or six concubines in the palace who have not been favored. Why are you instigating me to select concubines? You are wasting the national treasury!"

Wang Xifeng sat up straight and rolled her eyes: "Forget it if you don't want to choose. I just want to have two days of free time!"

As he spoke, he quickly tied up Emperor Chongzhao's long hair, swiftly inserted the jade hairpin he had just put in, and turned around to order lunch to be served.

Emperor Chongzhao stopped her and asked sternly, "When you go back, do you think the Southern Palace can survive?"

"They can stand their ground." Wang Xifeng nodded affirmatively, "The princess and the lady are both sober people, and neither of them has the heart to fight for it.

"As long as the child is not surrounded by servants or wet nurses with bad intentions, the Nan Mansion will be able to make a comeback if it is cautious and careful for a decade or so."

It’s good that there is no competitive spirit.

Emperor Chongzhao's heart was slightly moved: "You mean, the Northern King and the Xiaoyao King both want to compete?"

“Although the Southern and Northern Prefectures are old friends, their friendship has become less and less close in recent years because the four kings have been arguing over who will be the leader.

"The Supreme Lord appointed the Northern Prince to the Ministry of War to manage finances and grain, and to the Cabinet to assist in government affairs, while placing the Southern Prince outside to lead the army.

"To be honest, if these two are really close, then it would be easy for them to rebel!

"But for so many years, the Supreme has never changed this situation, and the capital and the southwest have been at peace. It can be seen that his two governments are only in name only!"

Wang Xifeng said, curling her lips and sneering, "In the inner house of the Southern Palace, the Northern King came and went as if he were in an empty place. It is obvious that he has been planning this for many years!"

Emperor Chongzhao nodded slightly.

"In the round I pushed, the Northern King and the Free and Easy King should have gone in, but I heard that the Free and Easy King was alert and immediately returned to the outer study room after hearing that Chen Duo went to the Southern Palace.

"Jing Quan was alone and helpless, so he had no choice but to let the Northern King go. Without the evidence at the scene, Your Majesty did not punish the Northern King.

"Compared to my petty calculations, Jing Quan's move is truly brilliant. Your Majesty must reward him!"

Wang Xifeng winked at Emperor Chongzhao. Emperor Chongzhao knew she was teasing him, but he nodded seriously: "What the imperial concubine said is very much to my liking. I have already rewarded her!"

Wang Xifeng chuckled, and the two of them looked at each other, then stood up hand in hand, sat down at the round table, and asked about the meal.

Wang Xifeng is a good eater, especially good at pairing food.

After eating a table full of light-colored, light-flavored, well-balanced, fresh and refreshing lunch, Emperor Chongzhao felt his stomach was soothed and his mood was relaxed.

"How come my regular dishes taste good even when they're at your place? Why do they make me lose my appetite just by looking at them in the Purple Palace?!"

Emperor Chongzhao complained a lot.

Wang Xifeng tried to comfort him: "The Imperial Hospital must do everything to take good care of your Majesty's health. I wish all ten dishes on the table were medicinal food.

"Cai from the Imperial Food Bureau has just taken office. Firstly, he is not familiar with your taste habits, and secondly, he does not have the confidence to refute the menu of the Imperial Hospital.

"How can I be here?

"I have always been a person who only cares about food and drink. I only listen to the words of the imperial physician and may not always follow them.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I told Cai this morning that we should listen to the words of the Imperial Hospital, but we should not listen to everything either.

"Just be patient. From tonight on, your meal menu will definitely be delicious!"

Emperor Chongzhao was annoyed: "How about you help me draw up the menu?"

"Don't meddle in other people's affairs if you are not in their position. You let me draft it this time. When I hand over the palace affairs to the Empress, do you want the Empress to draft it?

"It would be fine if you are used to it, but what if you don't like it? What should I do then? Would it be inappropriate to offend the Empress? I think that's inappropriate, right?

"It would be better to follow the old rules and give a few words to both sides. You can also walk around the harem from time to time, who knows, you may even get to eat some unexpected meals!"

Wang Xifeng gave comprehensive advice.

The Imperial Hospital was the most important place for the people in the palace. However, because of its importance, many medical experts from past dynasties occupied it, with varying powers and complicated connections.

She wanted to change the situation, but she couldn't do it on her own; she had to borrow the help of all parties.

Especially the emperor.

So, now that she has this great evidence in her hands, how could she let it go? !
