Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"It's not a big deal. It's just that Li Xuanyi is cautious and only came to ask the Queen for advice yesterday.

"She has never been here before, so she acted rashly. I hope Your Majesty will not blame her."

Wang Xifeng changed the subject and began to explain on behalf of Li Xuanyi, speaking softly and gently, and being extremely humble.

She gave her a way out, and Queen Mo naturally understood, and nodded calmly with a smile: "It's a good thing that Li Xuanyi is cautious.

“Yesterday, I spoke to you harshly for the sake of harmony among the sisters.

"De Fei is the emperor's cousin, and she was personally chosen by the emperor. Let alone you, even I and the imperial concubine don't dare to interfere in her affairs.

"So from now on, as long as she doesn't go too far, Li Xuanyi will still have to help clean up the mess."

He actually put all the blame on Li Xuanyi.

Li Xuanyi just felt like there was a blockage in her throat, unable to move it up or down.

Wang Xifeng smiled and interrupted: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Who is she? How could she possibly go beyond you, Your Majesty?

"If Concubine De is respectful to the Empress, we, the errand boys, can discuss everything.

"If she dares to test the Empress, then even if the Empress is kind, we will not let her pass this level easily!"

Empress Mo smiled with her eyes narrowed: "I know you are strong, but the emperor loves you, and the emperor also values ​​you. You are strong and there are people to support you.

"Li Xuanyi came later, and she has a weak head and shoulders. She doesn't have the ability to take on such a big responsibility like you!

"——Don't teach her bad things!"

Li Xuanyi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed her head respectfully: "I will follow the instructions of the Queen and the Imperial Concubine."

But the teachings of these two people are exactly the opposite, so how exactly she will "carefully follow" it, everyone can only laugh and watch the fun.

In the end, Wang Xifeng patted her chest and promised to get the three thousand taels back: "We must not let Concubine De start such a bad precedent."

He blocked the Queen's mouth again, "Don't worry about this matter, I will go and compete with her!

"I am the most stingy person, and the emperor knows it. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

Empress Mo hoped that the concubines would have conflicts and fight to the death, so she could only sigh, shake her head and wave her hands: "Forget it, I can't control you, just leave it to you."

Wang Xifeng smiled and took Li Xuanyi out to say goodbye, and then they got on the sedan chair together and whispered to her:

"Our queen is in poor health and weak. So if you want her to come forward to administer justice, that's impossible.

“But if you have the ability to seek justice for yourself and give her some compliments, she will wear them with confidence.

"So in the future, if you have any problems, you have to think of a solution yourself. Don't worry about morality or civility. As long as you get the job done, that's it in front of our Emperor and Empress!"

As he said that, he gave her a thumbs up.

Li Xuanyi's heart moved when he heard Wang Xifeng's words: Is she teaching me?

Almost instantly, she accepted Wang Xifeng's kindness. She smiled shyly and said softly:

"I didn't have the opportunity to learn household chores at home, and it was my Aunt Mu in the palace who taught me how to look after accounts.

"I went to ask the Empress to take care of Concubine De, and I also wanted to ask her for advice. Maybe I was clumsy and didn't express myself clearly, so the Empress thought I was meddling.

"Now that the Imperial Concubine has disassembled it in detail and demonstrated it to me, I have benefited greatly. I cannot express my gratitude in words."

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows. This girl understood her meaning so quickly that she couldn't help but laugh: "You are very smart!

"Our harem must be larger than this, and there will be more and more people in the future.

"So we two have a long way to go as colleagues.

"You're welcome, we can just discuss it from now on!"

Li Xuanyi heard that she was unwilling to admit the truth and gave herself enough face, so she was even more grateful: "I will definitely study hard with the Imperial Concubine!"

Arriving at the Pearl Mirror Palace, Wang Xifeng got off the sedan chair and walked inside with Li Xuanyi: "Is Concubine De here?"

Defei was sleeping soundly when Juanjuan woke her up and told her that Wang Xifeng and Li Xuanyi had come together. She was startled and hurriedly got up to wash up:

"Why are they both here together?"

Juanjuan whispered to her, "It seems to be coming from the Queen's side. Maybe it's what Li Xuanyi had someone tell us yesterday."

Before Li Xuanyi reported the three thousand taels to Queen Mo, he actually sent someone to inform Concubine De and asked her to explain how the extra objects should be recorded in the accounts.

But Concubine De was just trying to sow discord between her and Wang Xifeng, so why would she bother with her at this time? She was hoping that she would come to her and embarrass her!

As expected, when she heard that the two of them were coming, Concubine De was delighted and hurriedly washed up, only to see Wang Xifeng and Li Xuanyi strolling in her Pearl Mirror Hall.

And he pointed out the treasures of her temple, and spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, you are pointing and talking, what don't you know? I will teach you!" Defei immediately became arrogant.

Wang Xifeng looked back at her and smiled.

Li Xuanyi then politely bowed to Concubine De: "I greet Concubine De."

Concubine De waved her hand and asked her to stand up: "Alright, alright, you are here to call for punishment, why are you pretending to be polite?"

"De Fei, you should bow to me." Wang Xifeng looked at De Fei with a smile.

Concubine De ignored her and turned to sit at the seat of honor.

Wang Xifeng pointed at Aunt Han and said, "You are the head maid of the Pearl Mirror Palace, right? Is this how you teach your Concubine De the rules?

"You should know what a crime it is to be disrespectful in the palace, right? You didn't even explain the most important thing to her. Do you think your life is too long?"

This crime was too serious. Aunt Han couldn't bear it no matter how hard she tried. She had to kneel down and kowtow: "I admit my crime!"

Wang Xifeng then looked at Concubine De.

Defei stood up angrily, bent her knees hastily as a greeting, then walked around to the second most senior seat and sat down.

"You always do this, and every time you don't get any good results. I just don't understand why you have to make such a fuss in front of me."

Wang Xifeng muttered something, then went to sit at the top seat, then pointed to the seat next to her and asked Li Xuanyi to sit down.

Then he took out the account book and put it beside him, slapping it up and saying, “Thirty or forty thousand worth of things, only three thousand taels were recorded in the account.

"Just make up the money and we'll settle the account. It's up to you what you want to do.

"But if you ask us to cover this irregular deficit, then I will have to tell the emperor to ask the Wu family to make up the money for me.

“I know that your Wu family is rich!

"But I don't know if Princess Kangle and your mother, Madam Cui, are willing to shoulder the reputation of being greedy for petty gains for you!"

Concubine De was so angry that she slammed the table: "For such a trivial matter, you didn't tell me yourself, but went to my family instead. What kind of person are you?!"

Are the kids fighting? The first thing they say is "tell your mom"?!

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Just tell me if this trick of mine works or not?"
