Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

In the heavy rain, a man and a horse calmly walked out of Danfeng Gate, walked a few steps south, turned a corner, and went onto Zhuque Street.

Then he jumped on the horse and whipped it hard on its buttocks. The horse then galloped away like an arrow with all four hooves in the air!

The wind does not end, the shower does not end.

By dusk, in less than half a minute, the clouds dispersed, the rain stopped, a rainbow appeared in the sky, and even a sunset glow covered half the sky, which was as red as fire and as bright as brocade, and was beautiful beyond words.

Shi Jincheng noticed that the rain outside had stopped. He did not even care that his shoes and skirt were wet and dirty, and climbed onto the eaves of the Chang'an Palace to watch the rainbow and sunset. He was so fascinated and amazed that he could not even shout to stop.

In this sky full of rosy clouds, the round sun with a red tint and orange glow slowly set. A group of birds came from nowhere, flew over the red sun, made a lot of noise over the Daming Palace, and then scattered.

Shi Jincheng raised his eyebrows slightly with a hint of smile, looking straight in the direction of Yinyu Palace. He saw the birds pretending to stay somewhere else, and then they all landed on Yinyu Palace one after another, early and late.

"My Lord... Feng... My Lord..."

Shi Jincheng whispered softly.

Seeing that the rain had stopped, Yuan no longer hesitated and insisted on taking Wang Xuanhe out of the palace and going home.

Wang Xifeng couldn't keep her, so she had to let her go.

But time was tight, so I didn't prepare any gifts.

"When the Yuan mother and daughter left the palace, they only held the box of uterine flowers that the Empress had just awarded to Princess Heke."

The little palace maid came to report to Penglai Palace.

Kailan immediately complained, adding fuel to the fire: "This imperial concubine is really ignorant. She didn't even bother to look at the things that the empress gave to the princess, and directly gave them to her orphan adopted sister. This is extremely disrespectful!"

Queen Mo waved her hand and ordered the maid and others to leave, then called Kale to come forward.

Gan Lan was so excited that he couldn't hide his excitement and handed his ear to Queen Mo.

Queen Mo raised her hand coldly.

"Snapped"!

A slap landed crisply on Kale's face!

Gan Lan was stunned by the beating. He dared not say a word and quickly knelt on the ground: "My queen, calm down!"

"I asked you to get the velvet flowers, but are you deaf? You took the box of gauze flowers instead!

"Those are the palace flowers that the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave to you as a gift. I plan to use them to reward the palace maids during the Ghost Festival!

"You insulted the princess and misinterpreted the princess's order. Every word you said was meant to instigate me to lower my status and mess around with the concubines. What exactly is your intention?"

Queen Mo's eyes were extremely cold.

Kai Lan trembled all over and kowtowed repeatedly: "This slave has absolutely no such intention, but, I just think that the concubines should be more respectful to the queen..."

"Which concubine would respect me when I have a stupid servant like you by my side? You might even laugh at me in private. You can't even discipline a servant!"

Empress Mo snorted coldly, "The eaves of Dajiao Temple were struck by lightning, and the court must be in turmoil. If the harem is in chaos again because of such trivial matters, your majesty's reputation will definitely be greatly damaged!

"When I have nothing to do, I will just turn a blind eye to your tactless behavior. But at this critical moment, you are still so tactless, so I will not tolerate you!"

He immediately gave the order, "Come here, I want to send something back to the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, summon two eloquent guards!"

Kai Lan's face turned pale. Just as he was about to shout, he saw the cold eyes of Queen Mo and covered his mouth again. He sobbed and kowtowed to her:

"I am willing to deliver the things back to the palace for you. Please give me a chance to live!"

Seeing that she finally understood, Queen Mo's expression relaxed: "You are not that stupid.

"In that case... I will grant you a good future. How you go on in the future depends on your own luck."

Kale kowtowed tremblingly: "Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty..."

"I heard that my brother Mo Lin's wife is pregnant. When you go back this time, give her some ginseng and bird's nest for me.

"At the same time, I will give you to Mo Lin as a concubine!"

Queen Mo looked straight at Kale with a sneer on her face.

Kailan shuddered, and raised her head with a pale face: "My lady, I am a first-class palace maid, of the seventh rank..."

"So, whether you can become a noble concubine and the next concubine of the next Marquis Cheng'en depends entirely on your own ability!"

Queen Mo leaned back on the big pillow and sneered, "This is the best way I can find for you. You must fight for your dignity for me and yourself!"

Gan Lan forced himself to kowtow to Queen Mo once more, then staggered to his feet, walked out of the hall, turned around, stumbled back to his room, and packed up his belongings.

but……

How could she be willing to accept this!?

Kale sat on her bed, gritting her teeth. The royal blue Dora cloth bag embroidered with pink passionflower was wrinkled into a ball by her!

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Zitang was sent back and married to a manor far away. The man chosen by the master and the mistress scolded her every three days and beat her every five days. When they entered Daming Palace at the beginning of the year, news came from the mansion: Zitang died of dystocia.

Zhu Qing's death was even more unclear.

As for her, she was just a small maid in the girl's courtyard. It was only because of her parents' greed that she was sent to the palace.

But before entering the palace, my aunt secretly reminded me: “The Queen has everything she needs, except for servants. She can get thousands of them with just a wave of her hand.

"If you don't want to be the next Zitang Zhuqing, you must find a way yourself..."

Yes.

She has been thinking of a solution.

But she never expected that the emperor would become more and more polite to her master, and even from the time she entered the palace until now, the couple had never spent a night in the same bed...

What could she, a maid of the queen, do?

Kailan lowered her head, tears dripping down her face. In just a few breaths, a large area of ​​the mattress was soaked.

Be a concubine...

She thought of Maureen's indistinguishable expression and couldn't help shuddering.

No no no no!

She didn't want to be someone else's concubine, especially the queen's brother who was cold-hearted by nature.

Kale gritted his teeth secretly.

No, she wants to give it a try!

There was a sinister light in her eyes!

Kale sat up straight, wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, then sat in front of the mirror. In the dim candlelight, like a ghost, she began to carefully draw her eyebrows, apply rouge to her eyes.

Outside the window, two guards stood there indifferently, holding their swords.

Half an hour later, Zichen Palace received the news:

The Queen's personal maid, Kale, accidentally fell into the Taiye Lake and died without being rescued.

Emperor Chongzhao raised his eyebrows.

Changying happened to be away at this time, and Fuguier was holding his stomach and kneeling on the ground to wash the emperor's feet.

Hearing this, she curled her lips and muttered, "In the middle of the night, how could she, a first-class palace maid, go out alone and fall down..."

Jianzhong, who was standing next to him, also felt confused: "The Imperial Concubine specifically instructed the patrolling guards to watch carefully and not let the palace maids slip…"

Emperor Chongzhao lowered his eyes.

Silent.
