Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

The emperor has issued an order, and the imperial concubine obeys.

Wang Xifeng packed her luggage and went to the other palace that day.

Yes, he did not go directly to Xiaoci County, but went to another palace first to meet the Supreme Lord and the Empress Dowager, and then as the representative of the harem of Daming Palace, he asked for the approval of the Two Saints, and then saw how the concubines would participate.

After all, this concubine died of illness on the surface, and the pomp and dignity seemed to be given to her and the Zhen family, but in fact it was given to the royal family and the Queen Mother.

Therefore, in order to determine the tone of this matter, we still need to hear the will of the Supreme Being himself.

Originally, the most suitable person to handle this matter was Concubine De.

After all, she was also a member of the royal family. From a certain perspective, she was the one with the most noble status that the Supreme Emperor specially found in order to balance the harem of Emperor Chongzhao.

So, when a bridge of bond was needed between the Supreme Lord and the Emperor, she was the most suitable one.

Sadly, so stupid.

He was so stupid that not only did he pull the Wu family out of the court, but he also smashed his own status in front of the Supreme Lord and Emperor Chongzhao into the dust.

But she still thinks that she is a rare smart person who is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, with deep scheming!

This kind of person should be locked up in the harem, but he must not be released to embarrass himself...

There was no choice. After choosing from all over the palace, Wang Xifeng was the most suitable and only candidate in terms of status, position, scheming and eloquence - except for the possibility that she might be trampled to death by the Queen Mother.

The carriage galloped and the horses galloped. In the evening of that day, Wang Xifeng arrived at the Zhongnan Palace with her body almost broken.

The palace was built halfway up the mountain with three big characters written on it: Cuiwei Palace.

From a military point of view, it is somewhat like a strategic fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The outer guards were all from the Cavalry Battalion led by the Supreme Lord, and the guards inside the palace were three hundred Dragon Guards.

Wang Xifeng entered the main gate of Cuiwei Palace, Yunxia Gate, passed the main hall, Cuiwei Hall, and changed sedan chairs at the gate of the inner palace. After walking for another quarter of an hour, she heard a familiar voice outside the sedan chair:

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine, may Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune."

Wang Xifeng's heart moved slightly, and she waited for Jing Li, who came with her, to lift the curtain of the sedan chair for her. She looked outside with a smile:

"Hello, Eunuch Zhou!"

The person outside was Zhou Dai, who looked much thinner but had a sharper look in his eyes.

Zhou Dai bowed with a smile: "I heard that it was the Imperial Concubine herself who came. Your Majesty must have worked hard on this journey."

"It's just an assignment. The emperor is giving me honor, so how can it be hard?" Wang Xifeng got off the sedan chair with a smile, held the wrist that An'er handed to her, took two steps forward and straightened her back.

Zhou Dai smiled and extended his hand to invite him in: "The Queen Mother has arranged for you to stay in Cui Bo Pavilion temporarily, please follow me."

Wang Xifeng nodded slightly and thanked him with a smile.

"The Highness was afraid that you would not be accustomed to it, so he specifically reminded the Queen Mother to prepare a spacious residence for you, and it must not be cramped or stuffy.

"This Cuibo Pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides, which makes it very cool and comfortable.

“Before Concubine Zhen went to the capital, she told His Majesty that the Yanfu Palace where she lived was too hot and she wanted to move here.

"Who would have thought that when the Supreme Lord had ordered people to clean up the furnishings, she came back and died before she could even move..."

Zhou Dai spoke slowly and leisurely, as if to express the importance that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager attached to Wang Xifeng.

But to Wang Xifeng's ears, this sounded like a sarcastic sarcasm towards her!

So, the Cui Bo Pavilion where he was going to live was actually snatched from Concubine Zhen?

Was he worried that the ghost of Concubine Zhen didn't hate him enough, and wouldn't let her go even after her death, and wanted him to compete with her for a place to live? !

"The Empress Dowager is very thoughtful." Wang Xifeng smiled but didn't really smile, and then changed the subject, "It's so hot in summer, and you have to deal with such a sad thing. Are the Emperor and the Empress Dowager in good health?"

"May your Majesty be well." Zhou Dai said in a serious tone, and was very frugal with his words.

This is the most standard answer given by officials when they pay their respects to the emperor.

Both official and solemn.

When Wang Xifeng heard these three words, she knew that she could not get any more information from Zhou Dai.

Okay, that's good.

She doesn't want to waste time talking to idiots!

Wang Xifeng shut her mouth and walked forward slowly.

Jingli, Chunsheng, An'er and Chunnuan who were following behind him looked at each other cautiously without saying a word.

Along the way, the group walked quietly, and even the only sound was Zhou Dai's footsteps.

Cuibo Pavilion is not close.

Zhou Dai originally thought that even if Wang Xifeng didn't say anything to soften the conversation, Jing Li or Chun Sheng would always come up and use Qian Gang as a topic to start a conversation with him.

Unexpectedly, the four people at the back closed their mouths tighter than clam shells, without a sound!

But I have already blocked the way. If I speak again now, it would seem that my aura is three points less powerful. How can I do that?

As soon as we met, I was taken advantage of again?!

Zhou Dai gritted his teeth and held back, walking all the way to Cuibo Pavilion, then he bowed and led Wang Xifeng in, calling the palace maids and eunuchs on duty inside to come out and serve, and then he said goodbye:

"Please change your clothes and rest for a while. When the Emperor and the Empress Dowager summon you, someone will lead you to the main hall."

"I understand. Thank you." Wang Xifeng nodded politely and glanced at Jing Li.

Jing Li nodded, and with a smile, he invited Zhou Dai to come out: "In that case, we will send Eunuch Zhou away."

"What is Eunuch Zhou? He is the deputy chief steward of our other palace. You have to call him Chief Steward Zhou. Do you understand the rules?"

An old eunuch with white hair and beard in Cui Bo Pavilion took advantage of his seniority and taught Jing Li a lesson with narrowed eyes.

Jing Li looked back at Wang Xifeng, and seeing that his master had a cold expression on his face, he smiled, stretched out his hand, grabbed the old eunuch by the collar, and pulled him in front of Zhou Dai effortlessly.

He smiled and said, "Deputy Manager Zhou, I didn't know your official title before, so I didn't use the honorific title. Please forgive me!"

Zhou Dai forced an awkward smile and said, "I've heard that you are now the chief eunuch of Yinyu Palace and have been appointed as the deputy chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Between the two of us, your rank is half a level higher than mine. How can you talk about forgiving or not forgiving the crime?"

"I'm glad you don't blame me." Jing Li smiled and turned his wrist slightly. The collar of the old eunuch was so tight that he opened his mouth and made a hoarse sound, unable to utter a word.

"I don't think such an ancestor can sweep the floor or run errands. He could have been consulted, but his mouth stinks and I'm afraid he will offend his master.

"Please ask Deputy Manager Zhou to take him back. The Imperial Concubine cannot afford him."

Zhou Dai's face turned dark, but he could not refute anything, so he could only agree with a fake smile: "Okay, okay.

"But if you don't let go, I won't let him go. I'll just dig a hole right here and bury him."

Jing Li dragged the old man out of the gate of Cui Bo Pavilion with all his strength, threw him down the stairs, clapped his hands with a smile, and said:

"It doesn't matter.

“My family has been following the Imperial Concubine for several years, and what we are best at is digging holes and burying people.

"Deputy Manager Zhou, rest assured. If you need anything, we will definitely take care of it for you!"
