Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 64 Mid-Autumn Festival

The prince was busy for most of the month during the Wanshou Festival.

In fact, the general rules of this matter had been decided three or four months ago, that is, after the Spring Festival and before the selection. Now it was just that all the preparations were done and it was time to start the real work, so he had to go around and check it out.

Of course there are some tricks in the corners.

The prince has always been a person who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. When he saw that some people were fooling the emperor on his birthday, he couldn't help but get angry and severely punished some people.

When those who were being questioned looked at each other, they immediately pushed the most serious one to go to the palace to cry and complain - Queen Mo's eldest brother, Marquis Cheng'en Mo Feng.

Queen Mo was very angry. She ridiculed her elder brother in a sarcastic way: "You smashed the father's pot, but you don't allow the son to clean up the stove. Brother is still eating the father's food, how come you have forgotten your own weight?"

Mo Feng said shamelessly: "I am his uncle! Without my Mo family, where would he come from?!"

"Well, it seems that my brother is tired of living." Queen Mo confirmed calmly, then turned around and asked someone to call the prince, and repeated his words in front of the panicked Mo Feng.

Finally, he told the prince, "If you can say such things in front of me, you must be very arrogant in private!

"After the Wanshou Festival, you must personally conduct a thorough investigation of the entire Cheng'en Marquis's household.

"This kingdom will be yours in the future.

“Your mother, your sister, and your brother all depend on you to support us.

"No matter what his last name or name is, as long as there are any termites that may destroy your kingdom, don't worry, your mother will support you in crushing them to death!"

Mo Feng knelt on the ground, his forehead bleeding.

After all, considering that Emperor Shengping was about to celebrate his birthday, the prince only asked Mo Feng and his family to quit all their jobs and return to Tai County to farm and study.

He doesn't even give face to the prince's uncle, who else in this world can take advantage of the prince? !

All the people in the Imperial Household Department, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Works and other government offices who were preparing for the Wanshou Festival became obedient overnight.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival came, a family banquet was held in the palace. Emperor Shengping personally toasted Empress Mo with a glass of wine and said, "It's hard for you to work hard all year round."

Queen Mo's eyes turned red.

Everyone below was busy raising their glasses to toast.

Princess Yongning did not come because she was pregnant, so Prince Zhongsu smiled and said to his husband, "Did you hear that? The ordinary affairs of the palace have long been handed over to Empress Zhen. My mother has never been interested in intervening in my brother and sister-in-law's family affairs.

"I am full and the whole family is not hungry. It seems that my mother is only busy with my sister and brother-in-law's affairs, and my father is not happy about it!"

The prince consort chuckled and followed suit, then solemnly crossed his arms and bowed to apologize, "Yes, yes, yes! Tomorrow Yongning and I will definitely not trouble mother again! If I cause father to be distressed and angry, how can I bear it?"

Emperor Shengping laughed loudly and scolded: "Two little monkeys, they are making fun of me! Damn it! Prince, quickly make them drink for me!"

The prince also smiled, and took a wine jug in each hand and dumped it on the table for two people, with his hands on his hips: "Drink! This is a reward from the emperor! If you dare to leave even a drop, I will punish you two to follow me to the Thousand Old Men Banquet tomorrow!"

This is not a punishment!

Prince Zhongsu had just come of age, and his husband had been idle at home. Now the crown prince had openly found the most appropriate jobs for them, and the court officials could not find any fault with them.

The son and son-in-law inspected the old man's birthday banquet. What qualifications do they need? This is a filial act of family!

It was such a happy occasion that even Emperor Shengping and Empress Mo smiled in approval and nodded repeatedly. Naturally, everyone joined in the cheering and made the two men drink two pots of wine!

The prince consort was naturally grateful. However, Prince Zhongsu had not been close to his brother for a long time. Once he caught the prince, he would not let him go and stuck to him for a long time. The two brothers were drunk.

In this way, every family helped the drunk people go home and ended the banquet happily.

After returning to the East Palace and settling the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess pounded her aching waist, went to the side hall to check on Tao Ge'er who had fallen asleep in the middle of the family banquet, and then went to the clean room to take a bath.

It's getting a little cool at night.

After washing away the smell of alcohol, the Crown Princess was not satisfied with just wrapping herself in a bright red long-sleeved silk dress, so she asked for a thin black cloak and put it on, half lying on the beauty couch and letting Zhu Qing wipe her head.

"Are you tired, Madam?" Zhu Qing was afraid that she would fall asleep, so she chatted with her in a low voice.

The Crown Princess closed her eyes and sneered, "Why should I be tired?

"They are father and son, mother and daughter, and I am an outsider, sitting next to them like a wooden statue, eating, drinking and smiling foolishly, without me saying a word, so I am not tired."

This was a bit infuriating.

Zhu Qing sighed inwardly and whispered, "Your Majesty is too straightforward. You must never say such things in the future."

"I know, walls have ears." The Crown Princess still closed her eyes. After a while, a tear slowly slid down the corner of her eye. "Haven't I done well enough? Your Majesty and Queen, why do you have to slap me in the face like this?"

Zhu Qing fell silent.

Today, when the Crown Prince went to Daming Palace to attend a family dinner, he rarely got on the Crown Princess' carriage and rode with her.

The Crown Princess was flattered and overjoyed, and she was busy pouring tea and bringing snacks to the Crown Prince.

But after the prince had eaten and drunk, he drove Zhu Qing, who was serving him, out of the carriage.

He stayed in the car and informed the Crown Princess of two things.

The first thing: at the request of Li Fan, the governor of Shanxi, Zhou, the cousin of the deceased Li Shuren, will enter the palace as a courtesy to take care of He Ke for her cousin; and the prince's aunt, Princess Kangle, has a granddaughter, Wu, who is very much loved by the queen. She will enter the palace with Zhou and be granted the title of Liangyuan.

The second thing is that He Ke will be recorded under the name of the Crown Princess from now on, becoming the eldest daughter. The day after tomorrow, she will move back to the West Pond Courtyard with Gu Liangyuan. Gu Liangyuan will live in the main room, He Ke will live in the west wing, and the east wing will be left to Zhou.

As for Wu Liangyuan, she will live alone in Yichun Palace.

Zhu Qing heard this and felt terrified.

The emperor and the empress worked together and sent two Buddha statues to the Eastern Palace!

Especially Wu Liangyuan, who had a good family background and a high position. As long as this woman had a little bit of brains and good manners, she would be a strong rival for the Crown Princess!

Compared with this guy, the three in Yi Qiu Palace are nothing but ants!

——The Emperor and Empress’ dislike for the Crown Princess is so obvious!

And the Crown Prince, who had always protected the Crown Princess and tried his best to resist the entry of new people into the Eastern Palace, for some reason, this time accepted everything without saying a word!

Zhu Qing quickly reviewed recent events in his mind, and thought of how he had been criticized by several nobles in the palace. He changed his mind and couldn't help but sigh and whispered:

"It seems that Li Shuren's matter...

"Although you are going with the flow, you are still a little hasty after all."

The Crown Princess opened her eyes, full of indignation: "Why? She abuses her daughter and bullies the servants, and I should praise her?!"
