Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wu Jin slipped into Tao Ge'er's bedroom, and Su Yu followed in like a gust of wind and lightning.

The two cats sniffed and rubbed each other, then jumped onto the bed one after the other while Zitang was outside ordering people to prepare the utensils for the two little masters to get up and wash.

Wu Jin sniffed Tao Ge'er and nestled at his feet.

Seeing this, Su Yu followed suit and curled up on top of He Ke's head, with one eye slightly open, keeping an eye on Wu Jin at all times.

Zitang turned around and went back into the house. Seeing this scene, he was both angry and amused. A cat came up and slapped him, and quietly scolded with a smile: "If you dare to get on the young master's bed again, I will stew your cat meat!"

Wu Jin snorted and jumped down.

Suyu refused and grabbed Zitang's hand with one claw before running away.

Zitang was startled, and hurriedly turned around and went out, washed his hands, and looked at the small cut. Although it was not deep, it was long and slightly bleeding, but it was not a big deal. Then he went back to work.

The two cats chased each other and ran to the Crown Princess's bedroom to play around for a while, which made the Crown Princess laugh and be in high spirits. She ordered them to get up and wash. Wu Jin licked Su Yu a few times, meowed twice, and went back to the East Palace of Yi Qiu.

While eating breakfast in Cheng'en Palace, the Crown Princess saw the back of Zitang's hand and exclaimed, "Is this soft jade or black jade?"

"Su Yu." Zi Tang waved his hands nonchalantly, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt.

"They both jumped onto the young master's bed and I slapped them each. They were solid and my hands hurt from the slaps.

"But Su Yu would never be willing to be beaten for nothing, so she just gave me a claw."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

The Crown Princess looked at He Ke, who was eating while taking good care of Tao Ge'er, and said with a gentle smile, "He Ke, let the wet nurse take care of him, and you eat your own food. The milk cake will get cold soon and won't taste good."

He Ke quickly stuffed the milk cake on the plate into his mouth, took a sip of the milk and swallowed it. He wiped his hands with a towel and said with a naive smile, "I'm full! Madam, my brother ate too much because of me. Please let me feed him!"

The Crown Princess hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay. But I don't have your clothes here, so be careful not to get yourself dirty."

He Ke, who was recognized once again, smiled brightly. He carefully picked up the bowl, took a small spoon, and fed Tao Ge'er the egg custard.

Tao Ge'er ate the food happily with big mouthfuls and finished the whole bowl in just a few bites.

He thought this game was fun, so he pointed at the bird's nest porridge in the Crown Princess's bowl and shouted, "Hey!"

Everyone laughed and hurriedly filled a small bowl of milk and yam puree and handed it to He Ke, who also fed him the food smoothly.

The meal was enjoyed with laughter.

After dinner, the Crown Princess was afraid that the two children would have overeaten, so she personally took them for a walk in the yard, one on each side. She pointed at the flowers and trees and taught Tao Ge'er to speak, and sat under a tree to tell He Ke stories.

He Ke squatted beside the Crown Princess lovingly, and Tao Geer followed suit. Zhu Qing hurriedly brought two cushions for them to sit on.

So, under a hibiscus tree, the Crown Princess sat on an embroidered cushion and spoke softly, while her five-year-old sister held her two-year-old brother's hand, sat on a futon, and listened attentively with her chin in her hand.

A kind mother and a filial son both teach their children well.

This was the scene that Gu Liangyuan saw when she arrived.

She could hardly stand!

His body swayed, and Gu Liangyuan held onto the porch pillar with a pale face.

Zhu Qing just came over with a plate of tangerines. He looked at her with a smile and walked forward to greet her: "Gu Liangyuan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

“Oh, no…” Gu Liangyuan forced a smile, and tried to calm herself down before returning to her usual skills, smiling, “It’s only been a few days, and I’ve gotten used to Sister Xuan sleeping next to me.

"She didn't go home yesterday, and I couldn't sleep. I feel a little dizzy when I woke up early."

After explaining, he pulled Zhu Qing to praise her exaggeratedly, "I also admire your teaching of Jing'er. Tell me, who in the East Palace can compare to the little finger of our Crown Princess!"

Zhu Qing smiled and said, "Gu Liangyuan always hits the nail on the head when she speaks! Of all the concubines in the palace, the Queen likes you the most!"

The two of them walked over together.

Zhu Qing knelt on one knee beside them and peeled oranges for the two children.

Gu Liangyuan had no choice but to squat down. When she found that she was uncomfortable, she simply adopted Zhu Qing's posture, kneeling on one knee, and chatting and laughing with the Crown Princess.

He Ke kept looking at Gu Liangyuan's face with some fear.

Zhu Qing noticed this, and the Crown Princess also noticed it, but neither of them pointed it out.

"Forget it. I talked too much this morning and I'm a little tired." The Crown Princess smiled and helped Zhu Qing stand up, then took Tao Ge'er's hand, smiled and coaxed him for a few words, and then told Gu Liangyuan: "You can take He Ke back."

Gu Liangyuan quickly agreed and stood up, reaching out to pull He Ke.

He Ke froze for a moment, then quickly grabbed Gu Liangyuan's hand affectionately and stood obediently beside her.

The little girl who had a bright smile with big, twinkling eyes and full of intelligence just a moment ago, suddenly turned into an honest, obedient, silent and shy child.

The Crown Princess couldn't help but look at He Ke twice more, then smiled at Gu Liangyuan, "You heard it too, I just promised Tao Ge'er that I would go back to change into new clothes.

"You have to bring He Ke here again tomorrow, and you have to wear new clothes, remember?"

Gu Liangyuan agreed repeatedly: "Your Majesty is a loving mother, I will never let you break your promise to our Brother Tao!"

Sure enough, after lunch the next day, Gu Liangyuan came with He Ke wearing a new dress.

But He Ke seemed a little wilted.

The Crown Princess glanced at Gu Liangyuan, feeling dissatisfied, and ordered Zitang: "Hold He Ke and go take a rest. It's obvious that he hasn't woken up from his nap yet!"

Zitang agreed and reached out to hug He Ke.

Gu Liangyuan's face, which had been smiling like a flower, instantly froze like stone.

He Ke also took two steps back and stretched out his hand cautiously: "Sister Zitang, just hold my hand. I've gained weight these days! Sister can't hold me!"

However, Zitang had just held her the day before and joked: The little princess is as light as the Crown Princess' porcelain pillow!

Zitang's expression changed immediately, but he still took the little girl's hand and said, "Okay! Our little princess has grown up and doesn't like to be held anymore!"

Gu Liangyuan's expression finally relaxed.

As soon as He Ke's head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.

Zitang stood beside her and hesitated for a long time, reaching out his hand and then retracting it, but he still hadn't made up his mind.

It happened that Zhu Qing went into the hall to get something. She passed by the door, saw something strange, and came back. She hushed at the door, called her out, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"I think... there might be something wrong with the little princess..." Zitang sighed, bit her lip, and whispered, "But I don't want to get involved... if there's a misunderstanding, it will cause trouble for our queen."

Zhu Qing tilted his head to look at the frowning, huddled little girl, thought for a moment, and whispered a few words into her ear.

Zitang nodded repeatedly.

More than half an hour later, the Crown Princess outside had become impatient with Gu Liangyuan's flattery and asked about the little princess. Zitang hurried to wake her up.

But the little princess was sleeping soundly.

Zitang gently held the little girl in his arms and whispered to her, "Sister Huo, it's time to wake up. The ladies are asking about you!"

As he spoke, he held her small body with his arms, exerting a little force.

"Ah!" He Ke screamed in pain.

Zitang rushed to comfort him, but in her panic, the wound that was scratched by Suyu the day before rubbed against Heke's clothes, and she cried out in pain!
