Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"Fortunately, this is the children's private matter. Tao Ge'er is my eldest son. I think my brother-in-law should not be so inappropriate."

After a while, the prince comforted himself.

However, after a while, the prince became angry again, "This Wang is too cunning! If she knew, why didn't she tell me directly last night?!"

Qinghai smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Once reminded, the source of the information must be clearly stated.

The East Palace of Yi Qiu was still sealed. How could she confess her source of information directly to the Crown Prince?

If I confess to the Crown Prince, wouldn't that be the same as telling the Crown Princess? !

Then can she still have it?

But the prince had already successfully vented his anger on others, so he immediately thought of this and snorted coldly, "Go and give Xia Shouzhong a few whips!"

Qinghai glanced at the prince in embarrassment: "Your Highness, it may not be Shouzhong!"

"Who else could it be?!" The prince slammed the table and said angrily, "It can't be Meng Fanshuang, right? What's more, Wang Shi obviously met Mei Ruoqin last night! How did they meet? Why didn't Shouzhong report it?!

"Shouldn't he fight?!"

Qinghai sighed, leaned forward and said, "Your Highness, even if Shouzhong wants to report, he has to wait until early morning. From this morning till now, he still hasn't had the time!"

"You are willing to speak for him!" The prince looked at Qinghai sinisterly, "Why? Right under my nose, you formed a clique?!"

Qing Hai was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop, crying, "If I were to do something like that, I would be struck to death by lightning in three minutes!"

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden thunder in the sky which had darkened outside!

The entire East Palace was shocked!

Then there was another flash of lightning!

A burst of autumn rain fell with a rustling sound!

The prince glared at Qinghai, then got off his seat and walked to the palace door, frowning: "Today is the Autumnal Equinox, right?"

Qinghai also looked up with a hint of worry: "Yesterday. Yesterday was the autumnal equinox."

"After the thunder on the autumnal equinox, new graves are everywhere..." The prince murmured and sighed, "Send a message to the Imperial Observatory and ask them to prepare. Father will definitely ask about it when he goes to court tomorrow."

Qinghai agreed and comforted the prince: "This year's autumn heat wave comes late. I think it is normal to have occasional thunderstorms even after the autumnal equinox."

"Let's wait and see. If the rain doesn't stop, this year's autumn harvest will be in trouble." The prince was no longer interested in the trivial matters in the backyard. Instead, he frowned and began to worry about state affairs.

He returned to the high platform and sat down, his expression solemn: "Tell Zuo Shuzi to come here immediately! And tell the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Works to come here in the afternoon, and tell them not to wait for the emperor to ask and then panic and make excuses, but to prepare everything quickly!"

Qinghai agreed, turned around, grabbed the front of his robe, and ran out.

The prince spread out a blank piece of paper, picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and without adding any words, began to prepare various countermeasures in case of production cuts and possible natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Changying stayed quietly beside him, cautiously, but with a face full of respect and tears in his eyes.

Afraid that the prince would find out, she blinked desperately, then turned around quietly and wiped it herself.

The prince had of course noticed it, but at the moment he had no time to care and was busy with his own things.

The autumn rain drizzled until the evening.

The Crown Princess felt a little cold on the soles of her feet in Cheng'en Palace, and hurriedly ordered people to make the beds of the Crown Prince, Tao Ge'er, Huo Jie'er and herself thicker: "It is said that every autumn rain brings a chill, so we must be careful."

Hearing that the prince had summoned many people and had been busy all day, he asked anxiously, "How is lunch? What about dinner?"

Zhu Qing lowered his head and reported, "I said I agreed to have lunch with Mei Liangyuan, but I was really busy, so I brought the same four dishes and one soup from the small kitchen of Yi Qiu Palace, which was delicious.

“There’s no sign of dinner yet.

"There are still quite a few people in Lizheng Hall. I heard there is also someone from the Ministry of Revenue, and they brought an abacus with them. I think they want to calculate something quickly."

"In that case, why don't you go there in person and ask Qinghai if you can prepare some hot meals for them. It's raining, windy and thundering outside."

The Crown Princess looked virtuous.

Zhuqing agreed and went.

He Ke quickly finished the rice in his bowl, and took Tao Ge'er's small bowl and spoon to coax him: "It's cold today. If you eat slowly, it will get cold. If you heat it up again, it will not taste good.

"Be good, little brother, and take a big mouthful, ah-ah-ah!"

After playing with ink yesterday, Tao Ge'er and his sister were at their best. As expected, he cooperated by opening his mouth wide and quickly finished his meal.

The Crown Princess was extremely satisfied and touched He Ke's head with a smile: "I have never seen a sister as good as you. It's a pity that I never had one. I really envy Brother Tao!"

He Ke blushed at the praise and said softly, "My younger brother is very sensible. I like him very much. It is my daughter's blessing to be able to take care of him and accompany him for me."

"What a good child." The Crown Princess patted He Ke's little face affectionately again, and then ordered the remaining food to be cleared away.

The mother and her two children washed their hands and rinsed their mouths, and drank tea.

He Ke saw that the Crown Princess washed her hands very carefully, so he hurriedly said to the palace maid, "I have a bottle of perfume in my box, which is specially used for rubbing hands. The wide-mouthed green porcelain bottle has not been opened yet. Go and get it."

The palace maid responded and went to look for him.

He Ke eagerly presented it to the Crown Princess: "This is the hand wipe that the Empress gave me when the Empress brought me to the palace a few days ago. Let's give it to the Empress."

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "You can keep what the Queen gave you. I have it."

"Your Majesty, I just turned six a few days ago... The other day the imperial physician came to see me and told me to use less ointments and cosmetics. Please. This was given by the Empress, and I dare not dispose of it casually.

"Besides, the Queen is kind, and this ointment must be good. I know you have it too, but you love cleanliness and wash your hands often, so you must use a lot! Please accept it!"

He Ke prayed and held the bottle of ointment in front of the Crown Princess's face.

The Crown Princess looked helpless, so she ordered the maid beside her: "Okay. Accept He Ke's."

He also praised the little girl for being filial and clever, and ordered people to prepare thick clothes for the two children to wear the next morning.

Outside the Lizheng Palace, the crow brothers on the branches were still holding on in the rain. They watched until the prince had dinner with everyone else, and then they were busy for another half hour. After everyone left and the prince was so tired that he fell asleep, they flew to the East Palace of Yi Qiu.

After hearing the news, before Wang Xifeng could say anything, the black cat meowed first.

The parrot shook its body and cackled, "How bizarre! You, a useless murderer, are actually chanting Buddha's name! You are selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton!"

"Hey! Stop talking nonsense!" Wang Xifeng glared at the parrot and praised sincerely, "Regardless of whether this prince is the reincarnation of King Qin Guang, just the fact that he is diligent in government and loves the people, and has a kind heart, is worthy of my help!

"Forget it. We have nothing to do anyway. Let's help him...kill some corrupt officials."
