Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

However, the next day, when Qiao Lian found out that Qiaogui could actually learn needlework from Ruer, she almost exploded!

Why! ?

The spy was valued and learned such a sophisticated skill, while someone as honest and loyal as me was left out? Not only that, but I also had to take on more cleaning duties?!

Qiao Lian was so angry that after she finished cleaning, she hid in the corner of the corridor outside the hall and cried.

An'er had originally planned to come and talk to her and comfort her, but she disappeared without a trace, and he was afraid that this silly girl might talk nonsense and leak the news, so he hurriedly looked for her everywhere.

When she found the person, she discovered that the girl's eyes were swollen like peaches.

An'er was both angry and amused, and did not comfort her. She said with a stern face: "Cheng Hui has set a rule that her private vault must be carefully checked and cleaned once a month.

“Qiaogui followed Ruer to learn needlework, while Jingshuner and Fuguier were cleaning the hall and corridors.

"You come with me."

Qiao Lian did not dare to disobey. She agreed while sobbing, wiping her tears and following An'er into the room closest to the inner hall. Next to that room was An'er and Ru'er's bedroom.

“There are only two keys to this warehouse, one is with me and the other is with Cheng Hui.

“Every time the book is checked, it must be put back into this box and locked back into this cabinet.

"Cheng Hui has something to say. From now on, you and I will be in charge of this warehouse. Ru'er will not be in charge anymore."

An'er said lightly.

Qiao Lian opened her mouth in astonishment.

"Hurry up and shut up. I haven't been in this room for more than half a month, and it's so dusty! Ahem, go get a basin of water and two rags!"

An'er reached out to fan away the dust from his mouth, then covered his mouth and nose with a frown, "I can't listen to Cheng Hui from now on. I still have to clean more frequently. It's so dirty!"

Qiao Lian finally understood!

I am innocent and loyal, so the job I got is to follow Sister An'er to manage the warehouse, and everything that passes through my hands are Chenghui's treasures!

Qiaogui, though she seemed to have acquired a skill, had to make clothes every day from now on! She was doing hard labor!

So, Chenghui knew what was going on!

Qiao Lian, who smiled like a flower, agreed with her toad eyes and ran out to get water and cloth. She refused to let An'er get his hands dirty, saying:

"Sister still needs to check the books and things. What if there are dirty black marks on the treasures? This is absolutely not allowed! I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Seeing that she worked hard and was not greedy at all, An'er finally put his worries aside and smiled with satisfaction, letting her go wash her hands first:

"You have to come with me and look at these things a few more times and touch them a few more times, then you can recognize what the real good things look like! Go, go!"

Qiao Lian was so excited that she ran out to get some water to wash her hands, and even put cold water on her eyes before coming back.

An'er taught her step by step how to identify what is jade, what is jadeite, what is emerald, how to distinguish gold and copper, how to identify silver and tin, and so on.

Not to mention.

August 21st is approaching, and Emperor Shengping’s birthday celebration is about to begin.

The fine autumn rain that had lasted for three days and four nights finally stopped, and the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the weather was fresh and pleasant.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess took Princess Heke and Prince Duan to the Daming Palace. Before leaving, they also took away the birthday peaches made by Geng Chenghui, the Shu embroidery presented by Wang Chenghui, and the chess pieces presented by Mei Liangyuan.

As soon as the four left, the three people from Yi Qiu Palace secretly asked the maids to pass the message back and forth, and finally they reached an agreement: have barbecue for lunch!

The sky finally cleared up, and the ground was wet, but it didn't feel dry.

In addition, before the Crown Princess left, she also sent potted chrysanthemums, large vats of osmanthus trees, as well as begonias, golden camellias, phalaenopsis and other fresh flowers and plants to the Yichun and Yiqiu palaces. The palace was filled with flowers in full bloom and was a feast for the eyes!

The three of them felt really embarrassed not to enjoy it carefully.

Only Meng Fanshuang looked at the beauty on the ground with a serious expression and asked Xia Shouzhong in a low voice: "Is Yichun Palace like this too?"

Xia Shouzhong was bewildered: "Yes! For the emperor's long life, even if no one lives in Yichun Palace now, it still needs to be decorated well.

"Not to mention Yichun Palace, even the pond courtyard to the west and the archery hall to the east have been newly decorated!"

Meng Fanshuang lowered her eyes for a long while, and finally confirmed: "Are the decorations exactly the same as those in our Yiqiu Palace?"

Xia Shouzhong was speechless and glanced at the two young eunuchs beside him.

Fuguier immediately responded: "That's right! I ran around specially.

"In the entire back hall, only the Cheng'en Hall has some peonies and roses, and a few pots of orchids. The rest are exactly the same!"

Jingshun said nothing, but nodded.

Meng Fanshuang sighed softly: "It seems that we really have to take advantage of His Majesty's longevity to add a few more people to the East Palace..."

After these words were spoken, Xia Shouzhong and the two young eunuchs were all stunned!

Xia Shouzhong frowned, and after a while, he whispered, "Yes, it should be. Well, it's only a matter of time."

After thinking it over again and again, she lowered her voice and said, "Aunt is a woman, so it's easy to talk to. Please persuade Cheng Hui not to think too much about this kind of thing.

"During the more than 20 years that the late emperor was on the throne, he had 30 to 40 concubines who were worthy of being called favorites.

"I won't talk about the current harem... but the dragon gave birth to 19 sons, and that doesn't even include the princess...

"No matter how lonely the prince is, His Majesty and the Queen will not leave him alone now that he only has one son and one daughter.

"In the future, there will inevitably be a lot of people..."

Speaking of this, Meng Fanshuang's face gradually calmed down, and she nodded and said, "Cheng Hui has already figured this out.

"Otherwise I wouldn't be so close to Mei Liangyuan and Geng Chenghui."

Looking from afar at three young women sitting opposite each other, all practicing calligraphy with their heads down, Xia Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Mei Ruoqin and Geng Simiao were very satisfied with the roast meat for lunch, but Wang Xifeng could only eat some roast vegetables. She was still not very happy. For dinner, she refused to pay attention to the other two and ordered five-color porridge and jujube and yam cake for herself.

Meng Fanshuang and Xia Shouzhong were extremely satisfied with her skin care methods and praised her again and again in front of her.

Wang Xifeng herself privately complained to the parrot and the black cat: "In that life, I thought I was made of iron, but I ended up being sick and dying in a snowstorm.

"This time I will start taking care of myself from now on, and then practice martial arts and literature. I will practice piano and chess tomorrow. I just don't believe that I can still get seriously ill?!"

The cat and the bird said, "Lord Phoenix, you have lived for ten thousand years. Do you really want to fight for just a few decades of this catastrophe?"

It was not until the evening that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess returned with back pain.

We set off early again the next morning.

But this time he only brought Prince Duan with him and left He Ke in the palace.

The Crown Princess was afraid that she would be lonely, so she simply sent her to Wang Xifeng’s palace: “Actually, she has lost her mother.

"Yesterday I went to Daming Palace and kowtowed to the emperor to show my filial piety.

"Nowadays, there are so many people over there, and it's full of flowers and willows. It seems more appropriate to let her hide here with you.

“The ceremony lasted a total of half a month.

"Wang Chenghui, please work hard and look after He Ke for me in the next few days.

"After the birthday celebration, I will come to take He Ke back."

After Wang Xifeng heard the message, she took a closer look at the little princess, whose eyes were filled with a hint of hatred and a little fear, and responded with a smile on her face:

"This is the first time that the Crown Princess has assigned me an errand! I will do my best to take good care of the little princess!"

He turned around and told An'er:

"Get another set of tables, chairs, pens, ink and books!

"Little Princess, come and take lessons with me and write!"
