Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Xifeng sat on the bed, her hands on her knees, her eyes shining brightly, listening to An'er and Ru'er sitting opposite her telling her about the three new arrivals.

"...Wu Liangyuan is bright and generous, and I feel happy just looking at her!

"... Zhou Fengyi is a pretty girl, especially her nose and mouth, which are very delicate! But she doesn't look very courageous, and is about the same as Geng Chenghui.

"...Mo Chenghui looks the smartest, a bit like you."

An Er paused here, and whispered with a hint of vigilance, "I heard that she is the prince's cousin and is the queen's favorite! The crown princess always speaks sourly to her!"

"Sour?" Wang Xifeng asked in a low voice with an interested look on her face, "Shouldn't we be polite?"

An'er shook her head: "It was just a joke! Mo Chenghui even called her 'cousin', but the Crown Princess refuted him in person. I feel that these two will fight for a long time in the future!"

Wang Xifeng excitedly turned over and knelt, rubbing her hands together: "Wow, there's something interesting to watch!"

"Girl! You're right next to us, aren't you afraid of getting covered in blood?" An'er said coquettishly.

Wang Xifeng chuckled: "That's more interesting, isn't it?"

As he said this, he lay down again and let out a long sigh, "This is the palace, unless we die, we will have to stay here for the rest of our lives.

“If you try to do everything yourself, you will be exhausted.

“But if you want to avoid everything, that’s pure dreaming.

"All I can say is... life is just a dream, let's wait and see how the autumn cools down!"

An'er was speechless when he heard the lady's strange angle. He could only put his elbow on Ru'er's arm and said, "What do you think?"

"Ah, if you ask me..." Ru'er smiled gently, "Our girl's hard work in school these days has not been in vain. When I heard this sentence just now, it seemed like it was just what Master Xia said the other day. You see, the girl remembered it immediately."

Wang Xifeng chuckled, "That's what the scholar Su said in the previous dynasty: 'The world is just a big dream, life has many chilly autumns.' Ru'er really didn't wait on you in vain. She's so smart, she remembered it clearly!"

"Miss, don't you remember? Ru'er has had a good memory since she was young! There are so many things in the storehouse that Madam left behind. I couldn't remember them even after checking the book eight times, but she remembered them clearly after just two visits!"

An'er begged Wang Xifeng, "Why don't you let Ru'er take care of your private vault?"

"Then you can make clothes for me, embroider socks, and teach Qiaogui?" Wang Xifeng glanced at her, "Hurry up and learn what you should learn.

"My lady, I can only seal the palace for three years, and it has already been half a year.

"Once the war starts, I won't be able to keep any idle people around me!"

An Er was startled: "Girl, you are scaring me again! Where is the big fight coming from? Didn't we agree to just watch the fun?"

"It's getting late, let the girl go to bed early." Ruer smiled and took her arm.

An'er looked out the window and saw that the moon had already climbed above the treetops. She stood up quickly and said, "That's right. Go to sleep, girl!"

He extinguished the candle, looked at Wu Jin who was sleeping soundly on the mat at the foot of the bed, and Jin Ercai who was sleeping with his eyes closed on the shelf, and then he retreated with Ru'er.

After a while, there were two gentle taps on the window frame, and Wang Xifeng turned over in bed.

Jin Ercai opened his eyes, took two steps on the shelf, and flapped his wings towards the outside.

cried the Crow brothers.

Halfway through the conversation, not only did the black cat Wu Jin open his eyes and turn his head, but even Wang Xifeng sat up and curiously stuck her head out of the tent:

"What? Did I hear it right? It was really Zhou Fengyi's maid who slapped Mo Chenghui?"

The crow brothers quack.

"Wow! Awesome! No matter who you say this to, I guess no one would believe it! This Mo Chenghui is so unlucky, he got treated like a coward right at the start!

"Does Zhou Fengyi know about this?"

The crow brothers croaked.

"Hmm? You don't know? I thought it was her work..."

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up and then dimmed, and then she pounded the bed in frustration, "I can't go out either, I can't even see such a lively scene!!

"Alas! These three years have been a bit difficult... or, one year?"

The black cat turned around and looked at her: "Meow."

"That's right." Wang Xifeng said angrily, "The emperor still has more than two years to live. It's too early for me to open the palace. He might remember to kill me before he dies!"

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, go to sleep!

At this time, Yichun Palace was in chaos!

Mo Huaiyin had never been touched by anyone in his life, and now he was slapped in the face by a palace maid. How could he endure it?

On the one hand, he loudly ordered people to report to the Crown Princess, on the other hand, he ordered people to arrest the palace maid who had committed the crime. At the same time, he kicked open the door of Zhou Fengyi's bedroom, rushed in, dragged Zhou Fengyi off the bed, and beat him up with punches and kicks!

Zhou Fengyi, who had just fallen asleep, had no time to react and was beaten so hard that he screamed in agony until he vomited blood!

Seeing the blood, Mo Huaiyin showed a trace of fear and took three steps back, at a loss. The dowry maid who had been helping hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.

Mo Huaiyin's eyes flashed with sternness, and she burst into tears. She stomped her feet, turned around, and ran straight to Cheng'en Palace: "Cousin! Cousin!"

The dying Zhou Fengyi was thrown to the ground and no one dared to care.

The two maids who followed her into the palace were taken to the outer room by Mo Huaiyin. The other two eunuchs and two palace maids who were assigned to serve her in the inner room were kneeling outside the door trembling with fear.

Finally, the four people found that Zhou Fengyi, who was lying on the ground, was motionless. They looked at each other in shock and doubt: "No, nothing will happen..."

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Mo Chenghui has thin arms and legs, how hard can he hit with fancy punches and kicks..."

"But, he just vomited blood and now he's motionless. What if... we will definitely be blamed!"

After much discussion, the few people finally decided to leave the palace maid behind to watch, while the two eunuchs fled. One went to Cheng'en Palace to report the news and ask the Crown Princess to send for the imperial physician, while the other went to Lizheng Palace to see if the Crown Prince had returned and report the matter to Changying who stayed behind.

When the Crown Princess was woken up from her sleep and listened to Mo Huaiyin's sobbing complaint, and heard that she had beaten Zhou Fengyi herself, she hurriedly asked:

"What about Zhou Fengyi? Didn't he come with you?"

“Who, who knows her?

"I, I was so angry that I slapped her twice. After thinking about it, I realized that I was wrong. I should have told my cousin's wife first. Why don't I come here now?"

Mo Huaiyin pouted and pulled her handkerchief, allowing her maid to apply an ice handkerchief to her face.

The Crown Princess turned pale with anger: "Ridiculous!"

When she was about to send someone to ask, someone outside reported that the eunuchs from the East Hall of Yichun Palace had arrived. The Crown Princess was stunned: "Why didn't Zhou Fengyi come himself?"

“Yes. The eunuchs said that they had Feng Yi lying on the ground without making any movement. He neither called anyone in nor stood up. They didn’t know what to do.

"So I came to ask the Crown Princess for advice on whether we should send a royal physician to take a look?" The gatekeeper maid replied with her head lowered.

The Crown Princess' body shook, and she was trembling with anger. She asked Mo Huaiyin, who was still pretending to cry, in a stern voice:

"Did you just slap her twice, or did you beat her to death?

“Are you crazy!?

"It's the Emperor's birthday, and you've only been in the East Palace for two hours, and you've already killed someone. What on earth do you want to do?!

"How are you going to let the Empress and the Crown Prince explain to the Li and Zhou families? How are you going to let them do this in front of the world?!"
