Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

(The layout of the palace in this book is all fictional, a mixture of the Daming Palace and Taiji Palace in the Tang Dynasty and the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties! The names of the concubines in the East Palace and the Harem are also mixed! Please do not do any research! After all, the original work is also fictional!)

When Ping'er hurried back from Wang Jialuan, the secret conversation had just ended.

Aunt Meng sighed and pulled away Wang Xifeng's hand that was holding her arm: "Since the young lady has made up her mind, I will do as you say."

Ping'er knocks on the door outside.

Wang Xifeng sat at the table with a smile and let her in.

"Sure enough, the decree from the palace is that the eldest daughter of the Rong family is virtuous, filial, talented and virtuous, so she was selected to enter the palace as a female historian."

Ping'er's eyes were bright.

After all the fuss, it turns out that my cousin is a female historian! My own daughter is the heir apparent of the crown prince! There is a huge difference in rank between the master and the servant here!

Wang Xifeng knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression and laughed: "Why are you so happy?!

"It's hard to compare anything else, let's just say, which one is more respectable, the most popular maidservant by my grandmother's side or my second uncle's concubine?"

Ping'er choked.

Then he looked unhappy.

——Whether she is Cheng Hui or not, she is just the prince’s concubine.

"Mei Xiang, we are sworn brothers, and we are both slaves! We happen to be cousins, so it's suitable!"

Wang Xifeng openly made fun of herself, but there was no sign of self-deprecation. She stood with her back straight and looked very high-spirited.

Aunt Meng didn't know what to feel, so she got up and went back to her room. When she came out, she ordered Ping'er to send someone to Shunzhen Gate in the north of the palace to deliver a letter inside.

It's getting dark.

The entire Wang family was curious about what Wang Xifeng had learned throughout the day.

When it was time for dinner, Wang Xifeng pretended to stay in her room and eat with Aunt Meng, refusing to show up.

After the meal, the Wang family finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent Wang Jialuan to find out what was going on.

The black cat rushed in before Wang Jialuan entered the room, and meowed at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

Oh?

Four people, four ideas?!

This is good, this way I can play the middleman... Oh no, I want to maneuver!

Wang Jialuan came in later, looked at it curiously, and said with a smile: "This cat has been following me for a long time, especially during dinner, it kept circling around me.

"Sister, are you so focused in class today that you forgot to feed it?"

Wang Xifeng clapped her hands and called out to Ping'er, "I was wondering, why are you yelling at me? When did Wu Jin have his last meal?"

"Yes, yes! I was careless!" Ping'er smiled, knelt down and admitted her mistake, then hurriedly picked up the black cat and walked away.

As soon as Aunt Meng saw Wang Jialuan's rolling eyes, she knew what she wanted to do.

Feeling impatient, he said, "Sister Chenghui is chatting, I just want to take a break too," and went back to his room, closed the door, and even let the bolt make a loud noise when it fell.

Wang Jialuan was stunned. She quickly walked over to grab Wang Xifeng, covered her mouth with her hand, and asked her in a low voice: "Sister, how can an aunt from the palace have such a bad temper?"

Wang Xifeng winked and waved her hands in panic, hurriedly pulling her into her inner room, and ordered An'er to close the door. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and fell on the couch with a bitter face:

"Good sister, your sister is dying of exhaustion!"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Sister is about to enter the palace to be an empress, and you are still so shameless!" Wang Jialuan smiled and kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the couch, leaning over to Wang Xifeng's ear and asking her,

"Sister, what did you learn today? I saw you got up at five in the morning, and you even did some boxing! How long has it been since you last did some boxing?"

Wang Xifeng whimpered for a while, then turned over and pressed Wang Jialuan under her, tickling her playfully: "Oh my! Our sister Luan is only seven or eight years old, and she's already envious of the ladies in the palace?

"That's perfect! Do you want me to talk to your aunt and ask you to learn the rules in advance and enter the palace tomorrow? I think the prince will love such a fresh and tender young lady even more, right?!"

Wang Jialuan's face turned red, partly because she couldn't help the itchiness and partly because she was shy. She turned over on the bed, covered her face with her hands and giggled.

At the same time, he begged for mercy: "Good sister, I was wrong, sister, please stop it!"

Wang Xifeng then let go of the hand that was holding the little girl down and pulled her up, but she did not let her go and continued to tease her in a low voice:

"What? Did your sister hit the nail on the head? You are just a little girl. You are only a few years old, and you are already thinking about your in-laws?"

Wang Jialuan was so embarrassed that she hid in her arms, her ears turned red, and she whispered, "I didn't! It was my mother..."

When the word "mother" came out, Wang Xifeng paused.

Wang Jialuan also froze.

The two slowly separated.

Wang Xifeng's face was filled with disbelief, and her eyes widened: "What did you say? Second Aunt has really started to think about your marriage?"

"Yeah." Wang Jialuan's face was red, but she slumped down in depression:

"My grandmother said that after my cousin Yuanchun has established herself in the palace, seven or eight years later, when I happen to be selected for the imperial selection, I will be allowed to enter the palace.

"My father said that the palace is not a good place to go, so it would be better for me to marry into a family of my old friend. With his status, I can definitely become a clan wife, or at least the mistress of a family of equal status.

"My mother didn't say anything at the time, but when she sent me out, she said that there was no place like my maternal family, and she wanted to marry me back to my uncle's family in the future."

She started to cry as she spoke, "My uncle is only ten years old and as fat as a pig! I don't want to marry him!"

Wang Xifeng remained silent.

If her parents were also in the capital, would she also have these three choices, instead of entering the Eastern Palace or marrying Jia Lian, that playboy...

"Silly sister, grandma and uncle and aunt have chosen good paths for you..." Wang Xifeng sighed.

Wang Jialuan pouted instantly.

Wang Xifeng smiled again, pulled her into her arms, and asked in a low voice: "Then tell me, what do you think?"

"It's not like the Jia family doesn't have any girls! The second girl in their family is two years younger than me, and the third girl is five years younger than me. Isn't it obvious who Cousin Yuanchun will choose to enter the palace to help her in the future?

"As for relatives, my eldest aunt is close to my family, but isn't she close to my second aunt? Isn't Baochai from my second aunt's family only two years younger than me?

"It's still unclear who cousin Yuanchun will help by then!" Wang Jialuan said, lowering her head and kicking her legs in annoyance.

Wang Xifeng chuckled and reached out to stroke her face to embarrass her: "So my sister is so ambitious and has her sights set on the palace!"

Wang Jialuan bit her lip and blushed, but looked straight at her and asked softly, "Sister, if you really entered the East Palace, would you help me?"

"Nonsense! You and I both have the surname Wang! What does other people's surnames, Jia or Xue, have to do with me?!"

Wang Xifeng pinched Wang Jialuan's nose and laughed softly, "You are my cousin. If I can't invite my aunt to the palace to accompany me in the future, can't I ask my sister to go too?

"Silly girl, what does it mean that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first?

"If you don't understand, go ask your mother and see if she understands!"

Wang Jialuan was very happy.

Wang Xifeng's eyes flickered slightly.

The parrot on the shelf looked at the two people and couldn't help but move two steps to the side and huddled into a ball.

People are so complicated and scary!
