Yinghong is a new girl in Prince Qing's mansion, she is very cute, so she is assigned to work in the kitchen.All I do every day is look around the kitchen to see what ingredients are missing.Although this job is simple, it is also very boring, so most of the time she prefers to have short chats with other maids and mothers.So even though he has not been in the mansion for a long time, he is quite clear about the affairs in the palace.

Recently, there are some unusual things, such as the lack of food in the kitchen. This is not a big deal, because the servants in the mansion sometimes go into the kitchen to grab some food. She always keeps her eyes open. It's over by closing your eyes, but those who steal these days are a little too bold, and they only eat good things that only the master is qualified to eat, and there is more mud in the kitchen.The ferocious muddy trance is quite scary at first glance.

Then one day, she saw a woman in a white dress floating into the kitchen. There were many stains on her body that often appeared in the kitchen, like mud, like a ghost crawling out of a river!

So, Yinghong and the girls thought, this is haunted.The princess who died before the palace came out.

In this way, the news of the haunting spread widely, and everyone said that it was the dead princess who started to make noise because of the arrival of a new princess.

"Was the concubine really killed by..." Yinghong lowered her voice and asked an old woman beside her.

"Hush..." The old mama looked around nervously, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one was there, "Don't die, talk about this kind of topic in the palace!"

"Then, what happened to the former concubines... how, did they die?" Yinghong was only thirteen or fourteen years old, each of them was small and full of curiosity.

"I can't say it... But, the dead one is really..." The old nanny was also speechless. Although she said she didn't want to say it, she actually wanted to say it in her heart, so she lowered her voice, "First This princess is the daughter of General Chen. General Chen has a high position and authority. This daughter is also well-raised, obedient, and as beautiful as a fairy... But she died miserably. While sleeping in the house, she was killed by a careless servant. The candlestick was knocked down, and the fire suddenly ignited. The crackling sound made my heart palpitate. The princess slept soundly inside. In the end, the guards found the fire and rushed in to rescue her. However, she was already choked to death by the fire. , that beautiful face, tsk tsk..."

"Then... what happened after that?"

"What can we do? Although General Chen lost his daughter, our prince also lost a wife. This is a natural disaster. What can we do? But the careless servant who was finally found out is dead." The old mother shook her head and said, " This second wife is the second lady of the Minister of Rites, although she is not as beautiful as Miss Chen, but she is a beautiful woman, but the way of death is different from Miss Chen. She was drowned."

"Drown?!" Exclaimed, Yinghong opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Is there no river in the palace?"

"So there is, it's in the back garden." The old nanny pouted, "However, since the princess was drowned, the pond has been filled, and now a peony is planted, it is said that because the princess was drowned The princess' favorite during her lifetime was peony."

"Why did this man drown when he was fine?"

"Who knows, it's said that she wanted to enjoy the scenery, so she slipped and fell into the water." The old mother said, "The ghost you saw that day may be this princess, who crawled out of the river."

The blood faded from Yinghong's face, she covered her mouth in fear, and kept saying those words that monks often said in her heart.
