"What do you mean, Sister Yan? I didn't mean anything like that..." Xiao Liangyuan said, feeling wronged. "I just told the truth! You people from the Central Plains just can't stand the truth!"

"Are we Central Plains people unable to accept the truth, or are you just too impatient? Perhaps you've learned a lot of tricks by cramming, but you're showing them off too hastily? What? Do you think I'm someone you can mess with?"

Yan Nangui sneered: "Did you hear that I remarried? Or that I'm infertile? You're quite clever; you chose the right person."

"Sister, what are you saying? You said it yourself, how would I know?"

"Only three days after entering the manor, you think you can establish your authority by stepping on me? We're all concubines, yet you think quite highly of yourself." Yan Nangui sneered, "After being called princess for years, do you really think you're a princess?"

"Sister, you've misunderstood, I really didn't..."

"Alright, alright. Yan Shi, calm down. She just came in," the Crown Princess said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will naturally obey." Yan Nangui smiled and then fell silent.

She was obedient, but it was also true that this damn princess had offended her.

Xiao Liangyuan also knew when to stop.

She has a somewhat stubborn personality.

Naturally, she wouldn't get close to the maids in the manor. What she knew was something her father had found out before.

It's because I've heard that people in the Central Plains place great importance on chastity, so the Crown Prince definitely wouldn't like Lady Yan.

Her status isn't too low, so isn't it perfect to step on her?

Even now, she doesn't think Yan Shi can do anything; isn't she just relying on having a good father?

After everyone dispersed, Madam He laughed and said, "Is Your Highness relieved? This one is something else, she's already clashed with Madam Yan as soon as she entered the manor. There's bound to be some trouble."

"Tsk. It's clear they know what but not why. Let them fight it out. If the Yan family is at a disadvantage, I'll naturally lend a hand." The Crown Princess's impression of Yan Nangui was still acceptable.

Madam He thought so too, so she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be careful."

"However, ever since Aunt Lu entered the manor, that one has been much more well-behaved. It would be good if he could stay like this forever."

That one, of course, is from the Ye family.

The Crown Princess sneered, "Can she rely on a servant to guide her for a lifetime? I can't take care of her now, but there will be a time when I deal with her."

The Crown Princess has come to a realization: it's good to keep an incompetent Lady Ye around.

If we really want to bring her down, we'll have to wait until she's in the palace.

It would be far better to bring her down after she has reached a high position than to do it now.

People grow, and each person gradually becomes more mature and skillful.

No one is just getting old.

Even Consort Ye will gradually mature, let alone the Crown Princess?

In the afternoon, Yan Nangui sent someone to invite the Crown Prince.

Shu Chengfeng was still recovering from his injury, so naturally he came.

"I heard you had a fight with the Xiao family this morning? You have such a temper," Shu Chengfeng said with a laugh.

"Oh, so you're defending me now? I thought Your Highness had come to comfort me, but it turns out you're not. You've come to criticize me and vent your anger for your new lover? I've only brought shame upon myself." Yan Nangui rolled her eyes, remaining completely still.

Shu Chengfeng sat down beside her with a smile: "Look at you, are you still angry? Haven't you calmed down yet?"

"That's right, your new favorite is quite something, constantly saying that I was born on an unlucky day and in an unlucky month, and that I'm bad luck for my mother. That's bad enough, but he deliberately stabs me in the heart. He even dared to say my mother is a princess. Humph." Yan Nangui sneered, "How amazing? Doesn't Your Highness like him?"

"Alright, alright, what new love? You called and I came right away, didn't I? You've been wronged, what do you want?" Shu Chengfeng smiled and put his arm around her.

"Give me whatever I want?" Yan Nangui asked.

How could Shu Chengfeng dare to say yes? This woman... she might be asking for a head?

"Tang'er, calm down, don't get angry. You want His Majesty's imperial seal, do you think I can get it from you?"

"Your Highness's worries are indeed profound. Rest assured, they are, after all, Meng Haijiang's men. We should keep them alive. But I cannot suffer this humiliation in vain. What does Your Highness say?"

"...What do you want?" Shu Chengfeng asked helplessly.

"I never expected that. Your Highness is going to reward me handsomely. What's wrong with celebrating my birthday on the Dragon Boat Festival? Does being born on an unlucky day and month make me powerful? Why doesn't she dare say that Your Highness was born on a ghost festival?"

That's right, this person was born on July 15th.

Thank goodness, the Comfortable Clan originated from the Helian Clan.

In their calendar and traditions, there is a practice of worshipping ghosts.

In other words, boys born on the 15th of July or the 1st of October are not considered unlucky; on the contrary, they are believed to be blessed with natural talents and abilities.

Even if Shu Zhongjing wanted to say that the fifteenth of July was unlucky, he couldn't betray his ancestors, could he?

So I neither praised nor said anything, and just let it pass by in a daze.

If anyone were to bring up Yan Nangui's birthday nowadays, they would inevitably have to mention the Crown Prince.

Which is more toxic?

Shu Chengfeng probably thought of this as well, and chuckled: "Fine, fine, do whatever you want, just be merciful."

Yan Nangui snorted: "That depends on how much you reward them."

Since he disliked her birthday, she would make sure that person knew, even if she didn't care. Neither did the Crown Prince.

Shu Chengfeng naturally didn't care about these things, nor did he care about Yan Nangui's birthday.

So soon, someone ordered a large pile of gifts to be prepared in the front yard. These were gifts to celebrate her birthday. Since it couldn't be celebrated later, they were making it up to her.

After that, the people in the backyard had nothing to say.

Sometimes you really can't underestimate the shamelessness of certain people.

Shu Chengfeng arrived in the late afternoon, before dinner was even served, when Xiao Liangyuan came to pay her respects.

Because they live nearby, of course she knew His Highness had arrived immediately.

He pretended to be ignorant of etiquette when he came to pay his respects, and said at the door, "I made my sister angry this morning. I apologize to her in front of His Highness."

Yan Nangui raised an eyebrow and ordered someone to let her in.

Yan Nangui sat down on Shu Chengfeng's lap: "Look how naive you are."

Shu Chengfeng found it amusing: "Just like that, we meet?"

"What, you can't bear to part with your new love?" Yan Nangui pretended to get down. He was held back: "Tang'er is more to my liking than my new love."

When the 'new love' came in, she was also stunned for a moment.

They almost couldn't get the greetings done.

"Did I disturb my sister and His Highness?" she asked innocently.

pity……

In terms of innocent looks, she's not even as pretty as her cousin. Although she doesn't have the ruddy complexion that Yan Nangui remembered from the high-altitude region.

However, her skin is also on the darker side.

Actually, being dark-skinned isn't a problem; being dark-skinned and pretty can be beautiful too.

However, this one doesn't have very attractive eyebrows and eyes; the distance between her eyebrows is too far, and her nose is a bit flat.

At once……

Among ordinary people, she would naturally be considered beautiful, but placing her in the backyard of the Crown Prince's residence...

That would really be...

You taste it...

"You've come at the perfect time, little sister. We're about to start serving the meal, so let's eat together." Yan Nangui smiled and winked.
