Chapter 109 Play



But at this moment, it's like acting, and no one can stop it.

The Crown Princess was somewhat stunned by this performance.

"The wet nurse said it's because babies have weak stomachs, and if they eat too quickly, or if you move them right after they've eaten, or if they eat too much, they'll spit up milk. But it's nothing to worry about. They'll get better as they grow up." The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Hearing your question, Sister Yan, I don't feel like I'm ignorant anymore."

"Hearing what the Crown Princess says, it seems children are difficult to raise." Yan Nangui smiled at the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has a very hard time."

"Haha, that's right. Guerlain, you've worked hard." Shu Chengfeng thought to himself, "Just keep pretending."

The Crown Princess was delighted to receive this comment. "And, I'm pleased that the wild geese have returned south, knowing their place."

After a few words of small talk, we got up and set off.

The Crown Princess's carriage was second only to the Crown Prince's in terms of extravagance.

The two younger sisters were a little less impressive, but they were still quite large and sturdy.

The concubine waited again. There were no more special carriages after that.

Now everyone got into their respective carriages. In Consort Su's carriage, her maid Fu'er asked, "Consort Su, is Consort Yan trying to curry favor with the Crown Princess?"

"To curry favor? Perhaps." Su Liangdi didn't want to say.

Fu'er stopped asking.

Su Liangdi wondered, was Yan Nangui trying to curry favor? Or had they truly formed an alliance?

The wild geese fly south, the wild geese fly south.

This person is truly remarkable.

From being looked down upon at the beginning to now being someone no one in the manor dares to openly bully, she has come to be.

She was a woman who had been married twice, and she had also suffered a miscarriage in the Meng family.

How could she rise so quickly from such a background?

Even the Crown Prince treats her better now than he did at the beginning.

The group entered the palace and rested in Yaoguang Hall, where the banquet was to be held.

However, the women were all waiting in the side hall at this time.

The Crown Prince went to pay his respects to His Majesty and then to invite the Empress Dowager.

The family members in the Crown Prince's residence have their own rooms, so they don't have to sit with others.

Soon, the time came, and everyone took their seats to wait for His Majesty and the others.

His Majesty, the Empress, the Empress Dowager, and the Crown Prince appeared together. Everyone rose and knelt in obeisance.

Soon, everyone was seated again, and the banquet began.

Today is also a family banquet, but there are more people here. For example, several princesses, as well as several princesses who are getting married to His Majesty.

There were also several of His Majesty's brothers and their families.

Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and sat at the head of the table: "This is the first time we've all gathered together since the New Year."

"Yes, Mother, you can have a good time today." His Majesty said with a smile, "There will be singing and dancing, as well as acrobatics, all of which will be presented in a moment."

"Oh? Is that so? Then I'll have to take a good look." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

Yan Nangui found it amusing; Empress Dowager Jiang's acting skills were truly exceptional.

Of all the people in this room, not one was related to her by blood.

What's so great about her?

She gave birth to several children, but none of them survived. Only one prince grew up, and he died.

Now, her descendants and relatives here have nothing to do with her.

His Majesty's filial piety is fake, and the respect shown by the crowd is not genuine.

She can really keep acting like this; it must be tough being a woman in the palace.

As the dishes were served one after another, everyone was smiling, toasting and talking.

The following song and dance performance will begin; they are all court entertainers, whose skills are superb.

After a song and dance performance, Shu Zhongjing suddenly looked at Princess Rongning and said, "Rongning, I remember you liked to dance when you were little, but you stopped learning later?"

Princess Rongning smiled: "Your Majesty remembers all that? Alas, I was just curious back then, so I was just learning randomly. I never seriously studied it. My youngest daughter, on the other hand, studied it for a few days, but didn't learn anything useful. I won't let her study it anymore."

"Oh? This child has grown so much. Her name is Jinfei, right?" Shu Zhongjing said with a smile.

Yan Jinfei quickly stood up: "Your subject Yan Jinfei greets Your Majesty."

"Hey, what 'Your Majesty'? You should call him Uncle." Shu Zhongjing said sternly.

"Yes, Uncle is well." Yan Jinfei blushed.

"Oh, this child is so beautiful and intelligent, come and let me see him." Consort Zhen smiled and beckoned.

Yan Jinfei then went over.

After seeing it, Consort Zhen smiled and pulled the bracelet off and put it on her: "She's a good child."

Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and said, "She's a good child. She was too young before, so I didn't notice, but now she's growing more and more beautiful." As she spoke, she ordered someone to give her a reward.

They all said that, so it would be wrong for the Empress not to.

So he smiled and asked for a reward, but didn't say anything to praise him.

Consort Li Xian suddenly laughed and said, "Speaking of which, the girls of the Yan family are really good. Look at the one beside His Highness the Crown Prince, she has both good looks and a good figure."

Consort Xu chimed in, "Yes, the Yan family's children are all very good. The General knows how to raise children."

Shu Zhongjing looked over and said, "Oh? I haven't really looked at General Yan's eldest daughter yet. Get up and let me see her."

Yan Nangui rose and stepped forward gracefully, saying, "This concubine, Yan Nangui, greets Your Majesty."

She didn't refer to herself as "your subject's daughter," but rather as "my concubine." This was to indicate that she was the Crown Prince's favored concubine.

At least for now, she was meeting His Majesty in this capacity.

"Hmm, not bad." Shu Zhongjing nodded.

He then looked at the Empress and said, "While it is indeed good, after all... Your Majesty, you have been reckless in your considerations."

That, after all, is quite intriguing.

All eyes turned to him, but Yan Nangui remained composed and allowed himself to be scrutinized.

The Empress smiled and said, "General Yan is the eldest daughter of the emperor, and she comes from a good family. In the end, it's just that the Meng family is not fortunate enough. Your Majesty is overthinking it. As a woman, how could I possibly think so much?"

Shu Zhongjing just smiled and said nothing.

"Sit down," he waved his hand.

His gaze then fell upon Yan Jinfei: "This child truly satisfies me, so I shall bestow upon her the title of Princess. Her title shall be: Jiamin."

Princess Rongning was overjoyed and quickly stood up, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The newly-born Princess Jiamin also hurriedly expressed her gratitude: "This humble woman thanks Uncle for his kindness."

After a few more words of congratulations, the matter was brought to a close.

Consort Lixian and Consort Xu just mentioned Yan Nangui simply to make Consort Zhenzhen unhappy.

It didn't work, but now that Zhou Jingfei still has bloodstains on her head, she's really energized.

But Consort Zhou is now a woman completely moved by the Emperor's grace; she is truly radiant.

She wouldn't argue anymore, and just looking at His Majesty made her feel so happy she almost fainted.

Yan Nangui almost fainted from watching it; good heavens, the women in the palace are truly amazing.

Forced to watch a play all night, and even having to participate in a scene myself, Yan Nangui was exhausted on the way back.

"Remove it from my phone right now."

"Huh? Liangyuan, it's summer. We didn't bring any hooded clothes." She got out of the car with her hair all disheveled?

"Never mind, let's uninstall it. It's already past midnight," Yan Nangui said.

To match her clothes, she styled her hair in a rather large bun today, and right now she really felt like she was going to die.

Chanyi had no choice but to take her hair down.

The geese, exhausted from their southward journey, leaned against the pillow and slumped over.

Life is pretty good now, it's just that it's easy to go bald...
