Just now, Shuanzi and the others were in a hurry to pack up, and now they are rushing up, their backs are all wet.
The rain was heavy; within minutes, it was as if a curtain of water had been poured across the sky and earth, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
The thunder was very loud, accompanied by strong winds.
The wind caused all the branches in the yard to shake violently.
A pink dress seemed to appear out of nowhere, but before I could even get a good look at it, it was swept away by the wind.
The wind and rain were mixed with clanging and clattering sounds, the sound of the wind blowing something over.
Even the lightning flashed brightly, just like in the night.
This is the first heavy rain of the year.
Chanyi and the others hurriedly closed all the windows. It wasn't cold, but the rain was too heavy and might spill in.
"This rain is really heavy. Please have a seat, Consort. I'll bring you some hot tea in a bit." Chanyi frowned: "Don't let the stove burn out..."
"Then it's probably beyond saving," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
They were tending the stove at the back, but because of the heat, they weren't burning it indoors. They were just tending it under the eaves. With the wind and rain raging, they didn't have time to pay attention to it.
"It's alright, we'll just put the fire back on once it goes out," Yan Nangui said, seeing that she was even more anxious.
"Yes. Why is it raining so heavily all of a sudden? It's like the Dragon King has arrived," Chanyi said.
People at that time still believed in these things.
The people in Jiyue Pavilion were watching the rain intently. Their only concern was whether the stove had gone out.
However, not everyone has it so easy.
Those who live far away haven't been able to get back yet after the greetings were over.
Those trapped at this time include Luo Liangyuan, Han Chenghui, Wang Fengyi, and Liu Fengyi.
Luo Liangyuan and Han Chenghui lived in Tingfeng Garden, while Wang Fengyi and Liu Fengyi lived in the adjacent Chuyun Pavilion.
At this moment, all four people were trapped in the pavilion. Because the pavilion was drafty, the people inside did not feel it, but standing there, they were being blown around by the wind and rain.
Luo Liangyuan was pregnant, and with such a large belly, it was extremely difficult for her.
It was her maid who was holding her.
In terms of distance, even on the same horizontal line but in different directions, Murong Liangyuan was quite far. However, seeing that the weather was not good, she quickened her pace.
Luckily, I didn't get wet.
However, because Luo Liangyuan can't walk fast on her own, the others can't run past her, so they're all in such a sorry state now.
The three men, being of low status, dared not speak, but Han Chenghui, standing to the side, gently touched his stomach, his expression dark and unreadable.
This scene was witnessed by Liu Fengyi, who was also in a sorry state.
The rain lasted for a full half hour. Even in a place like the Crown Prince's residence, the ground was muddy and slippery where there were no pebbles.
What about outside?
After the rain stopped, the sun came out quickly. A rainbow even appeared on the horizon.
But suddenly everything was slippery and the air smelled of dirt.
Luo Liangyuan still dared not leave.
Fortunately, her servants quickly found her, changed her shoes, and helped her back home.
Han Chenghui followed behind, looking unwell.
Everyone returned to their lodgings one by one.
In the afternoon, Shu Chengfeng came over.
Yan Nangui was in the yard, looking at the twenty-odd morning glory plants that Shuanzi had transplanted, transplanted along with their clods of soil. They should survive, especially since it had just rained heavily.
Upon seeing Shu Chengfeng arrive, he went up to him and said, "Your Highness."
"What is this?" Shu Chengfeng asked curiously.
“Morning glories, there will be a whole patch of them here from now on,” Yan Nangui said with a smile.
Shu Chengfeng didn't understand at first, but after frowning and thinking for a while, he realized that it was a kind of wildflower in the countryside.
"Tang'er, you have such a wild charm. You don't even appreciate the crabapple trees I had transplanted for you?" Not only crabapple trees, but there are also peach trees outside.
“Each has its own beauty,” Yan Nangui said with a smile.
The two entered the house, and Shu Chengfeng asked, "Did you get caught in the rain this morning?"
"How could that be? But it's quite a coincidence. If we had left any later, we might have gotten caught in the rain." Yan Nangui sat down as well.
Jiangxiang quickly brought over the tea.
After taking a few sips, Shu Chengfeng said, "Come with me to Laiyang Prefecture."
Yan Nangui blinked: "Your Highness is taking me with you again?"
She was a little surprised.
"What? Don't you want to go?" Shu Chengfeng looked at her with a smile.
"What are you saying? I'd be more than grateful if Your Highness were to take me along!" Yan Nangui scoffed.
"Then get ready. I'll take you and the Murong family with me this time," Shu Chengfeng said.
When the wild geese returned south, they laughed, looking particularly happy.
Well, she just likes the big boss's directness.
If it's just about taking her along as the only high-ranking person, then she still needs to think it over carefully.
But if you add the Murong family, then she understands.
Jiangnan, the home turf of the Murong clan.
Taking her, the daughter of the Yan family, along was simply for the sake of maintaining balance.
“The scenery in Jiangnan is excellent. Taking you there would be a good opportunity to visit. You seem to have a lot on your mind,” Shu Chengfeng said.
Yan Nangui smiled again and said, "Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
"This is strange. It's almost time to eat. Tell someone to prepare the meal. I didn't eat well at lunch." Shu Chengfeng waved his hand.
Yan Nangui wasn't in a hurry: "It's only early afternoon, why are you already in such a rush for dinner?" She said, getting up and then sitting in someone's lap: "Let's eat something else."
"Tsk, you woman, I went to court before dawn today and have been busy all day..."
"Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry? I told you to have some snacks and fruit. Otherwise, you'll be hungry in the middle of the night if you eat too early. Where do you think you're going?" Yan Nangui said with a serious expression.
If you can ignore where her hands are hooked, it's somewhat convincing.
Shu Chengfeng chuckled: "It's clear that Tang'er is in a good mood."
"Your Highness has arrived, so naturally I am in a good mood," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
Shu Chengfeng leaned back and put his arm around her: "You seem happy, but I've been extremely stressed these past few days."
"Disaster relief? You're going there in person anyway, so worrying won't help. Why don't you go and see for yourself?" Yan Nangui reached out to remove his hair ornament.
He grabbed her arm.
Yan Nangui pouted and could only regretfully withdraw his hand: "This matter, if done well, will be a merit, letting the world see your abilities. If not done well... well, whether it's done well or not, His Majesty will not be happy."
That's...
Fortunately, Your Highness doesn't know the word "heartbreaking".
He just laughed again and pinched Yan Nangui's fleshy spot.
She cried out and tried to jump up when he pinched her.
They were suppressed.
His Highness was genuinely tired and didn't want to go through any more trouble. At least not right now.
But then the woman in his arms let out a soft cry…
I'm not tired anymore, and I'm not hungry anymore.
Soon, everyone in the room left.
Dinner was more than an hour later than usual...
In a daze, Yan Nangui thought to herself, "Shu Chengfeng must have some kind of quirk. How did she manage to hit that spot for him?"
But she never imagined that there would be no other person who would sit in someone's lap so readily.
Of all the women in the mansion, who would dare?
