"Your Highness." Yan Nangui stepped forward and bowed.
Yan Nangui pulled her back: "I told you you were feeling unwell, why did you get up?"
"I was feeling unwell, but then I thought about how beautiful the garden was, how could I not take a stroll?" Yan Nangui reached out and touched Shu Chengfeng's tassel.
Shu Chengfeng took her hand: "Now that we've looked around, how about it?"
“That’s excellent,” Yan Nangui said with a smile. “This little girl is very sensible.”
"If you like her, take her back and make her your maid," Shu Chengfeng said casually.
“Your Highness, this is a bad habit. People born in Yuezhou must have relatives and friends. I don’t need anyone to serve me, even though I’m thousands of miles away,” Yan Nangui said with a smile.
"In that case, bestow even more rewards," said Shu Chengfeng.
The young maidservant hurriedly knelt down: "This servant thanks Your Highness the Crown Prince and Consort Liang."
She's a little scared, and definitely doesn't want to leave. Who knows if she'll ever come back?
Yan Nangui waved his hand and ordered someone to reward her.
"Now that I'm sober, Li Zhaoxun has been sent back?" Yan Nangui asked.
“Li Zhaoxun is no longer here,” Shu Chengfeng said.
"Your Highness, this is not right. It will make the household think that I am intolerant of others."
"You can say this to me, but if the people in the manor hear it, some will be embarrassed and others will have headaches," Shu Chengfeng said with a smile.
Yan Nangui laughed too: "Alright, who told her to touch a sore spot?"
Shu Chengfeng raised an eyebrow slightly but did not reply.
In fact, the reason he drove Li away was precisely for this reason.
As a man of this era, his thoughts are not much different from those of this era.
He might not care whether Yanshi could have children, but he felt that Yanshi herself must care a lot.
The goose family is useful and interesting.
For her sake, a mere Li woman, she was dealt with as soon as possible.
It was nothing more than His Highness appeasing Yan Nangui.
If it were the original owner of this body, knowing that she couldn't have children, she would definitely care a lot. But now, Yan Nangui doesn't care at all.
How risky is childbirth?
Seeing Li's smug look, I decided to just go back.
"It's not that I'm being harsh, but this Li woman is truly arrogant. I remember just a few days after I dealt with Ding Zhaoxun, Li woman found an excuse to cut off Ding Zhaoxun's meals. She had only been the emperor's concubine then, and she's already acting so arrogantly. Now she's trying to provoke me; if she really gets going, she'll be a menace." It would be better to just crush her.
Stupid people don't deserve it anyway.
Shu Chengfeng nodded: "I understand."
"What do you know? I was just talking to His Highness, not trying to sow discord!" Yan Nangui said speechlessly.
"...I understand. I know you wouldn't stoop to such petty tricks." Shu Chengfeng chuckled, "Your temper..."
"Hmph, now that you're here, you can't leave," Yan Nangui said.
"Haha, since Tang'er has a request, I naturally won't leave. However, I'm tired from the journey, and although I'm here, I can't satisfy Tang'er any further. Please be good, Tang'er, and don't be too greedy." Shu Chengfeng's words were particularly blatant.
Yan Nangui stared at him silently for a long time...
I'm a womanizer, how come I didn't know?
The two of them sat outside drinking tea in the afternoon; the scenery here was superb. Everywhere they sat was picturesque.
Because of this location, none of the stunning beauties specially prepared in the garden dared to come over.
As night fell, we naturally rested here.
Her Highness showed no interest, but a large table of delicious food was served.
They are all unique features.
Nothing happened that night, and when Yan Nangui set off the next morning, he was still drowsy.
Without even combing his hair, he simply straightened it, put on a hood, and got on the bus.
It was June, and it was getting hot, especially in the south.
She quickly took it off as soon as she got in the car.
She went to sleep in the carriage.
It would take at least three days to travel from Yuezhou to Laiyang Prefecture.
It got hotter and hotter as we walked, and to make matters worse, it rained along the way. We still hadn't arrived after three days.
It was raining outside, and the carriage was stuffy inside. Ice couldn't be provided on time along the way. The geese, returning south, could only fan themselves.
Unfortunately, due to health reasons, I can't drink too much cold food, which is incredibly uncomfortable.
The only advantage is that the fruit delivered along the way is very fresh and comes in a wide variety.
The lychees were also very large and especially delicious.
However, you shouldn't eat too much of this, as it can cause internal heat.
When we finally arrived in Laiyang Prefecture, it was night. It was raining heavily.
Officials outside the city were all waiting, wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats.
Because of the heavy rain, the Crown Prince did not get out of the carriage. He simply sent a guard to inform the prince and went straight to his residence.
They stayed in a separate courtyard, the courtyard of Zhou Chongguang, the prefect of Laiyang.
The infantry will not enter the city; they will camp outside. The imperial guards and palace guards will enter the city and will stay near the crown prince.
The guards were to follow them into the separate courtyard.
The rain was really heavy, and it was pattering loudly on the carriage.
A tarpaulin was placed over it to protect it from the rain; otherwise, the carriage would have leaked too.
Because it was dark and raining heavily, the carriage was moving very slowly.
Finally, they arrived at the villa, and the carriage could only go inside.
When it was time to get off the train, Shuanzi and the old woman from the other courtyard held up a huge oil-paper umbrella, while Chanyi and Jiangxiang wrapped Yan Nangui in a large cloak.
With the help of Luo Kui, they hurriedly climbed onto the roof.
On just this short stretch of road, Yan Nangui's shoes and skirt got wet.
And this was even with wooden planks laid on the ground.
The girls were all soaked.
"Go change quickly. Luo Kui isn't wet much, just take care of her for now," Yan Nangui said as she entered the room.
Because of the heavy rain, the house had a damp and stuffy smell, but it was also mixed with a little fragrance, which made people feel dizzy.
"Open all the windows." Yan Nangui frowned.
After finally sitting down, Luo Kui busied herself opening all the windows.
"Isn't this rain too heavy?" said Malabar spinach.
“Yes, otherwise how could we have suffered such a disaster? It didn’t rain on our way here, but this is such heavy rain in Laiyang Prefecture, and the two counties downstream are still a bit downstream, tsk.” Yan Nangui frowned.
"Yes." As Luo Kui stepped out, the old woman at the door hurriedly said, "Would you like hot water and tea, young lady? They're all prepared. The meal will be here soon too."
"Oh, no rush, fetch some water first," said Malabar spinach.
Soon, the old woman came carrying a large pot of hot water.
Chanyi and Jiangxiang had also changed their clothes and came in to serve.
When she first arrived, no one in the villa knew who was favored or not. Even Kim Bong-yi was treated warmly.
In the front yard, Shu Chengfeng, having changed his clothes, asked, "How is it?"
"I've made contact with the person, and he's waiting. Will Your Highness see him now?" Wei Xiao asked.
"Bring them in."
Soon, a man who looked to be around forty years old entered and knelt down: "Your Highness, I pay my respects!"
"Get up and answer. Thank you for your hard work."
The man hurriedly replied, "I dare not say that: I am Your Highness's subordinate, so it is only natural for me to serve Your Highness. It is not hard work for me."
"Okay, tell me about the situation."
"Yes, the disaster in Shang County and Li County was not too serious. Especially in Shang County, because the county magistrate was a man of action. As soon as there were signs of disaster, he led the people to build dikes. He also asked the people living near the Yuan River to temporarily move out. Although some houses and fields were damaged, it was not serious."
