The geese are flying south, so let's play along. Anyway, I definitely hadn't seen them before the marriage. There's no question of infidelity; whoever is having an affair knows the truth.
In just a short while, the Empress's worry turned into joy.
That was so satisfying!
Meng Junxian became nervous as soon as the Prince of Nan'an started speaking.
Even though his own family members were officials in the court, they were nothing compared to the imperial relatives in the palace.
If he displeases the Crown Prince or His Majesty, he won't even know how he died.
But as Yan Nangui stood up to speak, he kept wanting to look over there.
The woman was poised and admitted to the matter.
There was not the slightest bit of apprehension or inferiority.
Her attitude was so frank and natural that those who heard it just thought it was an ordinary matter, nothing special.
But to Meng Junxian, these words sounded so... strange.
A powerful feeling welled up inside him... something he dared not admit. Wouldn't a woman like Yan Nangui be wonderful as the matriarch of his Meng family?
But it was all too late.
People in the hall naturally came to look at him, and it wasn't until Yan Nangui and the Prince of Nan'an had a drink that Meng Junxian finally came to his senses.
By this time, Yan Jinsi had already called him once.
Only then did he realize the feeling of being constantly on edge.
He smiled at Yan Jinsi.
Yan Jinsi looked very uncomfortable. When others brought up Yan Nangui's second marriage, she felt much more embarrassed than Yan Nangui.
After Yan Nangui divorced, she entered the Crown Prince's residence! And what about her? Did she pick up what Yan Nangui didn't want?
How could Yan Jinsi, who had looked down on Yan Nangui since childhood, accept this?
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but now everyone is staring at her, and she's really feeling terrible.
She glared at Meng Junxian with hatred, wishing she could divorce him immediately.
But she knew it was impossible.
My family wouldn't allow it either.
The more this happened, the angrier she became.
She dared not reveal even the slightest hint of this kind of exchange. But this man in front of her was staring at Yan Nangui with such blatant disregard? Did he have a death wish?
Was it not because the Meng family didn't treat Yan Nangui as a human being back then?
Now you feel better?
On the other side, when Yan Nangui sat down, Shu Chengfeng turned around and handed her the grapes in front of him: "Try some."
Yan Nangui smiled and winked gently at him.
His Majesty remained unchanged, but Consort Zhen took the opportunity to exchange a few words with her maid while drinking tea.
I don't know if they're trying to avoid it.
However, after more than ten years, she should have gotten used to it by now.
Yan Nangui pondered the Prince of Nan'an at this moment, thinking that he was also a restless person.
It was probably because of the Prince of Nan'an's resounding words that the women in the harem didn't dare to speak much afterwards.
The other princes, however, kept calling the Empress Dowager "Mother," creating quite a lively atmosphere for a while.
When the moon was high in the sky, we went outside the palace to admire it.
This year's new mooncakes come in several flavors, and only after we've tasted them can we say that today's feast is over.
After seeing off the princes, it was already quite late when it was finally time to return to the manor.
The crown prince also didn't exit through the main gate, but instead went through another gate.
Shu Chengfeng boarded Yan Nangui's carriage directly, and Su Liangdi pretended not to see him.
Given the current situation, His Highness the Crown Prince and Consort Yan must have something to say to each other.
Yan Nangui looked at Shu Chengfeng and smiled: "Your Highness."
"Tang'er was so poised and graceful today, I can't help but admire her."
"Your Highness's praise is too much for me to bear. I am just like this, so what is there to be ashamed of?" Yan Nangui said with a smile.
Shu Chengfeng pulled her close and leaned her against the carriage wall: "Tang'er reacts quickly. If it were someone else today, things wouldn't be like this."
"I still remember how nervous Consort Zhen was when she first entered the palace and was asked about those times."
"Look at what you're saying. She's nervous because what she did was shameful. I'm not nervous because I'm perfectly upright. Besides, are you comparing me to her? She'll be cannon fodder sooner or later. I'm going to be a concubine someday. I'll be able to live a long and peaceful life, right?" Yan Nangui snorted.
Shu Chengfeng laughed, gently touched her face, and said nothing.
While he was in the hall just now, he felt somewhat...
Saying I'm uneasy isn't quite accurate, but I do have a little bit of worry.
Although he has suffered a lot of rumors and gossip over the years, and has been humiliated by His Majesty in public many times.
But as a man, he didn't like being ridiculed because of his woman.
Even an ordinary man wouldn't like that, let alone him.
Therefore, he would be disappointed if Yan Shi did not answer well or was too timid.
But she didn't; her answer was truly brilliant.
"Ugh, I'm sleepy." Yan Nangui turned her head to look at him: "Your Highness, could you please help me untie my hair? This hairpin is beautiful, but it's really tiring."
"It's resolved? People should have misunderstood when you got off the bus. Just bear with it for a while. It's for your own good."
Well, Yan Nangui made him look good today.
He didn't hesitate to protect her.
Yan Nangui scoffed, "Why put on this show? Anyway, when His Highness gets off my carriage, it'll just be a misunderstanding." As he spoke, he reached out his hand.
Shu Chengfeng shook his head speechlessly and simply picked it for her.
Soon, Yan Nangui nestled comfortably in Shu Chengfeng's arms and dozed off.
Anyway, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather isn't hot anymore. After the heavy rain a few days ago, she's feeling a bit chilly right now.
When they arrived, Yan Nangui was already showing signs of falling asleep.
Shu Chengfeng got out of the car first and helped her down.
The Crown Princess and others also came down.
Yan Nangui went over and said, "Your Highness, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
"Hmm." The Crown Princess looked at her disheveled long hair and was indeed a little unhappy. But thinking about it, the road wasn't too far, and the Crown Prince probably hadn't done anything wrong.
Back at Jiyue Pavilion, after drinking tea, I wasn't sleepy anymore.
So they simply asked someone to bring them mooncakes.
There were some very large ones, which were cut into six pieces and shared among the girls.
It's grape season, and although the grapes aren't very big, they're incredibly delicious.
The Crown Prince will naturally be going to the main courtyard today.
So even if the Crown Princess was a little dissatisfied just now, she is no longer so.
Yan Nangui was in a good mood, eating and drinking.
If she's in a good mood, then someone else will be in a bad mood.
Back at the Meng family home, Yan Jinsi's face was long and drawn.
Meng Junxian had been distracted all day and didn't notice it at this moment.
"Meng Junxian! Are you regretting it now? She is now the Crown Prince's concubine, do you still dare to dream of her?" Yan Jinsi returned home and finally couldn't hold back her anger.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How can you talk such nonsense?" Meng Junxian was taken aback.
"I'm talking nonsense? Your eyes have been glued to her all night! What? You think she's better now, and you were blind before?"
"You...you stop fooling around, it's a holiday..."
"Get lost! I don't want to see you, seeing you annoys me!" Yan Jinsi threw the teacup away.
