"Your Highness, what you're saying makes me sound so wicked." Yan Nangui laughed. "Is the old lady of the Meng family not qualified to enter the palace? Strictly speaking, Lord Meng is a high-ranking official, and his daughter-in-law is a princess. Shouldn't she be allowed to go?"
"...Is it inappropriate to mention my former mother-in-law in front of me?" Shu Chengfeng asked sternly.
"When you're pretending to be angry, can you let go of my hand?" Yan Nangui said with extreme disgust.
"Hahaha, you woman." Shu Chengfeng shook his head: "Thinking about her so much will only bring you bad luck."
"You know, I often feel unwell after the weather gets cold. I have to drink ginseng tea frequently and take Yangrong pills every day. My period comes and my stomach hurts. My hands and feet are cold at night." Yan Nangui said calmly without much emotional fluctuation.
This body has lost a lot of blood. How easy and fast is it for a person to produce blood?
Even if the lost blood can be replenished, the body may not necessarily recover.
Significant blood loss can damage all the internal organs of the body.
Her current weakness is perhaps a good thing; some mysterious things are hard to explain. But the damage to her body is undeniable.
So how could she not be annoyed by the Li aunt and niece?
"Alright, alright, since you want it, I'll help you. Indeed, the old lady of the Meng family is qualified." Shu Chengfeng smiled.
“But Nan Gui always thinks two steps ahead before taking one, so it’s not just about venting his anger, is it?” Shu Chengfeng said.
Yan Nangui smiled and said, "Isn't it great to kill two birds with one stone?"
The people were arranged by the eldest princess, so if anything goes wrong, it will be the eldest princess's responsibility.
Anyway, it was her people who hurt Yan Jinsi's mother-in-law and made Yan Jinsi lose face.
They want to make up, so let's just stab them again.
Shu Chengfeng pinched her cheek: "I helped you, shouldn't you thank me this time?"
"Are you so desperate for a thank you?" Yan Nangui removed his hand. "I just don't want to thank you today." She rolled her eyes at Shu Chengfeng.
Whether it's the eldest princess or someone from the Meng family, isn't it a good thing to be humiliated in the palace?
Although Yan Nangui didn't say thank you, he was secretly delighted.
Shu Chengfeng didn't press her for thanks, and said, "It's still early, I'm not entering the palace until the first day of the tenth month."
Yan Nangui responded and got up to sit in the chair.
"By the way, I haven't asked Your Highness yet what birthday gift you've prepared for the Empress Dowager?" Yan Nangui asked.
“Coral tree,” Shu Chengfeng said.
This is valuable enough, but it lacks sincerity.
Yan Nangui nodded: "That's good."
"Do you like coral? We don't have any trees left, but coral jewelry is fine," Shu Chengfeng asked casually.
"Anything is fine with me. If the coral is well-polished, it can make great jewelry." Yan Nangui naturally accepted whatever was offered.
Shu Chengfeng called out to Yun Ji.
"I received some coral jewelry a while ago, you can distribute it to the backyard. Give her a few extra pieces."
This "she" is naturally Yan Nangui.
"Yes, Your Highness, but that stuff... I'm afraid it won't be enough to go around..." Yun Ji said with a forced smile.
"You're getting dumber and dumber. Can't you even read the numbers?" Shu Chengfeng waved his hand.
Yun Ji hurriedly smiled apologetically and withdrew.
Although Yun Ji had been beaten before, he was still the eunuch that Shu Chengfeng trusted the most.
Yunji felt nervous and guilty for not handling things well. That's why he's being extra careful these days.
Without His Highness's permission, he dared not act recklessly.
Coral was considered a precious commodity at that time, so naturally not everyone could own it.
Yun Ji first sent seven or eight items to Jiyuexuan.
Only then did he personally deliver it to the main courtyard.
The Crown Princess was naturally delighted to receive the gift.
Next, both concubines received one, and all the ladies received one.
Ning Chenghui also had it.
Further down, Xia Fengyi wore a pair of coral earrings and a coral beaded bracelet.
Kim Bong-yi's pair of earrings.
Xiang Fengyi received a pair of earrings.
That's it.
The most abundant reward was the return of wild geese southward. It's just a pity that today's reward wasn't publicly announced, meaning that no one knows the exact amount of what was given.
Yan Nangui smiled as she looked at the jewelry; it was quite beautiful.
I took a bracelet and put it on.
They gave her three bracelets, varying in color.
She chose the reddest one; you could see the small hole in the bead, but its condition was already very good.
Her hands were fair, and the beaded bracelet made them look even more lustrous and beautiful.
"good."
Shu Chengfeng commented.
Yan Nangui also thought it looked good, but the outfit was a bit plain. She suggested adding a few amber beads and re-stranding it to make it look even better.
In the Jiangxiang Garden, Consort Murong looked at the coral jewelry and said, "Your Highness is in the Jiyue Pavilion at the moment, why did you suddenly think of bestowing gifts?"
"Perhaps you've mentioned this to Yan Liangyuan? It wouldn't be right to give it to just her," Wuyu said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Murong Liangyuan said casually, as if asking a question, but not quite.
“This servant does not know, but… Consort Yan always likes these things. Perhaps she brought it up herself?” Wu Yu added.
"Hmm, these are nice, but they're a bit too gaudy. Let's keep them. I'll pick one or two to wear for the Empress Dowager's birthday. It'll be more vibrant then."
Murong Wanqing wasn't pretending; everything she learned from elementary school taught her how a woman should behave.
So she really doesn't like things that are too flashy from the bottom of her heart.
She prefers simple and understated styles.
And she truly has the ability to wear plain-colored clothes beautifully.
If it weren't for the royal prohibition against wearing pure white, she might be the kind of person who could wear pure white dresses beautifully.
But that's beside the point.
During lunch, Yan Nangui started to complain because Shu Chengfeng ate some mutton.
She just can't stand the smell of mutton, no matter how well it's cooked.
In the afternoon, His Highness the Crown Prince insisted on drinking two bowls of tea to remove the unpleasant taste, and even changed his clothes.
Yan Nangui thought to himself, "This person actually didn't leave..."
However, she got her comeuppance that night.
Having been bossed around all afternoon, Shu Chengfeng took his revenge that evening.
When Yan Nangui got up early the next morning to pay his respects, he didn't even give him a friendly look.
On the way to pay their respects at the main courtyard, Yan Nangui remarked, "It seems like His Highness is coming here more often these days?"
I've also become more patient.
“Yes, that means you are in His Highness’s heart now, isn’t that wonderful?” Chanyi said.
Yan Nangui smiled and said, "You can believe a little of what I said. It's probably because I make His Highness feel comfortable here."
To be honest, I won't cause trouble or make a scene.
Of course, acting cute or coquettish doesn't count.
In the main courtyard, several people were wearing coral jewelry, indicating that they had been rewarded yesterday.
Even the Crown Princess wears a pearl flower.
Yan Nangui wore that string of beads, which was quite fitting for the occasion.
Ye Liangdi was still sarcastic, but she sometimes didn't dare to be too direct when it came to the wild geese returning south.
The main problem is that her attacks are limited to words, but Yan Nangui dares to take direct physical action.
