Chapter 174 Sleeping Well



"Impossible! Even if it's because of her stance, my mother wouldn't harm me. What good would it do me to harm you like this?" Yan Jinsi said.

“Of course there’s no benefit, that’s why I called you here. If this is truly the Princess’s intention, then you should know what’s going on from now on,” Madam Li added.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Jinsi became agitated.

"Enough!" Meng Junxian said coldly, "Jinsi, you need to understand, you're married. Even if you're still the daughter of the Princess, you can't spend your whole life with her. You know yourself, she sees you as her sister, someone she wants to marry a prince. You and she aren't on the same path, so what will become of you?"

"Don't you dare try to sow discord," Yan Jinsi said angrily.

"Jinsi, I was wrong the other day, and I acted impulsively. But think about what I'm about to say. What will you do in the end?"

Even if you despise me, Meng Junxian, what will become of you in the future?

Yan Jinsi was about to retort when Meng Junxian said again, "Don't even think about being like Yan Nangui. Think about how your father treated you. Although your mother is a princess, what is her relationship with your father like? The Crown Prince treats Yan Nangui well because she is the daughter of a great general. If it were you and Yan Jinfei, would you really receive the same treatment?"

"It's true that your mother is a princess, but how much help does she provide to the princes who want to vie for the throne?"

Yan Jinsi fell silent instantly.

Was Yan Lingyun good to her?

No, that's not good.

Father never treated them well; they rarely met or contacted each other.

When Yan Nangui married into the Meng family, even though her father hadn't returned, she still specially asked someone to prepare her dowry, fearing that her family wouldn't provide her with a generous dowry.

But when it was her turn to get married, her father only sent back a silver note containing ten thousand taels of silver.

In particular, what does it mean that Father sent people back to clear out all of Lan's dowry?

It's not that she can't understand it.

Father forbade the girls in the family from marrying into the royal family from the very beginning, but Yan Nan Gui still married the Crown Prince.

Will Father support anyone other than the Crown Prince?

Even though her mother was a princess, she was far inferior to a great general.

If she also chooses the path of remarriage...

Yan Jinsi had to admit that she could walk, but she could never reach the heights of Yan Nangui.

Meng Junxian is quite good at deceiving people; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fool the naive Yan Nangui into thinking she had found true love and get married so young.

Now that he could see Yan Jinsi wavering, he pressed his advantage, taking her hand and saying, "The Second Prince is a kind and gentle man. As long as he's in charge, our family will surely prosper. You're already a princess; wouldn't it be wonderful if you could become the wife of a powerful official in the future?"

Yan Jinsi was still somewhat tempted.

Old Madam Li watched coldly, sighing inwardly, thinking that her son had been wronged.

Although the Yan family's daughter had a bad temper, she wasn't that cunning.

This situation is truly complicated.

“But the current situation…” Yan Jinsi pulled her hand back, her mood souring again.

"Let's wait for Father's reply regarding the current situation. That's all for now," Meng Junxian sighed.

Madam Li was filled with apprehension. She knew her own husband well, and she feared that Master Meng would not easily let her pass the test.

Right now, there's nothing we can do but wait.

It can be said that Yan Nangui and Shu Chengfeng's simple gesture truly put this group of people in a difficult situation.

It certainly wouldn't shake the true foundation of the Meng family, but it truly disgusted them.

Compared to the various predicaments of the Meng family, His Highness the Crown Prince, who had visited Jiyue Pavilion at the Crown Prince's residence a few days ago, was in a good mood.

Although he didn't say it outright, Yan Nangui still specially ordered a table of fine dishes to be prepared and drank with the Crown Prince.

Shu Chengfeng gave her several glances with a half-smile, but ultimately asked nothing.

Yan Nangui personally poured him a drink.

The pale white hand holding the white porcelain wine pot has a unique charm.

It's true that the wine doesn't intoxicate, but the person does.

His Highness the Crown Prince thoroughly enjoyed the dinner.

After tidying up, he couldn't wait to pull the person into the inner room.

On the bed, Yan Nangui bit someone angrily: "Your Highness really never forgets this!"

Shu Chengfeng, his voice hoarse, put his arm around her: "You caused such a big fuss last time you bit someone, and you still won't behave yourself."

"Then why can't you wait two days before going to see your cousin?" Yan Nangui snorted.

However, although it did bite, it wasn't serious.

"Is Tang'er being coquettish?" Shu Chengfeng chuckled as he patted her chin.

Yan Nangui slapped him across the face: "You don't know how to act cute, but do you want to throw a tantrum?"

“Even when Tang’er throws a tantrum, she’s still incredibly charming,” Shu Chengfeng said.

Yan Nangui also laughed.

After a while, she lay on the man's chest, hooked her hair around his arm, and looked at his stunningly beautiful face.

She thought to herself that this man definitely liked coming to her place more now than before.

This is a good thing.

"What are you thinking about?" Shu Chengfeng asked, noticing her looking a little dazed.

"Nothing much, I just pondered His Highness's eighteen ways of eating it," Yan Nangui said with a mischievous grin.

Shu Chengfeng was speechless: "You're the one who said no."

“When I say eat, I mean eat; when you say eat, it’s not.” Yan Nangui rolled her eyes, then lay down. “I’m thinking about His Majesty.”

"Tsk." Shu Chengfeng couldn't respond to that.

Yan Nangui thought of it and laughed to himself.

Indeed, if he were thinking of someone else, Shu Chengfeng could jokingly say that he was thinking of other men while he was with her.

But when His Majesty said it... it really took on a different meaning.

But to be honest, I guess only she would dare to say something like that.

After all, with the shameless Cao Mi as an example, which of the Crown Prince's women would dare to touch on this point?

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. I was just thinking, what does His Majesty think now that Granny Zhang is dead?" She suspected the Princess a little.

Or perhaps they also realized that there were others behind this.

But there's a high chance we won't be able to find any evidence. Your Majesty must be so worried.

"Thinking about it this way, I'm really happy. The thought that Your Majesty isn't sleeping well makes me sleep even better," Yan Nangui said with a smile.

Shu Chengfeng really couldn't help but laugh, so he actually laughed again.

Being with this woman is really...so easy to make me laugh.

"Tone it down a bit," he said helplessly.

Yan Nangui grunted and yawned, "Okay, let's go to sleep. I still have to pay my respects tomorrow morning."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "You seem to be attending court early tomorrow too?"

Shu Chengfeng responded, "Go to sleep."

It was cold, and it was easier for two people to sleep than one, so they both fell asleep quickly.

Indeed, knowing that His Majesty might not be sleeping well, they both slept very well.

As a result, Yan Nangui was gloriously late the next morning.

She always wanted to provoke Ye Liangdi, even when she was late.

But when Yan Nangui picked up his teacup and gently swirled it around, the sound from the other side gradually faded away...
