It's quite an interesting situation when both people are lying and know the other is lying.
Shu Chengfeng lifted her chin a little higher: "Such beautiful lips."
As he spoke, he gently rubbed it with his thumb. Yan Nangui opened her mouth and bit his finger, then released it and stepped forward, saying, "Then Your Highness, please try it."
Shu Chengfeng did not dodge, letting Yan Nangui take the initiative.
The candlelight flickers, and it doesn't matter if their hearts aren't together; as long as the young man and woman are physically together, they can be very passionate.
By morning, Yan Nangui still hadn't kept his promise from the previous day and still hadn't gotten up to serve.
Clearly, Shu Chengfeng didn't care about that.
He ate breakfast there as usual before leaving.
The fact that His Highness ate breakfast for two consecutive days clearly indicates one thing: His Highness does not dislike Consort Yan.
The two parted ways outside Jiyue Pavilion, and then Yan Nangui naturally went to the main courtyard.
Yesterday, Ye Liangdi was extremely hostile towards her, and today was no different.
Even glaring at her is considered good.
Yan Nangui could calmly drink her tea, even though her body was seventeen years old, her mentality was...
I've been wandering for who knows how many years, but I can still sit still over this little thing.
Ye Liangdi was clearly trying to control her anger, while Su Liangdi acted as if they were all good sisters.
The Crown Princess can sit still now, but someone has to be the one to stick their neck out.
Ding Zhaoxun stood out yesterday and is not to be outdone today.
Yesterday they laughed at Yan Nangui for being a second wife, and today they're laughing at how badly she fared in the Meng family.
"Your Highness has been visiting Jiyue Pavilion for two consecutive days. Consort Yan must be very happy, right? Alas, Consort Yan has had a tough time. When have we ever had such a good time before? Now is the time to make the most of it."
The Ding family was a large clan in the capital, with many descendants.
But Ding Zhaoxun wasn't from the capital's lineage; she was the illegitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official in the local area.
Yan Nangui merely glanced at her up and down a few times before laughing: "Isn't what you're saying just nonsense? Since His Highness is willing to come, I'll naturally hurry up. Do you expect me to push His Highness away if he comes to you? It's all just empty talk. If you have anything else new to say, feel free to say it. I'm a Consort, you're a Lady-in-Waiting, and there's a Lady-in-Waiting in between. It's against the rules of the manor for you to speak so carelessly."
Now that things have come to this point, the Crown Princess could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Yes, Yan Liangyuan is right. Ding Zhaoxun, you should also watch your mouth."
"Yes, I have learned my lesson," Ding Zhaoxun said, rising to her feet.
However, he said it but clearly didn't care much, and even glared at Yan Nangui.
Yan Nangui simply smiled.
Everyone assumed the matter was over.
However, it was clear that Yan Nangui wouldn't let a mere Ding Zhaoxun anger her and then ignore it. What would happen if she opened that door?
So, after everyone dispersed, news came that Yan Liangyuan had gone to Ding Zhaoxun's Jinhua Garden.
In Jinhua Garden, Ding Zhaoxun could only live in the east pavilion.
The wild geese flew south, crossing a garden; it was quite a distance.
When Ding Zhaoxun saw her, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but he didn't show any fear on the surface.
"What brings you here, Lady Yan?" Ding Zhaoxun asked.
Yan Nangui walked inside: "What? Can't I sit here with my sister for a bit?"
Since everyone who comes is a guest, we have to do it whether it's acceptable or not.
Moreover, Yan Nangui's rank is higher than hers.
Ding Zhaoxun could only order tea to be served.
After sitting down, Yan Nangui looked around and then set his sights on something.
Ding Zhaoxun said, "This tea was a gift from His Highness, and it is quite sweet and refreshing."
The smugness in her eyes was self-evident.
She likes tea, and His Highness naturally rewards her with some.
Yan Nangui took a sip, nodded, and while he didn't praise it, he acknowledged that it was indeed good tea.
It's a pity... it's been sitting out for too long. Green tea is meant to be enjoyed fresh; once it's been sitting out for a while, even the best tea will lose its appeal.
She took a sip and then put it back.
Ding Zhaoxun didn't know what to say to her.
Yan Nangui smiled at her: "Sister, the place here is nicely decorated. I inquired about it beforehand. The most favored person in this mansion is naturally Sister Su. Now, Consort Xia is also extremely favored. Next, Ding Zhaoxun, you are also quite good."
Ding Zhaoxun didn't want to hear those words.
However, before she could refute him, Yan Nangui noticed a white jade ornament on a side table.
It's an incense holder, extremely exquisite, and most importantly, it's made of fine jade.
She picked it up casually.
It was wiped clean, clearly something Ding Zhaoxun liked.
Sure enough, as soon as she took it in her hand, Ding Zhaoxun took a step forward.
But it was no use; Yan Nangui 'failed' as soon as he turned around.
The white jade, falling onto the blue brick floor, naturally ended up shattered into pieces.
"Oh dear... my hand slipped, and such a good thing broke. Sister Ding is favored, so she naturally has many good things like this. Please don't blame me."
She looked terrified, stepped back, and braced herself on the table, knocking over the teacup she had just used to brew tea. The teacup shattered on the ground.
That tea set should have four teacups, depicting scenes from the four seasons. And it should be made with excellent glaze.
If even one piece of this tea set is missing, its value is greatly diminished.
Clearly, this tea set was also something Ding Zhaoxun liked, and he deliberately brought it out to show off.
At that moment, she accidentally broke two of Ding Zhaoxun's beloved possessions.
Ding Zhaoxun's face turned blue and purple, but he still stubbornly insisted, "It's alright, I have plenty of things like this."
"Oh, that's wonderful! I'm relieved. My mind is in such a mess. Well, I'll be going now, I'll come back another time. Don't worry about the things. They're all just material possessions." Yan Nangui's eyes were full of sincerity.
Ding Zhaoxun said stiffly, "Then I won't see Yan Liangyuan off."
"Oh, no need to see me off, I can go on my own." Yan Nangui left politely.
After walking away, Ding Zhaoxun angrily smashed the other teacup to pieces.
She looked at the white jade ornament, her heart aching with heartache; it was a gift from His Highness.
Tea sets too!
He cursed Yan Nangui in his heart, but how could he not know that she had come to take revenge on purpose?
Isn't it childish to use such a method?
On the other hand, Yan Nangui doesn't think it's childish.
Strike the snake at its vital point. It would be pointless for her to hit or punish someone over a few words.
People say she's arrogant and doesn't know any better since she just entered the manor.
But now, a mere 'mistake' is a different story.
Did I do anything? No, Ding Zhaoxun has the nerve to say that Yan Liangyuan broke her things?
As for why he did this... When a newcomer enters the mansion and wants to save face, Ding Zhaoxun wears jewelry that is neither new nor old, clothes that are neither new nor old, and the embroidery on his shoes is worn out. How could he not know her situation?
That must mean they're a bit poor.
Since that's the case, let's just say she'll lose money.
This is called precision sniping.
Only those who feel the pain know the true extent of it.
