At the Crown Prince's residence, for the time being, nothing seems amiss.
The Crown Princess's pregnancy has not been made public yet, and even if someone knows, it's not certain.
Just four or five days after the last snowfall, another one came. It started snowing at noon and by dusk, a thick layer had accumulated.
The yard was only swept to create a path, because the snow showed no sign of stopping, and there was no need to sweep it too clean.
Shu Chengfeng arrived with an umbrella, and his feet were wet when he entered.
Yan Nangui stood up and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Although it's dusk, it's snowing today, so it's already dark.
The lamps have been lit.
Shu Chengfeng tossed the umbrella to the servants outside and came in, saying, "It's really cold today."
As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and poked Yan Nangui's cheek.
A chill ran through him, but Yan Nangui reached out and grabbed the hand, then brought it to his lips and kissed the tip of the index finger.
Then she winked playfully: "Your Highness, please go change your clothes."
Shu Chengfeng withdrew his hand, but felt a pang of unease.
Those warm, soft lips gently pressed down on him, giving him an indescribable feeling.
The ten fingers are connected to the heart; this is no different.
He changed his clothes and put on dry shoes and socks. His body warmed up immediately.
Shu Chengfeng was in good health and was well protected as a child, so he was never harmed.
So he's not actually that afraid of the cold.
So after it warmed up, when he tried to take Yan Nan's hand back, he found that her hand was ice cold.
She hadn't noticed the coldness when he came in from outside, but now that she was warm, she could see the difference.
"Why is it so cold?" Shu Chengfeng asked.
"Aren't you used to it yet? I'm already used to it." Yan Nangui withdrew her hand and picked up the small hand warmer.
Shu Chengfeng looked at her for a while: "Should we call the imperial physician to take another look?"
"No need, it's not so easy to replenish one's body. I'm much better than last year." Yan Nangui smiled. "At this time last year, I was feeling even worse. But I wasn't in the manor, so Your Highness didn't know."
Shu Chengfeng looked at her and suddenly said, "Last year, when you entered the manor in November, I didn't notice anything amiss."
"I must be strong! I must be strong! How come I'm still so sickly after becoming His Highness's concubine?"
Shu Chengfeng remained silent for a while.
Yes, she was drugged and miscarried last year, suffering severe bleeding and barely escaping death.
Given such a blow, she should be bedridden for at least a year or two.
But she entered the Crown Prince's residence after only a few months.
Although he fell ill a few times this year, he didn't seem like a sickly person overall.
They're really determined to succeed.
"I used to be foolish, but now I'm more open-minded and I'm taking good care of myself. I'm also taking my medicine, so I'm feeling much better," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
That's the truth.
Even if you're not short of money and don't have any worries, investing heavily in maintenance can still be beneficial.
"Tsk, how pitiful." Shu Chengfeng shook his head.
I don't know if they mean she's physically weak, or if they mean her past health.
Yan Nangui was displeased: "I did encounter a wolf in sheep's clothing, but how much better are you than I?"
There's not much to say about this person's growth process; it's not easy to grow up at all.
Shu Chengfeng shook his head: "Tell the kitchen to prepare more nourishing dishes. Winter is the perfect time to eat mutton. But you just don't like it. Since you don't like it, then eat more chicken soup and the like. Tell the kitchen not to skimp on the food and to frequently prepare some medicinal dishes for you."
"Mm." Yan Nangui nodded.
Shu Chengfeng simply summoned Eunuch Liu and told him to go directly to the kitchen to speak.
At this moment, the kitchen was bustling with activity, as everyone was preparing their evening meals.
Hearing what Eunuch Liu said, he naturally agreed without hesitation.
If His Highness wants someone to eat better, they will naturally rush to serve them.
But some people don't get this treatment.
The lower one's rank, the earlier they would call people to wait for their meals, because if the weather was bad and you didn't come early, you might not get a hot meal.
Right now, those few unfavored maids are all waiting outside.
Hearing these words, I was naturally very envious.
Ultimately, a good family background is still essential. That way, even if you don't have children, you can still live a good life.
The snow fell intermittently, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, but it showed no sign of stopping.
The room was warm, and although Yan Nangui's hands and feet couldn't get warm, he didn't feel cold.
During dinner, I drank some ginseng and black chicken soup, which was the perfect remedy for my condition.
She didn't want to eat the meat, only drink the soup. After drinking it, she felt even warmer.
It wasn't time for bed yet, so Shu Chengfeng went to admire the painting of wild geese returning south.
It's that half-finished painting from last time; Yan Nangui hasn't continued with it these past few days.
"Why don't you finish drawing it?" Shu Chengfeng asked, amused.
"I'm lazy. I'll finish it sooner or later," Yan Nangui said frankly.
Shu Chengfeng looked down at the painting, thinking it would look beautiful once finished. Even though it was only for a palace banquet, it still exuded a powerful aura.
It seems that in this woman's eyes, he really has many different appearances.
She must like it too.
The two chatted idly, and the atmosphere was naturally very pleasant.
Unfortunately, there are always people who want to ruin this good thing.
At the entrance, Eunuch Liu called out, "Your Highness."
"What is it?" Shu Chengfeng asked.
"Your Highness, someone from Consort Jin's quarters has arrived. They say that Consort Jin suddenly fell and is waiting for the royal physician."
Yan Nangui raised an eyebrow slightly: "Is it serious?"
Upon hearing her question, Eunuch Liu at the door hurriedly replied, "Her maid is waiting outside."
"Then let them in," Yan Nangui said.
Although it's Jiyue Pavilion, it definitely requires the Crown Prince's approval.
So Shu Chengfeng said, "Let them in."
The maid who came in was Yinye. She knelt down as soon as she entered, her shoulders covered in snowflakes, indicating that she hadn't brought an umbrella.
"This servant greets Your Highness, Consort Yan."
"Let's get down to business," Yan Nangui said, sounding annoyed.
“Yes, Consort Jin felt really hot after dinner, so she stood at the door for a while. Before going back, she slipped on the steps and fell... She said she had a stomachache, so... so she asked me to come and fetch Your Highness,” Yinye said anxiously.
"Your Highness, shall we go and take a look?" Yan Nangui glanced lightly at the person on the ground and then looked at Shu Chengfeng.
Shu Chengfeng nodded.
So the two of them changed their clothes and went out.
Since the Crown Prince has been alarmed, the Crown Princess will surely be alarmed as well.
Before long, everyone arrived at Jin Hua Yuan, where Kim Bong-yi was staying.
Ding Zhaoxun was already waiting. She was a little nervous, but this was Jin Fengyi's own carelessness and had nothing to do with her.
Everyone sat down in the main room. Jin Fengyi had already summoned the imperial physician, and the midwife seemed to be fine.
Although I had abdominal pain, I didn't bleed.
Kim Bong-yi is almost five months pregnant. Even if she falls, as long as she doesn't hurt her stomach, she is unlikely to miscarry easily.
The Crown Princess, who was less than two months pregnant, arrived much later than usual, taking her time.
She dared not ride in a sedan chair, so she walked.
Because of the heavy snow, the roads were difficult to travel, so she could only walk slowly.
The crown prince knew what was going on, but he didn't say anything.
The Crown Prince didn't speak, and Consort Ye dared not speak either. Mainly, her cousin looked rather unwell.
