After paying her respects, the Crown Princess asked, "What happened?"
Yan Nangui spoke for them.
The Crown Princess frowned: "Summon the imperial physician."
"I've already summoned them. Sit down and wait a moment," the Crown Prince said.
Because of the bad weather, the imperial physician didn't arrive quickly. Once he did, he immediately went to see Consort Jin.
After taking her pulse, it was confirmed that she was fine. She had just been a little frightened, and didn't need any medicine; she just needed to rest.
If nothing's wrong, then something's wrong with her.
The Crown Princess was a little annoyed: "After all, you're pregnant, you need to know your limits. The weather's bad, you just want to get some fresh air, can't you open the window?"
“Yes, it was earth-shattering,” Su Liangdi added.
"Jin Fengyi has truly learned all the rules." Yan Nangui was just waiting for her to say that everything was alright.
If something happens to her, I can't tell her, wouldn't I be suffocating?
"Please calm down, Consort Yan... I was just in a hurry," said Consort Jin, who was helped out to stand.
Ye Liangdi was about to speak when Bai Liuying pulled her back to stop her, telling her not to say anything, no matter what she was going to say.
"I'll calm down? Are you just trying to disgust me? Leaving aside your reckless behavior in the middle of the night, the entire household suffered in this freezing weather because of you. Even if that's bad, what if something happens to you?"
"But what do you mean by going to His Highness every time you have a problem? If you need the imperial physician, shouldn't you go to the Crown Princess first? What? Can't the Crown Princess control you anymore? Or are you, Consort Jin, so precious that you need His Highness to personally take care of you?" Yan Nangui sneered.
"That's not what I meant. I was just in a moment of panic. Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. Consort Yan, you've really misunderstood," Consort Jin hurriedly said.
"Once you enter this mansion, everyone is His Highness's person. Why is Consort Jin so different? Could it be that you are different from us, and have some noble quality?" Yan Nangui sneered.
Kim Bong-yi's heart skipped a beat; she was indeed proud of her former identity.
Of course, she wasn't a dancer.
"Alright," Shu Chengfeng finally interrupted Yan Nangui.
"Oh no! Your Highness is so biased! Who gets to be so special just because they're pregnant? Does that mean I'm just someone who can't get pregnant in my entire life and should be bullied?" Yan Nangui stomped her feet.
Shu Chengfeng shook his head speechlessly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Jin Fengyi's behavior is one thing, at least she's pregnant. But what kind of girl is she? She can't even speak clearly. Shouldn't she be punished?" Yan Nangui stared at Shu Chengfeng, looking utterly aggrieved.
Shu Chengfeng...
"Alright, stop fooling around. Consort Jin was indeed wrong today. Disrespecting the Crown Princess is a mistake. You are pregnant, so it's not appropriate to punish you in any other way. Just confine yourself to your room for a few days to reflect on your actions. As for this girl, she won't be able to relay messages even after a few days. Give her twenty lashes to teach her a lesson."
"Yes. Your Highness's teachings will be remembered." Consort Jin was furious.
She did indeed use the fall as an excuse to curry favor, but unexpectedly...
"It's getting late, everyone should go back." Shu Chengfeng stood up.
Yan Nangui hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess looks a little pale. Please accompany her back. Could she have caught a chill?"
The Crown Princess was slightly surprised, but smiled gently and said, "It's alright."
But now that things have come to this point, can Shu Chengfeng still say I won't go?
Wouldn't that be disrespectful to the Crown Princess?
So he said, "Let's go. You walked here, didn't you? Then I'll walk you back. As for you, go back by yourself. You're sharp-tongued; reflect on your words."
The following part naturally refers to the wild geese returning south.
She doesn't care at all.
Back in Jiyue Pavilion, Yan Nangui changed her clothes and felt cold all over.
She wouldn't have lost her temper if she hadn't gone out in this cold weather.
After drinking a large bowl of ginger soup and quickly washing up, I went into the inner room and snuggled into bed.
I only recovered after leaning against the pillow.
“Why did you push His Highness out, Consort Liang? If you hadn’t said anything, His Highness would surely have come back,” Jiangxiang said.
"What are you coming back for?" Yan Nangui didn't seem to care much.
"Going with the Crown Princess is the right thing to do."
"Well... I hope Her Highness the Crown Princess will know how good you are," Jiang Xiang said.
"That's alright. It's just that I just don't like Jin Fengyi at all," Yan Nangui frowned.
"That's how it is between people; she just doesn't click with you," Jiangxiang said.
"Hmph, who cares whether she did it on purpose or not today? I just think she's quite cunning," Yan Nangui said.
Jiangxiang smiled and said yes, that's true.
What a coincidence!
However, after their beloved daughter made such a fuss, anyone who wants to steal her away in the future will have to think twice.
Given that Kim Bong-ui is in trouble, the proper course of action should be to retain His Highness.
But what was the result? Not only could they not keep His Highness, but they also gained absolutely nothing. They didn't even receive a reward, and were instead relegated to solitary confinement for their mistakes.
This is truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
Kim Bong-yi herself was extremely frustrated.
She felt aggrieved, and Yan Nangui felt relieved.
What's wrong with pregnant women? Can't a pregnant woman be considered dramatic?
She doesn't care because it's not her child.
People have gained a deeper understanding of the wildness of the returning geese.
She publicly declared that she couldn't have children, even though it was Kim Bong-yi who was in trouble, yet she was still punished.
In any case, the servants in the mansion all obeyed and tried their best not to offend Consort Yan.
Early in the morning, Yan Nangui had just finished getting ready when a message came from the main courtyard: the snow was so thick that the morning greetings were waived today.
Yan Nangui almost cursed as she tore her hair apart and lay back down: "Couldn't you have said so earlier? Why did you have to wait until everyone was all dressed up?"
Exactly! Isn't this just making things difficult for people?
When I woke up from that nap, it was almost noon. I finally felt completely refreshed.
My mood improved.
Some people are in a good mood, while others are not.
In the village, Madam Li and her niece Li were having a very difficult time.
The old lady is alright; after all, she is the old lady. Although things are difficult at the estate and her health is not good, she still has people to take care of her. There is no shortage of supplies.
But now, Li Shi is completely crippled, dragging her ailing body, essentially a useless person. How she lives depends entirely on whether Old Madam Li remembers her or not.
But the old lady is so old, and she still sees a doctor because of persistent vaginal bleeding. People are the most prone to resentment.
So he remembered that it was Li's instigation back then, that Li wanted to become Meng Junxian's principal wife, which led to her reckless behavior. She ordered someone to poison Yan Nangui.
It's only now, after Yan Nangui got into trouble, that they're retaliating like this.
When she felt upset, she would resent Li.
She naturally cursed Yan Nangui, but she had no evidence, so what could she do?
They wouldn't dare to directly confront the Crown Prince.
Therefore, she could only vent her anger on Madam Li. Besides, Madam Li was now pale and emaciated, no longer the vibrant and beautiful woman she once was. No longer the beloved niece she once was.
Even her own aunt harbored resentment and hatred towards Li Shi. How could Li Shi possibly have a good life?
After two consecutive snowfalls, she should have been resting properly. But the charcoal fire in her house was barely working; sometimes it was lit, sometimes it wasn't.
These days are so hard to get through, let alone describe them.
