Chapter 192 Greed and Lust



Of the entire Ye family, the people who care about Ye Liangdi the most are naturally her biological parents.

Although the Empress had instructed that two other maids be trained, Madam Qian would naturally not allow her daughter to be wasted like this.

If a daughter has a bad temper, then someone is sent to teach her.

Aunt Lu was Qian's personal attendant. With her guidance, Ye Liangdi naturally wouldn't become worse.

Lady Qian harbored resentment towards the Empress. When she was useful, everything about her was appreciated, but now she was being abandoned?

Impossible. As long as she remains the wife of the Ye family, she will not allow her daughter to be abandoned like this.

Ye Liangdi felt very wronged during all these times.

Although she was foolish, she could sense that Shu Chengfeng was becoming increasingly distant from her. This was completely different from when she first entered the manor.

So, since he was obedient, Aunt Lu was ultimately relieved.

There is still hope.

Since the Crown Princess said there's no need to pay respects.

Those geese flying south, shouldn't they sleep until they naturally wake up? Waking up naturally feels so good.

I heard that Consort Ye served the Emperor last night. Yan Nangui didn't have anything to say, so he just hummed in agreement and went to eat his belated breakfast.

Just as we finished eating, we heard from outside that Luo Liangyuan had arrived.

Yan Nangui frowned: "Just say I haven't gotten up yet."

"I'm afraid that won't work. We ran into those people when we were carrying the food," Chanyi said.

“Then… say I ate and then went to sleep. Or say I wasn’t feeling well,” Yan Nangui said.

Chanyi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Then I will go."

Just as Consort Luo was about to enter, Chanyi came over to greet her: "Greetings, Consort Luo. Our Consort had a bit of a headache this morning and went back to sleep because she was late for breakfast. We didn't dare to disturb her..."

"What's wrong? Why is my sister sick? Have you called the imperial physician yet?" Luo Liangyuan asked.

"I didn't call them. They said they'd talk to me after I woke up from a nap," Chanyi said apologetically. "If you need anything, I'll go and tell them?"

"I'm fine. I just came to see Sister Yan. Since she's not feeling well, I'll head back now. Please take good care of her. If you need anything, just come find me," Luo Liangyuan said.

"Yes, this servant thanks you on behalf of our Lady. This servant will see you off," Chanyi said.

They saw him off, and then saw him off respectfully.

When I returned, I saw Yan Nangui already sitting on the porch by the door.

The sun is just starting to get really strong right now.

On a winter morning, as long as there's no wind and the sun is out, you can sit outside.

"You don't want to see her?" Chanyi asked.

"Tsk, she's not exactly a complicated person. It's just that I don't like her attitude." Yan Nangui thought for a moment and described, "I have no problem with her being nice to me. But the fact that she wants to form an alliance with me only because I can't have children, why do I find that so nagging?"

Su Liangdi also meant to help and support each other, but she wasn't in such a hurry.

“Yes, then we should keep our distance from each other in the future,” Chanyi said.

"Let's just make do. There's no need to become enemies, but there's no need to be too close either. I'm better off going it alone," Yan Nangui said nonchalantly.

"Yes, I remember." Chanyi replied, "I'll go get you some dried fruit."

As he spoke, he took out the roasted peanuts that he had brought back from the kitchen yesterday.

These peanuts aren't big, but they smell really good.

Yan Nangui ate while basking in the sun.

Meanwhile, Luo Liangyuan returned to her residence, before she could say anything. Her maid, Zhiyun, asked, "What's wrong with Yan Liangyuan? Could she be pregnant too?"

"How could that be? She's always been willful; she probably hasn't even done her makeup yet," Luo Liangyuan said, not really caring.

“You’re right,” Zhiyun agreed.

"I wonder what's wrong with the main courtyard." Luo Liangyuan had originally intended to tell Yan Nangui about this.

“We’re not going to get involved anyway, so let it be. It’s just that the main courtyard was perfectly fine, and then suddenly they called for the imperial physician, and today he’s nowhere to be seen. It’s hard to say what’s going on. Last time, Consort Ye’s pregnancy was all over the place…” Zhiyun said.

"Yes, the people in the Crown Prince's residence are too complicated. I'm caught in the middle, and I only hope to protect myself and my child. Although I still want to have a son, I really don't dare to now." If there's another one, she'll be a sitting duck.

“That day will come eventually. Right now you only have the eldest princess, who is a girl, but she is still His Highness’s eldest daughter, so it’s different. In the future, she will be the eldest princess,” Zhiyun said.

Luo Liangyuan nodded. Indeed, the girl posed no threat; she would eventually rise to a high position.

In the main courtyard, the Crown Princess is feeling slightly better today; at least she's stopped bleeding.

However, I don't dare to move around too much unless necessary; otherwise, I just lie down and rest.

In the afternoon, Shu Chengfeng sent someone to check on her and learned that she was feeling better, so he was relieved.

November is almost over, and in December, the Crown Prince will once again inspect the military camps in the capital region.

There will inevitably be a tug-of-war between the central government and the central government; there's so much to do.

A few days later, Lan Xiangyi sent someone to the Crown Prince's residence to inquire about Yan Nangui's whereabouts. The main purpose of the visit was to ask if Yan Nangui could go to the temple to offer incense to Lan Jingyi's memorial tablet.

Yan Nan is naturally willing to return, but once he leaves the city, he can't move around freely.

So that evening, she went to the front yard by herself.

They successfully met Shu Chengfeng.

"Tang'er, is something the matter?" Shu Chengfeng had just returned and hadn't even changed his clothes yet.

It's clear that he still has things to do.

"There is something I need to discuss. The day after tomorrow is the anniversary of my mother's death. My aunt set up a memorial tablet for her at Jingci Temple, and she came to ask me today if I could go and offer incense. I was thinking that leaving the city is a big deal, so I'll ask Your Highness first. If Your Highness grants permission, I'll then ask the Crown Princess."

Shu Chengfeng nodded: "Of course, go ahead then. Have Wei Xiao go with you. You're smart, so be careful when you're out there. Understand?"

Yan Nangui nodded: "I know. So it's not good to go in a low-key manner."

Shu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Yes, it's good that you know."

"Then I'll head back. Your Highness, please continue with your work." Yan Nangui was about to leave.

Shu Chengfeng grabbed him, asking, "Where are you going? You're leaving after you're done?"

"How could I just use it and leave? You're busy, so I'm being sensible, aren't I?" Yan Nangui chuckled, wondering what kind of impression she had of this prince.

"Wait, I still have a few documents to approve, once they're all approved," Shu Chengfeng said.

"Then approve it, I'll wait for you to go back together."

Shu Chengfeng glanced at her a few times, then shook his head and left without answering.

After about fifteen minutes, they finished their work, and Shu Chengfeng decided not to change his clothes and went back to Jiyue Pavilion with her.

"Does staying in the front yard make you uncomfortable?" Shu Chengfeng asked.

"No, you've been so busy these past few days, working from dawn till dusk. Do you think I'd sleep in the front yard after you leave? Your Highness is a grown man, so please walk a little further. I'd rather avoid suffering."

"Lazy, greedy, and lustful—you've got it all," Shu Chengfeng glanced at her.

Yan Nangui chuckled: "Lazy and averse to work? Do you expect me, a concubine of the Crown Prince, to work in the fields? As for being greedy and lustful, I can admit to being lustful. Your Highness is absolutely gorgeous, it would be crazy if I weren't. What about being greedy? You think accepting money from Your Highness is greed? You're being too stingy."
