Yuanhua chuckled: "No, of course not."
"Tsk, this kind of tactic is the most low-level." Yan Nangui leaned back again: "Speaking of which, Xia Fengyi is a very quiet person. Now that Ye Liangdi is no longer bothering her, she has been keeping a low profile."
“Yes, he said he spends his days painting or reading in his room, and occasionally goes for a walk in the garden,” Yuanhua said.
"That's wonderful. If I were His Highness, I would like him too. He's handsome, has no family troubles, is sensible and obedient. He can write and paint, isn't that great?" Yan Nangui said sincerely.
“You’re praising others, Consort Liang. Aren’t His Highness coming here often these days? Does His Highness not like you anymore?” Yuanhua said with a smile.
"That's definitely liking him too. It's just that this liking is different. As for me, maybe I'm interesting? He probably hasn't seen anyone like me before?" Yan Nangui said with a smile.
This liking is definitely different from other likings.
Shu Chengfeng must like her to come often; otherwise, if it were only because of her family background, then it would be Cousin Ye.
That night, it snowed again. It was already late November.
It was soon December, the coldest time of the year, so Yan Nangui simply stayed indoors. After all, there was no need for him to pay his respects.
They spend their days by the fire, lounging around, eating and drinking.
Anyway, she needs to take care of her health, so she's just taking it easy.
The Crown Prince is also busy. These past few days, he hasn't even been to the inner courtyard, let alone stayed at home from dawn till dusk.
However, the day before yesterday, I still took the time to tell the chief minister that I would not be taking anyone with me when I inspected the military camps in the capital region this year.
The main problem is the bad weather, and it's also troublesome to bring female relatives.
His Highness the Crown Prince is not so lacking as to be in dire need.
The Crown Princess was naturally pleased to hear this. There were already many people in the inner court who were out of control, and she was not willing to promote anyone else.
When I woke up this morning, it was still snowing outside. It seemed to have stopped for a while during the night, but it was still snowing heavily.
The two old women and Shuanzi cleared the road together, and the young maids also helped tidy up.
Yan Nangui instructed, "Just leave one path open. We can clean up later when it stops. His Highness the Crown Prince won't be coming today."
Everyone agreed.
The problem is, sometimes it's just a coincidence; you think he wouldn't come, but he comes braving the snow.
Upon entering, I was stunned. The path I had just cleared was gone because it hadn't been swept again in time…
"Which servants are serving you? How can you be so lazy?" Shu Chengfeng said casually, without seeming particularly angry.
Because he knew all too well that Yan Nan had returned; if it weren't for her indulgence, the people below would never have dared to do so.
Yan Nangui had already seen him, and stood at the door wrapped in a large cloak: "Isn't it good that Your Highness came to find me in the snow? Don't be angry."
Several people were already kneeling in the courtyard.
Yan Nangui laughed, "Fool, still kneeling? Why aren't you serving me?"
Everyone busied themselves serving them.
Shu Chengfeng had already arrived: "It must be because you indulged him."
"How could I have imagined such a large snowfall for Your Highness?" Yan Nangui smiled and took his hand.
Shu Chengfeng raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you worried about me getting cold this time?"
"You did something wrong, so you should try to appease them." Yan Nangui winked.
Shu Chengfeng shook his head: "Anyway, you have a point. Go ahead, I'll grill some first."
He then let go of her hand.
Yun took off his cloak and took it to the courtyard to shake off the snowflakes. Even with an umbrella, it couldn't cover him completely.
Shu Chengfeng was wearing a crimson dragon robe, his posture was upright, and his wide waist made his waist look slender and handsome.
The hanging white jade pendant swayed slightly.
Yan Nangui then grabbed him, saying, "This jade pendant doesn't seem to belong to His Highness."
Shu Chengfeng laughed.
“It doesn’t suit Your Highness’s attire either.” Yan Nangui continued to approach.
"Take it if you want. Why have you become so reserved?" Shu Chengfeng chuckled. "This was given to me by the Empress Dowager when I entered the palace last year."
"Hmm, well, I'm jealous. These things are too private," Yan Nangui said affectionately.
"Take it, take it. You have such a good eye; you can tell anything is good." This jade pendant is made from a single piece of mutton-fat white jade.
Importantly, the jade is delicate and lustrous, and the carving is extremely exquisite.
It is a rare and excellent material, almost without any flaws.
Yan Nangui pulled it down without any hesitation.
Originally, she just wanted to put on an act, so it wouldn't be right for her not to accept the money since they were offering it.
"Your Highness, it's almost time to prepare lunch since you're arriving now. Are you leaving today?" Yan Nangui asked.
"I'm not leaving. I've been tired these past few days, so I'll rest here for a while." Shu Chengfeng sat down and put his arm around the person. "I won't ask you anything this year. I suppose you don't want to go out with me anyway."
"I miss it so much, but it's too cold." Yan Nangui covered Shu Chengfeng's mouth with her hand: "Don't say it."
Shu Chengfeng swallowed his words.
"Oh, right, there's something I think I'd forget if I didn't tell you," Yan Nangui said, then told Li Shi about it.
"What? You want me to help you keep her? Does Nan Gui hate Meng Junxian that much?" Shu Chengfeng gently hooked his arm around her waist and patted her back a few times with one hand.
“I don’t think it’s hatred, it’s disgust. We have to make him regret his actions. But keeping Li Shi around isn’t just for that. Otherwise, with His Highness here, would I need to go through such a roundabout way to get revenge?” Yan Nangui leaned against him directly: “Isn’t the Meng family related to the Second Prince? The Second Prince has tried every means to win them over. There’s also Yan Jinsi involved, and the Eldest Princess is also implicated. Li Shi will always be useful.”
"Okay." Shu Chengfeng responded, then thought for a moment, "I understand."
"Your Highness is so kind," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
Shu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Tang'er asked for it, so of course I can't do it badly, right? But... I've already done it for you, so how can I repay you?"
"Your Highness is so boring. Is this something to repay? Shouldn't matters in the bedroom be a natural progression, like water flowing into a channel and dry wood igniting a passion? What's the point of going for it if you have some ulterior motive? Your Highness always asks this. Is it the same as me doing it to please you or because I covet Your Highness's beauty?"
Shu Chengfeng...
He never expected to receive such an answer.
So there was nothing to say, and it was even a little awkward.
"Look at Your Highness's hair, it must have been washed yesterday? Let me comb your hair for you." With that, she quickly pulled out Shu Chengfeng's hairpin.
Before Shu Chengfeng could stop him, his other hand removed the dragon-patterned hair ornament.
Her long hair was simply let down.
His long, black hair with a hint of gold framed a face that seemed both helpless and dangerous.
Yan Nangui hugged her and gave her a big kiss, then happily started fixing her hair.
Shu Chengfeng was indeed tired these past few days, so he let her do whatever she wanted and leaned back in his soft chair to rest.
Although the weather was bad, the two of them snuggling together only brought warmth.
Time flies when you're just cuddling around, and soon it'll be time to serve the meal.
Yan Nangui, still feeling unsatisfied, combed his hair and washed his hands.
In any case, this counts as today's event.
Lunch looks delicious; I must eat more.
