Yan Nangui took off the bracelet again: "I'll wear it in the summer; it's too cold to wear in the winter."
Shu Chengfeng nodded: "The New Year is coming soon, and it's been more than a year since you came to the manor."
Yan Nangui sat down with a smile: "Yes, at this time last year, I wasn't familiar with His Highness at all."
Shu Chengfeng laughed. Not familiar? How dare she say that.
At this time last year, he didn't notice anything unusual about the woman.
I was never afraid of myself from the beginning.
“If the Crown Princess doesn’t come to the palace during the New Year, I won’t go either, right?” Yan Nangui said.
"The Lunar New Year is different from the Laba Festival, so we still have to go." Shu Chengfeng didn't say whether the Crown Princess would go or not.
As for Xiaoyuezi, it's up to her to decide.
Yan Nangui could only shrug. She had only asked casually, based on her understanding of the Crown Princess…
I'm afraid she'll go no matter what.
"What are you thinking about?" Shu Chengfeng asked when he saw her lost in thought.
"Oh, I was thinking about Kim Bong-yi's pregnancy, is it three or four months along? Her pregnancy seems stable, I wonder if it's a boy or a girl."
Shu Chengfeng hummed in response but didn't reply.
He didn't know whether it was a man or a woman.
However, although he had few children, he didn't have high hopes for them.
It's mainly because it was born to Kim, so there's not much to expect.
He did want a legitimate son, but the Crown Princess was also...
Yan Nangui had only suddenly thought of this, and didn't continue.
The two chatted for a while, catching up on all sorts of things.
"Oh, right." Yan Nangui smiled, "I heard today that the old woman from the Meng family has been taken back, but while she's gone, she can't manage the backyard anymore. Meng Junxian was given sixty lashes by his father. He's lying in bed now."
Shu Chengfeng...
"Should I... share your joy?"
"No need, I'm just happy anyway." Yan Nangui still persevered, standing up again and slowly moving forward. "Without his father's support, Meng Junxian is nothing. The Second Prince values Meng Jianghe's abilities. However, the chaos in the Meng family is not good for the Second Prince. Although Li Shi has encountered trouble, she has been the mistress of the house for decades and has given birth to two sons and a daughter. Meng Junxian is still the eldest son, so naturally he won't just watch him fall into such a state. Since he can't rely on his biological father, doesn't he still have his mother-in-law?"
Yan Nangui smiled and said, "The eldest princess is wavering between the princes. She knows she can't stand with Your Highness. So she can only choose from among the princes. Fourth sister is still young, and the situation changes too much every year. For now, wouldn't it be better for her to rely on the second prince?"
Shu Chengfeng raised an eyebrow: "Tang'er is intelligent."
"Then, Your Highness, I'll tell you a secret." Yan Nangui walked over with a smile: "The Princess is now very regretful for not establishing her own residence. She's not comfortable staying in the Yan family at all."
Shu Chengfeng smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid that's impossible."
Has Your Majesty forgotten that your only younger sister has no residence?
He simply wouldn't let her have it; she had to be tied to Yan Lingyun.
"Does it matter if it's possible or not? What matters is that someone has to express their opinion. Look, the Second Prince asked Yan Jinsi for a princess title, and she was happy. What if the Second Prince asks for a mansion next? Whether it goes or not, she has already expressed her opinion, isn't that great?"
The important thing is that the eldest princess will have her fantasies then.
If the second prince ascends the throne, he will surely treat his aunt well, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Shu Chengfeng pulled her into his arms and then rubbed her stomach, saying, "You really have a brilliant plan."
"You're exaggerating. I'm just a little bit clever."
Shu Chengfeng didn't reply, but just rubbed her stomach.
He thought to himself, "This woman is indeed very insightful."
She included her father in her calculations.
The closer the eldest princess got to the other princes, the further away she got from the general.
The more estranged the couple became, the more the general cared about his daughter.
The other princes probably thought that if he, as the crown prince, had no hope of ascending the throne, then Yan Nangui's position would be abolished.
The general will eventually help his other daughters.
pity.
What a pity.
Shu Chengfeng will not lose.
"Your Highness, you must put in more effort. The person on the dragon throne is just hoping something bad will happen to me. It's just that they can't openly poison me to death. If you hurry up and sit on the throne, even if I live in the cold palace, I won't have to worry about my life."
The wild geese fly south, seemingly without warning.
"...There are too many people in the Cold Palace, so you shouldn't go and join in the fun." Shu Chengfeng's hand was a little heavier.
"Alas, they say the heart of an emperor is the most unfathomable. Even now, Your Highness is only half a ruler, and I can't fathom it. One day you will be the emperor. Knowing so many little secrets, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be a good thing if I can live in the Cold Palace. If I can't even live there, Your Highness should at least make it clear when you give me the medicine."
"Also, allow me to bid Your Highness a proper farewell, lest you go to the underworld in a daze," Yan Nangui said, gently poking his neck.
"Tang'er is really good at thinking." Shu Chengfeng stopped her and hugged her. "What did Tang'er find out? Hmm? There's something deadly? Don't worry, I can't bear to part with it."
He said for the first time, "When the time comes, Tang'er can choose a place to live that suits her taste. You can plant a whole yard full of crabapple and morning glory flowers."
"Oh, I'm so touched." Yan Nangui buried her head in his chest: "Then I'll believe you. No matter what, on that day, you must grant my wish."
She was referring to the eldest princess, of course.
At that moment, Yan Nangui had no idea whether he would receive a cup of poison in return.
But she thought it probably wouldn't happen.
Yan Lingyun is no pushover either.
However, it's always good to increase your leverage now.
It's okay. Even if I died back then, it wouldn't matter. I've done what I had to do, and that's enough. There's nothing to be pitied.
"Alright, stop overthinking. I might not have time to come over again before the New Year." Shu Chengfeng pinched her cheek.
Yan Nangui hugged his neck and said, "Okay."
Although it was cold outside, the atmosphere inside Jiyue Pavilion was very pleasant.
In the main courtyard, the Crown Princess discussed with Madam He: "I think I should be well by the time of the Lunar New Year."
"This... your body can't handle it, can it? Can you really recover in just over ten days?"
"Sigh, no one knows what happened this time. If I hadn't shown up, people would have noticed. That wouldn't have been good. I'll definitely have to go to the palace for the New Year anyway. It's better to just go before the Lunar New Year." The Crown Princess sighed.
She comes from a noble family, and it's one thing that she couldn't get pregnant, but she lost her baby twice. How could she not feel inferior?
In today's limited society, if a child cannot be born or is not born well, the blame is always placed on the birth mother.
No matter how aggrieved the Crown Princess was, she could only hope that things would get better soon.
As I said before, it's one thing if she can't have a child, but she can't fail in her responsibilities as the Crown Princess.
The more distressed she was, the more at ease Ning Chenghui felt.
Whether Kim Bong-yi gives birth or not is not something she cares about.
However, in the main courtyard, only Ning's children can be born to her.
