Shu Chengfeng simply shook his head slightly.
He and the eldest princess had never gotten along since childhood.
When his elder brother was still alive, he was once considered by the ministers to be the crown prince.
For many years, His Majesty has refused to appoint a new ruler, and the eldest princess may have been instigating it.
However, there was no need to instigate it. His Majesty was young back then and did not act prudently. Although he suppressed his eldest son, another son was eventually born.
If it were now, he could simply appoint the eldest son as heir first, and then depose the other five sons.
Ultimately, crippling the naturally kind eldest son would be far more advantageous than dealing with Shu Chengfeng now.
Shu Chengfeng's personality is partly influenced by his childhood experiences, but ultimately, this is just his nature.
Yan Nangui propped her head up and looked at him with a smile on her lips.
"You look quite convincing in your southern attire. What? I've only been gone a short while, and you've already become unfamiliar with me? Aren't you coming to visit me?" Shu Chengfeng laughed.
"Your Highness is injured. What if you can't control yourself if I go over there?" Even though she said that, she still got up and went over, and sat on him without any hesitation.
His right shoulder was injured, but his left hand was fine. He put his arm around the person and said, "It's been so long, have you missed me?"
"I do want to, but I've done something bad lately," Yan Nangui said with a smile, poking his left shoulder.
Shu Chengfeng only learned about Jin Fengyi's matter this morning.
To be honest, he wasn't in a hurry to find out unless she went too far.
Looking at her now, he said, "Why do you have such a bad temper?"
“I was unhappy, so I took it out on her. I think she’ll behave herself this time,” Yan Nangui said.
"Ten catties of morning glory seeds... How did you even come up with that?" Shu Chengfeng laughed.
“I gave her a chance, she chose it herself,” Yan Nangui snorted.
"Who would choose to break their leg?" Shu Chengfeng retorted.
"Or are you saying that if she chooses to break her leg, you really want to break it?"
"Your Highness, why would you think that? I'm not such a cruel person. I was just trying to scare you," Yan Nangui said coquettishly.
Shu Chengfeng didn't explain it too clearly, but he knew very well that this woman was absolutely capable of doing it.
Look at what she's done to Aunt Li in the Meng family.
Furthermore, let's just say that out of ten pounds of morning glory seeds, not a single one is allowed to fall.
She doesn't even allow people to vomit, which shows how ruthless she is.
But this is for the best. If she can't have children, she still needs to establish herself. Otherwise, she'll get too bogged down in domestic squabbles and exhaust herself.
"Is this a bad thing? Will I be punished?" Yan Nangui continued to whine, pressing herself against him and gently rubbing against him with her fleshy parts.
The Crown Prince was enraged: "Stop fooling around, it's broad daylight."
"Oh, then I'll go back first. I'll come back when Your Highness is feeling better." Yan Nangui said, getting up to leave.
Shu Chengfeng pinned her down with one hand: "You're such a temper! All of you, get out."
Everyone quickly withdrew, and Shu Chengfeng looked at her: "Are you still trying to drive her away now? Aren't you going to serve her?"
"Serve me? I don't know how. Before I entered the Crown Prince's residence, I was someone's principal wife. You expect me to serve you with those low-class methods? How did you even think of that!" Yan Nangui lived up to his reputation for being a dog, immediately putting on a show of rage.
Shu Chengfeng laughed uncontrollably, holding her waist tightly: "...You're the one who got the wrong idea, and you still have the nerve to get angry?"
He laughed for a while before continuing, "It's inconvenient for me to use one hand, you have such a bad temper."
Yan Nangui blushed slightly. This time, she really had the wrong idea. She thought this guy was a bit...you know...and she wanted to take care of him.
Shu Chengfeng's smile dispelled that last bit of desire.
He simply put his arm around her and said, "You have such a temper."
"Not good? Just say what you mean, Your Highness, you don't need to guess." Yan Nangui hugged his neck.
When he put his arm around her neck, her right shoulder would hurt, but Shu Chengfeng didn't say anything.
"Okay, but you should also tone it down a bit. You're a smart person; too much of a good thing is bad."
"Alright, thank you, Your Highness." Yan Nangui smiled and kissed his cheek. "Is Your Highness still in a lot of pain? Who was so cruel?"
"It's just the same few people. I just didn't expect them to be so ruthless this time," Shu Chengfeng sneered.
Oh, so we don't know exactly who it is yet. Indeed, it can only be a prince.
His Majesty wouldn't go so far as to kill the Crown Prince and also damage his relationship with Meng Haijiang.
"In any case, it's good that Your Highness is alright. I imagine that this incident will further improve Your Highness's relationship with Prince Meng Haijiang and his men." Meng Haijiang, after all, commands over a hundred thousand troops.
If they can befriend Meng Haijiang's princes, it will be a great help.
Shu Chengfeng nodded: "I have other matters to attend to. You should go back first. Tonight..."
"Nonsense, Your Highness hasn't even gone to the Crown Princess's place since you came back, and I didn't have anything to do with you tonight." Yan Nangui covered his mouth.
As soon as he touched her hand, Shu Chengfeng felt the soft palm, and the desire that had disappeared from his smile rekindled.
He then held her even tighter: "My matter is not important, it's rare for Tang'er to come."
Yan Nangui blinked, giving him a few speechless glances. In the end, she gave in.
When Yan Nan returned, it was already afternoon.
After a long and tiring lunch, wouldn't it be unreasonable not to give them a meal? Of course, they ate and drank their fill before going home.
I was completely exhausted when I got back. Fighting with an injured person was just too tiring.
While the Crown Prince was busy, Shu Zhongjing also received a memorial from Meng Haijiang.
Prince Xianli, one of the four princes of Meng Haijiang, lavishly praised His Highness the Crown Prince for his care and concern for them.
It is said that she adored the Crown Prince and wanted to offer her eldest daughter to him.
This young woman was known as the most beautiful woman in Meng Haijiang, and was also addressed as a princess.
A prince's daughter cannot be a princess; it is merely a title for a woman.
His Majesty naturally did not object.
In fact, she did not have the title of princess; in terms of status, she was probably similar to a county princess in the Central Plains royal family.
But the beauty is real.
Shu Zhongjing looked at the memorial, and after a long while, took a deep breath: "Go to the Crown Prince's residence and send a message. Since Prince Xianli is interested, tell the Crown Prince to marry him with the rites due to a concubine."
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince must be troubled by this. One of these two concubines is the Empress's niece, and the other is His Highness's favorite. How can he choose?" Eunuch Xiang said with a smile.
Shu Zhongjing sneered: "I'll see what he does then."
Soon, the imperial edict arrived at the Crown Prince's residence.
Since it was an imperial edict, the whole family naturally had to receive it together.
Upon receiving the decree, Consort Ye and Consort Su's expressions turned grim.
To marry her with the rites due to a concubine means that one of them has to... give up her place.
Either he'll be demoted, or... he'll die of illness.
Once the imperial edict is issued, it is unlikely to be changed.
After receiving the imperial decree, Shu Chengfeng stood up and dismissed everyone with a wave of his hand.
Ye Liangdi and Su Liangdi returned home full of worries, and the others were not necessarily happy either.
They didn't know what this so-called princess was, but they did know how important Meng Haijiang was.
