She went to the front yard that night.
In the backyard, no one knew what she was saying, but Ye Liangdi felt much more at ease.
Su Liangdi stayed in the front yard for more than an hour, and when she returned, her eyes were red.
The next morning, she also took leave and did not go to the main courtyard to pay her respects.
Everyone was speculating that she might be demoted, and no one dared to say a word.
But they didn't receive a word from His Highness the Crown Prince.
However, it was decided that Princess Wuzhalizhu would enter the mansion on the first day of the fifth month.
It is evident that Shu Chengfeng had just returned from Meng Haijiang when Prince Xianli sent the person out.
So, we're in a hurry to get to the capital, and this is the perfect opportunity to visit your residence.
Shu Chengfeng went to the main courtyard that morning.
The Crown Princess thought to herself that this probably meant it was decided who would be demoted.
"Is Your Highness's injury any better? I heard that Your Highness has not had a good appetite these past few days?" the Crown Princess asked.
"It's alright. The poor appetite is just because of the hot weather; you don't feel like eating much. There's no need to worry, Jiao Lan. But let me tell you about the Wagda clan."
The Crown Princess was stunned for a moment, momentarily dazed.
Wagda clan... This refers to Princess Uzalizhu.
The surnames of the Meng Haijiang people are already quite complex.
In particular, the surnames of former royal families are long and difficult to remember.
Wagda isn't all; there's more to come. If you were to call her by her full name, she would be called Wagda Warajusan Uzalizhu.
"Yes, is this according to the imperial decree? I've looked into it myself. There's another place called Liuyun Pavilion in this palace... but it's not very big. I was thinking, perhaps we shouldn't ask them to move elsewhere?" The Crown Princess thought that, regardless of whether it was the Ye or Su family, being demoted was a disgrace. Asking them to move again...
It's like killing someone by breaking their spirit.
“From now on, we will rename this Liuyun Pavilion to Liuyun Garden. Since it’s not big enough, there’s no need to force it into the name of a pavilion. Since it’s too small, we’ll find a larger place. The imperial decree orders that she be received according to the etiquette for a concubine, but she should still be welcomed as a concubine. There’s no need to go overboard,” Shu Chengfeng said.
"This... is so." The Crown Princess was taken aback, then realized, "I was mistaken. I will make preparations again immediately. Since she is a concubine, it should be easier to arrange."
"Even a concubine of high rank is no exception; how could she possibly surpass you? Just relax. Once she enters the manor, she is not allowed to be called a princess. I will bestow a surname upon her later." What princess?
Would he even be interested in him?
"Yes." The Crown Princess was indeed much happier upon hearing this.
Who would want an extra big Buddha in their backyard? Since the Crown Prince has this attitude, the Crown Princess knows exactly what's going on.
"There's no need to say these things. Just focus on doing your job," Shu Chengfeng said.
The Crown Princess immediately understood; this meant not letting the inner court overhear too much.
Tsk, I wonder what the people in the backyard are worried about. But it's true, it's not appropriate for the palace to know so much.
No matter how worried I am, the day is drawing ever closer.
The Crown Princess later chose Feihong Garden, which wasn't far from Jiyue Pavilion.
This place is a bit larger, so we can just do some minor repairs.
While the Crown Prince's residence was arranging this matter, the palace was also waiting for news, only hearing that the Crown Prince's residence was arranging accommodations, and so on.
Shu Zhongjing then waited for the time to come.
As April came to an end, a heavy rain fell, and the sweltering air cooled down.
Nawuzalizhu arrived a few days ago.
However, they stayed at an inn.
The day finally arrived, and everyone wore red, but unfortunately, Xifu's and Liangdi's outfits were still far inferior.
In the Crown Prince's residence, only the Crown Princess and her two concubines were allowed to enter wearing red.
The outfit that Wuzalizhu is wearing now looks more like the pink dress worn when taking a concubine in the common people's household.
In terms of protocol, it was naturally far less grand than when Consort Ye entered the mansion. On this day, the mansion naturally knew that a Lady Consort had entered.
Ye Liangdi breathed a sigh of relief.
Shu Zhongjing also knew that the Crown Prince had never demoted anyone. He was angry, but there was nothing he could do.
And so, Wuzalizhu entered the Crown Prince's residence.
After paying their respects, they met the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince, citing the fact that some of her ancestors had lived in the capital and had been granted the surname 'Xiao', bestowed upon her the surname Xiao.
Uzalizhu didn't mind and happily accepted it.
The next day, when she went to pay her respects to the head of the household, she was almost late.
It wasn't intentional, but most of her maids were brought from Meng Haijiang and weren't familiar with everything, so that's how it happened.
She doesn't speak the Central Plains dialect very well, but we can communicate.
After everyone had paid their respects, she was to perform the grand ceremony.
However, after arriving in the capital, she had not been taught by any governesses, and she was completely clueless that morning, relying entirely on a maid from the mansion for guidance.
The grand gesture was not quite right.
Everyone couldn't help but smile.
The Crown Princess, with an air of magnanimity, said, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has bestowed a surname upon you. From now on, Sister Xiao will be a sister in the household. Once you enter the household, you must be careful with your words and actions, abide by the rules, and bear children for His Highness."
After a moment's thought, Ms. Xiao replied, "I understand!"
The Crown Princess still smiled: "You're new here, and you don't know the rules yet, so you need to learn them properly. Wet nurse, find her a nanny to teach her manners first. She's a concubine after all, she needs to know some manners. Otherwise, how will she manage when she enters the palace?"
Upon hearing the name "Liangyuan," Madam Xiao became displeased.
Until yesterday, she had always thought of herself as a respectable woman.
Liangdi knew that she was the highest-ranking concubine under the Crown Princess.
She might become a Noble Consort if she enters the palace in the future.
The fact that Consort Zhen was favored was known throughout the grasslands.
She could become a respectable woman, but that's far from enough.
"Your Highness, I don't recognize any of these people," said Madam Xiao, pointing to the people inside the room.
"If you don't know them, then get to know them one by one." The Crown Princess merely glanced at Su Jin indifferently.
Su Jin came over and introduced them one by one: "This is Consort Ye, and this is Consort Su."
Because of her high status, she had to bow to her.
“This is Consort Yan, this is Consort Luo, and this is Consort Murong, all of the same rank as you, Consort Xiao,” Su Jin reminded them.
So she should see Pingli, but she doesn't.
So I skipped it.
"The following are Ning Chenghui, Zhang Chenghui, Ding Zhaoxun, Xia Zhaoxun, and a few other officials," Su Jin said.
Naturally, one should pay respects to her.
Xiao Liangyuan glanced at Xia Zhaoxun's belly and smiled.
After everyone had met and the Crown Princess had given them their gifts, they were dismissed.
On the way back, because they were staying in the same place, Yan Nangui and Murong Liangyuan, and Xiao Liangyuan were naturally traveling together.
Following Zhang Chenghui, Xia Zhaoxun didn't walk this way. She was actually in the middle; walking through the garden would have been the same. Feihong Garden and Jiyue Pavilion were separated only by a road and trees on both sides, making them the closest.
However, the layout is staggered, with Jiyue Pavilion being larger, so it's located a bit further back.
Feihong Garden is located next to the lake. The Magnolia Bridge and Ning Chenghui's Mingyue Pavilion are separated by a lake and face each other.
Just then, as Yan Nangui was about to leave, Xiao Liangyuan suddenly said, "Sister Yan, do you live here? It's so big! How come it's bigger than mine? Can I go and take a look?"
