"You're talking nonsense! The Ye family will naturally fully support His Highness..."
Aunt Lu quickly pulled her back, lest she go too far.
How dare you say something like "Your Highness is on the throne!" The Emperor is still alive.
"Isn't that it? Supporting His Highness is supporting the Crown Princess. My Yan family is the first to support Her Highness," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
The Crown Princess let out a slow breath, thinking to herself that this Yan family member... was quite formidable.
“I know how much Yan loves me. It’s getting late, you should all go back. Although Her Majesty the Empress will not make things difficult for me, I still feel guilty. Let’s not talk about it anymore, we can talk again tomorrow.”
Everyone naturally got up and dispersed.
Once outside the main courtyard, Ye Liangdi couldn't help but ask, "Do you have the final say?"
She was asking about supporting the Crown Princess.
Yan Nangui simply smiled and raised his chin: "Then what do you think?"
The sunlight shone down perfectly, and Yan Nangui's upturned face was fair and had smooth, beautiful lines.
His eyes shone brightly, with a hint of allure.
Ye Liangdi was stunned. She wondered if this woman had always been this beautiful.
When I came to my senses, Yan Nangui had already turned and left.
Inside Wangchun Pavilion, Consort Su changed her clothes and sat down.
Fu'er brought her some drinks: "Liangdi, this servant doesn't understand, what is Consort Yan up to?"
"Is it true that he's on the Crown Princess's side?"
“Hmm, isn’t this good too?” Su Liangdi said.
“But I just don’t understand. Wasn’t it said that her aunt begged the Empress to let her into the mansion? Shouldn’t she be on the Ye family’s side? The Ning family’s attitude towards His Highness is also ambiguous, and their daughter even married the Seventh Prince… How come Consort Yan has her eye on the Crown Princess?”
After taking several sips of tea, Consort Su said, "I didn't understand it before either. But now I think it's because she felt that Consort Ye couldn't replace the Crown Princess."
"Or rather... if you choose the Ye family, the Yan family chooses the Empress. If you choose the Ning family, the Yan family chooses the Crown Prince."
Ultimately, she was attached to the Crown Prince, not the Crown Princess.
What she said and did today was simply to tell the Crown Princess that her position was secure.
But does Lady Yan really need the Crown Princess to give her a chance to see the Crown Prince?
No, it's not necessary.
So she was merely trying to curry favor with the Crown Princess, but ultimately, she was trying to curry favor with the Crown Prince.
"No matter what, supporting the orthodox path is never wrong." This applies to those in the court and to the women in the inner quarters.
“Supporting the Ye family will inevitably make the Crown Princess dislike her. There will only be more infighting in the inner court.”
In any household, isn't it the main house that's considered proper for the concubine to be in the backyard?
"The Yan family is indeed formidable."
Has General Yan said he supports the Crown Prince? No.
However, he did not support others.
The three daughters and niece, who had the opportunity to marry the prince, did not get married.
Whatever the reason, she's not married.
However, he sent gifts to his eldest daughter several times.
Some things don't need to be explained too clearly; the details are the truth.
“This servant understands.” Fu’er nodded: “In that case, she is truly extraordinary.”
“Of course she’s not simple. I just wonder if the Crown Princess knows that.” Consort Su smiled and shook her head.
Lady Yan was very clever; she would rather offend the Empress than put herself in a disadvantageous position for the sake of temporary convenience.
She has such a long-term vision; she probably foresaw the future long ago.
Ye Liangdi is unlikely to achieve great things.
It cannot replace the Ning family.
Besides, she was not favored by the emperor, so why should Yan support her?
Yan Nangui has said what she wanted to say, and she doesn't care what others think. Even if her words reached His Majesty's ears, did she say anything treasonous? No.
As for what the Empress will do when she finds out, let her do what she wants.
She was just a concubine, with several people above her. Could the Empress possibly eat her?
Therefore, she was not flustered at all.
Whether these words will reach the palace is still unknown, but the Crown Prince in the front courtyard will soon find out.
He laughed and said, "So that's exactly what she said?"
“Yes, Yan Liangyuan is quite bold,” Yun Ji said.
"Haha, is there anything she wouldn't dare to do?" Shu Chengfeng shook his head: "Give her proper instructions, and don't let what happened this morning get out."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Yun Ji smiled and left.
Shu Chengfeng was in a good mood, so he got up and strolled off to find Yan Nangui.
Yan Nangui was sitting in the pear orchard eating grapes. She loved grapes, and these grapes were especially delicious.
It's small, but it's really sweet.
Yan Nangui saw the Crown Prince from afar, but did not rush to get up.
The crown prince naturally saw her and walked over, saying, "You certainly know how to pick a place."
"I'm thinking of having someone set up a swing here for me later," Yan Nangui said, getting up.
"If you want it, then get it. Go and give the order right away," Shu Chengfeng said.
Liu, the eunuch who was following, hurriedly agreed and went.
He thought to himself, "This Yan Liangyuan really can get anything she wants."
In Feihong Garden, which is very close to here, Madam Xiao watched from behind the gate.
Her maidservant said, echoing Meng Haijiang's words, "Aren't you going to see him?"
After hesitating for a long time, Xiao still did not go out.
He frowned and replied, "Never mind, let's do it in a few days."
The girl nodded, not quite sure why.
After all, it wasn't her who went with them that day.
Yan Nangui and Shu Chengfeng stayed there for a while before returning to Jiyue Pavilion.
The sun is getting stronger, and it's getting hot here.
Icebergs have started to be placed inside, but it's only May, so it's hot during the day but not so bad at night. It's not that bad yet.
It's just that geese flying south are particularly intolerant of heat.
"You like the Crown Princess that much?" Shu Chengfeng finally asked the serious question.
"Pah! I wouldn't like her if it weren't for you! Are you kidding me!" Yan Nangui threw the handkerchief in her hand at Shu Chengfeng.
His eye roll was particularly obvious.
"You still have the nerve to ask? Who told me I'm your concubine? If it were me, I would have confronted His Majesty in the face yesterday. The Crown Princess is gentle; I merely tried to subtly remind her. She might not even have listened. I've truly offended everyone, and all for your sake!"
This complaining yet helpless tone made Shu Chengfeng feel even better.
He smiled and pulled her close, hugging her: "Alright, alright, it's all for me, I'll remember it."
"Then you'd better remember that," Yan Nangui snorted.
I thought to myself, "Of course I want you to remember this. How could I put on this act of being a virtuous and sensible woman for nothing?"
"I'll take you out in a few days," Shu Chengfeng said.
"It's too hot in the summer," Yan Nangui refused.
"Thank goodness the dragon boat race was canceled, otherwise I would have been roasted alive today." It's easy to imagine it wasn't a very comfortable activity.
"You won't go even if I take you to escape the summer heat?" Shu Chengfeng asked.
"How far is it?" Yan Nangui asked.
"The villa in the southern suburbs is about a half-day drive away. I'll take you there to stay for a few days."
"Oh...isn't it too early to go now? Shouldn't it be June or July?"
"I'm going to recuperate." Shu Chengfeng smiled.
Yan Nangui understood: "Okay. Then don't take me with you, I don't want to be a target."
