Even though Shu Chengfeng was asleep, he knew that the woman had probably gotten tired of playing with him, so he got up.
Thankfully, they had a conscience and covered him with a blanket; even in summer, it's always a bit cold to sleep.
Finally, after a good night's sleep, Shu Chengfeng woke up to find it was dusk. He stood up and stretched, realizing it was the first time he'd ever fallen asleep right there in the rocking chair, and he slept for over an hour.
Yan Nangui came over and said, "Your Highness can really sleep."
Shu Chengfeng stretched his arms and legs, his long hair loose, and tossed it back: "Have you had enough fun?"
"Nonsense, how could that be enough? I will never tire of Your Highness."
Shu Chengfeng gave her a half-smile and said, "Aren't you going to comb my hair yet?"
"Mmm." Yan Nangui cupped her face, looking obedient.
Unfortunately, while she's great at playing with hair, she's not so good at combing it.
In the end, it was Chanyi who helped to fix it. Shu Chengfeng had already been pulled so hard several times that he was completely exasperated.
Dinner consisted of produce from this villa, including free-range chickens and fish and shrimp from the lotus pond.
Although it wasn't as refined as the food at the manor, the taste was exceptionally good. Shu Chengfeng and Yan Nangui were very satisfied with their meal.
We were just hungry.
In the evening, the two took a walk around the villa before going back to rest.
No one was foolish enough to run into us.
They were both in a good mood, but someone else was not.
In the palace, His Majesty visited Consort Wan's Jade Palace again tonight.
The rewards flowed into the Jade Palace like a stream.
In Feiluan Palace, even the precious Consort could not eat her dinner.
His Majesty has not come for seven days, which would have been impossible in the past.
Even during holidays, His Majesty would never consider the Empress's feelings, but now...
"What's so good about that bitch? She was the same person yesterday, and she's the same person today!" Consort Zhen smashed her teacup.
She truly began to sense a change in His Majesty's attitude towards her.
In the past, no matter what His Majesty was like, he always favored and protected her. He never let her suffer any injustice in matters concerning the women of the harem.
But now, if she were to bring something up, His Majesty would actually say that they are still young...
This left Consort Zhen with a lump in her throat, and she dared not say anything more.
“Your Majesty, you mustn’t be impatient. We have the Twelfth Prince, who is still His Majesty’s favorite child, and the Cao family is rising in rank.” Luo Shui comforted her, “Think about it, His Majesty is becoming increasingly impatient with the Crown Prince, and has publicly stated that he has no legitimate son…”
"Think about it, His Majesty despises the Ye family the most. If the Crown Prince can be deposed, then the Empress will not be able to be saved either."
The fact that the crown prince could be deposed at least shows that the Ye family had little power.
How could Empress Ye possibly survive?
"At that time, His Majesty intended to appoint another empress. Who else could it be besides you?"
Although the Imperial Concubine, the Virtuous Concubine, the Gentle Concubine, and the Wise Concubine are all, in principle, the four consorts of the first rank.
But the Imperial Concubine is still more noble.
“These are too far away. If I were to ask Consort Wanshu and Consort Fanghui to get up now, I…” Consort Zhen bit her lip.
“Even if they rise again, one is a foreign princess and the other comes from humble origins. What can they do? Look, our uncle isn’t very popular with His Majesty these days,” Luo Shui said.
"Even Consort Xu and Consort Lin are no match for them; they can't even defeat a member of the Kong family." Consort Zhen gritted her teeth. She had also cultivated her own people, but unfortunately, they were incompetent.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's still early. After a while, His Majesty might get tired of them," Luo Shui said.
Consort Zhen nodded, but she was still uneasy.
However, there were some secret thoughts that could not be told to others. That was, although there were many favored women in the harem, there was not one who could make His Majesty feel that... unspeakable feeling.
"Alright, it's getting late, go to sleep." I still need to pay my respects tomorrow. Even if we dislike each other, if I don't, people will inevitably gossip.
In the Longevity Palace, Empress Dowager Jiang played chess with herself.
Pengyue came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should rest."
"Did the Emperor go to Consort Wan's place today?" Empress Dowager Jiang threw down a chess piece.
"Yes, His Majesty also bestowed a reward upon Consort Wan," Pengyue said.
"Oh, this Consort Wan is quite formidable."
“Your Majesty, Consort Fanghui is the same. It’s a good thing that the two of them are joining forces now,” Pengyue said.
Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and said, "It's a good thing. The people in Feiluan Palace must be worried sick."
"It's easy to imagine how miserable she must be," Pengyue said.
"Then the Crown Prince has left the city. Heh, in a few days, he'll inevitably be summoned by censors again. The Crown Prince can't stand being wronged," Empress Dowager Jiang said calmly.
"His Majesty is too impatient. He talks about legitimate and illegitimate children, but he himself is also an illegitimate child." Pengyue snorted, "His Majesty is too impatient to maintain appearances. Now he can't even have a proper conversation with the Empress. If this continues... who knows what the Ye family will do."
Empress Dowager Jiang paused, then said, "You're right."
"In the past, we only looked at the outside. We forgot about what was inside. You tell me..." Empress Dowager Jiang suddenly laughed sarcastically, "Do you think the younger one wants the older one to die?"
“Well…though…I’m afraid he wouldn’t dare to do something so outrageous,” Pengyue said.
"Treasonous? It's only treasonous if it gets discovered. If it doesn't get discovered, then there's nothing at all," Empress Dowager Jiang sneered. "I want to live a long life and see this grand spectacle."
"Your Majesty is in good health, please don't say such things." Pengyue smiled and helped her wash up and go to bed.
The next morning, the head of the main courtyard paid his respects.
Yan Nangui was a bit sleepy. She hadn't been too badly awake last night, but that person woke up early this morning and kept her up for a long time.
She slept much less.
"Didn't Yan Liangyuan sleep well last night?" Ye Liangdi asked, eager to start a fight.
After asking the question, she went to see Xiao Liangyuan.
Xiao Liangyuan seemed to have calmed down, so she smiled and said, "It's normal for Sister Yan to have trouble sleeping now that Your Highness is gone. If Your Highness came to my place, I would be so happy that I couldn't sleep either."
Yan Nangui glanced at her indifferently: "It's more than just joy. What else do you want to know, sister? I've already told you."
Xiao Liangyuan paused for a moment: "Sister is joking."
“My sisters are all very witty and talkative, but I’m really not good with words. Sister Yan is still the most eloquent of them all,” said Murong Liangyuan.
"It's all thanks to the support of my sisters," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "We're all sisters from the same household. Seeing how well you all get along, I'm relieved."
Everyone's lying through their teeth anyway. If you say you get along well, then you get along well.
In the front yard, Ding Min said, "The Prince of Nan'an is getting restless! Does he want to rebel?"
“He’s probably been saving up for decades, and he’s probably not willing to give up,” Wei Xiao said.
Before Shu Chengfeng was a letter, naturally from a secret agent.
The letter was messy; it was essentially a family letter.
However, there is a saying that my uncle's family raised a flock of white geese, but they were accidentally released into the mountains and forests, where they were scattered and difficult to find.
