Mr. Zhu sighed, "The arm is broken, but it can be healed. The main problem is that the girl fell at an unfortunate time; her face is also injured."
"That's pitiful. Are those scratches on your face? They can heal too." Shuanzi tried to get more information out of him.
Mr. Zhu smiled, a slightly helpless smile.
"Whip wounds never heal and will leave scars. Please, don't ask anymore."
Having learned what he wanted to know, Shuanzi happily went back home.
Yan Nangui shook his head after hearing this: "He can't hold his temper."
"Maybe it's because she was always called a princess before, so she must have some temper?" Chanyi said.
"Heh, is this how all princesses are?" She still remembered how the eldest princess had disciplined the servants of the Yan family back then.
"Perhaps," Chanyi smiled. "But it won't do us any harm. The more she refuses to get close to the servants in the manor, the more she'll suffer. Who in the manor is easy to get along with? If we run into any of them, they can make her suffer in silence."
Yan Nangui smiled and said, "Hey, what kind of bodhisattva am I? I was just making a remark. Hey, I slept pretty well last night, so I won't take a nap today. Tell the kitchen to make me something special for lunch. This is a separate courtyard, so don't eat like you would in the mansion. Make me some home-style dishes to try too."
"Oh, I'll go myself."
Chanyi agreed and went.
That trip led to trouble.
In this mansion, there was never a situation where the masters and servants were at odds.
Naturally, the Crown Prince's residence was no exception.
So the girl who bumped into Xiao Liangyuan was brought from Meng Haijiang.
That girl's Central Plains dialect was only so-so, but she had quite a temper.
They kept cursing the people in the kitchen.
Chanyi thought to herself, "This is absolutely brilliant."
She had just walked over and told the girl about Yan Nangui's request when the girl said sarcastically, "He's not exactly a noble person. What does he eat?"
Chanyi found it funny.
Seriously, it's genuinely funny.
Meng Haijiang has poor geographical conditions, and they eat the same few things all year round.
Although we have no shortage of meat all year round, what kind of cooking methods are used?
And what happened? She laughed at their Liangyuan?
I'm speechless. Liangyuan is such a thrifty person, how could she possibly eat like that?
Chanyi ignored her completely, not even giving her a glance.
Yatu was furious and grabbed Chanyi, saying, "I'm talking to you!"
Chanyi stumbled and grabbed a broom from the table—the kind made of millet stalks, used for sweeping tables and such.
That is, what people in northern China call a broom bristle.
He instantly flew into a rage and began to berate Yatu, yelling, "Who do you think you are? Just because you say something doesn't mean I have to listen to you! Do you think I understand your gibberish? What are you talking about?!"
Yatu was not a weak woman either; after all, it was not uncommon for women on the grasslands to be able to ride horses.
So he fought against Chanyi.
The kitchen staff were terrified and hurriedly pulled him away.
It goes without saying who the kitchen staff are on.
Although Xiao Liangyuan's people did give money when they came, the way they gave it was... well, let's just say it was a bit much.
She was extremely arrogant, throwing the silver around like she was giving alms to a beggar. She practically threw it on the ground.
These are people from the Crown Prince's residence. Even the lowest-ranking servants, like those who empty chamber pots, live better than outsiders.
Yes, money is a good thing, but if you're going to say that the cooks and eunuchs in a prince's residence would completely abandon their dignity and shame for such a small amount of money, then you're doomed.
So it was natural for them to side with Chanyi when trying to break up the fight.
Seeing this, Chanyi naturally slapped Tuya several times.
They didn't slap his face, they just slapped his body.
In the end, Tuya ran away in anger.
She went back and gave him a piece of her mind, causing a huge commotion in the house, but none of the maids in the mansion understood what she was saying.
The girl whose face she disfigured is still lying in the room.
At this moment, everyone else wished they could be a million miles away from her.
Enraged, Xiao Liangyuan stood up, intending to go find Yan Nangui, but hesitated for a while and ultimately didn't go.
She gave the order in Meng Haijiang's language: when Chanyi was alone, drag her over and give her a good beating.
The girls naturally agreed.
When Yan returned south, Chanyi apologized first, saying that she had acted impulsively regardless of the circumstances.
It's wrong for a girl to fight.
Yan Nangui smiled and said, "It's alright, get up. With this Xiao Shi around, Consort Ye should change."
My little cousin looks even cuter in comparison.
The main courtyard soon learned of this, but no one complained, and the Crown Princess naturally didn't care.
She listened as Su Jin said, "This Xiao Shi really doesn't know how to behave. She's only been in the manor for a few days, and she's already beaten up the head maid who was originally assigned to her. Now she's offended everyone in the kitchen."
"Heh, you've been a princess for over a decade, how can you be so stingy?" the Crown Princess asked with a smile.
"Who knows? Anyway, she's stingy. She doesn't trust anyone in the manor and only uses the four maids she brought with her. She's bound to suffer."
Are four people enough? Obviously not.
In particular, the four of you will be isolated, and become increasingly isolated.
In the end, you, along with these four people, are completely isolated.
Besides, although Ms. Xiao had a prestigious reputation, she didn't bring much money with her to the capital.
At least compared to Ye Liangdi and Yan Liangyuan, she was much more strapped for cash.
However, whether she ruined the maid's appearance or the maids fought each other, these were minor matters and not worth mentioning.
Shu Chengfeng in the front yard had something more important to do.
Officials in the court have been submitting memorials requesting that the Crown Prince return to the capital to attend court and govern.
It would be one thing if the Crown Prince was too badly injured to get up, but he was perfectly fine before, and he still showed up for Duanwu.
Then why do you keep living in the separate house?
This is the Crown Prince, not some insignificant prince.
The ministers naturally wondered if the Crown Prince was unhappy that His Majesty had previously instructed him to take a concubine with the rites due to a concubine of high rank.
Or...
Some officials even submitted a memorial requesting His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the assassination attempt on the Crown Prince.
Are you kidding me? The crown prince is injured, the crown prince of the entire country! And you just let it go like that?
Is that why the Crown Prince refused to return?
Regardless of the reasons, the Crown Prince is always the one who suffers injustice.
Who can blame them when there's His Majesty above them? While a half-ruler must be steady and mature, he is not without the right to be lively.
By the end of May, the Crown Prince had been at the villa for almost a month.
The memorials from court officials were almost flooding the Nanxun Hall, and some of the more extreme officials had even begun to question whether His Majesty was deliberately suppressing the Crown Prince.
The crown prince was ordered to stay away from court affairs.
Even if His Majesty thought about it a thousand times, he wouldn't dare say it even once.
Not every emperor has the ability to send his crown prince outside of court affairs without being criticized by censors.
After all, emperors like Emperor Taizong of Tang or Emperor Kangxi were few and far between.
You must have military achievements and the means and merits to make the world submit; otherwise, you have no right or qualification to exclude the crown prince.
