The Murong family is a model of scholars throughout the land.
He may not be conspicuous now, but once he enters the palace, he will be a force to be reckoned with.
Yan Nangui laughed as she thought about it: "Tell me, how difficult is it to be the Crown Princess? You can hardly sleep well every night."
Being a crown princess who can't have children is especially difficult.
Jiang Xiang smiled and said, "This Lady Murong is quite capable; she only spoke up after three months."
It's not uncommon for many people to only speak up after they've been sitting comfortably for three months.
Even if you wait until three months have passed before speaking out, you won't be openly blamed.
"Hehe, this manor is quite lively." Yan Nangui suddenly said, "You think Su Liangdi will be rewarded after managing the household for so long? His Highness should go, right? Now that Murong is pregnant, His Highness can't not go either. Poor Xia Zhaoxun, who is heavily pregnant."
No matter how you look at it, she should be placed in the back row, right?
That evening, many people were watching to see where His Highness would go first.
At least the geese are watching from the south. They're so curious!
As a result, Shu Chengfeng still went to Consort Su's place. It seems that Consort Su's hard work over the past month has been recognized by His Highness.
I don't know what others think, but Yan Nangui slept soundly, completely satisfied.
Upon waking up early in the morning, I first heard that Consort Su had received a reward.
It seems His Highness's satisfaction is more than just a little.
The main courtyard pays its respects; today, the entire courtyard is exceptionally full.
Because Kim Bong-ui also appeared.
She must have had a bad postpartum period, because she lost a lot of weight, but she still looks to be in good spirits.
After everyone paid their respects to the Crown Princess, they took their seats. Yan Nan Gui didn't arrive early today; basically, the Crown Princess came out as soon as Yan Nan Gui arrived.
Ye Liangdi didn't look too good, as she hadn't been able to participate in the earlier events. Su Liangdi was drinking tea, and it was clear that the two of them were bickering.
After the Crown Princess took her seat, she asked everyone to sit down and then began asking questions, including those who had children or were pregnant.
As the matriarch, it's perfectly understandable for her to show concern.
Murong Liangyuan looked full of energy and showed no signs of the discomfort that comes with pregnancy, so she probably wasn't nauseous.
He has a good physical condition.
The Crown Princess naturally had to ask her specifically: "Sister Murong, this is good. There are few children in your household. It would be nice to give His Highness a son or daughter. We would all be happy."
"I didn't say so before because I wasn't sure. My period has always been unpredictable... Please don't blame me, Your Majesty." This was a way of smoothing things over.
Even if it's not allowed, if they don't come for three months, you'll know something's wrong.
The Crown Princess did not pursue the matter, and it was left at that.
When Kim Bong-yi watched the wild geese return south, she was somewhat afraid.
She didn't dare to say much, but because she didn't say much, some people wanted to drag her down with them.
Xiao Liangyuan said, "This is Consort Jin? I heard you used to be a dancer? You are quite fortunate to have given birth to two imperial grandsons. You've finally reaped the rewards of your hard work."
Kim Bong-yi took a deep breath: "Thank you, Ms. Xiao."
Yan Nangui sneered: "Where did that argumentative spirit go? If you really refused to be humiliated, I might have thought more highly of you. What? Is it because His Highness isn't here that you've lost your backbone?"
Jin Fengyi felt very upset, both angry and aggrieved, but she still said, "Yan Liangyuan's reprimand is very correct. I was ignorant before, but I have reflected on my mistakes recently and I do know that I was wrong."
Yan Nangui smiled again. When the enemy can be patient, then there's no point in talking about anything.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liangyuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Why is Jin Fengyi so afraid of Sister Yan? Could it be that Sister Yan has also frightened you?"
This is where it's used in a very interesting way.
It's a pity, would Kim Bong-ui dare to say it?
“Consort Xiao, you misunderstand. I am merely a lowly concubine. I must listen to what my elder sisters say.”
The Crown Princess, upon hearing this, simply said, "Take good care of the Second Prince. If you don't, I won't forgive you."
Kim Bong-yi hurriedly agreed, her heart filled with sorrow.
Even though it's my own child, I still have to hear other people say those things about it.
After paying their respects, they each went their separate ways.
Inside the Moon-Viewing Pavilion, Ye Liangdi remained silent for a while before saying, "My aunt always tells me to stay calm. When I saw that Xiao family today, I think I understood something."
Aunt Lu was extremely pleased: "Xiao Liangyuan is arrogant, but I'm afraid she'll suffer a lot in the future."
“I don’t know she suffered a loss, I just saw how she was… I used to be like that too?” Ye Liangdi sighed: “That’s not good.”
“How could you be like that? You are, after all, a daughter of the Ye family. You are different.” Aunt Lu said with a smile.
Ye Liangdi smiled and said, "I also want to have children."
"Don't worry, it will happen eventually. The more Your Highness has, the more you will have. Once you give birth to a son, the Ye family will give up."
Ye Liangdi touched her belly and said nothing more.
Even someone who isn't smart knows that getting pregnant and having a child is something you can't ask for.
Back in the capital, Shu Chengfeng naturally became busy.
Those who are required to attend court must attend, and those who are required to govern cannot shirk their duties.
Compared to matters of the inner palace and the inner court, matters of the court are more important.
Inside the cabinet, the Crown Prince and the Duke of Ye sat facing each other.
They don't see each other often in private, but they see each other more often in the cabinet.
Seeing that they had something to say, Yunji withdrew. Since he had left, the other eunuchs naturally did not dare to stay.
For a moment, only two people remained in the room.
"Is Your Highness's injury any better?"
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I'm much better, though there's still some redness and swelling. It should be completely healed in a while. How is Grandma's leg? Did she take the tonics I sent?" Shu Chengfeng asked.
"Thank you, Your Highness. She's all better now. It was just an old ailment of hers; she just needs to be careful," Duke Ye said with a smile.
"That's good. Grandpa and Grandma are getting old, they should take good care of their health," Shu Chengfeng said.
"Yes. We can handle anything, but we are worried about His Highness," sighed Duke Ye.
"When we heard that His Highness had been assassinated, the entire Ye family was extremely worried. Fortunately, His Highness is unharmed," said Duke Ye.
"I'm sorry to have startled you."
"No, no, but there's still no news about the assassin... Your Highness must be careful," said Duke Ye.
"Assassins always leave a trace. But for now, I'm not concerned about that. You did hear the message I sent to my grandfather a few days ago. The Prince of Nan'an certainly has some ideas," Shu Chengfeng said.
"Yes, he has always been ambitious, and he has quietly grown powerful. Your Highness must be careful. However, we cannot allow him to continue like this; he will become a threat sooner or later. What do you think, Your Highness?" Duke Ye probed.
"Well, of course we can't indulge them, but there's no rush. We need a foolproof plan." Shu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Grandpa, there's no need to worry."
Duke Ye couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he could only respond with a few words.
On the way back to his residence, Duke Ye sat in the carriage and wondered if the Third Prince's involvement with the Prince of Nan'an was a spur-of-the-moment decision, or if it had been planned all along.
Does he even know about these things?
