"I don't have any special skills, so I can't ask you to take away any clothes or sachets I made, nor can I prepare any food for you. This is just a farewell. I'll come back to pick you up." Yan Nangui smiled and tiptoed to kiss him.
He then put his arm around her waist: "So obedient?"
"I'm not happy to behave, but at least you're the only one in my heart." Yan Nangui tilted her head.
"I thought you came to ask me to take care of your older brother," Shu Chengfeng said.
"Tch! You act like you care about me so much. Aren't they more experienced than you? It's more like he should be taking care of you. Do you think I'm that heartless? Ever since you came into the manor, you've been so good to me, I've noticed it all," Yan Nangui said.
Shu Chengfeng smiled slightly, which meant he accepted the explanation.
Ding Min called out from outside, "Your Highness, it's almost time."
Yan Nangui sighed, "It's a pity I've never put a helmet on anyone before, so I don't dare to do it for fear of hurting you."
Shu Chengfeng smiled and put it on himself.
"Let's go." He took her hand and led her outside.
The servants in the front courtyard all knelt down: "Your Highness, we respectfully see you off and wish you a speedy triumphant return."
Yan Nan Gui did not kneel down; she simply followed the others to the outside of the mansion. Standing on the steps, she said, "This concubine awaits Your Highness's return."
Shu Chengfeng touched her face without saying anything.
He dismounted, mounted his horse, and glanced once more at the man carrying the lantern.
She stood there, her beautiful features somewhat indistinct.
He didn't say anything more, just pulled on the reins and walked away.
Yan Nangui stood there for a long time, until the last person in the line could no longer be seen.
Eunuch Liu said cautiously, "My lady, it's still early. It's a bit chilly at this time. His Highness wouldn't want you to be like this. He will surely return in triumph."
“Eunuch Liu is right.” Yan Nangui sighed, “I’ll go back now.”
Eunuch Liu hurriedly said, "This servant will escort you."
Yan Nangui didn't say anything bad, so she let Eunuch Liu send her back to Jiyue Pavilion.
With all that back and forth, time just flew by.
It wasn't time to send out invitations yet, and Yan Nangui was asleep but would have to get up soon. So, they simply ordered the meal to be served.
The kitchen staff was clever; they were just worried someone would get up early today, and sure enough, someone did.
After having breakfast, she felt sleepy, but she couldn't sleep because she had to go pay her respects. With a sigh, she washed her face and set off.
By this time, everyone in the main courtyard naturally knew that she had gone to the front courtyard.
Ye Liangdi was the first to retort: "His Highness said no one is allowed to send gifts, but you're different! None of us are going, but you're the only one who's going, right?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I only asked Your Highness to send a letter to my elder brother. I didn't expect this yesterday." Yan Nangui lied again.
The Crown Princess nodded, saying nothing, but she didn't seem particularly happy either.
Ye Liangdi glared angrily at Yan Nangui.
Yan Nangui was mainly sleepy at the moment, so sleepy that she was a little irritable: "I was wrong, Lady Ye is very magnanimous, please don't hold it against me."
This is...
Did Yan admit she was wrong?
Ye Liangdi was stunned for a moment.
That concludes this morning greeting.
Of course, the wild geese returning south go straight to sleep.
In the main courtyard, the Crown Princess gave instructions on what needed to be done, and Lady He advised, "Don't be angry about what happened this morning, it's not worth it."
"Why should I be angry? I'm willing to be. That Yan Shi is such a smart and calm person. It turns out she's become foolish when she falls in love. I'm happy," the Crown Princess said calmly.
Mrs. He smiled and thought to herself, "That's right."
What do you mean, "send a letter to your brother"? Who are you trying to fool?
Ye Liangdi said today that she didn't refute it.
In their eyes, Yan Nangui was heartbroken because His Highness had left.
Yan Nangui, now fully awake, felt refreshed and invigorated.
I was just hungry; I ate too early this morning.
After a full meal, there's no need for an afternoon nap.
Jiangxiang had also rested for a while in the morning, and was quite energetic now: "I saw that they were very angry this morning."
"People sometimes make silly mistakes," Yan Nangui said.
Jiangxiang agreed and then dropped the matter.
Jiang Xiang is certainly clever; otherwise, she wouldn't have been recognized by Yan Nangui.
Even if she weren't smart, she wouldn't have been able to suppress Chanyi and Luokui.
So, being as clever as she was, she could naturally see the feelings her mistress had for the Crown Prince.
Maybe she likes him, but she's never the type to revolve around someone just because she likes them.
Truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth, His Highness the Crown Prince has never been able to distinguish between them.
She herself didn't even need to distinguish; she simply wouldn't give away her true feelings.
To outsiders, what happened this morning was that she disregarded the rules to deliver the gift because she liked it.
Reluctant to part.
Is that really the case?
no.
Liangyuan is someone who values rules extremely highly, yet also someone who doesn't value rules at all.
She was meticulous in front of the Crown Princess, always adhering to the rules and not allowing her to make any mistakes.
However, these rules crumbled in the face of His Highness the Crown Prince.
She knew very well that the Crown Prince could not possibly like a woman who was too proper and disciplined.
But she always manages to get it just right.
The reason she broke the rules today was because she couldn't bear to see her beloved off to war. So she decided to see him off regardless of the rules.
So, in His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes, was he angry that she broke the rules? Or was he moved?
She wore a light-colored dress, her hair casually tied up, and carried a lantern as she saw him off to war in the darkness.
As long as he has a heart, he will always remember.
What Jiangxiang admires most is not these things.
What she admired most was that Liangyuan also understood that His Highness was not a person who cared about romantic relationships, so she only sought to have a sense of presence, but did not ask His Highness to like her more.
Everything that needed to be done has been done. Does the misunderstanding with the woman in the backyard still matter?
Or rather, isn't it good to be misunderstood like this?
People who are always weak are pitied.
But when a person who is usually strong is vulnerable, it is even more touching.
In the morning, Liangyuan was not crying or wailing, nor was she worried about herself because he was leaving.
They didn't even say many words of concern.
Perhaps to outsiders, she was too quiet or too bad at speaking.
But Jiangxiang knew that this kind of virtuous woman was the one who truly won.
If Your Highness doesn't need much care, Your Highness certainly wouldn't like a tearful farewell.
His Highness wouldn't like a parasite who worries about not surviving as soon as he leaves.
Yan Liangyuan is none of these.
She simply broke a rule by seeing him off at the door. It was just like a typical ordinary family, where the wife sees her husband off.
They were just going out casually because they weren't worried that he wouldn't come back.
Yan Liangyuan felt the same way; she wasn't worried that he wouldn't come back.
Isn't that showing complete confidence in him? He'll sense it. Or maybe he won't, it doesn't matter. Many things don't need to be explained; just feeling it is enough.
It doesn't have to be Yan Liangyuan, it's just that someone else isn't her. That's enough.
There's always something about someone that makes you think more, or look at them more closely; it's hard to explain, isn't it?
Liangyuan will definitely go far and walk steadily. Whether or not she has children is not a big deal.
