Yan Nangui slept soundly until it was time for dinner.
When I got up, I saw a yard full of things.
She was too lazy to do her makeup, so she just let her hair down her back and started picking through the items.
There are indeed some good things, especially some fine jewelry, although they are set in jewelry, they can simply be removed.
Yan Nangui selected a bunch of books, including some rare and nice ones. He also bought some calligraphy and paintings.
Seeing that she knew her stuff and had chosen the best items, Shu Chengfeng smiled and told people to take the rest and distribute them to various places.
Of course, the main hospital had already sent it over; we couldn't let the main hospital pick up what she left over.
Shu Chengfeng whiled away the time here until the next morning when he went to court, which was quite a long time.
It wasn't until a few days later that Consort Xiao was able to meet His Highness the Crown Prince alone; she took the initiative to go to the front courtyard.
The fact that the Crown Prince returned to his residence clearly indicates that he had no intention of visiting her.
But in her heart, it must have been Yan Nangui who said something, otherwise it would have been her turn.
Shu Chengfeng had just returned to the manor when he saw her arrive, so he called her in.
After paying her respects, Consort Xiao said coquettishly, "I have been waiting for Your Highness for many days, but Your Highness has not come. I had no choice but to come by myself."
Shu Chengfeng picked up his teacup: "What is it?"
Her tone was not warm, and Consort Xiao's expression was unpleasant: "I miss Your Highness. Can't I come if there's nothing wrong?"
"Your Highness, could it be that Consort Yan said something...? I don't get along with her very well, but she's far too ruthless! Even if she were to punish me, how could she have beaten me so badly? And she did it herself." Consort Xiao frowned.
She herself has a flat nose, and when she frowns...
And she even had a cute, innocent frown...
Shu Chengfeng paused for a moment, then said, "You can go to the Crown Princess about these matters yourself. I won't interfere."
"Your Highness!" Consort Xiao stamped her foot.
"Alright, if you have something to say, just say it. If not, go back now. I'll come see you when I have time," Shu Chengfeng said, waving his hand.
Consort Xiao was taken aback and said incredulously, "Does Your Highness really not want to see me?"
"Xiao, there are rules in this household. I have many matters to attend to. This is not the time to see you," Shu Chengfeng said indifferently, with a hint of impatience.
Consort Xiao was still afraid, so she stood up and said, "I know I was wrong, I will take my leave."
After saying that, he walked away, turning back every few steps.
Shu Chengfeng already disliked this person who was forced upon him. He would have let it go if she had just gone out of politeness, or if she had been more obedient and well-behaved.
But once she entered the mansion, she started acting up, which made him dislike her even more.
It's fair to say that what he dislikes most is this kind of brainless, reckless person.
If Ye Liangdi weren't his cousin, she would have received the same treatment.
Speaking of this, I can't help but think of Yan Shi.
Yan Shi is also dramatic, and when she does, she's more dramatic than anyone else. But she makes it clear to you that she's going to be dramatic.
Besides, she's so smart. She's the kind of person who would never be annoying; in fact, you might even want to watch her act up.
At this very moment, Yan Nangui took out the jewelry he had collected a few days ago.
"Send these to the Imperial Household Department and tell them to take them outside and make new ones for me. Use these melted-down gold and silver pieces if they're still usable, otherwise replace them with new ones. Tell them I want something exquisite, beautiful, and fashionable. Something lightweight, so it doesn't weigh down my hair."
Shuanzi replied, "Liangyuan, would you like to weigh yourself?"
"No need, just remember roughly how many gems there are," Yan Nangui waved his hand.
Shuanzi responded and left.
Soon, the items were taken to the Imperial Household Department.
In the inner quarters, Eunuch Wu no longer had the same expression he had when he was dealing with Consort Xiao that day.
With a smile, she said, "Oh, don't worry, I'll make sure you get everything done perfectly for you, Liangyuan. Tomorrow, I'll go out myself and I won't have to worry about finding some nice ideas."
"This gold and silver is all old gold and silver. Although some wear and tear is inevitable, I will definitely have someone take good care of it," Eunuch Wu said with a smile.
Shuanzi responded with a few words and then left.
He was well aware that there was plenty of money to be made here, so there was no need to give any reward.
After Shuanzi left, Eunuch Wu stood up: "Look! Look! What do you call grand! Oh my, this thing... hahaha..."
The losses are unpredictable. How come this pile of stuff hasn't cost a hundred taels of silver in losses yet?
This is all gold! There are hardly any silver pieces. The gold-to-silver ratio is obviously much higher.
The loss of that gold, converted to silver, would likely amount to more than a hundred taels.
Eunuch Fan nodded repeatedly: "This man is truly generous. Isn't he bringing you money right now?"
"Look at what you're saying, they trust us. Why are they giving it to me? You think you're missing out on benefits?" Eunuch Wu chuckled. "That's why I'm always happy to serve them. Look at those who come empty-handed asking for things, the difference is obvious..."
Yan Nangui certainly wouldn't care about such a small thing.
It was originally given to her by Shu Chengfeng; since she entered the manor, she has never been stingy with herself when it comes to spending money.
It didn't cost much.
As the old saying goes, the more favored you are, the less money you need to spend. People will come rushing to serve you.
Spending this little bit of money is just for a more comfortable life in the future.
On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the Murong clan launched their attack.
Shu Chengfeng was not in the capital again. He went out in the second year of junior high school to conduct his annual inspection tour of the capital region.
This year, since the generals also returned in December, he left a few days earlier. This departure will last for about ten days.
Although Murong Liangyuan was a little scared, there was nothing she could do.
Fortunately, although the Crown Prince is not in the capital, he is not in the south either.
She conceived at night, and the Crown Princess had already left early.
The Crown Princess is going, and everyone else is going too. This can't be like when Xia Zhaoxun gave birth.
She is, after all, a respectable woman.
The Crown Princess ordered all officials below the rank of Consort Liang to leave.
Only these few were left to watch over.
After leaving Jiangyun Garden, Ning Chenghui didn't want to go back, but it was the twelfth lunar month. She took a deep breath and started walking back.
Hongdou whispered, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Ning Chenghui sighed. "I just... don't want to go back. Oh well, I'll go back anyway."
"You mean... you miss the eldest prince?" Hongdou sighed as well, "These days, the main courtyard is increasingly restricting our contact with him..."
They used to be able to meet frequently, but now the Crown Princess is becoming increasingly cautious.
"The Murong family has given birth to a son; I wonder what will happen then." Ning Chenghui smiled bitterly. "I... have a lot to worry about for him, but I..."
As a mother, she couldn't help but worry about her child, yet she couldn't even have contact with him.
Everything is beyond my control.
"Chenghui, please...please bear with it. It will get better eventually," Hongdou said.
Ning Chenghui looked up, took a deep breath of the biting cold air, and then walked back.
It will be alright, won't it?
But as time went on, what could she do but endure it?
There will always be opportunities; everything has a chance.
