Seeing that the woman's eyes were red, Shu Chengfeng quickly grabbed her hand: "Alright, alright, why are you acting like a child? You know everything, why are you making a fuss? I love you, I love you, mainly because I love you, not because of your father."
Yan Nangui asked, sounding aggrieved, "Really?"
"Really." Shu Chengfeng hugged her and patted her back. "Aren't you happy that you've vented your anger?"
“Now I’m happy,” Yan Nangui said.
Shu Chengfeng thought to himself, "You really know how to act cute."
"Let someone bring you some snacks. I'll keep you company once I finish what I'm doing," Shu Chengfeng said.
"No, I'm going back. You should get some rest as soon as you're done with your work." Yan Nangui stood up.
Shu Chengfeng didn't stop her; he simply had someone escort her out.
He is indeed very busy; he won't be able to go on tour this year if he doesn't finish his work.
Although it's only scheduled for March, there's still more than a month to go, but there's still a lot to do, especially in such a large dynasty like Dayan.
Yan Nangui returned home and immediately ordered someone to prepare hot water for a bath.
While bathing her, Jiangxiang washed her and said, "Now that Consort Huo is favored by the Empress Dowager, His Majesty is willing to go. Who knows what will happen in the future? His Majesty went to Consort Yi after she finished her confinement. As for Consort Rong, His Majesty hasn't gone yet."
Yan Nangui hummed in agreement, splashing water with his hand: "Those in high positions, His Majesty isn't interested in many things. But now, Consort Mei is favored. To me, it seems she's overshadowing Consort Wen?"
"Well... it's hard to say. After all, Consort Wen is already a Consort, and Consort Mei can't reach that level anytime soon, right?"
“It’s true that she can’t reach him, but I think that Consort Wen has spent much less time serving the emperor this year,” Luo Kui added.
"It's not uncommon for women in the harem to fall out of favor." Yan Nangui reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead. The water was hot, and she had gotten hot from washing.
After she finished washing and got dressed, the maids quickly added charcoal to the fire so she wouldn't catch a cold.
"Your Majesty, you rose to the position of Your Majesty from the position of Crown Prince, but being the Crown Prince's woman is different from being Your Majesty's woman."
“In the past, Consort Wen was gentle, quiet, and obedient. She would never complain even if she was wronged. She was very suitable.”
"Huh? Why? Is it not suitable now?" Luo Kui asked, puzzled.
“It’s still suitable now, but it’s not necessary anymore.” Yan Nangui smiled. “What was His Majesty’s situation before? Like the late Emperor… and all the princes were eyeing him covetously. How much of his attention was on the outside world? If the women in the harem weren’t causing any trouble, why would he bother to visit them?”
"Nowadays, Consort Shun and Consort Yi are both fiery-tempered, and they weren't particularly favored in the past. On the contrary, the quiet Consort Ning still has a chance to give birth to the eldest son."
"Now, His Majesty is His Majesty. Even if he can't do whatever he wants, at least the late Emperor isn't watching over him anymore. He's busy, but his mood is different from before." At least he doesn't have to worry about being found fault with at any time.
He wasn't afraid of anyone tampering with his backyard.
"Your Majesty has been on the throne for several years now, haven't you noticed? He's become much more willful. In the past, even if he was dissatisfied with the Empress, he wouldn't actually prevent her from bearing a legitimate son. Because that was the important time. Now..."
"Besides, a woman who is beautiful, gentle, sensible, obedient, and doesn't cause trouble—doesn't that sound wonderful? Everyone likes that. But who can like someone for long? If things don't change, it's inevitable that she will gradually fall out of favor."
"I see. What Your Highness said makes a lot of sense." Luo Kui nodded.
"The main problem is that His Majesty has too many choices. It would be best if each one had its own purpose. If all that's needed is to bear him children and keep him entertained, then which one in the harem wouldn't do?" Yan Nangui said with a smile.
"Therefore, you should calm down from the beginning. It is a blessing to be favored by His Majesty. If he does not favor you, it can only be said that you are unlucky."
Outside, Shuanzi and the others were kneeling, thinking to themselves, "Oh no, I hope His Majesty won't be angry."
Shu Chengfeng stood at the door listening, his face expressionless.
Inside the room, Luo Kui said, "As for the future... we'll talk about that later. His Majesty treats you very well now. He dotes on you."
"Then I must take advantage of His Majesty's continued favor to enjoy it as much as possible."
"I think you're just taking advantage of my favor to cause trouble!" Shu Chengfeng snorted and pushed the door open to enter.
Frightened, Jiangxiang and Luokui knelt down.
The people at the door didn't dare to get up.
"Being a demon is only possible because someone pampers you; others would only dream of it." Yan Nangui pouted.
"So you know that Consort Wen doesn't dare to do it?" Shu Chengfeng asked.
Yan Nangui wondered if they had heard everything. Even if they had, it didn't matter; she didn't say anything.
There's really no need to worry about her in this respect.
There was nothing she couldn't tell the emperor.
"What do we have here! The weather is so bad, and instead of coming to see me, Your Majesty has come to stand up for someone else! I just took a bath and I'm freezing, and Your Majesty just leaves me here with the door wide open. Are you trying to kill me? Your Majesty might as well strangle me yourself; it would be warmer to die in your arms." Yan Nangui stamped her foot.
Door……
Shu Chengfeng was speechless for a moment.
Yunji quickly closed the door behind him with his head down.
"Get up, everyone," Shu Chengfeng waved his hand.
People inside and outside the door hurriedly got up to serve him.
"I can't argue with your mouth. You hid in your room and talked badly about others, and I heard it. You still dare to blame me first?" Shu Chengfeng sneered and sat down.
"Say bad things? Someone as smart as me, if I wanted to say bad things, wouldn't I give my people a secret signal? Would you hear it? What? Are all those who serve His Majesty shrewd, and those who serve me fools? You're so petty!" Yan Nangui sneered.
"How dare you speak ill of me?" Shu Chengfeng became even angrier.
"I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat. Didn't you say the other day that the kitchen had cured meat? I haven't had it in a while, I want some. Do you want some?" Yan Nangui walked over and sat down next to him, her hair still wet, just casually drying it.
Shu Chengfeng...
If he were to still hold a grudge against this woman at this point, wouldn't that be inappropriate?
In any case, he had no intention of simply walking away at that moment.
"Your Majesty is so petty. What made you so angry? Did I lie? Or did I stir up trouble? I only said a few words to my maid, and you won't give her any food?" Yan Nangui pinched his arm.
Shu Chengfeng simply stopped talking and said, "Tell them to prepare the meal early."
He rushed over to see her after finishing his busy work, and at that moment he really couldn't describe his feelings.
It's likely that His Majesty has become numb after being stimulated twice in one day.
However, while staying there that night, Shu Chengfeng actually thought about quite a few things.
It has to be said that this woman does understand him to some extent.
She's the only one who dares to speak so frankly and isn't even a little guilty afterward.
By this time, he had finally come to his senses.
If she had been afraid and knelt down when she saw him suddenly appear during the day, things would not have turned out this way.
