"Oh? So this Miss A'luo is indeed an old acquaintance of Your Highness? Your Highness's appearance is truly a curse. Look at the way Miss A'luo looks at me, it's really not friendly," Yan Nangui sneered.
"Tang'er is really naughty, why are you still testing her?" Shu Chengfeng pinched her chin as if punishing her.
"Hmm, so that's how it is?" Yan Nangui pulled his hand down and played with it in his hand: "Your Highness's plan is ingenious."
"Is this considered a brilliant layout?" Shu Chengfeng laughed. "Then how does it compare to Tang'er's layout in the Meng family?"
“Then I admit I cannot compare to Your Highness. Speaking of the Meng family… which family will the Seventh Prince’s future principal wife be from? By the way, the Seventh Prince is already sixteen years old,” Yan Nangui said.
“It doesn’t matter whose family it is, as long as it’s not the Yan family, Tang’er, are you feeling much more at ease?” Shu Chengfeng said.
"Actually, even if it's the Yan family, it doesn't matter, since Your Highness is here. It's just that I don't want to call them Ruyi. If one of my sisters marries a prince and becomes his principal wife, when I see them in the future, should I pay my respects or not?"
Shu Chengfeng laughed again: "Since you've thought of everything so thoroughly, then in the future, you'll have a younger sister. If she also wants to marry into the royal family, I'll stop her for you."
"Thank you, Your Highness." However, Yan Nangui was thinking, "Where can I wait until then?"
She won't be able to tolerate it for long.
How could she not teach her youngest daughter, whom the eldest princess favored, a lesson?
She treated the original owner of this body maliciously and slowly when she was very young, so this is just a matter of repaying her debt.
Back at his residence, Shu Chengfeng did not visit her again.
The wild geese returned south happily, so they went back to rest.
After washing up, Shu Chengfeng didn't sleep for a while: "How is it?"
"They say the Seventh Prince and A'Luo have arranged to meet tomorrow at noon," Yun Ji said.
“Yes, she knows what to do,” Shu Chengfeng said.
Yun Ji agreed, and seeing that His Highness remained silent for a moment, he stood and waited.
"Check where she made the arrangements."
Yun Ji didn't react for a moment: "Huh? A Luo?"
"Tsk." Shu Chengfeng frowned.
Yun Ji immediately understood: "Oh, oh, oh, I understand."
"You really know?" Shu Chengfeng raised an eyebrow at him.
"I know, I know, Yan Liangyuan, huh?" Goodness, this Yan Liangyuan is really something? Setting things up everywhere?
"Forget it, stop investigating. Go and rest." Shu Chengfeng waved his hand again.
Well, since it's interesting, let's not investigate too thoroughly and take it slow.
The next morning, when Yan Nan returned to the main courtyard, Ye Liangdi was also released.
They've finally been released.
Having fallen into such a deep pit this time, she is clearly still somewhat afraid in the short term.
At least she didn't say anything when Yan Nan returned late, she just gave him a few more unfriendly glances.
The Crown Princess had just temporarily cooperated with Yan Nangui and didn't say anything.
Yan Nangui, however, took the initiative to admit his mistake.
As for Consort Su, she was the kind of person who was understanding and considerate, so naturally she wouldn't say anything.
Luo Liangyuan had just given her a hint, but she didn't say anything.
If they don't speak up, who among the subordinates would dare?
After all, the brainless Ding Zhaoxun hasn't even emerged from seclusion yet.
So, this greeting can be considered to have passed peacefully.
It's just a formality.
Yan Nangui went back to sleep. Winter is already a time of sleep deprivation, and this late night only exacerbated the problem.
Yes, in ancient times, this would be considered staying up all night.
Every year at the end of the year, some neighboring small countries, especially those in the Western Regions and Mengzhu in the east, would come to the capital to pay tribute. While called tribute, it was really just a way of exchanging local specialties for rewards.
So every year around this time, some fresh goods are bestowed as a reward.
Mengju is a place that produces gold and spices. Many precious spices come from Mengju.
Therefore, the spices allocated each year became a hot commodity in the backyard.
The best things are not available to everyone.
Especially a spice called "Drunken Beauty".
This year, surprisingly, some geese have migrated south.
She almost fainted after just one sniff; it was too strong.
"I've packed it up, I'll give it to my aunt later." Who knows, maybe she'll like it?
Chanyi didn't dare to hesitate and quickly put it away.
Jiang Xiang smiled and said, "You may not like the smell of this Drunken Beauty, but I've heard that the wet nurses in the palace all like it. The Crown Princess in our household also likes it."
"Tsk, isn't it a waste to give it to me? Let me see what other fragrances I have."
There were seven or eight other scents, which she smelled one by one, but in the end only the scent of dewy sandalwood suited her taste.
A faint scent of grass mixed with floral fragrance, not strong but lingering.
"Keep this one, and send the rest to your aunt. Take some other things too," Yan Nangui said.
“Yes, this is agarwood, which is quite a rare item. However… the ladies in the palace find the scent too weak, so they don’t like it,” Jiang Xiang said.
Yan Nangui smiled knowingly.
The reason it seems too faint is because wet nurses use incense for others to smell, so naturally, it's ineffective if it's too faint.
But she liked it because it was for herself, so naturally she didn't care.
She applied some scented balm to her wrists, and soon the faint fragrance wafted out, almost imperceptible, yet remarkably refreshing.
"Who in our backyard has gotten that beauty?" She didn't like it, but she still needed to know the going rate.
“Reporting to Lady Liang, there are four boxes in the main courtyard. One for Lady Ye, one for Lady Su, one for you, and one for Lady Xia. That’s all,” Jiangxiang said.
"And these jewelry pieces too, there are two sets in the main courtyard, one set each for the two concubines, one set for you, and a few pieces for Consort Luo, but they don't make a set. Consort Xia also has a few pieces."
"Tsk." Yan Nangui shook his head.
Is Shu Chengfeng trying to anger his cousin to death?
This incense is precious, so the Crown Princess had four boxes, but she only had one? One box is one thing, but there's another concubine below her who also has one box?
Tsk.
As expected, in Wenyue Pavilion, Consort Ye smashed teacups all over the floor again...
"My lady, please calm down," Liu Ying said dryly. "You don't lack that..."
"What do you know?" Ye Liangdi slapped him across the face.
After getting used to hitting people, she now finds herself getting annoyed just looking at fireflies.
Liu Ying knelt down, not daring to speak.
Yuehua hurriedly came to persuade her: "Liangdi, please calm down. It is only right that the Crown Princess has more. After all, His Highness needs the Ning family."
"It's one thing for her to have more, but what about Yan Shi? And what about Xia Shi?" Ye Liangdi just didn't like that, as the Crown Prince's cousin, she couldn't have any special treatment.
"My lady, please calm down. After all, the Yan family has General Yan behind them, so they are naturally an aid to our prince. It's just a box of spices; she'll get her share. As for the Xia family, she's just a plaything. If you're unhappy, you can deal with her yourself. Why get angry over her? If His Highness finds out, won't he say you're not magnanimous enough?"
Yuehua whispered, "Consort, you can't be a consort forever. What will your future be like when His Highness inherits the throne? You need to be more composed and control your temper."
