"However, Tang'er has quite a lot to thank me for. Now that Tang'er knows that Ruyi Pavilion is her aunt's property, I'm sure everyone in the capital knows about it," Shu Chengfeng said with a smile.
As for how I know, is there even a need to ask?
“Others kill two birds with one stone, but Your Highness only throws one stone and kills a whole flock of birds. I am truly ashamed of myself,” Yan Nangui said with a smile.
"It's just a small matter." It's nothing serious, just something to have some fun with.
If he's going to rely on these petty tricks to secure his position as crown prince, he might as well just depose himself as soon as possible.
Yan Nangui naturally knew this.
However, it's quite interesting that the Seventh Prince had someone else switch hands during his attack.
As Yan Nangui had imagined, the Seventh Prince was initially a little uneasy after learning that Ruyi Pavilion belonged to Princess Rongning.
He scolded his subordinates for not doing their jobs well.
But then he thought, since his aunt had taken a liking to the twelfth prince, he didn't care anymore.
But now that Madam Zou knows all this, how could she believe that this was just the Seventh Prince's revenge?
She firmly believed that the eldest princess knew about this matter and even interfered.
After all, if her daughter marries a prince, wouldn't she be able to sit on equal footing with the eldest princess?
The matriarch of the Yan family turned a blind eye and allowed her two daughters-in-law to distrust each other.
As for her disfigured granddaughter, she merely sent an old woman to take a look and deliver some ineffective tonics.
Yan Nangui was in a great mood. After dinner, she took Shu Chengfeng out for a stroll.
The lights in the garden have already been turned on, and although it's not the actual day yet, it's already starting to look nice.
Seeing her like this, Shu Chengfeng felt quite pleased.
This woman...
It would be enough to get revenge on her family for her; it's that simple.
When Shu Chengfeng was with her, he didn't need to pretend to be a saint. In just two short months, the two of them had figured out half of each other's personalities.
At least they both knew that the other was not a kind person.
That's good.
As the saying goes, the garden is a battlefield, and there's some truth to that, because they encountered Lady Ye...
Just by looking at Ye Liangdi's attire, you can tell how deliberate this "chance encounter" was.
She was wearing a pale yellow dress, her hair was tied up high, a red gold pendant hung on her forehead, and she had drawn her eyebrows and applied rouge.
Of course, this one is also a beauty.
Isn't this a bit too deliberate? Who makes such a big fuss just to stroll around a park?
However, what they said was, "My cousin is here too. I just came out to look at the lanterns. I was thinking that we won't be able to see them when we go to the palace tomorrow. If we come the day after tomorrow, it just won't feel the same."
"Greetings to Consort Ye." Yan Nangui smiled; this woman's ability to lie through her teeth was truly remarkable.
"No need for formalities. Consort Yan has worked hard serving my cousin." Consort Ye's words carried a hint of disdain from a mistress towards her concubine.
Yan Nangui would be a fool to hold back: "Consort Ye, you're too kind. We are both concubines, and serving His Highness is still our duty. I wouldn't dare say it's hard work."
Being reasonable and well-founded is just hurtful.
You should know that what Ye Liangdi hated most was her status as a concubine.
From a young age, she was proud and arrogant. Although she admired her cousin, she was unwilling to be suppressed by Ning Shi. She always believed that once her cousin ascended the throne, Ning Shi would be useless, and she would eventually become the legitimate wife!
That's why she can't stand being called a concubine, especially when it's said by Yan Nangui. What is she anyway?
She's just a used-up woman who's been married twice!
"Hmph, you certainly have a sharp tongue." Ye Liangdi didn't dare say much in front of Shu Chengfeng, but she made a mental note of it.
Yan Nangui smiled sweetly at her, then turned to look at Shu Chengfeng: "Your Highness, are you tired from walking? Shall we go back?"
Shu Chengfeng, who hadn't spoken before, nodded and said, "Let's go back then. Yue'er, take another look. We'll be going now."
Having said that, he left with Yan Nangui.
Ye Liangdi called out "Cousin" with a mixture of annoyance and anticipation.
Shu Chengfeng simply said without turning his head, "I'll visit you another day."
Another day, another day, forever another day! He hasn't come since Grandmother's birthday!
"What's so good about these geese flying south?" Ye Liangdi stomped her feet in anger.
Once back, Liu Ying had already returned to her former self, and Yue Hua couldn't suppress her for the time being.
Despite all her flaws, Ye Liangdi had one redeeming quality: she listened to her mother. And now she had indeed accepted Liuying back into her life.
She just didn't know that a broken mirror can never be mended.
“Don’t be angry, Consort Liang. It doesn’t matter whether Consort Yan is favored or not. What’s most important for you is to see what happens to the main wife. If the main wife gives birth to a son, you will be at a disadvantage,” Liu Ying said.
Ye Liangdi gritted her teeth: "I know! That vicious woman Ning actually has a child! But no matter how you look at it, it's Mr. Ning Chenghui. It's possible that Luo Liangyuan will give birth before her."
"That's good too. It's best if her child isn't the eldest son," Liu Ying said with a smile.
Ye Liangdi snorted and led her people back.
On the other side, as soon as Yan Nangui and Shu Chengfeng entered the room, Shu Chengfeng pressed her against the door: "Since Tang'er has told someone she would serve you, shouldn't she fulfill that promise?"
Yan Nangui smiled and hugged his neck: "Your Highness is really anxious, how could I not recognize you? At this moment, your appearance has shocked me so much that I can't walk anymore..." Yan Nangui said coquettishly.
Shu Chengfeng lifted her chin and bit her delicate, small chin.
Then I picked her up horizontally and carried her inside.
In the main courtyard, the maids told these jokes to the Crown Princess.
She laughed for a moment: "Why bother, Lady Ye? You're just making a fool of yourself."
With so many people serving in the garden, the news couldn't be kept secret.
The Crown Princess wasn't laughing at the fact that Consort Ye was rejected by Consort Yan. She was laughing at the failed attempt to steal the prize.
It's worth noting that while Ye Liangdi has many flaws, she has never actually tried to steal someone else's job...
"You only remember your cousin all day long, but you don't remember that he is His Highness." Madam He sneered, "In my opinion, His Highness himself doesn't like her calling him that. She doesn't know the difference between superior and inferior."
"That's all she can think about. One Consort Ye is really not a threat, but the Ye family is deeply rooted and powerful." The Crown Princess sneered.
"Don't worry, it won't matter once you give birth to a legitimate son," Madam He said with a smile.
"Even if the Empress was biased at that time, there was nothing that could be done."
The Crown Princess nodded, naturally thinking the same thing.
Inside Jiyue Pavilion, the bed was in disarray. Two people lay there, drenched in sweat.
Yan Nangui, tired and languid, gently poked Shu Chengfeng's calf with her toe.
Shu Chengfeng embraced her and kissed her earlobe before calling someone in to change her clothes.
The geese returning south basically had to get up, but they had to wash up first, otherwise they would have fallen asleep peacefully.
They were tired, but they were all very happy just now.
Shu Chengfeng was even more satisfied; this woman was just to his liking.
Compared to outwitting Yan Nangui, my cousin, who only cares about love and can only act cute...
The difference in skill is immediately apparent.
