Among the beautiful women, there is more than just one wild goose returning south.
There's no way Su Liangdi would go; of course, she refused without any hesitation, without even giving a reason.
Since Consort Luo has clearly pledged allegiance to the Crown Princess, she absolutely cannot come at this time; she should simply say she's not feeling well. After all, she's pregnant.
Ning Chenghui is a member of the Ning family. If he were to come now, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the Crown Princess? Naturally, he made an excuse that he was unwell.
Yan Liangyuan directly said that she felt weak all over and her legs were limp...
Ye Liangdi's face turned green.
There were only a few people left, but Ding Zhaoxun, who had just recovered, was impatient. She didn't care how Ye Liangdi had bullied her in the past.
"What are you saying, Consort Yan? It's just that His Highness stayed overnight last night! You are shameless."
Ye Liangdi naturally liked to hear this, and she snorted: "If other people don't come, fine, but they're all pregnant. Is she pregnant too? Go and invite them again!"
Yuehua frowned, thinking to herself, "Why bother?"
I was just too scared, but I went anyway.
How much higher is a Liangdi than a Liangyuan? Besides, the Yan family is no ordinary family.
Inside Jiyue Pavilion, Yan Nangui hadn't expected that she could call for more people...
I was speechless for a moment.
"Who's here? Let them in."
A short while later, Yuehua entered and said, "Greetings, Consort Yan."
"What's wrong with your concubines? We're all the same people, why are you so eager to call me over? His Highness and the Crown Princess haven't said anything, so why are you in such a hurry? Go back and tell your concubines that they don't need to call me for anything. If His Highness and the Crown Princess have any orders, I will naturally not refuse. As for other matters, they are none of my concern."
Yuehua could only agree, thinking to herself that this person was also stubborn.
When Yuehua returned, she didn't dare to say it directly, but only mentioned it indirectly.
Ye Liangdi was furious: "How dare she! She's just a mere concubine, how dare she rebel?"
"Sister Ye, please don't be upset." Han Chenghui said with a smile, "If there's anything you need, just let me know."
Ye Liangdi snorted, knowing it was best not to cause a scene.
However, her purpose was to discuss matters concerning the manor with Consort Su, and since Consort Su refused to come, she couldn't force her to come.
What's the use of having only a few here now?
A wave of frustration washed over him: "Fine, I'm not in the mood to talk anymore. Go back now. Behave yourselves during this time. Don't cause any trouble, or I won't let you off the hook."
Although everyone agreed, they felt uneasy inside.
As expected, Ye Liangdi only picked on the weak and talked nonsense.
However, Yan Liangyuan, who was not particularly favored, did have a backbone.
In the main courtyard, after drinking the medicine, the Crown Princess sneered, "Fool, she can only manipulate those few in low positions."
"Yes, if it weren't for her frequent attempts to bully Consort Xia, I'm afraid even those of lower rank wouldn't have gone. She really has the nerve to invite Consort Yan twice; she looks down on Consort Yan, but Consort Yan doesn't give her any face," said Madam He.
"Anyone with a brain wouldn't get involved with her. What a piece of trash." The Crown Princess sneered and lay back down. "Just have someone keep an eye on her. Let's see what else she can do."
Nobody took Ye Liangdi's foolish act seriously.
In the evening, Consort Ye went to the front courtyard to see the Crown Prince, but he declined because he had something to do.
For several days in a row, she was unable to see anyone.
Even if they wanted a housekeeper, they couldn't seize the opportunity.
The Crown Princess's care has effectively protected Ning Chenghui, making it difficult for anyone to harm him now.
Even after the first month of the lunar calendar ended, the weather didn't warm up, and on the morning of the second day of the second lunar month, another snow fell.
Spring snow is the coldest, and the wild geese flying south catch a chill.
She was still weak and hadn't fully recovered when she caught a chill, and she really couldn't withstand it.
Then I started to have a fever.
Since Shu Chengfeng started getting busy, he hasn't been to the backyard for the past ten days or so.
At noon on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Nangui didn't have much of an appetite and didn't eat much. After waking up, she wanted to eat meat porridge.
Meat porridge is such an ordinary thing, she never expected that she wouldn't get it.
When Luo Kui returned, she knelt down with red eyes, saying, "This servant is incompetent..."
"What's wrong?" Yan Nangui was taking medicine, but her fever hadn't completely subsided, so she didn't have any strength.
"It's...it's Ye Liangdi's people. They said...they said we can't be given anything other than our meals. They're so domineering. I'm all alone...I'm powerless..." Luo Kui cried. She was still young, and although she was loyal, she was also a little afraid of Yan Nangui.
After all, when dealing with people on the estate, Yan Nangui was ruthless.
"Get up." Yan Nangui frowned. "I'll go myself! I want to see if this Ye family woman is really in charge here!"
"Please calm down, Lady Liangyuan." Chanyi hurriedly said, "You are ill, why bother arguing with her? I will go to the main courtyard and tell her."
“Yes, your health is the most important thing. The snow outside is still thick, and you’ve already caught a cold. Going there would only make you angry for nothing,” Jiangxiang hurriedly advised.
Yan Nangui was just acting on impulse; this Ye Liangdi's methods are truly despicable.
"Fine, go to the front yard. Get some silver and say I didn't eat lunch. I just want some meat porridge. It's not convenient to make it in the back yard, so ask the kitchen in the front yard to make some." Yan Nangui snorted.
Jiang Xiang went there on her own initiative.
The people in the front yard, upon hearing this, could hardly not understand what it meant.
Well, although there's no such rule, well... since we're already here, we'll just do it.
When Shu Chengfeng returned home in the evening, he learned about the matter.
"What happened?"
Eunuch Liu hurriedly said, "This servant asked, and it was Consort Ye who stopped the kitchen staff and ordered that Consort Yan not to be given anything other than her meals."
Shu Chengfeng took a deep breath: "Bring Song Erman from the back kitchen to me and give her thirty strokes of the cane. Replace her with Jiang Fu, the deputy head of the kitchen. From now on, Song Erman will be the head of the kitchen. Tell them that if they can't do things according to the rules, they should think twice. Send some tonics to Jiyuexuan. Tell her that I will go see her later."
"Yes." Eunuch Liu thought to himself, "Oh dear, Consort Yan is favored now. It seems I'll have to pay more attention to her in the future."
However, Yunji understands his prince best.
Your Highness is annoyed by the disorderly conduct in the inner quarters.
If Ye Liangdi can so easily stop the kitchen staff from doing things, what will happen if this precedent is set in stone?
Yan Liangyuan is absolutely amazing...
What Ye Liangdi did was not fair; it was just as unfair for her to come directly to the front yard to buy a bowl of porridge.
Well, does this mean that if a concubine can arbitrarily control the affairs of the kitchen in the backyard, then a concubine can come to the front yard to buy food?
Tsk.
However, such things happen frequently in the backyard; it just depends on whether you've run into them or not. This one clearly has.
Chef Song, who was punished with a cane and demoted, is now filled with regret!
Of course he knew the rules, but he got ten taels of silver!
He figured he could just pass the buck and let Liangdi and Liangyuan fight it out. He really didn't dare offend Liangdi Ye.
I never expected that Lady Ye would be so useless...
Now look what's happened! The difference between being in charge and being a deputy is huge. I really regret what I did back then.
Having received the reward, Yan Nangui's mood finally improved.
