Such a thing cannot exist; it is an eyesore.
They didn't dare to tidy up just now, they were just waiting for His Highness to glance at them.
As soon as he entered, he caught Ye Liangdi coming out, having just straightened her clothes. Her eyes were already red from crying, and when she saw the Crown Prince, tears streamed down her face again, and she practically rushed over, crying, "Cousin!"
At that sound, everyone in the room frowned.
The Crown Princess especially disliked it; how much grievance had she suffered?
"What happened?" The person rushed over, and the crown prince would have fallen if he hadn't caught him, but he did catch him, and he began to frown.
"Your Highness, may you be well." The Crown Princess led everyone in paying their respects.
The crown prince waved his hand and immediately spotted Yan Nangui in the crowd.
She was dressed in a purple dress and had her hair in a high bun, looking very well-dressed, but a bloodstain on her cheek showed that she was in a bad mood.
When he arrived, Shu Chengfeng had already heard some of the details. He felt that Ye was being nosy and that Yan had a bad temper.
Looking over at this moment, Yan Nangui stepped forward without any difficulty: "Without saying a word, Consort Ye slapped me, injuring my face. I couldn't control my anger and slammed the teacup on her head."
To say it was unintentional or intentional is just a momentary outburst of anger.
There's no point in arguing.
I never expected her to be so straightforward.
Shu Chengfeng's lips twitched.
"Cousin, did you hear that? Waaah, she...she's gone mad! She hit me with a teacup! Waaah!" Ye Liangdi cried, gasping for breath.
Yan Nangui coldly replied, "Are you deaf? You only hear me hitting you, but you can't hear me saying you hit me first?"
"You! So what if I hit you! I just hit you!" Ye Liangdi was no longer afraid, only filled with anger.
"Alright! Sit down, everyone." Shu Chengfeng raised his voice and pushed Ye Liangdi, whom he was holding, back in front of Liu Ying.
Fireflies busily caught up with people.
Shu Chengfeng swung his hand forward and sat down in the main seat.
The Crown Princess sat down on the right and said, "Let's all sit down and talk."
After everyone expressed their gratitude, they sat down. Ye Liangdi was both angry and aggrieved, and she sat down and cried pitifully.
The Crown Princess was annoyed by the crying: "Alright, stop crying! Everything needs to be explained clearly. Why did you come here to hit someone first thing in the morning?"
Shu Chengfeng paused in his tea-serving hand, sighing inwardly, knowing that Ye Liangdi hadn't kept this a secret.
Sure enough, after wiping away her tears, Consort Ye said, "Last night I saw that His Highness had a deep bite mark on his shoulder. It was swollen quite a bit. It was Consort Yan who served him the day before yesterday. Who else could it be but her? I was furious. How dare she harm His Highness's body? Why can't I hit her?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Unless Ding Zhaoxun is there, who else would agree with her?
For a moment, no one spoke.
Yan Nangui simply couldn't be bothered with her.
The Crown Princess was a little embarrassed: "It's just a small matter..."
Before she could finish speaking, Consort Ye angrily retorted, "What small matter? Is damaging His Highness's body a small matter? He should be dragged out and beaten to death! What do you mean by protecting her like this, Crown Princess? Do you think His Highness's injury isn't a serious matter? And that I'm being unreasonable? What are you up to?"
The Crown Princess was also furious: "Ye Ziyue, I think you've lost your mind! Who do you want to beat to death? What injury? If it's an injury, wouldn't His Highness handle it? It's just a trivial matter. His Highness, a dignified man, is merely joking around with his concubines. It didn't cause any trouble in Jiyue Pavilion. Even I, as the mistress, don't care about such a thing. You, as a fellow concubine, what kind of trivial order do you have?"
"What were my intentions? What were my intentions? You want to turn a trivial matter into a huge mess, what were your intentions then?"
"You! You! You've lost your mind! You actually spoke up for her? You..." Ye Liangdi was genuinely unable to understand, and her face turned pale with anger.
"Go back and confine yourself! Confined for a month, and fined three months' wages. If you don't realize your mistake, I'll punish you even more severely than the Empress would." The Crown Princess's eyebrows furrowed, showing no mercy whatsoever.
It's hard to say whether she took the opportunity to seek revenge or suppress others, but her behavior at this moment was the most appropriate.
The Crown Prince's physical injury is certainly a serious matter, but it depends on the circumstances.
If it's a knife wound or some other kind of injury, then it shouldn't be taken lightly; even a bite...
It's a shame that Ye Liangdi has the nerve to make such a fuss.
That was clearly a matter of the bedroom. If the Crown Prince really cared, would Consort Yan still be sitting here so calmly?
"Cousin!" Ye Liangdi cried out in anger again.
"Ye Shi." Shu Chengfeng put down his teacup. "I've never been one to meddle in matters of the inner court. The Crown Princess is virtuous, and the steward has always managed things exceptionally well. This time, you've caused such a commotion, so you should still be subject to the Crown Princess's discipline. This punishment is not severe. You are from my maternal family, so you should set an example. If you cause trouble again, I should punish you more severely."
Before Ye Liangdi could say anything more, Liu Ying quickly pulled her back, saying that if she said anything more, she would be confined for more than a month...
Ye Liangdi felt her heart sink after hearing her cousin's words, her stomach churning with grievance: "I... I was just worried about you, I... Waaah, why am I the only one being punished for this? Am I... Just because I'm a member of the Ye family, does that mean I should be inferior to others?"
Yan Nangui stepped forward and said, "It is naturally wrong of me to lay a hand on someone of such high status. I only ask that Your Highness punish me. I have no objection. In addition, I did lose my sense of propriety when I was playing with Your Highness. I will definitely take this as a warning in the future."
The more nonchalant Tai's attitude was, the angrier Ye Liangdi became. She thought to herself, all she did was slap her, and she actually threw a teacup at her?
Two of them? What if they break on her head? What if the tea is scalding hot?
She was disfigured, wasn't she?
But at this moment, no one is thinking of her...
"Of course you were also at fault, but let's not dwell on the playful antics. His Highness is a grown man; I'm sure he doesn't care about such trivial matters. You'll know your limits in the future. Just consider today's incident. Ye Shi was impulsive and thoughtless, but why did you act so impulsively? You smashed a teacup; what if something serious had happened?" The Crown Princess looked at her, her expression also unpleasant.
"Yes, I accept the punishment, I know I was wrong." Yan Nangui's attitude remained calm.
The Crown Princess sighed again: "Since you're injured too, I won't punish you severely. You, you haven't finished with the punishment from last time. This time you'll continue to be fined, plus last time, for a total of three months. Then you'll have to copy ten scrolls of scripture to calm your mind. You'll also be confined for a month. You need to change your temper."
"Yes, Your Highness, thank you for your kindness." Yan Nangui curtsied.
Ye Liangdi's chest heaved with anger, but when Shu Chengfeng glanced at her sideways, she felt a sudden chill run through her body and dared not utter a single word.
"A month of confinement is fine, ten days will suffice. In April, I will accompany His Majesty on his northern tour, and I will take her with me." Shu Chengfeng looked at the Crown Princess.
"Yes, then ten days. While Your Highness is away, please give her a proper lesson. Forget about everything else, but can you handle her temper?" The Crown Princess shook her head.
