"Yes. Her Majesty is naturally very magnanimous," the maid replied with a smile.
"She's just a concubine, and by all accounts, she should only be allowed to live in a pavilion. The fact that she's living in Jiyue Pavilion is quite an honor for her," Ning said indifferently.
In the Crown Prince's residence, only the main courtyard is called a "courtyard" in the backyard; other areas are not called courtyards.
Even the best residences come in different sizes. The two largest rooms on either side of the main courtyard are naturally occupied by two concubines.
Lady Ye stayed at Wenyue Pavilion, and Lady Su stayed at Wangchun Pavilion.
Now, Jiyuexuan has been given to the Yan family.
Then there's Yuan, which is slightly inferior to Xuan and also smaller.
Next is the pavilion.
According to the standards of a Liangyuan (a concubine rank), she should reside in the manor. However, Yan Shi is different. Her status is too low for a Liangyuan. If there were still two Liangdi (a concubine rank) positions available in the manor, she should be a Liangdi.
However, Ning would not say those words.
"Yes, once she enters the manor, I wonder what kind of trouble Consort Ye will cause." The maid smiled.
"Hmph. Let them make a scene. No matter how much they try, His Majesty hasn't made her the Crown Princess. The Ye family may want to, but it's no use," Ning sneered.
"Doesn't she like to fight? Fighting one Su woman wasn't enough, now she's adding another one, let's have a good fight. I've heard that this Yan woman is domineering, it'll be quite a show when things get out of hand."
The maid smiled ingratiatingly, thinking to herself, "Of course! Let them make a scene. In the end, they'll all have to bow down to the Crown Princess anyway."
On this same day, at Shuiyun Manor, Yan Nangui took a good shower. After all, she had just given birth and it was freezing cold, so she didn't dare to take a big bath.
It's been a full month now.
Luo Kui was gently rubbing her head.
"All of you have worked hard. Go back tomorrow. Please pass on a message to my aunt, telling her to rest assured and that we will meet again someday. I am not the same person I used to be, and I know how to protect myself now."
A kind-looking old woman responded with a sigh.
She was originally an elder of the Lan family, and she married Lan Xiangyi. Therefore, she had special feelings for this young lady.
"These are for the nannies. Don't refuse them. You've all worked hard these past few days." Yan Nangui pointed to the table.
Chanyi hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the things into the hands of the nannies.
The old women didn't refuse and eventually accepted it.
"Well, I'll send it to you tomorrow," an old woman said.
"If no one comes to pick you up, then we'll send you off. But I'm sure someone will come to pick you up," Yan Nangui said.
Yan Nanxu has already left, and as for her second brother, there's no point in hoping for him.
Whether the Yan family will come tomorrow is unknown, but the Crown Prince's residence will likely send someone to pick them up.
For no other reason than that, if you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way.
As expected.
The next morning, Yan Nangui got up early, ate breakfast, and after dressing up, there was some noise outside.
The one singing in response was the Prince's residence coming to escort Consort Yan to his residence.
The old women also breathed a sigh of relief; at this time of year, it would be too much for them to be invited into the mansion…
"Please come in," Yan Nangui said.
It's impossible for the Crown Prince to come in person; sending a decent steward is already a great honor.
Sure enough, the visitors were a steward from the front courtyard, surnamed Zhao, and Jianchun, the Crown Princess's head maid.
She entered and greeted him with a smile: "Greetings, Madam Liangyuan."
"No need for formalities, thank you for coming all this way. I was just about to go by myself," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
"On such a joyous day, of course we must come to fetch you. You're too kind, Consort." Jianchun smiled and said, "This servant is Jianchun from the Crown Princess's side, and this is Steward Zhao from the front courtyard."
“Oh, I see. Since you’re here, have a cup of hot tea. I’m all set, I can leave now with just a cloak. But there are still a few people I need to tell them,” Yan Nangui said.
There wasn't much to say, except that I couldn't just take the order and leave.
It's not a wedding, there's no auspicious time, and even if there's a banquet, it might not be today.
So there's no rush.
The two smiled and agreed, then sat down to drink tea.
Yan Nangui wore a light purple dress, and her hair was tied up high, decorated with gold hairpins and jade beads.
She wore a gold necklace with a ruyi clasp around her neck, adorned with a matching gold pendant.
He was wearing a thick cloak with fur trim.
The cloak was silver with subtle embroidery; just by looking at it, you could tell it was very valuable.
These clothes were all hastily made.
She disposed of all her old clothes.
The original owner was clearly a flamboyant and fiery person, with a beautiful and dashing appearance. Her eyes clearly showed that she was not to be trifled with, but her stepmother maliciously guided her towards an innocent image.
This resulted in the original owner's clothes being mostly plain colors. They were clearly unsuitable, but she insisted on wearing them, reducing her beauty from ten points to a five. Furthermore, she was deliberately raised to be ignorant and incompetent, and all she knew was to be stubborn and mean-spirited, so even that five points were gone.
Now that she's taken over, she naturally has to choose everything that suits her.
Your clothes should be gorgeous, but you don't need to talk about being ruthless.
"I've said everything I needed to say. You can all go back now. I can still communicate with my aunt even after I'm in the manor. Please don't worry about her. Just tell her the truth about everything else."
Several old women nodded in agreement, and two of them even started wiping away tears.
Yan Nangui was no longer under control; it was about time for him to leave.
Chanyi and Luokui followed closely behind, and after they both bowed, they all mingled with Yan Nangui.
Yan Nangui didn't bring many things with her; she exchanged most of her belongings for silver.
However, I still brought some clothes with me. It won't be quick to make them when I get to the mansion. I need to prepare more for the whole winter and the New Year.
Secondly, there's jewelry. Keep whatever suits her and that she likes. Some good jade pieces should be kept, even if she doesn't like the style, it can be changed later.
She also needs to take some medicine; her health requires rest and recuperation.
And so, Consort Yan was to enter the Crown Prince's residence.
In the end, it was Yan Jincheng who saw her off.
However, she didn't want to get out of the car to meet him. If she could still say a few words of resentment to the eldest brother, then she had nothing to say to the second brother.
The name itself gives a clue.
Princess Rongning's health was damaged after giving birth to her youngest daughter, making it difficult for her to conceive again. That's why she was so focused on raising Yan Jincheng.
Yan Nanxu and Yan Nangui have names that are next to each other, so how could the second child in the middle not have that name? He naturally did too, but Rong Ning said his name wasn't suitable at the time. Plus, he was sick that year.
So it was changed to Jincheng. A bright future.
The two daughters born to the eldest princess were named Jinsi and Jinfei.
In this way, Yan Jincheng was brought under her wing, separating him from Yan Nanxu and Yan Nangui.
Yan Nanxu lived away from the capital with her father. Over the years, the Yan family had only one daughter named Yan Nangui, whose name was different. Despite being the eldest daughter, she was stuck in the middle, which shows how difficult her life was.
Even if she wasn't actually being bullied to the point of not eating well, the servants didn't dare to bully her. But not daring to bully her didn't mean they wouldn't mistreat her.
Even if she wasn't bullied, she was still lonely living alone in the Yan family.
