Chapter 176 The Prince Was Ignored
After Mu Chang and Jiang Xu received the news in the afternoon, they quickly asked their servants to deliver all the piles of account books to Changle Palace.

“Sister Jiang, these can’t all be…” Nan Zhiyu sat on the Arhat couch, looking at these things on the ground, and suddenly felt dizzy.

Jiang Xu patted her hand soothingly, "Don't worry, there are rules for managing the internal account books. As long as you learn the tricks, the rest will not be difficult."

Under Mu Chang's expectant eyes, Nan Zhiyu found fun in learning harem affairs management from Jiang Xu. She completely forgot about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and had no time to pay attention to him at all.

Every time someone from Chongming Palace came to ask Concubine Yue what she was doing, the servants serving in the palace would answer: studying with Concubine Jiang.

Shen Hui was waiting for Nan Zhiyu to send someone to deliver the message, so that they could bring her mother's ashes back to the Shen family's ancestral tomb and move the tablet back to the Shen family's ancestral hall. However, after waiting for more than half a month, there was still no news.

Shen Hongfeng was also a little anxious. "Father, don't worry. I will go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow to ask what's going on."

Shen Hui looked unhappy and patted his son's shoulder. "She may not be able to accept it for a while, so she went back on her word. I don't blame her."

Shen Hui turned his head and looked at the verdant sycamore tree in the courtyard, a trace of nostalgia flashed across his eyes, "But your mother is very timid. She is afraid of the dark, insects, and many things. She has been alone outside for so many years, with no one to accompany her. I am afraid that it will be too late to welcome her back. After a hundred years, when I go to the underworld, she will blame me."

The culprit, the Nan family, has completely collapsed, and all of its members have been exiled to the border. Even the descendants of the Nan family are not allowed to take the imperial examinations or serve as officials in the court for a hundred years.

This decree almost ended all prospects for success for the younger generation of the Nan family.

"Go to the palace tomorrow and bring all these things to her. Tell her that if she is wronged in the palace, she doesn't need to be afraid, because the entire General's Mansion is her strong support and backing."

Shen Hui muttered a lot more, and Shen Hongfeng stood aside and listened carefully without any impatience.

"Don't worry, father. I will tell her what you said."

In the court, Wei Qingye had a gloomy face, which scared all the officials so much that they dared not talk nonsense and say useless things, so the court ended much earlier than before.

Chai Hui trotted along beside the Crown Prince, feeling worried as well.

Ever since Yue Jieyu and Concubine Jiang learned about palace affairs, they have been too busy to care about His Highness. His Highness the Crown Prince has been alone in his empty room for several days, there is no way he can look good!

Shen Hongfeng hurriedly caught up with the Crown Prince from behind, "Your Highness, I have something I want to ask you for advice."

Wei Qingye looked at him expressionlessly, but did not refuse. He just turned around and walked forward.

Chai Hui hurriedly reminded from behind: "General Shen, why don't you catch up quickly?"

Shen Hongfeng followed the Crown Prince into the East Palace and entered the Chongming Palace. He looked around but did not see Nan Zhiyu.

"Your Highness, I wonder if I can meet Concubine Yue?" Shen Hongfeng thought of the small box in his arms and asked boldly.

Wei Qingye raised his eyelids and looked at him, sneering: "She is so busy now that she doesn't even want to see me, how can she take time out to see you?"

Shen Hongfeng never expected that the Crown Prince would be jealous of his own brother-in-law. It was really ridiculous!
Shen Hongfeng suddenly remembered something, and a hint of amusement flashed across his eyes, "Your Highness doesn't allow us to send someone to invite him, but what if Concubine Yue knows that I am your humble servant and is willing to see him?"

Wei Qingye casually turned the brush, which he grabbed directly in his hand, and looked at him with invisible aggression in his dark eyes, "Eunuch Xiao Chai, didn't you hear what General Shen said?"

Chai Hui didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would actually take it seriously.

He quickly asked Xiao Guizi to go and ask for the invitation himself, and also asked him to make sure to explain what happened in the palace to Concubine Yue. In Yilan Palace, Nan Zhiyu was discussing with Jiang Xu the problem of excessive expenditure in the harem account book, and Qian Xiu came in and reported: "Master, Xiao Guizi from Chongming Palace is waiting outside the palace, and it seems that he has something urgent to ask Concubine Yue."

Jiang Xu put down the account book in his hand and said with a smile: "Why are you still standing there? Come and take a look!"

Nan Zhiyu knew that she had been busy studying harem affairs during this period and had somewhat neglected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so when she heard that Xiao Guizi was looking for her urgently, her heart beat faster.

On the way to Chongming Palace in the sedan chair, Nan Zhiyu's mouth never fell after she knew the whole story, because she really couldn't understand why the Crown Prince would compete with Shen Hongfeng.

Xiao Guizi personally helped Nan Zhiyu down from the sedan chair, "Yue Jieyu, please be careful on the steps."

When the person really appeared in Chongming Hall, the prince subconsciously wanted to stand up, but when he saw the man standing below the stage with a bright smile on his face, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Nan Zhiyu stepped forward and bowed gracefully, saying, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder what important matter has His Royal Highness summoned me for?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised his hand and said, "Get up."

It had been a long time since he had seen her perform proper etiquette in front of outsiders. It was really annoying no matter how he watched it!
After waiting for Nan Zhiyu to stand up straight, he still felt a little dissatisfied, because he felt that this woman should stand on a high platform and share the admiration of everyone with him.

"It's not that I have something to look for you, but General Shen stopped me and clamored to see you." When Wei Qingye said this, he didn't realize that there was an inexplicable sour taste between the lines.

Nan Zhiyu turned around and glanced at Shen Hongfeng, "I wonder why General Shen came to see me, Concubine?"

She was talking to Shen Hongfeng, but her glazed eyes were secretly glancing at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the podium.

Shen Hongfeng smiled and took out an exquisite box from his arms and handed it over, "This is what my father asked me to give you. Our entire Shen family is your support..."

Before Shen Hongfeng finished the rest of his words, the Crown Prince, who was sitting firmly on the high platform, could no longer sit still. He strode down the steps, walked behind Nan Zhiyu, put his arms around her waist and said, "Her biggest supporter is me."

Shen Hongfeng said without losing face: "In our Shen family, there is no daughter who is married off, and the water is spilled."

When Wei Qingye heard this, he sneered and said, "Then wait until Zhizhi is included in the Shen family's genealogy before you say this!"

He directly took the box from Nan Zhiyu's hand and threw it to Shen Hongfeng.

"She is alone now, so General Shen should have some sense of propriety."

Shen Hongfeng tightly grasped the box, looked at the complacent Crown Prince and suppressed his urge to beat him up, "Father said that the date is set for seven days from now. Everything is ready, and we are just waiting for you, Concubine Yue, to come."

Nan Zhiyu nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely go."

After Shen Hongfeng left, Wei Qingye couldn't help but ask, "Zhizhi, what did you promise Shen Hongfeng and the others to do after seven days?"

Nan Zhiyu grabbed his fingers and said calmly, "Set an auspicious day to bring mother's tablet back to the Shen family. Your Highness, can you understand this?"
