Seeing that the people who were surrounding the scene started to walk back, Liu Yanyan also pulled Concubine Li and Concubine He, who still wanted to watch the fun, to walk back.

Concubine Li looked curious and whispered, "Sister Princess, I want to watch the fun! Why are you pulling me?"

Concubine He looked around and said, "I want to see it too."

Liu Yanyan had no choice but to pull the two of them inside. "Shut up, didn't you see that Princess An is outside? She clearly doesn't want anyone to see her, but you still go close to her. Don't let her hate you."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li and Concubine He followed in unwillingly.

"But it's so boring!"

"That's right!"

"So annoying."

"Shut up, I'm here to pay my respects, so just bear with it if you're bored."

After Liu Yanyan pulled the two people to the back hall, she let go of their hands. She was too lazy to pay attention to them and didn't want to say a word to them for fear of being mad at them.

He sat down at the same seat he had just been in, raised his hand to pick up the teacup and drank his tea quietly. He saw several eunuchs sent by the emperor outside and thought to himself, "The funeral will start soon. It's not a good time to leave now. I have to see him off anyway."

Yuzhu took the sweet soup handed over by the maid, tested it with a silver needle, and gently placed it next to the princess' hand. "Princess, this is not poisonous."

Liu Yanyan looked up and saw Concubine Li and Concubine He running off to chat with other people. She said calmly, "Send someone to keep an eye on them to avoid any trouble. Pay attention to who they come into contact with and what they talk about."

Yuzhen replied, "Okay, Princess. I'll go right away."

Yanyan nodded gently, picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl with her slender hands, stirred it gently with a spoon, took a sip, and a light sweetness spread in her mouth, with a slight fruity fragrance. She took a few more bites before putting down the blue and white porcelain bowl.

Yuzhu saw that the princess had a poor appetite and said distressedly, "Princess, I will go get you some food."

Liu Yanyan looked at the cakes and fruits on the table and shook her head gently, "Yuzhu, no need. These fruits look like they have been there for a few days. It may be that Princess An has been busy these days, so the people below are careless."

Yuzhu looked up and saw that the fruits on the table were wrinkled, and a hint of disgust flashed across her face.

After a long time, Yuzhen came running over with a panicked look on her face.

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "Yuzhen, take a breath before you speak. There are so many people watching us! What a shame!"

Yuzhen approached the princess and whispered, "Princess, Concubine Li is bragging to the concubines in the mansion! They are all praising the concubine, saying that she is favored and will definitely give birth to an heir in the future."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently. "This seems like something she would do. She just likes compliments from outsiders, but she wouldn't make you so excited! Is there anything else?"

"I saw that the concubine and the others were in a secluded place, and no one would see them playing. So I kept an eye on Concubine He. She was walking all the way to the outer courtyard. When she passed by the rockery, she tripped over a stone and fell into the arms of the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince picked her up and carried her to the back of the rockery. It took a long time before she came out with her clothes in disarray."

Liu Yanyan said with a cold face, "How shameless! Go on." Isn't this obviously disgusting?

"When I saw she was about to come back, I hid aside. I found that after the fifth prince left, she stood there mumbling to herself for a long time. I didn't hear what she said."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently, "Okay, I understand."

When he raised his eyes, he saw the concubine He, who had a lustful look on her face, walking towards him gracefully.

Looking closely, I noticed that the lip balm at the corners of her mouth was smudged, there was a faint red mark under her hastily adjusted collar, and the straps of her bellyband had new knots, showing that she had just been going crazy.

There was a hint of disdain in Yanyan's eyes. "

Seeing that the princess was unhappy, Concubine He took out a box of rouge and placed it next to the princess. "Princess, please take a look. Do you like it? This is what my sister bought a few days ago. It's called Yizhi Duxiu. It's a new product and it's hard to buy. There are only a few boxes a month."

Liu Yanyan looked at the blush on her face, lowered her head and saw the familiar packaging box, and said lightly, "Sister, take it back. I already have this kind of rouge, so I'll leave it to you!"

Concubine He then took the rouge on the table into her bosom, clenched her fists tightly behind her back, and her nails dug into her flesh, causing blood to seep out. "It's my sister's fault. How could the princess like such a cheap thing? It's my sister who was reckless."

Seeing her like this, Liu Yanyan said sarcastically, "Sister, you are different now. You don't even care about rouge that costs more than ten taels a box. You are no longer the little maid you used to be. You don't have to sell yourself for a few taels of silver to bury your father."

Concubine He gritted her teeth in anger, tears fell from her eyes, and her face was full of tear marks. "It is my fault that I overstepped my bounds and should not address myself as the princess's sister."

Seeing her like this, Liu Yanyan said with disdain, "If you want to cry, go outside and cry with Princess An. Don't waste your tears here."

Hearing this, Concubine He raised her hand to wipe away her tears, took a step back and dared not say anything more.

Seeing that she had behaved herself, Liu Yanyan said nothing more.

Afternoon

The sounds of gongs and suonas were deafening.

Prince An's golden coffin was lifted up by a dozen servants in mourning and carried out steadily.

The eldest prince and the fifth prince looked serious and led dozens of Taoists holding peach wood swords to clear the way.

Hundreds of servants led the way holding soul-guiding banners, with copper coins and paper scattered along the way.

The people knelt down on both sides to see King An off.

Princess An wore a white silk on her head, held Prince An's tablet, and walked behind the golden coffin.

He was so heartbroken that he was supported by Yanyan and cried, and anyone who heard about it shed tears.

Liu Yanyan comforted her, "Don't cry, there is still a long time to come!"

"Aunt, I have a miserable life! How am I going to live in the future?"

"Live well. Prince An will feel bad when he sees you like this."

"Aunt, I have a miserable life!"

“Stop crying,”

"Wow, wow, wow, auntie, what should I do?"

"Have a good life"

Aunt Wuwu, what should I do! Wuwuwuwuwu, he left me, how should I live! "

"Live well"

"Wow, how could you have the heart to leave me alone!"

Princess An didn't stop crying all the way.

Yanyan tried to comfort her at first, but later she stopped talking and just supported her numbly and let her cry.

After walking a few streets, the wife of Minister Wang came to support him.

Yanyan then walked aside, rubbing her ears that had been tortured, and muttered to herself, "She cried too hard, her voice is hoarse."

It was not until Prince An's coffin was delivered to the city gate that Princess An stopped and knelt on the ground to see Prince An off.

Liu Yanyan also followed the noble mistress who was seeing them off and walked back together.

When he got back to his carriage, he leaned limply on the pillow and said, "Yuzhu, give me a massage. My legs are a little sore."

Yuzhu said distressedly, "Princess, I will give you a massage and it will stop hurting in a while."

Yuzhen said, "The princess just finished offering incense, why don't we just go back."

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "The emperor feels sorry for Prince An. Just today, there are several eunuchs around the emperor watching Prince An's mansion. If we leave early this morning, the emperor will know in the evening!"

Upon hearing this, Yuzhen didn't dare to say anything and she and Yuzhu massaged the princess' legs together.
