I just want to live a good life

Chapter 241 Full of Harvests

Su Nuan really admires this Old Six, who dares to say anything just because he is Mu Yunting's elder.

The position of Crown Princess was reserved for Xun Zheng. Su Nuan herself had never dared to think about it, but Prince Guang'an dared to say it so casually.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Mu Yunting's face changed. It was as if a layer of ice covered his face, and it was frighteningly cold.

"Why is it my uncle's turn to appoint my queen?"

Everyone could see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry, and they all held their breath, fearing that their loud breathing would attract His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's attention.

Su Nuan's heart sank again and again. Although she had long known that Xun Zheng's position in Mu Yunting's heart was irreplaceable, she still felt very uncomfortable when she really had to face this situation.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? I don't have the qualifications. I just think that Concubine Xia is gentle and generous, and she is qualified to be the principal wife. Am I wrong?"

With just one sentence, Prince Guang'an easily brushed away Mu Yunting's anger and appropriately transferred the conflict to Su Nuan.

Mu Yunting was silent.

Su Nuan's heart sank to the bottom.

She slowly said, "Prince Guang'an, thank you for your praise."

After this sentence was said, the scene fell into awkwardness again, and Prince Guang'an became the only person in the banquet room with a smile on his face.

Although Su Nuan knew that the King of Guang'an was deliberately looking for trouble with her, her mood had reached its lowest point and she didn't want to speak at all.

After a long silence, Mu Yunshu, who had the least presence today, finally spoke up, "Everyone, I wonder where in Xiaomian County the best bamboo fungus is sold. I will be returning to the Imperial City in two days, and I want to bring some back to give to my relatives and friends."

Everyone knew that Xiaomian County was the maternal family of the Prince of Yongping, and they would come almost every year. If he wanted to bring bamboo fungus, the Yu family would naturally prepare it for him. Asking questions now was just a way to change the subject.

Everyone responded quickly.

"I know there is a shop on Xishi Street. The bamboo fungus they sell is of first-rate quality."

"There is a restaurant at the entrance of the old street. The chef there has excellent cooking skills and is good at making bamboo fungus in the most authentic way. Why don't you take the chef back with you, too?"

"In fact, we have many delicious foods in Xiaomian County. Prince, please bring some back for your relatives and friends to taste."

"..."

Everyone began to discuss the specialties of Xiaomian County.

Mu Yunting's gloomy face showed a hint of tenderness when he looked at Su Nuan. He picked up a piece of bamboo fungus and put it in Su Nuan's bowl, and said softly: "Try it. If you think it tastes good, we can take some back."

Su Nuan forced a smile but did not touch the bamboo fungus. She replied calmly, "My brother-in-law, who doesn't care about food, likes to eat it, so it must be right. I can take some back and give it to others."

In this kind of situation, Su Nuan should have called Mu Yunshu the Prince of Yongping, but she called him brother-in-law. Mu Yunting frowned slightly, but fortunately Su Nuan's voice was not loud and not many people heard it.

But among the few people happened to be Prince Guang'an.

"I heard that the Crown Prince's Concubine and the Prince of Yongping's Concubine are sisters. I wonder if Concubine Xia is the elder sister or the younger sister?"

Prince Guang'an asked Su Nuan.

Su Nuan really wanted to roll her eyes at him. He clearly heard her call Mu Yunshu brother-in-law, but he still asked such a question. He must have been holding back.

So Su Nuan pretended not to hear and turned around to pour a glass of wine for Mu Yunting.

She thought Prince Guang'an would give up when faced with difficulties, but she didn't expect that she underestimated his determination to cause trouble.

Prince Guang'an turned around and asked Mu Yunshu, "Yunshu, is your Crown Prince's Consort your elder sister or younger sister?"

Mu Yunshu should have guessed that this person was going to cause trouble, but as a junior, he couldn't leave his uncle alone like the Crown Prince's concubine, so he replied, "My wife is Concubine Xia's eldest sister."

"Hahaha, it seems my brother has chosen the wrong couple again. Last year, when I returned to the imperial city to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, my brother privately said that he wanted to marry General Xia's eldest daughter to the Crown Prince as his principal wife. But it turns out that Miss Xia is a couple with Yun Shu!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many guests wanted to leave.

Although Xiaomian County is quite far from the imperial city, the major events happening in the imperial city can still be reported there. For example, the Emperor arranged a marriage for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with the eldest daughter of General Xia. However, General Xia's youngest daughter interfered and disrupted the marriage, and then married the Crown Prince in place of her sister. In order to punish her, the Emperor demoted the Crown Princess from the Xia family to the Crown Prince's concubine.

Prince Guang'an is indeed the prince's uncle. He even dares to mention such things in front of the prince.

Many people were already digging their toes on the ground in embarrassment for the Crown Prince, Concubine Xia, and Prince Yongping.

"Uncle Sixth Prince, you don't know that the Emperor only said that the marriage was with a girl from the Xia family, and didn't specify that it was the eldest daughter. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Xia were destined to be together, so they got together. The marriage between my wife and I was made possible by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Xia."

Mu Yunshu's explanation was very clever. It avoided the truth and blurred the emotional state of Mu Yunting and Su Nuan when the marriage was arranged.

Especially after everyone saw how tender and affectionate the Crown Prince was towards Concubine Xia, his explanation could be said to have given both of them enough dignity.

Su Nuan nodded gratefully to Mu Yunshu, and when her gaze swept over Prince Guang'an, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

She was sure that Xia Qingyan had never offended the King of Guang'an before, but this man was targeting her everywhere today. She wondered what his purpose was?

Could it be that he was offended by the words I just said in the garden?

"Concubine Xia, I offer you a toast."

When Su Nuan was puzzled by Prince Guang'an's behavior, Yu Zhiqiu stood up and toasted her.

"I know Concubine Xia can't drink alcohol due to her leg injury. Let's use tea instead of wine."

Someone had just given her a gift an hour ago, and Su Nuan couldn't refuse her toast, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

As a result, he caught a glimpse of Yu Zhiqiu taking a sip of the wine in the glass, and then looking at him with hatred in his eyes.

Su Nuan didn't understand why at first, but when she heard Mu Yunshu chatting with others, she suddenly realized that this girl hated her because she had caused Mu Yunshu to marry Xia Qingyao.

Today's banquet was really fruitful. One Prince Guang'an was not enough, and now there was also Yu Zhiqiu. She was overwhelmed by all these opponents.

However, the biggest gain for her from this banquet was Prince Guang'an's "test" of Mu Yunting.

Su Nuan suddenly felt very tired.

It would be fine if the person that Mu Yunting held dearest to her heart really died. She could still comfort herself that it was fate that made her a step late.

But that person was obviously alive and well, and she was like a knife hanging over her head, not knowing when it would fall.

Su Nuan wondered whether she should lend a helping hand and help this woman "come back to life" as soon as possible. That way, she would be able to see clearly whether it was a knife or a candy hanging over her head.

Su Nuan didn’t know how she got through the rest of the meal.

She finally came to her senses when she was picked up by Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunting just put her in the carriage and did not go back to the villa with her because he had other things to deal with.

When the two separated, Mu Yunting seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Su Nuan was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't care.
