I just want to live a good life

Chapter 273: Gift to the Queen Mother

Chunliu and Meixiang were also startled by the Crown Prince's coquettish words.

The two looked at each other and saw astonishment in each other's eyes.

But they couldn't leave like the falcons, nor did they want to leave, because they wanted to see how their concubine would react.

The two looked at Mu Yunting and Su Nuan with excitement.

Perhaps Mu Yunting felt that one sentence was not enough to express his grievance and dissatisfaction, so he continued, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and no one cared when I was hungry."

Su Nuan couldn't stand Mu Yunting's coquettish behavior, and her heart trembled when she heard it.

My heart trembled and I spoke without thinking, "Be good, I'll go cook for you."

It was not until she walked into the kitchen that she realized why she had agreed to cook. She was also hungry!

"Spring willow, spring willow."

"Plum fragrance."

Su Nuan wanted to ask someone to go to the kitchen to get some ready-made meals, but after calling the two people for a long time, there was no response. Little did she know that the two people had already been sent away by Mu Yunting.

Helpless, I had to accept my fate and do it myself.

Fortunately, all the ingredients were available in the kitchen, and soon two bowls of shredded pork noodles were ready.

When Su Nuan turned around and walked out of the kitchen with the noodles in her hand, she found Mu Yunting standing at the kitchen door looking at her.

"when did you come?"

I didn't hear any footsteps.

Mu Yunting replied softly: "I came here after you called Chunliu and Meixiang."

For the first time in my life, I felt that watching someone make noodles was a very enjoyable thing, especially when the noodles were made for myself and the person making the noodles was someone I liked.

That bowl of noodles must be delicious.

Both of them were hungry and ate the bowl of noodles in silence.

Mu Yunting didn't even have a mouthful of noodle soup left.

After dinner, we started to talk about business.

Su Nuan first asked about Xia Changze's case and learned that Lord Shen was looking for all those who participated in the fight in front of Zuixianju to come back for questioning based on Xia Changze's confession.

Investigating a case is not a matter of one day or one night, and with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince around, Prince Ankang can no longer do anything to Xia Changze. Su Nuan was not too worried, but she promised to take her mother to visit her third brother, and she still needed Mu Yunting's help for this, so she told him what happened in front of the criminal department today.

Mu Yunting took out a token and placed it in Su Nuan's hand.

"With this token, no one will dare to stop you."

Su Nuan took the token with both hands and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"The Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother want to see you. Go to the palace tomorrow and pay your respects to them."

"Okay." Su Nuan answered obediently, and then whispered: "Why do you suddenly want to see me? You don't want me to persuade you to take a concubine this time!"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. I said I would go to the palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress tomorrow."

Hearing her address, Mu Yunting frowned. It seemed that this woman never wanted to call him "Imperial Grandmother" and "Mother" together with him.

Suddenly, he felt a little worried about her. "Wait for me in the palace tomorrow. I will accompany you to pay respects after the court is over."

"Okay!"

"I remember there were seven gems on Hongji's scabbard. My mother likes red ones."

Su Nuan was stunned. The red gem had already been inlaid on the jewelry, and it was impossible to take it off and give it to her!

No, why did he remember the gem on the scabbard?

I can’t give it to you. If I give you this one, you might ask for others in the future.

"What scabbard?"

Su Nuan played dumb.

Mu Yunting saw her eyes rolling around and she was pretending to be stupid, and he couldn't help but want to tease her.

"It's the scabbard of the Red Sword my father-in-law gave me. I remember you had someone make a new one for me. The old scabbard is still with you, right? Please give it back to me. I want to give the largest ruby ​​on it to my mother."

Su Nuan was wavering between donating the jewelry to the queen and confessing that she had kept the gems for herself. Finally, she made up her mind, got up and took out the jewelry from her treasure chest.

"This is the only one left. The others were made into jewelry and given away as gifts."

Mu Yunting narrowed his eyes as he looked at the beautiful jewelry and asked, "Did you draw the design yourself and have it made?"

"Ah."

Su Nuan was too lazy to answer. This was the set of work she was most satisfied with, and her heart was bleeding as she was about to give it away.

"Put it on for me to see."

"what?"

Seeing that she didn't move, Mu Yunting picked up a hairpin and put it on Su Nuan's head. The hairpin was made of jade and had a crescent-shaped top. The texture of the white jade was soft, which made her look much softer.

Then put on the earrings and then the tiara.

Mu Yunting was fully focused. After putting on the whole set of headdress, he gently lifted Su Nuan's chin and looked at her carefully, as if he was appreciating a fine work of art.

Su Nuan didn't dare to move from the beginning, and she was even more afraid now, for fear that any movement would break the current atmosphere and she would miss some benefits, such as a kiss that might fall at any time.

But after waiting for a long time, Mu Yunting seemed to be in a trance, not moving at all.

Su Nuan's neck was sore from looking up, and just when she was about to take the initiative, Mu Yunting suddenly frowned.

Then I heard this person mutter: "I haven't given any."

After saying that, he gently let go of Su Nuan, said "I have something urgent to do", and left in a hurry.

Su Nuan didn't know what he was doing.

Does he still want the ruby?

She felt really bad about picking it out and giving it to the Queen. She felt bad not only for the gem but also for her own work.

The grooves are tailored to the size of the gemstones, and even the jade pieces on the crown are designed to match the patterns of the gemstones.

It is simply impossible to find another ruby ​​that is exactly the same.

Su Nuan felt distressed, and finally made up her mind to give the entire set of headdresses to the Queen, just to make Mu Yunting happy, and to keep the few gems she had left.

After making the decision, he stopped hesitating and put the jewelry back into the box before going out to find Lady Wang.

She planned to invite Doctor Yao to dinner as a way of thanking him for saving Xia Changze.

After looking around and searching all the places where Madam Wang might have gone, he still couldn't find her. Not only Madam Wang, but even Chunliu and Meixiang were missing.

I didn't find the person I wanted to find, but I met someone I didn't want to see.

It was obvious that Dong Jingshu didn't want to see her either, and her face twitched as soon as they met.

"Concubine Xia is really free. Doesn't she have to run around for Third Young Master Xia? Prince Ankang is not as easy to bully as the Marquis Zhongyuan Mansion. If anyone dares to kill Prince Ankang, Third Young Master Xia will probably have to pay with his life."

Su Nuan smiled and replied, "No matter how powerful he is, it depends on who he is facing. Even if he is facing our Crown Prince, Prince Ankang, he has to give in."

This was a secret way of telling Dong Jingshu that the Crown Prince would stand up for Xia Changze. In terms of the ability to hurt people's hearts, Su Nuan believed that she was no worse than Dong Jingshu.

Sure enough, Dong Jingshu's face changed after hearing Su Nuan's words.

"Humph, Your Highness is busy enough, and he still has to deal with all these messes for you. Concubine Xia should be concerned about Your Highness's health even if she doesn't care about the reputation of the Crown Prince's Mansion. Don't you feel guilty running around for your family right after you come back?"

"Why should I feel guilty? He volunteered."

Dong Jingshu felt very uncomfortable and turned away with her sleeves.

Su Nuan muttered to herself behind her: "His Highness is clearly in the mansion, but why can't we find him anywhere? Where did he go?"

Hearing her words, Dong Jingshu's pace became faster.

Su Nuan smiled secretly. She guessed that Dong Jingshu had gone to find Mu Yunting. It was okay anyway, so she secretly followed Dong Jingshu to verify her guess.

Sure enough, Dong Jingshu first went to Mu Yunting's study, then to Lanyue Pavilion, and finally even went to Wangyue Tower.

After one round, Su Nuan's cheeks were sore from laughing, and she didn't care at all that she had been following the other person for a long time.
