Chapter 213: Cruise on the Lake (1)
With Leng Yue's help, Su Nuan went to the toilet of the inn, and when she came back, Mu Yunting was waiting for her.
Dinner is on the table.
Su Nuan did feel hungry. Storytelling is a strenuous job. It requires not only talking but also thinking about the plot.
I've consumed quite a lot in the afternoon, so now's the perfect time for lunch.
Xiaomian County is indeed a big place, and the food in the inn is much better than that in the previous towns.
In fact, this food was bought by Mu Yunting from a restaurant in the town.
I have been traveling so fast these days that I haven't had a proper meal. Today is a day to rest, so I might as well improve my diet.
The biggest advantage of Su Nuan is that she has no worries when it comes to delicious food. As long as she eats good food, she can be happy no matter what happens.
Because of this, Mu Yunting liked to eat with her the most. The two of them would rush to eat and always eat until they were full.
Su Nuan was working on a lotus leaf chicken. She tore off a chicken leg and hesitated before giving it to Mu Yunting. If it were any other day, she would have to decide the first bite with her own mouth, but today was the day to be humble and she had to give up the first chicken leg.
Mu Yunting took the chicken leg without hesitation and took a bite, eating in a very polite manner.
Su Nuan pretended not to see it, pulled off another chicken leg and ate it in big mouthfuls. She was also a gentle person, but she was not in the mood at the moment.
The meal was a delightful one. Two people had six dishes and one soup. In the end, they had finished all the dishes except the lotus leaf chicken with its two legs torn off.
Su Nuan was a little full after eating so much. She leaned back in her chair and looked at the leftovers on the table with a little regret. She should eat less now that she has difficulty moving. She will definitely gain weight if she eats so much.
"Have you always eaten like this?"
Mu Yunting looked at Su Nuan leaning back in the chair and rubbing her belly, and couldn't help but ask. In fact, he had wanted to ask this question a long time ago.
Are you complaining that I am not elegant enough when eating? You are so full after eating so much, how dare you say that to me? Su Nuan thought so and said, "Yes, we have eaten together so many times, you already know how I eat."
The implication is that it’s too late to dislike it now!
What did you do earlier?
Mu Yunting smiled and said, "You are the first woman who eats too much in front of me."
"Oh, it's my pleasure."
Mu Yunting's smile became even wider. How could he allow others to covet such an interesting woman?
"Shall we continue the story?"
Su Nuan felt that there was something strange about the way Mu Yunting looked at her and thought that he was anxious to hear the story.
"No hurry, I'll tell you the story later. Let's do something else tonight."
After Mu Yunting finished speaking, he smiled at Su Nuan with an ambiguous tone.
This forced Su Nuan to think about what this "other" referred to.
My face turned red as I thought about it.
"There's a lantern festival tonight, I'll take you to the lake."
"Really?"
Su Nuan almost jumped up with excitement, "Let's take a ride on the flower boat and drink flower wine, let's go."
Mu Yunting's face twitched. This woman is really interesting. What decent woman would only think about wine and women all day long? Oh, and she even visited a brothel.
Why do I suddenly feel a little disgusted?
No matter how much you dislike it, getting people on board is the serious business.
Mu Yunting stood up, picked up Su Nuan and walked out.
Su Nuan was so focused on riding the flower boat that she even forgot to say polite words and looked at Mu Yunting happily.
It was only after the two of them went downstairs that she felt something was wrong.
Many guests were eating downstairs, and when they saw the two people coming downstairs like this, they started whispering to each other again.
"What's the point of hugging each other?"
"It's not what you think. I saw that woman when I went into town this morning. She fell off her horse and probably broke her leg."
"A woman riding a horse, she deserves it! But it's a pity that she looks like this!"
"That's right. That man has a beautiful concubine. This woman has a broken leg. I think her life will be miserable in the future!"
"..."
Bah, I just have a broken bone!
but......
There was a carriage parked at the door of the inn, with Falcon sitting in the coachman's seat.
This carriage was obviously prepared for Su Nuan.
Seeing the Crown Prince coming over with the Concubine in his arms, Falcon quickly stood up to help. Of course he couldn't help hold the Concubine, so he gave up his seat and lifted the curtain.
The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing the people inside.
Su Nuan took a look and felt uncomfortable, but she quickly suppressed the discomfort and said calmly: "Miss Leng Yue is going too?"
"Madam is unable to move easily, Leng Yue will follow and serve her."
The beauty pretended to be humble and submissive.
Su Nuan finally understood why Mu Yunting had no feelings for Leng Yue even though they had two very similar faces.
Although she had only met Xun Zheng a few times, in her impression, Xun Zheng's beauty was flamboyant and dazzling, which was totally inconsistent with the cautious appearance of the person in front of her.
Is that why Xun Zheng dared to let Leng Yue come to Mu Yunting?
Su Nuan rejected this idea of hers. Judging from her own experience, she could not bear to see her lover being with "another self", even if her lover only loved that person because of his/her similar appearance to hers.
This carriage was hired by Falcon from a coach shop. Although he picked the largest and best one, the spaciousness of the carriage was far less than that of the carriage in the Prince's Palace.
Su Nuan had an injury on her leg, so Mu Yunting gave her the seat facing the door and placed a small stool in the middle of the car for Su Nuan to rest her injured leg.
Leng Yue took a cushion and placed it on the small stool, and this move touched Su Nuan's heart.
The carriage was moving very steadily. Su Nuan leaned back and observed the two people sitting opposite her.
Leng Yue lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Mu Yunting stared at Leng Yue's face, his eyes were deep and his emotions could not be seen.
Alas, you still care about this face, don’t you?
At the same time, in the inn, Liefeng and his men were guarding Concubine Xia's room, waiting for Ying Shu to come.
He didn't believe that Concubine Xia would betray the Crown Prince, but he was also a little confused. What should he do if Ying Shu really came tonight?
The Lantern Festival in Xiaomian County is held once a year to celebrate the birthday of the county magistrate's mother.
The county magistrate's mother is seventy years old this year, and it is her birthday. It is said that the lantern festival will be more lively than in previous years.
Su Nuan's legs didn't make it convenient for her to go shopping, so the carriage just drove along the edge of the lantern festival.
"How about I wait in the car while Miss Leng Yue accompanies His Highness to go for a walk?"
Su Nuan suggested that she was kind enough to create an opportunity for the two of them. It was an indisputable fact that Mu Yunting had feelings for Xun Zheng, and it was also an indisputable fact that once the Xun family's case was settled, Xun Zheng would take the position of Crown Princess.
Since Mu Yunting doesn't have her in his heart, there is no need for her to offend Xun Zheng because of Mu Yunting.
She could push the person out and put another one into his arms. Then the honorable Crown Princess would not think of causing trouble for her.
To put it bluntly, she was looking for someone to attract attention in advance.
It was Xun Zheng herself who sent this person to Mu Yunting, so she can't blame anyone else when the time comes.
Of course, she was not only creating opportunities for the two of them, she also had another purpose, "Miss Leng Yue, can you buy me a lantern when you go shopping later?"
Just as the carriage reached the corner and turned, she saw a row of lanterns. They were so beautiful. She wanted one!
