I just want to live a good life

Chapter 422 Big brother is back

The first night Su Nuan left the Prince's Mansion, she had her third brother and Liao Xinyi to chat with her. She had a very happy time and the three of them chatted until very late before going to bed.

The next day, Su Nuan slept until noon.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Chunliu coming towards me.

"Mother, you are finally awake."

Su Nuan looked out the window and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's almost noon."

"It's so late, why don't you wake me up?"

"Miss Liao didn't allow me to shout. She said you went to bed late last night and asked you to sleep a little longer."

Su Nuan stretched and said to Chun Liu, "Why are you guarding me?"

"By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a message saying that someone will come to pick you up shortly."

"Pick me up?" Su Nuan said dissatisfiedly: "Did I say I wanted to go back?"

"Your Highness is not taking you back to the Prince's Mansion, but taking you to the city gate to greet the young master."

Su Nuan asked casually: "What young master? Whose young master?"

"The eldest young master of our general's mansion!"

Su Nuan sat up quickly and said, "You are talking about big brother."

Chunliu nodded.

"Brother is back, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Su Nuan jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed.

Xia Changxiao, the eldest son of the Xia family, is a legendary figure. He followed his father to the battlefield at the age of fifteen and participated in countless battles, large and small, and rarely suffered defeat.

At the age of 20, he replaced Xia Lian to guard the border.

He returned to the capital four years ago to report on his work and was supposed to marry the emperor's daughter. However, because he had a scar on his face, the princess disliked him and took the initiative to cancel the engagement with him.

This incident caused a lot of uproar in the imperial city at the time, and everyone felt sorry for Xia Changxiao Ming.

As a result, Xia Changxiao turned around and married his current wife, Xu. Outsiders said that he was hit hard by the princess's broken engagement and married a woman from a poor family. Only the Xia family knew that he tried every means to cancel the marriage with the princess because of Xu, and the scar on his face was also intentional.

After Su Nuan heard from her mother that her eldest brother was coming back, she sorted out all her memories about this eldest brother. She admired and was curious about this eldest brother and had long wanted to meet him in person.

Su Nuan dressed herself up as quickly as possible and chose a set of dignified and elegant headdress for herself.

"Chun Liu, do I look good dressed like this?"

"You look beautiful. You will be a great beauty if you just dress up a little. You are so well dressed today. It will surely dazzle His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Nuan rolled her eyes at Chun Liu and looked at herself in the mirror again. She had to make a good impression on her elder brother when she met him for the first time, as she would have to rely on him for protection in the future.

"Have you brought the gift I prepared for brother?" Su Nuan asked.

"Yes, it is in your dressing-box."

Su Nuan quickly opened the jewelry box, took out a small brocade box and put it into her sleeve pocket.

The prince's carriage had already stopped at the door. Su Nuan glanced at the carriage and said to Zhang Song, "I won't ride in your carriage today. You go in front and my carriage will follow behind."

She spoke loudly on purpose so that the people in the carriage could hear her.

"My Lady, His Highness is not in the carriage. He has entered the palace early in the morning. His Highness will go to meet General Xiao Xia on behalf of the Emperor and cannot go with you. He specifically ordered me to take you to the palace."

"Why are you entering the palace?"

Su Nuan asked.

"The Emperor is hosting a banquet in the palace to welcome General Xiao Xia."

"So if I want to see my brother, I have to go to the palace, right?"

Zhang Song didn't say anything, but his expression gave his answer.

Su Nuan was unhappy. She didn't want to see Mu Yunting now, and she didn't want to enter the palace.

But if you want to see your elder brother, you don't have to go to the palace. "You go back first. I won't go into the palace."

"But His Highness ordered..."

"You go and report to His Highness. I will go to the General's Mansion to wait for General Xiao Xia."
