I just want to live a good life

Chapter 373 The Queen and Concubines Are All Here

In the afternoon, the servant from the Princess's Mansion came personally to invite the Prince and his family to the mansion for a banquet.

Both concubines were invited, and Miss Xun was not left out.

The prince himself was naturally among them.

This eldest princess, named Xuanning, was the first daughter of the late emperor and also the emperor's biological sister. Before she got married, she was Mu Yunting's nightmare.

Others would not dare to kiss or hug him because of their status.

But his aunt had no scruples at all.

Every time they meet, she has to pick him up and kiss him, and after that she has to watch a rash appear on his face before she is satisfied.

Sometimes, when I get the urge, I'll kiss him on the face to make a shape.

Mu Yunting suffered a lot at the hands of this aunt when he was a child.

Although the Emperor and Empress loved their son and did not allow Princess Xuanning to get close to the Crown Prince, the palace was so large and Princess Xuanning was so naughty that there would always be times when they could not take care of her.

Later, she finally got married, and Mu Yunting finally had some peace.

In the little Mu Yunting's mind, Princess Xuanning's husband is a peerless hero.

Even when he grew up, he still liked to be close to the eldest son-in-law, but he would avoid seeing this aunt if possible.

But today's circumstances are special, and it would be unreasonable not to go and drink a glass of wine at the full moon banquet for Princess Xuanning's eldest son and grandson.

When the invitation was delivered to Su Nuan, Su Nuan was trying to comfort Danggui.

"Don't worry, I've asked my third brother and Xiaobai to rescue Xinyi, and she will be back soon. Just stay here and come to me if you have any problems. If you can't find me, you can go to Ding Zongguan or anyone in Duiyueju. Remember to stay away from the beautiful sister in the mansion."

"Who is this beautiful sister? Is she the Crown Prince's daughter?"

Angelica asked with confusion.

Su Nuan was speechless for a while, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no children yet. The beautiful sisters I'm talking about are the Crown Prince's concubines."

"Are they prettier than Concubine Xia?"

"Everyone has their own unique beauty. It depends on who is judging. If I were to judge myself, I would not admit that they are prettier than me."

Danggui frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must think that they are more beautiful than Concubine Xia, otherwise he wouldn't have to marry them back. Isn't it enough to have Concubine Xia alone?"

Su Nuan was speechless. She had never thought about Mu Yunting marrying someone else from this perspective.

If she thought about it this way, she suddenly felt relieved about her choice.

So when she received the invitation, she gladly accepted it, if for no other reason than to broaden her horizons.

Before, I had been struggling to raise chickens and grow vegetables in the Prince's Mansion, and was engaged in the secondary and tertiary industries. I had made myself look dirty and had never properly attended the banquets of the ladies.

So, Su Nuan returned to Duiyueju and asked Chunliu to take out her most luxurious dress, and then she chose a set of jewelry from the emperor's private treasury that best matched the dress.

After choosing clothes and jewelry, the last step is to put on makeup.

Su Nuan gave herself a more elegant makeup look, and paired it with a dress and jewelry, she looked noble and domineering, like a complete queen.

"My lady, you are so beautiful like this!"

Chunliu exclaimed.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to take his eyes away when he sees this."

Meixiang exclaimed in admiration.

I don’t know if Meixiang’s mouth was blessed, but when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw Su Nuan, he really couldn’t take his eyes off her. It was the first time he saw Su Nuan like this, and his eyes were first filled with amazement, then full of pride, and finally turned into tenderness.

Unfortunately, Su Nuan didn't care about the Crown Prince's reaction.

The three women were invited at the same time, and since they all lived in the same house, it was natural for them to travel together.

Being compared is inevitable.

No matter what others said, Su Nuan weighed the situation in her mind first.

Dong Jingshu's makeup was as exquisite as ever, and she was well dressed. She exuded nobility from head to toe, like a beautiful flower in the world.

Xun Zheng was different. She wore a plain dress and no decent jewelry, but her light makeup and the faint expression on her face gave people a sense of alienation, like a flower on a high mountain.

This is completely different from how he appears in front of Su Nuan.

Su Nuan silently gave her a little thumbs up in her heart.

Normally, when the Crown Prince travels with his family, he should ride in the same carriage with the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess hasn't married yet, so it's understandable that he chooses to ride in the same carriage with Su Nuan.

The group rushed to the Prince Consort's residence in a mighty procession.

The Prince Consort's Mansion is extremely lively today, with guests coming in one after another to congratulate them.

When the carriage from the Crown Prince's Mansion appeared in front of the Prince Consort's Mansion, it attracted onlookers.

There were really a lot of onlookers, three layers inside and three layers outside. If they hadn't been driven away by the prince's guards, the onlookers would not even want to leave a gap for these four people.

"Oh my god, the queen and concubines are all here!"

“Every one of them is a beauty!”

"Which one is the future Crown Princess?"

"The plainest one. She came here dressed like this. Is she afraid that people don't know she's poor?"

Su Nuan almost couldn't hold it in. She couldn't help but steal a glance at the person who was talking. The other person didn't look very old, about twenty-four or twenty-five, with a woman's bun and elegant clothes. It was obvious that he was a person of status.

"I heard that she is repairing the old house of the Xun family. The house has been dilapidated for so many years. It will cost a lot of money to repair it."

"How could an orphan like her get the money? It was given by the prince."

"Your Highness has even paid for the renovation of the house, so why didn't you buy her some decent clothes? Look at what she's wearing. The material isn't even as good as the clothes my maid wears."

"You don't understand this."

Which lady is speaking again? Su Nuan pricked up her ears to listen to her words.

"That was intentional. The prince gave her so much money to build the house, how could he be short of money for a set of clothes? She dressed like that on purpose to show herself to others, to make herself look pitiful. It wasn't to embarrass the prince, it was to slap Concubine Xia in the face."

Hearing that it was related to her, Su Nuan became even more interested.

"How do you say this?"

"You may not know this, but the future Crown Princess is now living in the Crown Prince's Mansion, and her food, clothing and other expenses are all provided by the Crown Prince's Mansion. The person in charge of the Crown Prince's Mansion is Concubine Xia. This person came to the banquet dressed like this, which clearly means that Concubine Xia is intolerant and is treating the future Crown Princess harshly."

"No way, I wouldn't have thought about it if you hadn't said it. She's an orphan with no support from her parents, so it's normal for her to dress shabbily."

"You didn't think that way. You didn't know she lived in the Crown Prince's Mansion, and you didn't know Concubine Xia was in charge of the household."

"If you think about it carefully, it's true! If you don't tell me today, when I know her current situation in the future, I will definitely think that Concubine Xia is treating her harshly."

If it wasn't the wrong occasion, Su Nuan would have wanted to bow to that woman.

Please learn!

She was really curious about the identity of this woman. There was no such person in the original owner's memory, and the two of them should not know each other. Why would the other party speak for her?

If these words she said were to reach Xun Zheng's ears, she would be offended.
