I just want to live a good life

The busiest person in the Prince's Mansion these days is Chef Kang Dafu, who is busy making all kinds of dim sum.

His Royal Highness suddenly wanted to eat dim sum, and he wanted it to be soft and delicious. Kang Dafu used his special skills to make all the dim sum he knew how to make, but none of them could satisfy His Royal Highness.

After a few days of hard work, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally stopped being obsessed with snacks, and Kang Dafu finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, as the number one chef in the Crown Prince's Mansion, his proud heart was deeply hurt.

Of course, Su Nuan was unaware of all this. She was still immersed in her new life and was happy!

The half-month confinement period passed quickly. On the first day after Su Nuan was released, she walked around the mansion happily. She had no other intentions, she just wanted to use this way to tell others, "I am living a good life, and I am not the poor thing you say I am!"

"Your Majesty, our courtyard is ready, what should we do next?" Meixiang followed behind Su Nuan and asked expectantly.

Su Nuan had already thought about this problem. She had made a bold promise in the past that she would never let Chun Liu and Bi Tao be bullied again. Now it was time to fulfill her promise.

"Let's go to the flower garden."

The concubine's maid who came with her as a dowry was arranged by Luzhu to work in the flower garden. The whole Prince's Mansion knew about it. When Meixiang heard that Su Nuan was going to take a walk in the flower garden, she immediately showed excitement.

The three of them came to the flower garden in a heroic and high-spirited manner. Maids and servants passing by saw this scene and gathered around to watch the fun.

At this moment in the flower garden, Chunliu and Bitao were carefully tending to a group of peonies.

This batch of flower seedlings has been cultivated for several years, and each one is a rare variety. Some of them have just sprouted buds and are prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to present to Her Majesty the Queen, so there can be no room for any mistakes.

Since Chunliu and Bitaozi returned to the flower garden half a month ago, they have been assigned to take care of this batch of peonies. They will be fined if even a leaf falls.

After spending half a month in a tense atmosphere, both of them lost a lot of weight.

Su Nuan's arrival first alarmed the two gardeners who were in charge of the flower garden. When they heard that the concubine had arrived, they did not dare to neglect her and quickly put down their work and came out to greet her.

"My Lady Concubine, if you want any flowers, just let someone come and let me know. Why bother coming in person?"

The older of the two gardeners said with a flattering smile.

Su Nuan snorted in her heart. The gardener spoke nicely, but in fact, she had asked Meixiang to ask for some flower seedlings a few days ago. But after much persuasion, she only brought back a few skinny chrysanthemums with dry branches and yellow leaves.

In desperation, Su Nuan had to ask Baozhu and Meixiang to steal some from the garden in the second half of the night when no one was around.

So it is quite ironic that the gardener said this at this moment.

Su Nuan suppressed her disgust and asked the gardener, "What's your name? Are you the one in charge of this flower garden?"

"Reporting to the Concubine, my name is Zhang Shun, and I am the manager of this flower garden."

"I heard that my two maids who came with my dowry were helping out in the flower garden. I passed by here today and just happened to go in and see them."

Su Nuan said as she walked inside.

Zhang Shun quickly winked at the young gardener beside him, then quickly caught up with Su Nuan.

"Miss, why are you here?"

Chunliu and Bitao were surprised and happy when they first saw Su Nuan.

"I'm here to take you back to Duiyueju!"

Su Nuan glanced at Zhang Shun as if nothing had happened and said.

The latter's expression changed, but he said nothing in the end.

"What are you standing there for? Pack up and follow me." Su Nuan urged.

After hearing this, Chunliu and Bitao happily ran to get their clothes.

While waiting, Su Nuan walked around the entire flower garden, and Zhang Shun followed respectfully beside her. When Su Nuan encountered flowers she didn't recognize, or varieties she was interested in, Zhang Shun would explain to her.

I have to say that although Zhang Shun is not a very good person, he has strong professional knowledge and can talk about these flowers in great detail.

Through his explanation, Su Nuan already had a general understanding of this flower garden, and had also locked on a few flowers that she liked. She didn't dare touch the ones that were to be presented to the queen, and she had to figure out how to get the others back to her Duiyue Residence.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Chunliu and Bitao came out with their bags. It turned out that they not only washed their hands, but also changed into clean clothes.

The master and his servants happily walked out of the flower garden, and a green figure was already blocking the way. Upon closer inspection, they found that it was a girl in a green dress.

Su Nuan had some impression of this girl. On the night when she traveled through time, this girl was standing behind Mu Yunting.

As expected, this is the "little lady" - Green Bamboo.

Sure enough, the woman in the green skirt bowed to Su Nuan, "Lu Zhu greets the Concubine!"

"Sister Luzhu, you don't have to be so polite!" Su Nuan said with a smile, and went up to help Luzhu up. "Sister is indeed a very polite person. No wonder His Highness wants my two ignorant maids to learn etiquette from you."

"My Lady Concubine, you are embarrassing me. Please just call me Luzhu."

"Aiya, we are all serving His Highness, there is no need to be embarrassed, you deserve to be called sister."

Su Nuan called her "sister" all the time, treating Lu Zhu as if she were the prince's concubine.

Lu Zhu said quickly, "My Lady Concubine, this is not in accordance with etiquette. You should just call me Lu Zhu."

Seeing Lu Zhu's pale face, pursed lips, and an appearance of being humiliated, Su Nuan couldn't bear it, so she stopped teasing her and got back to the point: "Well, I'll call you Lu Zhu. I came here today to take my two dowry maids back. Since you are here, I just want to tell you something. Don't say I didn't tell you."

"It was His Highness' idea to have Chunliu and Bitao come to the flower garden to help. If the Concubine wants to take these two away, shouldn't she ask His Highness for permission first?"

"Just go ahead and say no." Su Nuan said with a smile, "Anyway, you're the one who sent them here."

"Well, please wait for a moment, Concubine. I will go and ask His Highness for instructions."

Having said that, Lu Zhu bowed again, then turned and left.

Su Nuan was not angry. She went back to the flower garden and started looking for the varieties she liked.

When Luzhu came back, she brought Mu Yunting's instructions, "Chunliu and Bitao will continue to work in the flower garden. If Concubine Xia really misses them, she can stay in the flower garden and work together."

Looking at Lu Zhu's contemptuous eyes, Su Nuan curled her lips and said in her heart: "Mu Yunting, this is what you asked me to stay, don't regret it."

"How could this happen? Your Highness actually let the concubine work in the flower garden?"

"The legitimate queen can't even handle a self-proclaimed 'little queen'?"

"See, I told you, Your Highness just doesn't like the Concubine."

"..."

There was a lot of whispering around, and Su Nuan heard it all clearly. Seeing Lu Zhu's calm expression, Su Nuan cursed herself for being stupid. How could someone who enjoyed being called "little lady" by others, feel wronged just because she teased her?

However, this had no effect on what she was going to do next.

Meeting Lu Zhu's gaze, Su Nuan smiled slightly and said, "I'll stay and work."
