I just want to live a good life

Su Nuan really likes Wang Niangzi's personality.

He stuffed all the grilled skewers into her hands and continued to ask, "So what kind do you like?"

Madam Wang frowned and thought for a long time, then finally shook her head at Su Nuan, "I don't know either."

"That means you haven't met the right person yet." Su Nuan said firmly. For some reason, the image of a coachman popped up in her mind when she said this.

It is said that three women make a play, and the five women in Duiyueju almost make up two plays.

Several people were chatting non-stop while eating.

Without the constraints of master-servant hierarchy, everyone opened their hearts and spoke their minds. A night talk dispelled the slight unhappiness in Su Nuan's heart.

.

Peng Jian, the Minister of Rites, came in person to discuss the Crown Prince's marriage.

Su Nuan yawned as Peng Jian read out a series of etiquette and precautions, and said calmly: "Are all these necessary etiquettes for marrying a concubine?"

"No, this is based on the standards for His Highness to marry Concubine Xia. Some of it goes beyond the etiquette for concubines."

"That's against the rules. Remove the excess."

Peng Jian looked embarrassed, "This is not appropriate."

"What's wrong?"

"..."

“Since you can’t tell what’s wrong, please follow the rules, Mr. Peng.”

Of course Su Nuan knew that something was wrong. The power of the Marquis Zhongyuan's Mansion was comparable to that of the General's Mansion, and their daughters were all married in as concubines. There was no reason for the daughters of the Marquis Zhongyuan's Mansion to marry lower than those of the General's Mansion. Moreover, the Marquis Zhongyuan was marrying the eldest daughter who had the support of the Empress Dowager, so naturally the status of the daughters was greater.

If the Ministry of Rites really held this wedding according to the standards for marrying a concubine, it would offend Marquis Zhongyuan.

"Concubine Xia, should we discuss the marriage rules with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"No need. Since His Highness has given me full authority to handle it, I can represent his opinion."

"this......"

Peng Jian looked constipated and couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Master Peng, don't think about it anymore. It's settled." Su Nuan took out an invitation and handed it to Peng Jian. "Tomorrow, the UBS Building will reopen. I'm sending Master Peng an invitation. With this invitation, you can get a 20% discount on the entire venue. Master Peng, you must bring your wife to show your support!"

Peng Jian looked at the invitation in his hand and didn't know whether to accept it or not.

His mission was to discuss the procedure for the prince's marriage, and he had put a lot of thought into this procedure.

He thought that Concubine Xia would deliberately make things difficult for him and might cut some processes, so he included all the processes that could and could not be done. When Concubine Xia cut some, he only had to remove a few items that obviously exceeded the standards.

Who knew that Concubine Xia didn't play by the rules at all, and she deleted everything that was beyond the etiquette for a concubine right from the start, without even saying a word of courtesy.

You have to know that his immediate superior, the Minister of Rites, Lord Li, is the brother-in-law of Marquis Zhongyuan.

Dong Jingshu was going to call Lord Li "uncle". If her wedding was ruined, her future would be over.

Su Nuan didn't know about this relationship. She was focused on making money and didn't have the time to check these things.

But there was one thing she was clear about, that was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care at all about the specifications of the wedding, as long as the position of the principal wife was reserved for him.

So what else does she have to worry about? Just go for it. Even if the sky falls, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will support her.

I walked towards Duiyueju humming a little tune, and met Mu Yunting when I reached the garden.

"You're in a good mood. Have you reached an agreement with Lord Peng?" Mu Yunting asked.

"I think the deal has been reached, but I don't know if Lord Peng agrees." Su Nuan replied with a smile.

That's why the deal was not reached, but Mu Yunting saw that she was in a good mood and didn't want to ruin her good mood because of irrelevant things.

"Is your highness free tomorrow?"

"I'll see if I have time for anything."

"The UBS building will reopen tomorrow, and I would like to invite Your Highness to go and increase its popularity."

"it is good."

Su Nuan didn't expect Mu Yunting to agree, and she was extremely excited.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here in person, and if she gets the news out, she's afraid the door of the UBS building will be squeezed out.

"Then your highness is sure to do so. I will be waiting for you!"

"I'll go at noon and have lunch with you."

"Okay, lunch is on my table."

Su Nuan said it proudly.

After confirming with Mu Yunting that she would attend the reopening of UBS Building, Su Nuan happily returned to Duiyueju.

She called Cai Ya over and asked him to spread the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince would appear at the UBS Building tomorrow.

Cai Ya took the order and left, and the servant came to report that the waiter from Liangyi Zhai wanted to see him.

Under normal circumstances, if a waiter wanted to see the prince's concubine, he would not even have the chance to inform them, but the waiters in Liangyi Zhai were an exception.

The person who came was Song Qi. He was looking for Su Nuan because of Liu Qian's matter.

Liu Qian was from Pingzhou. His family had been in business for generations, and their businesses spread throughout the entire Nanzhao Kingdom.

But this man is very mysterious, and few people have seen his true face. This time he came to the imperial city and lived in a manor in the west city. He lived a secluded life and rarely went out. Most of the time, his followers did the work for him when he went out. The people who came to see Chen Shi were just his followers.

During the time Liu Qian was in the imperial city, he only visited Marquis Zhongyuan in person.

"It's Marquis Zhongyuan again!" Su Nuan muttered.

"Boss, in my opinion, this Liu Qian may not be the real one. He may just be a stand-in for Liu Qian."

"It's possible, but it doesn't matter. Whether it's a substitute or the original, the goal is the same. Have you found out the relationship between Liu Qian and Zhongyuan Hou?"

"There was business dealings, and the silk and tea Liu Qian sold to the palace was introduced by Marquis Zhongyuan. We haven't found any deeper connections yet."

"It's good to know their relationship. Whether it's a business partnership or some other relationship, Liu Qian's involvement in Zhusheng Street is inseparable from Zhongyuan Hou. I will remember this grudge."

"Does the boss have any other instructions?"

Song Qi asked.

Su Nuan thought for a moment and replied, "I want you to help me find out whether Cui Shaoyuan, who won the first place in the imperial examination six months ago, cheated in the examination."

Song Qi frowned and said nothing.

"I know this matter is difficult to investigate, especially since Cui Shaoyuan is already dead. But there are still a few people who know the inside story. A person named Zixin from Wenxuan Academy should know the inside story. You can start with this person to investigate."

"I will investigate this matter right away."

After Song Qi left, Su Nuan began to think about Liu Qian's matter. The other party wanted to get involved in her business, so it would be impolite if she didn't reciprocate.
