I just want to live a good life

"My Lady Concubine, your carriage is at the back."

Just as Su Nuan was about to get on the carriage, the coachman Zhang Song reminded her.

Following Zhang Song's gaze, they saw a carriage parked in front of the side door of the Prince's Mansion twenty meters away.

Su Nuan felt a little embarrassed and hurried towards the carriage. As she walked, she blamed the driver of the carriage behind her for being ignorant and parking the carriage so far away that she didn't see it. If she had really gotten on Mu Yunting's carriage and been kicked off, it would have been so embarrassing!

When Su Nuan arrived in front of her carriage, she was about to express her dissatisfaction, but the coachman spoke first.

He said to the servant who was leading the way beside Su Nuan, "Why did you lead the concubine to the main gate? According to the rules, we should go through the side gate. Don't you know?"

Although the coachman said this to the servant, he was actually speaking to Su Nuan, telling her that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Su Nuan recognized the coachman, whose name was Li Liu. He was the one who drove the coach for her when she returned home.

After hearing what Li Liu said, the servant immediately bowed his head and apologized to Su Nuan, "I'm sorry, Concubine, I'm new here and don't know the rules, so I led you the wrong way."

Su Nuan frowned and said to the servant, "There is nothing for you to do here, go back."

Walking twenty more meters was no big deal for her, but she was quite dissatisfied with the rule of going through the side door.

However, when Su Nuan got on the carriage, she found that there was a surprise waiting for her. Six peony flowers were neatly placed in the carriage, and next to them were six pieces of red silk folded neatly, which should be used to cover the flowers when she got off the carriage.

"His Royal Highness said that these flowers are most suitable for the Concubine. The Concubine knows how to take care of flowers and plants, and can take care of them on the road, so he asked someone to carry these flowers to your carriage."

Li Liu explained to Su Nuan why these flowers appeared here, and then continued: "My queen, the carriage is a little crowded, please be patient, I have prepared a cushion for you, if you are tired, you can lean on it for a while."

"Thank you!" Su Nuan said casually.

"My Lady Concubine, you are really embarrassing me by saying thank you."

The team heading to the palace set off. The carriage moved slowly along the road. Su Nuan stared at the flowers in the carriage for a while.

The original body, Xia Qingyan, had never entered the palace or met the emperor, so Su Nuan had no way to obtain relevant information from her memory, and she had never imagined in her life that one day she would have the opportunity to meet a real emperor.

It’s impossible to say I’m not nervous!

After an unknown amount of time, Li Liu whispered outside, "Madam Concubine, we are here. His Highness is waiting for you in front!"

Su Nuan looked out the car window and saw Mu Yunting standing in front with his hands behind his back, and a magnificent palace gate stood in front of her not far away.

Taking a deep breath, Su Nuan was about to get off the carriage when suddenly a voice of "Prince brother" interrupted her action.

She looked out the car window and saw Cheng Ansu walking towards Mu Yunting with a pretentious pace.

"is her?"

Su Nuan deliberately lingered in the carriage for a while, and only got out of the carriage slowly when Cheng Ansu walked to Mu Yunting's side.

She wanted to see how Mu Yunting would react when facing Cheng Ansu.

"Brother Crown Prince, what a coincidence, we actually met here."

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Mu Yunting said and cast a disdainful look at Cheng Ansu.

Su Nuan was very familiar with this expression, because almost every time she faced Mu Yunting, he would look down on her.

Su Nuan really hated the look in Mu Yunting's eyes, but when she saw it again in his eyes at this moment, she actually felt a little happy in her heart.

This at least proves that Mu Yunting doesn't just hate her.

Su Nuan was secretly happy because Cheng Ansu was despised, when suddenly Mu Yunting turned around, looked at her with even more disdain, and ordered, "Don't dawdle, walk faster."

"Sister Xia is here too!" Seeing Su Nuan, Cheng Ansu greeted her with a smile.

Mu Yunting frowned and said, "Miss Cheng, didn't Master Cheng teach you the rules? When did my concubine become your sister?"

"Brother Crown Prince, don't get me wrong. After what happened last time, the Concubine and I hit it off right away. I just think it would be closer to call each other sisters."

"Who are you? Don't think you can be so unbridled just because you are related to the Queen Mother. From now on, when you address us, you must follow the rules and call us 'Your Highness' and 'Concubine Xia'. Do you understand?"

"me……"

Faced with Mu Yunting's sudden change of expression, Cheng Ansu was obviously unable to adapt. Her face turned red and she stuttered for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.

Mu Yunting didn't give her the chance to finish her sentence. He took Su Nuan's hand and strode towards the palace gate.

"Your Highness, don't you know how to be gentle and considerate to women?"

After the two walked for a while, Su Nuan couldn't help but ask.

"Let me be gentle with her, does she deserve it?"

Mu Yunting replied indifferently.

Su Nuan cursed in her heart, but she had to admit that compared to Cheng Ansu, Mu Yunting was quite polite to her.

With this little episode with Cheng Ansu, Su Nuan's nervous mood relaxed a lot. She walked in the palace, looking around, feeling like visiting a tourist attraction.

This palace was really outrageously large. From the time they entered the palace gate, it took Su Nuan and Mu Yunting a quarter of an hour to walk out of a long corridor, and another quarter of an hour to reach their destination: Fengyi Palace.

This is just a corner of the palace.

According to the rules of the Nanzhao Kingdom, on the Queen's birthday, she must be worshipped in the Fengyi Palace.

Su Nuan and Mu Yunting arrived at Fengyi Palace and waited outside the palace with everyone else. When the time came, they entered the palace with everyone else.

Su Nuan followed Mu Yunting and had the honor of standing closest to the queen.

After the worship, the next step was to present birthday gifts to the Queen. As the crown prince and the Queen's biological son, the Crown Prince was naturally the first to present a gift.

When six peonies covered with red silk were moved in front of the queen, Su Nuan took a deep breath and walked towards the flowers.

She bowed to the queen and said, "I, your son, dare to lift up the red silk for you, the queen mother."

Although the queen was a little surprised, she still nodded slightly, agreeing to her request.

Su Nuan took a deep breath, calmed her mind, then lifted the red silk with both hands, taking the opportunity to secretly sprinkle the medicine powder in one hand on the peony buds.

When the red silk was lifted, the Queen was delighted to see several peonies, a variety she had never seen before.

"Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that you love peonies, so he personally found these treasures. His Royal Highness also raised these flowers himself, just to present them to you on your birthday. His Royal Highness really put a lot of thought into this gift."

Su Nuan said this while glancing at the prince, whose expression remained unchanged, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"The prince has always been filial. He knows that I love peonies, and the gift he prepared is exactly what I want." The queen said with a satisfied smile to Su Nuan.

"Look, the peonies are blooming."

Someone in the hall said this, drawing everyone's attention to the peony flowers.

I saw the flower buds slowly opening, the petals gradually stretching out, and the peony flowers slowly blooming in the eyes of everyone.

Seeing this scene, the queen was extremely surprised. "I have been raising flowers for so many years, but I have never seen the process of flowers blooming. This is amazing. Prince, how did you do it?"

Mu Yunting glanced at Su Nuan and said loudly, "I didn't do anything. I think Fairy Peony knew that today is Queen Mother's birthday, so she came to celebrate her birthday."

"Yes, it must be the Peony Fairy who has come to congratulate the Queen on her birthday."

One person agreed with the prince, and then everyone followed suit.

Everyone was not stupid, so they naturally knew that the blooming of the flower had nothing to do with the Peony Fairy. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was Su Nuan who did something, but since the prince didn't say it out loud, no one else would say it either.

Su Nuan didn't care about it. She did this for only one purpose, which was to gain more bargaining chips in the conversation with Mu Yunting.

Of course, she is also looking forward to this amazing effect.
