I just want to live a good life

Mu Yunting put on the clothes that Su Nuan specified, and then the two went to Duiyueju, where it was Su Nuan's turn to choose clothes.

This time Mu Yunting made a suggestion, but Su Nuan did not adopt it.

I chose a color that wasn't too eye-catching and put it on hastily.

She was not the protagonist tonight, but her outfit was too eye-catching and would have overshadowed everyone else. She liked to keep a low profile on such occasions.

The two of them dressed neatly and quickly got into the carriage, which drove all the way to the palace.

The original owner only remembered that Princess Jingyang was the emperor's most beloved daughter, and had no impression of other things.

When going to attend the welcoming banquet, Su Nuan felt that she needed to have a basic understanding of Princess Jingyang, so she asked some questions about Princess Jingyang on the way.

Princess Jingyang was not born to the Queen. Her biological mother was Concubine Xiao Shufei, who was three months older than Mu Yunting.

As the first child of the current emperor, Princess Jingyang was loved incomparable ways.

Others are honored because of their sons, but Concubine Xiao Shufei is honored because of her daughter. When Princess Jingyang was born, the current emperor was just a prince, and Concubine Xiao Shufei was just a concubine at that time. Because she gave birth to a lovely little princess, she was canonized as a concubine. After the current emperor ascended the throne, she was canonized as a concubine.

In other words, Concubine Xiao Shufei came to power entirely because the emperor loved Princess Jingyang.

Su Nuan labeled Princess Jingyang in her heart: a child who grew up being loved by the emperor.

When Princess Jingyang was fourteen years old, the emperor arranged a marriage for her to Xia Changxiao. Unfortunately, after they became adults, the marriage did not take place because Xia Changxiao injured his face on the battlefield.

The emperor's favorite daughter, Sheng Zhu, naturally had no trouble finding a husband. At that time, Cheng Yushu, the most handsome man in the imperial city, came into Princess Jingyang's sight.

The Cheng family was considered a prominent family in the imperial city decades ago, but unfortunately they were not prosperous. By the time of Cheng Yushu, the family had been passed down from generation to generation. Each generation was treated like a treasure, and they could not endure hardship or fatigue. They had neither fame nor the ability to expand their assets, and several generations had lived off their savings.

By the time of Cheng Yushu, the inheritance left by the ancestors of the Cheng family had been almost consumed. Fortunately, Cheng Yushu was hardworking and passed the imperial examination. He also caught the eye of Princess Jingyang because of his outstanding appearance and was married to this beautiful girl.

Soon after the marriage, Cheng Yushu was transferred to Jiangnan to take up a post. The newlyweds were in love and couldn't bear to be separated. Princess Jingyang happily followed her husband to take up the post.

I have been away for several years, and this time I came back probably because I missed home.

We had questions and answers and had a pleasant chat along the way. Before we knew it, we arrived at our destination.

When getting off the carriage, Su Nuan thought of the dress, so she looked at Mu Yunting and said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered something. Your Highness, I wore this dress not long ago."

After saying this, she waited for Mu Yunting's crazy reaction.

Then Mu Yunting was only slightly surprised and said two words with a smile: "Very good".

What?

Su Nuan suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

"I said 'very good'," Mu Yunting repeated.

"No, didn't you hear what I said? I said I wore this dress of yours! I didn't wash it!"

"Ah."

"Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"do not think so."

Su Nuan was a little disappointed. She thought she could drive Mu Yunting crazy with the clothes, but it turned out that he didn't care at all. She now seriously suspected that Mu Yunting was a germaphobe.

The palace was extremely lively at this time. The Queen and the concubines from all the palaces gathered in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

"Jingyang, how long can you stay this time?"

The Queen asked.

"I won't leave this time. Yu Shu has been in his current position for three years. It's time for the emperor to give him a decent official position."

Princess Jingyang's casual words made many people present look subtle.

As expected of the Emperor's most beloved daughter, only she dares to say such words.

"It's good that you're back. Come to the palace often to talk to me. Among all my grandchildren, Jingyang is the most caring."

"Grandmother, I will stay in the palace this time. I will not leave. I will come to accompany you every day from now on."

"You are just talking nonsense, kid. You are already married, how can you abandon your husband and his family to live in the palace with an old woman like me? If that were the case, I would be laughed at by others."

The Queen Mother has said this, so if Princess Jingyang continues to stay in the palace and refuses to leave, she would be really ignorant.

pity......

"Grandmother, I am accompanying you to show my filial piety. Who dares to laugh at you? Besides, this palace is my home. What's wrong with me coming back to live here?"

A trace of displeasure flashed across the Queen Mother's face. She glanced at the Queen, who received her gaze and said, "The Cheng family's house is a bit small. Jing Yang should also have her own princess's house. Let someone choose a good house and the young couple can move there."

Princess Jingyang's eyes sparkled, and she continued, "I haven't been able to eat or sleep well in the past few years in Jiangnan. I miss my father and mother so much. I finally came back, but why is my mother chasing me away?"

After he finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes and he looked like he was about to cry.

Su Nuan happened to witness this scene when she came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother and the Empress seemed relieved to see her.

The queen said with a smile, "Look who's here. The queen mother was still complaining a few days ago that she hadn't seen Concubine Xia for a while."

Su Nuan greeted everyone with a smile. She had heard their conversation a long time ago. Princess Jingyang planned to stay in the palace after she came back. The Queen Mother and the Empress took turns hinting at her not to do so, but it was of no use.

In addition to the emperor's concubines, there were also several ladies of high rank sitting in the room. At this moment, the ladies looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and seemed to not care at all where Princess Jingyang lived.

But Su Nuan still saw gossip on the faces of several people.

Who wouldn't be curious? A daughter who had been married for several years suddenly returned to her parents' home and said she would not leave. This must be a conflict with her husband's family. What kind of conflict? Was a princess also being bullied by her husband's family?

I was so anxious that I wanted Princess Jingyang to tell all the truth. But what were these people's identities? The women in the harem who could sit in the Queen Mother's Palace and chat were all very smart. They couldn't stand the jokes of the princess, let alone the emperor's favorite princess.

Su Nuan understood what these people were thinking not because she was smart, but because she was just like them, extremely curious but trying desperately to suppress her curiosity.

The maids and nannies in the Queen Mother's Palace were so alert when they saw Su Nuan. As soon as she appeared, chairs and snacks appeared. There were even soft cushions on the chairs, which was a treatment that concubines of lower ranks did not have. The maids who were as steady as old dogs in front of the Queen served Su Nuan carefully.

"Is this the Crown Prince's concubine?"

Princess Jingyang looked at Su Nuan curiously.

Su Nuan keenly noticed that there was a hint of flattery in Princess Jingyang's gaze.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Su Nuan shook her head silently. She felt that she was probably too narcissistic.
