Chapter 504 There is such a thing
The Crown Prince's escape and the fact that Prince Jing'an was labeled as having bad breath, these two things together really made Su Nuan laugh for a while.
This effect was exactly what she wanted when she helped Mu Yunting choose clothes, but she didn't expect it to be achieved here unexpectedly.
However, the fact that Mu Yunting was afraid of saliva did remind her that she hadn't seen a rash on his face for a long time. Could it be that he had been kissed so many times by her that he had become immune to it?
This matter needs to be verified later.
When they entered the hall, there were already many people sitting inside. Su Nuan actually saw her parents and elder brother in the crowd. It was normal for them to be invited to the palace banquet as the emperor's in-laws.
Su Nuan went to look for her parents and elder brother without thinking, but was stopped by Princess Jingyang halfway.
"Why did you take so long to come? I've been waiting for you."
As he said this, he pushed Su Nuan towards the group of women.
Su Nuan didn't want to go, but it was hard to refuse, so she could only say, "Slow down, slow down, let me go say hello to my parents and my eldest brother."
"No hurry, no hurry, say hello here first, and I'll accompany you to meet General Xia and Madam Xia later."
Su Nuanxin said that you don’t need to accompany her.
After walking a few steps, Princess Jingyang instead of pushing her arm pulled Su Nuan into the crowd of women.
They were all women, so it was not convenient for Mu Yunting to follow them. Moreover, he was surrounded by a group of people. Otherwise, he would not have let Jing Yang take them away easily.
He could only deal with the people around him while keeping an eye on Princess Jingyang, fearing that she would seriously injure his concubine.
Here, as soon as Su Nuan and Princess Jingyang joined, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
After a quick glance, Su Nuan was surprised to find that Princess Guang'an and Xun Zheng were both there.
Su Nuan recognized the others, they were all wives of noble families, but she didn't interact with them often and was not familiar with them. Seeing that these people were about the same age as Princess Jingyang, they must be her close friends.
So were Princess Guang'an and Xun Zheng also good friends?
If their relationship is like this, then what is the cooperation between Princess Guang'an and her?
Su Nuan was thinking, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was weird. The women were originally standing in a circle and talking, but now everyone in the circle was staring at her. It felt like a kindergarten kid barging into the "tea party" of sixth grade sisters.
Everyone greeted Su Nuan, and did not end the topic because of her joining. They just looked at her politely while speaking.
Su Nuan didn't understand why Princess Jingyang was so interested in her even though they were obviously not on the same wavelength.
"It's a pity that Prince Guang'an's five-colored glass cup was stolen, otherwise it would be perfect for holding the fruit wine that Jingyang brought back."
"The fruit wine is bright in color. I think it would be better if served in a white jade cup."
"It's not something precious, so why would it be worth using a colorful glass cup or a white jade cup? What does it mean that the colorful glass cup was stolen? Did a thief break into the Guang'an Palace?"
The one who spoke was Princess Jingyang. The reactions of the others were normal, and their eyes were all on Princess Guang'an. Only Princess Guang'an and Xun Zheng looked at Su Nuan at the same time.
"I heard that the thieves also hurt Yingyue. I was worried that Yingyue would not come to the banquet today."
Yingyue is the name of Princess Guang'an. When a woman gets married, she follows her husband and is addressed as Madam or Concubine. The fact that they can call each other by their names directly shows that they have a close relationship.
But Su Nuan's focus was not on Princess Guang'an's maiden name. She was thinking that the topic still came to this point.
"Thieves nowadays are so bold that they even dare to break into the palace."
"Hasn't anyone been caught yet?"
Princess Guang'an shook her head.
"Alright, alright, we finally get together and we're talking about some petty thief!"
Princess Jingyang interrupted the discussion impatiently, and then said excitedly: "Do you know why I want to bring Concubine Xia here?"
Everyone smiled and shook their heads, but the look in Su Nuan's eyes showed that she didn't believe they didn't know the reason.
But the sad thing is that she herself doesn't know the reason.
Su Nuan was waiting for Princess Jingyang to reveal the answer, and then she was pushed between Princess Guang'an and Xun Zheng.
"Look how interesting these three people are standing together. One is the one who almost married the prince, one is the one who is about to marry the prince, and the other is the one who has already married the prince."
After saying this, Princess Jingyang started laughing for no apparent reason.
Su Nuan was stunned. She really didn't know what was so funny about it.
She glanced at Princess Jingyang as if she was crazy, then quickly glanced at the people on both sides. Seeing that these two people were calm, she couldn't help but give them a thumbs up. Their mental quality is really good!
After being amazed, she pondered over Princess Jingyang's words again. Her brain had just short-circuited because of what she said, but now she understood the meaning of her words.
I am the one who has married the prince, Xun Zheng is the one who is about to marry the prince, and the one who almost married the prince is Princess Guang'an, right?
She really didn't know about this.
She had always thought that Princess Guang'an and Xun Zheng were enemies because of Prince Guang'an, but now it seemed that it might be because of Mu Yunting.
Thinking of this, Su Nuan couldn't help but look up at Mu Yunting in the crowd.
So... hiring?
No one agreed with Princess Jingyang. She laughed for a while but felt bored so she stopped laughing and complained to the people around her, "Why aren't you laughing?"
Although no one laughed with her, they all looked at her with smiles in their eyes.
Su Nuan now knows very well what kind of person Princess Jingyang is. She is mentally ill.
She felt that it was a waste of time for her to stay here with her, so she calmed down, forced a smile, and said to Princess Jingyang: "Your Highness, the Royal Grandmother just asked me to do something. You guys chat first, I'll be back soon."
After Su Nuan finished speaking, she pushed through the crowd and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Princess Jingyang grabbed her arm.
"I haven't asked you yet, what does the Imperial Grandmother want you to do?"
Su Nuan smiled and replied, "The Empress Dowager said that I am not allowed to tell anyone before the matter is settled. If you really want to know, you should ask the Empress Dowager yourself. I dare not tell you."
It was wise to put the blame on the Queen Mother. Although Princess Jingyang was not satisfied, she stopped pestering her.
After Su Nuan successfully broke out of the encirclement, she walked straight towards Madam Xia.
Mrs. Xia was chatting with a few other ladies. Su Nuan greeted them and then pulled Mrs. Xia aside, and the mother and daughter started to talk in private.
Su Nuan eagerly inquired about the fact that Princess Guang'an almost married the prince.
This matter was not widely spread, but Mrs. Xia really knew about it.
At that time, the Emperor had granted marriage to Xia Changxiao and Princess Jingyang, and General Xia and his wife were frequently summoned to the palace. So Madam Xia heard the general situation from Concubine Xiao Shufei.
At that time, the Xun family had just been ransacked and exterminated, and the prince was depressed all day long.
The Queen wanted to choose a marriage for him to bring him happiness, so the person she chose was Lu Yingyue, who was still unmarried.
Like Madam Xia, Madam Lu was frequently summoned to the palace, and then the marriage between the prince and Princess Jingyang was settled.
Just when the Lu family was happily preparing to marry off their daughter, Prince Guang'an suddenly appeared and said that he had long been in love with Lu Yingyue and was determined to marry her. For this reason, he even went to kneel and beg the emperor.
It would be very unpleasant if the prince stole his uncle's beloved woman.
So the emperor did not hesitate at all. While blaming Prince Guang'an for not going to the Lu family to propose marriage earlier and causing such a misunderstanding, he quickly arranged the marriage between Prince Guang'an and Lu Yingyue.
After they got married, they were quickly driven away to their fiefdom.
After hearing this, Su Nuan smacked her lips, thinking that there is actually such a thing.
It was most likely Xun Zheng who instigated Prince Guang'an to suddenly propose to Lu Yingyue.
If this happened to me, I would be so angry that I would die. Although neither of the two men loved her, one was the crown prince and the future emperor, and the other was a useless prince. Even a fool would know which one she would marry for a future.
What's more, Lu Yingyue is very likely to be in love with the prince.
