I just want to live a good life

There was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air, and Su Nuan was immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.

"What are you doing?"

Mu Yunting's cold voice sounded, and Su Nuan came back to her senses.

It turned out that Mu Yunting had already let go of her wrist at some point, but she was still holding her hand up stupidly.

Su Nuan felt embarrassed for a moment, but Mu Yunting sat down and continued to eat the cake.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Su Nuan also picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth, but she didn't notice that what she took was a piece of "special" flavor. The strong bitter taste spread in her mouth, and Su Nuan's face was deformed by the bitterness.

Mu Yunting noticed her change and asked, "Is this your surprise flavor again?"

Su Nuan nodded helplessly.

Mu Yunting picked a piece of the same flavor and took a small bite, then frowned slightly, "Don't make this weird flavor again in the future, I don't like it."

"Oh."

"I'm full, you can go back."

"Oh."

Su Nuan walked out carrying the lunch box, but she walked very slowly because she always felt that she had something important to do.

Suddenly she remembered what Xia Qingyao had asked her to do, so she turned around and said to Mu Yunting, "Your Highness, I have something I want to ask you for help with."

"what's up?"

"It's about my sister Xia Qingyao."

"..."

"You know that the Emperor wanted to arrange a marriage between you and your sister, but due to some misunderstandings, your sister was unable to marry His Highness. I married His Highness in her place. Now that your sister was arranged to marry His Highness, she cannot be with her lover. Your Highness, can you help your sister be a matchmaker?"

Mu Yunting pondered for a moment and asked, "Why should I help her? As far as I know, Xia Qingyao did a lot of things to avoid marrying me."

"..."

Su Nuan was speechless. Indeed, from Mu Yunting's point of view, there was no reason to help Xia Qingyao.

Xia Qingyao felt that the Crown Prince had feelings for his concubine, which was why she asked Su Nuan to help her speak in front of the Crown Prince. However, Su Nuan knew in her heart that the Crown Prince's affection for her was only for outsiders to see, and she could not convince Mu Yunting to do her a favor with this.

"My sister didn't want to marry His Highness because she already had a lover. If my sister insisted on marrying His Highness even though she already had a lover, I don't think His Highness would like such a woman."

"You're right. She wants to get married, but I don't." Mu Yunting said calmly, "But even so, I have no reason to be her matchmaker."

"Why not? Your Highness has already established a connection with the Xia family by marrying me. If you help my sister act as a matchmaker, you are also helping the Xia family. Daddy and the entire Xia family will remember your Highness' kindness."

Mu Yunting chuckled and said, "Do you think I care about this?"

"..."

Su Nuan took a deep breath and continued, "If Your Highness doesn't help me, my sister will have to marry a centurion under my father's command. Then Your Highness will have to be a brother-in-law to a centurion. Does Your Highness not care about this?"

"..."

Mu Yunting frowned slightly. Just when Su Nuan thought he would care about this, Mu Yunting said, "It doesn't matter. If he really becomes my brother-in-law, I can promote him."

"Your Highness, don't you even ask who my sister's sweetheart is?" Su Nuan asked.

"Prince Yongping."

In fact, this is not really a secret. Before, there were rumors flying around the imperial city about the two sisters of the Xia family, one of which was that the Prince of Yongping had an affair with Miss Xia.

"The Prince of Yongping and my sister love each other, but the Prince of Yongping refuses to let the Prince marry my sister because of Your Highness's face. If Your Highness can persuade the Prince of Yongping to make the marriage between the two possible, not only the Xia family, but I think the Prince will also be grateful to Your Highness."

"Do you want me to help them?" Mu Yunting asked Su Nuan.

"of course."

Mu Yunting stared at Su Nuan's eyes for a long time, which made Su Nuan feel a little uncomfortable. "Xia Qingyao is my sister. I also hope that she can be with the one she loves and have a good home!"

"Okay, I'll find time to talk to Prince Yongping about this."

Su Nuan thought she would have to spend some time talking, but she didn't expect it to be so easy. She quickly said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Is it just a thank you?"

"So what does Your Highness want?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I do."

Isn't this just asking her to owe someone a favor? Su Nuan weighed it in her mind. She felt that what Mu Yunting asked her to do wouldn't be too difficult. After all, she was just a concubine, and she couldn't do anything beyond her ability.

Despite this, she still made some explanations before agreeing to Mu Yunting: "Your Highness, please don't ask me to do anything too difficult. I can't do it."

Mu Yunting replied: "No, with your ability you will definitely be able to do well!"

Su Nuan looked at Mu Yunting suspiciously. She felt that Mu Yunting was not without thinking it through. He had already planned what he wanted her to do, but the time was not right and he didn't want to say it.

If that was the case, then what he asked her to do would not be easy at all. But Su Nuan was not afraid, because she had the Crown Prince behind her. If she couldn't do anything else, she could just bring up the title of Crown Prince. She didn't believe that anyone would not give her face.

After the two reached an agreement, Su Nuan happily returned to her Duiyue Residence.

Since Mu Yunting promised to help, he would not go back on his word. Moreover, he had something for Su Nuan to do, so he could do his best to promote the marriage between Xia Qingyao and Mu Yunshu as Su Nuan wished.

With the help of the prince, this matter is almost certain to succeed.

By then, Xia Qingyao would owe Su Nuan a favor. Given Xia Qingyao's intelligence, this favor would still carry a lot of weight in Su Nuan's eyes.

"Mrs. Concubine, Mrs. Concubine!"

Before Su Nuan could even take a sip of tea, Cai Ya's voice came over.

"Ying Shu is leaving again."

Before anyone entered the house, these words had already reached Su Nuan's ears.

"Where is he going? Didn't Mr. Yue send a letter yesterday saying that he would leave the imperial city early this morning?"

Su Nuan stood up from the chair in an instant, muttering, "You're such a grown-up, why are you so troublesome!"

"My Lady Concubine, please go and have a look. I can't stop him this time. Ying Shu is determined to leave."

"Didn't we agree not to leave last time? Why is he leaving again?"

"This... this... maybe he heard some bad words and couldn't stay here any longer."

"What? Who said that?" Su Nuan asked.

"You'd better not listen to it, my lady. It might pollute your ears."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Cai Ya gritted her teeth and said, "Imperial Doctor Yao said that Yingshu's wound has begun to heal and he can get out of bed and walk around. I just took him out of the room for a walk. You know that Yingshu's residence is very close to the servants' residence. As soon as we went out, we heard someone not far away saying bad things about Concubine He Yingshu, saying... that Yingshu was a gigolo picked up by the Concubine, and that he was seducing the Concubine while seducing Your Highness. Yingshu got anxious when he heard that and insisted on leaving. I had no choice but to tie him up with a rope."

Su Nuan burst out laughing after hearing this. It would be fine if Ying Shu flirted with her, but saying that he seduced Mu Yunting was something no man could tolerate.

"Come on, take me to see who is so talented as to come up with something like this!"
