Chapter 490 I Didn’t Buy It for You
Su Nuan and Liao Xinyi returned to the Prince's Mansion with two large bags of clothes.
Kang Dahong and Manager Ding were the first to receive the clothes, and both came to express their gratitude.
The next one was Liefeng. Liefeng was happy but sad when he received the clothes. He thought about the one that was exchanged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and swore secretly in his heart that he would never wear this one in front of His Royal Highness.
He also received Falcon's share.
Then it was Ye Xiaobai's turn. Ye Xiaobai not only accepted his own share, but was also responsible for delivering their shares to Chu Qi, Su Qingmo, Song Qi and Manager Chen.
The remaining clothes also belonged to the three Xia family members. The Xia family was poor, and the three of them didn't like to dress up. They usually wore ordinary cotton robes, which made them look shabby when standing next to the nobles in the imperial city. Fortunately, the three of them were tall and handsome, and they looked good even without the clothes. These three people were the ones who supported the clothes.
Su Nuan thought that she would never let her father and brothers dress worse than the chefs in the Prince's Mansion. No matter how pretty their faces were, they could not be used as clothes. So she carefully selected clothes from the shop that were made of the best materials, had the finest workmanship, and had the brightest colors.
The three sets of clothes were placed aside, and there was one set given to Ye Yin. No matter from which aspect, there should be a set for Ye Yin. Su Nuan also specially chose the same style as her third brother but in a different color. When choosing clothes, she also imagined the effect when the two of them wore the clothes she gave them and stood together.
She planned to go back to the general's mansion tomorrow and deliver the clothes to the three sons of the Xia family herself.
Ye Yin’s approach is easy to handle, just pass it on to Mu Yunting.
Then Su Nuan looked at the last small package of clothes and became troubled. That was what Fusheng bought for Ying Shu. How was she going to hand it to Ying Shu?
It would be troublesome to go in person. It would not be easy to get rid of Lie Feng and Ye Xiaobai. Moreover, if Ying Shu asked her when she would leave the imperial city when they met, she would not know how to answer.
While Su Nuan was sitting in front of the table, staring at the dress in a daze, the Crown Prince came to Duiyueju.
Because he came in and out too frequently, the people in Duiyueju were no longer excited to see the Crown Prince, and they would not specifically inform Su Nuan.
So, when Mu Yunting came in, Su Nuan was still immersed in her own thoughts and didn't notice it at all. When she found someone standing next to her, Mu Yunting had already started to look through the clothes on the table.
"Is this for me?"
There was some joy in Mu Yunting's voice.
"No, that's for Ye Yin."
Su Nuan answered casually.
Mu Yunting paused, a little surprised and a little disappointed, but when he saw there were several more pieces next to him, he was not discouraged.
He touched a moon-white dress and asked, "This one is for me, right?"
This one is similar in style to the previous one, with cloud patterns embroidered on the collar.
"This one is for my third brother."
Su Nuan noticed that Mu Yunting's face fell a little, and suddenly realized something, and asked weakly: "Do you want a new dress too?"
Mu Yunting didn't answer, but just gave her a resentful look.
"A few days ago, the palace sent a batch of new clothes. I saw that you already had new clothes to wear, so I didn't buy any for you."
"The gifts from the palace weren't sent by you. You bought clothes for so many people but not for me. Do you have a place for me in your heart?"
Mu Yunting's tone was a little cold, and he sounded really angry.
Su Nuan originally felt guilty, but when she thought of the scene in the dim sum shop during the day, she immediately drove away the feeling of guilt in her heart, and then she said confidently: "Your Highness didn't think of me when he bought things. If I hadn't been thick-skinned and asked for it myself, how could I have eaten the dim sum that Your Highness bought."
"Is that why you don't buy me clothes?"
Of course not, I didn't buy it for you simply to save some money. But Su Nuan didn't dare to tell the truth.
Not answering means consent. Mu Yunting's attitude softened a little. It wasn't that he wanted an extra piece of clothing, but he was afraid that he had no status in her heart. If she didn't buy him clothes because of a misunderstanding, then he could totally accept that.
Seeing Su Nuan looking a little aggrieved, Mu Yunting said gently: "Okay, it was just a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to take Princess Wangyue to buy snacks. She wanted to buy them herself."
Mu Yunting wanted to add that he went in to buy her some snacks, but when he caught a glimpse of the clothes, he swallowed the words back.
Su Nuan cooperated and gave Mu Yunting a look that said "forgive you", but in her heart she said that if you don't want to take her to buy it, you don't have to go in.
The two of them waited for the snacks that Chunliu brought with their own thoughts.
Su Nuan didn't have much appetite, but when she took a look at the snacks, she found that they were all her favorites. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind: could the snacks in Princess Wangyue's hand be bought by Mu Yunting for her?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Su Nuan really wanted to ask Mu Yunting if it was what she thought, but in the end she didn't dare to ask. If it wasn't, she would be so disappointed.
Mu Yunting brought back too many snacks, and the people in Yueju couldn't finish them all. Su Nuan asked Chunliu to share them with the people in the mansion. The person in Furongyuan also had a share, and Su Nuan specially selected the sweetest one for her.
At dinner time, Mu Yunting was arranged by Manager Ding to go to worship the Kitchen God. Su Nuan wanted to go along, but Manager Ding said that it was best for women not to participate in the worship, so Su Nuan did not go along.
"My lady, I don't know where Luoyingxuan has gone. I went to bring her some snacks three times but didn't see her."
Leng Yue lives in Luoyingxuan. Chunliu doesn't like her and whenever he mentions her, he never calls her by her name but just says the one from Luoyingxuan.
Leng Yue had never taken the initiative to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since she moved in, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never visited her at Luoyingxuan. So, even though she lived in Luoyingxuan, everyone in the Crown Prince's Mansion assumed that she was a guest, so no one cared when she went out.
"Don't the maids in Luoyingxuan know where she went?"
"You're talking about magpie, I don't know where that girl ran off to."
As soon as Chunliu finished speaking, Meixiang continued, "Xi Que was originally a kitchen helper. After she went to serve at Luoyingxuan, she always went to the kitchen. She must be in the kitchen now. Does the queen want to find her?"
"No need, just go and ask her when Leng Yue went out and where she went."
Meixiang took the order and hurried out of Duiyueju.
At this time, Ye Xiaobai was quietly climbing over the wall in the back alley of Guang'an Palace.
