Chapter 285 Who is that person?
Having dinner with friends is a happy thing.
When you are in a good mood, you have a good appetite, and when your appetite is good, you eat more delicious food. Su Nuan ate until her belly was full.
After dinner, the two chatted for a while, but Liao Xinyi had to leave first because she had something else to do.
After the two said goodbye, Su Nuan went to Piaoxiang Tea House first.
Su Nuan was surprised to find out that Su Qingmo had gone to visit a client when she didn't see him in the shop.
“He’s been here for just one day and he already has a client?”
Shopkeeper Qiu replied, "He was Shopkeeper Zheng's distinguished guest. Since Shopkeeper Zheng left, that distinguished guest has not bought tea from our tea house. Mr. Su wanted to try his luck. Mr. Su has good intentions, but I'm afraid that coming here like this will not have much effect."
The temptation of twenty taels of silver is indeed great. Su Nuan thought that if she were in Su Qingmo's shoes, she would also try her luck.
"It's always good to try."
As soon as Su Nuan finished speaking, Su Qingmo's voice came from outside the door.
"Shopkeeper Qiu, hurry up, hurry up and buy ten kilograms of premium Taiping Houkui tea, ten kilograms of premium Huangshan Maofeng tea, and fifteen kilograms of first-class jasmine tea..."
Before anyone showed up, Su Qingmo's mouth was already making popping noises, crackling non-stop.
"Mr. Su, you are not kidding me, are you?"
Shopkeeper Qiu asked in disbelief.
"Hey, Manager Qiu, what's wrong with you? Can I joke about this? Get ready quickly, our guests are waiting for tea."
Su Qingmo took time out of his busy schedule to say hello to Su Nuan, and then took Shopkeeper Qiu to prepare the goods.
Su Nuan knew that he was capable, but she didn't expect him to be so capable. The very next day after he arrived, he snatched back a customer that had previously been held by Manager Zheng.
This guy is born to be a businessman. If he can open a shop steadily, it will be no problem for him to make himself a little rich.
Is there any way to make this guy calm down and settle down to do business?
Madam Wang flashed across Su Nuan’s mind.
After leaving Piaoxiang Tea House, Su Nuan wanted to go to the Ministry of Justice to see her third brother, but she was stopped halfway. It was a guard from the Prince's Mansion who had been looking for her for a long time.
"Concubine Xia, the Emperor is summoning you to the palace!"
"Going to the palace again? What's the matter?" Su Nuan asked impatiently.
"I heard that the Emperor is going to host a welcoming ceremony for Prince Guang'an, and he has summoned you and the Crown Prince to the palace together. However, I cannot see the Crown Prince, so I have no choice but to come to you."
Mu Yunting announced to the public that he was beaten by the emperor and should be "recuperating in Duiyueju" at this moment.
Su Nuan guessed that Mu Yunting went out this time without the emperor's knowledge, so she had to come forward to cover for him at this time.
After sending away the guard who came to report the news, Su Nuan asked the falcon to take her into the palace.
"My Lady Concubine, aren't you going back to change your clothes?"
Falcon kindly reminded.
Su Nuan looked down. She was in a hurry to go out today, so she was dressed casually. But she was not the protagonist today, so there was no need to dress up.
"No need to change, just go like this."
Falcon drove the carriage and took Su Nuan to the gate of the palace.
Chun Liu accompanied Su Nuan into the palace. This was Chun Liu's first time entering the palace, so she was inevitably a little nervous and even walked in a panic.
The eunuch who led the way brought the two to the gate of Chongxiao Palace.
Someone else in the hall led the two men to their seats.
When Su Nuan almost reached her seat, she found that the seat belonging to the Crown Prince's Mansion was already occupied by someone. This person was none other than Dong Jingshu, another concubine of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The two looked at each other, and Su Nuan curled her lips, "If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have come."
She doesn't like going into the palace.
Dong Jingshu replied: "If I knew Sister Xia was coming, I wouldn't have come."
Uh, something seems wrong.
"Isn't His Highness with you?"
Dong Jingshu asked.
Su Nuan answered casually: "Your Highness suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous before leaving."
"Sis Xia should stay in the mansion to take care of His Highness since he is so seriously ill. How could you abandon His Highness alone?"
Dong Jingshu complained.
Su Nuan felt that what she said was sincere, and replied: "That's why I said, 'If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have come'! After all, it's the emperor's banquet, and if no one comes to the prince's mansion, wouldn't it be a disrespect to the emperor and Prince Guang'an?"
Dong Jingshu was stunned and said nothing more.
People attending the welcoming banquet entered the hall one after another. Su Nuan looked at them one by one, but there were not many people she recognized.
She seldom attended banquets in the palace, let alone her original owner, who was a troublemaker. General Xia and Madam Xia did not dare to bring her into the palace.
Su Nuan stared at the door for a long time, but didn't see General Xia and his wife, nor did she see Cui Ruyi, and even didn't see the annoying Marquis Zhongyuan.
"Are only the royal family members invited to today's palace banquet?"
Su Nuan muttered softly.
"Of course, don't you see that there is a person named Mu at every table here?"
Su Nuan didn't expect Dong Jingshu to respond to her words. She scanned the area again according to her instructions, but sadly found that she didn't know many people with the surname Mu.
But there was one person that concerned her a lot. That person kept looking at her with bad intentions.
"Who is that person?"
Su Nuan asked Dong Jingshu.
"Sister Xia, don't you know who that person is?" Dong Jingshu was very surprised.
"Should I know?"
Su Nuan was not sure. She had a good memory and she had never seen that person before!
Dong Jingshu looked at Su Nuan as if she was a fool for a while, then turned her head away silently and ignored her.
"Hey, you're still pulling it off!"
Su Nuan turned around and called Chun Liu, asking her to find out who the man who had been looking at this side was.
"My lady, that is King Ankang!"
Chun Liu didn't ask, but spoke directly into Su Nuan's ear.
Su Nuan understood. No wonder he looked at her with hostility. King Ankang probably wished she was dead at this moment.
If she hadn't returned in time, the "murderer" who killed her son would have been dead by now.
A reckless man, this is how Su Nuan evaluated King Ankang.
When King Ankang's gaze swept towards Su Nuan again, Su Nuan bravely raised her middle finger towards him. Although this action was contrary to her identity as a lady, at this moment she could only think of using this method to express her dissatisfaction with King Ankang.
King Ankang naturally didn't understand what Su Nuan meant by giving her the middle finger, but referring to the expression on Su Nuan's face, he guessed that it was not a good thing to say.
So the eyes that were originally full of malice were filled with a bit of murderous intent.
As expected, he was a general who could compete with Xia Lian. His aura was intimidating. If the enemies on the battlefield saw him like this, they would be scared out of their wits. However, Su Nuan did not buy it and instead gave King Ankang a vicious look.
The two of them competed with each other for a while from a distance, and finally they stopped fighting because they felt their eyes were sore and their faces were cramped.
But the behavior of these two people has stunned everyone around them who noticed them.
"This Concubine Xia is indeed not an ordinary person."
"I think that's extremely stupid. How can a concubine of the Crown Prince dare to challenge the King of Ankang? Where does she get the confidence from?"
"She is in great favor. I heard that the prince loves her very much."
