Chapter 371: Not even a bite of food for her
Su Nuan thought carefully and realized that it was after she returned to the Prince's Mansion that Xun Zheng's way of addressing Mu Yunting changed.
He used to call him Brother Yunting, but now he even calls him Your Highness.
She guessed it was because of her status.
That’s right, how can a Crown Princess call the Crown Prince “Brother” every day?
It would be fine if the name just changed, but could the personality also change? She used to be cool and reserved on the surface, but she was scheming behind the scenes. Now her intention to steal the man is so obvious, is she too disdainful to pretend?
It’s all because of her position as the Crown Princess. If she were asked to marry a groom, she would definitely not be so enthusiastic.
Su Nuan took two steps back, put some distance between herself and Mu Yunting, and started watching the show with her arms folded.
"Your Highness, why are you still standing there? I have asked people to prepare food. Come on, I have a surprise for you."
Xun Zheng looked innocent as she spoke, looking like a young girl.
Mu Yunting's eyes became gentle.
Su Nuan guessed that this brought back memories from the past. It turned out that the feelings between childhood sweethearts were incomparable to anyone else!
Feeling jealous, she subconsciously touched her belly, thinking that the little guy came at the wrong time, delaying your mother from rushing to the border to select handsome men.
"Would Concubine Xia like to join us?"
Su Nuan was picturing the border scene in her mind when she was suddenly interrupted by Xun Zheng.
"I'm not going." Su Nuan said coldly, "I want to go back and paint foxes."
what?
Xun Zheng didn't understand what she meant by this, but Mu Yunting knew. He still remembered the little foxes she drew, which were so lifelike. Now he suddenly felt that those foxes had a hidden meaning.
"Concubine Xia's hobby is really special."
Xun Zheng said this dryly, then turned around and greeted Mu Yunting with a smile.
"I will not disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his friends from drinking. I will take my leave now."
After Su Nuan finished speaking, she walked away without caring about Mu Yunting's reaction.
I wore too much today and was sweating from the extensive activities in Fengyi Palace. Now I feel sticky all over. The important thing for me to do is go back and take a shower and change clothes.
Besides, she didn’t know what the situation was with Xinyi, so how could she be in the mood to watch the performance of the male and female foxes?
Mu Yunting was thrown to Xun Zheng by Su Nuan. After sulking for a while, he was pulled away by Xun Zheng.
When Su Nuan returned to Duiyueju, Madam Wang had already prepared a table full of delicious food for her, all of which were her favorites.
But she was not in a hurry because she had a plate of snacks at the bottom.
I asked Chunliu to prepare hot water, took a hot bath, changed my clothes and then sat down at the dining table.
There aren't that many rules in Duiyueju. As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not around, everyone will often sit together to eat.
Today's meal is sumptuous, and Su Nuan invites everyone to join in.
Meixiang got some plum wine she made herself.
Not only is she an expert at making tea, she is also good at making various fruit wines.
Just like this plum wine, it is sour and sweet, delicious and appetizing.
Su Nuan usually likes to drink, but today she could only watch. Doctor Yao specifically told her not to drink, and everyone kept these words in mind.
In fact, even if Imperial Physician Yao hadn't told Su Nuan, she would have known to quit drinking. But since Imperial Physician Yao had said it, she didn't have to make excuses for herself anymore.
While eating, Su Nuan thought about a question: if she left the Prince's Mansion, where would these people go?
Chunliu is a servant boy of the General's Mansion and will probably return to the Mansion. Baozhu is also the manager of the flower garden and even if she leaves Duiyueju, she should be able to find a place in the Prince's Mansion. Meixiang has her own skills and will not have trouble finding a job, but Madam Wang will most likely leave.
Thinking of this, Su Nuan asked, "Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"
"From now on, won't you just serve the queen?"
Chunliu replied.
Meixiang and Baozhu both nodded in agreement.
Only Madam Wang was thinking about this issue seriously.
Su Nuan said: "How can you serve me forever? You have to get married eventually. Have you ever thought about what to do after you get married?"
A few people were confused, but Chun Liu spoke up, "When His Highness ascends the throne, we will follow His Majesty to the palace to serve her. We have never thought about getting married."
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor is in good health, and it will be many years before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes the throne. You should get married first, and entering the palace is still so far away, so don't think about it now. I treat you as my sisters, and I hope to see you get married, have children, and have your own happy family."
When it comes to getting married and having children, Chunliu, Meixiang and Baozhu are all a little embarrassed, but only Madam Wang looks calm.
So Su Nuan asked Madam Wang to express her ideas first.
Madam Wang did not refuse and said frankly: "To be honest with you, Concubine, I have no intention of following you into the palace. It's not that I don't want to cook for you, but I really don't like places like the palace. There are so many rules, and you have to be very careful about everything you do. I'm afraid I can't do it."
Su Nuan nodded in agreement.
"I thought that if the concubine follows His Highness into the palace someday, I would resign. I have saved a little money and want to open a small restaurant by myself, be the shopkeeper, and be free."
Su Nuanxin said that it is not necessarily possible to be free, as there are many things to do when running a restaurant, but doing what you like should also be free.
She admired this about Lady Wang. She was probably one of the few women of this era who had her own ideas and plans for her future.
"I'm really happy that you have such a plan. I support your idea of opening a restaurant. There is a restaurant in the Prince's Mansion. Tomorrow I will send you to be the chef. When you are familiar with it, I will let you be the manager."
"Ah? Is the Concubine trying to chase me away?"
"How could that be? I'm letting you gain some experience in opening a restaurant. Then we can open a restaurant together and make it big."
"really?"
Madam Wang was both surprised and delighted, because she had never dared to think of opening a big restaurant.
"Then can we open a restaurant as big as Tianxianglou?"
"Of course we can. If we are going to open a restaurant, let's open one that is bigger than Tianxianglou. But there are a lot of things to manage when opening a restaurant of that size. Are you afraid?"
"Don't worry, don't worry. No matter how big a restaurant is, the kitchen is the most important. I will manage the kitchen and hire a manager to take care of other things. The waiters will take care of the guests."
"You can't just be in charge of the kitchen. You have to know everything. Otherwise, you won't make any money."
"Okay, I'll start learning from the kitchen tomorrow."
Madam Wang's eyes sparkled when she said this.
But after a while, she was no longer happy.
"what happened?"
Su Nuan asked.
Madam Wang replied, "If I go to the restaurant, I won't be able to cook for the Concubine anymore."
Su Nuan smiled slightly, "It's not like I can't go out. I can just go and eat what you cook whenever I want."
At this moment, she was thinking, in a few months we will get together outside, and then we can eat together every day.
"Then I will compile a few dishes that Concubine Madam likes to eat into a recipe and leave it to Senior Brother. If Concubine Madam can't wait to leave the house to find me, I will ask Senior Brother to cook it for you first."
"To be honest, Kang Dahong's cooking skills are far inferior to yours. He may not be able to cook your specialty dishes as well as you do."
Madam Wang was startled, and Su Nuan continued, "It's better to give the recipe to me than to give it to him. I can also study cooking when I have nothing to do."
In fact, what she was thinking was that if the recipe was given to Kang Dahong, then it would benefit all the masters in the Prince's Mansion, including Xun Zheng. She didn't even want to leave this little treat to her.
