I just want to live a good life

Chapter 238: Prince Guang'an

Su Nuan discovered a man who was better looking than Mu Yunshu, and she was guessing his identity.

According to the seating arrangement, this man sat opposite County Magistrate Mei and before Mu Yunshu, which meant that this man was a member of the royal family and had a higher status than Mu Yunshu.

I heard before that Xiaomian County was the fief of Prince Guang'an, so I guess this man is Prince Guang'an.

This Prince Guang'an, like Prince Guangping, is the younger brother of the current emperor. Because his biological mother was of low status and he himself had no talent, he was not made a king until the current emperor ascended the throne. After that, he lived in his fiefdom and seldom returned to the imperial city.

Su Nuan has no resistance to all beautiful things. When faced with a handsome man and it is their first time meeting, her eyes are full of curiosity and exploration.

Mu Yunting saw it and wanted to pick up this imperial uncle and throw him out.

"This must be Concubine Xia, right? Seeing is believing. I offer a toast to Concubine Xia."

Prince Guang'an said this and raised his glass towards Su Nuan.

Su Nuan smiled back and reached out to take the cup in front of her, but was snatched away by Mu Yunting.

"Her leg injury hasn't healed yet, so she shouldn't drink. I'll drink this cup for her."

"The prince is really kind and gentle to women!"

Prince Guang'an drank the wine in his glass and gave Su Nuan a meaningful look.

She was not even allowed to drink Prince Guang'an's toast, and no one else dared to toast Su Nuan. Mei Changli raised his glass and suggested that everyone drink together to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Xia to Xiaomian County.

After one drink, everyone started chatting.

This place is different from the imperial city, there are not so many rules, and men and women are chatting enthusiastically together.

Su Nuan noticed that most of the men present brought their families with them, but there was no trace of the princess beside Prince Guang'an. Could it be that Prince Guang'an was a widower?

This man looks to be only in his thirties, and he doesn’t look like he has lost his wife. There is no woman around him. Could he be a romantic man like Mu Yunting?

Su Nuan was studying Prince Guang'an when suddenly a piece of venison was put into her mouth. She turned around and saw Mu Yunting feeding her, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

She didn't mind showing affection, especially in front of the noble ladies who coveted her man.

She smiled sweetly at Mu Yunting and ate the piece of venison.

Unfortunately, I was so happy that I didn't notice that the people around me were already jealous.

Su Nuan tasted the venison with a bite. Just as she was about to pick up the chopsticks to pick up another piece, she heard Prince Guang'an say, "I heard that the prince has been in Xiaomian County for some time, but he didn't make it public. Was he sent by the emperor to investigate the case secretly?"

This was almost like asking directly whether the emperor had sent the prince to investigate the governor of Mei County, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.

Su Nuan looked at King Guang'an again. It was good for this man not to speak, because once he spoke, his arrogant aura was revealed.

Prince Guang'an felt Su Nuan's gaze and glanced at her unintentionally.

Su Nuan was very familiar with the emotion in this look. This was the way Mu Yunting looked at her when she first married into the Prince's Mansion.

They are indeed a family, even their arrogant expressions are similar.

However, Prince Guang'an has a handsome appearance and lacks the graciousness of Mu Yunting, so arrogance becomes a minus point on his face.

Su Nuan silently said "what a pity" in her heart.

"Uncle Wang knows my whereabouts very well." Mu Yunting said this lightly, but the people who heard it were already on edge.

What does it mean to secretly inquire about the prince's whereabouts?

If he was suspected of having rebellious intentions, he would be in big trouble even if he was the King of Guang'an.

The scene was eerily quiet for a while.

The only one who can achieve such an effect with just one sentence is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

As everyone was watching, Prince Guang'an said calmly, "I only knew that a mysterious person suddenly came to Xiaomian County, but I didn't know it was the Crown Prince. I only found out today when I received the invitation from Lord Mei that the Crown Prince was here in person."

"I was ordered by the Emperor to look for the envoys from the Kingdom of Fanli. I passed through Xiaomian County and did not reveal my identity for the sake of convenience. I thought I would come quietly, but I did not expect that my uncle's people had already noticed me. My uncle is really alert."

"Since this is my fiefdom, I should be more vigilant and not let anyone in. If a spy sneaks in, I will be sorry to my brother the emperor."

"It is the county magistrate's duty to protect the safety of a county. If there are spies, it is also the county magistrate's responsibility. Uncle Wang did what a county magistrate should do, and he helped Lord Mei a lot. Lord Mei should give a toast to Uncle Wang."

Mei Changli quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "Your Majesty, I offer you a toast. Thank you for all the things you have done for Xiaomian County."

Prince Guang'an slowly picked up a piece of lily and put it into his mouth, eating it with a disdainful look on his face.

Lord Mei said again: "Your Majesty, I salute you."

Prince Guang'an still did not move.

The situation became awkward.

Su Nuan couldn't stand this kind of scene the most. She felt embarrassed for the people involved.

She turned her head to look at Mu Yunting, who had a calm expression on his face, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Looking at Prince Guang'an again, it seemed as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and he was eating a piece of lily with relish.

Are all the people in the royal family so mentally healthy? Su Nuan really wanted to say something. She felt that if she continued to be so embarrassed, she would not be able to enjoy the food properly.

Just when she was about to speak up to help Lord Mei out, Prince Guang'an finally picked up the cup.

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, but he neither said a few polite words to Lord Mei nor even looked at him. This arrogant attitude was no better than not drinking at all.

Su Nuan was worried for Lord Mei, but when she saw him smiling and looking nonchalant, she felt that she was being redundant.

Looking at the others, they had quickly entered into a lively conversation, as if what had just happened had never happened.

She clearly realized that she was not the same kind of person as these people. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Xun Zheng. In such an occasion, that woman should be able to handle it with ease.

Feeling a little disappointed, Su Nuan wanted to go out for some fresh air.

"Your Highness, I want to go out for a walk."

Mu Yunting stood up and was about to hug her, but Su Nuan quickly stopped him.

"Your Highness, I can do it alone."

Mu Yunting hesitated for a moment. It was really not appropriate for him to abandon everyone and leave first in such an occasion.

He carried Su Nuan onto the wheelchair, and casually called over a maid from the county magistrate's mansion to ask her to push Su Nuan for a stroll in the garden.

As the hostess, Mrs. Mei was supposed to accompany the family and left behind Su Nuan.

Not long after the two of them left the table, Prince Guang'an said, "It's time to change the cook in the County Magistrate's Mansion. A table full of dishes is not as good as a pot of tea. I have to drink a bellyful of tea."

With these words and the hurried steps of Prince Guang'an leaving, everyone naturally thought that he was going to leave, so no one cared about his departure. Only Mu Yunting looked at Prince Guang'an's back with a frown on his face.

Mrs. Mei was accompanying Su Nuan to visit the garden when suddenly a little maid ran over in a panic.

"Madam, it's bad. The young master is fighting with the young master of the Yu family."

"How did the fight break out? Was he the one being beaten or the one beating others?"

"The one who beat people."

"This child, how could he be so naughty! Concubine Xia, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'll go take care of that naughty kid at home. I'll be right back."

"Mrs. May is busy."

Mrs. Mei left quickly and disappeared behind the moon gate in the garden.

As she left, a tall man appeared in the garden.
