I just want to live a good life

Chapter 488 Concubine Xia’s Taste

Mu Yunting was not in a good mood at the moment. He wanted to go home early to see his concubine Xia, but he encountered the big trouble of Princess Wangyue on the way. The carriage was occupied, and he was forced to ride a skinny little white horse, which did not suit his temperament at all. He was very annoyed.

A man was riding in front on horseback, not even looking at the person in the carriage, just thinking about taking her to her destination as quickly as possible.

This kind of scheming woman is the most annoying.

Princess Mochizuki, who was sitting in the carriage at the moment, did not feel the Crown Prince's aversion to her at all. Her big eyes followed the Crown Prince's figure closely through the opened window. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. This man must be hers and only hers.

From the Ministry of Justice to the place where the envoys from Fanli lived, one had to cross several streets. Although there were many people on the streets, they did not surround the carriage. The carriage just moved a little slower.

When passing by a snack shop, Princess Mochizuki wanted to get off the car and buy some to eat.

So the carriage stopped in front of the snack shop.

"Your Highness, will you accompany me to buy some? I don't know what kind of snacks are delicious in Nanzhao Country, can you help me choose?"

Mu Yunting instinctively wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed.

The two of them entered the snack shop one after the other.

As soon as he entered the door, Mu Yunting asked the waiter to pack some of each snack, and then he carefully selected them himself. While choosing, he recalled how someone looked when eating these snacks. If someone ate with squinting eyes, he would buy more of them.

After selecting and choosing, they bought about a dozen kinds. The boy quickly packed them and tied them into a string. Princess Wangyue mistakenly thought that it was bought for her and happily reached out to take it. Mu Yunting was quick and grabbed the string of snacks in his hand, then raised his chin and said, "Yours are there."

Princess Wangyue looked in the direction Mu Yunting pointed, and saw two other boys carrying two large buns of dim sum walking towards her.

Although these two big bags won in terms of quantity, they were not carefully selected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they were not as good as the one he was holding in his hand.

"I don't want that." Wang Yue pointed at the big bag carried by the waiter and said, "I can't finish that much. Your Highness, just give me what you have."

The second time he reached out for the snacks chosen by Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunting moved aside to avoid Princess Wangyue's hand, a little displeased, "Didn't you say you didn't know which one tasted good? I'll give them to you, try them one by one."

Princess Wangyue took another look at the two large bags of dim sum and thought to herself that even if she only took a bite of each, she would be full. Now that there were ready-made dim sum selected by others, how should she choose?

"You don't have to try them one by one. Your Highness chooses the ones I like."

The third time he tried to take away Mu Yunting's snack, Mu Yunting finally couldn't hold it anymore and said, "If you like it, ask the waiter to pack another one for you. This one is not for you."

"Who is it for, Your Highness?"

Princess Mochizuki asked with three parts of doubt and seven parts of dissatisfaction.

Just then, the door of the shop was pushed open, and a woman in a plain cloak came in. As soon as she entered the door, she attracted everyone's attention, including Mu Yunting.

Princess Mochizuki looked back curiously and saw a stunningly beautiful woman.

When the woman entered the room, she first saw Mu Yunting with a look of surprise. The next moment, she saw Princess Wangyue and her expression changed slightly.

"Azheng."

Mu Yunting was a little surprised that the person who came was Xun Zheng.

"Why is your highness here?"

Xun Zheng's eyes were full of surprise and inquiry.

Although she had never seen Xun Zheng, Princess Wangyue guessed who the visitor was after hearing Mu Yunting's address. She was looking Xun Zheng up and down, and when she heard her question, she rushed to answer, "Your Highness is here to buy snacks for me."

After saying that, he pointed at the snack in Mu Yunting's hand.

It would not be appropriate for Mu Yunting to interrupt and say "This is not bought for you" at this time, but it would also not be appropriate for him to just say nothing and acquiesce.

As he was hesitating, the door of the shop was pushed open again, and then a series of crisp sounds came in.

"The dim sum in this shop is the most delicious. Even Madam Wang admits that she can't make it as delicious as this one."

"But I don't really like sweets."

"Trust me, you'll fall in love with sweets after you try it once."

Su Nuan tried her best to recommend dim sum to Liao Xinyi, who was aroused by her words and became very curious. Both of them were so immersed in their anticipation for the dim sum that they did not notice the familiar faces in the room at first.

At this moment, Mu Yunting didn't know whether he should be happy or worried. The three women were in a drama, and he didn't know what would happen next. His heart was in his throat, and he was distracted from taking care of the snacks in his hands.

Then, he suddenly felt his hand lighten, and the next moment His Highness was in Princess Mochizuki's hands.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince understands me, and he sells the food I like to eat."

The woman showed the snacks in her hand to everyone.

Now I can't deny that I bought it for her.

Mu Yunting, a grown man, can't just snatch things from a woman.

He looked at Su Nuan first.

Su Nuan then noticed the people in the shop. Her first reaction was that the two women were competing for favor. Judging from their positions and the string of snacks in Princess Wangyue's hand that were a declaration of sovereignty, Xun Zheng was slightly at a disadvantage.

If she had encountered this situation a few days ago, she might have turned around and left, but today she had to get involved.

With Xun Zheng's honest and kind character, she would not openly discuss the matter of competing for favor, and she would probably suffer a loss in front of the flamboyant Princess Wangyue.

Su Nuan curled her lips and said with a smile: "Why didn't you tell me when you came to buy snacks? Let me see what you bought for Princess Wangyue and see if there is anything I like."

As she spoke, she walked up to Princess Mochizuki and looked carefully at the names printed on the snack buns.

She felt a little jealous at the sight of this. These snacks were her favorites, but Mu Yunting actually bought them for others. Her happiness was reduced by half when he suddenly got involved.

I felt sour in my heart, but I expressed it in my mouth, "Your Highness is really thoughtful. All the things you bought are the finest products in this shop!"

"I said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the best taste and he always picks the most delicious ones."

Princess Wangyue said this with a smile, not forgetting to provoke Xun Zheng with her eyes.

Xun Zheng's face didn't look good, but she still kept a faint smile, "Your Highness has always had good taste, but I didn't know that Your Highness could also pick snacks."

When saying this, Xun Zheng's bright eyes were staring straight at Mu Yunting. Even Su Nuan and Princess Wangyue could read some blame in her eyes. They both looked at Mu Yunting at the same time.

At this time, when the beloved woman blames him for buying snacks for others, most men should coax her. However, His Royal Highness is not an ordinary man. His way of solving the problem is simple and direct. He said, "How can I choose snacks? I choose them according to Concubine Xia's taste. She is very knowledgeable about food. The chefs in the mansion are convinced by her. It will not be wrong to choose according to her taste."

After these words were spoken, the three women fell silent.

The snacks were bought according to Concubine Xia's taste. Needless to say, Princess Wangyue was unhappy and glared at Su Nuan.

Buy snacks for other women according to your taste, look at your contribution, Xun Zheng looked at Su Nuan with contempt.

Su Nuan felt the most wronged. She was the one who was trying to sow discord between the two women, but the Crown Prince directed his attack on her with just one sentence. She rolled her eyes at Mu Yunting and said, "Your Highness really thinks highly of me, but there is one thing you may have made a mistake. These are not my taste. It's just that the chef in the mansion is good at making these kinds of snacks. My taste is all the snacks in this shop."

After saying that, Su Nuan waved her hand and asked the waiter to pack a portion of all the snacks in the store for her.

The guy took one look at the already packed huge bag and without hesitation, turned around and started packing.

"I'm going to host a few friends at my mansion tomorrow, and I don't know what kind of snacks to buy to treat them. I also believe in Concubine Xia's ability to appreciate delicious food. If she said that all the snacks in this shop are delicious, then she must be right."

After Xun Zheng finished speaking, she asked the waiter to pack a portion for herself according to Concubine Xia's recipe.

The three guys were busy, two were packing and one was busy hanging up a sold out sign.

Princess Mochizuki looked at the snacks in her hand, then looked at the huge bag that had already been packed, and silently moved to the side of the huge bag.

"Your Highness, Xinyi and I need to go buy some other things. When the snacks are ready, have someone send them back to me."

After saying this, Su Nuan took Liao Xinyi's arm and left.

Xun Zheng also said, "I also need to prepare some things to entertain the guests. Your Highness, please have someone send my portion to the Xun Mansion."

After Xun Zheng left, Mu Yunting looked at Princess Wangyue with anticipation.

"I'm not busy. I'll wait with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
