Chapter 244 I don’t like it
A new day comes with anticipation.
Su Nuan got up early and went to the kitchen with the help of her maid. The food she had asked someone to prepare last night was bought back early in the morning, and the meat and vegetables were very fresh.
She also had a tent prepared, and in case the scenery there was beautiful, she planned to stay there for a night.
Everything is ready and Mu Yunting is dressed neatly.
The two of them hurriedly ate some breakfast and then got in the carriage and set off.
There were two carriages, one in front and one behind. The front carriage was loaded with supplies and food. The driver was a native of Xiaomian County, who led the way.
Su Nuan and Mu Yunting were sitting in the carriage at the back, followed by a team of guards. They were the guards that the county magistrate had dispatched to protect Mu Yunting after he revealed his identity yesterday.
Except for Falcon who was driving the carriage, none of the prince's secret guards showed up.
The group drove surprisingly smoothly on the street.
Su Nuan noticed that the streets that used to be bustling were now empty. The doors of shops on both sides of the street were closed and no one was open for business.
It would be fine if it was just one or two streets, but it was like this until we reached the city gate.
Su Nuan still remembers the day when she broke her leg. There was a long queue of people entering and leaving the city gate. But today, there were only soldiers guarding the city gate, and not a single citizen could be seen.
The huge Xiaomian County seemed to have turned into a deserted city overnight, and it was eerily quiet.
"Your Highness, do you feel that something is wrong outside?"
Su Nuan couldn't help but ask.
Mu Yunting replied with a dark face: "It seems that someone has made arrangements in advance."
Don't blame him for being upset, this kind of thing is not something a human being would do.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made such a grand trip that it really did not leave a good impression on the people.
Moreover, today's outing was a temporary decision made by the two of them, and no one knew about it except the people in the villa. Apparently, someone paid too much attention to everything that happened in the villa and found out about the two's outing today.
Thinking of this, Su Nuan felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
I'm afraid today's trip won't be as enjoyable as she imagined.
Sure enough, as soon as the carriage left the city gate, she saw a group of people waiting there. Upon closer inspection, they were all the people at yesterday's banquet, and there were also many unfamiliar women and children, who must be more family members.
There were a few particularly eye-catching people among the women and children, so Su Nuan took a few more glances at them.
The leader was a young woman who was dressed in luxurious clothes and wore jewelry worth a fortune. Although she looked a little ordinary, she was dignified and elegant. She did not feel overshadowed even when standing among a group of beautiful women.
Su Nuan was guessing the woman's identity in her heart, and her eyes met hers unexpectedly.
The woman did not avoid or evade, but smiled gently. Just one smile made Su Nuan feel good about her.
At this time, Mei Changli had already brought officials from Xiaomian County to the front of the carriage.
"Your Highness, I heard that you are going to Qingfeng Gorge for a trip today. I have already made arrangements in Qingfeng Gorge, and I will definitely make sure you have a great time."
As soon as Mei Changli finished speaking, Su Nuan knew that she would not be able to play today.
With so many people following you, you'll be the focus wherever you go. You have to pay attention to your manners all the time, so what's the point of having fun!
Su Nuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. She looked up and down at Lord Mei and felt disgusted with him.
Mu Yunting's reaction was similar to Su Nuan's. If looks could kill, Mei Changli would have been beheaded a hundred times by him.
"Master Mei, are you done? It's just a short talk with the Crown Prince. Does it take so long?"
Su Nuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Prince Guang'an sitting in the carriage, lifting the curtain with one hand and looking over here.
"Why does he come to join in the fun?"
Mu Yunting muttered something and waved to Mei Changli, signaling him to lead the way.
The moment the car curtain was lowered, Su Nuan's face fell, and the word "unhappy" was clearly written on her face.
Mu Yunting held her hand and said, "Let's go see what Mei Changli has prepared. If we think it's good, we'll go with them. If it's not good, we'll leave them, okay?"
Su Nuan knew that sometimes the higher the position one held, the less free one could act.
Mu Yunting chose to reveal his identity, so they could only be prepared to be watched by a large group of people at all times.
If she were in Mei Changli's position, if the Crown Prince came to Xiaomian County, she would always be by his side to protect him and not let him get into any accidents. This can be seen from the large number of guards that Mei Changli brings with him.
So she couldn't blame Mei Changli. If she really had to blame someone, it could only be Mu Yunting's high status.
With a sigh, Su Nuan smiled back at Mu Yunting, "It doesn't matter. Having more people also has its advantages. It makes the fun more lively."
Mu Yunting hugged Su Nuan in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Then consider this as me owing you a chance to go out alone together. I will make it up to you later."
Su Nuan was very satisfied with Mu Yunting's reaction. Her magnanimity did not mean that she had no complaints in her heart. If this man revealed the incident without saying a word, she would really feel uncomfortable.
The carriage moved forward and arrived at the destination in about an hour.
Su Nuan was carried out of the carriage again.
As soon as I got down, I was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of me. The warm autumn sun shone on a large sea of flowers, as if it had coated the flowers with a layer of golden light, which was dazzlingly beautiful.
Su Nuan wanted Mu Yunting to accompany her to walk in the sea of flowers. Before she could open her mouth, a large group of people surrounded the two of them. Prince Guang'an put his arm around Mu Yunting's shoulders and said, "Appreciating flowers is the job of women. We men should go drink. Come on, I'll have a few drinks with the prince."
Mu Yunting turned and looked at Su Nuan.
Prince Guang'an joked, "Why, are you still worried that your concubine will be lost? Don't worry, the guards have surrounded the area of more than ten miles. No one can steal your concubine away. Besides, there are many people accompanying her."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman walked out from behind Prince Guang'an. She was the one who had looked at Su Nuan before.
Then Prince Guang'an continued, "This is my princess consort. Let her accompany your concubine. This way you should feel relieved!"
Princess Guang'an walked forward and nodded slightly to Su Nuan.
According to seniority, Su Nuan should call Princess Guang'an "Aunt", but the royal family does not value family affection, and relatives have to use titles to address each other. If the Crown Prince's wife was here, Princess Guang'an would have to pay respects to the Crown Prince's wife even though she is a generation older. But Su Nuan is a concubine, so it doesn't matter who pays respects to whom between the two.
"Concubine Xia, shall we go enjoy the flowers?"
Since people asked this, Su Nuan couldn't refuse, so she smiled and said "Okay." Then she gave Mu Yunting a reassuring look, and let the maid beside Princess Guang'an push her forward.
Princess Guang'an and the Crown Prince's concubine were the two most noble women in the family. When the other women saw them going to appreciate the flowers, they followed them to keep them company.
In the crowd, Su Nuan saw Miss Yu at a glance.
Maybe it was because he cried because of Mu Yunshu's departure, his eyes were a little red and swollen, and his eyes were very cold when he looked at Su Nuan.
