Chapter 116 Eyeliner
Su Nuan's proposal touched the Queen Mother's heart, and she really considered this issue seriously.
But before she could come up with a result, Mu Yunting took over the conversation with a dark face.
"Don't even think about divorce. You are the concubine given to me by my father. You can only sit in this position unless one day you don't want to live anymore."
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room changed their expressions.
Although these words were spoken to Su Nuan, they were also telling the Queen Mother that the position of the Crown Prince's concubine could not be changed.
Who is the Empress Dowager? She is the mother of the current Emperor. Normally, even the Emperor would never say "no" to her. But today, Mu Yunting slapped her in the face in public. How could she swallow this?
But Mu Yunting was the crown prince, the heir to the throne, and her beloved grandson. The empress dowager was reluctant to be angry with him, but she couldn't bear to keep the anger in her heart. Since she couldn't vent her anger on the crown prince, her anger had to be borne by his concubine.
So the Queen Mother looked at Su Nuan with a dark face.
"Xia, you are such an ungrateful fool. You must have earned the position of the Crown Prince's concubine in several lifetimes. How dare you talk about divorce? I ask you, how is Yun Ting, the Crown Prince, not worthy of you? You actually want to divorce him!"
Su Nuan was really pissed off by these grandparents and grandchildren!
With just one sentence, Mu Yunting nailed her to the position of the Crown Prince's concubine, with no room for advancement and no right to give up.
I'm already feeling very unhappy!
Now the old witch has set a trap for her again and is trying to sow discord between her and Mu Yunting.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Mu Yunting looked at Su Nuan with eyes that were like a knife.
The arm cannot twist the thigh, and at this moment, it is a wise choice to hold on to Mu Yunting's thigh.
So Su Nuan sighed softly and said quietly, "Your Highness, anyone would be marrying up if they married you, and I am no exception. I have caused Your Highness a lot of trouble during the time I married into the Crown Prince's Mansion, and I feel bad about it. Today, the Queen Mother's scolding made me feel even more uneasy. I thought I couldn't cause trouble for Your Highness anymore, so I just thought of a divorce in a hurry, but I didn't expect that it would cause misunderstandings between the Queen Mother and Your Highness."
Having said that, Su Nuan looked at Mu Yunting and pretended to be extremely aggrieved.
The effect would be better if she shed a few more tears at this time, but Su Nuan thought about all her sad things and couldn't squeeze out a single tear.
Mu Yunting's expression clearly showed the three words "I don't believe it".
He hummed softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and said, "If you feel bad, you have to eat dinner with me for a month, and I want you to make it yourself."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked again. The atmosphere was so tense. Shouldn't His Royal Highness punish Concubine Xia? Even a small punishment would be justified!
Banning someone from playing and imposing a fine, shouldn't these be the normal procedures at this moment?
Even Su Nuan herself was prepared to be punished.
But having dinner with me is not a punishment; it is naked pampering!
There are so many noble ladies in the imperial city waiting in line but they can’t get here!
Su Nuan was thinking about how to sell this month's dining-accompanying quota and make a fortune.
Just as everyone was still immersed in this shock, the Queen Mother's cold voice rang out: "How long are you two going to pretend in front of me?"
Su Nuan and Mu Yunting looked at each other, not understanding what the Queen Mother meant.
The Empress Dowager gave Matron He a look, and Matron He understood and sent all the outsiders away.
"Prince, you may be able to fool outsiders with this little trick, but I am your grandmother, are you going to fool even me?"
Mu Yunting lowered his head and said respectfully, "My grandson is terrified and doesn't understand what the royal grandmother is talking about."
"Humph, if you really dote on Xia, why haven't you favored her after being married for so long?"
After hearing this, Su Nuan finally understood what those maids were going to do to her. They were going to examine her body.
She was busy resisting and having a great time fighting, but then Mu Yunting appeared and one big thunderbolt after another came. She didn't even think about the purpose of their treating her like that.
The reason why the emperor arranged a marriage for the prince was to let him get close to women, but he has never favored his woman since the marriage. It is obvious that this woman is incompetent.
In addition, Xia Qingyan had a bad reputation. If this matter were to be brought to the attention of the emperor, he might really decide to divorce her.
This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If the emperor gets angry and gives the prince ten or eight concubines, Su Nuan's life will be difficult then.
Thinking of this, Su Nuan didn't dare to act rashly again. In the current situation, she'd better keep her mouth shut and listen to Mu Yunting in everything. She believed that Mu Yunting, like her, didn't want a group of women to appear in the Prince's Mansion.
She unconsciously leaned closer to Mu Yunting, as if this action could make her feel more at ease.
"What the Imperial Grandmother said is true. I shouldn't have thought about these things because the Imperial Mausoleum was being repaired a few days ago. Today, I have reported to the Imperial Father that the Imperial Mausoleum has been completed. Concubine Xia and I can consummate our marriage today."
Mu Yunting's words were like another thunderclap, but this time it was Su Nuan who was knocked unconscious.
This is a temporary solution. This is the only way for the two of them to get away easily. It must be like this, it must be!
But why do I feel so excited in my heart?
The fantasy picture is filled with pink bubbles, bubbling out and cannot be stopped.
Su Nuan was going crazy. The constant tug of war between rationality and emotion made it impossible for her to think.
Finally, after she had put in a lot of effort, reason finally prevailed.
Only then did she realize that she was sitting opposite Mu Yunting. They had left the palace without her knowing and were already sitting in a carriage.
Mu Yunting was looking at her with a half-smile, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through people.
Su Nuan felt so guilty that she didn't dare look Mu Yunting in the eye, her eyes wandering around in the carriage.
"How did the Empress Dowager know that I haven't favored you yet?"
The voice was as cold as ever, but Su Nuan could hear a hint of sarcasm.
"You don't suspect that I told her about it, do you? Can you be normal? Am I crazy? I'm asking for trouble!"
"I didn't say it was you, why are you so nervous?"
"Is this nervousness? This is..."
Su Nuan was speechless for a moment, but that was not the point. The point was who was so bored as to tell the Queen Mother about this.
Although this matter was no secret in the Prince's Mansion, it was not worth running to the Queen Mother to tell her. Besides, apart from Mu Yunting and himself, who else in the Prince's Mansion could inform the Queen Mother?
unless......
"Do you suspect that there are spies of the Queen Mother in the palace?"
From Mu Yunting's ever-changing expression, Su Nuan already got the answer.
Who will this person be?
Thinking of Mu Yunting's attitude towards her just now, Su Nuan's heart suddenly sank. Could it be that this person is someone around her?
