Su Bei also saw that today was the Flower Festival, and Chu Younan had to lead the city defense troops to maintain order at the scene.
He was dressed in black and had a murderous aura around him, which intimidated everyone present, but also drove countless girls crazy.
He is an unmarried bachelor now!
At first the girls looked at him reservedly, and then someone threw a fluffy flower at him, followed by a sachet and handkerchief, which instantly attracted the attention of many girls.
But he looked far away in the direction of Su Bei and slightly curled the corners of his lips.
Fang Huihui, who was standing next to Yu Zihe, covered her mouth and whispered, "He smiled at me! Prince Su smiled at me!"
Yu Zihe's face turned black. The daughter of the Ministry of Revenue was simply a lovelorn maniac! Why didn't she say a word to help her just now? "He's coming! He's coming! Do you think he will fall in love with me and marry me as his princess?!" Fang Huihui almost jumped up.
But the crowd parted and Chu Younan walked towards this side. His dark-patterned military uniform showed his tall and straight figure. His ingenious face had an undetectable smile on it, and he looked wickedly handsome.
But Fang Huihui didn't feel happy for long, because she saw Chu Younan stopped in front of Su Bei.
"Why didn't you bring anyone with you? What if you get squeezed?" Chu Younan complained.
"I'm not that precious. Aren't you all watching here?" Su Bei pursed his lips.
Xue Jinrong glanced at Yu Zihe, rolled his eyes, and said in a neutral tone, "Miss Yu, what did you say about Ah Bei just now? You told her to shut up, and what did you call her?"
"Bitch!" Fang Huihui lowered her head like a parrot.
Yu Zihe trembled suddenly and saw Chu Younan looking at her, his eyes were as sharp as knives and arrows, and as cold as frost.
"I...I...I didn't..." Her voice trembled.
Fang Huihui seemed to want to attract Chu Younan's attention on purpose, and raised her voice and said, "You did! I heard it with my own ears!"
Chu Younan did notice her, but her eyes were full of contempt. This girl, is she stupid? Yu Zihe will soon be her stepmother, so she is not afraid that she will be tripped up by others.
Xue Jinrong was also not polite and fanned the flames, saying, "Look at the clothes Ah Bei is wearing, and then look at her jewelry. You are a concubine's daughter, and you can't even compare to her. How can you not see anything? You even dared to insult her. You really don't take His Royal Highness Prince Su seriously!"
Su Bei smiled secretly, it seemed that Xue Jinrong after losing his memory was more like a wild horse, and he didn't take these former friends seriously at all.
Chu Younan smiled softly and looked at Yu Zihe with narrowed eyes.
Yu Zihe was covered in cold sweat as the pressure came. She didn't know why her legs softened and she knelt down. "My Lord, please forgive me... Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean to say that. I was talking about my maidservant..."
Chu Younan said nothing, just looked at her coldly.
Yu Zihe glanced timidly, then slapped herself hard, "It's my fault! I shouldn't have said that about Miss Abei..."
There were contemptuous looks all around.
Chu Younan looked at Su Bei, and his cold aura suddenly disappeared, becoming tender and affectionate. "I sent someone to follow you, so that no more snakes, insects, rats or ants will disturb your mood."
Su Bei felt so sweet in his heart.
These days, they both live in separate courtyards, and Chu Younan is not as dependent on her as before. Even if Su Bei takes the initiative to kiss him or hug him, he will eventually run away.
But on weekdays, he was more gentle to her.
Chu Younan gritted his teeth secretly. You little girl, do you know how many buckets of cold water I have flushed for your innocence? If it weren't for my good health, I would have caught a cold more than a dozen times! "Then you and Miss Xue stay here first, I'll go look somewhere else." Chu Younan said as he gathered Su Bei's hair. His fingertips touched her soft eartips, and his heart softened.
"Yeah." Su Bei responded softly and watched him walk out of the crowd. He watched the girls throw silk handkerchiefs at him again, but he didn't even look at them.
Yu Zihe sighed secretly and stood up. Her carefully selected dress was already covered with dirt. Half of her delicately made-up face was red, and her red eyes glared at Xue Jinrong and Su Bei fiercely.
Su Bei raised an eyebrow, "Miss Yu, the prince is gone, let's continue quarreling!"
Yu Zihe didn't dare to say anything else and squeezed out of the crowd in shame.
After a while, the crowd parted again. Yun Rou and Yun Xi came over with their maids and servants, carrying tables and chairs. Su Bei and Xue Jinrong sat down at the front row.
The tables and chairs were made of rosewood, and on the table was a white jade teacup, the aroma of sparrow tongue tea filling the air.
Not to mention Yu Zihe, a concubine's daughter, even the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion would not have such a grand ceremony.
There are already people competing on the stage. Today's competition is in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The winner will be called the Goddess of Flowers, and will be the topic of conversation among the noble ladies in the capital for the whole year.
Not only that, the value of the Goddess of Flowers increased by several times, and the nobles in the capital vied with each other to marry her.
Xue Jinrong is about to get married, Su Bei and Chu Younan are still in love, this matter has nothing to do with them, they are just here to watch the fun.
The two of them leisurely drank tea and ate cakes sent from the north-south pastry shops.
"This single basket of golden milk pastry is really well made! It seems that the Prince Su's Mansion is really full of talented people." Xue Jinrong praised while eating.
Su Bei glanced at her sideways and said, "You really forgot it so easily. This is my shop, the Nanbei Dim Sum Shop. You are welcome to patronize it."
"You actually opened a shop?" Xue Jinrong was stunned. "Doesn't Prince Su care?"
"No matter what, he even wrote an inscription for me personally. There is also the Nanbei Embroidery Shop." Su Bei said casually.
Xue Jinrong rolled his eyes, "Oh, right! My mother insisted that I embroider pillowcases at home, so I'll go buy two from you!"
"What are you buying? I'll give it to you..."
The two were chatting when they heard a discordant voice: "They even hired someone to embroider something as intimate as a pillowcase. I think the royal family is getting worse at choosing wives. Alas!"
The two turned around and saw several women sitting at a table next to them. The one who was talking was a young woman dressed in formal attire, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
"She is the Prime Minister's eldest daughter, Jiang Ruwei. She is sixteen years old and still unmarried." Yun Rou whispered to Su Bei.
These words were directed at Xue Jinrong, so she couldn't defend herself. However, Su Bei picked up the teacup and said lazily, "Of course, ordinary families would have their girls embroider it themselves, but our Jinrong is about to become the Princess of Prince Jin, so it's naturally precious. Not to mention pillowcases, even socks have to be made by someone! Who told us that Prince Jin is so caring? Girls from ordinary families, you can't envy them!"
The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for people at the next table to hear.
Jiang Ruwei's maid immediately took two steps towards them and said in a bossy tone, "Do you know who my young lady is? My young lady is the eldest daughter of the current prime minister! Who are you two? How dare you make indirect accusations!"
Su Bei chuckled, "I didn't mean to accuse someone of something."
"You were just..."
"I am cursing openly." Su Bei turned to Jiang Ruwei and said loudly, "We are just chatting here for a while. It's ok for you to eavesdrop, but you also have to point fingers at us. Is this what a young lady should do?"
Jiang Ruwei's eyes widened with anger. Before she could say anything, Madam Jiang stood up and said, "Don't think that you can look down on others just because you have Prince Su backing you up. After all, you are just a maid. You can only stand here and watch. You are not even qualified to compete!"
