The nurse nodded, "Really? I watched her grow from two years old to three months old."
"Just by watching her grow up, I can say that she is..." Mu Hui only said half of it, and burst out laughing, "You didn't even make up a lie first, and you said it backwards!"
The nurse was trembling with fear. She really hoped that she was lying. In her life, this was the first time she had seen someone being raised from an older child. No one dared to take care of such a strange child. If she hadn't seen the high salary she was paid, she would not have taken care of this child.
Su Bei couldn't explain this matter, so he had to let the wet nurse carry Liuying away.
Mu Hui stepped forward and smiled flatteringly, "Third sister-in-law, my aunt told me, what is this witch and this Gu? What is going on?"
"Witch? The kid just now was her." Su Bei pointed towards the door, "That was Liuying. She wanted to put a curse on you before..."
"Hahaha..." Mu Hui laughed, "Sister-in-law, stop teasing me. How can anyone in this world grow from seven or eight years old to a few months old? Okay, okay, I know you must have been willing when you scolded me that day. I won't ask anymore. Let's just pretend nothing happened."
Su Bei really didn't want her to ask anymore, because she wouldn't believe it anyway.
The two chatted for a while, and Mu Hui suddenly asked: "I heard that the emperor gave the third brother a few northern dancers?"
Don’t mention this. My head hurts when I mention Su Bei.
Those dancers have been kept there since they entered the mansion. Chu Younan didn't let them dance, but he felt annoyed to leave them there. And because they were awarded by the emperor, they couldn't be sold casually.
"I haven't seen the Northern Dancer yet. Please call her to dance with me!" Mu Hui asked.
Su Bei rolled his eyes and said, "I just want to see what beauties they are."
As she said that, she asked Wenxia to call those dancers.
Wen Xia agreed and left Fengyao Pavilion. On the road, he met Chu Younan who was coming back from court.
Chu Younan asked casually: "How is the princess today?"
"The princess has a good appetite today and ate two bowls of rice in the morning. Princess Mu Hui is here now, and the two of them want to watch the Northern Dancer."
When she said that, Chu Younan frowned, "What are you looking at them for? It's just a nuisance. Let them stay in the yard and don't walk around!"
He knew that Su Bei was pregnant at this time, and the two of them couldn't be too close. She would definitely be a little jealous, so he didn't want those northern dancers to hang around in front of her.
Wen Xia agreed, and Chu Younan went to Fengyao Pavilion.
Su Bei and Mu Hui waited for a long time, but the Northern Dancer did not show up, but Chu Younan did.
Mu Hui said with joy, "Third brother is back, just in time, let's watch the Northern Dancer together later!"
"What are you looking at? I told them to stay in the yard obediently and not cause trouble for your third sister-in-law. If it weren't for the reward from the emperor, I would have sold them all out long ago." Chu Younan said in a deep voice.
"Oh, are you afraid of being seen?" Mu Hui was a little unhappy.
Su Bei felt a little jealous for some reason. He actually felt that what Mu Hui said made some sense.
Fortunately, Chu Younan said, "How about I lend them to you first, and you can take them back to the Princess's Mansion and take a look at them slowly."
Mu Hui said excitedly: "Okay! It's a deal! You must not be reluctant to give it up!"
"Someone come!" Chu Younan said immediately, "Send a car to take those northern dancers to the princess's mansion immediately!"
He breathed a sigh of relief, what he wanted more than anything else.
Su Bei also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Hui went back home happily to see the dancer.
Su Bei then said, "It's cold, why don't you wear more clothes?"
Chu Younan sat beside her and held her hand. "I have a strong fire. Look, your hands are cold."
Su Bei rolled his eyes and put his hand into his collar, "Then warm me up."
Chu Younan raised his eyebrows, "It's not warm enough here, how about... moving to another place to warm you up?"
"What are you thinking about!" Su Bei glared at him fiercely.
Chu Younan hurriedly apologized with a smile, "I meant that my stomach feels warmer, you're just overthinking it..."
Su Bei glared at him, and Chu Younan quickly changed his words, "No, no, no, I'm overthinking. My little Beibei is so pure, how could she have wrong thoughts..."
Seeing Su Bei glaring at him again, Chu Younan quickly changed the subject, "By the way! Why didn't you ask me when I came back so late today?"
"Where have you been?" Su Bei stared at him.
Chu Younan pretended to be mysterious, "Of course it's something important, and it's related to you!"
Perhaps it was because his expression was a little frivolous that Su Bei had some wrong ideas. The important thing was related to her. Could it be that... he wanted to take a concubine? Although he already had one, it did not prevent the ancient men from having three wives and four concubines.
She wanted to eat him! Chu Younan knew that Su Bei's eyes were not right, so he didn't dare to keep it a secret. He said quickly: "I went to the imperial study! It's about Su Xiujie! The emperor said that if his foot can be cured, Su Xiujie will be crowned king!"
This was the best news Su Bei had ever heard. To be crowned a king was a hundred times better than being the Marquis of Ping An! "Then let him enter the palace right away! It's just a piece of porcelain, right? He can even heal Mo Xiao's broken leg!" Su Bei stood up excitedly, as if he was about to push Chu Younan out of the door.
Chu Younan smiled bitterly, "Why did you let me finish my lunch? I'm hungry."
When he said he was hungry, his stomach actually growled in response.
While they were having lunch, the princess's mansion was also having lunch.
However, the lunch at the princess’s mansion was more grand than theirs, with even singing and dancing performances.
In Mu Hui's opinion, the singing and dancing of the Northern dancers were quite fresh and their figures were also very good. The only flaw was that they all wore veils.
All I can see are those willow-shaped eyebrows and big eyes, and nothing else.
"Take off your veils and let this princess see them!" Mu Hui ordered.
After taking one off, Mu Hui nodded with satisfaction, "It's really beautiful!"
The same thing happened when I took off the second one.
When the third one was about to take it off, Mu Hui suddenly frowned. The first one who took off her veil was actually glaring at Ling Ziyou! Although Ling Ziyou was eating with her head down and didn't see it, Mu Hui was so jealous that she didn't have the heart to appreciate their looks. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Go down!"
The dancers came out in response. Ling Ziyou didn't understand why and asked, "Why don't you watch it anymore?"
Mu Hui's anger immediately soared to the sky, "Why? Do you think it looks good?"
"It's OK." Ling Ziyou said honestly, "I don't understand these, I think it's not much different from the dance in the Central Plains."
Mu Hui suppressed her anger a little, "Just dancing? Didn't you see anything else? Her figure, her appearance..."
"There's no difference between them and the people in the Central Plains..." Ling Ziyou looked confused. He really didn't observe it so carefully. He was just busy peeling shrimps for Mu Hui.
Mu Hui's anger subsided a little, "So, who do you think is prettier, them or me?"
"I haven't even seen their faces, how do I know whether they are good-looking or not..." Ling Ziyou was at a loss.
Mu Hui chuckled and thought to herself: I can never let them hang around in front of the prince consort again, and I can never let them take off their veils!
If a dancer knew what she was thinking, she would definitely be delighted.
She didn't want to be exposed so early. Although she was sent to the princess's mansion by mistake, she believed that there would be a day when she would meet Chu Younan again.
