The boy in front of me began to tidy up the things on the table, but as he bent down to tidy up, his eyes were full of resentment.
Once I marry the young princess, I will make sure she stays away from the crown prince.
The young princess is such a remarkable person, and this crown prince must have valued her abilities, which is why he deliberately approached her.
Long Yuan left after finishing his meal, but reminded Su Muyao not to forget to attend the banquet that evening.
"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely go tonight."
After finishing lunch, Old Man Su went back to the factory to help out. Old Woman Su had also made a few friends in Beijing, and they would often have afternoon tea together.
Some time ago, she also became very fond of the mahjong game that her little granddaughter had invented.
So, a few of the old ladies made plans to play mahjong together this afternoon.
After Old Man Su and Old Lady Su left, the maids began clearing the table, while Su Muyao continued reading the book in her hands.
Xiao Li then approached Su Muyao with a palm-leaf fan.
"You don't need to fan me. I'll turn on the air conditioner if I get hot. If you're not hot, you can go downstairs."
"yes".
Xiao Li reluctantly walked towards the kitchen.
Back in the kitchen, Xiao Li's mother was pacing anxiously. When she saw her son return, she rushed over and asked, "How is it? Did you see the little princess?"
"I saw it." Xiao Li simply nodded and replied to her mother with this indifferent sentence.
Then the cook slapped her thigh: "Did anyone say anything?"
Xiao Li nodded again.
The cook jumped for joy upon hearing this: "Good, good! You should get to know the young princess well. Look at your appearance, even compared to those young masters in the capital, you're not much worse off."
In addition, if you are gentle and considerate, I believe the young princess will definitely take a liking to you.
The cook was thinking about how this young princess could actually issue such a decree.
They must be planning to take in more men. Their family was poor before, but they just started working at the princess's mansion and were surprised to hear that they could earn so much money in a month.
Looking at this huge princess's mansion, if her son could become the princess's man, wouldn't all the boys in the family be able to get married?
The only thing I'm not satisfied with is the Princess's mansion. Although it's so wealthy, I'll have to talk to my son about how to win over the young princess in the future.
Even if you're rich, you can't be so extravagant. Look at these ordinary cleaning maids, they still get so much money every month.
...
When Longyuan returned to the palace, he found his mother waiting for him in his own bedroom.
"Empress Dowager"
When the Empress saw her son return, she smiled and pulled Long Yuan to sit down on the soft couch.
"You're leaving the palace to find Yao Yao!"
Although it was a question, it was as if they had already received confirmation.
"Yes, I told Yao Yao to come to the banquet tonight."
Upon hearing this, the Empress patted Longyuan's hand.
"Alright, alright, you should pay more attention to Yao Yao. She's still young, but she knows who treats her well."
If you want Yao Yao to become your Crown Princess, you must be extremely considerate towards her.
"Mother, Yuan'er doesn't want to get married so early. I want to wait a little longer."
Just then, the Emperor entered from outside and heard this sentence.
"Yuan'er, do you want to wait a little longer, or do you want to wait for Yao Yao, haha!"
May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects." The Empress gave a slight bow before helping the Emperor to the soft couch.
"Don't rush things. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. In my opinion, Longyuan and Yaoyao are destined for each other. Who knows, they might even become a beautiful story in the future."
The Empress was also suffering in her heart!
I don't want to choose a concubine for the Crown Prince for Long Yuan so early.
However, the Empress Dowager's idea was that the Crown Prince was already quite old and it was time to choose a Crown Princess.
Although the Empress Dowager also wanted Yao Yao to take the position of Crown Princess, she considered that Yao Yao was still too young.
Long Yuan is getting on in years, and there's no one around to take care of him.
So they thought of appointing a concubine for the crown prince.
However, the position of Crown Prince's principal wife should still be reserved for Mu Yao.
The Empress didn't dare to say it directly, but the Crown Prince only wanted Su Muyao.
After all, there's no precedent for a lifelong monogamous relationship in the royal family, especially for the elderly who hope to have as many children and grandchildren as possible.
While they were having a lively conversation, Su Muyao finished reading the book and took Xia Xia for a stroll on the street.
"Xia, why does it seem like there are so many more beggars in the capital?"
“The young princess was in a war a few days ago, and these people all came from over there.”
It was only at this moment that Su Muyao remembered that people from Nanhua City, especially those near the border, had mostly fled to various parts of the Great Dynasty due to the war.
I remember hearing the soldiers of Nanhua City say before I left that so many people had already crowded into the small city, but I didn't take it seriously at the time.
I imagine quite a few people have come to the capital.
The beggars on the street were all thin and frail, their clothes hanging loosely on their bodies.
Su Muyao arrived at the restaurant owned by the Crown Prince.
Upon seeing that it was actually the young princess, the shopkeeper hurriedly and politely greeted her: "Oh, young princess, may you be blessed with good fortune and peace. Please come in."
"Manager, go to the kitchen and cook two large pots of meat porridge."
Xia Xia handed over two silver ingots from her sleeve.
"Oh my, little princess, you're too kind of me."
His Highness said that it is an honor for our shop to have you here, and we absolutely cannot accept your money.”
Su Muyao nodded.
Next, Xia followed the shopkeeper to the kitchen to discuss making porridge.
The head chef immediately understood that it was the young princess's order.
There's plenty of minced meat, and the chopped green onions are just the right consistency – not too thick, not too thin.
The aroma instantly filled the entire inn, making many people swallow hard.
Su Muyao then instructed the shopkeeper to carry two large pots of porridge to the table in the hall, and also asked the shopkeeper to make two more large pots.
Then Xia came up to the beggars and explained that the young princess wanted to give out porridge.
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed over...
Two other people went to call people from other places over.
"Please line up, don't rush."
The waiter served bowl after bowl, giving each person a large bowl of steaming hot meat porridge.
With so many people, there weren't enough tables and chairs to seat them all, so many people were standing with their bowls in their hands.
Su Muyao then instructed them to squeeze in, or to go up to the private rooms on the second floor.
Those people quickly waved their hands: "I've never been to such a big store in my life. My clothes are already very dirty. It wouldn't be right for the restaurant to make them dirty."
The others around them echoed this sentiment.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly waved his hand and said, "We're here to do business. We don't care if our customers are dirty or not. Please come upstairs and have a seat."
Watching the shopkeeper bustling around, Su Muyao thought, "No wonder he works under the Crown Prince."
