PNB Chapter 123 The Crown Princess is also very devoted to me.
Chapter 123 The Crown Princess is also very devoted to me.
Since His Highness the Prince of Qin believed that "investing" was equivalent to "cheating people," Su Mowan had no choice but to send the person out of Huangfeng Garden.
Before leaving, His Highness the Prince of Qin said to Feng Yue in front of her, "At noon today, go with Consort Su to Moxianzhai to transport calligraphy and paintings."
It seems to have been intentional.
Feng Yue responded in a low voice, "Yes," while Su Mowan smiled faintly to the side, making no comment.
His Highness the King of Qin paused for a moment, and seeing that she neither refused nor seemed particularly pleased, he gave her a cold glance and finally left.
Qinghe and the others whispered after they had walked a distance away, "Your Highness is making a mountain out of a molehill. There's no need for Brother Feng to transport just a few paintings."
Yinshuang, who was standing next to her, rolled her eyes.
"You are still young and don't understand."
Qinghe was very reluctant to hear these words. Consort Su had said this more than twice before, and now even Yinshuang was saying it to her.
Qinghe was unconvinced and immediately muttered, "How could I not understand? The prince is subtly expressing his concern for Consort Su!"
Yinshuang touched her nose, then turned her head to look at Qinghe.
"A very subtle expression? This is far from subtle."
Qinghe: "..."
After a while, she muttered to herself, "I feel like the prince has been acting strangely lately, and Consort Su seems to be ignoring him too."
Yinshuang raised an eyebrow: "How do you know?"
"That's obvious!"
Qinghe leaned closer and said, "Last month, Consort Su went to Fenghua Palace almost every night, but this month she has rarely gone at night, and now she hasn't been seen going there during the day either!"
Yinshuang herself was also dealing with relationship issues, and she didn't want to discuss it with Qinghe, so she said, "It's alright if Consort Su doesn't go, didn't the Prince come by himself?"
Qinghe frowned and nodded.
"That's true, but the Prince isn't coming tonight. Who knows what Consort Shen is secretly plotting!"
Recently, Shen Muyue from the East Courtyard hasn't been causing trouble, but her overly docile demeanor always seems a bit off.
Qinghe's concerns were not unfounded.
However, Yinshuang was much calmer. She said expressionlessly, "It's normal that the prince won't come over tonight. Consort Su is not feeling well and cannot sleep with the prince."
"..."
Even though Qinghe was inexperienced, she understood the meaning of those words and immediately blushed and shut up.
Of course, she admired how Yinshuang could say such embarrassing things without any expression. Just thinking about how Yinshuang's eyes were red and swollen before, Qinghe couldn't suppress her curiosity.
"Yinshuang, what happened to you yesterday? You seemed unhappy."
"nothing."
Yinshuang didn't even glance at Qinghe, and simply gave a curt reply.
Qinghe was unaware of her relationship with Chaoyang. If she accidentally let it slip, Qinghe would gossip about it.
Her affair with Chaoyang is probably only known to the Prince and Consort Su. Chaoyang likely revealed it to the Prince, but as for Consort Su…
Yinshuang had to admire her; every time there was any commotion at her place, Consort Su would catch it!
But Qinghe was clearly no longer as easily fooled as before; her big, bright eyes stared intently at Yinshuang.
"No way! This is the first time I've ever seen you like this! Just tell me, maybe I can help you if you're having any problems!"
Help, huh.
Yinshuang rarely laughed in a sarcastic way. She turned to look at Qinghe, who was determined to gossip to the end, and said expressionlessly, "You want to help me? Sure, my lover ran away, you go and chase him back for me."
"..."
Qinghe was stunned.
Two thunderclaps rang in her mind.
The first thing is: Yinshuang has actually found a lover!
The second point is: How could a woman like Yinshuang not be able to keep her man!
Qinghe was shocked for a moment before she came to her senses. She said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, although I really want to help you, I don't know how to pursue men."
Yinshuang glanced at Qinghe silently, then turned and left.
Qinghe stood there stunned for a long time, then murmured, "I don't think I said anything wrong. Yinshuang must be too sad to talk to me..."
Su Mowan didn't rest after returning to the main house.
The monthly report meeting is approaching again, and she needs to prepare some things.
If nothing unexpected happens, this month's turnover and profit should be higher than last month's, and the jewelry shop should have more money after the change of manager.
Judging from Manager Li's account book last month, at least three thousand taels of silver disappeared out of thin air. It's obvious that the money went into Su Liu's pocket.
Su Mowan narrowed her eyes. If she didn't touch Su Liushi now, she would make her spit out everything she had swallowed, with interest, one day!
As for the painting building, it should be completed next month. Once that's done, we can move the clothing and jewelry shops there, which will make management much easier.
Of course, what Su Mowan wants to do most right now is to draw portraits of handsome men.
Qinghe counted about ten handsome men for her, but her eldest brother, Su Mobai, wasn't among them.
This was not surprising at all; Qinghe had definitely never met Su Mobai before. Even she herself had only met him four or five times in the past two years.
In Su Mowan's opinion, Su Mobai was undoubtedly the most handsome. His appearance had a touch of femininity, but his overall temperament prevented him from appearing effeminate. In particular, Su Mobai's abilities were something that even she admired.
A perfect example of a rich, handsome, and successful man.
Unfortunately, there are probably very few women in the entire capital who have ever seen him.
Su Mowan decided to be bold and start with Su Mobai!
Meanwhile, Su Mobai was unaware that he had been targeted and was discussing philosophy with the Crown Prince in the military camp.
The discussion revolves around the principles of offense and defense.
Actually, Young Master Su was quite helpless. His Highness the Crown Prince was good at everything, except that he didn't understand warfare, yet he still insisted on dragging him into "discussing" it.
It was supposed to be a discussion, but it was almost entirely His Highness the Crown Prince asking questions and Young Master Su answering.
Finally, Su Mobai ran out of patience and gave the Crown Prince a faint smile, "In my opinion, Your Highness is not suited for these matters. You should consult the Grand Tutor about the ways of being a ruler and governing a country."
Even when he lost his patience, Young Master Su's tone and expression were flawless.
Crown Prince Murong Wei was also quite tired. He had come to Su Mobai to "discuss the Dao" for three consecutive days. Even if Su Mobai wasn't annoyed, he was already annoyed.
So the Crown Prince picked up a teacup, took a small sip, and said with a complaining tone, "Actually, I'm very busy too, but there's nothing I can do. My father assigned me such a difficult task."
The way they addressed each other revealed that the Crown Prince and Su Mobai had a good relationship, but Su Mobai clearly didn't think it was any great honor.
He also picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, his movements extremely elegant.
"I don't like the eldest princess."
His Highness the Crown Prince showed no embarrassment at Su Mobai seeing through his intentions. He raised an eyebrow and said, "But the eldest princess is very infatuated with you."
Su Mobai put down his teacup and chuckled, his bright eyes reflecting a mischievous smile.
He said, "The Crown Princess is also very devoted to me."
