I just want to live a good life

Chapter 41: Not Yours and Mine

While Su Nuan was thinking about how to make money, a conversation about her was going on in Mu Yunting's study.

"Your Highness, I have escorted the person out of the mansion."

"No one saw it, right?"

"No, I changed his clothes as soon as I left the garden."

"Do you think Xia Qingyan will be able to see the flaw?"

“It shouldn’t be…right!”

"Ye Yin, don't you find it strange?" Mu Yunting said slowly: "Xia Qingyan was willing to destroy her sister's reputation for Yun Shu, so why did she not care at all when Yun Shu confided his feelings to her?"

"Your Highness means... that the Concubine has already figured out that the Crown Prince is a fake?"

Mu Yunting did not comment on this question.

After a moment of silence, Mu Yunting said, "Send someone to investigate the collapse of the flower wall today to see if it was done by someone in the mansion. If so, don't alert the enemy first. See what his purpose is."

That evening, Su Nuan heard that Mu Yunting was drinking alone in Wangyue Tower, so without waiting for Luzhu to come to Duiyue Residence, she personally took the prepared cake to find Mu Yunting.

Standing in front of the door of Wangyue Tower, Su Nuan looked at the plaque on the lintel for a long time.

The Moon-Watching Tower is a three-story building. It is not accurate to call it a small building. In fact, it is just a taller pavilion. It is not very large and has no decorations. Its only feature is that it is tall. It is the tallest building in the Prince's Palace.

Su Nuan lifted her skirt and climbed to the top floor of Wangyue Tower. She saw the afterglow of the setting sun shining on a table with a pot of wine for each person. Seeing this scene, Su Nuan actually felt a hint of sympathy in her heart.

She thought that this high and mighty prince must also be a lonely person!

"Ye Yin didn't stop you?"

Seeing Su Nuan, Mu Yunting asked.

Su Nuan was a little confused because she didn't see Ye Yin at all.

She raised the plate in her hand and said, "I'm here to bring cake to His Highness."

Mu Yunting glanced at the cake on the plate and said nothing.

"Can I sit down?" Su Nuan asked as she walked to the stone table.

Mu Yunting still didn't speak.

Su Nuan took it as his consent and sat down opposite Mu Yunting without any hesitation. She placed the plate in front of Mu Yunting and said, "I heard that Your Highness likes sweets, so I added more sugar."

Mu Yunting picked up a piece of cake, took a bite, and still didn't say anything.

Su Nuan looked at him and suddenly felt a little dazed. Was this still the Mu Yunting who asked her for food at the banquet?

Why does this person seem like a different person when he picks up the wine jug?

She pointed at Mu Yunting's wine jug and asked, "Do you have a cup? I want to drink, too."

Mu Yunting looked at her in surprise, then ordered outside the pavilion: "Bring another pot of wine."

Su Nuan leaned out and looked downstairs, but saw nothing.

"Don't look. If he doesn't want you to see him, you won't see him."

Su Nuan guessed that the person Mu Yunting was talking about was Ye Yin, so she replied: "Maybe he would feel awkward when meeting her."

After saying this, she finally saw a hint of emotion on Mu Yunting's calm face.

After a while, a servant brought a wine pot and a wine glass to Su Nuan.

Su Nuan poured herself a glass and took a sip.

The wine was strong, but it had a mellow aftertaste and was many times better than any wine she had drunk before.

"What a good wine!" Su Nuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said, "Your Highness, are you going to drink here while slowly waiting for the moon to come out?"

Mu Yunting replied: "The moon will not come out."

Su Nuan silently calculated the date. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, which should be a full moon night. How could he say that the moon would not come out?

Looking up at the sky, dusk is gradually falling and the sky is dim, but there are few clouds in the clear sky. In such weather, the moon will definitely come out and will be bright.

After coming to this conclusion, Su Nuan did not argue with Mu Yunting. After all, the bright moon in the sky would prove him wrong in a while.

After that, the two of them didn't say anything. Mu Yunting drank one sip after another, and several batches of wine jugs on the table had been removed.

However, Su Nuan only took small sips. It was not that she didn't want to drink, but it was her first time drinking since her time travel. She was not sure how Xia Qingyan's body would react to alcohol. It would be bad if she drank too much and made a fool of herself.

Just like that, an hour later, the sky became completely dark. The servant brought candles and hung them on the four corners of the pavilion. The pavilion was suddenly filled with soft yellow light.

Su Nuan held the cake in one hand and the wine jug in the other, leaning on the railing of the pavilion, eating while observing the changes in the sky. She had seen the sunrise and sunset, but had never seen the moon rise.

This was also the important reason why she was able to sit here with Mu Yunting for an hour.

"What's the most beautiful moon you have ever seen?" Su Nuan suddenly asked this question, but she kept leaning on the railing and didn't look back at Mu Yunting.

“Very beautiful and dazzling!”

Su Nuan turned around and looked at Mu Yunting in surprise. She didn't expect him to answer her question.

"Why is the moon so dazzling?" Su Nuan continued to ask.

This time, she waited for a long time, but Mu Yunting didn't answer.

Su Nuan curled her lips and turned back to look at the sky. Unexpectedly, a bright moon was already hanging in the sky.

She slapped the handrail in front of her heavily and muttered, "I waited for so long in vain, how come it rose up in just a moment!"

"Didn't you say the moon wouldn't come out? Look what that is?" Su Nuan said somewhat unconvinced.

Mu Yunting didn't even raise his head and said in a deep voice: "That is your moon, not mine."

It was the first time that Su Nuan heard that the moon belonged to someone. She sneered, raised the wine jug to her lips, tilted her head back and drank the last drop of wine in it.

"I have waited for my moon, Your Highness, please wait for your moon slowly!"

Su Nuan put down the wine jug and staggered towards the stairs.

Just as she was about to go downstairs, she suddenly turned around and said to Mu Yunting in a serious tone, "There is only one moon in this world, it doesn't matter whether it's yours or mine, it's right there, you can see it as long as you turn your head."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Nuan held onto the wall and walked downstairs carefully step by step.

Mu Yunting stared at her back in a daze for a while, then slowly turned around and looked at the bright moon.

At this moment, Su Nuan groaned and then complained loudly: "It's so dark, can't you add a light?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Mu Yunting's indifferent face.

Not long after Su Nuan finished complaining, a figure suddenly flashed by, and then a lantern appeared at the corner of the stairs.

She was startled by this sudden change. After seeing the lantern clearly, she was sure that it was a person who came to give her a lantern to light up the way.

With such skills, she guessed that the person should be Ye Yin.

Although the method was a bit abrupt, Su Nuan gladly accepted the other party's kindness and stepped forward to pick up the lantern on the ground.
