Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

She subconsciously asked nervously: "Why?"

Fu Zhun's joints were stretched as he gripped the wine cup.

"My mother was gravely ill in the cold palace. She could have relied on her past royal favors to seek treatment from the imperial physician... but she gave up her chance to live, dragging herself through her illness. Before her death, she finally begged my father for his moving permission, in exchange for my chance to leave the palace!"

"My mother is so stupid..."

Fu Zhun's face flickered in the moonlight. He was unaware of the turbid wine as it went down his throat, and drank one glass after another.

Seeing him like this, Su An opened his mouth in silence.

Fu Zhun never talked about the past, and although he only said a few words now, it was not difficult to see the many hidden secrets in them.

His mother died of illness in the cold palace...

No wonder he was so depressed and drank alone during the reunion festival.

Su An's eyes were filled with heartache. Without saying anything, he took the cup and poured himself some wine: "What's the point of drinking alone? I'll accompany you!"

After saying that, he imitated him and swallowed it in one gulp.

The strong liquor slid down his throat, burning like fire in an instant, causing Su An to shiver and his eyes to turn red.

Wow, this wine is so strong that she felt drunk immediately after drinking this glass, but Fu Zhun actually drank the whole pot!

"With your alcohol tolerance, you'll be drunk in just a few sips. You really don't think before you speak." Fu Zhun shook his head helplessly and reached out to snatch her wine jug.

"This wine is strong and not suitable for you."

Su An was immediately dissatisfied when he saw this, and covered his mouth with his hands and said: "You also know that strong liquor is harmful to the body. You don't feel sorry for yourself, but I feel sorry for you, right? As the saying goes, it's better to sacrifice your life for a gentleman. I drink it all, so you can drink less!"

Fu Zhun's dark pupils trembled and his outstretched hand stopped.

Su An directly picked up the whole wine jug and waved it towards him with a smile, "Drink one!"

"What?" Fu Zhun asked in surprise.

Su An clinked his wine cup with his without any hesitation, then raised his head and started to drink into his mouth.

"Gulp gurgle" and swallowed it heroically.

After a while, her fair face turned red and her eyes immediately became drunken.

Fu Zhun couldn't help but sneer. Since it was futile to stop him, he just followed his heart and swallowed all the wine.

The wine was still strong, burning his lungs, but this time he felt warmth from his heart.

Su An leaned over in a daze, patted his hand and said comfortingly: "Men have to shed tears, otherwise they will not shed tears! I will lend you my shoulder!"

Fu Zhun was slightly dazed. Looking at the loving look in Su An's eyes, he leaned down as if possessed by a ghost and buried his head in her neck and shoulders.

"..."

An Yi, who was hiding on the treetop, was so shocked that his pupils trembled and he almost fell down.

He stared in disbelief, looking at Jian Yi on the other tree, his jaw dropping in shock: "They...are not, the prince and Miss Su, always like this...?"

He had been carrying out other missions before and was transferred here when he set out for Jizhou. He had never seen this scene before!

Jian Yi was expressionless and nodded as if he was used to it: "Your Highness likes this, if you know what's good for you, stay away from him."

After saying this, he quickly retreated ten meters away.

An Yi didn't understand, but was greatly shocked. He retreated silently with a twitching mouth.

Su An drank so much that he didn't know what year it was.

So the next day at noon, she turned over in a daze, and when she felt something wrong under her hand, she didn't react at all.

"What is that?" She grabbed it vaguely. It was firm and elastic, and she was even more confused for a moment.

Where is her soft quilt?

Su An suddenly opened his eyes, but the next moment what caught his eye was the man's warm and broad chest.

And because of the scratching and kneading movements, there were still fresh scratch marks on the chest...

"???"

Su An suddenly had the urge to scream, but was too stunned to make a sound.

She raised her eyes slowly and with difficulty, and what she saw was Fu Zhun's perfect handsome face, and her eyes just opened.

Fu Zhun was awakened by a strange feeling in his chest.

Looking at Su An lying in front of him, one hand still clutching his chest, he took a deep breath and silently rolled his Adam's apple.

"Su'an?"

Su An's face suddenly turned red like a tomato. She jumped three feet away, holding her own dirty hands in disbelief, and spoke incoherently: "Don't, don't, don't call me, I don't know what's going on!"

Didn’t she stay drunk with Fu Zhun last night?

Could it be!

She looked at herself nervously for a moment, then at Fu Zhun, and found that their clothes were intact except that they were a little messy. She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief!

A blush spread from Fu Zhun's neck to his ears. He quickly turned his eyes away and coughed softly, "Jian Yi!"

"I'm here." Jian Yi's figure jumped in from the window, lowering his head and not daring to look directly at her.

Fu Zhun couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice: "What happened last night? Why is Miss Su here?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yi's expression twisted for a moment.

The corners of his mouth twitched for a long time. "Last night... the master and Miss Su were both drunk. Miss Su was unconscious and clung to the master, saying that she wanted to be the master's mother and refused to let go."

"I dare not move without permission, so I have no choice but to take the master and Miss Su back to the room!"

As Jian Yi finished speaking, Su An felt as if her head was exploding, and the overwhelming social death made her suffocate instantly.

She, she, she threw herself on Fu Zhun and said she wanted to be his mother?!

What a heartless joke!

"No! That's not me!"

Su An screamed out almost heartbreakingly. Without waiting for the people in the room to react, she jumped out of the bed and rushed out of the room with a flushed face.

Ahhhh——how can she face Fu Zhun again in the future!

Crazy crazy!

She was so embarrassed that she wanted to die. She covered her face and rushed out frantically, but happened to run into Zhou Li who happened to be passing by.

Zhou Li obviously knew what happened last night. The ambiguity in his eyes was almost flowing out. He laughed and greeted: "Princess, you woke up so soon. Anyway, we will be a family soon, why don't you sleep a little longer!"

These words stabbed Su An's fragile heart again, "I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

She denied it three times in a row, skipping Zhou Li without stopping, just wanting to be quiet.

However, just as he turned around, he suddenly ran into Xie Qingfeng who was walking with his hands behind his back.

Xie Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at her meaningfully: "...Young man, you still need to be restrained. After all, the prince's leg is not healed yet!"

Su An: "..."

He covered his face and ran away in panic.

The Mid-Autumn Festival passed quickly, but its lingering charm seemed to still linger in the air, making the entire Jizhou look more prosperous and lively.

This also led to Su An frantically looking for things to do in order to avoid embarrassment in the past few days, but she was a hero without a place to use her skills. No one needed her, so she could only go back to her old job as a cook.

But at the lunch table, Fu Zhun frowned and looked absent-minded, his eyes staring at her from time to time.

Finally, after finishing the meal, he spoke in a deep voice: "Xiao An, now that Jizhou has been settled, it's time for you to go home."
