Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

As their eyes met, a tingling sensation spread throughout their bodies, and the atmosphere began to heat up.

His lips look so soft and kissable.

Su An's pupils dilated slightly, and he couldn't help swallowing, and the thoughts in his mind became stronger.

The next moment, she suddenly grabbed his collar, stood on tiptoe and moved closer.

The handsome face magnified in front of him, even the delicate pores could be seen clearly. Su An's heart beat like a drum and his breathing became rapid.

The warm breath sprayed on his neck, Fu Zhun's eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but slide up and down.

But just when she was about to touch Fu Zhun's thin lips, a voice suddenly came from behind, completely breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between them.

"Miss Su, it's getting late. The Queen Mother asks you to go back and rest!"

Su An was so frightened that his feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Fu Zhun grabbed her waist in time to prevent her from being embarrassed.

Damn! I almost got a sneak kiss!

Su An was very upset, but when she thought about her behavior just now, her face turned red with shame. She quickly broke free from Fu Zhun's arms, looked away, and responded.

"coming!"

After saying this, she glanced at Fu Zhun's thin lips reluctantly, then lifted her skirt and left.

Only Fu Zhun was left standing there, savoring the memory.

She seemed to want to kiss him just now...

Thinking of this, Fu Zhun raised his hand and gently touched the corner of his lips, and the smile on his face magnified several times.

The Queen Mother's palace.

After being blown by the night wind, the blush on Su An's face had disappeared completely.

But thinking about the scene just now still makes her heart beat faster.

Looking at her amorous look, the Queen Mother frowned, pursed her lips, and scolded her angrily for not fighting back.

"You saw it just now. Li Wanyue had an affair with Your Majesty before they were even engaged. Now she's pregnant, and she's become a source of gossip. You're a smart person, and you should understand how important a woman's reputation is."

"Don't be foolish and follow in Li Wanyue's footsteps!"

Su An disagreed and shook his head in defense.

"I beg your pardon, Queen Mother, for not agreeing with this. Although Miss Li had an unmarried affair, which damaged her reputation, wasn't her goal to enter the palace as a concubine? Now she has achieved her goal, and has trampled many people under her feet."

"Everything in this world is inherently gaining and losing. Sacrificing something for what you want is inevitable. Besides, reputation is so illusory. As long as you know it in your heart, why bother with what others say?"

After hearing her words, the Queen Mother didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Looking at her fearless appearance, all the words in my heart turned into a sigh.

"Well, you don't understand it now, but you will understand it when the time comes."

"I say this for your own good."

Su An has heard this too many times.

Everyone says it's for her own good, but no one knows what she really wants.

After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother raised her hand, yawned, and said with a curved lip, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting late, so you should get some rest quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Su An didn't say anything more and lay down next to the Queen Mother with his clothes on.

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Su An was forcibly pulled out of bed by the palace maid.

Glancing out the window, she rubbed her eyes sleepily and muttered something in confusion.

"Is there something important today? Why are you up so early?"

The palace maid brought a basin over to wipe her face and wash her mouth, while also answering her questions.

"That's not the case, but the Empress Dowager gets up at this time every day. Soon, the concubines in the palace will come to the Cining Palace to pay their respects. If I don't get up now, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

After hearing this, Su An rolled his eyes and lay back on the bed.

She gets up earlier than the chickens. It seems that being the queen mother is not that easy.

Seeing this, the palace maid had no choice but to call a few people to lift her up and help her change her clothes.

It was around noon when Su An was brought into the main hall.

Seeing her yawning, the Queen Mother couldn't help but waved at her and patted the seat beside her.

"Come here and sit next to me."

Su An did not refuse. He ran to the Queen Mother's side and sat down. He drank a cup of tea and then felt much more sober.

Before the two of them could speak, the concubines in the palace entered the Cining Palace one after another to pay their respects to the empress dowager.

Looking at all the beauties, Su An couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although this dog emperor's character is not very good, he is very lucky in love. There are all kinds of beauties in the palace that make people dazzled, some are queen-like, some are young girls...

Perhaps it was because Su An was sitting next to the Queen Mother, and her position was too obvious, so it was difficult for the concubines in the palace not to notice her.

In addition, the power structures in the imperial palace are intertwined and complex, and the concubines in each palace will more or less cultivate their own power.

It was not difficult for them to learn the news that Su An was moving into the Cining Palace as Fu Zhun's fiancée.

At this time, seeing that Su An was very close to the Queen Mother, they couldn't help but want to please her and vied with each other to praise her.

"This must be the fiancée of the King of Zhenbei! She is so beautiful and lovely. No wonder she can make the thousand-year-old iron tree like the King of Zhenbei bloom!"

"I heard that Miss Su is also involved in business and owns quite a few shops. I'm really envious of her for being able to thrive in business."

"Yes, yes, Miss Su's skin is translucent and delicate. She doesn't look like someone who is about to get married. She looks more like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old. I wonder if she has any skin care tips? Miss Su, could you teach me a few tricks in private?"

……

These concubines kept talking here and there, which made Su An's scalp tingle.

But out of politeness, she couldn't help but respond, so she touched the tip of her nose awkwardly and replied in a low voice: "My ladies, you are too kind. Su An is just an ordinary country girl. You are too kind."

After saying this, she turned to look at the Queen Mother as if asking for help.

The Queen Mother chuckled and raised an eyebrow, glancing back at her, but showed no intention of helping her out.

Seeing this, Su An felt like crying but had no tears.

I finally understand what it felt like when Tang Monk accidentally entered the Spider Cave.

Seeing Su An being pursued by everyone, one of the women in pink and purple palace clothes clenched her sleeves, with disdain in her eyes, and sneered in annoyance.

"I'm just a country girl, yet you guys treat me like a precious treasure!"

"How can someone like you, who has no moral integrity, no talent, and no understanding of etiquette, be qualified to sit beside the Queen Mother? Why don't you leave immediately!"

The more she spoke, the more sarcastic her tone became.

This attracted everyone to look in the direction of the sound.

The person who spoke was Concubine Xian.

No one in the palace wanted to be her enemy. Those who had just been flattering Su An now kept their lips tightly shut and remained silent, fearing that they would be implicated by Su An.
