Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

In an inconspicuous corner, a woman in light green palace dress glanced at Su An and then agreed.

"Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right. Your Highness, having lived in the palace for so long, may not be aware that this woman has been undisciplined in the countryside, behaving dissolutely and flirting with many men. If such a shameless person were to remain in the palace, it would inevitably pollute the harem's morals."

"In my opinion, it is better to send him away as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she raised her hand with a sarcastic look in her eyes and fanned her nose lightly.

It was as if he thought Su An was unlucky.

Su An heard the voice and looked over, staring at Li Wanyue, who was already dressed as a woman, with burning eyes, feeling amused in his heart.

In Fuyou County, Li Wanyue had caused her a lot of trouble.

I haven't even come to settle the score with her yet, but she's already trying to make a name for herself. How dare she?

Being stared at by everyone, Su An not only did not stand up, but instead arrogantly crossed his legs, curled up his red lips, and sneered with a half-smile.

"Oh, who was it I thought? It turned out to be Concubine Wan, who had an affair with His Majesty without a matchmaker and gained status through her son!"

"According to Wanpin, if I talk to a man for a few more words, I'm shameless. Then what do you call Wanpin's behavior of getting pregnant before marriage? Is it called excessive debauchery? Or is it just lewdness?"

Su An tilted her head slightly and blinked her big eyes innocently.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the concubines looked over and examined her belly.

That look contained jealousy and contempt...

Li Wanyue lost face yesterday and wanted to take the opportunity to make a comeback, but she didn't expect Su An to be so eloquent. In just a few words, he diverted everyone's attention to her.

The harem is different from the outside world, there are many ways to win favor.

Especially since she is now pregnant with Chu Yi's heir. If Su An reveals this now, she will definitely become the target of public criticism.

While thinking, Li Wanyue glared at Su An with a dark face, then carefully covered her belly with her sleeves, clenched her hands vigilantly, and secretly looked at the concubines, fearing that others would have bad intentions and harm the baby in her belly.

The Queen Mother blew on the tea in her hand and took a sip.

Looking at her leisurely look, it was obvious that she had no intention of interfering in this matter.

On the contrary, when Concubine Xian saw that Su An dared to talk back, her face was immediately filled with anger. She slammed her palm on the table, stood up, and blamed Su An:

"How dare you! No matter what Wanpin does, it's not your place as a village girl to judge."

"It's not enough that you don't know the rules and etiquette, but you're so bold as to speak vulgarly and insult His Majesty's concubines. In that case, I will teach you a lesson today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she took a few steps forward, got close to Su An, and raised her hands vigorously.

Damn it, if you can’t win the argument, just hit people, can’t you afford to have fun?

Seeing the palm fan coming, Su An was shocked and couldn't help but curse inwardly, pretending to lean back.

At the critical moment, the Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Xian fiercely, put down the teacup in her hand heavily and stopped her.

"How dare you! Miss Su is the fiancée of the King of Zhenbei, equivalent to half of the Princess of Zhenbei. Her status is no lower than that of Concubine Wan. Since Concubine Wan was the first to speak rudely, why can't Miss Su reprimand her?"

"It's the virtuous concubine, as the head of the four concubines in the harem, who has no tolerance for others and always speaks of village girl rules."

"Now, you're even trying to teach her the rules right in front of me. Could it be that Xianfei thinks my rules are not as good as yours? Then why don't you be the empress dowager?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother deliberately belittled her in order to protect Su An, Li Wanyue's eyes were filled with jealousy. She clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and the emotions in her eyes became dark and complicated.

The scolded Concubine Xian quickly stopped her posture, knelt on the ground in panic, and shook her head to defend herself.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother has misunderstood. I had no such intention. I simply felt that the dignity of the royal family could not be insulted, and that was why I was so anxious."

Seeing this, Li Wanyue also knelt down and cried aggrievedly.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have exposed Miss Su's shortcomings in front of so many people. I beg Miss Su to be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"

As she spoke, she looked at Concubine Xian with tears in her eyes and gave her kind advice.

"I know that Concubine Xian is out of kindness to help me out, but Miss Su is from the countryside after all, so it's normal that she doesn't understand the rules of the palace. Concubine Xian should stop arguing with Miss Su."

Su An frowned as he watched her direct and act out her own performance, feeling a chill in his heart.

He apologized and insulted others at the same time.

I've seen tea before, but I've never seen tea like this.

Su An was so excited by her that he felt itchy inside. He couldn't help shaking his legs and started to talk back.

"Yes, yes, what Wanpin said is right. I am from the countryside, and I am indeed not as magnanimous and courteous as you noble ladies in the capital. I am very petty, so I do not accept Wanpin's apology."

No, why doesn't she follow the routine?

Li Wanyue was stunned by these words and didn't know what to say in response.

Perhaps because she was at a loss, her face turned red, making her look pitiful.

How dare a country girl from the countryside put on such high airs? This is too much! This is simply too much!

The virtuous concubine's facial features were distorted with anger, and she looked up and glared at her angrily.

"Su An, Concubine Wan was kind enough to plead for you, but you are so ungrateful. I have been too kind to you, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey, that's not something you can say. The virtuous concubine hasn't been kind to her too much, it's clear that she hasn't been kind to her at all. I believe I haven't offended the virtuous concubine, but ever since I entered this palace, the virtuous concubine has been glaring at me. How can she be kind to me at all?"

Hearing this, Su An quickly waved his hands and argued with her seriously.

Then she stretched out her fingers, drew circles in the air, and muttered while smiling with her fangs showing.

"As the saying goes, those who respect others will always be respected by others, and those who disrespect others... will be scolded by everyone. The virtuous concubine treated me so well, and I didn't say anything to give her face. Empress Dowager, am I right?"

What kind of crooked and evil theory is this?

The virtuous concubine was so angry that her chest heaved violently and her breathing became disordered.

She raised her hand and pointed at Su An, and was about to scold him, but she saw the Queen Mother suppress the smile on her lips, frowned seriously, and gave a look to the palace maid next to her.

"Miss Su is right. The virtuous concubine is so emotionally unstable. I'm afraid she's ill."

"Come here, take Concubine Xian out and have the imperial physician examine her. Don't delay her treatment."

Before the virtuous concubine could say anything, she was carried out by the palace maids.

Seeing this, Li Wanyue's heart tightened and she clenched her fingers tighter.

The Queen Mother glanced down at her condescendingly and snorted coldly.

"As for Concubine Wan, how did she get into the harem? I'm sure she knows it best. Now that she's pregnant, she should be thinking about the baby in her womb, taking care of it peacefully, and not having any unnecessary thoughts."
