I just want to live a good life

Chapter 418 What Others Have Left

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was curious about the porridge brought by his kitchen steward.

"Is this the porridge that Concubine Xia made for Cai Ya?"

Kang Dahong said proudly: "Of course not. How can a servant like Cai Ya drink such porridge? This is specially made for you, Your Highness. Your Highness, please try it?"

"So this isn't the kind of porridge that Concubine Xia made?"

"..."

Chief Steward Kang looked a little unnatural.

Mu Yunting really wanted to hit someone, but hitting someone just for a bowl of porridge was too violent.

He took a deep breath, and then another deep breath, before he spoke: "Kang Dahong, take your porridge and leave. I don't want to see you again."

"But your highness, you haven't even tasted this porridge."

"Take it away."

The cold voice was as sharp as icicles in the winter.

No matter how much Kang Dahong wanted to show off his cooking skills, he no longer had the heart to do so. Without waiting for the Crown Prince to say anything else, he quickly picked up the bowl of porridge and left.

As soon as he left, Ye Yin pushed the door open and came in with a food box in his hand.

"Your Highness, I have brought you some porridge."

"It's porridge again, take it away."

"Your Highness, you must want to drink this porridge, why don't you open it and take a look first."

Seeing Ye Yin's confident words, Mu Yunting became curious and couldn't help but reach out to open the food box. There was a bowl of porridge neatly placed inside. The porridge was made from several kinds of rice and some beans were added. It looked ordinary.

"Where does this porridge come from?"

Mu Yunting asked.

"I took it from Duiyueju."

Ye Yin answered truthfully.

"Is this something Concubine Xia gave to me?"

"..."

Ye Yin didn't dare to say that he had asked Concubine Xia for it. If he didn't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eat this bowl of porridge today, he was afraid that with His Royal Highness's temper, he would refuse to eat. He had just recovered from a cold and was still weak.

As a personal bodyguard, he cares a lot about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Ye Yin didn't say anything, so Mu Yunting took it as his consent. He immediately felt better and picked up the bowl of porridge and put it into his mouth.

After taking a bite, she smiled and said, "Sure enough, it was prepared for me. She knows that I love sweets, so this porridge is sweet."

Ye Yin thought of the look of disdain on Concubine Xia's face when he asked her for porridge. The porridge was not served by Concubine Xia herself, but by a maid.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be specially prepared for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but rather looks like their leftovers.

But seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was eating so happily, he would not tell the truth.

After finishing a bowl of porridge with great satisfaction, Mu Yunting was still a little unsatisfied, "Anything else?"

"Gone."

"No, she knows that I have a big appetite, so why did she only prepare a bowl of porridge? Did you steal some?"

Ye Yin was speechless. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only had a big appetite when eating the food cooked by Concubine Xia.

"Ye Yin dare not touch His Highness's food."

Ye Yin felt that even if he wanted to have a share of the prince's food, he would definitely not do it for the bowl of porridge left over by others.

"Look at you, you take it seriously. I was just kidding."

After Mu Yunting finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth with a smile.

Ye Yin felt that it would be better for him to leave quickly, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would say some inexplicable words.

"Your Highness, I will take my leave."

"Wait, I need you to do something."

Ye Yin's heart tightened, and he thought, His Highness must not let him go to Concubine Xia to ask for another bowl of porridge!

He asked for this bowl on the grounds that he wanted to drink it. What excuse could he use to ask for another bowl? Could he say that he didn’t have enough?

For the first time in his life, Ye Yin was frightened when he heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him to do something.

Su Nuan was in a good mood today, of course not because she drank Laba porridge, but because she finally found out the Crown Prince’s secret fund.

After the shopkeepers took the New Year's money that day, Manager Ding used the Crown Prince's small treasury.

That was a big business. The tea supplied to most of the tea houses in the imperial city came from the caravans under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The income from this alone could support the expenses of the Crown Prince's Mansion for a whole year.

Su Nuan was not interested in this caravan. She just wanted to know why Mu Yunting only gave her those unprofitable shops to manage. Was he affirming her ability or simply trying to fool her?
