Chapter 33 Are you two familiar with each other?
Shen Yue was pushed down: looking confused.jpg
Your sister!
If I wasn't afraid that you would have some psychological trauma, would I take the initiative to approach you?
I didn't say anything about where you put your hands just now, but you got angry when I touched your hand. Are you sick?
She suppressed her anger and returned to the other side, wiping the sweat from her forehead angrily.
This handkerchief has Xiao Yuheng's ambergris scent on it, it smells so good...
Ugh, uh, uh, uh, next time I won’t use his stuff to clean the tablecloth, humph!
The man had regained his composure by now, only his voice was still a little hoarse.
"Keep practicing."
After what happened just now, Shen Yue was in a state of confusion. "I don't want to practice."
"No, you do."
Forget it, I agreed not to talk back to him, so I’ll just practice.
She sat cross-legged again, and Xiao Yuheng did not disturb her. He just kept drinking tea. After what happened just now, his throat was inexplicably dry and he had to moisten it well.
When she first sat down, Shen Yue's heart was still a little confused, but as she listened to the even and quiet breathing opposite her and the occasional sound of adding tea, her distracting thoughts were gradually calmed down.
She slowly adjusted her breathing, and each breath became deep and even. The air flowed smoothly in her body, like a clear spring in the mountains, gurgling.
Just like that, she actually completed the entire set of mental skills. She slowly opened her eyes and felt that the meridians in her body were more unobstructed than ever before, and she felt much more energetic.
"Well done." Xiao Yuheng seemed very satisfied with his teaching results.
"You need to practice more in the future."
Everyone likes to be praised, and Shen Yue is no exception. She said "Oh" excitedly, then picked up the tea on the table and poured a cup of it.
After practicing for so long, she was already extremely thirsty. She drank two more cups before she realized that something was wrong with the man's expression.
"That's my cup," the man said with a dark face.
Shen Yue was shocked and immediately felt very upset. It was so embarrassing!
She smiled awkwardly, quickly took out a paper bag from her bosom and opened it:
"Your Highness, I didn't mean to do that. If you eat my dried plums, you won't be angry anymore, okay?"
Xiao Yuheng looked at the dry fruit in the paper bag and couldn't help but frowning, "I have no appetite at all."
"...Why don't you be so direct? If you don't eat it, I will."
Shen Yue rolled her eyes at him and started eating them one by one.
Seeing this, the man frowned even deeper.
"Isn't it sweet? You eat so much."
"What's wrong with sweet?" Which girl doesn't like sweet snacks?
"Besides, it's already so late, I'm starving!"
When the little shadow guard was hungry, there was a hint of complaint in his words.
Not only that, he also secretly glanced at the peach blossom cake opposite.
Xiao Yuheng is a very strange guy. Wherever he is, there will be a plate of peach blossom cake, but he never eats it. What a waste!
Shen Yue was just sighing when she saw the plate of peach blossom cake being pushed over by a big hand.
"Eat some first, the meal will be served soon."
Does this mean that he wants her to stay for dinner?
"Your Majesty, why don't you eat?"
Chen Yue didn't hesitate to pick up the peach blossom cake and took a big bite.
Looking at the cake crumbs at the corner of her lips, Xiao Yuheng was in a trance for a moment, "Ahem, I said I don't like sweets."
"Then you still prepare it every day..."
Xiao Yuheng heard this, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes:
"My mother loves peach blossom cakes. When we were in the capital, every time she made one, she would send one to my room. I don't like sweet things, so I always gave it to the servants. Now..."
Shen Yue was eating happily, but when she heard this, she paused chewing.
Xiao Yuheng left the capital at the age of sixteen, which means it's been five years. He must miss his mother terribly. So pitiful!
Shen Yue felt that she should comfort him at this time. Just as she was about to speak, Baozhu ordered the maids to come in with a tray.
Osmanthus shark's fin, crispy braised meat, Longjing shrimp, steamed sea bass, glutinous rice lotus root... More than ten plates of different sizes were placed on the table, and Shen Yue suddenly felt that he was not pitiful at all.
"Enjoy your meal, Your Majesty."
Baozhu bowed respectfully, then turned to Chen Yue and smiled meaningfully, "Second Director, enjoy your meal."
Shen Yue knew that the little girl was gossiping again and wanted to give her a warning look, but she scurried out the door.
Seeing the two of them flirting with each other, Xiao Yuheng asked sinisterly, "Are you two familiar with each other?"
"Ah? Not familiar at all."
Shen Yue laughed, and just as the chopsticks in her hand were about to touch the braised meat, they were hit by Xiao Yuheng's chopsticks.
"There are no rules. Looks like I still have to copy the Shadow Guard Code."
No, the Shadow Guard Code doesn't mention what the Shadow Guard should do when dining with the Prince!
After all, the shadow guards were not qualified to sit at the same table with the prince.
Seeing Shen Yue's aggrieved expression, Xiao Yuheng twitched his lips.
"Why don't you serve the food for me?"
Shen Yue: No, you're treating me to a meal? And you're asking me to work?
Forget it, as princes, they have always had everything handed to them.
"Your Majesty, which one would you like to eat?"
"Winter bamboo shoots, Chinese cabbage, shrimps, and sea bass." The man seemed to be very comfortable using her.
"No more?"
"Um."
Why do you serve so many dishes? Do you know that many children don't even have enough to eat?
Forget it, telling him would be like talking to a deaf person, so she decided not to say anything.
She took Xiao Yuheng's plate, picked up something randomly, and was about to put it back, but the man frowned: "It's not presented, it's not found fault, I don't want it."
"Hey, I'm hungry too!"
"Not pretending anymore?" The man raised his eyebrows.
"What...what to pretend or not, I'll choose."
Poor little shadow guard was so hungry that his stomach was rumbling. He spent a long time picking out the fish bones for the dog man, and then arranged the dishes he wanted before putting them in front of him.
The man raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Well done."
Nonsense, she has always been very demanding of herself. Either she doesn't do it, or she does it well.
Shen Yue had never eaten such delicious food since she traveled through time, so as expected, she ate too much.
She half-raised herself, touched her round belly, and looked at the remaining half of the table of food. She couldn't help but speak:
"Your Highness, you don't eat much. You can prepare less next time, otherwise it will be a waste."
Xiao Yuheng had lived like this for the past twenty-one years. The servants would remove the leftover food, and he had never realized the problem of "waste". Now that she said that, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"knew."
Seeing that he did not refute, Shen Yue felt that the sun was rising from the west. Just as she was about to tease him, Xiao Yuheng changed the subject.
“Shen Er, I think you are right.”
"ah?"
"It is inappropriate for me to leave a girl like Cheng Sijin in a brothel. Although she doesn't accept customers, it will still damage her reputation."
Shen Yue nodded. "But since the prince chose to meet Miss Cheng outside the palace, he must be suspicious of a mole in the palace and worried that they might eavesdrop on your information. Without Man Tingfang's cover, it would be much more difficult for you to meet. You can't always avoid the shadow guards and go to the east of the city to look for her, right?"
"So," Xiao Yuheng twirled his sleeves, "I want you to clean up the palace and find the traitor."
