Lu Xingzhou looked at the dishes on the table with an embarrassed expression. Chen Liyue had already asked Lian Dong to take away some and send them to Nanny Song and Steward Jin, but there was still enough for two people left on the table.
If he finished eating this whole meal, Lu Xingzhou felt that he would be so full that he would not be able to walk even if he didn't die.
Shen Liyue smiled, her eyes curved into two arcs: "I will eat with the prince."
Lu Xingzhou had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks again, but he had to say that Shen Liyue's cooking skills were really good. The dishes she made were delicious and Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but salivate and ordered another bowl of rice.
Lu Xingzhou was busy all day and didn't come back until the evening, so he had time to talk to Shen Liyue.
"What do you want to bring back when you return home tomorrow?" Lu Xingzhou asked.
"Manager Jin has prepared everything for me. I took a quick look and there's nothing wrong with it," said Shen Liyue.
Lu Xingzhou picked up a piece of braised chicken and put it in Shen Liyue's bowl, saying, "Manager Jin prepared everything according to the regulations, so there's nothing wrong with it. It just lacks a little thought."
Chen Liyue was speechless. Why didn’t you remind me earlier? It’s already evening and all the shops are closed. Where can I prepare it if I tell you now?
Lu Xingzhou knew that Shen Liyue hadn't thought of this, so he smiled slyly: "I've prepared everything for you, it's all in the yard, let's go out and take a look after dinner."
Chen Liyue was a little surprised. No wonder Lu Xingzhou came back so late today. It turned out that he was preparing a gift for her to take back home.
Although Shen Liyue hadn't seen what Lu Xingzhou had prepared, she knew in her heart that what Lu Xingzhou had prepared must be good. She smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Lu Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't just talk, repay me later in the evening."
Shen Liyue's face flushed again. She added a piece of yam to Lu Xingzhou's bowl and said angrily, "Eat."
Maybe even Chen Liyue herself didn't realize that she was becoming more and more relaxed in front of Lu Xingzhou. When Lu Xingzhou saw Chen Liyue being so cute and lively, he liked her even more.
While eating, Shen Liyue suddenly remembered something and asked with her head tilted: "Two days ago at the wedding, Yun'er said that the extra dowry for me was in Prince Yi's mansion. Why haven't I seen it these two days?"
Chen Liyue didn't care about the value of the makeup Lu Yun gave her, but she cared about the thoughtfulness of Lu Yun in giving her makeup.
Speaking of this, Lu Xingzhou smiled and pointed to the golden nanmu bed in the room decorated with crabapple flowers. "Look, it's over there."
In fact, not only the step-up bed, but also the table and chairs in their bedroom that matched the step-up bed were added by Lu Yun.
When Lu Yun asked someone to move things in, Lu Xingzhou was shocked. It was such a big bed.
Lu Xingzhou still remembered that Lu Yun winked at him with a smirk on her face and said, "This bed is sturdy."
Lu Xingzhou was so angry that he wanted to hit her on the head, but he had to accept her "kindness".
These past two days, Lu Xingzhou was still thinking that Lu Yun's makeup additions were indeed very practical.
Shen Liyue looked up at the bed and wondered why Lu Yun was so frivolous.
After the two of them finished their dinner, servants came in to clean up.
Chen Liyue and Lu Xingzhou were both full, so Lu Xingzhou took Chen Liyue to the courtyard to digest the food and showed her the return gift he had prepared.
When Shen Liyue arrived at the courtyard, she saw it was filled with things. In addition to the regular gifts prepared by Manager Jin, Lu Xingzhou also made special preparations for everyone in the Shen family according to their preferences, not only for the first wife, but even for the third wife.
Shen Liyue smiled gratefully at Lu Xingzhou: "Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness is so thoughtful."
Lu Xingzhou said, "You don't have to thank me. I should thank my father-in-law and mother-in-law for marrying such a good daughter to me. But..." Lu Xingzhou changed the subject and said, "If you want to thank me, then go back to your room quickly."
Shen Liyue's face turned red, and she looked even more charming in the night.
Lu Xingzhou simply picked up Shen Liyue horizontally. Shen Liyue only felt her body lighten, and the next second she fell into Lu Xingzhou's strong chest.
They were so close that Shen Liyue could even hear Lu Xingzhou's heartbeat.
Shen Liyue buried her head in Lu Xingzhou's chest and didn't look at him. Lu Xingzhou laughed, walked quickly into the bedroom, and closed the door with a kick of his foot.
The four maids guarding the bedroom door all blushed. Seeing the prince and princess like this, they covered their mouths and laughed, avoiding and standing in the corner.
Early the next morning, Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue got up, dressed, had a simple breakfast, and then got on the carriage back to the Shen Mansion.
The current Shen Liyue is different from the past. She is now a princess, and the Shen family has to bow to her when they see her. But Shen Liyue is not good at accepting her parents' greetings, so she hurriedly went up to support them.
Seeing Shen Liyue, Shen Wangqiu, Jiang and Shen Weian were all very happy. Shen Liyue could not put on airs, so she walked up and affectionately took her father and mother's hands, and walked towards the main hall together.
Shen Weian walked behind and walked side by side with Lu Xingzhou, and said with a smile: "Yue'er is still so childish, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Lu Xingzhou smiled back and said, "That's how I like her."
Shen Weian looked at Lu Xingzhou deeply, and was relieved to see that Lu Xingzhou's expression did not seem to be polite, but he really liked Shen Liyue.
Arriving at the main hall, Shen Liyue unexpectedly discovered that Madam Shen was sitting in a wheelchair, waiting for them in the main hall.
Shen Liyue quietly turned her head to glance at her mother. Jiang whispered, "She wanted to come on her own. She sent someone to tell her yesterday that she didn't attend your wedding because she wasn't feeling well. She had to come and see you today when you returned home."
Chen Liyue nodded slightly. Come if you want. It doesn't matter whether you come or not.
According to the rules, Old Lady Shen was supposed to bow when she saw Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue, but she was not very mobile, and Shen Liyue was her granddaughter, so Old Lady Shen just nodded to them. Shen Liyue, on the other hand, bowed slightly to Old Lady Shen and said, "Grandma."
In front of Lu Xingzhou, Madam Shen rarely smiled, and her friendly expression made Shen Liyue feel a little uncomfortable.
"You're back, come and sit down." said Mrs. Shen.
When they sat down, they were unsurprisingly humble again. Shen Wangqiu and Jiang wanted Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue to sit in the seats of honor, but Lu Xingzhou naturally refused. In the end, Shen Liyue stomped her feet and pulled her father and mother to sit in the seats of honor.
"If Mom and Dad continue to be so modest, I won't come back next time!" Shen Liyue said coquettishly.
Chen Wangqiu said, "What are you talking about? Your mother is looking forward to your return every day. She said that you have been married for only two days, but the house has become much quieter."
Seeing that Lu Xingzhou was still nearby, Jiang gave Chen Wangqiu a reproachful look. How could she say that in front of the prince?
"Don't listen to your father's nonsense. It's actually a lot quieter at home when you're not making noise." Jiang said with a smile.
