Chapter 101 How can I lose this token of love?

Xiao Jinyan did not answer but asked: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Shen Chu frowned slightly: "I am just curious."

"In my study." Xiao Jinyan's voice was cold.

Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. Xiao Jinyan didn't eat it? And he even put it in the study...

At this moment, Shen Chuwei was even more grateful that she had resisted the urge to eat the dough figurine. Otherwise, if Xiao Jinyan asked her for one, where would she get him an identical dough figurine?

She put the dough figurine back into the white jade bottle with a guilty conscience. In fact, the dough figurine was still very cute.

Xiao Jinyan placed the cage on the table and motioned for her to come over and open it. "Come and see what this is?"

"Okay." Shen Chuwei walked briskly to the table, lifted the black cloth, and saw six little ducks, as if he saw a group of ducks~

She happily put down the black cloth and looked up at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, where did you pick this up?"

Seeing her happy, Xiao Jinyan praised her in her heart, saying that her brother was good at picking things.

"Jinyu sent it to me. I don't know where he picked it up."

"Prince Yu is quite knowledgeable." Shen Chuwei praised generously, looking down at the ducks and said, "Six little ducks are just right for six little chickens to keep company."

Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly: "What did you say? This is a duck?"

Shen Chu nodded, "Yes, this is the duck when it was young. It has grown bigger than a chicken."

"..." Xiao Jinyan asked again: "Were those six chickens last time?"

Shen Chuwei nodded as usual, staring at Xiao Jinyan in confusion, "Your Highness, don't you know that they are little chickens and little ducks?"

Xiao Jinyan was stumped by the question. He had never seen a chicken or a duck before, so of course he didn't recognize them.

Shen Chuwei touched his nose. How could he, a prince, have ever seen poultry?

She tugged at Xiao Jinyan's black sleeve and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to go see the chickens?"

Xiao Jinyan hadn't seen the six kids for a long time, so he nodded, "Yeah."

Shen Chuwei brought Xiao Jinyan all the way to the chicken coop. When passing the fish pond, Xiao Jinyan looked at it puzzledly, thinking that Shen Chuwei was planning to grow lotus flowers herself, so he didn't think much about it.

Arriving at the chicken coop, the first thing Xiao Jinyan saw was a fence. When he got closer, he glanced inside and did not see the six little fellows of different colors. Instead, there were six more species he did not recognize. It was not difficult to guess that these were the six little fellows he had sent over.

An unpleasant smell hit him in the face. He covered his nose and asked Shen Chuwei, "Are these six the ones I gave you?"

Shen Chuwei said: "Yes, the chicks have grown up and their down has fallen out, that's what it looks like."

Xiao Jinyan frowned and turned to leave the chicken coop. If he had known that the six little guys would grow up to be like this, he would never have sent them to Xiyun Pavilion.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Xiao Guizi and the others clean the place every day, so the smell isn't that bad." Shen Chuwei felt pretty good. Perhaps it was because Xiao Jinyan had a germaphobia, and any slight smell would be magnified infinitely by him.

Xiao Jinyan thought about it all the way, and when he returned to the house, he made a decision: "Xiyun Pavilion can't keep these things, what will it look like? Let them take the chickens out later."

When Shen Chuwei heard that Xiao Jinyan was going to take the chicken away, she was afraid that the duckling that had just been delivered would also be lost. In excitement, she grabbed Xiao Jinyan's hand and cried bitterly.

"Your Highness, this is a gift you gave to me. How can you just take it away like that?"

Xiao Jinyan had made up his mind, "How can we keep these things at home? We must take them away."

Shen Chuwei squeezed out two tears, "Your Highness, these are the tokens of love you gave me, how can you move them away?"

Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a moment, "A token of love?"

Shen Chuwei blinked her beautiful big eyes, "Isn't it?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at the two drops of crystal tears in Shen Chuwei's eyes hanging on her eyelashes, about to fall but not yet, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

He originally just wanted to give it to her as a toy, so how did it become a token of love?

"Your Highness, why don't you send them away? Look how cute they are!" Shen Chuwei pointed at the six little ducks on the table.

Xiao Jinyan looked at the little duck in the cage. It didn’t look ugly now, but who knows what it would look like when it grows up.

"Your Highness, how can you take back something that you have given away? Even if it is not a token of love, it was given to me by Your Highness, and I like it very much." Shen Chuwei said aggrievedly.

Xiao Jinyan now wants to call Xiao Jinyu over to give him a scolding and see what he has brought.

A noble lady, it would be ok for her to grow vegetables, but she actually raises chickens and ducks?

"They will grow up one day." The implication is that cuteness is only temporary.

Shen Chuwei said: "You can eat it when it grows up."

Xiao Jinyan thought for a while, wouldn't it be gone after he ate them up when he grew up? After he ate them up, he was determined not to allow anyone to send these things to Xiyun Pavilion.

He coughed lightly and said, "You are only allowed to keep these. No one else is allowed to send these things in the future."

Shen Chuwei raised his eyebrows happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."

As long as she had them, she would have endless chickens and ducks to eat, so it didn't matter whether they were given to her or not.

But later, Xiao Jinyan found that he could never finish eating all the chickens and ducks in the chicken coop. Often in the middle of the night, when he was in high spirits, a rooster would always crow at the top of its lungs, disturbing his interest.

If Shen Chuwei hadn't held him back, Xiao Jinyan would have picked up his sword and slaughtered the only rooster as a snack.

If the rooster is gone, it will be extinct. Shen Chuwei is willing to sacrifice her life to protect it!

Xiao Jinyan's expression turned from gloomy to bright as he looked at that fair and delicate little face. It's just a few chickens, so what?

"Are you almost done reading the book? Tomorrow the Imperial Palace will ask Liu Xi to deliver the remaining books."

The smile that Shen Chuwei had just put on her face slowly disappeared. She thought Xiao Jinyan had forgotten about this, but it turns out he did remember it?

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to handle this properly?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

Shen Chuwei drooped her shoulders. She could imagine her future life. How could a salted fish be forced to turn over?

Xiao Jinyan didn't see Shen Chuwei's look of despair, but said: "You are the most suitable one in this East Palace, do you understand?"

There are so many women around him, but none of them suits his taste.

Only Shen Chuwei in front of them was different from them.

She really didn't fight or compete with him, and she never scolded him.

...I don't know even if I scold him~

In short, no one is more suitable than her to help him manage the affairs of the East Palace.

Shen Chuwei smiled awkwardly but politely, "Prince, I really don't understand~"

There are so many women in the East Palace, why did you choose me?

If you tell me, can't I change?

Seeing her so worried, Xiao Jinyan thought of a possibility, "Are you afraid of the queen? Afraid that she will put pressure on you?"

Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up. She was just worrying about not having an excuse. You thought of it for me. She nodded in agreement, not forgetting to flatter me. "Your Highness is wise. I know that I am not smart enough and I am not liked by the Empress."
