Chapter 11 Your Highness, You Are So Kind

Chunxi looked up and saw His Highness. She was so scared that she immediately knelt down, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Your Highness the Crown Prince? Shen Chuwei held the fish in both hands and turned around in confusion. Seeing Xiao Jinyan standing behind her, she bowed and saluted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, may you be blessed with good health."

Before he finished speaking, the fish in his hand suddenly jumped out, and the black fish body with a fishy smell flew towards Xiao Jinyan.

"Your Highness... Be careful..."

Shen Chuwei was quick to grab Xiao Jinyan and pull him away.

The chubby fish fell heavily to the ground and fainted from the weight.

Shen Chuwei's heart finally settled down. Hitting the prince was no joke.

Xiao Jinyan looked coldly at the person who was holding him. The hand that smelled of fish was hugging his waist. The strong smell of fish surrounded his nose. He suppressed his disgust and said coldly, "Let me go."

Shen Chuwei then realized that she was hugging Xiao Jinyan's waist instead of his arm in a hurry.

When she raised her head, she saw Xiao Jinyan's disgusted eyes, let go of her hand and immediately took several steps back.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the fishing rod on the ground and asked, "Who allowed you to fish here?"

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan with her clear and bright eyes and pointed at the lotus pond. "Your Highness, there is no sign prohibiting fishing by the lotus pond."

Xiao Jinyan: “…”

Chunxi tugged at Shen Chuwei's sleeve and said, "My aunt, how can you speak to His Highness like that?"

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong." Shen Chuwei sighed secretly. Who made him the prince?

Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei for a long time and felt strange. His mind-reading skill clearly worked last time, so why didn't it work this time?

Thinking that his mother would still need to see him, he didn't plan to waste time.

“Go back!”

Shen Chuwei pointed at the black fish that had fainted on the ground and said, "Your Highness, can I take that fish away?"

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the black fish on the ground and remembered that the last time she made a wish, she also wanted a fish.

I haven't seen him for more than half a month, but you just want to take this dead fish away?

"Yes."

"You are so kind, Your Highness." Shen Chu smiled slightly, bent down, picked up the fish and put it into the bucket, then bowed to Xiao Jinyan, "I will take my leave."

Chunxi carried the bucket and followed Shen Chuwei back to Xiyun Pavilion.

Xiao Jinyan stood there watching Shen Chuwei's back as she left. She had a very satisfied expression on her face when she caught the fish just now. If she hadn't pretended to fall down and tried to throw herself into his arms that night, it would have been hard for anyone to suspect that Shen Chuwei was being deceitful.

Eunuch Liu came over and cautiously reminded: "Your Highness, the Queen is still waiting."

"Go back and change your clothes first." Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and strode back to the East Palace.

After changing into clean clothes, I went to Fengyi Palace.

When she arrived, the queen was eating donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest. Both donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest are beauty products.

The empress was almost forty years old, but she took good care of herself like a woman in her twenties. Her skin was smooth and elastic, and she wore delicate makeup and a bright red phoenix robe, looking elegant and graceful.

Xiao Jinyan stepped forward and saluted, "I, your son, greet you, your Majesty."

The queen put down the glass cup in her hand and said gently, "Jin'er, sit down and talk first."

"Yes, mother." Xiao Jinyan sat down as he was told.

The palace maid came forward to serve tea, then bowed her head and retreated.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "My Queen Mother asked me to come here. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"You've been married for half a year, how come there's no news? Look, the second prince got married later than you, and he's already received good news."

The queen appears gentle and noble on the surface, but she is roaring in her heart, I want to hold my grandson!

The Concubine Yun next door has grandchildren and is now a grandmother...

He shows off in front of her all day long, which makes me angry.

The women in the Eastern Palace were all handpicked by the Empress Dowager, and he didn't like any of them. Just because he didn't like them, he let his mother take care of everything.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes, unable to show it even though he was unhappy about this matter.

"I will work hard."

As the mistress of the six palaces, the empress had heard something about what happened in the Eastern Palace.

"What's the use of saying you'll work hard? You have to let them sleep with you. Lan'er is gentle and virtuous, you should get in touch with her more." Hurry up and have a baby. Your father already had several children when he was your age!

Xiao Jinyan's face was calm and he replied calmly, "Chang Liangdi's condition has not improved since she fell into the water. Doctor Yu suggested that she rest more."

The queen frowned. It was all Shen Fengyi's fault that Lan'er fell into the water and became seriously ill, but her son did not punish Shen Fengyi severely.

She looked at her son's cold look, not as lively and lovable as her younger son.

"Then it's Shen Liangdi."

"Shen Liangdi is observing fasting in the Buddhist temple."

“…”

"That Xu Liangyuan, she's very pretty and she's the legitimate daughter of General Xu."

Without waiting for her son to speak, she said, "Please leave. I am tired."

Xiao Jinyan stood up and said, "I will take my leave."

Walking out of Fengyi Palace, Xiao Jinyan's face looked a little gloomy. He knew that his mother liked his younger brother Xiao Jinyu.

After all, she was the one who raised Suzy Siu.

In the afternoon, Xu Liangyuan received a message from the Queen that she would be sleeping with the Queen tonight and was asked to prepare well.

She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, and proudly ordered: "Caixia, take out the best cream and fresh rose petals. I want to look beautiful when I meet His Highness."

"Congratulations, young lady, for finally getting what you wished for." Caixia happily went to prepare.

"My dear, I heard that Shen Fengyi couldn't wait to throw himself into your arms as soon as your highness returned to the East Palace today. However, your highness didn't take her seriously and was only devoted to you, my dear." Xiao Fuzi smiled ingratiatingly.

Xu Liangyuan happily adjusted the pearl flower on her temples and smiled arrogantly, "How dare she come out and compete for favors? Doesn't she even consider whether she is worthy of it?"

*

Eunuch Liu came in and asked, "Your Highness, there's news from Yixiang Palace that Xu Liangyuan wants to have dinner with Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan tightly grasped the book in his hand and frowned, suddenly remembering the scene in the lotus pond this morning, when Shen Chuwei caught fish with his bare hands and looked very satisfied.

"Okay, go ask Shen Fengyi to come over for dinner."

"Yes." After Eunuch Liu left, he went to Xiyun Pavilion first.

When Eunuch Liu arrived, Shen Chuwei was just about to have dinner.

Chunxi saw Eunuch Liu coming forward to greet him, "What do you want, Eunuch Liu?"

Eunuch Liu smiled and looked at Shen Chuwei, "Miss Shen, His Highness wants you to come over for dinner."

Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up when she heard this. His Highness's food is a hundred times better than that in Xiyun Pavilion. Of course, she would go, and go now.

"Okay, let's go now."

Eunuch Liu: "My lady, it is now."

Shen Chuwei stood up and walked a few steps before coming back. She pointed at the fried tomato and eggs on the table and asked Eunuch Liu, "Can I take this fried tomato and eggs with me?"

Eunuch Liu looked at the plate of fried eggs with tomatoes on the table. He only knew eggs. He hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded with a smile: "Ms. Shen, please do as you please."

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu." Shen Chuwei thanked him, and Chunxi then picked up the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and followed Eunuch Liu all the way to the prince's bedroom.

As soon as I stepped into the prince's bedroom, I ran into Xu Liangyuan.

Shen Chuwei was of low rank, and bowed when he saw Xu Liangyuan.

Xu Liangyuan saw Shen Fengyi and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
