Chapter 118 The meal is gone

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Xiao Jinyu behind him and asked, "Is it appropriate for you to leave her alone in the palace?"

Xiao Jinyu didn't realize that Xiao Jinyan meant to chase her away. "It's okay. Someone will serve her."

Xiao Jinyan looked sullen and did not continue the topic.

When they were almost at Xiyun Pavilion, Xiao Jinyu suddenly asked curiously, "Brother, I have a question for you."

Xiao Jinyan: "Ask."

In front of the Crown Prince, Xiao Jinyu never beats around the bush when speaking, "If I marry a concubine, will it be difficult?"

Xiao Jinyan snorted and said, "How difficult is that? As long as you want, Mother will help you arrange it."

Xiao Jinyu said: "It was arranged by my mother, so can it still be considered that I want to marry a concubine?"

Xiao Jinyan: "It's good to know."

Xiao Jinyu sighed, then approached with a gossipy look on her face, "Brother, do you like any of the women that the Queen Mother chose for you?"

Xiao Jinyan paused when he heard this and said, "No."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyu felt that the prince brother was too pitiful and felt sorry for him for two seconds. After two seconds, he comforted him: "Brother, one day in the future, you will definitely meet a girl you like."

Later, when Xiao Jinyu was forced to feed a big mouthful of dog food from time to time, he discovered that Xiao Chou was actually himself.

Xiao Jinyan ignored Xiao Jinyu's comfort and strode into Xiyun Pavilion.

In Xiao Jinyu's eyes, that was an expression of sadness, so he decided to be a good boy and not make the prince angry.

Food gets cold easily in winter, so Chunxi saw the prince coming from a distance and then started cooking.

Xiao Jinyu called sister-in-law and asked someone to take him to see the little guy.

When he saw the twelve ugly chickens and ducks in the chicken coop, he was devastated.

Xiao Jinyu covered his nose. No wonder the Crown Prince was unhappy. Who could stand this smell?

When Xiao Jinyu came back, the food had already been served. He could smell the delicious food as soon as he stepped through the door. He sat down at the table with a smile on his face. Looking at the four dishes and a soup in front of him, he praised, "What a sumptuous dinner."

There have never been many dishes in Xiyun Pavilion. Before Xiao Jinyan came, there were two dishes and one soup, but after he came, there were three dishes and one soup.

Today, Prince Yu came, so an additional dish was added.

The prince usually has six dishes and one soup for meals. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell whether the meal is rich or not.

Shen Chuwei looked at the prince and the prince in front of him. It was the prince who came to eat and brought his family with him.

After the Crown Prince picked up his chopsticks, Shen Chuwei picked up the rice and started eating.

Xiao Jinyu couldn't wait to pick up the dish and put it into his mouth. He found that it tasted very good and was completely different from the food prepared in the kitchen.

The food in the kitchen was fancy, unlike the four dishes and one soup in front of me, which looked ordinary but tasted great.

No wonder the Crown Prince wanted to have dinner at Xiyun Pavilion, it turned out to be because the food was delicious.

There was one chicken leg left on the plate. Xiao Jinyu stretched out her chopsticks to put it into her bowl, but Xiao Jinyan got there first.

He watched with envy as the prince put the chicken leg into Shen Chuwei's bowl.

When Shen Chuwei saw the chicken drumstick in the bowl, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan said: "Eat more, you are too thin."

Xiao Jinyu: "..." What happened to the person you said you didn't like? Do you feel like you've eaten a bunch of dog food for him?

By the end of the meal, there was no more food or rice.

The three of them stared at their empty plates because they were not full yet.

Xiao Jinyu only ate half of his meal, and he felt it necessary to remind her, "Sister-in-law, please prepare one more dish next time. Look, all the food is gone."

"...The rice is gone." Shen Chuwei had only eaten half full. Who knew that with the addition of Prince Yu, there would be no food?

"What should I do? I'm still growing, and I won't grow if I don't eat enough." Xiao Jinyu said that he can still eat, and if possible, he will cook some more meals.

Shen Chuwei, "..." I'm still growing, what did I say?

She looked at Xiao Jinyan and saw that he had put down his bowl and chopsticks. "Your Highness, are you full?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jinyan responded superficially, but he was actually not full. Who knew that Xiao Jinyu had such a big appetite?

"Okay then." Shen Chuwei originally thought that since Xiao Jinyan didn't eat enough, she would have a reason to ask Chunxi to do some more, but now she doesn't even have a reason.

Xiao Jinyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jinyu, "Dinner is over, why don't you go back?"

"I'll go back now." Xiao Jinyu put down his chopsticks reluctantly, and before leaving, he reminded Shen Chuwei, "Sister-in-law, prepare more food next time."

Shen Chuwei: “…” So you’re on board with this?

After dinner, Chunxi brewed a cup of fresh tea and brought it over.

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan drinking tea. She was not full and probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

She suddenly thought of something very important, which was calligraphy practice. She hadn't written a single word in the past few days. What if Xiao Jinyan said she wanted to check her homework?

Shen Chuwei decided to take the initiative. She reached out and tugged at Xiao Jinyan's sleeve, "Your Highness, can you teach me calligraphy later?"

I didn't expect that when I traveled to ancient times, I would use the modern method of diverting the teacher's attention~

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and saw her looking at him expectantly with closed eyes. He hadn't taught her calligraphy for a few days, so tonight was a good chance for him to teach her.

"Um."

Shen Chuwei chuckled in her heart. This method is indeed applicable in ancient and modern times.

After drinking tea, Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan to the inner room.

There was a desk in the inner room. Shen Chuwei went forward and placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes to look at the pen on the desk and asked Shen Chuwei, "Why don't you use the pen I gave you?"

Shen Chuwei put the pen that Xiao Jinyan gave her into the space. She didn't dare to say it because she was afraid that she couldn't afford the compensation if it was broken.

"That is the pen that Your Highness gave me. It is very precious and I am reluctant to use it."

Shen Chuwei's voice was as sweet as soft candy. Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but stare at her for a while. "It's right to keep it well. You should also take it out and use it often. It's called a pen, so of course it's most suitable for writing."

Shen Chuwei nodded obediently: "I understand."

Xiao Jinyan: "Come here, I will teach you how to practice calligraphy."

Shen Chuwei took two steps forward and stood beside Xiao Jinyan. Just like last time, Xiao Jinyan taught her how to write step by step.

It is undeniable that Xiao Jinyan is indeed a very strict teacher.

Shen Chuwei didn't know how many words she had written. She only knew that her hands were sore. The key was that the Crown Prince had no intention of stopping. It was like a teacher dragging out the class and the students were looking forward to the end of school.

As a teacher, Xiao Jinyan, once serious, does not realize that time slips away between his fingers unknowingly.

He also forgot that Shen Chuwei was not him, and how could he endure holding a pen and practicing calligraphy for a long time.

When Shen Chuwei's hands became weak and his arms became sore, Xiao Jinyan's cold voice came from above his head: "I'll stop writing here today."

Shen Chuwei breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over. If she continued practicing, her hands would become useless.

Xiao Jinyan said: "Tell them to prepare hot water. I want to take a bath."
