Chapter 119 Seeing What You Shouldn’t See

"I'll go right away." Shen Chuwei put down the pen in her hand, turned around, lifted the curtain and walked out.

Chunxi has been guarding the door.

"Chunxi, ask them to prepare hot water. His Highness wants to take a bath." Shen Chuwei leaned close to Chunxi's ear and said with a smile, "I'm hungry. Bring me some cakes."

Chunxi said seriously, "My lady, it's so late, Your Highness is not allowed to eat cakes."

Shen Chuwei tapped Chunxi's forehead: "Are you my maid or Xiao Jinyan's maid? Did you know that your mistress is starving to death?"

Chunxi pouted three times, "My lady, the word death cannot be spoken carelessly, it is unlucky."

Shen Chuwei didn't care about good or bad luck now, she was already hungry.

"Okay, okay, go get me something to eat, or I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"I'll get it right away." Chunxi ran out and told the little rabbit to prepare hot water. Then she went into the small kitchen to get some cakes.

When I entered the kitchen, I found that the last bit of pastries of the day had already been eaten by the young lady in the afternoon.

She stared at the small kitchen for a long time and could only prepare some food.

After the hot water was prepared, Shen Chuwei stepped forward to help Xiao Jinyan take off his clothes. In winter, the clothes he wore were thicker than usual, especially the outer robe, which was long and heavy.

After Shen Chuwei took off her clothes, she held her outer robe and was about to put it on the hanger. However, one of her feet stepped on the hem of the robe, causing her balance to become unstable and she fell to the ground.

Xiao Jinyan quickly stretched out his arms and held her in his arms before she fell.

Shen Chuwei instinctively stretched out her hands and grabbed around randomly, until her body was hugged by someone, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet and the air seemed to be frozen.

Shen Chuwei slowly opened her eyes and saw a white patch of flesh against her face, a warm touch, and a strong heartbeat in her ears.

She was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was pressed against Xiao Jinyan's chest, and she had just torn open Xiao Jinyan's collar when she grabbed randomly.

She quickly stepped back and looked at a scar on the fair skin in front of her, which was located right on the chest.

Due to an occupational disease, she reached out and touched the scar. She could clearly feel the uneven texture. Judging from the color of the scar, it should be five or six years old.

When his clothes were ripped open, Xiao Jinyan didn't notice it because he was hugging Shen Chuwei. It wasn't until a hand touched his chest that he was startled. He subconsciously pushed Shen Chuwei away, pulled his clothes and said, "I'm going to take a bath."

After saying that, he strode behind the screen.

Shen Chuwei was stunned on the spot. She looked down at her hand. She just touched it, but why was there such a big reaction?

When I kissed him on the face, I didn't see him looking so disgusted!

With doubt, she picked up the clothes that had fallen on the ground and hung them on the hanger.

After waiting for a long time, Chunxi didn't bring any cakes, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Shen Chuwei listened to the sound of water. Xiao Jinyan was almost done bathing, so why had Chunxi's pastries not been delivered yet?

She wanted to eat something while Xiao Jinyan was taking a bath, but how would she have the chance to eat after he came out?

Even after Xiao Jinyan came out of the bath, she still hadn't waited for Chunxi to bring in the cakes.

After the awkward scene just now, Shen Chuwei walked past Xiao Jinyan with her head down, holding the clothes.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and watched Shen Chu walk behind the screen with his head lowered. He grabbed the collar of his clothes and could feel the scar on his chest through his clothes.

The water in the bathtub has been changed. Shen Chuwei took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub, touching her empty stomach. Would Chunxi have forgotten to bring her some cakes?

She sighed. It felt really bad to be hungry.

Xiao Jinyan was sitting at the table drinking tea when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He turned his head to glance at the screen, then stood up and walked to the door.

As soon as the door opened, he saw a plate of snacks in front of him. He reached out to take it, and then heard Chunxi say, "My lady, we have run out of cakes today, so we can only make some hot pot. Please have some."

Chunxi didn't know that the snacks were being served by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so she closed the door after she finished speaking.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the hot pot on the plate. It was the first time he had seen this kind of food. He turned around and walked to the table with the snacks and placed them on the table.

Shen Chuwei came out of the bath and saw Xiao Jinyan hadn't gotten into bed yet. She asked in confusion, "Your Highness, aren't you going to sleep?"

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the snacks on the table and asked, "Did you ask Chunxi to bring this?"

Shen Chu looked at the table with some confusion, and found a plate of hot pot on it. Her eyes lit up at first, but then she became extremely embarrassed.

"I am hungry, so I asked Chunxi to bring some cakes to fill my stomach."

Xiao Jinyan didn't say anything, "Eat, and then go to bed early."

Shen Chuwei happily sat down at the table after hearing that, picked up a piece of hotpot, put it in her mouth and took a bite. It was crispy and delicious.

Guoba is made of glutinous rice and then fried in oil, which is particularly fragrant.

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei while she was eating. Although she was not elegant and dignified, he found it pleasing to the eye.

Shen Chuwei noticed that Xiao Jinyan was staring at her. Based on her understanding of Xiao Jinyan, she thought that if she ate another piece, she would probably be scolded.

She turned her passive attitude into active, picked up a piece and passed it to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, have one too, it's very delicious."

Xiao Jinyan said calmly: "I have already washed up."

"You can eat after washing up. At worst you can just wash up again later." Shen Chuwei said as she put the pot to his lips, motioning him to eat it.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes to look at the golden hot pot crust, opened his mouth and took a bite. It was crispy and delicious, indeed very tasty.

After Shen Chuwei saw him eat, she continued eating with peace of mind.

After finishing a plate of golden and crispy hotpot, Shen Chuwei showed a satisfied expression.

Xiao Jinyan had the habit of not eating before going to bed, and this was the second time he made an exception. He ate two pieces of dough.

When lying on the bed, Shen Chuwei was holding a cat pillow and was about to close her eyes and go to sleep, the cat pillow in her arms was taken away by Xiao Jinyan.

"Your Highness, why did you take the cat pillow away?"

Xiao Jinyan placed the cat pillow on the bedside table and said calmly, "It's too troublesome."

"...But," she was used to sleeping with something in her arms, so she couldn't do it without a cat pillow, otherwise she would accidentally use Xiao Jinyan's arm as a pillow, just like last time~

Xiao Jinyan said, "Go to sleep."

Shen Chuwei felt uncomfortable with having empty hands. As there was no pillow in her arms, she closed her eyes for a long time before falling asleep.

Qiancheng Hall

When Xiao Jinyu came out of the bath, he saw a person sitting in front of the table. The person was wearing plain clothes, with long hair casually scattered on his shoulders, and his hair was tied up in a simple and elegant style. There was only a peach blossom hairpin on his hair.

Sitting there quietly, like a snow lotus on an iceberg.

He walked over in surprise, "Miss Han, why are you here?"

Han Yan raised her beautiful eyes and said, "I am now Prince Yu's servant, so of course I am here to serve Prince Yu."
