Chapter 135: Shocked! His Highness actually took the initiative to hold her hand
Recently, who His Highness will bring to the New Year's Eve family dinner has become a hot topic among everyone.
Whoever Your Highness takes with you will tell you who is favored.
After Chang Liangdi said this, she first explained that she didn't go because she caught a cold, not because His Highness didn't want to take her.
Then he tried to sow discord between Shen Chuwei and Xu Cefei. If they only had a superficial friendship, there would be all kinds of suspicion and competition for favor.
Shen Chuwei was feeling a little drowsy at this moment. If Tao Chenghui and Xu Cefei hadn't been holding her on both sides, she would probably have wanted to find a sheltered place to sleep for a while.
Listening to Chang Liangdi's words, she guessed that Chang Liangdi deliberately said that she had caught a cold. Her purpose was not to avoid attending the New Year's Eve family dinner, but to let Xiao Jinyan coax her.
As it turned out, Xiao Jinyan was also a proud person. He thought that Chang Liangdi was unwilling to go with him, so he went from Xinlan Palace to her Xiyun Pavilion in anger, and the scene last night happened.
She, as a tool, got a bargain.
"It's rare that Chang Liang Di came out to appreciate the plum blossoms even though she caught a cold. It's a pity that she can't have the family dinner on New Year's Eve." Concubine Xu looked at Shen Chuwei beside her with a smile on her face, "Your Highness dotes on Shen Liang Di so much, so it must be Shen Liang Di who will attend the family dinner on New Year's Eve tonight."
What this means is that it is really strange that you can go out to appreciate the plum blossoms when you have a cold, but you cannot attend the family dinner on New Year's Eve!
Although Concubine Xu is not as scheming as others, she is not stupid either.
His Highness goes to Xiyun Pavilion every few days, so it is very likely that Shen Chuwei will go there. Although she also wants to go, His Highness will not take her.
However, she was happy that Chang Liangdi couldn't go!
Chang Liangdi clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She was naturally embarrassed when Concubine Xu said it so bluntly.
She raised her handkerchief and coughed a few times, then said in a hoarse voice, "No matter how much your Highness dotes on Concubine Shen Liang, Concubine Xu is still a concubine. How can Concubine Shen Liang have the nerve to bypass Concubine Xu?"
Chang Liangdi said as she looked at Shen Chuwei, with a smile on her lips: "Shen Liangdi, don't you think this makes sense?"
Shen Chuwei spread her hands and shrugged helplessly: "I don't know as much as Chang Liangdi, I only know to follow your instructions."
She said, you guys can make as much noise as you like, anyway she just eats what she’s supposed to eat and drinks what she’s supposed to drink!
The smile on Chang Liangdi's lips froze.
Concubine Xu adjusted the pearl flower on her temples and said, "Shen Liang Di is right. How can we know as much as Chang Liang Di? Whatever His Highness says is what we should do. We just need to listen."
We can't talk any more after this, and there's no need to talk any more.
Chang Liangdi left first, using the excuse that she had caught a cold and felt unwell.
After being punished, Li Liangyuan calmed down a lot, turned around and left with Chang Liangdi.
Concubine Xu snorted, "It's obvious that His Highness didn't want to take you with him, and he insisted that you couldn't go because you had caught a cold."
Shen Chuwei said that Yunu has nothing to do!
There is still half an hour before the New Year's Eve family dinner.
After Shen Chuwei took a bath, Chunxi helped her put on new clothes.
Long before, Chunxi took the fabric gifted by the Empress Dowager to the Clothing Bureau to order new clothes, which she could wear tonight.
Shen Chuwei saw that the complicated clothes affected her speed in eating and expressed her disapproval, "Chunxi, change into something else."
"My lady, tonight is the New Year's Eve family dinner. The royal family pays the most attention to etiquette, and even more so to clothing. If you are not dressed appropriately and His Highness is unhappy, you can forget about going to the family dinner."
As soon as Chunxi said this, he immediately grabbed Shen Chuwei and said, "I'll wear it."
After putting on the dress, Chunxi pulled her to the dressing table and helped her dress up.
When Chunxi inserted the two golden handshakes on his head, Shen Chuwei was a little worried about his neck.
When Shen Chuwei was dressed neatly, she was supported by Chun Xichan and walked out of Xiyun Pavilion.
Xiao Jinyan was also dressed very formally tonight. When he saw Shen Chuwei wearing a gorgeous dress, it was obvious that she was dressed up from head to toe.
It is said that clothes make the man, and when Shen Chuwei wears this outfit, she immediately looks like a princess.
“This is a nice dress.”
Chunxi felt somewhat proud upon hearing this, she was sure that her vision was correct.
"Let's go." Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and walked away first.
Shen Chuwei wanted to lift the hem of her skirt, but Chunxi stopped her, "My lady, you can't lift the hem of your skirt. It's not proper."
"Okay." Shen Chuwei lowered her eyes and glanced at the hem of her skirt. She could only let it drag on the ground. She walked slowly forward to avoid falling.
Xiao Jinyan didn't know whether he was deliberately slowing down his pace or matching Shen Chuwei's pace; he didn't walk very fast.
When they were almost at the Daming Palace, Shen Chuwei accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt. Her balance was unstable for a moment and she fell directly into Xiao Jinyan.
"Ah!!" There was a flash of panic in her eyes. If she fell down, she would not be able to enjoy the family dinner.
"My lady!" When Chunxi saw this and wanted to reach out to help, it was too late.
Xiao Jinyan was quick to stretch out his arms and picked up the person who was about to fall to the ground steadily in his arms.
Shen Chuwei grasped Xiao Jinyan's sleeves tightly with both hands and took a long breath. She almost missed the family dinner on New Year's Eve.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, and said sincerely: "Fortunately, Your Highness is here, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and glanced at the hem of Shen Chuwei's clothes. Because it was a dress, the hem was very long and it would be easy for her to fall.
He extended his hand toward Shen Chuwei.
Shen Chuwei looked at the hand that was suddenly extended to him, and looked at Xiao Jinyan with a puzzled look, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Xiao Jinyan said: "The road is slippery at night, it will be better if I hold you."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Chuwei was a little flattered. After hesitating for a while, she put her hand into the beautiful big hand in front of her, and then was held by that big hand. The warm palm made her feel a little hot.
This was the first time that Xiao Jinyan held a girl's hand. He did it very naturally and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
With Xiao Jinyan by her side, Shen Chuwei no longer fell and followed Xiao Jinyan smoothly into the Daming Palace and sat next to Xiao Jinyan.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne and the empress sat on the throne on the right.
The concubines sat on both sides, and below the king were the seats for the princes.
The delicious dishes were brought up one after another by the palace maids.
Shen Chuwei stared at the dishes in front of her that she had never seen before, licked her lips, and waited for the emperor to give the order so that she could start eating.
The palace music sounded, and six dancers danced gracefully in the center of the huge palace.
When the emperor raised the wine glass, Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan's movements, picked up the glass, waited for the emperor to finish speaking, and then imitated Xiao Jinyan to drink the wine in the glass.
Shen Chuwei looked at the dishes in front of her that she couldn't name, picked up her chopsticks and put some into the bowl, took a bite, thought it tasted good, and put some more into the bowl.
It was finished in a short while.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan placed the copy in front of him in front of her.
Shen Chuwei saw a plate of delicious food suddenly in front of her. She turned her head to see Xiao Jinyan looking at her. She happily smiled at Xiao Jinyan, then lowered her head and continued eating.
This scene was seen by Concubine Yun who was standing by. She also noticed that the prince did not bring the queen's niece to the family dinner, so she pretended not to know.
"The one next to the Crown Prince must be the Queen's niece, Chang Liang Di, right? I heard that Chang Liang Di is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if I can have the honor of seeing her today?"
