Chapter 151 Condescension

Shen Chuwei looked at the slender figure walking towards her and sighed helplessly. If she came a little later, she would have finished her meal.

There was still a mouthful of noodles left, and she didn't know whether to eat it or not. She just sat there in awkwardness.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the monk and discovered that it was the monk who held the incense today.

He turned his gaze back to Shen Chuwei and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Chuwei sucked the two noodles hanging on her lips into her mouth. She raised her hand to wipe her mouth, stood up and bowed.

The instant noodles were right in front of her, so she had to tell the truth: "I am eating instant noodles."

The little monk also stood up, clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan ignored the monk and kept his eyes on Shen Chuwei. He glanced at the small bucket on the table and asked, "You sneaked out just to eat noodles?"

Shen Chu nodded guiltily, "Yeah."

She originally wanted to eat roasted rabbit meat, but unfortunately killing animals was not allowed near the temple, so she could only eat instant noodles.

She didn't even dare to put in the ham sausage, for fear of embarrassing the little monk.

Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes to look at the monk again and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Chuwei said: "Your Highness, the little monk is here to get hot water for me."

Xiao Jinyan's voice deepened: "I'm asking him."

"Oh." Shen Chu lowered his eyes and said no more.

"I, a poor monk, met Shen Liangdi by chance and helped her fetch water." The little monk answered concisely.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the bucket on the table. It was too dark to see if there were any noodles in it. "Are you done eating?"

Shen Chuwei said: "Your Highness, I haven't finished eating yet."

Xiao Jinyan: "Eat quickly, and then go back with me."

"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Chuwei immediately sat down again, picked up the fork, rolled up the last bite, put it into his mouth, then took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and stood up.

"Your Highness, I have finished eating."

Xiao Jinyan saw her eat a mouthful of noodles with her own eyes, which means that she didn't let go of the noodles even though there were only a few noodles in the bucket.

He reached out and grabbed Shen Chuwei's hand, holding it tightly in his palm, "Go back."

Shen Chuwei's eyes fell on the hands of the two people. Is this considered holding hands? And it's the second time. The first time was at the family dinner on New Year's Eve. In order to prevent a fall, Xiao Jinyan held her hand and walked.

Although she was Xiao Jinyan's concubine, holding hands was not a problem.

But she just felt something was weird, and she couldn't tell what it was.

Seeing that she was standing still, Xiao Jinyan explained, "It's dark, it's easy to fall."

So that's how it is.

Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan out of the pavilion slowly.

I only remembered I forgot to throw away the garbage after I had walked a long way.

The little monk would probably help her throw it away.

The little monk watched Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei walk away before he retracted his gaze towards the garbage on the table. He took two steps forward, cleaned up the garbage, and then left.

Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan all the way into the chamber. The chamber in the temple was not as warm as the rooms in the East Palace.

Xiao Jinyan let go of Shen Chuwei's hand and looked down at her. He could still smell the scent of instant noodles at the tip of his nose, a very strange smell.

I just ate instant noodles, and my pink lips are a little bit

"If you want to eat, just eat. Why go out?"

How dare Shen Chuwei say that she wanted to go out to hunt game for food, but was caught by the young monk, so she had to settle for instant noodles.

"The instant noodles taste a bit strong. I am sorry for disturbing your highness's interest in reading." She said guiltily.

After hearing this, Xiao Jinyan's anger subsided a lot.

"Rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow to accompany mother to pray for blessings."

Shen Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to say, "I will help Your Highness untie his clothes."

"Yes." Xiao Jinyan spread his arms and waited for Shen Chuwei to serve him.

Shen Chu lowered his eyes slightly and walked forward, taking off the fox fur coat, waist belt and outer coat with ease.

After taking off Xiao Jinyan's clothes, Shen Chuwei turned around and went to wash up.

After eating instant noodles, the smell was a bit strong, so she rinsed her mouth several times.

At this time, in the next room

After Chang Liangdi fell and injured herself, only Doctor Yu and the Empress came to see her, and His Highness never came once.

Today I saw my aunt and Shen Chuwei getting close again. If Shen Chuwei uses some despicable means to win back my aunt's heart, then we're done for.

In the palace, her only support and the only person she can rely on is her aunt. If even her aunt stands on Shen Chuwei's side, she will lose her chance to become the Crown Princess.

The maid stepped forward and reminded: "My lady, it's late at night, you should go to bed early."

How could Chang Liangdi sleep soundly? As long as the Crown Princess is not appointed, there is a possibility of unexpected changes.

The next morning, Chang Liangdi came with injuries to accompany the empress to pray for blessings.

The Queen said earnestly, "Lan'er, if you are injured, just rest in your room. It would be bad if your injury gets worse."

The Empress brought Chang Liangdi here to pray for a child. It would be more sincere for her to come here in person to pray for a child, so as to have a boy in one go.

Chang Liang Di said indifferently: "Aunt, my injury is not a problem. Praying for blessings is the top priority. This little injury is nothing."

If she doesn't work harder, the cooked duck will fly away, and whether she can become the Crown Princess will depend on her aunt.

Her injuries weren't serious to begin with, so they didn't have much of an impact, and she'd also gain a good reputation, so why not?

Xiao Jinyan was not surprised when he heard what Chang Liangdi was thinking. He knew that Chang Liangdi would pretend.

Don’t even think about becoming the Crown Princess.

The Queen looked at how Chang Liangdi put the overall situation first and thought that this was the bearing that a Crown Princess should have. Her vision was indeed correct and Lan'er was the most suitable candidate for the Crown Princess.

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly, "Mother, you have really poor taste."

The time spent worshiping Buddha and praying for blessings is the longest and the most difficult to endure.

At the end of the day, Shen Chuwei felt like her legs weren't her own anymore.

As soon as she returned to the house, Shen Chuwei wanted to find a place to lie down and not move, but in those evil ancient times, there were many rules of hierarchy, and as long as Xiao Jinyan was there, she couldn't lie down wherever she wanted.

Xiao Jinyan sat at the table, raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei, "Come here."

"Okay." Shen Chuwei walked over weakly, "Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"

Xiao Jinyan pointed to the rattan chair in front of him and said, "Sit down."

Shen Chuwei sat down with some doubts, facing Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan then ordered, "Stretch your legs out."

Shen Chuwei followed her instructions one by one. She lifted her right leg and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

"Apply the medicine." Xiao Jinyan answered concisely. He took out the ointment from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the table. He lifted Shen Chuwei's foot with one hand and took off her pearly shoes. He saw the pink socks on her feet, which were tightly wrapped around her feet. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Is this a sock?

The socks in ancient times were big and long. Shen Chuwei didn't like them and thought they were troublesome to wear, so she drew a picture and asked Chunxi to make some socks that were easy to put on and take off.

Xiao Jinyan took off her socks with doubts, and found that these socks were very elastic and easy to take off.

In ancient times, women were strictly prohibited from showing their feet to outsiders.

Shen Chuwei was Xiao Jinyan's woman in name only, so there was nothing wrong with him seeing it.

Shen Chuwei has small feet. Her feet, which have never seen the sun, are whiter and more tender than any other part of her body.
