Chapter 153: So that's what happened? Scare her on purpose

Shen Chuwei's eyes were full of surprise.

Xiao Jinyan's eyes are so sharp that he can actually guess what she is thinking?

She exclaimed, "Is it because I'm eating the melon too obviously?"

Xiao Jinyan: “…” What does eating melons mean?

Although he was very curious, he refrained from asking in order not to expose his ability to read minds.

A prince as cold and arrogant as Xiao Jinyan would not talk to others easily unless he couldn't help it!

"Your Highness, what's going on?" Shen Chuwei felt that it was okay to gossip occasionally.

Xiao Jinyan said: "It's unrequited love."

"Oh." Shen Chuwei suddenly realized, "I understand."

No wonder she acted out of character and acted like a novel when seeing the complicated relationship between Xiao Jinyan and Chang Liangdi. Even a proud and arrogant person shouldn't do that.

It turns out it was unrequited love, which makes more sense.

Xiao Jinyan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as the explanation was finally clear.

"I understand."

Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes to look at her legs and asked, "Are your legs feeling better?"

"I'm much better now, thanks to Your Highness for helping me apply the ointment. The illness was cured so quickly." Shen Chu smiled slightly and flattered.

Xiao Jinyan snorted, "You're poor."

Shen Chu smiled but did not comment.

Before dinner, Shen Chuwei took a walk in the yard to see if there was anything delicious.

When passing by the rockery, she heard someone talking and mentioned her name, so she stopped subconsciously.

"I originally thought Shen Chuwei was just a fool and didn't take her seriously, but I didn't expect she was a scheming woman who could turn things around after being punished. Now my aunt is also praising her, her methods are really amazing."

Chang Liangdi had just heard the Queen praise Shen Chuwei more than once, which made her alarm bells ring and she had to be on guard.

"My lady, His Highness is just momentarily bewitched by Didi Shen's beauty. When His Highness comes to his senses, he will know that you are a thousand times better than Didi Shen." The maid Huaixiang soothed her gently.

Chang Liang Di raised her chin with an arrogant look on her face, "I am the niece of the Queen. Shen Chuwei is just a crude girl from the countryside. She is not worthy to be compared with me."

Huai Xiang nodded in agreement, "My lady is right, Shen Liang Di is not even worthy of carrying your shoes."

"It doesn't matter whether His Highness likes me or not. What matters is that I take the position of Crown Princess. Then I will be the Queen in the future."

Chang Liangdi was indeed fond of Xiao Jinyan at the beginning, and she also tried hard to make Xiao Jinyan like her, but Xiao Jinyan was always cold to her.

My mother is right, a man’s favor is not as important as power, and the Crown Princess is real.

So she deliberately tried to please Xiao Jinyan so that she could be made the Crown Princess as soon as possible.

Shen Chuwei curled her lips when she heard Chang Liangdi talking about her behind her back. She is not from the country, she is modern, okay?

She suddenly thought of a TV show plot, bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it, looked towards the lotus pond, raised her hand and threw it into the water.

All I heard was a "thump" sound.

Chang Liangdi was startled, stood up and glanced around, "Who?"

After throwing the stones, Shen Chuwei clapped his hands, jumped away, and his footsteps made dull sounds on the bluestone slabs.

Chang Liangdi heard the footsteps and hurried over, but Shen Chuwei was nowhere to be seen.

Not seeing anyone, Chang Liangdi felt a little uneasy. If what she had just said were heard by His Highness and her aunt, it would be all over.

She was just so angry that she let her guard down.

Huaixiang saw a handkerchief on the ground. She picked it up and handed it to Chang Liangdi, "My lady, there is a handkerchief here."

Chang Liangdi retracted her gaze and looked at the handkerchief in Huaixiang's hand. She reached out and took it and looked at it carefully. She found that it was embroidered with phoenix feathers. Her face changed drastically.

The Phoenix Feather can only be used by the Empress. Chang Liangdi's face turned pale instantly. Could it be that the person just now was the Empress?

What should I do?

The only person she can rely on in the East Palace is the Queen. If she loses the Queen's support, she can forget about the position of Crown Princess.

Shen Chuwei took out a piece of chocolate from the space, tore open the package, put it to her mouth and took a bite. She thought Chang Liangdi must be scared to death by now.

She couldn't help laughing out loud and walked back to the room with brisk steps.

Xiao Jinyan saw her coming back, with brisk steps and a smile on her face, "What's up? Why are you so happy?"

Shen Chuwei stopped laughing and said, "Your Highness, I saw a yellow oriole with its feathers falling off on the way back just now. It kept chirping and I couldn't help laughing."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes fell on her pink lips. There was a bit of black stuff on the corner of her mouth. "What did you eat secretly again?"

"I didn't eat anything secretly." Shen Chuwei was very righteous. She thought that she only ate a piece of chocolate, that was not called eating secretly, that was eating openly and honestly!

Xiao Jinyan took out a clean handkerchief from his body with his slender fingers, brought it to her lips, and wiped the black substance from the corner of her lips.

Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. His movements were very gentle. She could still smell the cool fragrance on the handkerchief, which smelled very nice.

After wiping it clean, Xiao Jinyan showed her the dirty handkerchief and asked, "You still say no?"

Shen Chu lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the black stuff on the clean white handkerchief. She knew it was chocolate and guessed it was caused by her laughing too loudly just now.

"This is chocolate, not meat. I am eating it openly. There is no need to steal." Her tone was still righteous.

Xiao Jinyan asked: "So, you walked around outside with this face?"

Shen Chu hesitated for a moment, thinking back to when he had walked from the lotus pond to the chamber, he had indeed walked a circle, and nodded, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "You are my concubine, please pay attention to your image."

Shen Chuwei nodded obediently, "I understand."

When the queen finished her tea and touched her handkerchief, she found that it was missing.

She stood up and looked around the room, but couldn't find it.

Qingying came in with tea and snacks and saw the queen looking down for something: "Madam, what are you looking for?"

"My handkerchief is missing. It was there just now." The queen even looked under the table but couldn't find it.

Qingying placed the snacks in her hand on the round table and said gently, "Madam, please sit down and have some snacks first. I will come to you."

"Yeah." The queen walked to the round table and sat down. It had been two hours since lunch and she hadn't eaten much of her meal. She was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back. She picked up the snack, put it to her lips and took a bite to fill her stomach.

Qingying searched for a while but couldn't find it. After telling the Empress, she went out to look for it.

Chang Liangdi originally wanted to have dinner with the empress, but when she thought about the inappropriate things she said in the afternoon, she didn't dare to go.

When I go to bed at night, I can't fall asleep in the first half of the night because I am worried and afraid. In the second half of the night, I fall asleep and wake up from nightmares.

I didn't sleep well all night.

The next day, Chang Liangdi went to breakfast with dark circles under her eyes, and she was still extremely scared.
