Chapter 159 A bold move, angry again

Shen Chuwei lamented that ancient dresses were troublesome, they were long and big, and she was going to fall flat on her face this time.

The expected pain did not come, instead I fell into a warm embrace.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw a handsome face, looking at her gloomily.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Xiao Jinyan was so fast, he was five meters away just now, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of her and caught her.

Shen Chuwei smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness, you are here."

Xiao Jinyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief after catching her. Seeing that she was still smiling, his voice deepened: "You're fine, why are you climbing a wall?"

"Your Highness, I am just curious and want to take a look."

"What's so good about it?"

Shen Chu blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan with admiration, "Your Highness, you are so amazing. You were able to catch me with your bare hands and save me from the fate of being a dog chewing mud."

Shen Chuwei flattered her to divert attention.

Xiao Jinyan was very pleased with these words, especially the admiring look in Shen Chuwei's clear eyes.

He pretended to be serious and said, "Talk properly, don't talk about dogs or cats."

"Your Highness is right. It is I who am vulgar."

Seeing that Shen Chuwei had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, Xiao Jinyan did not say anything else. He held her in his arms and strode into the house.

Guixiang and the others walked away, covering their faces in surprise, "Your Highness is so kind."

Chunxi saw this and raised her chin and said, "Our young master is loved by everyone and flowers bloom when they see him. Of course, His Highness loves him and dotes on him."

The two of them came under the eaves while talking.

Guixiang looked at Chunxi expectantly: "Chunxi, you said that the Guanyin of the White Horse Temple is so powerful, so will the young lady have a baby soon?"

Chunxi also looked expectant, "Of course, the Guanyin of the White Horse Temple is the most effective."

The two thought that the people in the room could not hear what they were saying, but in fact, not only did they hear it, but they heard it very clearly.

The two looked at each other and were both stunned.

Shen Chuwei quickly retracted her gaze, and so did Chunxi and Guixiang. They kept chatting about these gossips and didn't even stop. It was so embarrassing to be heard by the person involved!

She and Xiao Jinyan were just sleeping at night. No matter how powerful the Goddess of Childbearing in the White Horse Temple was, could she stuff a baby into her belly out of thin air?

Xiao Jinyan has no children, so he doesn't have time to think about these things now. He doesn't know how many eyes are staring at him, so he dare not relax at all.

"I'm going to be out for a while. Don't neglect your studies these days. I'll check on you when I come back."

Shen Chuwei drooped his shoulders. Even if he left school and traveled to ancient times, he couldn't escape the fate of doing homework. What a bad luck!

She raised her head and said boldly, "Your Highness, I don't want to learn music, chess, calligraphy or painting."

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Are you afraid you won't be able to learn it?"

She would not be so stupid as to say that she couldn't do it, giving Xiao Jinyan the opportunity to motivate herself by imitating the tone of her former class teacher.

"Your Highness, the ancients said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. I want to be a virtuous woman."

Xiao Jinyan paused, "What a twisted theory."

Shen Chu curled her lips slightly, "I am only telling the truth."

Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei's childish face for a while, and recalled what Lu Zhaoyan said two days ago.

"What if I want you to be a woman of both virtue and talent?"

Shen Chuwei thought about it and decided to tell the truth, "Your Highness, there are so many women in the East Palace, can't you just pick one who is both virtuous and talented? Why do you have to embarrass me?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't expect Shen Chuwei to say this to him and let him pick one from the East Palace?

Do you think I'm buying food? And you're picking one!

But she is smart in learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so why is it difficult for her?

Xiao Jinyan was furious for a moment, "You are disobeying me."

Shen Chuwei lowered her eyes and admitted her mistake, "Your Highness, I didn't mean it."

If it wasn't intentional, could it be deliberate?

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly, "Are you sure you want me to find someone else?"

Shen Chu nodded slightly, "I am stupid and will only waste your time."

Xiao Jinyan stared at her for a while, flicked his sleeves, and left Xiyun Pavilion without looking back.

Seeing the people leaving, Shen Chuwei opened her mouth and said, "I wish your Highness a safe journey..."

The slender figure had disappeared at the door.

Shen Chuwei sighed helplessly, "Xiao Jinyan seems to be angry..."

Chunxi came in with tea, only to find that His Highness was no longer in the room. She looked at Shen Chuwei in confusion, "My Lady, why did His Highness leave? Isn't he staying for dinner?"

"I'm not staying." Shen Chuwei sat on the couch with his knees bent, sighed, saw the chestnut cake on the plate, picked up a piece, sighed again, and then took a bite of the chestnut cake.

Chunxi put down the tea in his hand, listened to the young lady sighing continuously, and realized that something was wrong.

She looked over worriedly, "What's wrong, young lady? Did His Highness hurt you again?"

Shen Chu shook his head slightly, "He didn't hurt me."

Chunxi looked puzzled, "Why does the young lady always sigh? Is she greedy?"

Shen Chuwei sighed, "Let's eat braised pork elbow tonight!"

Chunxi felt a little distressed when she heard Shen Chuwei's sigh, and nodded readily, "Okay, I'll do it now."

At dinner, Shen Chuwei took a bite of the braised pork elbow and sighed again.

Chunxi heard Shen Chuwei sigh again and couldn't help but start to worry: "My lady, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Chuwei said meaningfully: "The braised pork elbow is still delicious."

Chunxi: "..." My dear, you are sighing that the pork elbow is delicious~

Liu Xi pushed open the door and walked in, seeing Xiao Jinyan sitting in front of the desk. Having served the prince for several years, he could tell from the prince's expression that he was in a bad mood and even showed signs of being angry.

Liu Xi asked cautiously: "Your Highness, Xiyun Pavilion has made braised pork elbows tonight, would you like to..."

Xiao Jinyan said in a deep voice: "When did I ever like to eat pork elbow with sauce? If I don't go to Xiyun Pavilion, I won't be able to have dinner?

Liu Xi was startled and lowered his head even lower, "That's not what I meant."

Xiao Jinyan's face was gloomy.

Liu Xi didn't know why Xiao Jinyan was so angry. Nothing happened today.

He asked again, "Your Highness, would you like to serve the meal?"

Xiao Jinyan said coldly, "Serve the food."

Liu Xi stepped out and told the maid to bring the meal. Liu Xi thought that the prince would go back to Xiyun Pavilion tonight, so the small kitchen did not cook, and the dishes on the table were all from the Yu kitchen.

Xiao Jinyan came out of the study, sat at the dining table, and looked at the dishes in front of him without any appetite.

He picked up the chopsticks and planned to take a few bites.

Seeing the fish on the table, he suddenly asked, "Where's Xuetuan?"

"I'll go look for it." Liu Xi went out to look for a while but didn't see Xuetuan, so he ran back.

"Your Highness, you didn't see Xuetuan, who knows where he went." Liu Xi didn't dare to mention Xiyun Pavilion, because His Highness seemed very angry when he mentioned Xiyun Pavilion just now.
