Chapter 17 His Highness Comes to Eat

Xiyun Pavilion

Shen Chuwei took a red hairband and tied a beautiful bow around Xuetuan's neck.

She looked around and was very satisfied with her work.

"Hey, this makes it even cuter."

Xuetuan's deep blue eyes were wide open, staring at Shen Chuwei in confusion.

Chunxi stared at the oversized butterfly on Xuetuan's neck for a while and suggested, "My lady, you can take the opportunity of sending Xuetuan back to meet His Highness. Strike while the iron is hot and get pregnant as soon as possible."

Shen Chuwei shook her head vigorously: "I am still a baby myself."

Chunxi continued to persuade her: "My lady, some women your age are already mothers. A mother's status is based on her son's. Even if you can't become an empress, being a concubine is not bad."

Shen Chuwei asked back: "Why isn't it that the son's status is determined by his mother's status?"

Well!

Chunxi continued to coax her: "My lady, look, today we have both lunch and cakes. With His Highness's favor, you can have meat every day."

Shen Chuwei took a sip of hot tea and said, "I'm a little tired of eating meat today. It's not bad to eat vegetarian food for two days."

Chunxi: "You won't want to eat meat in two days?"

"Let's talk about it when you want to eat." Shen Chuwei said in a light voice.

Chunxi rehearsed all kinds of palace fighting scenes overnight just to be of use.

The result is that he has to deal with such a master, palace fighting?

How can she fight alone?

Shen Mingzhu arrived just as Eunuch Liu finished serving the meal, arriving at the perfect time.

Shen Mingzhu stepped forward with a gentle smile and bowed: "I pay my respects to Your Highness."

When Xiao Jinyan saw Shen Liangdi's thin clothes, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes. He said in a cold and distant voice: "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Mingzhu took a few steps forward, took the food box from Caixia, and placed the dishes inside in front of Xiao Jinyan one by one.

She looked at Xiao Jinyan with shyness and timidity in her bright eyes, and said modestly through her rouge-painted red lips: "Your Highness, this is what I cooked myself. Please try it. If it's not good, I will improve it next time."

But she thought confidently in her heart that her chef was a famous chef in the capital with excellent cooking skills, and His Highness would definitely like her.

Xiao Jinyan heard her thoughts and praised calmly, "Shen Liangdi is a good cook."

Shen Mingzhu was delighted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment."

Xiao Jinyan continued, "My mother has had a poor appetite these past two days and doesn't like the food in the kitchen. Go over and make some delicious food for her to taste."

If you like to take possession of all the skills so much, then go and show your abilities to your mother!

Shen Liangdi was stunned. She only said that she would cook herself to please His Highness. How could she know how to cook?

If I go to the Queen to show off my skills, won't I be exposed?

"Your Highness, my cooking skills are not worthy of being honored by the upper class. My mother is a daughter of a thousand gold. I..."

Xiao Jinyan interrupted coldly: "Shen Liang Di, there is no need to be modest. I think these meals are very well cooked. Mother will like them."

"...I obey your orders." Shen Mingzhu had no choice but to agree. But she couldn't help complaining in her heart, Your Highness really has no sympathy for women, I have never done anything, but you asked me to cook for that picky queen?

Are the hands that I spend so much money to maintain for cooking?

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Shen Liangdi's hands, which she had spent a lot of money to maintain, without a trace of pity in his eyes, "If you have nothing else, please leave."

Shen Mingzhu wants to sleep with me tonight, how could she return empty-handed?

She deliberately lowered her body to show her voluptuous figure to the prince, and said softly, "Your Highness, may I accompany you for dinner?"

Xiao Jinyan lost all his appetite. He put down his chopsticks and ordered in a cold voice: "Eunuch Liu, take all these away."

"Here." Eunuch Liu looked at the untouched food on the table and waved his hand to ask the palace maid to clear the food away.

Shen Mingzhu watched the meals being cleared away by the palace maids one by one, and asked worriedly, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Jinyan: “…” You know I see you’re uncomfortable, but you still don’t get out?

Shen Mingzhu has always been extremely confident and feels that she is very attractive at this moment.

"Your Highness, are you tired? Can I give you a massage to relieve your fatigue?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to Xiao Jinyan.

The smell of rouge and powder filled her face. Xiao Jinyan suppressed his disgust and said, "I have something else to do. Shen Liangdi can go back by herself."

After saying this, he strode out of the bedroom.

Shen Mingzhu originally wanted to take advantage of her unstable center of gravity to fall into the prince's arms so that she could seduce His Highness.

As a result, Xiao Jinyan suddenly stood up, causing her to come into close contact with the chair, which hurt so much that she burst into tears.

Xiao Jinyan left the bedroom and looked at the huge East Palace. There was no place he wanted to go.

Eunuch Liu followed closely, "Your Highness, where do you want to go?"

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Where is Xuetuan?"

Eunuch Liu: "Your Highness, it seems that Xuetuan has slipped away again."

Xiao Jinyan knew that Xuetuan would only go to one place if he slipped away, and that was Xiyun Pavilion.

He had always been puzzled as to why Xuetuan was so close to Shen Chuwei, almost closer than him, the master.

When Xiao Jinyan arrived at Xiyun Pavilion, he saw curling green smoke. There were two figures in the small kitchen. One of them was petite, wearing a lotus pink dress, and was skillfully stir-frying with a spatula in her hand.

The remote and desolate Xiyun Pavilion is now filled with the scent of fireworks.

Eunuch Liu was about to report it, but was stopped by Xiao Jinyan, "No need."

After saying that, he walked over.

Shen Chuwei served the braised eggplants, and Chunxi couldn't help but praise: "My lady, it smells so good."

Chunxi is a good cook, but many of the vegetables grown in the backyard are unfamiliar to her, so Shen Chuwei cooks for her personally and teaches Chunxi at the same time.

"It's time for dinner!" Shen Chuwei turned around and was a little surprised when she saw the person standing behind her. "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei. She was wearing a skirt of the same color, with wide sleeves rolled up high, revealing her slender and white arms.

Look at that delicate little face again, it is smiling, not ostentatious but lively and cute.

"This is the East Palace. Is there any place I cannot go?"

How could Shen Chuwei dare to say no?

"Of course I can come. Your Highness, would you like to have dinner with me?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Yeah."

Shen Chu was stunned. She was just being polite. Don't take it seriously.

Three dishes and one soup were served.

Shen Chuwei stood aside waiting. Who told him that he was the Crown Prince?

Xiao Jinyan sat at the dining table, looking at the dishes in front of him. He only recognized the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and he didn't recognize any of the rest.

Seeing Shen Chuwei still standing, he said calmly: "You sit down too."

Just waiting for this sentence.

Shen Chuwei sat down opposite him, waiting for a certain prince to start eating first.

Hsiao Kam-yan took his eating and sleeping habits to the extreme, and his behavior was elegant and dignified.

As soon as Shen Chuwei picked up her chopsticks and put them into the dish, she heard Xiao Jinyan ask, "What's this dish?"

"This is braised eggplant." This was the first batch of eggplants, and Your Highness was able to catch it. This was extremely good luck.

Xiao Jinyan just saw Shen Chuwei stir-frying this dish, and he praised it: "It tastes good."
