Chapter 19: Injustice

"There are still a lot of vegetables and fruits in the small vegetable garden of Xiyun Pavilion. Your Highness can ask Chunxi to come here to pick them every day. Otherwise, it would be a pity to let them go to waste."

Xiao Jinyan: “That’s all?” Is this considered a request?

Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's all." No way, no way, does Your Highness think that the request is too much?

Xiao Jinyan pursed his lips. Why was it different from what he imagined?

"You would rather move to Xiaoxiang Pavilion than sleep with me? And you still say you have me in your heart?"

Shen Chuwei said she felt wronged. "Your Highness, I really only have you in my heart. Do you want me to open my heart and show it to you?"

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly: "I didn't see that."

If she had to sleep with him to dispel his doubts, then forget it. She couldn't escape the identity of the prince's concubine anyway.

Since you can't resist, just lie down and enjoy it!

It was Xiao Jinyan who was the one working hard, so at least her energy wouldn't be wasted.

"Your Highness, this is my first time sleeping with you and I have no experience. Please take care of me."

Xiao Jinyan originally just wanted to test her, but now she is suddenly willing to sleep with him, and he can't guess what's in her mind.

"Boring." Xiao Jinyan spat out these two words coldly, then let her go and turned over to lie on the other side.

Shen Chuwei was delighted, for she knew that His Highness had lost interest because he found her boring.

"Your Highness is wise." He almost gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Jinyan looked at her dimly, "What did you say?"

The smile on Shen Chuwei's lips froze, and he shook his head violently: "I didn't say anything."

At this time, the shrill voice of Eunuch Liu came from outside the door: "Your Highness, someone from Xinlan Palace said that Chang Liangdi had a nightmare and wanted you to go over and take a look."

Just when Shen Chuwei was worrying about how to reject Xiao Jinyan, Eunuch Liu, her savior, came.

"Your Highness, please go see Sister Chang."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei who was impatient. He frowned and suddenly stretched out his arms to pull her into his arms.

"Ah!" Shen Chuwei screamed out in instinct, and fell into Xiao Jinyan's arms the next second. This time they were really close. Under his palms were strong chest muscles. The temperature of his skin was a little high through the thin clothes, and her face immediately blushed with embarrassment.

She raised her head and looked at the culprit in shock, "Your Highness?"

Outside

Dongmei heard what was happening inside and felt a little embarrassed and a little angry.

Eunuch Liu looked normal. He smiled and turned to look at Dongmei: "You heard it too. His Highness is busy and can't get away."

Dongmei had no choice but to give up. "Then please ask Eunuch Liu to remind His Highness tomorrow to go and see my master."

Eunuch Liu smiled kindly: "I will remind Your Highness."

Chunxi rolled his eyes and said, knowing that my young lady was in the emperor's bedchamber, he still came to call her "Your Highness". How shameless.

Dongmei then turned around and went back to Xinlan Palace.

Chang Liang Di saw Dong Mei coming back and looked outside. "Where's His Highness?"

"My lady, His Highness is in Xiyun Pavilion and can't leave." After saying that, he said indignantly, "My lady, His Highness Shen Fengyi is so charming, you don't know that I heard everything clearly outside the door."

Chang Liangdi's eyes darkened, and her slender fingers tightly grasped the quilt. Shen Fengyi had already slept with her twice, but His Highness had never come to Xinlan Palace once. If this continued, the position of the Crown Princess might change.

She raised her head and ordered, "Tomorrow morning, go to the Queen and tell her that I am sick."

Dongmei nodded in agreement.

After a long time, there was no movement outside the door. Xiao Jinyan looked down at Shen Chuwei who was staring at him warily. It was at this time that he discovered that her body was very soft, like cotton candy, with a sweet taste.

After he reacted, he pushed Shen Chuwei away and said coldly, "Lie down."

As soon as Shen Chuwei was free, he immediately moved towards the wall to keep a safe distance from the person who had just gone wild.

Xiao Jinyan saw her alert look and thought it was a little funny. He glanced at her and said, "I'm not interested."

Shen Chuwei felt Xiao Jinyan's eyes on her chest, and she clutched the quilt in front of her tightly: "..." Thank you!

The room was silent, with eyes wide open.

Xiao Jinyan withdrew his gaze, covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

He realized later that in Shen Chuwei's eyes he was not as good as a small vegetable garden?

Shen Chuwei didn't dare to sleep after being hugged like that just now. She held the cat pillow and stared at Xiao Jinyan with her watery and clear eyes without blinking.

If you think she's boring, then why do you insist on staying overnight?

Aren't you just asking for trouble?

In the end, Shen Chuwei didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, there was no one by her side.

The cat pillow in my arms is gone too.

She looked up and saw the cat pillow on the bedside table.

Chunxi saw that her master had woken up, and trotted in. While helping Shen Chuwei get dressed, she complained, "My lady, when you were sleeping with me last night, Dongmei deliberately came to call His Highness, but unfortunately His Highness loved her and was indifferent to Chang Liangdi."

Chunxi couldn't help but smile triumphantly at the end.

Shen Chuwei was too lazy to explain. After all, in the eyes of everyone, she and Xiao Jinyan had done things that were inappropriate for children, and more than once.

She eats what she should eat and drinks what she should drink...

Shen Mingzhu went to pay her respects to the Queen early in the morning. She had no choice. If she did not go according to His Highness's order, it would mean that she did not take His Highness seriously, and it would be difficult for her to gain His Highness' favor in the future.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

The Queen received news yesterday that Shen Liangdi was an excellent cook, so she was not surprised to see Shen Liangdi coming suddenly.

"Get up. I heard yesterday that Shen Liangdi would cook for me personally. I didn't eat much for breakfast, so I'm waiting for you to cook."

"It is my honor that the Empress does not mind. However, I accidentally hurt my hand this morning, and I am afraid it will affect the taste..." Shen Mingzhu wanted to find an excuse to refuse to cook, otherwise the filling would be exposed.

But before she could finish her words, the Queen said, "Doctor Wang Yu just checked my pulse, so I'm here to check it for you. If you're injured, you need to get treatment right away."

"Thank you for your kindness, Her Majesty. I am only slightly injured and not seriously injured." Shen Mingzhu hid her hands in her wide sleeves, and Doctor Yu would know what was going on at a glance.

"In that case, then go to the kitchen and make some delicious meals. I'm looking forward to it." The Queen was hungry, but she couldn't eat. She couldn't wait to taste Shen Liangdi's cooking skills.

"Yes." Shen Liangdi followed Rong Mama to the small kitchen.

The small kitchen in Fengyi Palace has all the ingredients you need.

How does Shen Mingzhu know how to cook?

But there were so many people watching in the kitchen that she didn't know where to start cooking the chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Seeing that she was standing still, Rong Mama smiled and reminded her, "Miss Shen, just ask them for whatever ingredients you want. Don't be restrained."

"Thank you, Madam Rong, for your reminder."

"You're welcome, Miss Shen."

Shen Mingzhu picked a piece of meat. Her hands were shaking as she had never touched a kitchen knife before, and she was afraid of cutting her hand.

The one who knew how to cook knew at a glance that Shen Mingzhu was someone who had never been to the kitchen, and couldn't help but whisper to her.

"Shouldn't you wash your hands and vegetables before cooking? This is common sense."

"The meat is cut into large and small pieces, and I don't know whether it is for stir-frying or stewing?"

"I don't even know the right way to cut vegetables, and I'm not afraid of cutting my hands."

Amidst the discussion, Shen Mingzhu let out a scream that echoed throughout the kitchen.

"Ah! My hand is bleeding."
