Chapter 214 I want it too!
As expected, I can’t communicate with Shen Chuwei using normal thinking!
Otherwise, she would be so angry that she would think she was happy.
Shen Chu said humbly, "The banquet is not an important occasion. Although I am a concubine, I can go. Your Highness has brought me to attend banquets before."
At the end of the speech, his voice also became weaker because he lacked confidence.
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyebrows, "How do you know that the banquet is not an important occasion?"
Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. What he said was true. Sometimes banquets were also very important occasions. She thought for a moment and said, "That is not an important occasion. Your Highness can take me with you. I am not greedy."
Xiao Jinyan paused in his tea drinking, probably because he didn't expect Shen Chuwei to say that.
He said angrily, "Then why did you let me take others with me?"
"I'm talking about an important occasion." Shen Chuwei paused here and said helplessly, "Even if I want to go, the Emperor and Empress will definitely not allow me to go."
Although there is no Crown Princess now, there will definitely be one in the future. She has no power and it will definitely not be me.
For a salted fish like her, it is most reliable to just eat and drink for free.
Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei for a while, only to see that she had her eyes lowered and looked sad.
"Is this why you asked me to bring someone else to an important event?"
Shen Chuwei nodded. She was also very sad that she couldn't attend the banquet.
But there was nothing we could do about it. After all, it was ancient times, with feudal ideas and many rules.
"Although I don't know much, I still know that the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed."
After hearing this, Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt relieved, relieved that she was considering him.
The emperor's order is indeed not to be disobeyed, but he is also trying his best!
After working hard for so many years, he finally climbed to the position of crown prince.
He believed that it would not be long before he could take charge of his own life, which would no longer be controlled by his father and mother.
This is the goal he has been working towards since he came back as Proton.
When he looked at Shen Chuwei again, his eyes softened a little, "That being said, it's up to us to decide."
Shen Chuwei suddenly frowned, "Then Your Highness will still take me to the banquet, right?"
Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei, who was sad one second and frowned the next. The change was faster than turning the pages of a book.
"Well, if you work harder, I can take you with me."
Shen Chuwei nodded obediently, "I will eat more. It won't be a wasted trip. Don't worry, Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan: “…”
It was getting dark, and even though the lights were turned on in the carriage, the light was still a little dim.
Because we were traveling on the official road and the carriage was spacious, the ride was not that bumpy.
Shen Chuwei yawned and felt a little sleepy due to the bumpy ride.
Xiao Jinyan heard it, raised his head and looked over, and saw Shen Chuwei leaning on the coffee table with his elbows and his chin supported by his hands, as if he would fall asleep in the next second.
He said calmly: "Xiao Jiu."
Shen Chuwei raised his head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything wrong, Your Highness?"
Xiao Jinyan: "Come here."
"Oh." Shen Chuwei moved to Xiao Jinyan's side with doubt.
Xiao Jinyan patted his thigh and said, "I'm sleepy, so I'll lie down and take a nap."
Shen Chuwei asked: "What about His Highness?"
Xiao Jinyan: "I am not sleepy yet."
Shen Chu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Jinyan's legs. He was wearing casual clothes today, not as gorgeous as he was in the palace. The moon-white robe made him look cool and noble.
She lay down with a blanket propped up on her back, resting her head on Xiao Jinyan's legs. It was the first time she slept with her head on a man's legs, and she felt very uncomfortable.
The carriage was spacious and cushioned, making it very comfortable.
Shen Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and saw Xiao Jinyan's jawline, which was sharp and yet somewhat gentle.
Meeting those sparkling eyes, even in the dim carriage, it was impossible to ignore them.
She closed her eyes guiltily.
Xiao Jinyan looked at her with his eyes downcast, without saying a word. He used his slender fingers to lift her hair and tuck it behind her ears.
At first, Shen Chuwei felt that the hand felt a little strange and thought it would be difficult to fall asleep with her head resting on a man's thigh.
The result was just the opposite. I fell asleep soon after closing my eyes.
Although the carriage was a bit bumpy, it did not disturb her sleep at all.
When I woke up, it was already daybreak. The candles in the carriage had burned out, and faint morning light was filtering through the window curtains.
Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan, who was sleeping soundly with his back leaning against a soft pillow.
She rubbed her waist gently, and the carriage finally returned, and it was too comfortable to sleep on the bed.
After traveling for such a long time, the carriage stopped in front of a restaurant.
Because the prisoners were being escorted, there were many people watching.
Xiao Jinyan asked the guards to surround the prisoners to prevent anyone from taking advantage of them.
Shen Chuwei had eaten some pastries last night, and when she saw the porridge and snacks, her appetite immediately grew.
Xiao Jinyan reminded: "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
"I understand." Shen Chuwei said in a low voice because there were guests all around.
Xiao Jinyu came over and asked quietly: "Sister-in-law, did you sleep well last night?"
When mentioning last night, Shen Chu glanced at Xiao Jinyan subconsciously. He slept with his head resting on Xiao Jinyan's thighs last night, which was much more comfortable than sleeping sitting down.
She smiled and said, "I'm fine, how about you?"
Xiao Jinyu rubbed his neck, feeling very aggrieved, "It's not good at all, my neck is so sore."
Han Yan kept his eyes on Xiao Jinyu. Seeing how close he was to Shen Chuwei, he frowned slightly and said, "Prince Yu, I'll give you a massage later."
Xiao Jinyu quickly refused, "No, just take a rest for a while."
Who knows how you rub it? What if you are teasing me on purpose?
Han Yan smiled faintly but did not answer.
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Han Yan, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He always felt that his brother was very afraid of this Miss Han.
After breakfast, Xiao Jinyan called his brother aside to ask him questions.
"What's going on between you and Miss Han?"
"It's okay, brother, we're fine..." Xiao Jinyu realized something was wrong and changed his words: "No, Miss Han is fine and took good care of me along the way."
Xiao Jinyan frowned, always feeling that his brother was lying and trying to cover up the truth.
"You still won't tell the truth in front of me?"
"Brother, what I said is the truth. Miss Han is a nice person. Don't be fooled by her tall stature; she is actually very gentle." At the end, Xiao Jinyu deliberately emphasized his tone, fearing that his brother would not believe him.
Xiao Jinyan stared at Xiao Jinyu with his sharp eyes for a long time, and finally sighed, "You are almost 17 years old, you should know what is important and what is not, do you understand?"
Xiao Jinyu nodded vigorously, "Brother, I know, don't worry."
Here, Shen Chuwei found Chunxi acting a little strange. As soon as Qin Xiao came over, Chunxi pulled her aside to hide.
She couldn't help but ask, "Chunxi, why are you so afraid of Brother Qin?"
Chunxi couldn't bring herself to talk about Qin Xiao pinching her arm, so she could only lie, "My lady, it's okay. I just find the smell of his sweat unpleasant."
By chance, Qin Xiao heard it and said, "My sweat smell is not that bad."
