Chapter 226 You have a big appetite. I am afraid that His Highness will do something stupid~
Chang Liangdi is not a domineering person. She has been silent for too long and finally waited for the exact day to appoint the Crown Princess, so she can't wait to let everyone know.
Among them is the most favored Shen Chuwei. What does it matter even if His Highness favors you?
The Crown Princess is mine, and the child I give birth to will be the eldest son.
Shen Chuwei nodded to indicate that he understood.
Concubine Xu also nodded to show that she understood.
But she couldn't help but remind him, "It's only a few days until the 15th. Chang Liangdi must work hard to lose weight, otherwise it will be difficult to wear your wedding dress, especially red, which makes you look fat. It will be very bad to see so many people looking at you."
She said that on purpose. You deserve to be mad at her.
Shen Chuwei couldn't help laughing again after hearing this. Red does make people look fat.
The smile on Chang Liangdi's face froze. She had become ill because of following the trend and gaining weight. As a result, when she wanted to lose weight, it was very difficult. It took her more than a month to lose a little weight.
I haven't eaten well or slept well these days, all because I gained ten pounds.
It was because of the enthronement of the Crown Princess that she was brought back to life, but Concubine Xu revealed the truth in public, and anyone would be angry.
"Concubine Xu, I'm not saying anything bad, but you are also a concubine now, so you should be careful with your words, lest you make a mistake."
Concubine Xu raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth and laughed twice: "I have been like this since I was a child. I am very good at talking. Don't be surprised, Concubine Chang Liang."
Chang Liangdi suppressed her unhappiness. There would be plenty of opportunities to settle the score in the future, so she would let you jump a few times first.
"Why should I be surprised? Your father didn't teach you well. Someone will teach you in the future."
After Chang Liangdi finished speaking, she looked at Shen Chuwei again, took two steps forward, and smiled slightly: "We are both sisters serving His Highness. Even though I am the Crown Princess, we should get closer so that we can serve His Highness better together, right?"
Shen Chuwei blinked twice, "Chang Liang Di, let's serve His Highness together. The taste is too strong. I can't do it."
Chang Liangdi was stunned for a moment.
Concubine Xu covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "It depends on whether His Highness is willing to serve together, Chang Liang Di, don't you think so?"
Chang Liang Di felt that Shen Chuwei and Concubine Xu were humiliating her. She clutched her handkerchief tightly and glanced at Concubine Xu with her chin raised: "Concubine Xu, you are the laughing stock. I'm afraid His Highness has never been to your Yixiang Palace, right?"
Concubine Xu was so angry when she heard that. If she didn't come, then she didn't come. It's as if you were the one who slept with her.
"Shen Liang Di, Concubine Xu, remember to come and watch the ceremony of enthroning the Crown Princess."
After Chang Liangdi finished speaking, she walked out of the Hehuan Palace with her chin held high.
Concubine Xu stamped her feet in anger and threw her handkerchief, "What the hell! It's not even the day of the Crown Princess' appointment yet, and you're already putting on airs."
Shen Chuwei sat back in the rattan chair and took a few sips of the hot tea.
Chunxi brought the prepared ice cream at this time. When Concubine Xu came, her offensive voice was heard by her in the small kitchen, so she prepared a portion for Concubine Xu to help her cool down.
"My lord, the ice cream is ready."
Chunxi placed one bowl in front of Shen Chuwei and handed the other bowl to Concubine Xu, "Concubine Xu, please have some ice cream."
Concubine Xu had also eaten ice cream twice. When she saw the ice cream, she put aside all the unpleasant things just now, took the small bowl from Chunxi's hand, picked up the small spoon inside and scooped a spoonful of ice cream.
Shen Chuwei took a bite of the ice cream, which was cool and sweet. It is said that eating sweet food will make you feel good, and this is absolutely true.
Not only that, after eating the ice cream, Concubine Xu's temper also subsided a lot.
Xiao Jinyan finished his official duties today and saw Lu Zhaoyan. He directly pulled him over and asked, "What do you call human affairs?"
Lu Zhaoyan said he felt wronged and aggrieved, "No, Your Highness, I have already declined twice. If I decline again, it will arouse suspicion."
Xiao Jinyan was truly helpless this time. It felt like when he had just become the crown prince. He had no say in anything and did not even have the right to choose who would be his concubine.
To put it bluntly, it's a nest of lumps!
"Is there anything that can't wait until I come back?"
Lu Zhaoyan said: "It has been a month since Your Highness left, can't I wait any longer?
Xiao Jinyan frowned and took Lu Zhaoyan to the East Palace.
"Liu Xi, prepare some wine and food."
Liu Xi worked very quickly. In a short while, a few side dishes and two pots of wine were ready.
Lu Zhaoyan sat down at the dining table carefully because he knew that Xiao Jinyan was in a bad mood at the moment.
Xiao Jinyan was indeed in a bad mood and had no place to vent his emotions, so he could only drink.
Xiao Jinyan drank three glasses of wine in a row and suddenly asked: "Do you think there is still room for maneuver in this matter?"
Lu Zhaoyan asked cautiously, "Your Highness, are you preventing the enthronement of the Crown Princess?"
Xiao Jinyan did not answer but asked: "What do you think?"
"I feel that the position of Crown Prince is not easy to come by. Do not try to stop it by force. It will only backfire."
Lu Zhaoyan originally wanted to remind Xiao Jinyan not to be anxious, as everything is destined to happen.
Xiao Jinyan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then suddenly stood up and walked away.
Lu Zhaoyan sat there in a daze for a while, and he hurriedly chased after him, "Your Highness, don't do anything stupid!"
As a result, he tripped over the threshold and fell out.
"ah!!"
Wei Chi happened to pass by and saw someone flying towards him. He took a closer look and found that it was Lord Lu. He was quick to catch the person.
Lu Zhaoyan thought he would knock out a few teeth this time, but the expected pain did not come. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wei Chi, which was like seeing a savior.
"Thank you, Brother Wei."
Wei Chi put him down and said, "Why is Lord Lu walking like a child?"
As soon as Liu Xi walked in from outside, he saw Lu Zhaoyan almost fall to the ground. He covered his eyes and dared not look because it was too painful.
Only when everything was clear did he ask, "Master Lu, why are you in such a hurry?"
Lu Zhaoyan patted his chest and said, "I'm afraid Your Highness will do something stupid."
Liu Xi pointed to the next door and said, "Your Highness is going to the Hehuan Palace."
Lu Zhaoyan looked towards the next room before reacting, "...I was overthinking it."

After Shen Chuwei finished her dinner, she took out her drawing board and continued working on her unfinished painting.
She has a leisurely nature and can never finish a painting in one sitting. It takes her many days to complete a painting.
My sketching teacher once said that if you make a living by drawing, you will probably starve to death.
Shen Chuwei did not comment, fortunately she did not rely on painting to make a living.
After three times of drawing, the character's facial features have been completely drawn, and the next step is to draw the hair.
The characters in her photo sketches are very close to real people, even the eyes and eyelashes are lifelike.
Each strand of hair is distinct and flowing, just like the real thing.
When Xiao Jinyan arrived, he saw Shen Chuwei sitting at the desk with a drawing board in her hand. He could tell at a glance that she was drawing again.
He walked over slowly and stood behind Shen Chuwei, his eyes falling on the drawing board. He thought he would never see the painting again, but he didn't expect to see it again today.
