Chapter 234: Surprise? Does the light bulb know?

"Chunxi, it's ready. Send some to Prince Yu."

Shen Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "Send some to Consort Xu and Tao Chenghui, and some to Xiyun Pavilion, so that they can have a taste of it. Send some to Eunuch Liu as well."

Chunxi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei, and found that the young lady was very generous today. Even though the roasted whole lamb was very big, there was not much left after giving some here and some there.

Since the young lady was happy, she, as a servant, could not say much.

Shen Chuwei stared at the roasted whole lamb in Chunxi's hands until both sides were golden brown. She couldn't bear to take her eyes off it. She licked her lips and urged, "Chunxi, it's cooked. You can eat it now."

"My lady, the roasted whole lamb won't run away. Please wait a little longer and let it cool down for a while." Chunxi said, and when she raised her head, she saw His Highness standing not far away. She blurted out in surprise, "Your Highness."

Shen Chuwei's eyes stayed on the roasted whole lamb, and she said without raising her head: "Today is an important day for the crown princess's appointment. Your Highness doesn't have time to come."

Xiao Jinyan stood less than two meters away from Shen Chuwei, looking at Shen Chuwei lying on the rattan chair. Even though he couldn't see her front, he could guess that her eyes must be on the roasted whole lamb.

Chunxi saw Shen Chuwei sitting still, and hurriedly winked at her, "My lady, His Highness is really here..."

Shen Chuwei saw Chunxi standing still, and raised her head in confusion, and saw Chunxi's eyes twitching, "Chunxi, is your eye cramping?"

Chunxi: "..." Oh my god! My dear, my eyes seem to be cramping somewhere.

Shen Chuwei noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange. Chunxi and Little Rabbit both stood up and bowed behind her.

She asked Chunxi in a very low voice, "Is His Highness really here?"

Chunxi wanted to roll his eyes. Why don’t you just look back and see for yourself?

Xiao Jinyan coughed lightly: "Xiaojiu."

When Shen Chuwei heard the voice, she turned around and looked behind her, and saw Xiao Jinyan wearing a black court robe standing less than two meters behind her. She was stunned for a moment.

"Your Highness, isn't today the day to enthrone the Crown Princess?" So, why is she appearing in the Hehuan Palace?

Xiao Jinyan's answer was concise and to the point, "Cancelled."

"Canceled?" Shen Chuwei didn't react for a long time. She heard last night that the Ministry of Rites was making intensive preparations, but it was cancelled now?

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the roasted whole lamb, then looked at Shen Chuwei again, "I haven't had breakfast yet."

I was busy until the fourth watch last night, and got up at the fifth watch. I didn't even have time to have breakfast, so I went to the Golden Palace to expose Chang Liangdi.

At this moment, I am indeed hungry.

Shen Chuwei got down from the rattan chair swiftly, took two steps forward, and tugged at Xiao Jinyan's sleeve, saying, "Your Highness, the roasted whole lamb is ready. It's a good opportunity for us to eat it together."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the hand that had always been pulling at his sleeve. He reached out and held it in his palm, "Okay."

Shen Chuwei lowered his head and glanced at his hand that was being held. His palm was very hot.

The two of them sat down at the table one after another. Sauces and lettuce had already been prepared on the round table.

Chunxi had already taken a knife and started cutting the roasted whole lamb. He distributed some to them according to Shen Chuwei's instructions and sent it over.

Then slice it.

Shen Chuwei picked up the disposable gloves she had prepared in advance and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, please stretch out your hands and I will put on the gloves for you."

Xiao Jinyan stretched out his upper hand as instructed and watched Shen Chuwei put on a disposable transparent glove on his hand. He then rolled up his sleeves very high, revealing a large section of his white wrist.

After putting the gloves on both hands, Shen Chuwei rolled up his sleeves, picked up the gloves and put them on himself with ease.

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei's actions calmly, and it could be seen from her proficiency that she had worn disposable transparent gloves many times before.

Shen Chuwei was a little greedy and picked up a piece of roasted lamb. She stuffed it directly into her mouth without wrapping it with lettuce and started eating.

Seeing Xiao Jinyan looking at her without eating, she puffed her cheeks and said, "Your Highness, eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Xiao Jinyan looked at her greedy appearance and nodded, "Yeah."

"Shen Liang Di, Shen Liang Di, I have good news for you. Not only was Chang Liang Di not made the Crown Princess, she was demoted to..." Liang Yuan...

Concubine Xu was waving her handkerchief, and her voice was heard before she arrived.

When she came in and saw Xiao Jinyan was there, the other two choked back their anger.

After hearing the news, Concubine Xu rushed over immediately, thinking that she came fast enough, but she didn't expect that Xiao Jinyan came even faster than her.

Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei turned around almost at the same time, and saw Xu Cefei walking in quickly with a handkerchief swinging around, and then suddenly slamming on the brakes. Without asking, they knew it was because Xiao Jinyan was there.

In front of Xiao Jinyan, Concubine Xu was so happy that she died on the spot.

She waved her handkerchief awkwardly and walked forward and bowed, "May your highness be blessed with good health."

Xiao Jinyan said calmly: "Get up."

Shen Chuwei still had roasted lamb in her mouth and spoke unclearly, "Since Concubine Xu is here, let's eat roasted whole lamb together, so we don't have to ask others to send it to us."

Concubine Xu glanced at Xiao Jinyan and saw that he didn't say anything, so she responded, "...Okay."

She came to the round table and sat down, put away the handkerchief, and consciously picked up the disposable transparent gloves and put them on her hands.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Concubine Xu and saw that she was very experienced in this. It didn't seem like it was her first time and she must have come to visit often.

Xu had come to visit many times and had eaten there many times, so he was already very familiar with wearing gloves.

Concubine Xu put on her gloves, looked at the roasted lamb, then looked at Xiao Jinyan, feeling somewhat resentful in her heart, "Your Highness could have come at any other time, but had to come during mealtime, which makes it difficult for me to perform my duties."

Xiao Jinyan had just rolled up a piece of mutton when he heard Concubine Xu's complaints. Since the first day Concubine Xu entered the Eastern Palace, she had been complaining about this or that, and she was particularly good at speaking ill of others.

In fact, Xiao Jinyan is also used to criticizing people, and sometimes he tells the truth.

But this time, he found that Concubine Xu still complained that he shouldn't have come~

It was Xu Cefei's first time eating mutton. She followed Shen Chuwei's example, picked up a piece of lettuce, put it on two slices of mutton, spread some chili sauce on it, rolled it up and put it in her mouth. For a moment she forgot that Xiao Jinyan was there and took a big bite.

When she put the mutton into her mouth, she saw Xiao Jinyan sitting next to her. She didn't know whether to eat the mutton in her mouth or not.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart that there was a sentence in the book that was absolutely true: men only affect the speed of making meals.

Xiao Jinyan paused in chewing and glanced at Xu Cefei. He saw that she had her head lowered and her cheeks were twitching. It was obvious that her mouth was stuffed with a lot of food. She lowered her head probably because she was afraid of being seen.

He remembered that Concubine Xu used to eat in small bites in order to make herself look dignified and elegant.

Do men affect the speed of making food?

Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at Shen Chuwei. She was taking a big bite of mutton with her cheeks bulging. She was eating with great pleasure.

He suddenly understood why the way Xu Cefei ate looked familiar, because she looked a bit like Shen Chuwei.
