Chapter 24 Can you eat well?
Shen Chuwei's sleepiness disappeared completely. She looked at the smiling Eunuch Liu and asked, "Your Highness, are you coming to have dinner?"
"Yes, Miss Shen, please prepare in advance. I will go back and report first."
Eunuch Liu smiled and led his people away.
Tao Chenghui was secretly delighted. This trip was not in vain. Fortunately, she did not go with Xu Chenghui, otherwise she would not have known in advance that His Highness would come to Xiyun Pavilion for dinner, and most importantly, she would be able to meet His Highness.
Shen Chuwei couldn't help but complain, why did so many women come to her place to dine?
Last time, she was enjoying her meal when Xiao Jinyan finished eating, and she was forced to put down her chopsticks.
Are you coming again this time?
Can she still eat properly?
Tao Chenghui didn't notice that Shen Chuwei looked depressed. "Sister Shen, His Highness is so kind to you. He is so busy but still comes to have dinner with you."
Shen Chuwei glanced at Tao Chenghui. Xiao Jinyan was good to her? He didn't even let her eat her fill and was even aggressive towards her!
The smile on Tao Chenghui's lips froze. Why did she feel that Shen Chuwei was unhappy?
It must be her illusion. She must be so happy that His Highness is coming.
Chunxi was very happy. His Highness might stay overnight when he came for dinner. As long as the young lady tried hard, would the young master be far away?
With a lady like you who is so favored, it's only a matter of time before she gets pregnant. By then, she will surely be framed by someone.
I must review some of the palace fighting plots tonight!
Chunxi came over happily, "My lady, what dishes are you preparing tonight? What ingredients do you need? I will go to the kitchen to get them."
His Highness was coming for dinner, and not only could she not refuse, she also had to serve him well.
Shen Chu sighed slightly, then thought of going to the kitchen to get the ingredients, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Chunxi, take the pen."
"Okay, I'll get it right away." Chun happily took out paper and pen.
Shen Chuwei took a pen and wrote down a long list of ingredients, then put the pen down and handed it to Chunxi.
Chunxi took the menu and ran straight to the kitchen.
As soon as Chunxi left, Shen Chuwei lay down on the rocking chair again, resting her head on her hands and crossing her legs. When she thought about having ingredients to make delicious food, her mood instantly became happy.
Tao Chenghui sat there awkwardly.
Shen Chu glanced and saw that Tao Chenghui was still sitting here with no intention of leaving. She asked curiously, "Is Sister Tao not busy?"
Tao Chenghui quickly shook his head: "Not busy, not busy, I feel like my sister and I are particularly compatible and I want to spend more time with her."
Well!
She really doesn't need it!
Shen Chuwei retracted her gaze and thought about how to make delicious food later. She was drooling just thinking about it.
Chunxi ran all the way to the kitchen. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she saw Eunuch Qian standing on the steps. When he saw her coming, he immediately greeted her with a smile.
"Miss Chunxi, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
Chunxi couldn't help rolling his eyes. This time his attitude was completely different from last time.
"Eunuch Qian, how dare you leave me waiting?"
When Eunuch Qian heard this, he knew that Chunxi still remembered the past. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Chunxi is good at joking. Let me take you in to have a look."
"Eunuch Qian, you are too polite. How dare a servant like me joke?" Chunxi snorted.
Eunuch Qian gave a wry smile.
Chunxi handed the menu in his hand to Eunuch Qian, "All the dishes my young master wants are written here."
Eunuch Qian took a glance at the menu and was shocked for a long time. He asked in confusion: "Miss Chunxi, is this written wrong? 20 kilograms of pork and 10 kilograms of beef?"
Chunxi was stunned for a moment when she heard that. She came over and glanced at the menu. Thinking of the young lady's cooking skills, she knew that so many dishes must be useful.
She nodded. "Yes, just prepare it according to the menu."
Eunuch Qian had already received news from the Eastern Palace asking him to wait, and he had to give Xiyun Pavilion no matter how much more it wanted.
"Miss Chunxi, please wait for now. We will go and prepare it now."
Although Eunuch Qian is snobbish, he is still very efficient, probably because of the prince.
Things were taken out one by one and piled up into a small mountain.
When Chunxi saw all these things, she glanced at Eunuch Qian and said worriedly, "There are so many things, I can't move them back by myself?"
Eunuch Qian said with a flattering smile: "Miss Chunxi, don't worry, we will have someone send it back to you right away."
After saying this, he instructed the eunuch behind him, "Come here, both of you, and help me send it back."
Two young eunuchs ran over swiftly and picked up the basket of vegetables that was handed over.
Chunxi turned around and walked ahead with satisfaction after seeing this. If I don’t show some respect, do you really think my young lady is easy to bully?
Eunuch Qian followed closely with two young eunuchs.
When they arrived at Xiyun Pavilion, Eunuch Qian ordered two young eunuchs to take the vegetable basket to the small kitchen, and then he took the initiative to come to Shen Fengyi to pay his respects.
"Your servant greets Shen Fengyi."
Although Shen Chuwei had never been to the Yu Kitchen, she knew that the Yu Kitchen didn't take her seriously because she was not favored, so even if she wanted to eat meat, she didn't let Chunxi go to the Yu Kitchen to get meat.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Shen Fengyi." Eunuch Qian said flatteringly, "Shen Fengyi, your ingredients are all fresh. I will go back and report."
Chunxi looked at Eunuch Qian's fawning face and glared at him.
Tao Chenghui sat there waiting for an hour and eventually fell asleep.
Shen Chuwei had no intention of paying attention to Tao Chenghui, but went into the kitchen with Chunxi.
Chunxi puffed up her cheeks and said, "My lady, Tao Chenghui heard that Your Highness was coming to have dinner, so he deliberately stayed away."
Shen Chuwei was not stupid and of course she knew Tao Chenghui's purpose, but she couldn't chase him away with a stick, right?
She just wants to eat and drink and does nothing else.
Chunxi asked curiously, "My dear, what do you want so much pork and beef for?"
"Of course we'll make something delicious." Shen Chuwei checked the ingredients and said to Chunxi, "There are eggplants in the yard. We'll make minced meat eggplants tonight. We'll marinate the leftover meat with salt. We'll make beef jerky as a snack."
Chunxi is a good cook, but she has never heard of many modern dishes, so Shen Chuwei needs to cook some dishes herself while Chunxi learns by the side.
Lighting time
Eunuch Liu stood at the door and shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
Tao Chenghui had just woken up and was wondering where Shen Fengyi had gone. She was frightened by the voice and immediately stood up and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Xiao Jinyan strode into Xiyun Pavilion. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist. The jade pendant on his waist swayed from side to side with his owner's movements.
Seeing Tao Chenghui, he asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
Tao Chenghui replied cautiously: "I came here to chat with Sister Shen to relieve her boredom."
How did I fall asleep?
Let His Highness see how vicious I am.
Eunuch Liu's shout made Shen Chuwei run out of the small kitchen in a hurry. When she saw Xiao Jinyan, she bowed and said, "May your highness be blessed with good health."
Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei with his dark eyes. Her sleeves were rolled up high, and she was wearing a skirt. Her long hair was braided into two pigtails and hung in front of her. It was obvious that she was busy in the kitchen.
