Chapter 242: A man’s mouth is deceiving

She put the chicken drumstick into the bowl in front of Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, this chicken drumstick is especially delicious."

Xiao Jinyan looked at the chicken leg in front of him and raised the corners of his lips, "I'll taste it."

Compared to Xiao Jinyan's slow and leisurely eating style, Shen Chuwei just took the chicken leg and started eating it.

Xiao Jinyan recuperated for a few days, and under Shen Chuwei's care, the wound healed quickly.

After the injury healed, he started to get busy.

Shen Chuwei also returned to the Hehuan Palace, and all she did was eat and sleep.

Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui ran more and more diligently.

In addition to chatting in private to relieve boredom, he also asked Shen Chuwei for a storybook to read.

I became addicted to reading the novels and even learned a lot of modern dialect.

Shen Chuwei looked at Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui, wondering if she had led them astray.

As dinner time approached, Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui had no intention of leaving, so Shen Chuwei asked Chunxi to cook more dinner.

Just when dinner was about to start, Xiao Jinyan arrived. When he saw Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui, he frowned, his eyes full of disdain.

When Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui saw Xiao Jinyan coming, they both frowned and thought the same thing.

The sisters were having a meal together and chatting, why was Xiao Jinyan, a grown man, adding to the fun?

Xiao Jinyan: “…”

Four people sat around the dining table and had dinner.

Xiao Jinyan was a man of few words to begin with, and with the other two people around, he had no desire to speak.

Concubine Xu had a lot to say, but because Xiao Jinyan was present, she had to hold it in.

A meal that gave me the illusion of a banquet at Hongmen.

After dinner, Xiao Jinyan was used to drinking some tea.

Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui went back after dinner.

Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan drinking tea and said without looking up: "Your Highness, don't drink anymore. Take a bath first, and then I will change the medicine for you."

"Okay." Xiao Jinyan put down the teacup and went to take a bath.

Shen Chuwei prepared the medicine. She made all of it herself and it was very effective.

I heard some movement behind me, turned around and saw Xiao Jinyan walking out wearing only pants. Her figure was pleasing to the eyes no matter how you looked at it.

I've seen it and touched it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Your Highness, please sit down first. I will change the medicine for you."

Xiao Jinyan came and sat down beside the bed to make it easier for her to change the dressing.

These days, she is the one who changes the medicine.

The gauze was untied, revealing the wound, which had healed well.

Changing the dressing and bandaging are child's play and will be healed in a short while.

"Okay, I'm going to take a bath too." Shen Chuwei packed her things, took her clothes and went to take a bath.

When she came out, she found that Xiao Jinyan was not wearing a shirt and was sitting at the head of the bed so calmly.

"Why aren't you wearing any clothes, Your Highness?"

When she came over, Xiao Jinyan pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "You have to take it off later, so as not to waste time."

Shen Chuwei stared at Xiao Jinyan without blinking, and then he carried her to the bed. After the bed curtains were lowered, the light became much dimmer.

She noticed that the bedside lamp had been turned on without her knowing.

She placed her hands on Xiao Jinyan's strong chest and looked at him with her beautiful starry eyes, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan kissed her lips and said, "Call me Jinyan."

"Jinyan." Shen Chuwei still put her hand on his chest and reminded him, "You are injured, so you should not do any strenuous exercise."

"It's okay. I know my limits." Xiao Jinyan lifted her chin and bent down to kiss her.

Shen Chuwei blinked his big eyes twice, expressing his deep doubt about Xiao Jinyan's sense of propriety.

Before falling asleep, Shen Chuwei squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Where is the agreed limit?"

The next day, Shen Chuwei lay on the bed, too lazy to move. If she hadn't been awakened by hunger, she would not have been able to wake up at this moment.

She shouted in her hoarse voice: "Chunxi, if you don't come, your little master will starve to death."

Chunxi had been guarding the door. When he heard the familiar cry for help, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing Shen Chuwei lying on the bed, I probably guessed,

"My lady, I will wait for you to wash and have breakfast."

Shen Chuwei looked at Chunxi's busy figure and sighed: "If you want to survive, you still have to rely on Chunxi."

Chunxi brought breakfast to the bedside so that Shen Chuwei could replenish his strength.

Today is a happy day, Prince Yu’s birthday.

The Queen started preparing for Prince Yu's birthday early.

The concubines from the three palaces and six courtyards all came to send birthday gifts. The gifts filled up the table and one table was not enough to hold them all.

The queen looked at her son and thought about how Yu'er looked when he just learned to walk. She felt that time had passed so quickly.

"Yu'er, you are one year older. I hope you can stay like this forever, safe and happy."

Xiao Jinyu hugged the queen tightly, and was extremely happy. "Mother, I have grown up and can protect you now."

The queen smiled happily when she heard this, "Yu'er, you only know how to make your mother happy."

Xiao Jinyu said seriously, "I am telling the truth, not just to please you."

Not far away, Xiao Jinyan stood there straight, looking at the mother and son in front of him. The warm scene made him stunned for a long time.

Shen Chuwei saw Prince Yu celebrating his birthday, and curiously tugged at Xiao Jinyan's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, when is your birthday?"

Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused, he lowered his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei, shook his head, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.

Shen Chuwei didn't understand what Xiao Jinyan meant by shaking his head, and seeing that he was still drinking, she didn't ask any more questions.

Xiao Jinyu strode over with a happy face, a wine glass in his hand.

"Brother, I'll toast you a glass."

"Hmm." Xiao Jinyan raised the wine glass, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Xiao Jinyu was celebrating his birthday tonight and had drunk quite a bit of wine. He blushed and asked, "Brother, why are you hiding here drinking?"

Xiao Jinyan answered simply and to the point, "It's clean here."

Xiao Jinyu teased, "Brother is too smart. No one will force you to drink like this."

Xiao Jinyan did not comment.

The queen waved to Xiao Jinyu and shouted happily, "Yu'er, come here quickly. Your mother has cooked longevity noodles for you."

Xiao Jinyu turned around and said, "Mother, I will come right over."

After saying that, he retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Brother, let's go eat longevity noodles together."

Xiao Jinyan said calmly: "I am not hungry, you go ahead."

"Okay then." Xiao Jinyu said nothing more and turned to walk towards the queen.

Xiao Jinyan looked for a while, finished the wine in the glass, put it down, turned around and walked out of the side hall.

Shen Chuwei was enjoying delicious food when she saw Xiao Jinyan turning around and leaving. She looked at the food in front of her that she hadn't finished yet and reluctantly chased after him.

She caught up with him, grabbed Xiao Jinyan's hand, and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, where are you going?"

Xiao Jinyan tilted his head slightly, his features hidden in the shadows, "I've drunk too much, so I came out to get some fresh air."

Shen Chuwei said: "Then I will ask Liu Xi to prepare some sobering soup for you."

"No need." Xiao Jinyan paused, thinking of how she had been talking non-stop just now, "You can go in, don't worry about me."

Shen Chuwei was indeed reluctant to give up the delicious food she had just eaten, but when she heard Xiao Jinyan say that he was drunk, she lowered her head and glanced at the five or six steps of stairs.

"Your Highness, you should not stand on the stairs when you are drunk. You may fall down easily."
