Chapter 251: Raise the hatred value to the maximum!

Xueyan looked at the two empty plates and a pile of fruit peels, raised her head and looked at Shen Chuwei opposite her, unable to believe that she had eaten all of this by herself.

Shen Chuwei ate and drank her fill, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, then stood up and bowed to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he put the snowball into Xiao Jinyan's arms and said, "Give the snowball back to Your Highness."

Then he walked away, waving his handkerchief...

Xiao Jinyan looked at Xuetuan in his arms. Xuetuan looked at Xiao Jinyan in confusion. He raised his head and looked at Shen Chuwei's leaving back, a little confused. Just left like that?

Return to Hehuan Hall

Concubine Xu couldn't help but say, "Shen Liang Di, why don't you learn from that princess? She wants peonies, so you should too. You can't just focus on eating them."

Shen Chuwei said, "You can't eat peony flowers, but you can fill your stomach with cakes and fruits."

Concubine Xu: "..."

Tao Chenghui: “…”

"I ate up all the cakes and fruits, and only left them a plate of unpalatable cakes." Shen Chuwei said with a smile.

Concubine Xu held up her forehead.

Tao Chenghui supported his forehead.

After dinner, Shen Chuwei took a shower and went to bed early. She didn't take a nap during the day, so she was extremely sleepy at this moment.

As soon as I lay down, I saw Xiao Jinyan walking in in a moon-white satin robe.

"Why do you go to bed so early?" As he spoke, he was already sitting on the edge of the bed.

Shen Chuwei said lazily: "I have nothing to do and want to go to bed early."

Xiao Jinyan supported himself on the bed with one hand and leaned closer to Shen Chuwei. As soon as he got close, he smelled the faint peach blossom fragrance on her body.

"Why are you in the Peony Garden today? Huh?"

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan who was approaching, and it seemed as if she could still smell the scent of peony flowers.

"I just happened to pass by unintentionally."

Xiao Jinyan looked at her steadily, "Really? Not for some other reason?"

Shen Chuwei said with a guilty conscience: "Of course it's true."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei, bent his head to kiss her lips, and at the same time, reached out to let down the bed curtain.

For a moment, the light in the bed dimmed.

Shen Chu blinked twice and reached out to push Xiao Jinyan away, but he grabbed her hand and pushed her back onto the bed.

"Xiaojiu."

“Your Highness…”

Xiao Jinyan frowned, "Call me Jinyan."

"…Golden words."

Shen Chuwei really had no words to describe her pain. She didn't sleep well last night, and she didn't take a nap today. She wanted to have an early nap at night but ended up not sleeping for half the night again.

Shen Chuwei was so sleepy that she could barely open her eyes. Looking at the prince who was still working hard, she advised him considerately, "Jinyan, combine hard work with rest."

Xiao Jinyan still only gave her two words, "Not enough."

Shen Chu opened his mouth slightly and wanted to try to persuade him again, but was caught by Xiao Jinyan.

What I wanted to say was blocked.

After a long time, Xiao Jinyan looked at the sleeping person. He didn't know what was wrong with him recently, but he couldn't control himself when he got close to her.

The next day, Shen Chuwei slept until noon, had breakfast, and went back to sleep.

Fortunately, Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui did not come to disturb her.

Concubine Xu originally wanted to come to find Shen Chuwei, but when she was passing through Xinlan Palace, she thought of Chang Liangyuan. Calculating the date, she thought the ban should be lifted.

She walked in swinging her handkerchief.

Huaixiang saw Concubine Xu coming and didn't want to let her in, but her status was not high enough, so she bowed and said, "Concubine Xu."

Concubine Xu waved her handkerchief with a look of disgust, "Where is Chang Liangyuan?"

Huaixiang replied: "My young master is resting."

"I'll go in and take a look." Concubine Xu walked straight in, swinging her handkerchief, not giving Huaixiang any chance to stop her.

Caixia stood at the door, staring at Huaixiang.

After Concubine Xu entered, she saw Chang Liangyuan sitting at the head of the bed, reading a book in her hand. She coughed lightly and said, "Chang Liangyuan is really free, she is still reading."

Chang Liangyuan saw Concubine Xu coming, threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and bowed, "Concubine Xu."

Concubine Xu nodded with satisfaction, "Chang Liangyuan, I remember that you are released from confinement today, why don't you go out for a walk?"

Chang Liangdi said calmly: "I feel a little uncomfortable and it is not appropriate for me to go out."

Concubine Xu had an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Did Chang Liangyuan also hear that Princess Xueyan will marry His Highness and become the Crown Princess?"

Chang Liangyuan paused, then looked up at Concubine Xu in disbelief, "What did you say? Princess Xueyan is going to be the Crown Princess?"

Chang Liangyuan has been under house arrest these days, and everything outside has been calm. No one has paid attention to it in these few days, and suddenly a Princess Xueyan appeared?

Concubine Xu was surprised. "Chang Liangyuan didn't know? Yesterday, His Highness took Princess Xueyan to visit the Peony Garden. The Queen also likes Princess Xueyan very much. I heard that the princess brought a lot of dowry."

Chang Liangyuan knew that Concubine Xu's visit was for no good reason. How could her aunt allow a princess from a foreign country to be the Crown Princess?

Concubine Xu glanced at Chang Liangyuan and her face turned a little pale. She continued, "That Princess Xueyan is so beautiful. Even I can't help but be moved when I see her, let alone Your Highness?"

Chang Liangyuan held the book tightly in her hand. Concubine Xu never praised anyone. The one who could be praised as beautiful by Concubine Xu must be the most beautiful woman in the world.

It's only been a month, how come a competitor suddenly appeared?

When Concubine Xu saw that Chang Liangyuan believed her, she didn't stay long and left happily, waving her handkerchief.

After a pause, Chang Liangyuan called out, "Huaixiang, I want to take a shower and change clothes. I want to go to my aunt's place."

"I'll prepare hot water right away." Huaixiang trotted out.

Xueyan was taken around by several princes these days, which made Xiao Jinyan breathe a sigh of relief.

As for how they quarreled, it had nothing to do with him.

It was just lunch time that day when Liu Xi trotted in.

"Your Highness, Princess Xueyan is here."

Xiao Jinyan frowned, "Why is she here?"

Liu Xi lowered his eyebrows and nodded, "I don't know either."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Where is Lu Zhaoyan?"

Liu Xi said: "Lord Lu has not returned to the palace yet."

Xiao Jinyan pondered for a moment and ordered, "Prepare lunch and call them all."

"Yes." Liu Xi turned and walked out.

Xiao Jinyan pursed her lips, stood up and left the study.

When I came out, I saw Xueyan standing in the yard. She was wearing a white dress with a gauze of the same color on her cheek. She looked beautiful and mysterious.

Xueyan saw Xiao Jinyan coming out and greeted him happily, "Your Highness, what have you been busy with these days?"

Xiao Jinyan's voice was still cold and distant. "I am busy with official duties these days. If the princess wants to go out and play, she can go find Prince Cheng and Prince Rui."

A hint of shyness flashed across Xueyan's eyes, "I'm looking for His Highness."

Xiao Jinyan: “…”

Shen Chuwei was thinking about having knife-cut noodles for lunch. Just as she finished ordering, Liu Xi arrived.

"Dear Shen Liangdi, His Highness wants you to come over for lunch." Liu Xi said with a kind smile.

When Shen Chuwei heard about having lunch, she nodded and agreed without even thinking, "Okay."

At lunch time, Shen Chuwei came out of the Hehuan Palace and saw Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui from a distance.

After the meeting, she learned from Concubine Xu that Xiao Jinyan had not only invited her, but also everyone else.

"Princess Xueyan is pestering Your Highness again. How can a girl not be reserved at all?" Concubine Xu showed a look of contempt.
