Chapter 256 Can my brother just pick up food for others? She is my sister-in-law

Xueyan's fluttering gauze dress drew a beautiful landscape line on the bluestone road.

Shen Chuwei stopped and looked at Xiao Jinyan. He was still wearing court robes, so he must have been busy until now and had just returned.

At this time, Xue Yan had already walked in front of Xiao Jinyan, her beautiful eyes smiling, "Your Highness, I came to play with Shen Liang Di today."

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei not far away. She was holding Xuetuan in her arms, and it was unknown where she was going.

He looked at Xueyan and said in a cold and distant voice: "Princess Xueyan, Shen Liangdi doesn't like to play with strangers. If Xueyan really wants to play, she can find someone else."

After saying that, he walked straight towards Shen Chuwei.

Xue Yan stood there in a daze. She turned around to look at Xiao Jinyan's departing back and followed him in small steps.

Xiao Jinyan came to Shen Chuwei, glanced at the snowball in her arms, and asked her, "Where are you going with the snowball?"

Shen Chuwei raised her delicate chin and said, "Your Highness, I am going to pick up eggs."

Picking eggs?

When Xiao Jinyan heard this term for the first time, he was stunned for a moment, "Why do we need to pick up eggs? Where can we pick them up?"

Shen Chuwei: "Xiyun Pavilion."

Xue Yan looked at Shen Chuwei and said, "Shen Liang Di, you go pick up the eggs. I won't go until His Highness comes back."

Shen Chu smiled slightly, "I won't go either."

Xue Yan looked at Shen Chuwei with a puzzled look on her face, "Weren't you in a hurry to pick up the eggs just now?"

Chunxi appeared from behind, "My lady, I will go pick up the eggs."

After Chunxi finished speaking, she walked happily towards Xiyun Pavilion.

Xueyan paused when she saw this, then turned to look at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, I will have lunch with you today."

She reached out and tried to hold Xiao Jinyan's arm.

Xiao Jinyan was quick-eyed and quick-handed and dodged it easily.

Seeing the snowball in Shen Chuwei's arms, he reached out to hug it, "Give it to me, it's so heavy, it's tiring to hold it all the time."

Shen Chuwei didn't say anything and let Xiao Jinyan hold her.

Xue Yan's hands were mostly in the air. She looked at the snowball in Xiao Jinyan's arms, which was glaring at her with bared teeth. She didn't dare to reach out her hand to hold Xiao Jinyan's arm, for fear that the snowball would suddenly bite her.

Lunch time

The three of them sat around the dining table.

Shen Chuwei looked at the delicious food in front of her and picked out the ones she liked.

Xiao Jinyan understood her preferences and would pick up some of her favorite dishes for her from time to time.

Xueyan ate slowly because she was wearing a veil. Seeing Xiao Jinyan picking up food for Shen Chuwei, she looked at Xiao Jinyan, pointed at the four-happiness meatballs in the distance and said, "Your Highness, can you help me pick up some food? It's too far away for me to reach it."

While Xueyan was talking, Shen Chuwei reached into the plate with her chopsticks, picked up the last four-happiness meatball and put it into her bowl, then took a bite.

Xueyan had just finished speaking when she saw Shen Chuwei pick up the last four-happiness meatball and put it into her mouth, and she was stunned.

Shen Chuwei chewed something and found Xue Yan looking at him. He spoke vaguely, "The Four Happiness Meatballs are delicious."

After saying that, he took another bite.

The Four Joys Meatballs were gone, so Xueyan Gancui replaced them with another dish. "Then I won't eat the Four Joys Meatballs. Your Highness, give me some fish fillets."

"Brother, are you having lunch? I arrived at the perfect time." Xiao Jinyu came unexpectedly and came to the East Palace as if he was returning to his own bedroom. He sat down directly at the dining table.

He turned to Liu Xi and said, "Eunuch Liu, bring me another set of bowls and chopsticks."

Liu Xi ordered the palace maids to add more bowls and chopsticks.

Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyu, "Didn't you say you would be back tomorrow?"

"I was originally planning to come back tomorrow, but I hurried back last night."

Xiao Jinyu found a strange woman sitting next to the prince, "Brother, who is she?"

"She is Princess Xueyan of the Xueyue Kingdom." Xiao Jinyan answered concisely.

"Oh, no wonder you look unfamiliar."

At this time, the palace maid brought a new set of bowls and chopsticks.

Xiao Jinyu was also hungry at this time, so he picked up the bowl and started eating.

Xueyan looked at the boy in front of her and felt that he was somewhat similar to Xiao Jinyan. "Are you the Crown Prince's younger brother?"

Xiao Jinxu puffed up his cheeks and said, "Yes, he is a genuine brother."

Xueyan said: "No wonder he looks very similar to His Highness."

Xiao Jinyu said proudly: "Of course."

Xueyan smiled, looked at Xiao Jinyan, pointed at the plate of fish fillets and said, "Your Highness, I want to eat fish fillets. Can you help me pick them up?"

Xiao Jinyu picked up the fish fillet and placed it directly in front of Xueyan, "Princess, it's inconvenient to let others take more, take it yourself, take as much as you want to eat."

After saying that, he reached in with his chopsticks, picked up some and put it in the bowl.

Xueyan looked at the fish fillet in front of her, not knowing what to say, so she reached in with her chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish fillet, put it in the bowl, and ate it slowly.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan curled the corners of his lips, picked up some fish fillets and put them into Shen Chuwei's bowl.

Shen Chuwei saw the extra fish fillets suddenly appearing in the bowl, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jinyan, frowned, picked up the fillets and put them into her mouth to eat.

When the snow smoke appeared, the fish fillet in the bowl instantly lost its fragrance.

She took two bites of rice and saw the plate of ribs in front of Shen Chuwei. She wanted to eat some, so she said, "Your Highness, I want to eat ribs."

"Don't bother my brother. He's very busy every day. We can't delay his meals. I'll serve it to you." As Xiao Jinyu spoke, he picked up the plate of ribs and placed it in front of Xueyan.

There were two ribs left, and the rest were all eaten by Shen Chuwei.

After Xiao Jinyu put down the plate, he picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in the bowl, and said with a smile: "Two pieces, one piece per person is just right."

After saying that, he put it in his mouth, took a bite, and ate it very deliciously.

Xueyan frowned unconsciously, picked up the last piece of ribs and took a bite. Even if she wanted to eat it, it had no taste when it entered her mouth.

Shen Chuwei ate four bowls of rice, put them on her chopsticks with satisfaction, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

Xiao Jinyu had just finished her second bowl of rice when she saw Shen Chuwei had already put down her bowl and chopsticks, so she asked, "Sister-in-law, you don't want to eat anymore?"

Shen Chuwei chuckled twice, "I'm full."

Xue Yan heard him calling Shen Chuwei sister-in-law and asked in confusion: "Why do you call her sister-in-law? Shouldn't the title of sister-in-law be used only by the Crown Princess?"

Xiao Jinyu said as a matter of course, "I like to call her sister-in-law, is that not okay?"

Xue Yan paused, "...But, there is a Crown Princess, what is your name?"

Xiao Jinyu thought he knew the crown prince very well. He said with certainty and assurance, "Isn't there no crown princess? My brother is not in a hurry to have a crown princess."

After that, he gossiped to Xueyan again, "My brother's fortune is not good. He won't be able to marry a crown princess in the next one or two years."

Xueyan looked unconvinced, "Who said that?"

Xiao Jinyu said: "The chief of Qintian Prison, Lord Lu said that he is a supernatural being. He can predict marriages, fortunes, and even observe the stars to predict fortunes."

"...But," Xueyan said in disbelief, the rice in her mouth was stuck in her throat and she couldn't swallow it.

"I know you don't believe me, but you can ask around about Lord Lu's reputation, and you'll know how great he is."
