Chapter 257 Is this a bad thing for my sister-in-law? Who is the light bulb?
Xiao Jinyan drank his tea leisurely and remained silent in response to his brother's words.
Silence is acquiescence.
Shen Chuwei believed in Xiao Jinyu's words 100%. Lord Lu was truly amazing.
When I have a chance I will ask Mr. Lu when we can raise piglets and white geese.
Xue Yan was stunned for a long time. Xueyue Country was still some distance away from Daxia. As for Qintianjian, it was the first time she heard of it.
As for that Lord Lu, is he really that powerful?
Xueyan only ate half a bowl of rice. It wasn't because she couldn't eat more, but because there was no more food.
The dishes on the dining table were almost empty, as they were cleared away one by one by the palace maids.
Xiao Jinyu took a sip of tea and couldn't help but sigh, "The tea in the Crown Prince's palace is still the best."
Xiao Jinyan joked: "You were only away for half a month, but it felt like you were away for half a year."
Xiao Jinyu nodded thoughtfully, "Brother Crown Prince is right, I am not independent enough. I miss home after only half a month away, so I decided to go out more and gain some experience."
Xiao Jinyu turned to look at Shen Chuwei and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you want to go out and play? I'll take you out when I have time."
"I..." Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan. It seemed difficult for her to go out alone.
Xiao Jinyan's eyes were cold: "You are running around on your own, don't bring harm to Shen Liangdi."
As everyone knows, Xiao Jinyu is the most favored prince and only listens to Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyu explained anxiously: "Brother, how can this be considered as bringing up my sister-in-law badly? Am I just worried that my sister-in-law will be too bored in the palace? Going out to relax is good for your health."
Then he said proudly, "That's Miss Han. She was depressed every day in the palace before. I took her out twice and she is in a much better mood now."
Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at Shen Chuwei and said, "She is not depressed."
Shen Chuwei paused while drinking tea, raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan. If possible, I don't mind going out for a walk and eating some delicious food~
Xueyan watched the two brothers chatting. She put down her teacup and asked softly, "Your Highness, are you still busy this afternoon?"
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Xueyan and said "hmm" lightly.
Xueyan asked, "How long will it take?"
Xiao Jinyu smiled and continued, "Princess Xueyan, do you want to supervise my brother's office?"
Xueyan smiled and shook her head, "Of course not. I want to wait until His Highness is done with his work, and then go enjoy the flowers and recite poems together."
After that, she looked at Shen Chuwei again, "Does Shen Liangdi want to join us?"
Shen Chuwei glanced at Xiao Jinyan and said, "I am not interested in appreciating flowers, reciting poems or composing couplets."
Xiao Jinyan put down the teacup, with a flash of displeasure in his eyes: "I will be very busy today."
Xueyan said sympathetically, "It's okay. I can wait until you're done. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the best day to enjoy the moon. The Queen sent mooncakes this morning, which will come in handy."
There is another meaning behind Xueyan's words, which is to appreciate the flowers and the moon together and recite poems. The queen supports it.
Xiao Jinyu was annoyed when she heard this. "Why didn't your mother send me some mooncakes? I haven't eaten mooncakes for a long time. I want to eat lotus root with egg yolk."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Xueyan, "What kind of mooncake filling did my mother give you?"
Xueyan thought for a moment and said, "There are several flavors, including five-nut, red bean paste, lotus paste, egg yolk, and jujube paste. They all sound delicious."
Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up. It not only sounded delicious, it was indeed delicious.
Xiao Jinyu looked expectant: "Then I will come too tonight. It doesn't matter if there are mooncakes or not. What matters is that there are many people and it's lively."
Shen Chuwei also echoed: "Prince Yu is right, it's more lively when there are more people."
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Shen Chuwei and Xiao Jinyu and saw through their thoughts at a glance. They really didn't care about anything else just for the sake of food.
Xueyan was stunned. She never thought that she was targeted just for wanting to show off the mooncakes sent by the Queen.
Xiao Jinyan was busy until it was time to light the lamps. Xueyan came to the East Palace early with mooncakes to wait for Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan went to the Hehuan Hall first, and saw Shen Chuwei sitting in the corridor. When he saw him coming, he stood up to greet him.
"Your Highness, are you done?"
"Yeah." Xiao Jinyan held her hand and walked out.
Hehe! Needless to say, this is to take her along to a date.
The Peony Garden is the best place to enjoy the moon and flowers and recite poems.
There are six red lanterns hanging in the hexagonal pavilion, and a sheep-horn lamp is lit inside the pavilion.
On the stone table were a pot of hot tea, two plates of moon cakes, a plate of snacks, and a plate of pastries.
Xueyan was waiting in the pavilion early. When she saw Xiao Jinyan from a distance, she stood up happily until she saw that there was another person following him. The person was wearing a pink dress and she guessed it was Shen Chuwei.
When the person came closer, she went to meet him.
"Your Highness." Xue Yan saw Shen Chuwei and was surprised: "Isn't Shen Liang Di not interested in poetry?"
Shen Chuwei said: "It's very lively with many people."
"Come in." Xiao Jinyan walked in first.
Xueyan took the lead and followed.
Shen Chuwei was not in a hurry either. She walked into the pavilion with her skirt lifted up, sat down next to Xiao Jinyan, and looked at the moon cakes on the stone table. She felt a little greedy for a moment.
Xiao Jinyu strode over and asked, "I'm not too late, am I?"
Shen Chu smiled and said, "Not too late, not too late, just right."
"That's good." Xiao Jinyu sat down happily and saw the mooncakes. They were the same box of mooncakes his mother gave him last year. They tasted especially good.
Xueyan thought that Xiao Jinyu was joking at lunch, but she didn't expect that Xiao Jinyu really came.
What started as a date for two people turned into a date for four.
Xueyan raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, how about we write a poem about the moon?"
Xiao Jinyan said calmly: "Princess Xueyan comes first."
Shen Chuwei picked up the egg yolk lotus seed paste mooncake, brought it to her mouth and took a bite. She tasted the egg yolk inside and was extremely happy.
Not wanting to be left behind, Xiao Jinyu picked up a mooncake with red bean paste filling and began to eat it. While listening to Princess Xueyan's poem, he casually praised her, "Not bad, not bad."
The posture was just like that of a young man sitting in a teahouse, drinking tea and listening to opera.
Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement, "Yeah, not bad."
In fact, she didn't even hear what poem Xueyan was composing.
Xueyan felt a little proud when she heard them praising herself, because reciting poems and composing couplets was also her strong point.
Xueyan and Xiao Jinyan each wrote a poem.
Shen Chuwei and Xiao Jinyu each ate two mooncakes.
At the end, there was only one five-nut mooncake left. They both tacitly agreed not to take it but to eat other pastries instead.
Xueyan saw that Shen Chuwei's mouth never stopped talking, and she could not appreciate the joy of reciting poems with the person she liked.
She happily reached out to take the mooncake, but was stunned for a moment when she found that there was only one left in the two plates.
Only one mooncake is left out of eight?
Xue Yan looked up and saw Shen Chuwei and Xiao Jinyu eating mung bean cakes. She had no choice but to pick up the last piece and break it into two. She happily handed one half to Xiao Jinyan and said, "Your Highness, have some mooncakes.
