Chapter 262: Don't believe it! Deliberately using a light bulb to cause trouble
Shen Chuwei had just picked up the embroidery needle when she heard Concubine Xu's words and was stunned for a moment, "Shameless?"
"It's Princess Xueyan, who is still a girl. But she keeps pestering Your Highness for no reason. Isn't that shameless?" Concubine Xu said with a righteous tone.
Tao Chenghui couldn't help laughing with his handkerchief covering his mouth: "Haha, who made our prince so handsome and unrivalled?"
Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement when she heard this. She had never seen a man more handsome than Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan is both civil and military, and he is also the crown prince, so it is normal for Xueyan to like him.
When Concubine Xu saw Shen Chuwei picking up the embroidery needle, she advised, "Stop embroidering. Let's go and see how that shameless woman tries to seduce His Highness."
"I have to embroider it, it's urgent." Shen Chuwei thought that after finishing the embroidery in two days, she would replace the sachet that Xiao Jinyan carried with him. It would be good for him as well as for me!
Concubine Xu sighed, "There is no need to rush at this moment. The most important thing now is to stop the shameless seducer from seducing Your Highness."
Shen Chu raised her head slightly and looked at Concubine Xu. She rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was going to catch the adulterer. She soothed her, "We have to trust His Highness."
"Shen Liang Di, did His Highness give you a drug? How could you be so easily fooled? Look at the emperor, he has three palaces and six courtyards, how many children does he have? Concubine Ning has another one in her belly. People are saying that the emperor and the empress are very loving. If they are really in love, where did all those children come from?"
Concubine Xu tries to wake up Shen Chuwei who is in love.
Compared to Concubine Xu's excitement, Tao Chenghui was relatively calm. "I think what Concubine Xu said makes some sense. Although His Highness is not obsessed with women, he is also a man, and it is difficult for men to resist temptation."
Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously to show his agreement, "What you said makes sense."
Concubine Xu said, "Let's go. I heard that Princess Xueyan has invited Your Highness to admire the lotus flowers. The lotus flowers are blooming especially early this year."
Shen Chuwei did not leave but held up the sachet in her hand to show them, "I want to embroider more flowers."
Concubine Xu was furious, "Don't you dislike needlework?"
"I won't embroider anymore after I finish this." Shen Chuwei felt miserable but couldn't express it. If she hadn't been so smart, she wouldn't have to rush to embroider.
Concubine Xu stared at Shen Chuwei for a long time, somewhat confused, "Are you really not worried that His Highness will be snatched away by that shameless person?"
Shen Chuwei still said the same thing, "We must trust His Highness."
Concubine Xu: “…” I don’t believe it!
Tao Chenghui: “…”
In the end, Shen Chuwei was pulled out by Concubine Xu, with the reason being, "If men's words could be trusted, even pigs could climb trees."
Shen Chuwei: "..." Xu Cefei was completely led astray by her, no, by the romance novels~
When he arrived at the lotus pond, Tao Chenghui saw Chang Liangyuan approaching slowly.
"What is Chang Liangyuan doing here?"
Concubine Xu snorted: "The position of Crown Princess is about to be lost, how can she not be anxious?"
Chang Liangyuan was not surprised to see Shen Liangdi and the others. She stepped forward and bowed, "Concubine Xu, Shen Liangdi, you are here too?"
Concubine Xu stroked her temples and said, "Chang Liangyuan never leaves the main gate, never goes out the back gate, pant every three steps and cough every ten steps. How come she has the time to go out for a walk today?"
I learned the term "放风" from romance novels, implying that Chang Liangyuan feels like she is in prison every day.
Shen Chuwei understood the meaning of this sentence and found that after Xu Cefei read the romance novels, she even used some modern pronouns when she was talking back at people.
Chang Liangyuan looked unhappy when she heard this. Ever since she was punished, Concubine Xu had been speaking more and more without restraint, which made her very disgusted.
"Doctor Yu said that since you are not feeling well, you should go out for more walks and get some sun, which is good for your health."
Concubine Xu retracted her gaze and looked at Princess Xueyan and her concubine Xiao Jinyan who were late. She deliberately raised her voice and said, "Princess Xueyan is really of noble status. Your Highness came in person to accompany her to appreciate the lotus flowers."
Chang Liangyuan heard the voice and looked, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Jinyan coming to accompany Xueyan. She clenched her hand tightly.
A few days ago, Chang Liangyuan went to see the queen, and through indirect questioning, she learned that Princess Xueyan was the most favored daughter of King Xueyue and came with a generous dowry.
Whoever marries Princess Xueyan will inherit the Xueyue Kingdom and a generous dowry.
Xiao Jinyan is the crown prince, and there is no reason to refuse when it comes to benefits.
When Chang Liangyuan looked away, she found Shen Chuwei and Concubine Xu Tao Chenghui on a small boat.
It's just that we each have our own thoughts. Do we really think we are good sisters?
In this palace, sisters can become enemies because of favoritism, let alone those who have no blood relationship?
Didn't Shen Mingzhu attack her own sister in order to win favor?
Chang Liangyuan snorted, retracted her gaze to look at Xiao Jinyan, walked over with a handkerchief in her hand, and bowed, "Your Highness, may you be blessed with good health."
Then he bowed to Xue Yan, "Princess."
Xue Yan stared at Chang Liangyuan with a puzzled look on her face, "Chang Liangyuan, why are you here?"
Chang Liangyuan said softly, "I heard that there is a lotus in the lotus pond, and it is the only one that blooms early, so I came here to take a look out of curiosity."
Xiao Jinyan saw Shen Chuwei coming from a distance. He thought Shen Chuwei would be the same as last time, and a smile just appeared in his eyes. However, when he saw her get on a small boat, his eyes froze and the smile disappeared instantly.
Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and looked at Chang Liangyuan, changing his usual cold and distant attitude. "I heard that Chang Liangyuan has been unwell these days. Is she feeling better now?"
Chang Liangyuan hadn't heard Xiao Jinyan speak to her in a gentle voice for a long time. Now that she heard it, she was stunned for a few seconds.
Being flattered!
She smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am much better now. Thank you for your concern."
Xiao Jinyan said: "Since you are here, let's go to the lake to enjoy the lotus flowers together."
Chang Liangyuan was just trying to find a reason to go along, but she didn't expect Xiao Jinyan to take the initiative to bring it up. She was immediately overjoyed, "I obey your command."
Xueyan glanced at Chang Liangyuan. It was originally a date for two people, but it turned into a date for three people. No one would be happy.
Xiao Jinyan was the first to walk towards the cruise ship.
Xueyan and Chang Liangyuan boarded the cruise ship one after another.
After Xiao Jinyan came up, he glanced at the small boat not far away and was a little confused. Why didn't Shen Chuwei come to find him?
Xueyan was a little impatient, "Your Highness, let's go."
"Yes." Xiao Jinyan ordered Wei Chi to set off.
Xue Yan raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, her eyes full of excitement, "Your Highness, I heard that the twin lotus is a rare sight, and it bloomed early, which should be a good sign. I can't wait to see what the twin lotus looks like?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "The twin lotus flowers are indeed a rare sight."
Chang Liangyuan watched Xue Yan's every move and thought that she must have fallen in love with Xiao Jinyan. Her aunt once said that it would be most suitable for Xue Yan to marry Xiao Jinyan.
She doesn't think so.
"It is my honor to be able to watch this spectacle with Your Highness."
