Chapter 280: Implicitly mocking her for being out of her mind, Xuetuan assists
After hearing what Xueyan was thinking, Xiao Jinyan paused in picking up food, and as soon as he entered the East Palace, he set his sights on the Hehuan Palace?
He has seen too much about how greedy human hearts are over the years.
Especially the women in the East Palace, all of them want to be the Crown Princess and will stop at nothing to win favor.
A princess like her actually is thinking about other people's things.
Xueyan retracted her gaze and watched Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei picking up the food on their plates. She didn't understand what was so delicious about these ordinary side dishes.
She thought for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Jinyan, her eyes full of expectation: "Your Highness, I think the braised pork is well made. Would you mind giving me a piece of it to try?"
Xiao Jinyan paused in chewing, listening to the deliberately coquettish voice, and suddenly felt a little disgusted.
It did affect his appetite.
Shen Chuwei looked at Xue Yan with a curious look on her face: "Xue Cefei, how old are you this year?"
Xue Yan looked at Shen Chuwei after hearing this, "Fifteen years old, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I thought Concubine Xue was only three years old and needed an adult to pick food for her, but it turns out she is fifteen?" Shen Chuwei said, and looked into the plate. There were still two pieces of braised pork left in it. She unceremoniously picked them all up with a chopstick and put them into her bowl.
An imperceptible smile flashed across Xiao Jinyan's eyes.
Xueyan felt that Shen Chuwei was deliberately insulting her, and her expression immediately turned very ugly.
"Is Shen Liangdi's eyes okay? I'm so old and I'm standing here alone. Can't you tell how old I am?"
Shen Chu blinked her big, sparkling eyes twice and said, "My eyesight is very good. I saw a pimple on Concubine Xue's face."
Xueyan touched her right cheek and found a sesame-sized pimple that had suddenly appeared in the past two days.
Telling Xiao Jinyan in front of her that she has acne on her face? Isn't that a problem?
She said unkindly, "You have good eyesight? Then how come you can't tell the difference between a 15-year-old and a 3-year-old?"
"Princess Xue Ce, you don't know that we have a 28-year-old girl here."
Shen Chuwei pointed to her forehead with the hand holding the chopsticks and continued, "She is very pretty, but unfortunately her brain was damaged by a fever when she was a child. Her IQ remains at the level of a three-year-old. She needs an adult to help her pick up food."
Xiao Jinyan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but then he smiled again and praised himself in his heart, saying, "Well done."
Xueyan's face turned extremely ugly at this moment. Was Shen Chuwei trying to find a way to scold herself for being stupid?
Xueyan has been spoiled since she was a child, how could she have ever been treated like this?
She suppressed her dissatisfaction and forced a smile: "Shen Liangdi, let's go pick eggs together after breakfast, okay?"
Shen Chuwei picked up the last piece of braised pork and paused before putting it into her mouth. She looked at Xue Yan with some curiosity: "Didn't Concubine Xue dislike picking eggs? Why do you like it now?"
Xueyan said, "I now think that picking up eggs is quite interesting. I want to give it a try. I grew up in the palace and have never seen a hen lay eggs."
Shen Chuwei said vaguely: "No need to pick eggs today."
Xueyan snorted in her heart, it’s not that there’s no need to pick them up, it’s that all the chickens and ducks are dead, so there are no eggs left!
I felt much better thinking that the unpleasant smell of chicken shit was finally gone.
Xue Yanxu had no idea that Xiao Jinyan heard every word of these proud words.
Xiao Jinyan frowned. It turned out that it was Xueyan who poisoned the chickens and ducks. No wonder people couldn't find out the truth after a whole day of investigation.
Last time, Xiaojiu was sad for a long time.
If Xiaojiu hadn’t prepared in advance this time, the remaining chickens and ducks would have died. Wouldn’t she have cried?
Xiao Jinyan did not lose his temper at this time. Xue Yan was the princess of Xueyue Kingdom. If he was not careful in handling the matter, it would cause dissatisfaction of Xueyue Kingdom.
The two countries went to war a few days ago, which cost a lot of manpower and financial resources. We cannot lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.
Xiao Jinyan secretly made a note of it in his heart so that he could settle the score later.
"Shen Liangdi, why don't we have to pick up eggs?" Xueyan was already expecting Shen Chuwei to say that the chickens and ducks were dead and show a sad expression.
Shen Chuwei finished the braised pork in her mouth and said, "Xue Cefei, since you are so interested, let's go change the straw for the chickens and ducks later. Xiao Guizi was too busy this morning and didn't have time to change it."
The thatch in the chicken coop is changed every day, which creates a good environment and reduces odor.
It’s just that people who are timid and have clean habits still can’t stand the taste of chicken food~
For example, Xiao Jinyan, even though the thatch was newly replaced, he still couldn't stand the smell.
Xueyan saw that Shen Chuwei did not show the sadness she had expected. She remembered that Shen Chuwei was very sad when several chickens and ducks died last time.
She asked curiously, "What do you want to do with the thatch?"
"Princess Xuece will know soon." Shen Chuwei withdrew her gaze and continued eating.
Xueyan's eyes were full of doubts.
In the end, Xueyan ate the meal prepared by the kitchen.
After dinner, Xiao Jinyan went back to work, as there was still a pile of memorials waiting for his review.
Chunxi was holding the lamp in the front, and Shen Chuwei went to Xiyun Pavilion with Xueyan.
Xiyun Pavilion is remote. Xueyan has been there once and has also heard from people in the East Palace that Shen Liangdi used to live in Xiyun Pavilion.
Not only that, when Shen Liangdi was still Shen Fengyi, she was not favored at all, but later on, she gradually became favored.
These alone are enough to show that Shen Liangdi's methods are very clever, otherwise how could she seduce Xiao Jinyan and gain his favor?
When they arrived at Xiyun Pavilion, Shen Chuwei asked Xiao Guizi and Little Rabbit to light a few more lanterns.
The chicken coop, which was originally pitch black, suddenly lit up.
After dark, the chickens and ducks would go into the bamboo cage to rest. In the cage, there was water and food bowls for the chickens, as well as thatched grass soaked with chicken food.
At the end of the day, it smells a bit bad.
Xueyan couldn't help covering her mouth and nose as soon as she walked in. She glanced inside the fence and didn't see any chickens or ducks, so she felt relieved.
It would be better if they all died.
Shen Chuwei opened the fence door, looked at Xue Yan, and blinked her beautiful eyes twice, "Princess Xue, come in."
Xueyan glanced at the chicken coop in disdain, "There are no chickens in it. What's the point of changing them? You should go back and have a shower. Your Highness will come to the Dream Palace tonight."
She deliberately emphasized the last sentence, just to let Shen Chuwei know that Xiao Jinyan was hers.
As Xueyan finished her words, in the dark night, a snow-white figure ran over from not far away and pounced on Xueyan.
The impact was so strong that Xueyan was frightened and lost her balance, falling into the chicken coop.
"Ah!!" A scream broke through the night sky. Xueyan watched herself fall into the chicken coop with her eyes wide open, but was powerless to stop it.
The moment the disc went down, the fair little face touched the dirty ground.
"Meow." Xuetuan screamed, stepped on Xueyan's face with his two feet, and then disappeared into the dark night as if escaping.
Shen Chuwei saw Xueyan being knocked to the ground by a snowball and accidentally falling into the chicken coop. She felt sympathy for Xueyan for two seconds, but finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
She was a little confused. When did Xuetuan come here?
