Chapter 284: Finally got the hang of it, feeling so frustrated

A meaningful look.

Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, then followed his gaze and looked down. She was wearing a suspender top, and her lying position caused her neckline to be wide open, revealing a hint of spring scenery.

Because the weather was hot, she asked Chunxi to make her a pair of suspender pajamas made of silk, which was very cool to wear.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, who had already sat down on the bed.

"I am not uncomfortable."

Xiao Jinyan looked her up and down. It had been hot these past few days, so she started dressing like this and only wore it when she was resting.

His eyes darkened as he looked at the open neckline.

He moved his eyes from her chest to the book in her hand, "What are you doing?"

"I'm studying." Shen Chuwei sat up on the bed and crossed her legs.

Xiao Jinyan was very pleased that Xiaojiu finally understood: "It's rare that you are so motivated. What are you learning?"

"Recipes, I found that I have eaten many of the dishes many times. I want to research some new dishes and try something new."

Shen Chuwei proudly handed the recipe to Xiao Jinyan and turned to the page she was studying to show him.

Xiao Jinyan: “…” It turns out that what Xiaojiu was talking about learning was learning how to cook delicious food.

He looked at the page in front of him, which had a colorful menu on it. He touched the smooth surface of the paper with his slender fingers and realized it was different from the papers here.

He turned his head to look at Shen Chuwei, "Where did you get this recipe?"

Shen Chu paused slightly. How could she have forgotten that this was a modern cookbook, and the paper quality was completely different from the paper here.

Xiao Jinyan always pays attention to these details~

"I said I picked it up, Your Highness, do you believe it?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at her with a half-smile: "What do you think?"

Shen Chuwei blinked her bright eyes twice. Under Xiao Jinyan's gaze, she put one hand on his shoulder and tried to put the book back on the bedside table.

However, she was small and had short arms, so she had to sit on Xiao Jinyan's lap to put the book on the bedside table.

After putting the book away, she looked at Xiao Jinyan again and took the initiative to kiss the corner of his lips, "This is a goodnight kiss."

The implication is that it's getting late and it's time to rest.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, his dark eyes filled with misery.

Shen Chuwei didn't expect that it was easy to come up, but she couldn't come down.

She discovered a problem: in winter, Xiao Jinyan's body was like a furnace and wanted people to get close to him.

In summer, the body will be very hot, making people want to stay away from him~

Yixiangdian

This was the second time that Concubine Xu saw the man in black today. She had been trembling with fear for three days and three days at a time, and she was most afraid of the time agreed upon by the man in black.

Regardless of whether or not the person named Xiaojiu was found, she was afraid that the men in black would kill her to silence her.

In the past, they often said that they were arrogant and unforgiving.

She now wondered if this was the reason why she had such bad luck in meeting the man in black.

The night wind blew, and a slender figure appeared in the house.

Concubine Xu saw clearly that the man in black came in through the window, just like last time, he came silently.

The man in black came to the round table and sat down with his legs crossed, looking very relaxed, as if he was at home.

"How is it?"

Concubine Xu tightly grasped the small handkerchief in her hand, extremely nervous. She shook her head and said, "I haven't found it yet."

Hearing this, the man in black stared at Concubine Xu for a long time. She was wearing a purple dress, which made her skin look very fair.

With her hair tied up in a gentle manner, her luxurious hair accessories show her elegance.

One can tell at first glance that she is a rich girl who has been raised in a spoiled environment since childhood and has never suffered any hardship.

Xiaojiu will be more delicate and lovely than her.

Concubine Xu noticed that the man in black had been staring at her with his beautiful almond-shaped eyes. She protected herself with her hands and looked at him warily, "I'm telling you, I'm the prince's woman. If you dare to hit on me, don't blame me for not warning you, or your entire clan will be exterminated."

The man in black looked at her fiercely, but he was not frightened. He said calmly, "Are you the prince's woman?"

"Of course, I am the prince's concubine." Concubine Xu snorted. Are you scared?

The man in black nodded thoughtfully. He played with the teacup in front of him, glanced around the bedroom, and said quietly, "How long has it been since the prince stayed here?"

Concubine Xu felt that the man in black was mocking her on purpose. She raised her chin and said, "His Highness came yesterday, but you just didn't run into him."

The man in black laughed softly upon hearing this: "You are quite vain."

Concubine Xu was so embarrassed that she became angry: "What do you mean by that?"

The man in black answered simply and concisely: "I have been in the palace recently."

Concubine Xu shuddered when she heard this, and even her voice trembled: "You haven't been near my palace all the time, have you?"

The man in black did not deny it, "Almost all night long."

Concubine Xu: "..."

Oh my god!

Is this person a pervert?

Then he thought of his lie being exposed and wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground out of embarrassment.

"What's wrong with His Highness not coming? Is it okay for me to make a joke?"

The man in black smiled and said, "I'm joking too."

Concubine Xu: "..."

Concubine Xu's face turned red with anger, but the other person was so powerful and had poisoned her, so she didn't dare to confront him as usual.

It's so frustrating.

"Fighting with a bunch of women for one man, there are too many wolves and too little meat, so it's normal to stay alone in an empty room." The man in black paused here, "I will never let Xiao Jiuxu and so many women fight for one man."

After hearing the second half of the sentence, Concubine Xu thought, who wouldn't want to enjoy the love of one person alone? But, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines nowadays?

It is really rare to find a man as clean as Xiao Jinyan.

She looked at the man in black with curiosity: "Is Xiaojiu really your sweetheart?"

The man in black looked at Concubine Xu, his casual eyes carrying an aura of intimidation without even being angry.

Concubine Xu swallowed her saliva in fear, "I'm just asking casually. A man who can marry only one woman is already a rare species."

Rare species is a word she learned a few days ago, and she has already put it into practice.

"..." The man in black: "Rare species?"

Concubine Xu hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, this is meant to compliment you, to show that you are devoted and dote on your wife alone, which is rare in the world."

The man in black understood now, and his eyes flashed with ferocity: "No matter who wants to marry Xiaojiu, if he can't marry only Xiaojiu, he has no right to marry Xiaojiu."

Concubine Xu looked envious, "You are so nice to Xiaojiu."

The man in black remained noncommittal.

After the man in black left, he left her the antidote.

Concubine Xu took the antidote, glanced around the empty bedroom, and sighed inwardly, wondering why she didn't realize that this place was so empty before?

Concubine Xu threw away her handkerchief, undressed, and went to bed.

But when she thought about what the man in black said, that he was almost always near Yixiang Palace these nights, she became too scared to sleep.

The next day, Concubine Xu went to the Hehuan Palace with two national treasure eyes.

On the way, Caixia said, "My lady, Concubine Xue suddenly fell ill yesterday. I heard that she had a rash on her face."
