Chapter 293: Crying after being scolded, consummating marriage after complaining

It is destined to be childless, just a poor insect.

Shui Yao immediately understood what Xue Yan meant. She smiled and said, "I'll send it over right away."

Concubine Xu lived in fear for three days and three days and finally survived last night. Today, she could not wait to come to the Hehuan Palace to seek comfort.

Unfortunately, Concubine Xu didn't dare to say anything, and Shen Chuwei couldn't comfort her. The only thing that could comfort Concubine Xu was that the ice cream she had been researching for the past few days was ready.

It was really rare to be able to eat ice cream in ancient times.

The ice cream is made of milk, and the shell is made of chocolate and melon seeds. It is delicious and refreshing.

It was the first time for Xu Cefei to eat it. She excitedly grabbed Shen Chuwei's hand and asked, "Why do you always have such novel and delicious things?"

At this time, Concubine Xu had already forgotten the threats from the men in black in recent days.

"Because I'm a food connoisseur!" Shen Chuwei chuckled twice. As long as she wanted to eat, he would make it for her no matter what.

"I suddenly understand the taste of sweet love in the storybook. It's the taste of ice cream." Xu Cefei said and took a bite of ice cream.

Shen Chuwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Very imaginative!"

Concubine Xu came over curiously and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "When you are with His Highness, does it feel like eating ice cream?"

Shen Chuwei was stumped by the question, what does it feel like to be with Xiao Jinyan?

She pondered for a while and had a lot of ideas.

Sometimes I feel like a child being coaxed when I'm with Xiao Jinyan.

Sometimes I feel like a student who knows nothing.

It also feels like the two of them are eating marshmallows.

Chunxi came in and reported: "My lady, Shuiyao from the Qimeng Palace is here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shui Yao came in holding a watermelon, bowed to Shen Chuwei and Concubine Xu, then raised the watermelon in her hand and said with a smile: "Shen Liang Di, this is the watermelon that the emperor gave as a reward. It is a very rare seedless watermelon. My princess doesn't eat seedless watermelons, so I sent it to Shen Liang Di to taste."

When Concubine Xu heard about seedless watermelon, she frowned. Wasn't this a deliberate insinuation that Concubine Shen Liangdi had difficulty conceiving?

You are such a shameless person, using a watermelon to curse people?

"Concubine Xue is indeed a princess. She has seen a lot of things. She is not even interested in the seedless watermelon that the emperor has awarded. Unlike us, we still find it very rare."

Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement, "Seedless watermelon is my favorite. Concubine Xue is so generous."

Shui Yao was a little embarrassed, so she could only force a smile and said, "I will go back and report first."

After saying that, he turned around and went back.

Xueyan saw Shuiyao coming back and asked her proudly, "How is it? What did Shen Liangdi say? Did you get angry and your face turned pale?"

Shui Yao said, "Shen Liang Di said that she loves seedless watermelons the most and that you are very generous."

The smile on Xueyan's lips froze, "Isn't Shen Liangdi angry?"

Shui Yao shook her head, "I didn't see Shen Liang Di getting angry. Instead, I saw her smiling particularly happily."

"Is Shen Liangdi a fool? I scolded her for not being able to have children, and she is still happy?" Xue Yan felt that she was sending her a watermelon in vain.

Shui Yao guessed, "Princess, maybe Shen Liang Di didn't understand the meaning of giving you a seedless watermelon."

Xue Yan said bitterly: "As stupid as a pig, all you know is to play dumb to win His Highness' favor."

Shen Chuwei asked Chunxi to wash the watermelon, cut it into pieces, and put it into a glass bowl. If she hadn't been menstruating, she would have wanted to put ice cubes in it.

Seeing Shen Chuwei's happy look, Concubine Xu couldn't help but remind her, "That shameless person is using the seedless watermelon to scold you. He scolded you for being childless and unable to have children, yet you are still so happy."

Shen Chuwei said: "It's just a seedless watermelon. In the eyes of Concubine Xue, seedless watermelon has this meaning, but in my eyes, it is an ice-cold watermelon, watermelon-flavored ice cream, and watermelon juice. It is delicious and relieves the heat."

Concubine Xu was stunned for a while and felt that what Shen Chuwei said made some sense.

"If Concubine Xue knew that she had sent the watermelon despite her pain, not only did she not make you angry, but she also made us satisfied. I guess it's her who will be mad to death instead of you."

Chunxi brought two cups of watermelon cubes and handed them to Shen Chuwei and Concubine Xu respectively.

Shen Chuwei happily ate the watermelon. "Seedless watermelon is great. You don't have to spit out the seeds, and it's fresh."

Concubine Xu nodded in agreement.

After eating the watermelon, Concubine Xu took Shen Chuwei out.

Shen Chuwei looked at her doubtfully, "Where are you taking me?"

"Let's go and thank Concubine Xue for letting us eat such delicious watermelon." Concubine Xu said proudly.

When they arrived at the Qimeng Palace, the three of them exchanged a few polite words.

Xueyan looked at Shen Liangdi and Xu Cefei. They had just sent seedless watermelons and now they came to her house. They must be very angry and even brought help with them.

"Shen Liang Di is such a rare guest. How come she is here as a guest in the Dream Palace?"

Shen Chu smiled and said, "The seedless watermelon sent by Concubine Xue is delicious. I came here specially to thank you."

Xueyan found Shen Chuwei's smiling face very irritating. She actually came to thank her?

She forced a smile and said, "You're welcome, Shen Liang Di. We're all sisters."

Concubine Xu adjusted the peony pearls on her temples, raised her chin and smiled, "Concubine Xue is right. Only Concubine Xue is so generous as to give us seedless watermelons. I heard that seedless watermelons are extremely rare. Thanks to Concubine Xue, Concubine Shen and I are lucky enough to have a feast."

Concubine Xue's face became more and more ugly. She originally gave the watermelons to them to scold Concubine Shen Liang for being infertile, but she ended up satisfying their hunger and even showed off?

When Concubine Xu saw that Concubine Xue's face turned very ugly, she let out a breath of anger, then waved her handkerchief and took Shen Chuwei to say goodbye to Concubine Xue.

Coming out of the Qimeng Palace, Concubine Xu was extremely happy.

Shen Chuwei discovered that Concubine Xu’s greatest pleasure was to argue with others, and she felt refreshed after doing so.

For several days in a row, Xiao Jinyan worked overtime almost every day and was busy until late at night.

Xueyan kept waiting for Xiao Jinyan to come, but when she went, Xiao Jinyan was busy and had dinner in Hehuan Hall every day, which made Xueyan very dissatisfied.

Finally, she complained to the Empress, who happened to be there too. He learned that Princess Xueyan had married into the Eastern Palace and the Crown Prince had not yet consummated his marriage with her.

Seeing Xueyan's aggrieved look, he immediately became angry.

"Eunuch Li, call the prince to Yu's study."

"Yes." Eunuch Li took the order and went to the East Palace.

When Xiao Jinyan heard his father's call, he put down the work at hand and followed Eunuch Li to Yu's study.

Xiao Jinyan stepped into Yu's study and greeted him, "Father."

The emperor sat high in front of the dragon table, looking down at Xiao Jinyan, and said in a sharp voice: "Prince, Princess Xueyan has been married into the East Palace for some time. Why hasn't the marriage been consummated yet?"

Xiao Jinyan lowered his brows and nodded: "My father, Concubine Xue has just recovered from a serious illness, and I have been very busy recently, so we have not been able to consummate the marriage yet."

The emperor asked again: "Is it because you don't have time to review memorials?"

The emperor snorted coldly. Even if he was busy reviewing memorials, he still had time to consummate the marriage.
