Chapter 3 She is a Lucky Person

Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at Lu Zhaoyan and saw him covering his mouth and laughing.

"Is it so funny?"

Lu Zhaoyan suppressed his smile and said, "I just think Shen Fengyi is very sincere."

"That's because you haven't seen how she is..." She competes for favor and seduces me.

The last few words were muted by Xiao Jinyan.

Lu Zhaoyan asked without knowing whether to live or die: "What happened to her?"

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "You are not here to gossip today."

Lu Zhaoyan only felt a chilly wind blowing across his back.

Eunuch Liu wanted to go in and give a reminder in advance, but was stopped by Xiao Jinyan.

When Xiao Jinyan came in, he saw Shen Chuwei sitting with his legs crossed, eating a piece of fruit he had never seen before, looking very carefree.

Chunxi was still thinking of a solution when she saw the Crown Prince coming. She happily reminded him, "My lady, the Crown Prince is here."

Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan, who swiftly got down from the couch and knelt down to salute him, with an unfinished strawberry in his mouth, his cheeks bulging, and his greetings were unclear.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good health."

Chunxi: "May your highness be blessed with good health."

Xiao Jinyan looked towards the fruit plate on the low table, which was filled with cleanly washed fruits, each one bright red and full.

"What are you eating?"

Shen Chuwei swallowed the strawberry in her mouth and replied, "Your Highness, it's a strawberry."

Xiao Jinyan asked again: "Why have I never heard of this kind of fruit?"

Shen Chuwei lied calmly, "I planted it myself. This kind of fruit grows in the mountains. It's normal that His Royal Highness has never heard of it."

Xiao Jinyan did not continue to ask questions after hearing this, but said: "Xuetuan is just sleepy, it's not a big deal."

"It turns out the kitten's name is Xuetuan. It looks plump and round, and the name suits it very well. Your Highness gave it a very nice name." Shen Chuwei did not forget to flatter it.

Xiao Jinyan: “…”

Shen Chuwei raised her delicate little face and looked at him expectantly, "Your Highness, the truth has been found out, so does this concubine not need to go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"

She just couldn't bear to part with the cute little ones in the backyard. They were so pitiful that no one would eat them when they were ripe.

Xiao Jinyan lowered her eyes and looked at the little face. The face without makeup was fair and rosy, much more pleasing to the eye than the one with heavy makeup before.

"Well, I wrongly blamed you. The slaves who were removed will be transferred back."

"No, no, it's enough to have Chunxi to serve me. If Your Highness really wants to reward me, can you ask the kitchen to send some raw beef and mutton?"

The main reason was that she wanted to eat hot pot, and the hot pot base, marinating sauces, and vegetarian dishes were all ready.

Hot pot without beef or mutton is soulless.

Since he was punished, the portions of food sent from the kitchen have become smaller and smaller, not to mention beef and mutton.

I usually open the stove myself.

It was the first time for Xiao Jinyan to see a woman offering beef or mutton as a gift.

"No more?"

"Return to Your Highness, no more."

Xiao Jinyan nodded, not being greedy: "I agree."

Shen Chuwei was overjoyed to have her wish fulfilled: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan saw that the corners of Shen Chuwei's mouth were almost curled up to the sky. Was she so happy just because of that little bit of beef and mutton?

He turned around and glanced at Lu Zhaoyan.

Lu Zhaoyan came in and kept looking at Shen Chuwei. A woman who could be chosen to be the crown prince must have a first-class appearance and figure.

The face is a rare sign of great wealth and honor.

Seeing Lu Zhaoyan nod, Xiao Jinyan did not stay long.

"I heard that Shen Fengyi is good at needlework, so please embroider a sachet for me and send it to my bedroom in three days."

Shen Chuwei wondered if she had heard it wrongly, "Your Highness, do you want me to embroider a sachet?"

"Do you think I have the time to joke with you?" Who made her think that embroidering sachets for him was a waste of time?

"If Your Highness the Crown Prince does not mind, then I will be your concubine."

Who the hell said she was good at needlework?

She doesn't know how to do needlework at all!

Xiao Jinyan raised his eyebrows: "Is it difficult?"

Shen Chuwei shook her head quickly: "It is my honor."

Before leaving, Xiao Jinyan took away the plate of strawberries.

Shen Chuwei had learned from her last experience, so she kept her head down this time and only raised it when she could no longer see the white boots.

Chunxi came over to help her.

After Shen Chuwei sat down, she reached out to grab the strawberries, but found nothing. She looked to the side and found that there were no strawberries anywhere. Even the fruit plate was gone.

Who else could have won it besides Sammul Hsiao?

Shen Chuwei angrily called out Xiao Jinyan by name: "Xiao Jinyan, you are clearly here to rob me!"

Chunxi was so frightened that she quickly covered Shen Chuwei's pink and tender little mouth, "My lady, you cannot address His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his name, or you will be punished for disrespect."

Shen Chuwei pulled Chunxi's hand down, feeling a little aggrieved, "I only ate one strawberry, he should at least leave two for me!"

"My lady, this is a good thing. When the prince is happy, Sheng Chong will come, right?" Chunxi began to imagine a bright future.

“…It would be better to eat a few more strawberries.”

Competing for favor with a bunch of women?

If you have that much time, you might as well eat a few more strawberries to satisfy your craving and fill your stomach.

After leaving Xiyun Pavilion, Xiao Jinyan asked Lu Zhaoyan: "Have you figured out what the problem is?"

"Your Highness, appearance is determined by the heart. Shen Fengyi has a face that shows wealth and will bring prosperity to her husband."

Xiao Jinyan sneered: "She brings good luck to her husband? I don't see that."

Lu Zhaoyan said: "Your Highness, I also saw from the face that it was not an exaggeration."

Xiao Jinyan didn't want to dwell on the matter of a lucky husband anymore, "Then why didn't my mind-reading skills work on her?"

Lu Zhaoyan thought for a moment and said, "Shen Fengyi was reborn after drowning, so your highness's mind-reading skills failed."

This means that Shen Fengyi is no longer the same Shen Fengyi as before.

Resurrection from the dead?

"Then what can you do?" Xiao Jinyan couldn't wait to know what Shen Chuwei was thinking? Who was she? What was her purpose?

Lu Zhaoyan asked, "Your Highness, are you worried that someone did this on purpose?"

Xiao Jinyan reminded, "Have you forgotten Chen Liangyuan?"

When talking about Chen Liangyuan, Lu Zhaoyan was worried about Xiao Jinyan.

If Xiao Jinyan didn't have the ability to read minds, he wouldn't have known that such a talented, gentle, and peaceful woman was actually a spy planted by the Third Prince, and she almost caused him to fail in his bid to become the Crown Prince.

Lu Zhaoyan said: "Your Highness, we need Shen Fengyi's birth date and eight characters to make the talisman water."

Xiao Jinyan nodded thoughtfully, "Isn't it just the date of birth? This is easy."

He looked at the strawberries in his hand, thinking of Shen Chuwei's happy look when she ate strawberries. He picked up one with his slender fingers and brought it to his mouth and took a bite. It was fresh and juicy, sweet with a hint of sourness, and tasted good.

Eunuch Liu has been with the Crown Prince since he was a child, but this is the first time he has seen the Crown Prince "steal" food from a woman.

*

Xiao Jinyan did not lie to her. The kitchen really sent her two kilograms of beef and two kilograms of mutton, both of which were very fresh.

Shen Chuwei happily took out the soup pot, butter hot pot base, and sauce from the space.

Take a kitchen knife and slice the meat yourself.

Chunxi went to the yard to pick some vegetables and washed them, including lettuce, enoki mushrooms, spinach, etc.

In the soup pot, hot soup is boiling.

Shen Chuwei picked up the beef with chopsticks and dipped it in sesame sauce. She brought it to her mouth, blew on it twice, and then couldn't wait to put it into her mouth and eat it.

“So hot and so good.”

It was Chunxi's first time eating hot pot, and it was so spicy that she wiped her nose with her handkerchief, "My lady, how can there be such delicious food in this world?"

Shen Chuwei said proudly while eating: "What's this? Next time we can grill meat or fish."

Shen Chuwei began to figure out how to get Xiao Jinyan to ask the kitchen to send some more beef, mutton, chicken and fish.

Chunxi has begun to look forward to it.
