Chapter 30 His Highness's arrival is a coincidence
"And..." Lu Zhaoyan stared at the lines and shook his head: "It's a little blurry, why don't you let me take a look at it later, Shen Fengyi?"
"Okay." Shen Chuwei was just curious at first, but it was not obvious now. She had no grudges and decided to just accept it as it came.
Lu Zhaoyan soothed, "But Shen Fengyi can rest assured. With His Highness here, Shen Fengyi can have no worries about food and clothing."
Shen Chuwei didn't care at first, but after hearing what Lu Zhaoyan said, she started to care again, "Without him, can I not have a worry-free life?"
Lu Zhaoyan smiled, "Shen Fengyi is good at joking. Shen Fengyi and His Highness are one. If His Highness is not there, can Shen Fengyi still be safe and sound?"
Only then did Shen Chuwei remember that she and Xiao Jinyan were grasshoppers on the same rope. If anything happened to Xiao Jinyan, she would also be in trouble.
She still remembers the story of Kowloon seizing the throne.
Xiao Jinyan is the prince. How many eyes are watching him, openly and secretly?
So, it is very difficult for her to eat and drink until she is 25 years old.
"What Lord Lu said makes sense."
"Then I'll take my leave." Lu Zhaoyan took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.
Shen Chuwei prayed in her heart, hoping that Xiao Jinyan would not be harmed by evil people and would be able to keep this position securely.
The news that Xiao Jinyan brought Chang Liangdi and Shen Fengyi to attend the welcoming banquet today quickly spread throughout the East Palace, and the ladies in each palace were dissatisfied.
Shen Mingzhu offended the empress and was demoted. She has not left the house during this period. Firstly, she lost face and secondly, she did not want to hear the ridicule.
I heard early in the morning that His Highness brought Shen Fengyi to the welcoming banquet and he was very angry.
Qiu Ju advised: "My lady, be careful not to get too angry."
Shen Mingzhu was regretting so much that her intestines turned green. She should not have brought Shen Chuwei into the palace, otherwise she would have no chance to compete with her for favor.
When Tao Chenghui heard today that His Highness was bringing Shen Fengyi to attend the welcoming banquet, he immediately packed up and planned to visit Xiyun Pavilion.
Halfway through the journey, they met Xu Chenghui and Feng Liangyuan, and the three sisters greeted each other with a smile.
"Where are you two sisters planning to go?" Tao Chenghui asked.
"Let's go sit with Sister Chang. Where's my sister?" Xu Chenghui thought about the last time he lost his temper. Otherwise, he would be as lucky as Tao Chenghui, not only being able to see His Highness but also having dinner with him.
It's too late to regret now, I can only say that I regret it!
Tao Chenghui was planning to go to Xiyun Pavilion, but when he saw that they were all going to Xinlan Palace, he changed his mind, "I just happen to want to go see Sister Chang, so how about we go together?"
The three of them went to Xinlan Palace chatting and laughing to pay their respects to Chang Liangdi.
Chang Liangdi invited them to sit down and have tea and snacks.
Feng Liangyuan started to flatter him as soon as she came up: "Sister Chang, I envy you so much that I can go to the welcoming banquet with His Highness."
Xu Chenghui also agreed: "I am jealous too."
Tao Chenghui asked curiously, "Sister Chang, I heard that Shen Fengyi also went there. Is that true?"
Dongmei snorted, "Shen Fengyi did go, but he almost dragged down Your Highness because of his favor. The Empress was furious."
Dongmei used the good ointment and can now walk around.
It was because Shen Fengyi caused her to be beaten, and she was also angry towards her master.
Chang Liangdi sipped her tea and shouted angrily, "Dongmei, who allowed you to talk so much?"
Dongmei lowered her eyes and said, "I know I was wrong."
"How can Shen Fengyi be half as noble as Sister Chang?"
Xu Chenghui continued Feng Liangyuan's words and said, "Sister Chang is the future Crown Princess. Shen Fengyi's petty family is naturally no match for her."
Tao Chenghui suddenly asked, "Sister Chang, Shen Fengyi is so ridiculous, is His Highness very angry?"
Feng Liangyuan said, "Sister Tao, you are stupid. Shen Fengyi is so arrogant because of his favor. His Highness must be angry."
Tao Chenghui nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that His Highness is going to ignore Shen Fengyi."
Feng Liangyuan took a sip of tea and said, "It was Shen Fengyi who did it himself."
Chang Liangdi lowered her head and drank tea in silence. His Highness was not only not angry but also wanted to promote Shen Fengyi to a higher position. Fortunately, the Queen stopped him, otherwise the whole East Palace would have laughed at her.
Xiyun Pavilion
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Shen Chuwei woke up from her nap, and a processed sheep was delivered from the kitchen.
When Xiao Jinyan agreed to send the sheep, Shen Chuwei and Chunxi had already set up the grill.
Chunxi learned a lot of modern cooking skills from Shen Chuwei, and he was quite good at roasting lamb. He first washed the lamb clean, then marinated it for more than half an hour, and then roasted it.
Shen Chuwei sat aside, cracking melon seeds and staring at the lamb, and seemed to be impatient to eat the roasted lamb.
Roasting a whole lamb takes much more time than roasting a pigeon.
Shen Chuwei went to the back to pick some lettuce and garlic, washed them, then mashed the garlic and put them in a dish, and took out the hot sauce from the space and poured it into the dish.
After everything was ready, she carried it to the yard and placed the ingredients and sauces on the low table one by one.
At this time, the lamb has been roasted until both sides are golden brown, and you can smell the aroma of lamb.
"Chunxi, it's done."
Chunxi was not a greedy person. When he smelled the aroma of roasted lamb, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He moved the charcoal fire underneath to the side, let the roasted lamb cool down, and then sliced it.
Xiao Jinyan smelled the fragrance before he stepped into Xiyun Pavilion. He walked in and saw the grill in the yard. Shen Chuwei was sitting beside it, staring at the roasted whole lamb.
Shen Chuwei stared at the roasted whole lamb, wishing she could take a fan to cool it down. Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a figure suddenly appear on the ground. The figure was very long.
She turned around and saw Xiao Jinyan walking slowly towards her. She quickly stood up from the stool and walked forward to bow, "Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan looked at the grill that had already been set up, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "It seems that I came at the right time."
Shen Chuwei is no longer as scared of Xiao Jinyan as she was before, because after spending a few times with him, she found that he is still easy to get along with.
"Your Highness has come at the right time. The lamb has just been roasted."
"Let's sit together." Xiao Jinyan glanced at the small stool and without complaining, he lifted his skirt and sat down.
Shen Chuwei lifted her skirt and sat down on a small stool, next to Xiao Jinyan.
Chunxi felt that it was not so hot anymore, so she put on gloves, took the knife and cut the mutton slices into a plate.
Shen Chuwei licked her lips as she looked at the sliced mutton: "Your Highness, I will make you a lettuce and mutton roll."
It was the first time that Xiao Jinyan heard about lettuce and lamb rolls. She was a little curious and a little expectant. "Okay, I'll be waiting."
Shen Chuwei put on a pair of disposable gloves, then picked up a piece of lettuce and put it in the palm of her hand, then picked up a very large and thin piece of mutton and put it on the lettuce, then picked up a spoon and added some minced garlic on the mutton, spread some hot sauce on it, and then slowly rolled it up.
She smiled and handed the mutton roll to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, you can eat it now."
When Eunuch Liu saw Shen Fengyi applying hot sauce, he really couldn't help but want to remind him that His Highness doesn't eat spicy food, but he saw that His Highness clearly saw it but didn't bring it up.
He had no choice but to prepare warm water silently.
Xiao Jinyan stared at the lettuce and lamb roll in front of him for a while, then looked at Shen Chuwei in confusion, "Are you sure this dish can be eaten raw?"
