Chapter 314 I wrote a letter to His Highness in person and was very happy to receive a reply from my husband
This is not the first time Qin Xiao has come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to deliver food.
Before leaving, His Highness instructed Qin Xiao to buy some tea, snacks, candied haws and other snacks and send them to Xiaoxiang Pavilion every now and then.
Chunxi changed the subject, "What did you buy this time?"
Qin Xiao held up the package in his hand and said, "I bought some tea cakes. There is a new shop that has opened recently. I bought some cakes. I wonder if Shen Liangdi likes them?"
Chunxi took it and took a look at it, "You will know after you try it, young lady."
Qin Xiao took out another small package from his pocket and handed it to Chunxi, "And this."
Chunxi looked at Qin Xiao's broad palm and saw a wooden box. She looked at Qin Xiao in confusion, "What is this?"
Qin Xiao took Chunxi's hand, put the wooden box in her palm and said, "This is for you. Take it as an apology."
Having said that, he turned around and strode away.
Chunxi watched Qin Xiao's back disappear at the door. She curiously opened the wooden box and saw a silver hairpin inlaid with pink beads in the box, which looked a bit like a crabapple flower.
This was the first time Chunxi received a hairpin from a man, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Shen Chuwei was just savoring a delicious meal when she saw Chunxi coming over with bags. She knew that Qin Xiao was here to buy some delicious food again.
While waiting for Chunxi to open the food and put it on the table, she came over impatiently. When she saw the cake, she picked up a piece without hesitation and put it into her mouth and took a bite. The crust was crispy and soft, and it tasted very fragrant. In one word, it was delicious.
After eating two pieces in a row, Shen Chuwei noticed that Chunxi was looking worried, so she picked up a piece of cake and passed it to him, "Chunxi, try it too, it's delicious."
Chunxi took the cake, put it into his mouth and took a bite. It was indeed delicious.
The line of sight is still fixed on the hairpin in the hand.
After eating and drinking, Shen Chuwei lay on the rattan chair and began to think about Xiao Jinyan. This time she really thought about him.
He doesn't know yet that he is going to be a father.
I wonder what kind of expression would appear on that handsome face, as cold as the snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain, when he found out that he was going to be a father?
Will she show an excited expression like an ordinary man?
Shen Chuwei was somewhat expectant. She turned her head and looked at Chunxi, "When do you think His Highness will be back?"
Chunxi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either. If it's fast, it will take three to six months. If it's slow, it may take longer."
Shen Chuwei suddenly thought of the plot of a TV series, where the father returned from the war only after the child was born.
Sometimes, the children come back only after they can walk.
She lay on the rattan chair and suddenly felt a little worried.
Chunxi saw Shen Chuwei lying on the rattan chair, thinking that she was sleepy again, so she continued reading the prenatal education book.
Shen Chuwei suddenly raised her head, "Chunxi, the watermelons in Xiyun Pavilion should be ripe, right?"
Watermelons have been planted a long time ago, specifically to provide heat relief in the hot summer.
Chunxi was stunned for a moment. She really often couldn't keep up with the young lady's pace.
I was just thinking about His Highness and feeling sleepy... why did I suddenly think of watermelon?
Shen Chuwei climbed up from the rattan chair nimbly.
Seeing this, Chunxi no longer cared about the prenatal education book and stepped forward to stop her, "My lady, please sit down. I will let Xiao Guizi take a look."
"How can you tell, little Guizi, whether the watermelon is ripe?" Shen Chuwei ignored Chunxi's obstruction and shouted to the little rabbit who was pulling weeds, "Get down, rabbit, bring the ladder over here."
The little rabbit put down the grass in his hand and ran over quickly, "My dear, what do you need a ladder for?"
Shen Chuwei said, "I'll go to Xiyun Pavilion to see if the watermelons are ripe."
The little rabbit heard this and said, "I'll go take a look. My dear, just sit down and wait for the news."
Shen Chuwei asked: "Can you tell with your naked eyes that a watermelon is ripe?"
The little rabbit shook his head, "I don't know."
Shen Chuwei chuckled, "I can tell."
"Then the young master cannot climb the ladder. If something happens, even if I have a hundred heads, it will not be enough to chop off." After the little rabbit said this, he brought the ladder and climbed up himself. In order to prevent Shen Chuwei from climbing the ladder, he pulled the ladder over.
Shen Chuwei: "..." Isn't it just climbing a ladder? Why does it look like you're trying to protect yourself from thieves?
About a cup of tea later, Shen Chuwei watched the little rabbit climb up, holding a watermelon in its arms, then put the ladder down, and then climbed down by itself.
The little rabbit ran over happily and took out the watermelon in his arms and showed it to Shen Chuwei, "My lady, this watermelon is ripe."
The watermelon has been cut. Judging from its color, it is not only ripe but also fresh and crisp.
Shen Chuwei brought over half a watermelon and asked curiously, "How did you know? And you picked it so well."
The little rabbit explained, "I took the knife and cut the big ones. After cutting several, I found this one is cooked. My dear, please eat it."
The smile on Shen Chuwei's lips gradually disappeared. "Did you pick her out like this?"
The little rabbit nodded, "Yes, it took me a while to come up with this idea."
Shen Chuwei felt so painful, "Several melons have been destroyed just like this!"
The little rabbit was stunned.
Shen Chuwei turned his head and looked at Chunxi, "Give me a spoon."
Chunxi was stunned for a while, then turned around to get the spoon.
Shen Chuwei had eaten half of it, and Chunxi stopped her from eating it, "My lady, it's better to eat less watermelon when you're pregnant, it's cold in nature."
Shen Chu looked at Chunxi with a squinting eye and took away the remaining half of the watermelon.
When Chunxi came back, Shen Chuwei said, "I miss your highness..."
Before Shen Chuwei finished speaking, Chunxi guessed what the young lady wanted to say, "Young lady, His Highness will not tolerate you eating anything you want when he returns."
Shen Chuwei was a little embarrassed. She snorted, "Your Highness is not like you. You are not allowed to eat this or that."
She lay on the rattan chair and sighed, "I miss your highness."
Chunxi shook her head helplessly. What could she say about a foodie? Of course, for the sake of the baby, she was determined not to let the little master eat too much cold fruit.
At night, Shen Chuwei lay on the bed, and what she thought about most was telling Xiao Jinyan the news of her pregnancy.
In ancient times, people could only write letters.
Shen Chuwei sat up, took out paper and pen from the space, and began to write a letter while lying on the coffee table.
This is the first time I write a letter. After much thought, I wrote this paragraph.
Dear Your Highness: Are you doing well over there? (10,000 words of missing you omitted)
Congratulations, Your Highness, on becoming a father!
I drew this with my own hand, with a super sweet smile.
After finishing writing, Shen Chu folded the letter and put it in the envelope, then went to sleep with peace of mind.
The next morning, Shen Chuwei asked Qin Xiao to call her over, and then gave the letter to Qin Xiao, who then sent someone to deliver it to Xiao Jinyan.
"Don't worry, Di Shen. I promise to hand it over to Your Highness." Qin Xiao made the promise and strode away.
In the afternoon, Qin Xiao came again.
Shen Chuwei asked doubtfully: "Hasn't the letter been sent yet?"
"I sent it out a long time ago. There's a letter from His Highness." Qin Xiao said as he took out the envelope and handed it to Shen Chuwei.
"Your Highness, are you here to report that you are safe?" Shen Chuwei happily took the letter from Qin Xiao.
