Chapter 37: Unable to Lose Face

But Xu Liangyuan was naturally arrogant, and after saying such things just now, she wanted to try it, but couldn't bring herself to do it.

Shen Fengyi didn't even take the initiative to be polite. She couldn't even get off the stairs and could only sulk alone.

Tao Chenghui glanced at Xu Yuanyuan's puffy cheeks, held back his laughter and continued eating melon seeds.

Tao Chenghui ate some melon seeds for a while, clapped his hands, took a brocade box from Dingxiang's hand, placed it in front of Shen Chuwei, opened it, and said warmly: "Sister Shen, I think your hair is too plain, so I want to give you a set of hairpins."

Xu Liangyuan looked over curiously and saw a set of peach blossom hairpins in the brocade box. The appearance and design were very beautiful.

"Sister Tao is really generous." But he snorted in his heart, really trying to curry favor with Shen Chuwei.

Tao Chenghui replied humbly, "Sister Xu is too modest. Sister Xu's clothes are all very beautiful, and my sisters can't compare to her. This set of hairpins is also a gift from me. I hope Sister Shen doesn't mind throwing it away."

Xu Liangyuan was also a connoisseur of goods. She recognized at a glance that this set of peach blossom hairpins was made by a famous craftsman. Who would refuse such an expensive gift?

Shen Chuwei had no interest in jewelry or hairpins, but when she saw the set of peach blossom hairpins, her eyes lit up. Wasn't this the same set she saw in the museum?

It's really worth the money!

She accepted it with a smile, "Thank you for the gift, Sister Tao."

Tao Chenghui: "As long as my sister likes it."

Xu Liangyuan also brought a gift, but when she saw that Tao Chenghui gave such an expensive gift, she felt a little embarrassed. If others knew that what she gave was worse than Tao Chenghui's, wouldn't she be so embarrassed?

But it would be a bit awkward to just sit there without a gift.

Shen Chuwei kept staring at the fire, calculating that the sweet potatoes should be cooked by now, so she reminded him, "Chunxi, they should be cooked by now."

"My lady, I'll take it out right away." Chunxi knew her master too well. She was probably so greedy that she couldn't wait any longer.

Chunxi moved the fire away, dug up the sand, and took out the sweet potatoes.

Tao Chenghui and Xu Liangyuan were both rich ladies, and they had never even seen sweet potatoes, let alone eaten them.

They stared at Chunxi's actions curiously and saw her take out five silver objects with a look of curiosity.

Tao Chenghui stared at the silvery thing and asked curiously, "Sister Shen, is this a sweet potato? Why isn't it red?"

Shen Chuwei replied: "Of course it is red, you will know when you see it later."

Chunxi took out the sweet potatoes, then opened the tin foil one by one and took out the sweet potatoes to cool.

When Tao Chenghui saw it, he laughed, "Sister Shen, it's really red."

Shen Chuwei waited for a while, then couldn't wait to pick one up with her bare hands, blew on it, and started peeling it.

Xu Liangyuan looked disgusted. How could you eat food that was placed on the ground? She really was from the countryside, not particular at all.

The smell of roasted sweet potatoes spread, and Tao Chenghui was a little greedy when he smelled it, "Sister Shen, do you mind if I eat one?"

Although Shen Chuwei is protective of her food, she will be a little more generous when there are plenty of sweet potatoes.

"No problem."

"Then I won't be polite." Tao Chenghui stopped cracking melon seeds and picked up a roasted sweet potato from the ground. She peeled the skin like Shen Chuwei did. The rich aroma of roasted sweet potato filled her face. She blew on it and took a bite.

“It tastes good.”

Shen Chuwei was eating roasted sweet potatoes. Of course they tasted good, otherwise would she waste a piece of land growing sweet potatoes?

Xu Liangyuan watched them pick up the sweet potatoes from the ground and start to peel and eat them directly. The fragrance wafted over and she also wanted to taste the sweet potatoes, but she was too embarrassed to ask for them like Tao Chenghui did.

Tao Chenghui's father is a businessman. He is very sociable and a bit outgoing, so there is no problem of losing face. It just depends on whether she wants to do it or not.

From the moment she planted the sweet potatoes, Shen Chuwei began thinking about when she could eat them. Now that she could finally eat them, she ate two in a row and touched her stomach with satisfaction.

Xu Liangyuan looked at Shen Chuwei's behavior, which was not elegant at all. Then she looked at Tao Chenghui who was eating his second roasted sweet potato. Was it really that delicious?

She looked at the ground and saw that there was another one. She hesitated for a long time and wanted to pick it up and eat it directly, but before she stretched out her hand, she saw Chunxi picked it up, peeled it and started eating it directly.

He immediately felt unhappy, "Chunxi, why are you eating the master's food without the master's order?"

Chunxi eats sweet potatoes in one go.

Shen Chu glanced at Xu Liangyuan and said quietly, "In Xiyun Pavilion, Chunxi can eat whatever he wants."

Xu Liangyuan said, "Sister Shen, I'm not saying anything bad, but no matter how much you pamper me, you can't lose your manners."

Shen Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm happy to do so."

Xu Liangyuan looked unhappy. "I'm tired, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, he left Xiyun Pavilion angrily.

It was not until she came out of Xiyun Pavilion that she remembered the purpose of coming to Xiyun Pavilion, but she forgot it because of the melon seeds and sweet potatoes.

I could only hold my anger and return to Yixiang Palace.

After Tao Chenghui had eaten and drunk his fill, he left Xiyun Pavilion.

Shen Chuwei lay on the couch like a salted fish, too lazy to even turn over.

Chunxi came over with a smile, and leaned on the couch with her hands to look at Shen Chuwei, "My lady, I will go and ask His Highness if he wants to come to Xiyun Pavilion for dinner tonight, okay?"

Shen Chuwei refused directly, "Don't go."

Chunxi looked puzzled: "Why, young lady? Aren't you and His Highness very close now?"

"His presence not only affects my speed of cooking, but also my sleeping posture."

As soon as Xiao Jinyan comes, she has to sleep against the wall. How depressing!

"My dear, you ate a lot when His Highness was here. Besides,"

Chunxi blushed and said, "If I want to have a baby, this posture will definitely have some impact."

Shen Chuwei looked at Chunxi with a sly smile, "You know a lot."

Chunxi said seriously: "My lady, I am talking about serious matters."

No matter how Chunxi persuaded her, Shen Chuwei refused to let her ask.

She couldn't refuse Xiao Jinyan when he came, so couldn't she refuse the one who came to her door?

Chunxi was not moved by her persuasion, so she had to ask, "My lady, what would you like to eat for dinner?"

Shen Chuwei crossed his legs and thought for a while, "Sesame dumplings."

"Okay, I'll go make sesame dumplings right away." Chunxi got up to make dinner.

The hot glutinous rice balls were served on the table. Shen Chuwei ate them with great pleasure. Then she lay on the couch, eating beef jerky while looking at the scenery outside the window. She felt quite daydreamy.

When Chunxi was sorting out her wardrobe, she saw the piece of Sichuan brocade and said, "My lady, this is the Sichuan brocade that Xu Chenghui gave me. Can I take it and make you a dress tomorrow?"

Shen Chu looked over lazily and saw that the piece of Sichuan brocade was light in color and very suitable for making pajamas.

"Okay, I'll draw you a picture and you'll make me two sets of pajamas."

"Okay." Chunxi packed up and went to prepare hot water.

Shen Chuwei loves taking hot baths the most. But last night, because Xiao Jinyan was there, she didn’t dare to take one, for fear that she would keep the Crown Prince waiting for too long and get angry.

After the hot water was ready, Shen Chuwei took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. The warm water wrapped around her body, which could eliminate the day's fatigue.

She eats and sleeps all day long, and she is quite tired~

As soon as Chunxi came out, she saw the Crown Prince walking in from outside. She was delighted and the probability of the young lady being pregnant increased.
