Chapter 39: I have a hidden illness (3100+ words, equivalent to three chapters)
Shen Chuwei lowered her eyelids guiltily, and looked around until her eyes finally fell on a hand. The hand was spotless, clean and beautiful. The hand she had just grabbed should be this one. The man was handsome and had beautiful hands.
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and watched Shen Chuwei's actions. Her delicate body was pressed against the wall, and her arms were holding a pillow embroidered with a cat. Her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, just like its owner was nervous at the moment.
Shen Chuwei secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Jinyan. It would have been better if she didn't look at him. But when she looked at him, she found that he was still staring at her. It's not like she had seen him before, so what was there to see?
Who could stand being stared at like that?
Xiao Jinyan moved a bit, and Shen Chu also moved a bit nervously, and her hands consciously grabbed the beautiful big hand in front of her. Compared with her hand, it was really big~
She looked at Xiao Jinyan with clear eyes, "Brother, don't you want to sleep?"
Xiao Jinyan glanced at the hand that was holding his. It was slender, white, and pressed against his palm. The temperature seemed to have risen several degrees in an instant.
The cold eyes met those eager eyes. Does she want to sleep with me?
Shen Chuwei was extremely nervous. What did his eyes mean? Could it be that he could no longer control his male nature?
Yes, it's a problem if you don't have any thoughts in that direction when you have a woman sleeping with you.
Isn't it very dangerous now?
Xiao Jinyan was tired and didn't have the energy to think about that, so he tried to pull his hand back. As soon as he moved, Shen Chuwei grabbed it tightly, "Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan asked knowingly, "What's the matter?"
Shen Chuwei searched her brain and finally found a reason, "Your Highness, I have suffered from a hidden illness since I was a child."
Hsiao asked, "What is the hidden disease? Is it serious?"
Look, look, as soon as I heard that she had a hidden illness, I got anxious and couldn't do anything to her.
"It's a bit serious. I can't do strenuous exercise with this hidden disease."
Her hint was very obvious, Xiao Jinyan should have understood it, right?
Xiao Jinyan thought of the last time she was picking lotus flowers by the lotus pond, and said, "In that case, you should be more careful and not jump around so much that you may trigger a hidden disease."
Shen Chu was stunned and stared at Xiao Jinyan for a while. Did he understand or not?
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I will pay attention to it."
Xiao Jinyan glanced at the hand that was still holding his and said, "Let go of my hand."
"Okay." Shen Chuwei withdrew his hand.
"Go to sleep." Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze, lay down flat, covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes.
Shen Chuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Jinyan understood, otherwise she would have been in danger tonight.
Shen Chuwei was always woken up by hunger, and this time was no exception. She rubbed her eyes and saw a handsome face. She was stunned for a moment.
She must not have woken up yet.
She closed her eyes again and opened them again. The handsome face did not disappear, but was even clearer than before.
The difference was that he had his eyes closed just now, but this time he had his eyes open and was staring at her.
We were clearly very far away last night, how come we were so close when I woke up?
If there wasn't a cat pillow blocking the way, she might have woken up in Xiao Jinyan's arms.
She greeted awkwardly, "Good morning, Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan frowned, "What time is it?"
Shen Chu shook her head. She had just woken up, so how could she know what time it was?
Xiao Jinyan threw back the quilt and stood up. Looking out the window, he saw that it was already bright outside and knew that it was getting late.
He always has the habit of getting up early, but today he overslept.
"Help me change my clothes."
Shen Chuwei got off the bed swiftly, picked up the clothes on the hanger and helped Xiao Jinyan put them on.
Getting dressed is much more troublesome than getting undressed.
Shen Chuwei thought Xiao Jinyan had something urgent to deal with, and was in a panic for a while.
Xiao Jinyan opened his arms and looked down at Shen Chuwei as she fastened her belt. When he picked up the belt and put it on him, he pressed his whole body against his...
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but this belt has been tied for a long time~
Shen Chuwei was not used to this ancient belt. She tried to fasten it for a long time but failed. She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
"I'll do it myself."
"Your Highness, it will be ready soon."
After a while, Shen Chu breathed a sigh of relief and finally fastened it.
After Xiao Jinyan got dressed, he walked out from behind the screen and opened the door. Eunuch Liu was waiting outside the door with water for washing his face. When he saw the door open, he walked in.
Chunxi also followed him in, came behind the screen, and helped Shen Chuwei put on her clothes.
Then go out to wash up.
Shen Chuwei's washing is simple, just rinsing her mouth and washing her face.
"Chunxi, I'm hungry."
Chunxi reminded quietly, "My lady, why don't you ask His Highness if he wants to eat here?"
Shen Chuwei thought Xiao Jinyan had left, and if he hadn't, she would have definitely asked.
She walked out from behind the screen and saw Xiao Jinyan sitting at the table drinking tea. She walked forward and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to have breakfast before leaving?"
Xiao Jinyan didn't eat anything yesterday, so he was already hungry, so he nodded, "Yeah."
When Chunxi saw this, he quickly walked out and brought the breakfast to the table.
Shen Chuwei stood aside, waiting for Xiao Jinyan to speak before sitting down.
Xiao Jinyan looked at the breakfast in front of him, which was a bowl of glutinous rice balls. He picked up one with a spoon, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. There were sesame seeds inside, which was sweet but not greasy.
Shen Chuwei picked up the fried dough stick and put it into her mouth and took a bite. The fried dough stick was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and very chewy.
Xiao Jinyan ate two glutinous rice balls and saw Shen Chuwei eating a long golden snack with gusto. He asked in confusion, "What are you eating?"
Shen Chuwei's mouth was filled with fried dough sticks, and she spoke incoherently, "Your Highness, this is fried dough sticks, do you want to try it?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Yeah."
Normally it was Eunuch Liu who served the prince, but today he stood still on purpose, just to give this opportunity to Shen Chuwei. After all, all the women in the East Palace were scrambling for this job to please His Highness.
Shen Chuwei was enjoying her meal when she noticed Xiao Jinyan was waiting for someone to serve him food. She looked at Eunuch Liu in confusion. Eunuch Liu smiled at her and said, "Look how good I am to you. I'm giving you such a good opportunity."
Eunuch Liu, why are you grinning at me instead of serving the prince breakfast?
After waiting for a while and seeing that Eunuch Liu had no intention of taking action, Shen Chuwei had no choice but to put down the fried dough stick in her hand, stood up, picked up a fried dough stick, carefully tore it apart, cut it into small pieces with a knife and put them on the plate in front of Xiao Jinyan.
"Your Highness, you can eat now."
Xiao Jinyan picked up the chopsticks, picked up one and put it into his mouth. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tasted good.
Shen Chuwei picked up the half-eaten fried dough stick and continued eating it. She used a spoon in her right hand to scoop up the glutinous rice balls and eat them. Anyway, her mouth was never idle.
Xiao Jinyan left Xiyun Pavilion after breakfast.
Shen Chuwei stood up to see them off respectfully. After the people left, he sat down and continued eating.
Chunxi waited for his master to put down his bowl and chopsticks, then came over to clean up.
Shen Chuwei had been salting fish for half a month, and during this half month, Xiao Jinyan occasionally came to stay overnight and ate with her every few days.
Shen Chuwei could only greet him with a smile. Fortunately, Xiao Jinyan knew that she had a hidden illness and could not do strenuous exercise, so he did not attack her.
Shen Chuwei lay on the couch after having a full meal, and saw Chunxi lying on the couch with a curious look on his face, staring at his stomach.
"Have I lost weight?"
"My lady, you have been in bed with me for several times, why is there no movement at all?" Chunxi looked worried, "If there is a baby, you can be promoted to a higher position."
Chunxi, there was once an opportunity for promotion in front of your master, but your master did not cherish it~
Shen Chuwei said perfunctorily: "Maybe the time has not come yet!"
Chunxi immediately comforted her again: "My lady, don't worry or feel sad. His Highness will love you, and it will happen sooner or later."
Shen Chuwei: āā¦ā Iām neither anxious nor sad.
When Shen Chuwei woke up, Chunxi came in to report.
"My lady, Dongmei from Xinlan Palace sent an invitation. Tomorrow is Chang Liangdi's birthday. She invites ladies from all palaces to attend the birthday banquet. I heard that His Highness specially prepared a buffet banquet to celebrate Chang Liangdi's birthday."
Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up when she heard Liu Shui Yan, "What time tomorrow?"
Chunxi: "It's the hour of You."
Shen Chuwei couldn't wait to eat the buffet. "I'll make less breakfast tomorrow morning. I want to save some space for the buffet."
Chunxi looked worried, "My lady, His Highness hasn't come for a few days. Chang Liangdi has been running around very hard these days, so I'm afraid it will be too late for him to sleep with her."
Shen Chuwei thought, Chang Liangdi is the one in Xiao Jinyan's heart. If she doesn't show her love by celebrating her birthday, why is she waiting for the New Year?
Having said that, if Xiao Jinyan and Chang Liangdi were to get together naturally, then there would be nothing for her to do.
Xiao Jinyan probably doesn't need to come here to deliberately anger Chang Liangdi and make her jealous.
On Chang Liangdi's birthday
Shen Chuwei dressed up with Chunxi's help. Before leaving, Chunxi asked, "My lady, what birthday gift are you going to prepare for Chang Liangdi?"
Shen Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "Didn't His Highness give me a pair of bracelets? Let's go with that one."
"I'll go get it." Chunxi turned and went to the storeroom. When she came out, she had an exquisite and beautiful brocade box in her hand.
After packing up, he set off for Xinlan Palace.
When they arrived at Xinlan Hall, the other sisters had already arrived.
Chang Liangdi sat on the right side, and the rest of the seats were arranged according to their status.
Shen Chuwei stepped forward and bowed, then took the exquisite brocade box from Chunxi's hand and handed it to Chang Liangdi, "Happy birthday, Sister Chang."
Chang Liangdi smiled faintly, "Thank you for the gift, sister."
Dongmei stepped forward, took the gift box and stepped aside.
Shen Chuwei found an empty seat and sat down, looking at the tea and fruit in front of her, picked up a grape and put it into her mouth.
Xu Chenghui looked back a few times and saw that His Highness had not arrived yet. He asked curiously, "Sister Chang, when will His Highness arrive?"
Chang Liang Di said calmly: "Your Highness has been very busy with official duties these days. He must have been delayed by something important."
"Your Highness is so busy with official duties that he only remembers Sister Chang's birthday, but I'm afraid you don't remember any of the other sisters' birthdays."
After Li Liangyuan finished speaking, she turned to look at Shen Fengyi and asked with a smile, "Sister Shen is the most favored during this period. Does His Highness remember your birthday?"
Shen Chuwei had just delivered a grape and couldn't speak, so he could only shake his head.
"It seems that His Highness really cares about Sister Chang. I wonder what birthday gift His Highness has prepared for Sister Chang?"
"Your Highness dotes on Sister Chang so much, the gift he prepared must be something we have never seen before."
"You'll know when His Highness comes."
Xu Liangyuan listened to a group of people fawning on Chang Liangdi. She raised her handkerchief with disdain flashing in her eyes.
"Today is Sister Chang's birthday. I'm afraid Your Highness won't be able to visit Sister Shen tonight." She raised her voice deliberately, fearing that the people present couldn't hear her.
