Chapter 401 Do you know what it means to call me Brother Jinyan?

Shen Chuwei shook her head guiltily, "No one said anything to me."

Xiao Jinyan frowned, feeling that Xiaojiu was hiding something from him.

"Then why do you suddenly ask me this question?"

Shen Chuwei lowered her head to look at the snowball in her arms. Just as she was struggling with confusion, Liu Xi walked in with his head bent.

"Your Highness, Lord Lu requests an audience."

Xiao Jinyan nodded and looked at Shen Chuwei, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. "I'm going to take care of something first and come back later."

Shen Chuwei nodded.

Xiao Jinyan stood up, glanced at Shen Chuwei, and then left.

Not until Xiao Jinyan's figure disappeared at the door did Shen Chuwei retract her gaze, and looked down at the snowball in her arms. Thinking of the portraits and jade in the secret compartment, her delicate brows wrinkled into a knot.

She rubbed Xuetuan’s furry head and asked, “Who is Feng Wuyou?”

Xuetuan raised his head, stared at Shen Chuwei with his deep blue eyes without blinking, and plucked her hand twice with his little paws.

Shen Chuwei saw Xuetuan tickling her and thought that Xuetuan's paws were itchy. She grabbed Xuetuan's paws and saw the pink and tender pads of flesh hidden in the snow-white fur.

"Xuetuan, your paw pads are so pink and tender."

"Meow." Xuetuan placed his other paw on Shen Chuwei's right hand and patted it a few times, looking anxious.

Shen Chuwei looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

She took the ham sausage out of the space and tore open the package.

Xuetuan's originally impatient expression changed when he saw the sausage. His eyes lit up green and he opened his mouth and bit the sausage and started eating.

"Crown Princess."

Concubine Xu walked in happily, swinging her handkerchief.

Shen Chuwei saw Concubine Xu coming and asked her if she knew Feng Wuyou.

Concubine Xu sat down on the couch and glanced at the small bed. "The kids are all asleep."

"Well, I fell asleep right after I came back from Ci Ning Palace." Shen Chuwei approached her curiously and asked her mysteriously, "Do you know who Feng Wuyou is?"

Concubine Xu was stunned for a while when she heard this, because the person the man in black was looking for was Feng Wuyou, whose nickname was Xiaojiu.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I'm just curious about who this person is. Do you know?" Shen Chu looked at Xu Cefei expectantly, hoping to know about Feng Wuyou from her.

Concubine Xu was in a dilemma. Although she and Shen Chuwei were good sisters, the man in black forbade her to tell anyone else, as she would lose her credibility if she did.

If I don't tell them, I'll feel sorry for my little sisters.

Concubine Xu never expected that she would encounter the same dilemma as in the storybook.

"How do you know Feng Wuyou?"

Shen Chuwei held her chin with both hands, "I found out by accident, now I'm just curious about who she is."

Concubine Xu was extremely surprised. Apart from being interested in eating, drinking and sleeping, she had never seen Shen Chuwei be so curious about anything.

"I'll help you find out." To find out means to wait for the man in black to come and ask him. He will definitely know who Feng Wuyou is.

Shen Chuwei nodded.

After Concubine Xu left, Shen Chuwei sat in front of the crib, looking at the sleeping babies. Actually, to be honest, Xiao Jinyan said, it was nothing. Who didn't have a childhood sweetheart whom they played with especially well?

But he lied.

There are portraits of Feng Wuyou and birthday gifts in the study. If they didn’t get along particularly well and have a very good relationship, would they have kept these things?

Xiao Jinyan actually said no?

Shen Chuwei was a little depressed.

During dinner, Xiao Jinyan came back from outside.

The maids served the dishes on the table one by one.

Xiao Jinyan came to the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up the dishes slowly. Seeing that Shen Chuwei did not move her chopsticks, she was usually the most active when eating.

"Stop looking and eat."

Shen Chuwei picked up the chopsticks to pick up some food, looking at the table full of delicious food, thinking that she should eat her fill first.

At the dinner table, Xiao Jinyan always speaks very little.

After finishing the meal, he only said a few words.

After taking a bath, Xiao Jinyan planned to have a good chat with Xiaojiu.

If he hadn't heard the messy things in her mind, he might not have taken such a problem to heart.

"Tell me, what happened today?"

Shen Chuwei sat on the bed with her legs crossed, looking at Xiao Jinyan who had a serious face in front of her. It was obviously you who lied, but you still acted like you were right.

"I am just curious."

Xiao Jinyan stretched out his long arms and held her in his arms. "Don't think about those nonsense in the future. When has there ever been other women around me?"

Shen Chuwei thought about it carefully. Since she came here, she had never paid attention to Xiao Jinyan's daily life. Later she found out that although there were many women around Xiao Jinyan, he didn't touch any of them.

However, the things in the secret compartment also exist in reality.

Why doesn't Sammul Hsiao admit it?

The more Shen Chuwei thought about it, the more she felt that the secret in the secret compartment must be very important to Xiao Jinyan.

Just like her, she puts all the delicious food into the space~

Shen Chuwei did not mention the things in the secret compartment to his face because she felt guilty. Prying into other people's secrets is a bad behavior in itself.

She was too curious and couldn't help herself.

Ever since he got drunk that last night, the man in black disappeared and has never appeared again.

Concubine Xu sat in front of the window. It was a hot summer day. She was fanning herself with one hand, looking at the dark night, with the sounds of wind and insects in her ears.

This wait lasted two months.

In the past two months, Chang Liangyuan has been particularly diligent in going to Cining Palace, reading scriptures to the empress dowager and massaging her legs.

These were what Wanxin usually did. After Chang Liangyuan came every day, Wanxin had some free time.

Wanxin looked at Chang Liangyuan who was massaging the empress dowager's legs and humbly asked for advice: "Sister Chang's technique is very skilled. I should learn more from her."

"Miss Wanxin has won the award." Chang Liangyuan smiled slightly. You want to compete with me? Are you worthy?

The Queen Mother was very happy to see Chang Liangyuan and Wanxin in front of her. "I am already half buried in the ground. With you by my side, my mood has improved every day."

Chang Liangyuan said first: "It is my blessing to be able to serve the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager loved me the most when I was a child."

Wan Xin came over with the lotus cake she had prepared in advance and offered it with both hands: "Queen Majesty, this is the snack I prepared, please try it."

The Queen Mother saw the lotus cake, picked up a piece, and praised generously: "Wanxin is clever and skillful, the lotus cake is even more delicious than the one made by Yu's kitchen."

Wan Xin smiled and said, "I am happy that the Queen Mother likes to eat."

The Queen Mother was eating lotus cake. She was old and couldn't eat anything too sweet. The lotus cake made by Wanxin was just the right sweetness.

"You are so virtuous, I am a little reluctant to let you get married, but I promised to find a good husband for you, so I have no choice but to do so."

Wan Xin held the Queen Mother's hand and said reluctantly, "Queen Mother, Wan Xin wants to serve you for the rest of her life."

"What nonsense are you talking about, child?" The Queen Mother said this, but she was very happy in her heart.

After hearing this, Chang Liangyuan had a bad feeling. What if the Queen Mother gave Wanxin to His Highness? Wouldn't that mean there would be one more person competing for His Highness' favor?

"Grandma, I remember that you like to eat jujube paste steamed cake the most. I will make it tomorrow and bring it to you for you to try."

The Queen Mother nodded happily, "Okay, I haven't eaten it for a long time, I want to try it."

Chang Liangyuan lowered her eyelids, her eyes full of calculation.

The next day, Chang Liangyuan came to Cining Palace with some carefully made jujube paste steamed cakes.

"Grandma Empress, I brought some jujube steamed cakes." Chang Liangyuan stepped forward happily, but her foot slipped, her balance was unstable, and she fell directly to the ground. The jujube steamed cake in her hand also fell to the ground and was dirty and could not be eaten.

Wan Xin stepped forward to help Chang Liangyuan up, and asked worriedly, "Sister Chang, are you okay?"

The Queen Mother was also startled, "Lan'er, what happened?"

"Grandma Empress, I'm fine, it's a pity about the date mud steamed cake." Chang Liangyuan endured the pain in her buttocks and looked at the date mud steamed cake on the ground. She was so angry. Why was the ground so slippery?

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that he's alright. It will be the same next time."

At this time, the palace maid came in with small steps, "Miss Wanxin, the jujube paste steamed cake you made is ready."

The Queen Mother was a little surprised, "Wanxin, you also made jujube paste steamed cake?"

Chang Liangyuan raised her head and looked at Wan Xin, questioning in her tone: "Why does Miss Wan Xin want to make jujube mud steamed cake?"

"Yesterday, I heard from Sister Chang that the Queen Mother likes to eat jujube paste steamed cakes. I had nothing to do so I tried to make it. I tried several times but failed every time. I don't know if it will work this time."

The Queen Mother's desire had already been aroused, and she could not wait to say, "Bring it here, let me have a taste."

Wanxin responded and brought over the date paste steamed cake.

"Your Majesty, please try it."

Chang Liangyuan took a look at the date paste steamed cake and found it was no worse than the one she made. When she saw the empress dowager eating it, she praised Wanxin's cooking for being delicious.

Looking at Wan Xin's smug little look, she seemed innocent, but she didn't expect that she was so scheming and was deliberately embarrassing her!

The babies are six months old. Although they cannot crawl properly yet, their body coordination is very good and they can move their bodies to go wherever they want.

The summer is hot and humid, and a cool mat is spread on the couch, making it more convenient for the two babies to look for fresh food everywhere.

Snowballs and rolls became the main toys of the two children.

Xuetuan was lying on the couch with his head pressed very low. Susu rested his head on Xuetuan's head and played with his fluffy ears with his little hands.

Xuetuan stared at Taotao helplessly, because Taotao was pulling his snow-white whiskers very seriously, revealing his sharp teeth from time to time.

Yuangungun, who had been tortured, hid under the low table and looked at Xuetuan with sympathy: Brother, just hold on a little longer, and when the little ancestors fall asleep, you will be free.

Snowball: “…”

Shen Chuwei was lying on the couch taking a nap. She seldom had dreams, but she had a very long dream.

In her dream, she turned into a five-year-old child, running non-stop on her short legs. The corridor seemed to have no end, and she was so tired that she was panting.

The scene changed, and she suddenly grew up and became much taller, but she was still running, and the corridor in front of her was still very long.

At the end of the corridor stood a slender figure, and she tried her best to catch up.

"Brother Jinyan, wait for me."

Shen Chuwei suddenly opened her eyes and met a pair of dark and sparkling phoenix eyes, which made her stunned for a moment.

Xiao Jinyan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. "Did you have a nightmare? You actually called me Brother Jinyan."
