Chapter 42 Exchange (Second Update)

When Shen Chuwei heard that there were conditions, she lay down again. She knew that Xiao Jinyan would not be so kind as to take her to hunt in the Autumn Examination.

"Forget it, I won't go." She waved her hand weakly, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

Chunxi looked at the master who had just been excited and suddenly became depressed, "My young master, why don't you go without even asking what the conditions are?"

Shen Chuwei said lazily: "No need to ask, I definitely can't do what he said, I might as well lie down in the sun."

Chunxi asked: "Then the young lady doesn't want to leave the palace?"

Shen Chuwei closed his eyes and replied vaguely, "I do."

"My Lord, you don't even know what the conditions are, how do you know you can't do it?"

After Chunxi asked, he found that his master had fallen asleep.

The person who was excited just now fell asleep immediately?

Chunxi sighed. In fact, she didn't know what His Highness' conditions were. She was just a messenger.

The next day, Shen Chuwei did not mention this matter during breakfast, and Chunxi did not ask.

Just after breakfast, Tao Chenghui came to visit and brought a gift.

Shen Chuwei was lying on the couch, but he was still thinking about the autumn hunting.

Tao Chenghui held the white porcelain plate in his hand, bowed, and then placed it on the low table. He said warmly, "This is the tea cake that my father just asked someone to send over today. I brought it here especially for my sister to taste."

When Shen Chuwei heard the word "cha guozi", her eyes lit up. She leaned forward to look towards the short table and saw a plate of tea guozi with two butterflies carved on it. Could this be the famous tea guozi of "Flying Together"?

"Sister Tao is so polite."

"We're sisters, so of course we have to share the delicious food. As long as Sister Shen likes it." After spending a few times with Shen Fengyi, she discovered that Shen Fengyi was particularly attentive to food, and she found that she didn't need to think too much when getting along with Shen Fengyi.

Shen Chuwei touched her stomach. She had just eaten and now there was no room for more. She stared at the tea fruit and licked her lips. "I'll eat later."

Tao Chenghui knew Shen Fengyi liked her from the look in her eyes, so she didn't beat around the bush, "Sister Shen, do you still have the sweet potatoes I ate at your place a few days ago? Can you give me a few?"

"Yes." Shen Chuwei turned around and ordered, "Chunxi, go dig some sweet potatoes for Sister Tao."

"Yes." Chunxi took the order and went to the backyard to dig sweet potatoes. After a short while, he dug five sweet potatoes, put them in a basket and handed them to Tao Chenghui?

Tao Chenghui came here just to eat sweet potatoes, and now he has got them he is going back.

As soon as Tao Chenghui left, Shen Chuwei fell asleep on the couch.

Study

Xiao Jinyan put down the book and coughed twice.

Eunuch Liu came over with tea and said worriedly, "Your Highness, shall I ask Doctor Yu to take a look at you?"

"No need." Xiao Jinyan pinched his brows and asked, "Has Shen Fengyi been here today?"

Eunuch Liu: "Your Highness, I have never been here."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes froze for a moment, and he stopped asking questions and picked up the book to continue reading.

At this time, the shrill voice of Eunuch Ren came from outside the door, "The Queen has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan put down the book in his hand and stood up to greet him.

The queen came in wearing a gorgeous red dress, followed by six palace maids.

Xiao Jinyan stepped forward to greet him, "May your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

The queen sat down on the chair and glanced at the prince's forehead. "Is the wound on your forehead healed?"

After half a month, even the knife wounds healed and began to scab over.

Xiao Jinyan: "I'm back, mother. I'm fine now."

The queen nodded and said, "That's good. You can take Lan'er with you to the autumn hunting event in three days."

Xiao Jinyan said, "Mother, we are going hunting this time. Chang Liangdi is weak and not suitable to go."

The queen's face darkened. "I know you want to take Shen Fengyi with you again, right? She just has a pretty face. Don't spoil her too much."

Early this morning, the Queen heard about Chang Liangdi's birthday. Chang Liangdi had already asked the Crown Prince to stay, but the Crown Prince left on the pretext of being busy with official duties. Not only did he leave, but he also took Shen Fengyi with him. Didn't this embarrass Chang Liangdi in public?

How could she, as an aunt, sit still and watch her niece being wronged?

Xiao Jinyan asked expressionlessly, "Mother, Shen Fengyi was also the concubine you chose for me. Now I am pampering her, but I am not happy. How can I satisfy you?"

The Queen was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect the Prince to question her like this. It was true that she chose Shen Fengyi because she was beautiful and was the daughter of Minister Shen.

Which man doesn't love beautiful women?

She picked the pretty one and made the wrong choice?

"That's not what I meant. How is Lan'er not better than Shen Fengyi? Can't you spoil her together?"

Xiao Jinyan did not answer but asked: "Then why does the Queen Mother dislike Shen Fengyi?"

"Brother." Xiao Jinyu strode in and found that the queen was also there. He stepped forward to greet her and said, "Your son pays respects to the queen mother."

When the queen saw her son, her eyes immediately softened, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Jinyu glanced at Xiao Jinyan, "Is the Queen Mother talking to my brother?"

The queen nodded: "Yes, let's talk about the hunting in the autumn examination."

Xiao Jinyu looked at Xiao Jinyan curiously, "So, are you planning to bring your sister-in-law with you?"

The Queen: "I came here for this matter, but your brother said that she is too weak to go hunting in the autumn examination."

Xiao Jinyu recalled Shen Fengyi, who had a petite figure and it was not known whether she had reached the age of marriage, but she felt that she was a good match for him.

"Sister-in-law is indeed weak, but she went hunting in the autumn exam, and she didn't have to ride a horse and hunt herself."

When the queen heard her son helping her, she looked at the prince with some pride, "Did you hear that? Even your brother said he could be brought along."

Xiao Jinyu also said: "Brother, you can take Shen Fengyi with you, I will catch rabbits for her to play with."

Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at his brother, "..." Is it necessary for you to catch him?

The queen was stunned for a moment, "Yu'er, who did you call sister-in-law just now?"

Xiao Jinyu looked at the queen with a puzzled look on his face, "Shen Fengyi, isn't it Shen Fengyi that mother is talking about?"

The Queen was also puzzled, "How did Shen Fengyi become your sister-in-law? Your sister-in-law is the future Crown Princess."

Xiao Jinyu retorted, "Isn't there a Crown Princess yet? If Shen Fengyi's first bed was not his sister-in-law, then what else could it be?"

The queen was stunned. What kind of nonsense is this?

Just by sleeping with the wife, she becomes the legal wife?

"Yu'er, you can only call the prince's wife sister-in-law, do you understand?"

Xiao Jinyu nodded to show that he understood.

The Queen continued, "I have already mentioned the autumn hunting to His Majesty. The Crown Prince should take Chang Liangdi with him."

Xiao Jinyan pursed his lips and sneered in his heart. He had already informed his father in advance, so why bother with this?

*

When Xiao Jinyan came to Xiyun Pavilion, Shen Chuwei was still asleep.

Chunxi wanted to go in and wake up his master, but was waved away by Xiao Jinyan.

After Chunxi left, Xiao Jinyan walked in and saw a petite figure lying on the couch, with her head resting on her arms, and she looked like she was sleeping very soundly.

He lifted his coat and sat down on the other side of the couch. He saw the snacks on the low table. He had barely eaten two bites of breakfast, so he picked up one and took a bite.
