Chapter 44: Wearing Men's Clothing (First Update)

Feng Liangyuan looked up and saw His Highness standing at the door with a look of fear on his face. She was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to her knees.

She never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would actually be in Xiyun Pavilion. Before she came, she clearly heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to Yu's study.

Wenlan was so scared that she crawled on the ground.

Feng Liangyuan said cautiously: "Your Highness, I am only here to teach Shen Fengyi a lesson for your Highness about his lack of etiquette and rules, and I have no intention of touching Shen Fengyi."

Xiao Jinyan walked over slowly and stood beside Shen Chuwei.

In fact, he had not fallen asleep yet. He knew when Shen Chuwei left the room, but his eyelids were too heavy.

It was not until he heard Feng Liangyuan's outrageous words that he got up and came out.

Shen Chuwei had already put away the beef jerky, stood up from the rocking chair, and obediently retreated one step behind Xiao Jinyan.

Feng Liangyuan didn't even dare to raise her head. She looked down and saw a pair of black boots with gold weave appear in front of her. She was extremely nervous.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at Feng Liangyuan, his voice cold: "It is you who cannot understand the rules of etiquette. You are just a little Liangyuan, do you want to replace me?"

"Your Highness, I dare not." Feng Liangyuan lowered her head even more, and couldn't help complaining in her heart. She was Liangyuan, two levels higher than Shen Fengyi in rank. So what if she gave him a lesson?

Your Highness is truly blind in protecting that vixen Shen Fengyi!

Xiao Jinyan heard all the complaints, and his eyes turned cold. "Shen Fengyi, what did Feng Liangyuan just say?"

Shen Chuwei told Feng Liangyuan all the things that she had wronged. "Your Highness, I can guarantee that everything I said is true."

Feng Liangyuan refused to admit it: "Your Highness, Shen Fengyi is talking nonsense. I did not say that."

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "I just heard everything, do you still want to make excuses?"

Feng Liangyuan trembled: "Your Highness, I dare not."

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "Feng Liangyuan speaks evil words and has no virtue at all. She will be demoted to Zhao Xun and moved to Yueyin Pavilion to reflect on her mistakes."

Zhaoshun is of the lowest rank. She was demoted from Liangyuan to Zhaoshun all of a sudden, and then had to move to Yueyin Pavilion, a warm pavilion that is also far away. Who could accept that?

"Your Highness, I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me, Your Highness. I will never dare to do it again..."

Feng Liangyuan was dragged out by two eunuchs.

Shen Chuwei secretly glanced at Xiao Jinyan and saw that he was very observant and was worthy of being the one who was going to be the emperor.

Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at Shen Chuwei, "Is the porridge ready?"

"I'll go and take a look." Shen Chuwei turned and went to the small kitchen.

After a while, the porridge and a few side dishes were served on the table.

Shen Chuwei took a bowl and filled it with porridge for Xiao Jinyan and placed it in front of him. She introduced it carefully: "Your Highness, this is lean meat porridge. Please try it."

"Yeah." Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the steaming lean meat porridge. The diced meat could be clearly seen in it.

He took the spoon that Shen Chuwei handed over to him, scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth. It tasted light, and the taste of meat was also light.

He glanced at the side dish in front of him, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of the side dish and put it into his mouth. It was slightly spicy and a little sour. Normally he didn't like to eat these, but today his taste was bad and he liked the taste instead.

"What is this side dish?"

Shen Chu introduced with a smile: "Your Highness, this is sour beans, it is the best to pair with porridge."

"Hmm." Xiao Jinyan ate some more sour beans and ate them with the porridge. Before he knew it, he had eaten two bowls of porridge.

Shen Chuwei ate three bowls of rice before she put down her bowl and chopsticks contentedly and wiped the corners of her mouth with a wet handkerchief.

Xiao Jinyan was used to drinking tea after dinner. Chunxi had also asked about it, so he prepared some tea and placed it aside. He picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips and took a sip of tea. "You don't have to dress up as a guard of this palace for the autumn hunting exam."

Originally, I wanted to take Shen Chuwei with me only and dress her up as a bodyguard for convenience.

Now that Chang Liangdi was also going, and after what happened with Feng Liangyuan just now, he decided to let Shen Chuwei go with him openly.

Shen Chuwei felt that being a light bulb required one to have the self-awareness to be a light bulb, and it was good enough that he could take her out.

"Your Highness, it's nice to be a guard."

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Why?"

Of course I can't disturb you!

"It's convenient to travel by disguising as a guard." It's convenient for you and yourself. Wearing men's clothes is much more convenient than wearing women's clothes.

Xiao Jinyan pinched his brows and didn't bother about it anymore. "Forget it, do whatever you want."

Shen Chuwei assured again and again, "I can ride a horse and will not disturb you and Chang Liangdi."

Xiao Jinyan frowned. Even though he couldn't hear her inner thoughts, he knew that Shen Chuwei was making up a cliché plot in her mind.

Xiao Jinyan now feels that there is no need to explain. Later, Xiao Jinyan hinted explicitly and implicitly that Chang Liangdi was not his sweetheart and he had never favored anyone.

I wish I could dig open Shen Chuwei's brain and clear out all the messy thoughts in her mind.

After Xiao Jinyan left, Shen Chuwei lay on the couch and planned to take a nap, but when she thought about the tea fruit she hadn't eaten, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

When Chunxi learned that his master was going to go hunting with His Highness in the Autumn Examination, he began to pack his luggage.

The news of Feng Liangyuan's demotion quickly spread throughout the Eastern Palace. Together with the punishment of Shen Liangyuan, both were due to Shen Fengyi's talent. This let everyone know that Shen Fengyi was very skilled and easily made His Highness punish the two Liangyuans.

Some people who followed Chang Liangdi's lead also began to wait and see. After all, whoever is favored and close to her will be blessed.

On the eve of the autumn hunting examination, Eunuch Liu sent several sets of clothes.

"My Lady Shen, this was specially made for you by the manufacturing company at the request of His Highness. Do you like it after taking a look?" Eunuch Liu smiled kindly.

Shen Chuwei picked up a red round-neck satin robe and looked it up and down. It was finely crafted and had beautiful dark patterns.

She looked at Eunuch Liu with satisfaction, "The clothes are very nice, please have Eunuch Liu deliver them to me personally."

"Ms. Shen is too polite. As long as you like it, I'll go back and report."

Chunxi happily saw Eunuch Liu off.

That night, Xiao Jinyan developed a high fever, and when he woke up in the morning, he looked unwell.

Eunuch Liu was a careful person. He noticed that His Highness looked a little unwell and could not help but feel a little worried: "Your Highness, you don't look very well. It would be better to ask Doctor Yu to come and take a look."

"It's too late." Xiao Jinyan looked at the breakfast in front of him without any appetite, so he asked Eunuch Liu to leave.

Shen Chuwei got up early, which was rare for her. She changed into her red round-neck satin gown, tied her waist-length hair into a bun, and put on a red headband that only teenagers wore.

Chunxi also specially painted a simple flower ornament on Shen Chuwei's forehead, making her look a lot prettier.

After Chunxi tied the hairband, she looked around at her master, her eyes full of surprise, "The young master looks good in men's clothes."

Shen Chuwei looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied with the outfit. "I think so too. Men's clothes are more convenient."

After packing, Shen Chuwei carried her luggage and went to the prince's bedroom with excitement.

Chunxi was forced to stay in Xiyun Pavilion.

When we arrived at the prince's bedroom, there was a group of guards standing outside.

Shen Chuwei walked in with great fanfare, but was stopped halfway. "Brother, are you new here? Stand at the back. His Highness will be out soon."
