Chapter 47: Being a Concubine Is Not Easy

Chang Liangdi was stunned for a moment when she saw the scene in front of her. She had known Xiao Jinyan for several years and had never seen him lean on a woman's shoulder.

If it wasn't Shen Chuwei, then Xiao Jinyan would have leaned on her shoulder, and that scene is so warm just thinking about it.

Chang Liangdi glared at Shen Chuwei fiercely, and then used some seductive means.

Shen Chuwei lowered her eyes and stared at Xiao Jinyan for a long time. At first she thought he was leaning on her shoulder on purpose to make Chang Liangdi jealous.

I just listened to his even breathing, as if he was really asleep.

She sighed helplessly and said, "Brother, I'm sleepy too. What should I do if you fall asleep?"

Shen Chuwei secretly glanced at Chang Liangdi, and just as she expected, she was very unhappy.

She is an outsider and doesn't want to bother with this shit!

Shen Chuwei persisted for a long time, but finally gave in and was dragged away by Zhou Gong to play chess.

There were only three people in the carriage, two of them were sleeping, leaving Chang Liangdi alone, watching the two people in front of her fall asleep together.

And Xuetuan was staring at Chang Liangdi vigilantly with his deep blue eyes, as if he would pounce over as long as Chang Liangdi moved.

By the time we reached the hunting grounds it was already dark.

Shen Chuwei woke up early and found Xiao Jinyan was still sleeping. How could he sleep more than her?

She raised her head and gave Chang Liangdi a resentful look.

Outside the carriage, Qin Xiao respectfully reminded, "Your Highness, we have arrived at the hunting ground."

Shen Chuwei waited for a while, and when Xiao Jinyan didn't respond, she reminded him quietly, "Your Highness, we've arrived."

"Yeah." Xiao Jinyan slowly opened his eyes and found that he had fallen asleep. When he raised his eyes, he saw a cherry-like mouth, a straight nose, and a pair of clear eyes looking at him.

It also let him know that he was sleeping leaning on Shen Chuwei's shoulder.

Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused, and he sat up straight with the help of the handrail somewhat unnaturally, then opened the car curtain and got out without saying a word.

Chang Liangdi glanced at Shen Chuwei and got off the carriage.

Shen Chuwei rubbed her shoulders, which were numb from being leaned on by Xiao Jinyan for such a long time. It really was not easy to be a concubine.

After getting off the car, Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan slowly, watching Chang Liangdi, wearing a gorgeous dress, walking into the tent with graceful steps.

During the hunt, Xiao Jinyan and Chang Liangdi would definitely sleep on the same bed, so wouldn't she be just a light bulb if she went in?

Shen Chuwei paused and looked sideways at Qin Xiao outside the tent. She walked over and said, "Brother Qin, can you give me a separate tent?"

Qin Xiao asked: "Your Highness said that?"

Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously, "Of course it was His Highness who said that."

Xiao Jinyan definitely didn't want her to come in and disturb their world of two.

Qin Xiao thought about how His Highness had treated Shen Chuwei with delicious food and drink throughout the journey today. How did that look like the way he treated a guard?

He did not dare to neglect it, "I'll call Wei Chi over and set up a single tent for you."

Shen Chuwei raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Brother Qin."

Qin Xiao patted Shen Chuwei on the shoulder and said, "We are all brothers, don't be polite."

Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement.

With the combined efforts of Qin Xiao and Wei Chi, a single tent was set up.

Shen Chuwei looked at the single tent and liked it very much, but it was too close to Xiao Jinyan's tent~

Wei Chi couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Brother, tell me the truth, did you get in through the back door just to eat and drink for free?"

Shen Chuwei did not deny it: "Good vision, you can see all this."

Wei Chi had an expression that said, "Qin Xiao, he really got in through the back door."

Qin Xiao glanced at Shen Chuwei's small figure and said, "With such a delicate figure, he won't pass the first level without using the backdoor."

Shen Chuwei ignored what they said and happily took the quilt to make the bed.

Qin Xiao saw Shen Chuwei's small body and delicate hands, which were not suitable for work. He lifted Shen Chuwei's collar and pulled her aside, "Go aside, I'll help you."

Shen Chuwei was of course happy to have someone help her, "Thank you, Brother Qin."

Wei Chi asked Shen Chuwei, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"I'll eat whatever you eat." She was too lazy to cook for herself anyway.

Wei Chi thought for a while and said, "How about roasted rabbit?"

Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement: "Okay."

"Then I'll go catch some rabbits and be back soon." Wei Chi strode away with his sword in hand.

Xiao Jinyan was the prince, and the tent he lived in was very spacious. After he came in, he sat on the couch to rest.

Chang Liangdi walked over slowly and looked at Xiao Jinyan. Sleeping on the same bed with Xiao Jinyan tonight meant that she would have to sleep with him.

After being in the East Palace for so long, I’m finally going to serve the emperor in bed. How can I not be happy?

As long as she serves him in the emperor's bed, her position as the Crown Princess will be secured.

"Your Highness, may I help you bathe?"

Xiao Jinyan raised his eyelids and saw Chang Liangdi approaching. He said coldly, "After a long journey, Chang Liangdi must be tired. Go and have a rest first."

Chang Liangdi almost thought she had heard it wrong. Xiao Jinyan asked her to get out?

"Your Highness, since Eunuch Liu did not come out with you, I will stay here to serve Your Highness."

A hint of annoyance flashed across Xiao Jinyan's eyes: "Don't bother Chang Liangdi, Qin Xiao and Wei Chi are enough."

Chang Liangdi continued unwillingly, "Your Highness, I want to..."

Xiao Jinyan shouted towards the door: "Qin Xiao."

Qin Xiao opened the door curtain and strode in, bowing and saying, "Your Highness, I am here."

Xiao Jinyan: "Take Chang Liangdi to the tent to rest."

"As you wish." Qin Xiao took two steps forward, "Chang Liangdi, please."

Chang Liangdi gritted her teeth and followed Qin Xiao out unwillingly.

Xiao Jinyan glanced around the tent and didn't see Shen Chuwei. He frowned, wondering if she was lost.

He helped himself down from the couch and walked slowly out of the tent.

At this time, Wei Chi was holding two pheasants. "I didn't catch the rabbit, but I caught two pheasants."

Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up when she saw the two pheasants. "Pheasants are good too. They are especially delicious when roasted."

"Let me take care of it." Wei Chi handled the two pheasants skillfully with a dagger. The water had been boiled long ago, and the pheasants were put into the hot water so that the feathers would be easier to pluck.

Shen Chuwei was not idle either. When Wei Chi came over after preparing the pheasant, she placed the seasoning in front of him and said, "Use these seasonings to make the roasted pheasant taste better."

Wei Chi looked at the bottles and jars, and according to Shen Chuwei's instructions, he smeared the powder on the pheasant one by one, then pierced it with branches and roasted it over the fire.

Shen Chuwei felt a little greedy just by staring at it.

This was the scene that Xiao Jinyan saw when he came out. Shen Chuwei was sitting next to Wei Chi, staring at the pheasant on the fire.

He frowned and uttered three words: "No future!"

Qin Mu came over, lowered his brows and nodded: "Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"

Xiao Jinyan said in a deep voice: "Let her in."

Qin Xiao asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, are you referring to Brother Shen?"

Brother Shen?

Xiao Jinyan: “Yeah.”

"I'll go right away." Qin Xiao took the order and went to find Shen Chuwei.

"Little brother, His Highness wants you to come in."

"I'll go right away." Shen Chuwei did not dare to delay. He stood up quickly and ran into the tent.

"Your Highness, you called me?" She glanced around the tent and didn't see Chang Liangdi. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Jinyan's voice was a little deep: "You forgot your identity right after you came out?"
