Chapter 539: Too Familiar...Great Skill in Clinging to People
Xiao Jin lifted the stone and took a closer look. Although the words were small, they were clearly visible.
The words "Xiao Jiu" are engraved on it.
"Who is Xiaojiu?"
Just when Xiao Jinyan was puzzled, he raised his head and glanced inside the tent, but did not see Shen Chuwei. He thought that she went to take a shower, and why did she not come out for so long?
He stood up with the bracelet in his hand and walked behind the screen, "Shen Chuwei?"
No one answered.
Xiao Jinyan still understood her a little and would not refuse him. Puzzled, he quickened his pace and came behind the screen. He saw only a pitch-black head and jade-white shoulders exposed in the bathtub, with waist-length hair cascading down like a waterfall.
At this moment, her eyes were tightly closed, and it was obvious that she was asleep.
Thinking that she had been sleepy all the time, she rode for several hours today and then cooked when she returned to the tent. No wonder she was tired and fell asleep.
Xiao Jinyan put the bracelet into his clothes, picked up the towel beside him, then picked up the girl in the bathtub and wrapped her in the towel, turned around, strode to the bed, and put her on the bed.
After doing all this, Xiao Jinyan had already used up a lot of self-control. He sat down on the bed and looked down at the sleeping Shen Chuwei.
After falling asleep, she is very well-behaved, like a child, and is not easy to wake up.
He looked at her for a long time before he undressed, got on the bed and lay down beside her.
It's just that there was a woman sleeping next to him, and the faint fragrance of her after shower always lingered around his nose, disturbing his mind.
When Shen Chuwei woke up, she was startled. She was still taking a bath.
She suddenly opened her eyes, looked down, and found that she was not in the bathtub. She knew without thinking that it must be Xiao Jinyan who took her out of the bathtub.
She raised her head and saw Xiao Jinyan, who was dressed neatly. He was wearing the brocade robe he usually wore, which looked different from ordinary clothes.
Xiao Jinyan walked over slowly and asked, "Are you awake?"
Shen Chuwei rubbed her eyes. She had just woken up, so her voice was a little hoarse. "Well, is it too late to make breakfast now?"
Xiao Jinyan said: "Qin Xiao has gone to prepare breakfast."
"Okay." Shen Chuwei propped himself up and sat up, stretched his waist, and felt cool.
As soon as Xiao Jinyan walked to the bed, he saw such an alluring scenery and suddenly felt a little hot.
Shen Chuwei lowered her head and glanced at her body. Last night, Xiao Jinyan picked her up and didn't even put clothes on her...
She picked up the undergarment beside her and put it on. A figure came towards her, grabbed her wrist and stopped her from taking the next step.
Shen Chu raised her head slightly, and saw the pair of bright eyes turning as dark as ink. She was too familiar with this look.
Xiao Jinyan lowered his head and kissed her pink lips. Actually, he couldn't help himself last night, but he didn't have the heart to wake her up.
Seeing this, she was sober and naturally couldn't help herself.
"Jinyan, didn't you say that Qin Xiao went to get breakfast? Then he..."
Xiao Jinyan leaned close to her and said ambiguously, "Just once."
…
When Qin Xiao got breakfast, he stood at the door and called out twice, but no one answered, so he didn't dare go in.
Shen Chu was extremely nervous. Although she knew Qin Xiao would not come in without permission, those two sounds still made her nervous.
Xiao Jinyu dragged his serious injuries to the door of the Crown Prince's tent and saw Qin Xiao carrying breakfast. "Why don't you come in?"
"My master has not given me permission to enter."
Xiao Jinyu glanced at the curtain curiously, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Are the prince brother and sister-in-law not up yet?"
"The master has already gotten up and is busy." Qin Xiao lowered his head and nodded. He was actually very embarrassed.
Xiao Jinyu didn't think about it at all. He was just a little confused, "Brother Crown Prince doesn't remember anything, what can he be busy with now?"
Qin Xiao: "..." That's hard to say...
The conversation between the two people outside came in word for word.
Shen Chu blushed and pushed the man on her body, "Hurry up."
Xiao Jinyan stared at the person under him, his eyes filled with emotion. He wanted to continue both physically and mentally, but now was obviously not the right time.
He stood up, turned around, took out a wet towel and wiped her body.
After being busy for a while, the two of them put on their clothes one after another.
With Xiao Jinyan's permission, Qin Xiao walked in with breakfast, lowered his head, placed the breakfast on the table, then went out and got breakfast for Xuetuan.
Qin Xiao had developed the habit without Shen Chuwei's instructions.
Xiao Jinyu walked in, saw Xiao Jinyan, and walked over, "Brother Crown Prince, when are you planning to return to Daxia?"
Xiao Jinyan said calmly: "I will not return to Daxia for the time being."
Xiao Jinyu was a little excited when he heard this, "Brother Crown Prince wants to wait until we have conquered both Xueyue Kingdom and Fengqi Kingdom, and then return to Daxia together, right?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "Nan Zhao is the only powerful country now and will not let Da Xia take back Xue Yue and Feng Qi."
Xiao Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then he realized what the prince said, "No wonder Xueyue Country and Fengqi Country are so rampant."
Shen Chuwei was already hungry. She could not wait to sit at the table, picked up a meat bun, put it into her mouth and took a bite, and reminded the two men in front of her: "Breakfast is the most important thing. It's not too late to discuss this matter after breakfast."
Xiao Jinyu nodded in agreement, "Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense."
Sit down at the table with Xiao Jinyan.
In front of me were meat buns, a bowl of steaming porridge, beef and a few side dishes.
After eating the breakfast made by Shen Chuwei, it would be a bit hard to swallow the breakfast in the military camp.
Xiao Jinyan didn't eat the meat buns. He took a few sips of porridge and ate some beef. He found that the beef was not as delicious as Shen Chuwei's.
Xiao Jinyu was tired of the food in the military camp. He took a bite of the bun and sighed, "My sister-in-law's steamed buns and pan-fried buns are still the best."
Shen Chu smiled and said, "I got up late today, otherwise I would have cooked breakfast myself."
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Xiao Jinyu and said in a slightly cold voice: "She is the Crown Princess, not a cook."
"Brother Prince, I know."
Xiao Jinyu knew that the prince was worried about his sister-in-law. He took another bite of the meat bun and suddenly raised his head to look at Shen Chuwei.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you teach the chef in the barracks how to cook? That way you don't have to cook yourself."
"Of course, we can. A church can just have one or two cooks. As for big pots of rice, we can't do that."
There are so many soldiers in the barracks, and they have to eat so much food and meals every day, so it is impossible to be so meticulous.
"I understand." Xiao Jinyu just wanted to satisfy his appetite.
After breakfast, Shen Chuwei went to teach the chef how to cook.
Xiao Jinyan was pestered by Xiao Jinyu to tell her about this experience, and she also learned a lot from Xiao Jinyu's skill in pestering people.
Actually, he doesn't dislike Xiao Jinyu, he just thinks she's a little silly and clingy, so he kind of dislikes her~
The chefs learn cooking skills very quickly. Shen Chuwei spent some time teaching them simple stir-frying, stewing, and cooking meals, and that was all she needed to teach them.
These three chefs specialize in cooking for Xiao Jinyan, Xiao Jinyu, and several generals.
It took two hours to teach them cooking, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon.
After church, Shen Chuwei was on his way back to the tent when he saw Wu Tan standing in an open space, looking up at something not far away. He had no idea what he was looking at.
But he was alone and seemed a little lonely.
He was no longer wearing a cassock, but a monk's robe. The little monk had become a little master.
But she felt that Wu Tan was indifferent to the worldly affairs. Nothing could catch his eye, and nothing could affect his peace of mind.
This is probably what Buddhism often refers to as the highest state of emptiness of the four elements.
Shen Chuwei was filled with admiration just thinking about it. As the saying goes, food, sex and nature are all part of human nature. As a mortal, she could never reach Wu Tan's level.
"Wutan," she greeted and walked towards him.
Wu Tanwensheng slowly turned around and saw Shen Chuwei. He put his hands together, smiled slightly and asked, "Where did the Crown Princess go?"
Shen Chuwei raised her hand to block the sunlight above her head and asked in confusion, "I'm going to teach the chef how to cook. Why are you standing under the sun? Isn't it hot?"
Wu Tan said, “Not bad.”
Shen Chuwei raised his thumb in admiration, "It seems that the saying 'a calm mind brings coolness' is most appropriate for you."
Wu Tan chuckled: "Crown Princess, you are joking. I am just pondering one thing."
Shen Chu tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of doubt, "Do I need to stand under the sun to understand something?"
Wu Tan said, "Master said that the more you think about something, the easier it is to get stuck in a dead end. When you comprehend something, you probably get out of that dead end."
Shen Chuwei said: "No wonder the high monk who has attained enlightenment is not something that ordinary people can reach. It is something that you cannot comprehend."
Wu Tan said, "It's not as mysterious as you think."
Shen Chuwei praised generously: "No matter what, you are already very good."
Wu Tan said gently: "I am just an ordinary monk."
Shen Chuwei thought Wu Tan was being self-deprecating.
Xiao Jinyan was pestered by Xiao Jinyu for a whole day and finally tired out that stupid brother. He went back to rest, but found that Shen Chuwei had not returned yet, so he went out to look for her.
When he saw two figures standing in the open space, his eyes darkened.
No wonder he hasn’t come back yet, it turns out he was chatting and laughing with that monk?
He walked over with a sullen face.
"Shen Chuwei."
Shen Chuwei turned around to look at Xiao Jinyan when she heard the voice. She happily took two steps forward to greet him, "Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan saw beads of sweat on her forehead, then looked at her rosy little face and asked, "Isn't it hot?"
"It's a bit hot." How could it not be hot?
"Then let's go back." Xiao Jinyan grabbed her hand and walked back.
Shen Chuwei turned around and smiled at Wu Tan, then left politely.
Wu Tan stood there, watching Shen Chuwei's figure disappear around the corner, then he looked away.
Back in the tent, Shen Chuwei picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea to quench her thirst. When she looked at Xiao Jinyan, she found that he looked a little unhappy.
"Your Highness, are you in a hurry to go to Nanzhao Kingdom? You can leave at any time. I also want to go and come back quickly."
Xiao Jinyan also wanted to go to Nanzhao Kingdom as soon as possible to resolve his doubts, and perhaps he would be able to remember it.
"Then we'll set out tomorrow."
