Chapter 6 Her Wish
Xiao Jin put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the concubines, and said in a cold voice: "In order for the wishes of my beloved concubines to be fulfilled as soon as possible, go to the Buddhist temple and chant for an hour."
Reciting the sutra for one hour is equivalent to kneeling for one hour. Who can bear it?
Xu Liangyuan was so angry that she couldn't help but curse, "Is the prince sick? He still wants to go to the temple and chant sutras?"
She looked at Chang Liangdi. So what if she was the empress's niece? Didn't she still have to go to the Buddhist temple to chant sutras with them?
Xiao Jinyan listened calmly and said, "I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother today. I heard that the Queen Mother was thinking about not seeing Chang Liangdi for a few days. You go and pay your respects to the Queen Mother."
Chang Liang Di was delighted. His Royal Highness was really concerned about her. She bowed happily and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. I will go and pay my respects to my aunt now."
After Xiao Jinyan left, the ladies slowly walked out of the bedroom.
Xu Liangyuan gritted her teeth in anger. Isn't she just the Queen's niece? What's so great about that?
"His Highness is really good to Sister Chang. He specifically reminds Sister Chang to go see the Empress. This way, she doesn't have to go to the Buddhist temple to chant sutras." Feng Liangyuan said with a chuckle, holding Chang Liangdi's arm.
"Of course, Sister Chang is gentle and lovely, and is the most beloved by His Highness." Xu Chenghui also flattered with a smile.
Xu Liangyuan supported Jin Buyao and snorted with disdain, "You guys are like dogs licking my clothes, so shameless!"
Shen Chuwei walked slowly behind because she didn't know that she had to kneel down to chant.
"My lady, please stay." Eunuch Liu quickly caught up with her.
Shen Chuwei stopped and looked around to see that no one was there. She pointed at her nose and asked, "Is Eunuch Liu calling me?"
"Just call me young lady." Eunuch Liu nodded with a smile, "Young lady, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants you to wait in the side hall."
Eunuch Liu has been serving Xiao Jinyan personally since he was young. As his status rises, his position is naturally higher than that of ordinary eunuchs. Calling Shen Chuwei "you" is just being polite.
Shen Chuwei nodded and said, "Then please let Eunuch Liu lead the way."
"My lord, this way."
Eunuch Liu walked in front to lead the way.
Chunxi's face was filled with excitement; her young lady had finally attracted the Crown Prince's favor, all thanks to her outfit today.
When Chunxi looked at Shen Chuwei's bald hair with pride... Where were the pearl flowers she had carefully selected? Where was the glittering golden hairpin?
After Shen Chuwei followed Eunuch Liu to the side hall, Eunuch Liu said, "My lady, please wait a moment. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be here soon."
After saying this, he left, and the master and his servant were the only ones left in the huge side hall.
There were three plates of snacks and a pot of tea on the round table in the side hall.
Shen Chuwei thought that the Crown Prince had prepared it specially for her, so she lifted her skirt and was about to sit down.
Chunxi was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the person up, and reminded in a low voice: "My lady, this is the prince's bedroom. You cannot sit down without the permission of His Highness. If His Highness sees you, you will be punished for disrespect."
Shen Chuwei was somewhat helpless. The palace had strict rules. If she wasn't careful, she would lose her head.
Chunxi took advantage of the silence to ask quietly, "My lady, where is the pearl and gold brocade ornament in your hair?"
Shen Chu smiled and said, "It's a bit windy today, I accidentally ran away with the wind~"
Chunxi was filled with questions: Will it be windy today?
At this time, in the study
The wishing notes that were supposed to be buried in the sea of fire were now piled up on the dark desk.
Even without seeing the wishes of the other concubines, Xiao Jinyan guessed what they were. They just wanted to become the Crown Princess, be favored and serve in the emperor's bedchamber as soon as possible, give birth to a dragon child, and make the mother noble by having a son.
He just wanted to see Shen Chuwei's wish and was curious about what she was thinking.
Xiao Jinyan looked at two notes in a row, one of which was from Xu Liangyuan, who hoped that she could be favored and give birth to a dragon child as soon as possible and become the Crown Princess.
A hint of disgust flashed across his cold eyes, and then he crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
Lu Zhaoyan was also helping to find Shen Chuwei's wishing note. He accidentally saw the wishes of other ladies and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
As someone who didn't have the ability to read minds, he was originally jealous of Xiao Jinyan, but now he suddenly felt a little sympathy for Xiao Jinyan.
Women all want to enjoy his affection, bear children for him, become his princess, and...
The more Xiao Jinyan looked, the tighter his brows furrowed, until he saw an unusual wish, and then his brows relaxed.
The first row is the birth date, and the last row is the wishes.
My wish is that the Yu Kitchen can send a fresh sea bass to Xiyun Pavilion for dinner. It doesn’t have to be too big, three pounds would be perfect.
Finally, add a sweet smile.
He stared at the smiling face, then took out the pattern on the sachet to compare it. The smiling face on the paper looked sweeter and more comfortable than the one on the sachet.
He couldn't help but smile. Who wishes for a fish?
“Found it.”
When Lu Zhaoyan raised his head, Xiao Jinyan's note was handed to him. He took the note and looked at it curiously, and couldn't help laughing when he saw the first sentence.
"Your Highness, this Shen Fengyi is very interesting."
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Lu Zhaoyan coldly, "Don't forget the important things."
"I understand." Lu Zhaoyan suppressed his smile and took the birth date and eight characters to make the talisman water.
Not long after, the talisman water was ready. Lu Zhaoyan brought it to Xiao Jinyan. As they grew up together, Xiao Jinyan trusted him very much.
After Xiao Jinyan finished drinking the magic water, he said, "I'll go and try it."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to leave.
Lu Zhaoyan held the empty bowl, looked at Xiao Jinyan's hurriedly leaving back, and said slowly: "I don't know if this method will work?"
It was quiet in the side hall.
Shen Chuwei's clear and bright big eyes were fixed on the mung bean cakes, date paste cakes and osmanthus cakes on the round table. She licked her lips.
Chunxi woke him up early in the morning to wash and dress him up. He was urged to bring the sachet to Xiao Jinyan before he had eaten enough. He was so hungry that he was starving.
It is really torture to be able to look at the pastries but not eat them.
At this time, the shrill voice of Eunuch Liu came from the door: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
Xiao Jinyan walked in, still wearing the same moon-white gold-woven satin robe he had worn before, with a cool white shirt underneath, looking as noble and cold as his temperament.
Shen Chuwei bowed and said, "May your highness be blessed with good health."
Xiao Jinyan came to the throne, lifted his skirt and sat down.
"No thanks."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Chuwei stood aside with her head lowered and brows furrowed, staring at her toes, waiting obediently for Xiao Jinyan to speak.
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei and asked calmly, "Last time, I wrongly blamed you. Do you have any complaints?"
Shen Chuwei was afraid that the prince would not believe her, so she shook her head like a wave drum.
"No, no, Your Highness is very perceptive. You didn't punish me but rewarded me. I am so happy that I have no time to complain."
Xiao Jinyan snorted in his heart. No complaints?
He then asked, "Xiyun Pavilion is the most biased. Do you think I am unfair?"
Shen Chuwei still shook her head, "No, no, although Xiyun Pavilion is a little far away, it's quite nice for me to live in."
Who doesn’t love a leisurely life without being disturbed by anyone?
