Chapter 7 Lord Lu is amazing

Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei for a long time. He didn't hear what she was thinking and felt a little depressed. He was also a little confused. Could it be that the talisman water was useless?

Eunuch Liu came in hunched over and asked, "Your Highness, it's time for lunch. Shall we serve the food?"

Xiao Jinyan: "Serve the meal."

"Yes." Eunuch Liu took the order and served the meal.

Shen Chuwei's originally dark eyes instantly lit up when she heard about lunch. The prince's food and drink expenses were much higher than hers, so there must be a lot of delicious food for lunch.

It's already dinner time, the prince should let her stay for lunch, right?

Xiao Jinyan was a little disappointed, so he waved his hand and said, "You can go back."

"..." It was time for dinner, and the prince didn't even bother to show off, so she might as well take the opportunity to eat for free!

Since she couldn't eat for free, Shen Chuwei could only bow and say, "I'll take my leave."

Not long after Shen Chuwei left, Lu Zhaoyan walked in.

"How is your highness?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head: "Mind reading still doesn't work on her. Do you have any other ideas?"

"Let me think about it again."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes darkened. He would not leave a time bomb around him.

At the entrance of the Buddhist temple, the ladies who had just finished chanting sutras were supported by their personal palace maids as they returned to the palace.

"It hurts so much." Xu Liangyuan rubbed her leg and complained in her heart that the prince was crazy. How could he still keep his leg after kneeling for an hour?

"My lady, I will help you back." Caixia, the personal maid, carefully supported Xu Liangyuan.

Xu Liangyuan thought of Shen Liangdi who was fasting in the Buddhist temple. She was unhappy, and of course she wanted Shen Liangdi to be unhappy too.

"Caixia, help me go visit Shen Liangdi."

"Yes." Caixia helped Xu Liangyuan to the side room of the Buddhist temple.

Shen Liangdi had been eating vegetarian food for four days in a row, without any oil or fat, and her mouth was almost dry. She looked at the three vegetarian dishes in front of her and had no appetite at all.

There are still more than twenty days left. How will she survive?

"Sister Shen, are you having lunch?"

Xu Liangyuan walked in with a smile on her face, supported by Caixia.

Shen Liangdi felt unlucky whenever she saw Xu Liangyuan. The last time Chang Liangdi fell into the water, if it wasn’t for Xu Liangyuan, she wouldn’t have been punished by the prince and confined to her house for a month.

Even if you don't deal with it, you still have to do the superficial work.

"Why is my sister here?"

"I heard that my sister would be fasting here for a month, so I came to see her." Xu Liangyuan looked down at the three vegetarian dishes in front of her, and then thought that Shen Liangdi would not be able to see His Highness for a long time, and she felt a lot better.

Shen Liangdi snorted in her heart, thinking that the weasel had no good intention in paying a New Year's greeting to the chicken.

Xu Liangyuan looked down at the three plates of vegetarian dishes and covered her mouth in surprise, "Oh my! Sister only eats vegetables and radishes? No wonder your face isn't as rosy as before, sister has suffered these days."

Shen Liangdi touched her face in fear. What a woman cares about most is her face, not to mention a woman of the prince. How can she fight for favor if her face is ruined?

But I was too embarrassed to get a mirror to look at myself in front of Xu Liangyuan.

"Sister, what are you talking about? It is my blessing to be able to fast for His Highness. How can eating vegetarian food be considered as suffering?"

"My sister is right. I don't have her luck. I ate pork elbow with marinated sauce yesterday, and the kitchen made Dongpo pork today. I feel a little sick of it." Xu Liangyuan said with a smile.

Shen Liangdi swallowed her saliva, and when she looked at the vegetarian dishes in front of her, she couldn't eat any of them.

Xu Liangyuan saw her swallowing her saliva and smiled smugly in her heart, I'll never let you die.

"Today, His Highness asked Lord Lu to come and pray for the sisters. Unfortunately, my sister was fasting here and couldn't go. It's such a rare opportunity, it's a pity."

Yesterday, Shen Liang Di heard from her personal maid that the Crown Prince asked Lord Lu to pray for them. She was so angry that she couldn't go on the fast that she didn't sleep well all night.

Now Xu Liangyuan is nagging me again, which is like pouring fuel on the fire. I am so angry.

This is not the point. The point is what Xu Liangyuan said next, which almost made her vomit blood in anger.

"Oh, by the way, I have another piece of good news to tell you, sister. Shen Fengyi embroidered a sachet and His Highness loved it very much. Today, everyone admired Shen Fengyi. Sister, you should be happy for your younger sister, right?"

Xu Liangyuan and Shen Liangdi knew each other before they entered the palace. There was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and Shen Mingzhu bullied Shen Chuwei a lot.

Shen Chuwei is spoiled, wouldn't Shen Mingzhu be so angry that she vomits blood?

"Sister, please continue with your lunch. I, your younger sister, will go back first."

When Xu Liangyuan left, she walked out of the Buddhist temple with a smile on her face.

As soon as Xu Liangyuan left, Shen Liangdi angrily swept away all the dishes in front of her.

"Shen Chuwei, you actually dared to seduce me while I was away? You are such a shameless person!"

As dinner approached, Eunuch De from the kitchen brought in a fresh sea bass with two young eunuchs.

Eunuch De is an old man in the palace and has seen too many examples of concubines making a comeback. If a concubine who has been sent to a cold palace can catch the attention of the Crown Prince twice, it means that she has a chance to make a comeback.

Chunxi saw that the eunuch De from the lunch room had come in person, and she felt a little flattered. She had not given him a good face several times before when she went to the lunch room...

"Eunuch De, how dare I trouble you to personally deliver dinner."

Shen Chuwei was cracking melon seeds when she saw Eunuch De coming, so she stood up.

Eunuch De took two steps forward and bowed, "My servant greets you, my lady."

Shen Chuwei said, "Eunuch De is polite."

Eunuch De stood up straight, then smiled and said to Chunxi, "As you should." He pointed to the perch in the basin and said, "This is fresh perch. I wonder if you are satisfied with it, young lady?"

Shen Chuwei was so excited when she heard the bass, her wish came true!

She trotted over to the eunuch and looked down to see the perch in the basin, jumping around and looking very fresh.

She smiled and said, "The perch is very good. Please ask Master De to deliver it in person."

Chunxi took out some small change from her sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Eunuch De's pocket.

"You're welcome, my lady." Eunuch De happily accepted it and told the eunuch to send it to the small kitchen.

"I'll take my leave first." Eunuch De left with the young eunuch.

Chunxi looked down at the perch, puzzled: "My lady, why did the lunch room send a fresh perch over?"

Shen Chuwei said proudly: "My wish today is to ask the kitchen to send a fresh sea bass."

Chunxi was shocked, "Master Lu is amazing."

Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement.

Chunxi reacted and was a little excited: "My lady, with such a good opportunity, how could you wish for a fish?"

"What do you want if you don't want fish?"

"I want the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"I was just thinking about grilled fish." She had been craving for it for days.

Chunxi was disappointed that the two could not make each other stronger: "How can grilled fish be as important as the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Shen Chuwei answered as a matter of course: "Grilled fish can relieve hunger."

What can she do if she has a greedy master?

Of course, it’s to kill fish and cook.

"…I will go kill the fish."

Onions, garlic, and scallion leaves are all readily available in the backyard.

There is ready-made space in the baking tray, just clean it and you can use it.

Half an hour later, some baby cabbages and enoki mushrooms were placed on the round table, and the soup in the baking tray was boiling, soon emitting a fragrant aroma.

As soon as Shen Chuwei put the chopsticks in, she heard a "meow."

When she looked down, she saw Xuetuan standing at her feet, looking at her with his chin raised, his deep blue eyes full of anticipation.

"Xuetuan, you came at the right time."
