Chapter 86 His Highness climbed over the wall to borrow something in the middle of the night
"Your Highness, my name is Lu Luo, and I do some odd jobs in Lan Yue Palace." Lu Luo said cautiously.
Xiao Jinyan looked at Lulu for a few seconds. Her willow-leaf eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, and she looked shy and timid, which made her look charming. Her appearance was also average.
"I think you are quite smart. You can go to the bedroom to serve me from today."
Luluo leaned forward and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace."
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Lu Luo. She usually didn't pay attention to her, but today she found that she was quite pretty. Could it be that she deliberately attracted the prince to compete for her favor?
If I had known she had such intentions, I should have sent her to do rough work in the laundry department from the beginning.
Xiao Jinyan: “…”
Shen Mingzhu was now regretting so much that her intestines turned green. She turned her head to look at Xiao Jinyan and asked attentively: "Your Highness, lunch time is almost here, do you want to stay and have dinner with us?"
Xiao Jinyan raised his hand to refuse, "No, I have something else to take care of."
Shen Mingzhu was a little disappointed. It had been more than half a year since the prince came, and he left before he could even sit down.
There are so many women in the East Palace, but only Shen Chuwei is allowed to sleep with him.
Shen Mingzhu widened her eyes, as if she had discovered something terrible. Could it be that His Highness was not good at that?
Xiao Jinyan: “…” His mind is full of dirty thoughts!
Xiao Jinyan almost left without stopping.
Lu Luo followed Liu Xi carefully and walked out of Lan Yue Palace together.
After Lu Luo was brought back to the bedroom, Xiao Jinyan ordered, "Wei Chi, keep an eye on her every move."
Wei Chi clasped his fists and accepted the order: "I obey your command."
Xiao Jinyan then said, "Qin Xiao, send a few people to keep an eye on Lanyue Palace, and arrest anyone suspicious immediately."
Qin Xiao clasped his fists and accepted the order: "I obey your command."
After three days without noticing any unusual movements, Xiao Jinyan lost his patience and left for Xiyun Pavilion.
Shen Chuwei had just finished showering and was drying her hair when she saw Xiao Jinyan push open the door and walk towards her.
When no one is around, Shen Chuwei is used to wearing only a bellyband and shorts.
When Xiao Jinyan came in, he saw Shen Chuwei wearing such cool clothes, her skin was whiter than snow, her cheeks were rosy, and even her usually short legs did not seem as short as he had imagined, but white and straight.
Shen Chuwei pretended to be calm and put on her clothes. As she put them on, she asked, "Your Highness, it's so late, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Jinyan coughed uncomfortably and said, "I want to borrow something from you."
Shen Chuwei looked curious, "What does Your Highness want to borrow?"
Xiao Jinyan leaned close to Shen Chuwei and whispered something in her ear.
Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up, "I have something more realistic than this, do you want it, Your Highness?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Yes."
"Okay."
Shen Chuwei put on her clothes and went to prepare things. After a while, she brought the things to Xiao Jinyan.
"Your Highness, it's done."
Xiao Jinyan took a curious look at the thing in his hand, then looked at Shen Chuwei. The scene he just saw appeared in his mind. He looked away awkwardly, "Then I'll go back."
Shen Chuwei frowned, "Good night, Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused when he heard this. He remembered that "good night" meant "I like you". "I understand."
After saying this, he left Xiyun Pavilion.
Shen Chu shrugged slightly, picked up the towel and continued to wipe his hair.
*
Ever since several maids and servants came to Xiyun Pavilion, Chunxi also became the head maid, and Shen Chuwei and Chunxi no longer needed to help with many tasks.
For example, building a chicken coop.
"Bigger. The chicken coop can't be too small."
Shen Chuwei was the supervisor, directing the little rabbits to do their work.
Chunxi brought a cloak and put it on her, "My lady, it's windy outside, you should go back to the house to avoid catching a cold."
Shen Chuwei said without even thinking: "Let's have cold mixed vermicelli for dinner. I haven't had it for a long time."
Chunxi has been following Shen Chuwei for quite some time and often cannot keep up with her pace. She never even mentioned whether the food was good or not, right?
"…I will do it now."
"Oh, and some bacon and ham sausage, with some green peppers."
Chunxi nodded, "I'll write it down."
"Shen Liangdi, it's windy outside, why are you here?"
Shen Chuwei turned her head and looked behind her, and saw Liu Xi walking towards her with a kind smile on his face.
"What's the matter with you, Eunuch Liu?"
Liu Xi said happily, "Shen Liang Di, His Highness invites you to have dinner together. You must prepare well. This kind of favor is not enjoyed by other ladies."
Shen Chuwei said: "Don't worry, Eunuch Liu, I will prepare well."
"Then I'll go back and report." Liu Xi smiled faintly and turned away.
Shen Chuwei patted Chunxi's shoulder and said, "This mission is handed over to you. You can't let His Highness down."
Chunxi nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, my lady. I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some fresh flower petals. After you take a bath, your body will be filled with the fragrance of flowers. I guarantee that His Highness will be completely enchanted."
Shen Chuwei said earnestly: "Chunxi, His Highness doesn't like these empty things. We need to show our sincerity. Food can really show my sincerity. Do you understand?"
Chunxi felt that it was unreliable no matter how she listened to it, "...My lady, why do I feel that you are doing this just to satisfy your own appetite?"
Shen Chu smiled to cover up the embarrassment, "It's all the same!"
Chunxi sighed and turned around to prepare the so-called sincerity~
When it was time to light the lamps, Shen Chuwei went to the prince's bedroom with full "sincerity".
When she arrived, the maids were bringing meals to the table one after another. The prince's meals were always very good, but tonight's dishes were almost something she had never seen before.
Shen Chuwei stepped forward and bowed: "May your highness be blessed with good health."
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Chuwei lifted her skirt and sat down on the round stool. She looked at the food box in Chunxi's hand and said, "Your Highness, I brought two dishes for you to try."
Chunxi picked up the food box, opened the lid, took out the two dishes inside and placed them on the round table, then stepped aside with the food box.
Xiao Jinyan's eyes fell on the two dishes. He was familiar with both dishes, vermicelli with bacon, but the cooking methods were different.
Shen Chuwei picked up the serving chopsticks, reached into the plate, picked up a piece of ham sausage and put it into the bowl in front of Xiao Jinyan. She smiled and said, "Your Highness, try this."
Xiao Jinyan looked at the food in the bowl that he had never seen before. He picked up the ham sausage with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste it. The first thing he tasted was the taste of bacon. He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei, "What kind of meat is this?"
Shen Chuwei picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. While eating, he said, "Your Highness, this is ham sausage. How does it taste?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Not bad."
Shen Chuwei has always been very fast at eating, and now that she has become familiar with Xiao Jinyan, she is no longer so cautious.
Chunxi looked at her young mistress and shook her head helplessly. She no longer had any hope in her.
She noticed a maid standing next to her. She looked a little older than her and had a pretty appearance.
She remembered that His Highness didn't have any maids to serve him before, so how come he suddenly has one?
Xiao Jinyan, who was having a meal, suddenly vomited blood. The bright red blood stained the ground, shocking everyone present.
