Unfortunately, Shen Chuwei is extremely protective of her food.
"The strawberries are fresh, juicy, sweet, crunchy, and taste super delicious. Do you understand, Sister Xu?"
Chunxi was wiping the decorations in the room. When she heard the conversation between the two people, she couldn't help but laugh secretly.
She understood the meaning behind Xu Liangyuan's words and deliberately did not remind her.
Xu Liangyuan was so angry that she died. Who asked her to come and laugh at the young master?
Xu Liangyuan was almost vomiting blood in anger. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and deliberately said sarcastically, "Sister, do you still have the heart to eat? You were kicked out by His Highness this time. It will be difficult for you to see His Highness next time."
Shen Chuwei took two bites of the strawberry, and Xu Liangyuan couldn't ignore the crisp sound even if she wanted to.
"Strawberries are so delicious, how can you not want to eat them?"
Anyone who sees Shen Chuwei eating will have a strong appetite.
Xu Liangyuan glanced at the strawberries in her hand. Are they so delicious? "Does Sister see His Highness often?"
Shen Chuwei just asked casually, but it made Xu Liangyuan very angry.
Don’t you know how often we see each other?
Who in the palace doesn’t have a news channel?
You are right, Shen Chuwei is a nobody and has no channels for information.
No interest, no money.
Xu Liangyuan wanted to continue to make fun of him, but before she could finish her words, she heard Shen Fengyi yawn, "I've finished eating the strawberries, it's time for a nap."
Xu Liangyuan looked at the empty fruit plate. All the strawberries had been eaten. Was she born in the Year of the Pig? Chunxi came over, cleaned up the fruit plate, and left.
Xu Liangyuan originally came to see Shen Fengyi make fun of himself, but ended up leaving in a rage.
As soon as she left Xiyun Pavilion, Xu Liangyuan rolled her eyes. What the hell, isn't it just strawberries? What else can't she eat? Xu Liangyuan is the legitimate daughter of General Xu. She has been arrogant and domineering since she was a child. She must eat strawberries.
After she returned, she drew a blueprint and asked her family to help her find it.
Three days later
Xu Liangyuan looked at the basket of strawberries sent by her parents with pride, and was extremely happy. "Caixia, go wash some. I want to try some."
Caixia walked out with the basket, and soon came back with a plate of cleaned strawberries, "My lady, they are already clean."
Xu Liangyuan looked at the strawberries in the fruit plate. They were very small, and their surface was not as fresh and smooth as the ones Shen Fengyi ate.
“Why are these strawberries so small?”
Caixia also felt something strange when she was washing it. She guessed, "Maybe it's a little strawberry?"
Little strawberry? Xu Liangyuan knew her parents wouldn't lie to her, so she picked one up curiously and put it in her mouth. After chewing it for a few times and feeling the bitter taste in her mouth, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and spit it out.
Caixia hurriedly brought water for Xu Liangyuan to rinse her mouth, "My lady, could it be that Madam made a mistake?"
Xu Liangyuan was also a little skeptical, "Take this thing and ask, what is it?"
After several inquiries, I learned that this was not a strawberry but a snakeberry.
Xu Liangyuan originally wanted to show off, but she didn't expect to make herself so sick that she couldn't even eat.
Xiyun Pavilion
Shen Chuwei lay on the couch, staring at the tree in the yard for a long time. The branches were thick and lush.
"Chunxi, look at that tree in the yard. It's so lonely."
If I plant another litchi tree I won’t be lonely anymore.
Chunxi thought she was looking forward to the Crown Prince coming over, "My lady, it's almost time for lunch, how about you personally fry a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes for His Highness? Maybe His Highness will be happy and you can even sleep with him."
Because scrambled eggs with tomatoes are super delicious and go really well with rice.
Speaking of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Shen Chuwei hasn't eaten it for a while because the first batch of tomatoes was eaten and the second batch should be cooked by then.
"...Okay." The master wants to eat, how can she refuse?
Shen Chuwei had a delicious lunch and then had a good sleep.
After half a month of salted fish
Shen Chuwei touched her belly that day and said with a worried look on her face: "Chunxi, I've lost weight."
"You spend all your time eating and sleeping. If you tell others about this, you will be attacked. Do you know that?"
Which woman in the palace didn't eat less and less to keep in shape? Some even danced every day to lose weight, fearing that they would be disliked if they got fat.
Shen Chuwei actually disliked that she was thin~ Shen Chuwei thought her hint was obvious, but Chunxi didn't hear it, so she just said directly: "I want to eat meat."
She hasn't eaten meat for a long time and almost forgot what it tastes like.
Chunxi then realized that his master was greedy.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
...Okay, she went to the imperial kitchen to ask if she could bring back some fresh meat.
Chunxi touched her purse. She hadn't received her monthly salary for three months. Money makes the world go round. Without the Crown Prince's favor and without subsidies from her mother's family, the imperial kitchen probably wouldn't be in a good mood.
Chunxi went to the imperial kitchen.
"Eunuch Qian, Xiyun Pavilion hasn't seen meat for a while. I want to take some fresh meat back."
Eunuch Qian was in a dilemma. "Miss Chunxi, we are all following the rules. We can't break the rules, right? If someone blames us, we can't afford it!"
Chunxi wanted to say a few more words, but then she saw Eunuch Qian walk in without looking back, so she had to leave.
As soon as Chunxi came back from outside, Shen Chuwei pulled her to the lotus pond in the East Palace Garden.
Chunxi held up a lotus leaf to shade her mistress from the sun to prevent her from getting sunburned.
She looked at the motionless water and the fishing line without bait, and was a little worried: "My dear, will there be any fish on the hook?"
Shen Chuwei said proudly: "I am a fishing expert, of course there will be fish to bite, just wait and eat the fish."
Xiao Jinyan had just returned to the palace when he passed by the garden and saw a petite figure beside the lotus pond. He recognized it as Shen Chuwei at a glance.
"Has Shen Fengyi come to see me recently?"
"Your Highness, Shen Fengyi has never come to see you, but Chang Liangdi, Xu Liangyuan and others often come to see you." Eunuch Liu replied respectfully.
A hint of doubt flashed across Xiao Jinyan's cold eyes. That night, Shen Chuwei was eager to sleep with the emperor and gain favor. After failing once, how could it be possible that she had never had the chance without being confined to the emperor?
"You wait here." Xiao Jinyan walked towards the rockery with doubts.
Chunxi felt a little sorry for his master who had to go fishing in the scorching sun just to eat meat.
She held a lotus leaf in one hand and a handkerchief in the other to wipe the sweat from her master's forehead.
"My dear, you have the skills to fish, why don't you try to please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's favor, not only can he get you anything that swims in the water, but even anything that runs on the ground or flies in the sky."
Shen Chuwei held up his chin, "Your Highness has so many women, it's easy for your kidneys to be deficient, so, for the sake of your health, I won't join in the fun."
Chunxi: “…” My aunt, really any words can come out of your mouth.
Xiao Jinyan: "..." Should I thank you again? "The fish is about to take the bait."
"Where?"
Chunxi looked left and right but didn't see any fish.
The next second, a fresh fish jumped out of the water and onto the shore. The fish was pitch black and was jumping on the bluestone slabs.
Chunxi was stunned. The fish came up by itself? Xiao Jinyan was also stunned when he saw the fish jumping around on the ground. Is this possible? Shen Chuwei saw that it was a black fish and said excitedly, "Chunxi, we have pickled fish tonight."
