Xiao Jinyan did not answer but asked: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Shen Chu slightly curved her eyebrows and said, "I am just curious."

"In my study." Xiao Jinyan's voice was cold.

Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. Xiao Jinyan didn't eat it? And he even put it in the study...

At this moment, Shen Chuwei was even more grateful that she had resisted the urge to eat the dough figurine. Otherwise, if Xiao Jinyan asked her for one, where would she get him an identical dough figurine?

She put the dough figurine back into the white jade bottle guiltily. In fact, the dough figurine was still very cute.

Xiao Jinyan placed the cage on the table and motioned for her to come over and open it, "Come and see what this is?"

"Okay." Shen Chuwei walked briskly to the table, lifted the black cloth, and saw six little ducks, as if she saw a group of ducks. She happily put down the black cloth and looked up at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, where did you pick this up?"

Seeing that she was happy, Xiao Jinyan praised her in his heart, saying that his brother was very good at picking things.

"Jinyu sent it to me. I don't know where he picked it up."

"Prince Yu is quite knowledgeable." Shen Chuwei praised generously, looking down at the ducks and said, "Six little ducks are just right to keep the six little chickens company."

Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly: "What did you say? Is this a duck?"

Shen Chu nodded, "Yes, this is the duck when it was young. When it grows up, it will be bigger than a chicken."

"..." Xiao Jinyan asked again: "Were those six chickens last time?"

Shen Chuwei still nodded, staring at Xiao Jinyan in confusion, "Your Highness, don't you know that they are chickens and ducks?"

Xiao Jinyan was stunned by the question. He had never seen chicks or ducklings before, so naturally he didn't recognize them.

Shen Chuwei touched his nose. How could he, a prince, have ever seen poultry? She tugged at Xiao Jinyan's black sleeve and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to go see the chickens?"

Xiao Jinyan hadn't seen the six little guys for a long time, so he nodded, "Yeah."

Shen Chuwei brought Xiao Jinyan all the way to the chicken coop. When passing the fish pond, Xiao Jinyan looked at it puzzledly, thinking that Shen Chuwei was planning to grow lotus flowers herself, so he didn't think much about it.

Arriving at the chicken coop, the first thing Xiao Jinyan saw was a fence. When he got closer, he glanced inside and did not see the six little guys of different colors. Instead, there were six more species that he did not recognize. It was not difficult to guess that these were the six little guys he had sent there.

An unpleasant smell hit him in the face. He covered his nose and asked Shen Chuwei, "Are these the six I gave you?"

Shen Chuwei said: "Yes, the chick has grown up and the down has fallen off, that's what it looks like."

Xiao Jinyan frowned, turned around and left the chicken coop. If he had known that the six little guys would grow up to be like this, he would never send them to Xiyun Pavilion.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Xiao Guizi and the others clean the place every day, so the smell isn't that bad." Shen Chuwei felt pretty good. Maybe it was because Xiao Jinyan had mysophobia, so any slight smell would be infinitely magnified by him.

Xiao Jinyan thought about it all the way, and when he returned to the house, he made a decision: "Xiyun Pavilion can't keep these things. What will it look like? Let them take the chickens out later."

When Shen Chuwei heard that Xiao Jinyan was going to take the chick away, she thought that the duckling that had just been delivered might not be saved either. In excitement, she grabbed Xiao Jinyan's hand and cried miserably.

"Your Highness, this is a gift from you to me. How can you just take it away like that?"

Xiao Jinyan had made up his mind, "How can we keep these things at home? We must take them away."

Shen Chuwei squeezed out two tears desperately, "Your Highness, these are the tokens of love you gave to me, how can you move them away?"

Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a moment, "A token of love?"

Shen Chuwei blinked her beautiful big eyes, "Isn't it?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at the two crystal drops in Shen Chuwei's eyes hanging on her eyelashes, about to fall, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

Xiao Jinyan looked at the duckling in the cage. It didn't look ugly now, but who knows what it will look like when it grows up? "Your Highness, how can you take back something you gave away? Even if it's not a token of love, it was given to me by Your Highness, and I like it very much." Shen Chuwei said aggrievedly.

Xiao Jinyan wanted to call Xiao Jinyu over and give her a lecture. What did he bring? A noble concubine, she could just grow vegetables, but she actually raised chickens and ducks? "They will grow up one day." The implication was that cuteness was only temporary.

Shen Chuwei said: "You can eat it when it grows up."

Xiao Jinyan thought for a while. When he grew up, he would eat them up and they would be gone. After he finished eating them, he would never allow anyone to send these things to Xiyun Pavilion.

He coughed lightly and said, "You are only allowed to keep these. No one is allowed to send these things in the future."

Shen Chuwei curved her eyebrows happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."

As long as she had them, she would have endless chickens and ducks to eat, so it didn't matter whether she gave them away or not.

But later, Xiao Jinyan found that he could never eat all the chickens and ducks in the chicken coop. Often in the middle of the night, when he was in high spirits, a rooster would crow at the top of its lungs, disturbing his interest.

If Shen Chuwei hadn't stopped him, Xiao Jinyan would have picked up his sword and slaughtered the only rooster as a snack.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

If the rooster is gone, it will be extinct. Shen Chuwei is willing to sacrifice his life to protect it!

Xiao Jinyan looked at the fair and delicate little face and his expression changed from gloomy to bright. It was just a few chickens. What was the big deal?

"Are you almost done reading the book? Tomorrow the Imperial Palace will ask Liu Xi to send the remaining books over."

The smile that Shen Chuwei had just raised slowly disappeared. She thought Xiao Jinyan had forgotten about this, but it turns out he remembered it?

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to handle it well?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

Shen Chuwei drooped her shoulders. She could imagine her future life. How could a poor person be forced to turn over a new leaf?

Xiao Jinyan didn't see Shen Chuwei's look of despair, but said: "You are the most suitable one in this East Palace, do you understand?"

There are so many women around him, but none of them suits his taste.

Only Shen Chuwei in front of them was different from them.

She really didn't fight or compete, and she never scolded him.

...I don't know even if I scold him~

In short, no one was more suitable than her to help him manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace.

Shen Chuwei smiled awkwardly but politely, "Prince, I really don't understand~"

There are so many women in the East Palace, why did you choose me? Just tell me, can't I change my mind?

Seeing her so worried, Xiao Jinyan thought of a possibility, "Are you afraid of the queen? Afraid that she will put pressure on you?"

Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up. She was just worrying about having no excuses. You thought of it for me. She nodded in agreement, not forgetting to flatter me. "Your Highness is wise. I know that I am smart but stupid, and I am not loved by the Queen."
