Chunxi looked up and saw His Highness. She was so scared that she immediately knelt down, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Your Highness the Crown Prince? Shen Chuwei held the fish in both hands and turned around in confusion. Seeing Xiao Jinyan standing behind her, she bowed and saluted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, may you be blessed with good health."

Before he finished speaking, the fish in his hand suddenly jumped out, and the black fish body with a fishy smell flew towards Xiao Jinyan.

"Your Highness... Be careful..."

Shen Chuwei was quick to grab Xiao Jinyan and pull him away.

The chubby fish fell heavily to the ground and fainted from the weight.

Shen Chuwei's heart finally settled down. Hitting the prince was no joke.

Xiao Jinyan looked coldly at the person holding him. The hand covered with fishy smell was holding his waist. The strong fishy smell surrounded his nose. He endured the nausea and said coldly: "Let me go quickly."

Shen Chuwei then noticed that in her panic she was hugging not Xiao Jinyan's arm but his waist. She raised her head and saw Xiao Jinyan's disdainful eyes. She let go of her hand and immediately took several steps back.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the fishing rod on the ground and asked, "Who allowed you to fish here?"

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan with her clear and bright eyes and pointed at the lotus pond. "Your Highness, there is no sign prohibiting fishing by the lotus pond."

Xiao Jinyan: "..."

Chunxi tugged at Shen Chuwei's sleeve and said, "My aunt, how can you speak to His Highness like this?"

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong." Shen Chuwei sighed secretly. After all, he is the prince!

Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei for a long time and felt strange. The mind reading skill was obviously useful last time, so why didn’t it work this time?

Thinking that his mother would still want to see him, he didn't plan to waste time.

“Go back!”

Shen Chuwei pointed at the black fish that had fainted on the ground and said, "Your Highness, can I take that fish away?"

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the black fish on the ground and remembered that the last time she made a wish, she also wanted fish.

I haven't seen him for more than half a month, but I just want to take this dead fish away? "Okay."

"Your Highness, you are so kind." Shen Chuwei curved her eyebrows, bent down, picked up the fish and put it into the bucket, then bowed to Xiao Jinyan, "I'll take my leave."

Chunxi carried the bucket and followed Shen Chuwei back to Xiyun Pavilion.

Xiao Jinyan stood there watching Shen Chuwei's back as she left. She had a very satisfied expression on her face when she was catching fish just now. If she hadn't pretended to fall down and wanted to throw herself into his arms that night, it would be hard to suspect that Shen Chuwei's behavior was playing hard to get.

Eunuch Liu came over and reminded carefully: "Your Highness, the Queen is still waiting."

"Go back and change your clothes first." Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and strode back to the East Palace.

After changing into clean clothes, she went to Fengyi Palace.

When she arrived, the queen was eating donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest. Both donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest are beauty products.

The queen was almost forty years old, but she looked like a woman in her twenties, with smooth and elastic skin. She wore delicate makeup and a bright red phoenix robe, looking elegant and luxurious.

Xiao Jinyan stepped forward and saluted, "I, your son, greet you, mother."

The queen put down the glass cup in her hand and said gently, "Jin'er, sit down and talk first."

"Yes, mother." Xiao Jinyan sat down as she was told.

The palace maid came forward to serve tea, then lowered her head and retreated.

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Mother, did you ask me to come here? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"You've been married for half a year, how come there's no news? Look, the second prince married later than you, and he's already got good news."

The queen appears gentle and noble on the surface, but in her heart she is roaring, "I want to hold my grandson!" The concubine Yun next door already has a grandson, and the concubine Duan behind her has also become a grandmother...

He shows off in front of her all day long, which makes her angry.

The women in the Eastern Palace were all handpicked by the Empress Dowager, and he didn't like any of them. Just because he didn't like them, he let his mother take care of everything.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes, not showing it even though he was unhappy about this matter.

As the mistress of the six palaces, the Queen had heard something about what was going on in the Eastern Palace.

"What's the point of saying you're working hard? You have to let them sleep with you. Lan'er is gentle and virtuous. You should get in touch with her more." Hurry up and have a baby. Your father had several children when he was your age! Xiao Jinyan's face was calm, and he replied calmly: "Chang Liangdi's health has not improved since she fell into the water. The imperial physician recommends that she rest more."

The queen frowned. It was all Shen Fengyi's fault that Lan'er fell into the water and became seriously ill, but her son did not severely punish Shen Fengyi.

She looked at her son's cold appearance, which was not as lively and lovable as her younger son.

"Then it's Shen Liangdi."

"Shen Liangdi is fasting in the Buddhist temple."

“…”

"That Xu Liangyuan, she's lovely and she's the legitimate daughter of General Xu."

Without waiting for her son to speak, she said, "Please leave. I am tired."

Xiao Jinyan stood up and said, "I'll take my leave."

Walking out of Fengyi Palace, Xiao Jinyan's face looked a little gloomy. He knew that his mother liked his younger brother Xiao Jinyu.

After all, Xiao Jinyu was raised by her.

In the afternoon, Xu Liangyuan received news from the Queen that she would be sleeping with the Queen tonight and was asked to prepare well.

She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, and proudly ordered: "Caixia, take out the best cream and fresh rose petals. I want to look beautiful when I meet His Highness."

"Congratulations, young lady, for finally getting what you wished for." Caixia went to prepare happily.

"My lady, I heard that as soon as His Highness returned to the East Palace today, Shen Fengyi couldn't wait to throw himself into his arms. However, His Highness didn't take her seriously and only fell in love with My Lady." Xiao Fuzi smiled ingratiatingly.

Xu Liangyuan happily adjusted the pearl flower on her temples and smiled arrogantly, "She still has the nerve to come out and compete for favor? Doesn't she even consider whether she is worthy of it?"

* Eunuch Liu came in and asked, "Your Highness, there is news from Yixiang Palace that Xu Liangyuan wants to have dinner with Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan clenched the book in his hand and frowned, suddenly remembering the scene in the lotus pond this morning, when Shen Chuwei caught fish with his bare hands and looked very satisfied.

"Okay, go ask Shen Fengyi to come over for dinner."

"Yes." After Eunuch Liu left, he went to Xiyun Pavilion first.

When Eunuch Liu arrived, Shen Chuwei was just about to have dinner.

Chunxi saw Eunuch Liu coming forward to greet him, "What's the matter, Eunuch Liu?"

Eunuch Liu smiled and looked at Shen Chuwei, "Miss Shen, His Highness wants you to come over for dinner."

Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up when she heard that. His Highness's food is hundreds of times better than what she got at Xiyun Pavilion. Of course, she would go, and she would go now.

"Okay, let's go now."

Eunuch Liu: "My lady, it's now."

Shen Chuwei stood up and walked a few steps before coming back. She pointed at the fried tomato and eggs on the table and asked Eunuch Liu, "Can I take this fried tomato and eggs with me?"

Eunuch Liu looked at the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table. He only knew eggs. He hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded with a smile: "Miss Shen, please do as you please."

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu." Shen Chuwei thanked him, and Chunxi then picked up the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and followed Eunuch Liu all the way to the prince's bedroom.

As soon as I stepped into the prince's bedroom, I ran into Xu Liangyuan.

Shen Chuwei was of low rank, so he bowed when he saw Xu Liangyuan.

Xu Liangyuan saw Shen Fengyi and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"

Good night! 　　I'm begging for your recommendation votes by acting cute!
