Shen Chuwei replied: "I will accompany His Highness to dinner."

Xu Liangyuan raised her chin and looked at Shen Chuwei arrogantly, "Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but there should be a limit to competing for favors. Otherwise, if you annoy His Highness, it won't be as simple as being kicked out, but being locked up in Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Shen Chuwei replied: "Thank you for your advice, sister. I promise to only eat and do nothing else."

Xu Liangyuan: "..." They all rushed to accompany His Highness for dinner, but it still doesn't count? Will it count only after climbing into bed? Eunuch Liu stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Miss Xu, His Highness the Crown Prince asked Miss Shen to come with him for dinner. The two ladies should go in first, it's not good to keep His Highness waiting for too long."

Xu Liangyuan snorted, flicked her handkerchief and walked in first.

Shen Chuwei also followed in.

At the dining table, the palace maids brought the food to the table one after another.

Xiao Jinyan was wearing a plain gold-woven robe and a jade-studded brocade belt around his waist. He sat there quietly, looking dignified and arrogant.

When they arrived at the dining table, the two of them came forward to greet each other.

"May your highness be blessed with good health."

Xiao Jinyan raised her eyes slightly and said calmly, "No need to be polite. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Liangyuan wanted to sit next to the prince, but when she walked over, she found a cat on the chair staring at her, which scared her so much that she took several steps back.

This is the prince's beloved pet, Xuetuan. She is very fierce. Last time, she tore her favorite dress and almost scratched her delicate skin.

In order to avoid being caught again, she had to sit farther away.

Shen Chuwei didn't want to sit with Xiao Jinyan as it would hinder her eating speed. Her eyes fell on the position between Xu Liangyuan and Xuetuan, which was just right.

She walked over and sat down. She originally wanted to play with the snowballs, but had to give up because Xiao Jinyan was there.

Xuetuan called out to Shen Chuwei: "Meow."

Xu Liangyuan raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth and laughed secretly, "Shen Fengyi, why do you have to sit here when you can sit anywhere else? It will be a good show to watch when the cat goes crazy later."

Shen Chuwei tilted his head to look at Xuetuan, and the hand under the table made a greeting gesture towards Xuetuan.

Xiao Jinyan's cold gaze swept across Xu Liangyuan and fell on Shen Chuwei, just in time to see her greeting her beloved pet with curved eyebrows and a sweet smile.

Compared to other women's smiles, hers is purer and more pleasing to the eye.

Shen Chuwei looked at the table full of delicacies in front of her and felt a little greedy. On the way here, Chunxi repeatedly reminded her that she had to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to start eating first, so she had to endure it.

Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze, "You are hungry too, have dinner."

Although they said that, they were all waiting for the prince to start eating first.

When Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan eating a piece of diced meat, she immediately picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat. Chunxi poked her arm and she immediately understood what Chunxi meant.

She opened the lid, took out the tomato scrambled eggs and placed them in front of Xiao Jinyan, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I brought you some tomato scrambled eggs, would you like to try it?"

Xu Liangyuan glanced at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a look of disgust.

How dare you use something like this to win favor?

If Your Highness can eat this, I will take your surname.

Xiao Jinyan raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I'll try it."

"Okay." Shen Chuwei happily placed the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in front of Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan stared at the fried tomato and eggs in front of him. It was something he had never seen before. Even so, he still picked up a piece of fried tomato and eggs with the silver chopsticks, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Xiao Jinyan was born in an imperial family. She has an elegant and noble appearance and is very beautiful.

Shen Chuwei waited until he finished eating before asking, "Your Highness, is it delicious?"

Shen Chuwei curved her eyebrows and said that she would be rewarded for taking a bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. This was much easier than competing for favor.

She stood up and bowed, "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan: "No need to be polite, just continue eating."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Chuwei sat back on the round stool, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. There were many dishes on the table that she loved, such as lion's head and braised spareribs...

Xu Liangyuan watched Shen Fengyi flirting with His Highness, while the hand under the table tightly grasped the handkerchief.

Trying to seduce His Highness during dinner, how shameless! Xiao Jinyan's originally unhappy mood suddenly became much happier, and he ate his dinner slowly.

Eunuch Ren came in with the young eunuch, bowed first, then took the wine on the tray and placed it on the table, "Your Highness, this is the wine sent by the Queen to entertain you."

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the wine jug on the table and ordered, "Fill it up for me."

"Yes." Eunuch Liu picked up the wine jug and filled the wine glass in front of His Highness.

In front of Eunuch Ren, Xiao Jinyan picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Your Highness, I'll take my leave." Eunuch Ren then smiled and left.

Seeing that the wine glass was empty, Xu Liangyuan stood up and took the wine pot with a smile, "Your Highness, I will fill it for you."

Xiao Jinyan ignored her. He looked at Shen Chuwei and saw her chewing on the ribs with her head down. Her mouth was so small, but she ate five ribs in just a short while.

He also secretly picked up a piece for Xuetuan ~ Xuetuan never eats food fed by others, but it would eat the food fed by Shen Chuwei.

Xu Liangyuan sat down and saw Shen Fengyi chewing pork ribs with his head down. She put a piece of vegetable into her mouth, took a small bite, and chewed it slowly.

She looked up at the prince, then picked up the serving chopsticks and put a piece of venison on the plate in front of the prince. "Your Highness, please try the venison."

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the glass of wine and venison in front of him, and said indifferently: "I don't like venison."

Xu Liangyuan's face froze, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart, what does the kitchen do? Knowing that the prince doesn't like venison, they still prepare venison to make her look bad? "Then I'll pick up another dish for you." Xu Liangyuan stood up and picked up the chopsticks to continue picking up.

Xiao Jinyan refused coldly: "No need."

Xu Liangyuan was embarrassed and unwilling, she said softly: "Then I will pour you some wine."

She picked up the wine jug and was about to pour the wine, but found that the glass was full and the prince had not drunk any wine.

Shen Chuwei had almost finished the pork ribs and lion's head in front of her, and the bones next to her had piled up into a small hill. She looked up at the venison, but because it was a bit far away, she stood up with chopsticks, picked up a piece of venison, then immediately sat down and continued to gnaw, not noticing that the atmosphere had become awkward.

Chunxi was so embarrassed that she wanted to scratch the wall. My lady, don't just focus on eating, learn from Xu Liangyuan.

Xu Liangyuan sat down awkwardly. Seeing Shen Fengyi eating happily, she felt unhappy.

"Sister, don't just focus on eating. Are you going to toast His Highness?"

Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, and asked carefully: "Your Highness, I can't drink much, can I not drink?"

She gets drunk easily, and her friends say that she doesn't drink well. If she gets drunk and annoys His Highness, she will be the one in trouble.

It’s better not to drink it.

Xiao Jinyan said: "Okay."

Shen Chu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and put another piece of venison into the bowl.

Xu Liangyuan rolled her eyes and pretended to be pitiful to win the sympathy of His Highness. How shameless.

"Since Xu Liangyuan likes to drink," Xiao Jinyan ordered, "Eunuch Liu, fill Xu Liangyuan's glass."
