Shen Chuwei really couldn't bear it this time. She didn't want to be well-read, nor did she want to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She just wanted to eat and drink for free.
Xiao Jinyan raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead, "Why is eating all you think about?"
Shen Chuwei said, "Your Highness, food is the most important thing for the people. People are like iron and rice is like steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. I am still young and growing."
Seeing her aggrieved expression, Xiao Jinyan became bolder.
"Practicing music, chess, calligraphy and painting well won't hinder your eating and growing health."
Shen Chuwei grabbed the hem of her clothes and whispered back, "Your Highness, you don't know that too much pressure will also cause me to not grow taller."
Xiao Jinyan snorted: "What a twisted theory."
Shen Chuwei talked for a long time but it was useless, so he simply used his trump card.
She looked at Xiao Jinyan aggrievedly, tugging at his sleeves with her two small hands, and said pitifully, "Your Highness, I am stupid, can you just turn a blind eye?"
Xiao Jinyan looked at her aggrieved look and said in a slow tone, "There is a reason for me to do this. Anyway, you will thank me for being so strict with you."
Shen Chuwei: "..." As long as you stop being so strict with me, I promise to be grateful for your kindness day and night.
Xiao Jinyan took a pen, dipped it in some ink, put it in Shen Chuwei's hand, then held her hand and got into the right position to hold the pen.
"Come, I will teach you to write some difficult characters today."
Shen Chuwei stared at the hand holding hers. How could she dispel Xiao Jinyan's idea of teaching her music, chess, calligraphy and painting? If he taught her music, chess, calligraphy and painting now, would he let her learn needlework in the future?
Xiao Jinyan noticed that she was distracted and reminded her in a deep voice: "Xiaojiu, be serious."
Shen Chuwei's eyes turned, and she suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, I want to be the Crown Princess."
If a concubine covets the position of the Crown Princess and becomes arrogant because of her favor, the Crown Prince will definitely be angry.
When he got angry, he would scold her, then throw down his pen and leave, never thinking of asking her to learn this or that again.
Xiao Jinyan paused, perhaps a little surprised at her sudden enlightenment. A foodie finally knew how to compete for the Crown Princess.
Seeing Xiao Jinyan's silence, Shen Chuwei chuckled in her heart. See, she got angry when she said she wanted to be the Crown Princess.
Next, the prince scolded her severely, threw down his pen and left without looking back.
"You're quite arrogant." Xiao Jinyan's cold voice showed no emotion.
Shen Chuwei could hear it, and was very angry.
She lowered her eyes and waited for Xiao Jinyan to finish his scolding.
It’s okay, no matter how fierce the attack is, she can handle it. It would be best if she just gets angry and leaves.
Xiao Jinyan said quietly, "You must give me a son or a daughter first."
Shen Chuwei suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan. Maybe she had heard it wrong. What did Xiao Jinyan just say?
Have a child? Ha! They were just sleeping, how could there be a child? How did the prince learn such a fresh and refined saying to shut her up?
Instead of getting angry and scolding her for being unworthy and daring to covet the position of Crown Princess.
She blinked her big, beautiful eyes and tried desperately to organize her words in her mind, "Your Highness, what I meant just now is that being a Crown Princess is not easy, right?"
Xiao Jinyan: "Of course, the Crown Princess is one in a million, not everyone can be qualified."
This way was not feasible, Shen Chuwei simply changed another way. She suddenly had an idea, covered her chest, and groaned uncomfortably: "Your Highness, it hurts so much."
"Why does it hurt?" Xiao Jinyan saw Shen Chuwei covering her chest, and subconsciously thought that she had a recurrence of an old injury. He quickly put down his pen, picked her up horizontally, and strode to the bed.
Shen Chuwei could hardly keep up with Xiao Jinyan's train of thought. She just said her hand hurt, so why did he carry her to the bed?
Before she could figure it out, Xiao Jinyan shouted towards the door: "Call Imperial Doctor Wen over."
Shen Chuwei quickly grabbed his hand and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, why are you taking off my clothes?"
"Aren't you feeling pain in your chest? I'll take a look and see if it's a recurrence of an old injury."
You can't tell anything through his clothes. This injury was suffered by Shen Chuwei for him. If the old injury recurs, it will be no trivial matter.
Shen Chuwei said: "My hand hurts, not my chest."
"..." Xiao Jinyan: "Then why are you covering your heart?"
Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan innocently, "My chest was itchy, and I couldn't help but scratch it twice~"
Xiao Jinyan: "..."
When Imperial Physician Wen came, he took Shen Chuwei's pulse.
Xiao Jinyan asked coldly: "How?"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Imperial Doctor Wen stood up and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with Concubine Shen's health."
Xiao Jinyan asked again: "Then why does her hand hurt?"
Doctor Wen thought for a while and said, "Maybe it was because he was pressed down while sleeping."
Shen Chuwei's hands were hurting, so Xiao Jinyan stopped teaching her calligraphy, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Xiao Jinyan said, "Practice calligraphy after your hand is healed."
Shen Chuwei: “…”
* Shen Chuwei held her chin with both hands, thinking hard about how to make Xiao Jinyan angry and ignore her, while at the same time continuing to eat and drink for free without affecting the supply of food.
Chunxi saw that the young lady looked worried and asked, "Young lady, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Chuwei said: "I am imagining the future."
"Oh." Chunxi seemed to understand. She smiled and said, "My dear, your highness dotes on me so much. My dear, good days are still ahead of me."
Shen Chuwei: "..." Xiao Jinyan is not pampering me, he is clearly abusing me! When Tao Chenghui came, Shen Chuwei was still imagining the future.
Tao Chenghui walked forward with a smile and bowed, "Sister Shen, look what I brought you today."
Shen Chuwei was feeling sleepy, and her sleepiness disappeared several times after hearing this. She curved her eyebrows and asked, "What's delicious?"
"This time it's not cakes, but drinks." Tao Chenghui carried two beautiful and exquisite wine jars and placed them on the low table.
"This is the fruit wine made by my family's winery. It tastes sweet and is very suitable for us girls. The New Year is coming soon, so I sent two jars to my sister to try. If she thinks it tastes good, I will ask my father to send some more next time."
Shen Chuwei became interested when she heard about fruit wine. She opened one of the jars, leaned in to smell it, and it was very fragrant.
Before dinner, Liu Xi came to report: "Shen Liang Di, Your Highness can't come for dinner, please come to Xiyun Pavilion later."
Shen Chuwei's eyes turned, and she suddenly thought of a good way to make Xiao Jinyan angry.
During dinner, Shen Chuwei asked Chunxi to bring a wine glass, opened the jar of wine and poured herself a glass.
After drinking three cups in a row, Chunxi reminded her, "My lady, His Highness is coming to stay tonight. If you drink too much and lose your manners, it will not be good to make His Highness angry."
Shen Chu smiled slightly. This was exactly the effect she wanted.
"This is fruit wine. You won't get drunk if you drink it."
