Shen Chuwei lamented that ancient dresses were troublesome, they were long and big, and she was going to fall flat on her face this time.

The expected pain did not come, instead I fell into a warm embrace.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw a handsome face, looking at her gloomily.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, how fast Xiao Jinyan was. He was five meters away just now, but in the blink of an eye he was in front of her and caught her.

Shen Chuwei smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness, you are here."

Xiao Jinyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief after catching the talent. Seeing that she was still smiling, his voice deepened: "You are fine, why are you climbing the wall?"

"Your Highness, I am just curious and want to take a look."

"What's so good up there?"

Shen Chu blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan with admiration, "Your Highness, you are so amazing. You actually caught me with your bare hands and saved me from the fate of a dog chewing mud."

Shen Chuwei started to flatter people to divert attention.

Xiao Jinyan was very pleased with this sentence, especially when he saw the admiring look in Shen Chuwei's clear eyes.

He pretended to be deep and said, "Speak properly, don't talk about dogs or cats."

"Your Highness is right. It is I who am vulgar."

Seeing that Shen Chuwei had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, Xiao Jinyan didn't say anything else. He held her in his arms and strode into the house.

Guixiang and the others walked away, covering their faces in surprise, "Your Highness is so fond of you."

Chunxi saw it and raised her chin and said, "Our young master is loved by everyone and flowers bloom when they see her. Your Highness likes her and of course she will be doted on."

The two of them came under the eaves as they talked.

Guixiang looked at Chunxi expectantly: "Chunxi, you said that the Guanyin of the White Horse Temple is so effective, so will the young lady have a baby soon?"

Chunxi also looked expectant, "Of course, the Guanyin of the White Horse Temple is the most effective."

The two thought that the people in the room couldn't hear them talking, but in fact, not only did they hear it, but they heard it very clearly.

The two looked at each other and were both stunned.

Shen Chuwei quickly retracted her gaze, and so did Chunxi and Guixiang. They chatted about these gossips without moving away. It would be so embarrassing if the parties involved heard them! She and Xiao Jinyan were just sleeping at night. No matter how powerful the Guanyin of the White Horse Temple was, could she stuff a baby into her belly out of thin air? Xiao Jinyan had no children, and he didn't have time to think about these things now. He didn't know how many eyes were staring at him, so he didn't dare to relax at all.

"I have to go out for a while. Don't neglect your studies these days. I will check when I come back."

Shen Chuwei drooped his shoulders. Even if he left school and traveled to ancient times, he could not escape the fate of doing homework. What a pity!

She raised her head and said boldly, "Your Highness, I don't want to learn music, chess, calligraphy, or painting."

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Are you afraid you won't be able to learn it?"

She would not be stupid enough to say that she couldn't do it, giving Xiao Jinyan the opportunity to learn the tone of her former head teacher to motivate herself.

"Your Highness, the ancients said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. I want to be a virtuous woman."

Xiao Jinyan paused, "What a twisted theory."

Shen Chu curled her lips slightly, "I am only telling the truth."

Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei's childish face for a while, and recalled what Lu Zhaoyan said two days ago.

"What if I want you to be a woman of both virtue and talent?"

Shen Chuwei thought about it and decided to tell the truth, "Your Highness, there are so many women in the East Palace, can't you just pick one who is both virtuous and talented? Why do you have to embarrass me?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't expect Shen Chuwei to say this to him. Let him pick one in the East Palace? Do you think I'm buying vegetables? Pick one! But she is smart in learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so why is it difficult?

Shen Chuwei lowered her eyes and admitted her mistake, "Your Highness, I didn't mean it."

If it wasn't intentional, could it be deliberate? Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly, "Are you sure you want me to find someone else?"

Shen Chu nodded slightly, "I am stupid and will only cause Your Highness to waste his time and energy."

Xiao Jinyan stared at her for a while, flicked his sleeves, and left Xiyun Pavilion without looking back.

Seeing the people leaving, Shen Chuwei opened her mouth and said, "I wish Your Highness a safe journey..."

The slender figure had disappeared at the door.

Shen Chuwei sighed helplessly, "Xiao Jinyan seems angry..."

Chunxi came in with tea, only to find that His Highness was no longer in the room. She looked at Shen Chuwei in confusion, "My Lady, why did His Highness leave? Isn't he staying for dinner?"

"I'm not staying." Shen Chuwei sat on the couch with his knees bent, sighed, saw the chestnut cake on the plate, picked up a piece, sighed again, and then took a bite of the chestnut cake.

Chunxi put down the tea in his hand, listened to the young lady sighing continuously, and realized that something was wrong.

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

She looked over worriedly, "What's wrong, young lady? Is His Highness mean to you again?"

Shen Chuwei shook his head, "He wasn't mean to me."

Chunxi looked puzzled, "Why does the young lady always sigh? Is she greedy?"

Shen Chuwei sighed, "Let's have braised pork elbow tonight!"

Chunxi felt distressed when she heard Shen Chuwei's sigh, and nodded readily, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

At dinner, Shen Chuwei took a bite of the braised pork elbow and sighed again.

Chunxi heard Shen Chuwei sigh again and couldn't help but start to worry: "My lady, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Chuwei said meaningfully: "The pork elbow in soy sauce is still the best."

Chunxi: "..." My dear, you are exclaiming that the braised pork elbow is delicious~

* Liu Xi pushed open the door and walked in, seeing Xiao Jinyan sitting in front of the desk. He had served the prince for several years, and he could tell from the prince's face that he was in a bad mood and even showed signs of being angry.

Liu Xi asked cautiously: "Your Highness, Xiyun Pavilion has made braised pork elbows tonight, would you like some..."

Xiao Jinyan said in a deep voice: "When did this palace like to eat braised pork elbow? If I don't go to Xiyun Pavilion, this palace will not be able to have dinner? Liu Xi was startled and lowered his head even more, "That's not what I meant."

Xiao Jinyan's face was gloomy.

Liu Xi didn't know why Xiao Jinyan was so angry. Nothing happened today. He asked again, "Your Highness, shall we serve the meal?"

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "Serve the food."

Liu Xi stepped out and told the maid to bring the food. Liu Xi thought that the prince would go back to Xiyun Pavilion tonight, so the small kitchen was not cooking, and the dishes on the table were all from the imperial kitchen.

Xiao Jinyan came out of the study, sat at the dining table, and looked at the dishes in front of him without any appetite.

He picked up the chopsticks and planned to take a few bites.

Seeing the fish on the table, he suddenly asked, "Where's Xuetuan?"

"I'll go look for it." Liu Xi went out to look for Xuetuan but didn't see him, so he ran back.

"Your Highness, I didn't see Xuetuan. Who knows where he went." Liu Xi didn't dare to mention Xiyun Pavilion, because His Highness seemed very angry when he mentioned Xiyun Pavilion just now.
