Shen Chuwei said in a low voice: "The banquet is not an important occasion. Although I am a concubine, I can go. Your Highness has brought me to attend it before."

At the end of the speech, his voice became weaker because he lacked confidence.

Xiao Jinyan raised an eyebrow, "How do you know that the banquet is not an important occasion?"

Shen Chu was stunned for a moment. What he said was true. Sometimes banquets were also very important occasions. She thought for a moment and said, "That is not an important occasion. Your Highness can take me with you. I am not greedy."

Xiao Jinyan paused while drinking tea, probably because he didn't expect Shen Chuwei to say that.

He said angrily: "Then why did you let me take others with me?"

"I'm talking about important occasions." Shen Chuwei paused here and said helplessly: "Even if I want to go, the emperor and the queen will definitely not allow me to go."

Although there is no Crown Princess now, there will definitely be one in the future. She has no power and influence, so it will definitely not be me.

As a salted fish, it is most reliable for her to just eat and drink for free.

Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei for a while, only to see that she had her eyes lowered and looked sad.

"Is this why you asked me to bring someone else to important occasions?"

Shen Chuwei nodded. She was also very sad that she couldn't attend the banquet.

But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, it was ancient times, the thinking was feudal, and there were many rules.

"Although I don't know much, I still know that the emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed."

After hearing this, Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt relieved, relieved that she was considering him.

The emperor's order was indeed unbreakable, but he was also working hard! After so many years of hard work, he finally climbed to the position of crown prince.

He believed that it would not be long before he could take charge of his own life, which would no longer be controlled by his father and mother.

This is the goal he has been working towards since he returned as a proton.

When he looked at Shen Chuwei again, his eyes softened a little, "That being said, everything depends on human effort."

Shen Chuwei suddenly curved her eyebrows, "Then Your Highness will still take me to the banquet, right?"

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei, who was sad one second and had a smile on her face the next. The change was faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Well, if you work harder, I can take you with me."

Shen Chuwei nodded obediently, "I will eat more. This trip will not be in vain. Your Highness, don't worry."

Xiao Jinyan: "..."

The sky gradually darkened, and even though the lights were turned on in the carriage, the light was still a little dim.

Because we were traveling on the official road and the carriage was spacious, the ride was not that bumpy.

Shen Chuwei yawned and felt a little sleepy due to the bumpy ride in the carriage.

Xiao Jinyan heard it, raised his head and looked over, and saw Shen Chuwei leaning his elbows on the low table with his chin supported by his hand, as if he would fall asleep in the next second.

He said calmly: "Xiao Jiu."

Shen Chuwei raised his head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything wrong, Your Highness?"

Xiao Jinyan: "Come here."

"Oh." Shen Chuwei moved to Xiao Jinyan with doubt.

Xiao Jinyan patted his thigh and said, "I'm sleepy, so I'll lie down and take a nap."

Shen Chuwei asked: "What about His Highness?"

Xiao Jinyan: "I am not sleepy yet."

Shen Chuwei lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan's legs. He was wearing casual clothes today, not as gorgeous as he was in the palace. The moon-white robe made him look cool and noble.

She lay down with the blanket propped up on her back, resting her head on Xiao Jinyan's legs. It was her first time sleeping with her head on a man's legs, and she felt very uncomfortable.

The carriage was spacious and well-padded, making it very comfortable.

Shen Chuwei opened her eyes and saw Xiao Jinyan's jaw line, which was sharp yet somewhat gentle.

She closed her eyes guiltily.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at her without saying a word. He used his slender fingers to lift her hair and tuck it behind her ears.

At first, Shen Chuwei felt something strange about the hand and thought it would be difficult to fall asleep with her head resting on a man's thigh.

The result was just the opposite. I fell asleep soon after closing my eyes.

Although the carriage was a little bumpy, it did not prevent her from sleeping at all.

When I woke up, it was already daybreak. The candle in the carriage had burned out, and faint morning light filtered through the curtains.

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan, who was sleeping soundly with his back leaning against a soft pillow.

She rubbed her waist gently. After all, sleeping in a carriage was not as comfortable as sleeping on a bed.

After traveling for such a long time, the carriage stopped in front of a restaurant.

Because the prisoners were being escorted, there were many people watching.

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

Xiao Jinyan asked the guards to surround the prisoners to prevent anyone from taking advantage of them.

Shen Chuwei had eaten some pastries last night, and when she saw the porridge and snacks, her appetite immediately grew.

Xiao Jinyan reminded: "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

"I understand." Shen Chuwei said in a low voice because there were guests all around.

Xiao Jinyu came over and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, did you sleep well last night?"

When mentioning last night, Shen Chuwei subconsciously glanced at Xiao Jinyan. She slept with her head resting on Xiao Jinyan's thighs last night, which was much more comfortable than sleeping sitting down.

She smiled and said, "I'm fine, how about you?"

Xiao Jinyu rubbed his neck, feeling very aggrieved, "It's not good at all, my neck is so sore."

Han Yan kept his eyes on Xiao Jinyu. Seeing that he was so close to Shen Chuwei, he frowned slightly, "Prince Yu, I'll rub it for you later."

Xiao Jinyu quickly refused, "No, just take a rest for a while."

Who knows how you rub it, what if you are deliberately teasing me?

Han Yan smiled faintly but did not answer.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Han Yan, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He always felt that his brother was very afraid of this Miss Han.

After breakfast, Xiao Jinyan called his brother aside to ask him.

"What's going on between you and Miss Han?"

"It's okay, brother, we're fine..." Xiao Jinyu realized something was wrong and changed his words: "No, Miss Han is fine. She took good care of me along the way."

Xiao Jinyan frowned, feeling that his brother was lying and trying to cover up the truth.

"Why don't you tell the truth in front of me?"

"Brother, I'm telling the truth. Miss Han is a nice person. Don't be fooled by her tall stature; she is actually very gentle." Xiao Jinyu emphasized his tone at the end, fearing that his brother would not believe him.

Xiao Jinyan stared at Xiao Jinyu with his sharp eyes for a long time, and finally sighed, "You are almost 17 years old, you should know what is important and what is not, understand?"

Xiao Jinyu nodded vigorously, "Brother, I know, don't worry."

Here, Shen Chuwei found Chunxi acting a little strange. As soon as Qin Xiao came over, Chunxi pulled her aside to hide.

She couldn't help but ask, "Chunxi, why are you so afraid of Brother Qin?"

Chunxi was too embarrassed to tell others about Qin Xiao pinching her arm, so she could only lie, "My lady, it's okay, I just smell the sweat on his body and it smells bad."

By chance, Qin Xiao heard it and said, "My sweat smell is not that bad."
