"Chunxi, it's ready. Send some to Prince Yu."

Shen Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "Send some to Concubine Xu Tao Chenghui, send some to Xiyun Pavilion, let them have a taste, and send some to Eunuch Liu as well."

Chunxi raised her eyes to look at Shen Chuwei and found that the young lady was very generous today. Even though the roasted whole lamb was very big, there wasn't much left after giving some here and there.

Since the young lady was happy, she, as a servant, could not say much.

Shen Chuwei stared at the roasted whole lamb in Chunxi's hands until both sides were golden brown. She couldn't bear to take her eyes off it. She licked her lips and urged, "Chunxi, it's cooked. You can eat it now."

"My lady, the roasted whole lamb won't run away. Please wait a little longer and let it cool down for a while." Chunxi said. She looked up and saw His Highness standing not far away. She blurted out in surprise, "Your Highness."

Shen Chuwei's eyes stayed on the roasted whole lamb, and she said without raising her head: "Today is an important day for the appointment of the Crown Princess, Your Highness doesn't have time to come."

Xiao Jinyan stood less than two meters away from Shen Chuwei, looking at Shen Chuwei lying on the rattan chair. Even though he couldn't see her front, he could guess that her eyes must be on the roasted whole lamb.

Chunxi saw Shen Chuwei sitting still, and hurriedly winked at her, "My lady, His Highness is really here..."

Shen Chuwei saw Chunxi standing still, and raised her head in confusion, and saw Chunxi's eyes twitching, "Chunxi, is your eye cramping?"

Chunxi: "..." Oh my god! My dear, my eyes look like they are cramping.

Shen Chuwei found that the atmosphere was a little strange. Chunxi and Little Rabbit stood up and saluted behind them.

She asked Chunxi in a very low voice, "Is His Highness really here?"

Chunxi wanted to roll his eyes. Why don’t you just look back and see for yourself?

Xiao Jinyan coughed lightly: "Xiao Jiu."

When Shen Chuwei heard the voice, she turned around and looked behind her, and saw Xiao Jinyan wearing a dark court robe standing less than two meters behind her. She was stunned for a moment.

"Your Highness, isn't today the day to appoint the Crown Princess?" So, why did she appear in the Hehuan Palace? Xiao Jinyan answered concisely, "Cancelled."

"Canceled?" Shen Chuwei didn't react for a long time. She heard last night that the Ministry of Rites was making intensive preparations, so it was cancelled now?

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the roasted whole lamb, and looked at Shen Chuwei again, "I haven't had breakfast yet."

I was busy until four o'clock last night, and got up at five o'clock. I didn't even have time to have breakfast, so I went to the Golden Palace to expose Chang Liangdi.

At this moment, I am indeed hungry.

Shen Chuwei got down from the rattan chair swiftly, took two steps forward, and pulled Xiao Jinyan's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, the roasted whole lamb is ready. It's a good opportunity for us to eat roasted whole lamb together."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the hand that had always been pulling at his sleeve. He reached out and held it in his palm, "Okay."

Shen Chuwei lowered his head and glanced at the hand he was holding. His palm was very hot.

The two of them sat down at the table one after another. Sauces and lettuce had already been prepared on the round table.

Chunxi had already taken a knife and started cutting the roasted whole lamb. He distributed some to them according to Shen Chuwei's instructions and sent them over.

Then slice it.

Shen Chuwei picked up the disposable gloves she had prepared in advance and looked up at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, please stretch out your hands and I will put on the gloves for you."

Xiao Jinyan stretched out his upper hand as he was told and watched Shen Chuwei put on a disposable transparent glove on his hand. He then rolled up his sleeves very high, revealing a large section of his white wrist.

After putting the gloves on both hands, Shen Chuwei rolled up his sleeves, picked up the gloves and put them on himself with ease.

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei's actions indifferently, and could tell from her proficiency that she had worn disposable transparent gloves many times before.

Seeing Xiao Jinyan looking at her and not eating, she puffed her cheeks and said, "Your Highness, eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Xiao Jinyan looked at her greedy appearance and nodded, "Yeah."

"Shen Liang Di, Shen Liang Di, I have good news for you. Not only did Chang Liang Di not become the Crown Princess, she was demoted to..." Liang Yuan...

Concubine Xu was waving her handkerchief, and the sound came before she arrived.

When she came in and saw Xiao Jinyan was also there, the remaining two choked back their words.

When Concubine Xu heard the news, she rushed over immediately, thinking she arrived fast enough, but she didn't expect Xiao Jinyan to arrive even faster than her.

Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei turned around almost at the same time, and saw Concubine Xu walking in briskly with a handkerchief waving, and then suddenly stepped on the brakes. Without asking, they knew it was because Xiao Jinyan was there.

In front of Xiao Jinyan, Concubine Xu was so gloating that she died on the spot.

She swung her handkerchief awkwardly and walked forward, bowing, "May your highness be blessed with good health."

Xiao Jinyan said calmly: "Get up."

Shen Chuwei still had roasted lamb in her mouth and spoke unclearly, "Since Concubine Xu is here, let's eat roasted whole lamb together, so we don't have to ask someone to send it to us."

Concubine Xu glanced at Xiao Jinyan, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she agreed, "...Okay."

She came to the round table and sat down, put away the handkerchief, and consciously picked up the disposable transparent gloves and put them on her hands.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Concubine Xu and saw her skilled movements. It didn't seem like it was her first time and she came to visit often.

Xu had come to visit many times and had eaten there many times, so he was already very familiar with wearing gloves.

Concubine Xu put on her gloves, looked at the roasted lamb, then looked at Xiao Jinyan, feeling a little resentful in her heart, "Your Highness, why did you come at any other time but during meal time? It's not convenient for me to perform my duties."

Xiao Jinyan had just rolled up a piece of mutton when he heard Concubine Xu's complaints. Since the first day Concubine Xu entered the Eastern Palace, she had been complaining about this or that, and she was particularly good at scolding people.

In fact, Xiao Jinyan was also used to Concubine Xu's criticism of people, and sometimes she told the truth.

But this time, he found that Concubine Xu still complained that he shouldn't have come~

It was Concubine Xu's first time eating mutton. She followed Shen Chuwei's example, picked up a piece of lettuce, put it on two slices of mutton, spread some hot sauce on it, rolled it up and put it in her mouth. Forgetting for a moment that Xiao Jinyan was there, she took a big bite.

After putting the meat into her mouth, she saw Xiao Jinyan sitting next to her. She didn't know whether to eat the mutton in her mouth or not.

I couldn't help but complain in my mind again. There is a sentence in the book that is absolutely true: men will only affect the speed of eating.

Xiao Jinyan paused chewing and glanced at Concubine Xu. He saw that she lowered her head and her cheeks kept moving. It was obvious that she had stuffed a lot in her mouth. She lowered her head probably because she was afraid of being seen.

He remembered that Concubine Xu used to eat in small bites in order to make herself look dignified and elegant.

Does men affect the speed of eating?

Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at Shen Chuwei. She was taking a big bite of mutton with her cheeks bulging, and she was eating with great enjoyment.

He suddenly understood why the way Concubine Xu ate looked familiar, because she looked a bit like Shen Chuwei.
