Shen Chuwei stopped and looked at Xiao Jinyan. He was still wearing court robes, so he must have been busy and had just returned now.

At this time, Xueyan had already walked in front of Xiao Jinyan, her beautiful eyes smiling, "Your Highness, I came to play with Shen Liangdi today."

Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei not far away. She was holding Xuetuan in her arms, and it was unknown where she was going.

He looked at Xueyan and said in a cold and distant voice: "Princess Xueyan, Shen Liangdi doesn't like to play with strangers. If Xueyan really wants to play, she can find someone else."

After saying that, he walked straight towards Shen Chuwei.

Xueyan stood there in a daze. She turned around to look at Xiao Jinyan's leaving back, and followed him in small steps.

Xiao Jinyan came to Shen Chuwei, glanced at the snowball in her arms, and asked her: "Where are you going with the snowball?"

Shen Chuwei raised her delicate chin and said, "Your Highness, I am going to pick up eggs."

Picking up eggs? Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this word for the first time. "Why do we need to pick up eggs? Where can we pick them up?"

Shen Chuwei: "Xiyun Pavilion."

Xueyan looked at Shen Chuwei and said, "Shen Liangdi, you go pick up the eggs. I won't go until His Highness comes back."

Shen Chu smiled slightly, "I won't go either."

Xueyan looked at Shen Chuwei with a puzzled look on her face, "Weren't you in a hurry to pick up eggs just now?"

Chunxi appeared from behind, "My lady, I will go pick up the eggs."

After Chunxi finished speaking, she walked happily towards Xiyun Pavilion.

Xueyan paused when she saw this, then turned to look at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, I will have lunch with you today."

She reached out and tried to hold Xiao Jinyan's arm.

Xiao Jinyan was quick-eyed and quick-handed and dodged it easily.

Seeing the snowball in Shen Chuwei's arms, he reached out and wanted to hug her, "Give me the snowball, it's so heavy, it's tiring to hold it all the time."

Shen Chuwei didn't comment and let Xiao Jinyan hold her.

Xueyan's hands were mostly in the air. She looked at Xuetuan in Xiao Jinyan's arms, who was glaring at her with bared teeth. She didn't dare to reach out to hug Xiao Jinyan's arm, for fear that Xuetuan would suddenly bite her.

Lunch time

The three of them sat around the dining table.

Shen Chuwei looked at the delicious food in front of her and picked out the ones she liked.

Xiao Jinyan knew her preferences and would pick up some of her favorite dishes for her from time to time.

Xueyan ate slowly because she was wearing a veil. Seeing Xiao Jinyan picking up food for Shen Chuwei, she looked at Xiao Jinyan, pointed at the Four Happiness Meatballs in the distance and said, "Your Highness, can you help me pick up some food? It's too far for me to reach."

While Xueyan was talking, Shen Chuwei reached into the plate with his chopsticks, picked up the last four-happiness meatball and put it into his bowl, then took a bite.

Just as Xueyan finished speaking, she saw Shen Chuwei pick up the last four-happiness meatball and put it into her mouth, and she was stunned.

Shen Chuwei was chewing and found Xueyan looking at him. He spoke vaguely, "The Four Happiness Meatballs are delicious."

After saying that, he took another bite.

The four-joy meatballs were gone, so Xueyan simply changed the dish, "Then I won't eat the four-joy meatballs. Your Highness, you can pick up the fish fillet for me."

"Brother, are you having lunch? I arrived at the right time." Xiao Jinyu came suddenly. He came to the East Palace as if he was returning to his own bedroom and sat down directly at the dining table.

He turned to Liu Xi and said, "Eunuch Liu, bring me a set of bowls and chopsticks."

Liu Xi ordered the palace maid to add more bowls and chopsticks.

Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyu, "Didn't you say you would be back tomorrow?"

"I was planning to come back tomorrow, but I came back early last night because I was in a hurry."

Xiao Jinyu discovered that there was a strange woman sitting next to the prince, "Brother, who is she?"

"She is Princess Xueyan of the Xueyue Kingdom." Xiao Jinyan answered concisely.

At this time, the palace maid brought a new set of bowls and chopsticks.

Xiao Jinyu was also hungry at this time, so he picked up the bowl and started eating.

Xueyan looked at the young man in front of her and felt that he was somewhat similar to Xiao Jinyan. "Are you the Crown Prince's younger brother?"

Xiao Jinxu puffed his cheeks and said, "Yes, a genuine brother."

Xueyan said: "No wonder he looks very similar to His Highness."

Xiao Jinyu said quite proudly: "Of course."

Xueyan smiled, looked at Xiao Jinyan, pointed at the plate of fish fillets and said, "Your Highness, I want to eat fish fillets. Can you help me pick it up?"

Xiao Jinyu picked up the fish fillet and placed it directly in front of Xueyan, "Princess, it's not convenient to let others pick it up, pick it up yourself, and take as much as you want to eat."

After saying that, he reached in with his chopsticks, picked up some and put it in the bowl.

Xueyan looked at the fish fillet in front of her, not knowing what to say, so she reached in with her chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish fillet, put it in the bowl, and ate it slowly.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan curled the corners of his lips, picked up some fish fillets and put them into Shen Chuwei's bowl.

Shen Chuwei saw the extra fish fillets suddenly in the bowl, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jinyan, curved her eyebrows, picked up some and put them into her mouth to eat.

When Xueyan saw it, the fish fillets in the bowl instantly lost their fragrance.

She took two bites of rice and saw the plate of ribs in front of Shen Chuwei. She wanted to eat some, so she said, "Your Highness, I want to eat ribs."

"Don't bother my brother. He's very busy every day and we can't delay his meals. I'll bring it to you." Xiao Jinyu picked up the plate of ribs and placed it in front of Xueyan while speaking.

There were two ribs left, and the rest were all eaten by Shen Chuwei.

After Xiao Jinyu put down the plate, he picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in the bowl, smiling and said, "Two pieces, one for each person is just right."

After saying that, he put it in his mouth, took a bite, and ate it very deliciously.

Xueyan frowned unconsciously, picked up the last piece of ribs and took a bite. Even if she wanted to eat it, it had no taste when it entered her mouth.

Shen Chuwei ate four bowls of rice, put them on the chopsticks with satisfaction, and wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief.

Xiao Jinyu had just finished her second bowl of rice, and when she saw Shen Chuwei had put down her bowl and chopsticks, she asked, "Sister-in-law, you don't want to eat anymore?"

Shen Chuwei chuckled twice, "I'm full."

Xueyan heard him calling Shen Chuwei sister-in-law and asked in confusion: "Why do you call her sister-in-law? Shouldn't the title of sister-in-law be used by the Crown Princess?"

Xiao Jinyu said as a matter of course, "I like to call her sister-in-law, is that not okay?"

Xueyan paused, "…But, there is a Crown Princess, what is your name?"

Xiao Jinyu thought he knew the Crown Prince very well, and he said with certainty, "Isn't there no Crown Princess? My brother is not in a hurry to have a Crown Princess."

After that, he gossiped to Xueyan again, "My brother's fortune is not good. He won't be able to marry a crown princess in the next one or two years."

Xueyan looked unconvinced, "Who said that?"

Xiao Jinyu said: "The director of the Imperial Observatory, Lord Lu said that he is amazing. He can predict marriages, fortunes, and even observe the stars to predict fortunes."

"...But," Xueyan couldn't believe it. The food in her mouth was stuck in her throat and she couldn't swallow it.

"I know you don't believe me, but you can ask around about Lord Lu's reputation, and you'll know how great he is."

Good night, my dears, it's getting late again...
