"It's Princess Xueyan, she's still a girl, but she keeps pestering Your Highness for no reason. Isn't that shameless?" Concubine Xu said with confidence.
Tao Chenghui couldn't help laughing with his handkerchief covering his mouth: "Haha, who made our prince so handsome and unparalleled, no one can compare to him?"
Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement when she heard this. She had never seen a man more handsome than Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan is a man of both literary and military talents, and he is also the crown prince, so it is normal for Xueyan to like him.
When Concubine Xu saw Shen Chuwei picking up the embroidery needle, she advised, "Stop embroidering. Let's go see how that shameless man tries to seduce His Highness."
"I have to embroider it, it's urgent." Shen Chuwei thought that after the embroidery was finished in the next two days, she would replace the sachet that Xiao Jinyan carried with him. It would be good for him and me too! Concubine Xu sighed, "There is no rush for this moment. The most important thing now is to stop the shameless seduction of His Highness."
Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at Concubine Xu, only to see her rolling up her sleeves, as if she was going to catch an adulterer. She soothed him, "We have to trust His Highness."
"Shen Liang Di, did His Highness give you a drug? How could you be so easily deceived? Look at the emperor, he has three palaces and six courtyards, how many children does he have? Concubine Ning is pregnant with another one, and people are saying that the emperor and the empress are very loving. If they are really in love, where did all those children come from?"
Concubine Xu tried to wake up Shen Chuwei who was in love.
Compared to Concubine Xu's excitement, Tao Chenghui was relatively calm. "I think what Concubine Xu said makes some sense. Although His Highness is not obsessed with women, he is also a man, and it is difficult for men to resist temptation."
Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously to show his agreement, "What you said makes sense."
Concubine Xu said, "Let's go, I heard that Princess Xueyan invited Your Highness to appreciate the lotus flowers. The lotus flowers bloomed especially early this year."
Shen Chuwei didn't leave but held up the sachet in her hand to show them, "I want to embroider more."
Concubine Xu was so angry that she asked, "Don't you dislike needlework?"
"I won't embroider anymore after I finish this one." Shen Chuwei had a bitter feeling but couldn't say it out loud. If she hadn't been so smart, she wouldn't have to rush to embroider.
Concubine Xu stared at Shen Chuwei for a long time, somewhat confused, "Are you really not worried that His Highness will be snatched away by that shameless person?"
Shen Chuwei still said the same thing, "We must trust His Highness."
Concubine Xu: "..." I don't believe it! Tao Chenghui: "..."
In the end, Shen Chuwei was pulled out by Concubine Xu, with the reason being, "If men's words could be trusted, even pigs could climb trees."
Shen Chuwei: “…” Concubine Xu was completely led astray by her, no, by the romance novels~ Arriving at the lotus pond, Tao Chenghui saw Chang Liangyuan approaching slowly.
"What is Chang Liangyuan doing here?"
Concubine Xu snorted: "The position of Crown Princess is about to be lost, how can she not be anxious?"
Chang Liangyuan was not surprised at all to see Shen Liangdi and the others. She stepped forward and bowed, "Concubine Xu, Shen Liangdi, you are here too?"
Concubine Xu stroked her temples and said, "Chang Liangyuan never leaves the main door or the secondary door. She pant every three steps and cough every ten steps. How can she have the leisure to go out for a walk today?"
The word "放风" (released in the breeze) was learned from romance novels, implying that Chang Liangyuan feels like she is in prison every day.
Shen Chuwei understood the meaning of this sentence and found that after Concubine Xu read romance novels, she even used some modern words when she criticized people.
Chang Liangyuan's face turned a little unhappy when she heard this. Ever since she was punished, Concubine Xu spoke more and more without restraint, which made her very disgusted.
"The imperial physician said that you are not feeling well and you should go out for more walks and get some sun, which is good for your health."
Concubine Xu withdrew her gaze and looked at Princess Xueyan and Xiao Jinyan who had arrived late. She deliberately raised her voice and said, "Princess Xueyan is of noble status. Your Highness came in person to accompany her to appreciate the lotus flowers."
Chang Liangyuan looked over when she heard the voice, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Jinyan coming to accompany Xueyan. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
Whoever marries Princess Xueyan will have the Xueyue Kingdom and a generous dowry.
Xiao Jinyan is the prince, and there is no reason to refuse when it comes to interests.
When Chang Liangyuan looked away, she found that Shen Chuwei and Concubine Xu Tao Chenghui had boarded a small boat.
They just have different thoughts. Do you really think they are good sisters?
In this palace, sisters can become enemies because of favoritism, let alone those who are not related by blood? Didn't Shen Mingzhu attack her own sister in order to win favor? Chang Liangyuan snorted, retracted her gaze and looked at Xiao Jinyan, waved her handkerchief and walked over, bowed, "Your Highness, may you be blessed with good health."
Then he bowed to Xueyan and said, "Princess."
Xueyan stared at Chang Liangyuan with a puzzled look on her face, "Chang Liangyuan, why are you here?"
Chang Liangyuan said softly, "I heard that there is a calla lily in the lotus pond, and it is the only one that blooms early, so I came here to take a look out of curiosity."
Xiao Jinyan saw Shen Chuwei coming from afar. He thought Shen Chuwei would be the same as last time, and a smile appeared in his eyes. However, when he saw her get on a small boat, his eyes paused and the smile disappeared instantly.
Xiao Jinyan retracted his gaze and looked at Chang Liangyuan, changing his usual indifference and alienation. "I heard that Chang Liangyuan has been unwell these days. Is she feeling better now?"

Chang Liangyuan hadn't heard Xiao Jinyan speak to her in a gentle voice for a long time. Now that she heard it, she was stunned for a few seconds.
I’m flattered!
She smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am much better now. Thank you for your concern."
Xiao Jinyan said: "Since you are here, let's go to the lake to enjoy the lotus flowers together."
Chang Liangyuan was just trying to find a reason to go with him, but she didn't expect Xiao Jinyan to take the initiative to bring it up. She was immediately overjoyed, "I obey your command."
Xueyan glanced at Chang Liangyuan. It was originally a date for two people, but it turned into a date for three people. No one would be happy.
Xiao Jinyan took the lead and walked towards the cruise ship.
Xueyan and Chang Liangyuan boarded the cruise ship one after another.
After Xiao Jinyan came up, he glanced at the boat not far away, wondering why Shen Chuwei didn't come to find him. Xueyan was a little impatient, "Your Highness, let's go."
"Yes." Xiao Jinyan ordered Wei Chi to set off.
Xueyan raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, her eyes full of excitement, "Your Highness, I heard that the twin lotus is a rare sight, and it bloomed early, which should be a good sign. I can't wait to see what the twin lotus looks like?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "The twin lotus flowers are indeed a rare sight."
Chang Liangyuan watched Xueyan's every move and thought she must have fallen in love with Xiao Jinyan. Her aunt had said that it would be most suitable for Xueyan to marry Xiao Jinyan.
But she doesn't think so.
"It is my honor to be able to watch this spectacle with Your Highness."
Good afternoon!
