Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the fruit in front of him. It was small and exquisite, and his face was red. He looked at Shen Chuwei in confusion, "What is this?"

"Cherries are a very delicious fruit." When talking about delicious fruits, Shen Chuwei's eyebrows would involuntarily bend.

Cherry? Xiao Jinyan opened his mouth curiously and took a half bite of the tempting cherry. It tasted sour and sweet, so sour that it made his teeth ache.

But he didn't show it on his face.

Xiao Jinyan doesn't like sour things, nor does he eat things that are too sweet. It can be said that he is very picky when it comes to food.

After eating a cherry, he picked up the tea on the coffee table and took two sips. His teeth still felt a little sour.

Shen Chuwei washed one for herself and put it into her mouth. Her eyes and brows smiled as she ate it.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, knowing that Shen Chuwei was a greedy person who didn't mind sour or spicy food.

He glanced at the few remaining cherries and asked, "Are there any more?"

Shen Chuwei had an unfinished cherry in her mouth, and her cheeks bulged as she spoke, "Yes."

"Send some to mother to try." Xiao Jinyan still remembered that his mother liked to eat spicy and sour food.

"Okay." Shen Chuwei asked the little rabbit to pick some fresh ones.

The little rabbit was very fast and picked all the fresh cherries and peaches in no time.

Xiao Jinyan asked Liu Xi to send it to Fengyi Palace, and told him not to mention that it was picked in Xiyun Pavilion.

Liu Xi took the order and went to Fengyi Palace with the fruits.

The queen was lying on the chaise longue at this time, and two young palace maids were massaging her shoulders and legs.

The queen drank a sip of tea calmly on the surface, but in her heart she had already cursed the dog emperor.

These past few days, he seemed to be taking medicine, coming to her palace every night to make trouble.

He was obviously complaining about this and that, but he still touched and bit it.

The queen wanted to put the teacup back on the low table, but the slightest movement caused her to feel severe pain.

The old bones were almost broken.

Seeing this, Qingying took a few steps forward and took the teacup from the Queen's hand, "Your Majesty, lie down and don't move. I will come."

The queen lay there without moving.

Liu Xi walked in with small steps carrying some fruit, stepped forward and saluted, "May the Queen be blessed with good health and long life."

The queen pinched her temples and guessed it was Liu Xi from the East Palace. She slowly opened her beautiful eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"

Liu Xi lowered his brows and nodded, "Your Majesty, His Highness ordered me to bring some fruit to Your Majesty."

There was never a shortage of fruit in Fengyi Palace. Even the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace could not compare to the Queen's Palace in terms of delicious and fresh fruit. These were always reserved for the Queen, and this had not changed over the years.

The queen asked calmly: "What fruit?"

Liu Xi took two steps forward, opened the lid of the food box, and handed it to the queen, with a flattering smile on his lips, "Queen, please take a look."

The queen was about to move, but then she remembered that she was feeling a little unwell. She slowly raised her head and looked over. She saw the fruits inside. She recognized the peach, but not the other one.

The small size, crystal clearness and bright red color indicate that the fruit is very fresh and appetizing.

"What kind of fruit is this?"

"Your Majesty, these are cherries," said Liu Xi.

The Queen said, "Qingying, wash some for me to taste."

Qingying came over, took some cherries, washed them with clean water, then wiped them clean with a silk handkerchief before handing them to the queen.

The queen picked up a cherry and tasted it. It was sweet and sour, crisp and fresh.

"Where did this fruit come from? Why don't I have it in my palace?" As the queen spoke, she picked up another cherry and put it in her mouth and started eating.

"In reply to the Queen, this fruit was found by Your Highness outside." Liu Xi said.

"So that's why. No wonder there's none in my palace." The queen was so focused on eating at the moment that she ignored the pain in her body.

She stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty the Queen."

When the queen saw that the person coming was Xueyan, she forced herself to sit up and said, "Xueyan, you are here, come and sit down."

Xueyan thanked her and sat down on the chair, looking at the fruits on the low table, all of which she had never seen before.

The queen looked at the cherries on the fruit plate. There were only two left. She reluctantly took one and asked Qingying to give the other to Xueyan. She also took a peach.

"Xueyan, try the cherries. The peaches taste good."

Xueyan looked at the cherries and peaches that Qingying handed over. She picked up the cherries with curiosity, tasted them, and found that they tasted good.

Just as I could taste the flavor, the cherry was gone.

The Queen is gone too.

Xueyan praised: "Empress, these cherries are delicious."

"I also think cherries are delicious, and peaches are also good." The Queen looked regretful, "It's a pity that there are not many cherries. They were sent by the Crown Prince."

Xueyan felt it was a pity when she heard this. She ate one and the taste was gone right after she tasted it. She felt a little uncomfortable.

She asked tentatively: "I don't know where Your Highness bought it from."

"I don't know either." The queen picked up the peach, took a bite, and found it tasted good.

Xueyan was still thinking about cherries, so she went back and asked someone where she could buy them.

As a result, no one knew about the fruit called cherries.

It’s the second night since Xueyan married into the East Palace.

Xueyan took a bath early, and the bathtub was filled with a thick layer of fresh flower petals.

Shuiyao applied precious essential oil little by little on her snow-white skin.

After finishing her bath, Xueyan was waiting on the bed in a thin and transparent dress.

Until the first watch of the night, there was no sign of Xiao Jinyan.

Xueyan couldn't sit still any longer, "Shuiyao, go ask."

"Princess, I will go right away."

Shui Yao left in a hurry and came back not long after.

"Princess, His Royal Highness is still busy reviewing memorials."

Xueyan said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness, are you going to review memorials every night?"

"I heard from Eunuch Liu that the emperor has been sending most of the memorials to the East Palace every day for your review. Your Highness is also helping the emperor to share his worries and work." Shui Yao said.

Xueyan felt better after hearing this, "The prince is a little busy. No wonder they always said that it was rare for them to see His Highness."

At this time in the study room, Xiao Jinyan was reviewing memorials.

In the next room, Wei Chi and Qin Xiao were busy digging the wall.

Xiao Jinyan has been busy reviewing memorials these days and did not come to Hehuan Palace at night, so Shen Chuwei took a bath and went to bed early.

At night, Shen Chuwei was sleeping soundly in bed when she heard a "bang bang" sound from next door. The bed was shaking and Shen Chuwei jumped up from the bed in fright.

"Oh no, there's an earthquake."

"Chunxi, little rabbit, come out quickly."

Shen Chuwei ran out wrapped in a thin blanket, shouting and running into the next room regardless of anything.

Shen Chuwei experienced an earthquake when she was a child. The bungalow collapsed and she almost couldn't escape.
