After hearing what Xueyan was thinking, Xiao Jinyan paused while picking up dishes. He then entered the East Palace and set his sights on the Hehuan Palace?

He has seen too much over the years about how greedy human hearts are.

Especially the women in the Eastern Palace, all of them want to be the Crown Princess and will do anything to win favor.

A princess is actually coveting other people's things.

Xueyan retracted her gaze and watched Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei picking up the food on their plates. She didn't understand what was so delicious about these ordinary side dishes?

She thought for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Jinyan, her eyes full of expectation: "Your Highness, I think the braised pork is well made. Would you mind giving me a piece of it to try?"

Xiao Jinyan paused in chewing, and suddenly felt a little nauseous when listening to the deliberately coquettish voice.

It did affect his appetite.

Shen Chuwei looked at Xue Yan with a curious look on his face: "Concubine Xue, how old are you this year?"

Xueyan looked at Shen Chuwei after hearing this, "Fifteen years old, what's wrong?"

"Oh, I thought Concubine Xue was only three years old and needed an adult to help her pick up food for her, but it turns out she's already fifteen?" Shen Chuwei said, looking at the plate. There were still two pieces of braised pork left on it. She unceremoniously picked them all up with one chopstick and put them into her bowl.

An imperceptible smile flashed across Xiao Jinyan's eyes.

Xueyan felt that Shen Chuwei was deliberately insulting her, and her face immediately turned very ugly.

"Is Shen Liangdi's eyes okay? I'm so old and here alone, can't you tell how old I am?"

Shen Chu blinked her big, sparkling eyes twice and said, "My eyesight is very good. I saw a pimple on Concubine Xue's face."

Xueyan touched her right cheek and found a sesame-sized pimple that had suddenly appeared in the past two days.

Saying that Xiao Jinyan has acne on her face in front of her? Isn't that a problem?

She said unkindly, "You have good eyesight? Then how can you not tell the difference between a fifteen-year-old and a three-year-old?"

"Concubine Xue, you may not know that we have a 28-year-old girl here."

Shen Chuwei pointed to her forehead with the hand holding the chopsticks and continued, "She is very beautiful, but unfortunately her brain was damaged by a high fever when she was a child. Her IQ remains at the level of a three-year-old. She needs an adult to help her pick up food."

Xiao Jinyan couldn't help laughing when he heard that, but then he suppressed his laughter and praised himself in his heart, saying, "Well done."

Xueyan's face turned extremely ugly. Was Shen Chuwei scolding her for being crazy? Xueyan had been spoiled since she was a child. How could she have been treated like this? She suppressed her dissatisfaction and forced a smile: "Shen Liangdi, let's go pick up eggs together after breakfast, okay?"

Shen Chuwei picked up the last piece of braised pork, put it into her mouth, and paused, looking at Xue Yan with some curiosity: "Didn't Concubine Xue dislike picking eggs? Why do you like it now?"

Xueyan said, "I think picking up eggs is quite interesting now. I want to give it a try. I grew up in the palace and have never seen a chicken lay eggs."

Shen Chuwei said vaguely: "No need to pick up eggs today."

Xueyan snorted in her heart, it’s not that we don’t need to pick them up, it’s that all the chickens and ducks are dead, so there are no eggs left!

I felt much better thinking that the unpleasant smell of chicken shit was finally gone.

Xue Yanxu didn't know that Xiao Jinyan heard all these proud words without missing a word.

Xiao Jinyan frowned. It turned out that it was Xueyan who poisoned the chickens and ducks. No wonder they hadn't found the truth after a whole day of investigation.

Last time, Xiaojiu was sad and upset for a long time.

If Xiaojiu hadn’t prepared in advance this time, the remaining chickens and ducks would have died. Wouldn’t she have cried?

Xiao Jinyan did not get angry at this time. Xueyan was the princess of Xueyue Kingdom. If she was not handled carefully, it would cause dissatisfaction from Xueyue Kingdom.

The two countries were at war some time ago, which cost a lot of manpower and financial resources. We cannot lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.

"Shen Liangdi, why don't we have to pick up eggs?" Xueyan was already expecting Shen Chuwei to say that the chickens and ducks were dead and show a sad expression.

Shen Chuwei finished eating the braised pork in her mouth, "Since Concubine Xue is so interested, let's go change the straw for the chickens and ducks later. Xiao Guizi was too busy this morning and didn't have time to change it."

The thatch in the chicken coop is changed every day, which creates a good environment and reduces odor.

However, some people who are spoiled and have obsessive-compulsive disorder still cannot stand the smell of chicken feed. For example, Xiao Jinyan, even though the thatch had just been replaced, he still couldn't stand the smell.

Xueyan saw that Shen Chuwei did not show the sadness she had expected. She remembered that Shen Chuwei was very sad when several chickens and ducks died last time.

She asked curiously, "What do you want to change the thatch for?"

"Concubine Xue will know soon." Shen Chuwei withdrew her gaze and continued eating.

Xueyan's eyes were full of confusion.

In the end, Xueyan ate the meals prepared by the imperial kitchen.

After dinner, Xiao Jinyan went back to work as there were a pile of memorials waiting for his review.

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

Chunxi was holding the lamp in front, and Shen Chuwei took Xueyan to Xiyun Pavilion.

Xiyun Pavilion is remote. Xueyan has been there once and has also heard from people in the Eastern Palace that Shen Liangdi used to live in Xiyun Pavilion.

Not only that, when Shen Liangdi was still Shen Fengyi, she was not favored at all, but later she gradually became favored.

These alone are enough to show that Shen Liangdi is very skilled, otherwise how could she seduce Xiao Jinyan and gain his favor?

When they arrived at Xiyun Pavilion, Shen Chuwei asked Xiao Guizi and the little rabbit to light a few more lanterns.

The chicken coop, which was originally pitch black, suddenly lit up.

After dark, the chickens and ducks would crawl into the bamboo cages to rest. In addition to the water and food bowls for the chickens, there was also thatch soaked in chicken feed in the fence.

At the end of the day, the smell is a bit unpleasant.

As soon as Xueyan walked in, she covered her mouth and nose in unbearable pain. She glanced inside the fence and didn't see any chickens or ducks, so she felt relieved.

It would be better if they all died.

Shen Chuwei opened the fence door, looked at Xueyan, and blinked her beautiful eyes twice, "Concubine Xue, come in."

Xueyan glanced at the chicken coop with disdain, "There are no chickens in it, what's the point of changing them? You should go back and take a shower and go to bed. Your Highness will come to the Qimeng Palace tonight."

She deliberately emphasized the last sentence, just to let Shen Chuwei know that Xiao Jinyan was hers.

As soon as Xueyan finished speaking, in the dark night, a snow-white figure ran over from not far away and pounced on Xueyan.

The impact was so strong that Xueyan was frightened and lost her balance, falling into the chicken coop.

"Ah!!!" A scream pierced the night sky. Xueyan watched herself fall into the chicken coop, but was powerless to stop it.

The moment the dish went down, the fair little face touched the dirty ground.

"Meow." Xuetuan screamed, stepped on Xueyan's face with his feet, and disappeared into the dark night as if escaping.

Shen Chuwei saw Xueyan being knocked to the ground by a snowball and accidentally falling into the chicken coop. She felt sympathetic for Xueyan for two seconds, but finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

She was a little confused. When did Xuetuan follow her?
