She looked at the wine she had carefully prepared and thought it would be a pity not to drink it.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, she picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of venison, "Your Highness, this venison was specially prepared by me."

Before she put it in the bowl, Xiao Jinyan directly refused: "I don't like venison, Concubine Xue can eat it by herself."

Xueyan had just stretched out her chopsticks, but before she could put them into the bowl, she paused and couldn't help complaining in her heart, who on earth said that His Highness liked to eat venison? She had no choice but to put the venison into her own bowl, and then raised her head and asked curiously: "Then what dishes does His Highness like to eat? I will serve you the dishes."

Xiao Jinyan said calmly: "I don't like others to serve the dishes."

Xueyan was stunned for a moment, recalling that the last time she and Xiao Jinyan had a meal, no one was serving the dishes, so she didn't think much about it.

She lowered her head to eat the venison in the bowl, then raised her eyes to glance at Xiao Jinyan sitting opposite her. His eating manner was elegant and noble, which was not comparable to that of ordinary princes.

At the welcoming banquet, she took a liking to Xiao Jinyan at first sight.

Thinking that I would sleep with you tonight, I felt extremely happy.

Xiao Jinyan ate a bowl of rice and stopped eating. He picked up the wet handkerchief handed to him by the maid and wiped his lips gracefully.

Seeing this, Xueyan also put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and picked up a wet handkerchief to wipe her lips.

Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Have someone prepare hot water."

"I'll have someone prepare it right away." Xueyan stood up and told Shuiyao to prepare hot water.

Xiao Jinyan came to the inner room. As a mysophobe, he had a very sensitive nose and he smelled a faint fragrance as soon as he walked in. He glanced around the room and saw lilies on the table.

At this time, in Hehuan Palace, Shen Chuwei was about to go to bed after taking a bath, when Concubine Xu walked in, swinging her handkerchief.

Apart from Xiao Jinyan, the only person who entered the inner room without knocking was probably Concubine Xu.

"Concubine Xu, why are you here?"

When Concubine Xu saw Shen Chuwei sitting on the couch in cool clothes, she thought she was very bold.

But when she thought about His Highness staying in Qimeng Palace today, she began to feel sorry for Shen Chuwei again.

"Are you planning to take a rest?" Concubine Xu came over and sat down on the couch, swinging her handkerchief.

Shen Chu nodded slightly, "If you don't rest at this time, do you want to rest after you have a midnight snack?"

She wanted to eat skewers, but unfortunately there were none here. When it came to eating skewers, she started to feel hungry again.

"Didn't you say you believed in His Highness? His Highness will stay in the Dream Palace today." Concubine Xu sighed after saying this, "Your Highness is not as loyal as that man."

Shen Chuwei came over curiously, "Which man?"

Concubine Xu blinked twice, feeling extremely guilty. She knew that even if she just said it casually, the man in black would definitely not tell it, otherwise her life would be in danger.

"I'm talking about the man in the storybook, who is loyal and dotes on his wife."

Shen Chuwei looked at Concubine Xu who had been led astray, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "The storybook is all a lie, don't take it seriously."

Concubine Xu curled her lips, "Is it not okay to be envious?"

Shen Chuwei chuckled twice, "The storybook is used to make you envious."

Concubine Xu held her chin with both hands, "You have shattered my beautiful fantasy."

Shen Chuwei snorted: "This is called sobriety."

Concubine Xu also snorted, the man in black is very loyal! Although he is a bad guy.

"Now that His Highness is not clean, do you still want him?"

Shen Chuwei looked at Concubine Xu in confusion, "Your Highness is not unclean."

Concubine Xu's eyes widened. "He has stayed in the Dream Palace, how can he be clean?"

Shen Chuwei held up his chin and replied with five words: "I believe Your Highness."

Concubine Xu snorted, "Come on, I don't believe it anyway."

Concubine Xu looked at the lotus on the low table and was a little surprised: "This lotus has been in bloom for more than two months, it looks like it was just picked."

Concubine Xu suddenly slammed the table.

Shen Chuwei was startled, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, that's too good for Concubine Xue. Wait for my good news." Concubine Xu threw an ambiguous message to Shen Chuwei, then walked out quickly, swinging her handkerchief.

Shen Chuwei looked at Concubine Xu who disappeared at the door with a confused look on her face.

She was also used to Concubine Xu's impetuous temper.

After Shuiyao had someone prepare hot water, Xueyan shyly came to Xiao Jinyan and said, "Your Highness, I will help you undress."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and glanced at Concubine Xue. "Concubine Xue is proficient in the art of playing the zither. How about playing "High Mountains and Flowing Water" for me?"

Qin is Xueyan's best instrument. Xiao Jinyan wanted to listen to it, and she was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.

"Your Highness wants to hear it, so I will show you my humble self."

Concubine Xue bowed, then came to the piano stand in front of the desk and sat down. Behind her was a desk with lilies on it, and she could smell the fragrance of the lilies.

She looked up at Xiao Jinyan who was standing there, raised her slender fingers, and started playing.

Xiao Jinyan stood tall and slender, looking towards the lilies and listening to the tune of High Mountains and Flowing Water. It was undeniable that Xueyan's piano skills were indeed good.

Liu Xi's shrill voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, Concubine Xu of Yixiang Palace feels unwell, and I want Your Highness to go over and take a look."

Xueyan frowned and stopped what she was doing. His Highness had finally come to stay overnight, but Concubine Xu was deliberately trying to snatch His Highness away.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, hoping he would not leave.

Xiao Jinyan glanced outside the door. Liu Xi's shrill voice was still going on. He retracted his gaze and looked at Xueyan, "I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he opened the door and went out.

"Your Highness?" Xueyan chased out and was so angry when she saw Xiao Jinyan's tall figure leaving.

Shui Yao was indignant: "Princess, that Concubine Xu did it on purpose."

Xueyan returned to the house, looked towards the piano, sat down and continued to play it, still playing the music of mountains and flowing water.

When Xiao Jinyan arrived at Yixiangyuan, he saw Concubine Xu lying on the bed, holding her stomach with one hand, wailing, "My stomach hurts so much, am I going to die?"

Caixia wiped her tears and said, "My lady, please don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Jinyan came to the bedside and looked down at Concubine Xu, who looked like she was in unbearable pain. "Have you called the imperial physician?"

Caixia knelt on the ground, bowed her head and nodded: "Your Highness, I have invited you and you are on your way."

Concubine Xu looked at Xiao Jinyan, who was dressed neatly and had neat hair, and thought it should not have started yet.

She cried and said, "Your Highness, my stomach hurts."

Xiao Jinyan saw through Concubine Xu's pretense at a glance, but he didn't expose her, "Wait for the imperial physician to come and take a look."

Concubine Xu asked again: "What if the imperial physician can't cure it?"

Xiao Jinyan: "Even the imperial doctors can't cure it, and I can't do anything about it."

Concubine Xu somehow heard the subtext in Xiao Jinyan's words. If it doesn't work, then wait for death~

It turns out that the emperor is the most ruthless!

Imperial Doctor Wen arrived soon. When he saw Xiao Jinyan, he stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan said in a cold voice: "Let Concubine Xu take a look first."

"As you command." Imperial Physician Wen stood up. The normal procedure was to check Concubine Xu's pulse first.
