Shen Chuwei shook her head guiltily, "No one said anything to me."
Xiao Jinyan frowned, feeling that Xiaojiu was hiding something from him.
"Then why do you suddenly ask me this question?"
Shen Chuwei lowered his head and looked at the snowball in his arms. When he was struggling with this, Liu Xi walked in with his head bent.
"Your Highness, Lord Lu requests to see you."
Xiao Jinyan nodded and looked at Shen Chuwei, seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, "I will go take care of things first and come back later."
Shen Chuwei nodded.
Xiao Jinyan stood up, glanced at Shen Chuwei, and then left.
It was not until Xiao Jinyan's figure disappeared at the door that Shen Chuwei withdrew his gaze and looked down at the snowball in his arms. Thinking of the portrait and jade in the secret compartment, his handsome brows furrowed.
She rubbed Xuetuan's furry head. Who on earth was Feng Wuyou? Xuetuan raised his head, staring at Shen Chuwei with his azure blue eyes without blinking, and scratched her hand twice with his little claws.
Shen Chuwei saw Xuetuan scratching herself and thought that Xuetuan's paws were itchy. She grabbed Xuetuan's paws and saw the pink and tender pads hidden in the snow-white fur.
"Xuetuan, your paw pads are so pink and tender."
"Meow." Xuetuan placed his other paw on Shen Chuwei's right hand and patted it a few times, looking anxious.
Shen Chuwei looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"
She took out the sausage from the space and tore open the package.
Xuetuan's originally impatient expression changed when he saw the sausage. His eyes lit up green and he opened his mouth and bit the sausage and started eating.
"Crown Princess."
Concubine Xu walked in happily, swinging her handkerchief.
Shen Chuwei saw Concubine Xu coming and took the opportunity to ask her if she knew Feng Wuyou.
Concubine Xu sat down on the couch and glanced at the crib. "The little ones are all asleep."
"Well, I fell asleep after returning from the Cining Palace." Shen Chuwei approached her curiously and asked her mysteriously, "Do you know who Feng Wuyou is?"
Concubine Xu was stunned for a while when she heard this, because the person the man in black was looking for was Feng Wuyou, whose nickname was Xiaojiu.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I'm just curious about who this person is. Do you know?" Shen Chuwei looked at Concubine Xu expectantly, hoping to know about Feng Wuyou from her.
Concubine Xu was in a dilemma. Although she and Shen Chuwei were good sisters, the man in black did not allow her to tell anyone else, as she would lose her credibility if she did.
If I don’t say it, I’ll feel sorry for my little sister.
Concubine Xu never expected that she would encounter the same dilemma as described in the storybook.
"How do you know Feng Wuyou?"
Shen Chuwei held her chin with both hands, "I found out by accident, now I'm just curious about who she is."
Concubine Xu was extremely surprised. Apart from being interested in eating, drinking and sleeping, she had never seen Shen Chuwei be so curious about anything.
"I'll help you find out." To find out means to wait for the man in black to come and ask him. He will definitely know who Feng Wuyou is.
Shen Chuwei nodded.
After Concubine Xu left, Shen Chuwei sat in front of the crib, looking at the sleeping babies. Actually, Xiao Jinyan said to be honest, it was nothing. Who didn't have a childhood sweetheart who they played with especially well?
But he lied.
There are portraits of Feng Wuyou and birthday gifts in the study. If they weren't such good friends and had a very good relationship, would they have kept these things?
Xiao Jinyan actually said no? Shen Chuwei was a little depressed.
During dinner, Xiao Jinyan came back from outside.
The maids brought the food to the table one by one.
Xiao Jinyan came to the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up the dishes slowly. Seeing that Shen Chuwei did not move her chopsticks, she was the most active one during meals.
"Stop looking and eat."
Shen Chuwei picked up the chopsticks to pick up some food, looked at the table full of delicious food, and thought to herself that she should eat first.
At the dinner table, Xiao Jinyan always spoke very little.
After the meal, they only said a few words.
After taking a bath, Xiao Jinyan planned to have a good chat with Xiao Jiu.
If he hadn't heard the messy things she was thinking, he might not have taken such a question to heart.
"Tell me, what happened today?"
Shen Chuwei sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Xiao Jinyan who had a serious face in front of her. It was obviously you who lied, but you still acted like you were right. "I am just curious."
Xiao Jinyan stretched out his long arms and hugged her into his arms, "Don't think about those things in the future. Have I ever had other women around me?"
Shen Chuwei thought about it carefully. Since she came here, she had never paid attention to Xiao Jinyan's daily life. Later she found out that although there were many women around Xiao Jinyan, he didn't touch any of them.
However, the things in the secret compartment are real.
Why didn't Xiao Jinyan admit it?
The more Shen Chuwei thought about it, the more she felt that the secret in the secret compartment must be very important to Xiao Jinyan.
Just like her, she put all the delicious food into the space~ Shen Chuwei didn't mention the things in the secret compartment in person, because she felt guilty. Peeping into other people's secrets is a bad behavior in itself.
She was too curious and couldn't help herself.
Concubine Xu sat in front of the window. It was a hot summer day. She held a round fan in one hand and waved it, looking at the dark night, with the sound of wind and insects in her ears.
This wait lasted for two months.
In the past two months, Chang Liangyuan has been particularly diligent in going to the Cining Palace, reading scriptures to the empress dowager and massaging her legs.
These were what Wanxin usually did. After Chang Liangyuan came every day, Wanxin had some free time.
Wanxin looked at Chang Liangyuan who was massaging the empress dowager's legs and humbly asked for advice: "Sister Chang's technique is very skilled. I should learn more from her."
"Miss Wanxin, thank you for your praise." Chang Liangyuan smiled. You want to compete with me? Are you worthy?
The Queen Mother was very happy when she saw Chang Liangyuan and Wanxin in front of her. "I am already half buried in the ground. With you by my side, I feel better every day."
Chang Liangyuan said first: "It is my blessing to be able to serve the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager loved me the most when I was a child."
Wan Xin came over with the hibiscus cake she had prepared in advance and offered it with both hands: "Empress Dowager, this is the snack I prepared, please try it."
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
The Queen Mother saw the lotus cake, picked up a piece, and praised generously: "Wanxin is clever and skillful, the lotus cake is even more delicious than the one made in the imperial kitchen."
Wan Xin smiled and said, "The Queen Mother likes to eat it, so Wan Xin is happy."
The Queen Mother was eating hibiscus cake. She was old and couldn't eat anything too sweet. The hibiscus cake made by Wanxin was just the right sweetness.
"You are so virtuous, I am a little reluctant to let you get married, but I promised to find a good husband for you, so I have no choice but to let you go."
Wan Xin held the Queen Mother's hand and said reluctantly, "Queen Mother, Wan Xin wants to serve you for the rest of her life."
"What nonsense are you talking about, child?" The Queen Mother said this, but she was very happy in her heart.
After hearing this, Chang Liangyuan had a bad feeling. What if the Queen Mother gave Wanxin to His Highness? Wouldn't that mean there would be one more person vying for favor?
"Grandma, I remember that you like to eat steamed cakes with jujube paste the most. I will make some tomorrow and bring them to you to try."
The Queen Mother nodded happily, "Okay, I haven't eaten it for a long time, I want to try it."
Chang Liangyuan lowered her eyes, her eyes full of calculation.
The next day, Chang Liangyuan came to the Cining Palace with the carefully made date paste steamed cake.
"Grandma Empress, I brought some steamed cakes with jujube paste." Chang Liangyuan stepped forward happily, but her foot slipped, her balance was unstable, and she fell directly to the ground. The steamed cake with jujube paste in her hand also fell to the ground and was dirty and could not be eaten.
Wan Xin stepped forward to help Chang Liangyuan up and asked worriedly, "Sister Chang, are you okay?"
The Queen Mother was also startled, "Lan'er girl, what happened?"
"Grandma, I'm fine, but it's a pity that the jujube paste steamed cake was wasted." Chang Liangyuan endured the pain in her buttocks and looked at the jujube paste steamed cake on the ground. She was so angry. Why was the ground so slippery? The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that the person is fine. It will be the same next time."
At this time, the palace maid came in with small steps, "Miss Wanxin, the jujube paste steamed cake you made is ready."
The Queen Mother was a little surprised, "Wanxin, you also made jujube paste steamed cake?"
Chang Liangyuan raised her head and looked at Wanxin, questioning in her tone, "Why does Miss Wanxin want jujube paste steamed cake?"
"Yesterday, I heard from Sister Chang that the Queen Mother likes to eat jujube paste steamed cakes. I had nothing to do so I tried to make it. I tried several times but failed. I don't know if it will work this time."
The Queen Mother's appetite had been aroused, and she could not wait to say, "Bring it here, let me have a taste."
Wanxin responded and took the date paste steamed cake.
"Queen, please try it."
Chang Liangyuan took a look at the date paste steamed cake and found it was no worse than the one she made. When she saw the empress dowager eating it, she praised Wanxin's cooking for being delicious.
Looking at Wanxin's smug little look, she seemed innocent, but I didn't expect that she was so scheming and deliberately embarrassed her!
The babies are six months old. Although they cannot crawl properly, their body coordination is very good and they can move their bodies to go wherever they want.
It was hot and humid in the summer, and a cool mat was laid on the couch, making it more convenient for the two babies to look for new things everywhere.
Snowballs and round balls became the main toys of the two children.
Xuetuan was lying on the couch with his head pressed very low. Susu was resting his head on Xuetuan's head and playing with his fluffy ears with his little hands.
Xuetuan stared at Taotao in despair, because Taotao was pulling his snow-white whiskers seriously, revealing his sharp teeth from time to time.
Yuangungun, who had been tossed around, hid under the low table and looked at Xuetuan with sympathy: Brother, just hold on a little longer, and when the little ancestors fall asleep, you will be free.
Xuetuan: “…”
Shen Chuwei was lying on the couch taking a nap. She seldom dreamed, but she had a very long dream.
In her dream, she turned into a five-year-old child, running non-stop with her short legs. She felt that the corridor seemed to have no end, and she was so tired that she was out of breath.
The scene changed, and she suddenly grew up and became much taller, but she was still running, and the corridor in front of her was still very long.
There was a slender figure standing at the end of the corridor, and she tried her best to catch up with it.
"Brother Jinyan, wait for me."
Shen Chuwei suddenly opened her eyes and met a pair of dark and sparkling eyes, which made her stunned for a moment.
Xiao Jinyan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, "Did you have a nightmare? You actually called me brother."
