Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei for a long time. He felt depressed as he didn't hear what she was thinking. He was also confused. Could it be that the talisman water was useless?
Eunuch Liu came in hunched over and asked, "Your Highness, it's time for lunch. Would you like to have the meal?"
Xiao Jinyan: "Serve the meal."
"Yes." Eunuch Liu took the order and went to serve the meal.
Shen Chuwei's eyes, which had been dark, instantly lit up when she heard about lunch. The prince's food and drink expenses were much more luxurious than hers, so there must be a lot of delicious food for lunch.
It's already dinner time, the prince should let her stay for lunch, right?
Xiao Jinyan felt a little disappointed, so he waved his hand and said, "Go back."
"..." It was time for dinner, and the prince didn't even bother to show off, so she could just take the opportunity to eat for free!
Since she couldn't eat for free, Shen Chuwei could only bow and say, "I'll take my leave."
Not long after Shen Chuwei left, Lu Zhaoyan walked in.
"How is your highness?"
Xiao Jinyan shook his head: "Mind reading still doesn't work on her, do you have any other ideas?"
"Let me think of a solution."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes darkened. He would not leave a time bomb around him.
At the entrance of the Buddhist temple, the ladies who had just finished chanting the sutras were helped back to the palace by their personal palace maids.
"It hurts so much." Xu Liangyuan rubbed her legs and complained to herself that the prince was sick. How could he keep his legs after kneeling for an hour? "My lady, I will help you go back." Caixia, the personal maid, carefully helped Xu Liangyuan.
Xu Liangyuan was unhappy when she thought of Shen Liangdi who was fasting in the Buddhist temple, and of course she wanted Shen Liangdi to be unhappy too.
"Caixia, help me go visit Shen Liangdi."
"Yes." Caixia helped Xu Liangyuan to the side room of the Buddhist temple.
Shen Liangdi had been eating vegetarian food for four days in a row, without any oil or fat, and her mouth was almost dry. She looked at the three vegetarian dishes in front of her and had no appetite at all.
There are still more than 20 days left. How can she survive? "Sister Shen, are you having lunch?"
Xu Liangyuan walked in with a smile on her face, supported by Caixia.
Shen Liangdi felt unlucky whenever she saw Xu Liangyuan. The last time Chang Liangdi fell into the water, if it weren’t for Xu Liangyuan, she wouldn’t have been punished by the prince to be confined to her room for a month.
Even if you don't deal with it, you still have to do the superficial work.
"Why is my sister here?"
"I heard that my sister would be fasting here for a month, so I came to see her." Xu Liangyuan looked down at the three vegetarian dishes in front of her, and then thought that Shen Liangdi would not be able to see His Highness for a long time, and she felt a lot better.
Shen Liangdi snorted in her heart, thinking that the weasel was paying a New Year's visit to the chicken, and had no good intentions.
Xu Liangyuan looked down at the three plates of vegetarian dishes and covered her mouth in surprise, "Oh my! Sister only eats vegetables and radishes? No wonder your complexion isn't as rosy as before, sister has suffered these days."
Shen Liangdi touched her face in fear. What women care about most is their face, not to mention the prince's woman. How can she compete for favor with a ruined face?
But I was too embarrassed to get a mirror to look at myself in front of Xu Liangyuan.
"Sister, what are you talking about? It is my blessing to be able to fast for His Highness. How can eating some vegetarian food be considered as suffering?"
"My sister is right. I don't have her luck. I ate braised pork elbow yesterday, and the imperial kitchen made Dongpo pork today. I'm a little sick of it." Xu Liangyuan said with a smile.
Shen Liangdi swallowed her saliva, and when she looked at the vegetarian dishes in front of her, she couldn't eat any of them.
Xu Liangyuan saw her swallowing her saliva and smiled proudly in her heart, thinking, I'll make you greedy to death.
"Today, His Highness asked Lord Lu to come and pray for the sisters. Unfortunately, my sister was fasting here and couldn't go. It's a pity to miss such a rare opportunity."
Yesterday, Shen Liang Di heard from her personal maid that the Crown Prince asked Lord Lu to pray for them. She was so angry that she couldn't go because she was fasting that she didn't sleep well all night.
Now Xu Liangyuan is nagging again, which is just adding fuel to the fire. I'm so angry.
This is not the point. The point is Xu Liangyuan’s next sentence, which almost made her vomit blood in anger.
"Oh, by the way, I have another piece of good news to tell you, sister. Shen Fengyi embroidered a sachet and His Highness loved it very much. Today he even rewarded Shen Fengyi in public. Sister, you should be happy for your younger sister, right?"
Shen Chuwei is favored, wouldn't Shen Mingzhu be so angry that she vomits blood?
"Sister, please continue to have lunch. I, your younger sister, will go back first."
When Xu Liangyuan left, she walked out of the Buddhist temple with a smile on her face.
As soon as Xu Liangyuan left, Shen Liangdi angrily cleared away all the dishes in front of her.
"Shen Chuwei, you actually dared to seduce the master while I was away? Shameless thing!"
* As dinner approached, Eunuch De from the imperial kitchen brought in a fresh sea bass with two young eunuchs.
Eunuch De is an old man in the palace and has witnessed too many examples of concubines turning around. If a concubine who has been sent to a cold palace can make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pay attention to her twice, it means that she has a chance to turn around.
Chunxi was somewhat flattered to see that Eunuch De from the lunch room had come in person. He had not been well received by the imperial kitchen several times before...
"Eunuch De, how dare I trouble you to personally deliver dinner."
Shen Chuwei was cracking melon seeds. When she saw Eunuch De coming, she stood up.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Eunuch De took two steps forward and bowed, "Your servant greets the young lady."
Shen Chuwei said, "Eunuch De is polite."
Eunuch De stood up straight, then smiled and said to Chunxi, "It's my duty." Then he pointed at the perch in the basin and said, "This is fresh perch. I wonder if the young lady is satisfied?"
Shen Chuwei was so excited when she heard about the bass, her wish came true!
She trotted over to the eunuch and looked down to see the perch in the basin, which was alive and kicking and looked very fresh.
She smiled and said, "The sea bass is very good. I'd like to trouble Master De to deliver it personally."
Chunxi took out some change from her sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Eunuch De's pocket.
"You're welcome, my lady." Eunuch De happily accepted it and told the eunuch to send it to the kitchen.
"I'll take my leave first." Eunuch De left with the young eunuch.
Chunxi looked down at the perch, puzzled: "My lady, why did the lunch room send a fresh perch over?"
Shen Chuwei said proudly: "My wish today is to ask the imperial kitchen to send a fresh sea bass."
Chunxi was shocked, "Master Lu is amazing."
Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement.
Chunxi reacted and became a little excited: "My lady, with such a good opportunity, how could you wish for a fish?"
"What do you want if you don't want fish?"
"I want the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"I was only thinking about grilled fish at the time." She had been craving it for days~ Chunxi was very disappointed: "How can grilled fish be as important as the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Shen Chuwei answered as a matter of course: "Grilled fish can satisfy your craving."
What can she do with a greedy master? Of course, she kills fish and cooks.
“…I will go and kill the fish.”
Onions, garlic, and green onions are all readily available in the backyard.
There is a ready-made one in the baking tray space, just clean it and you can use it.
Half an hour later, some baby cabbages and enoki mushrooms were placed on the round table. The soup in the baking tray was boiling and the fragrance soon wafted out.
As soon as Shen Chuwei put the chopsticks in, she heard a "meow."
Looking down, she saw Xuetuan standing at her feet, looking at her with his chin raised, his deep blue eyes full of anticipation.
"Xuetuan, you came at the right time."
