When Tao Chenghui arrived at Xiyun Pavilion, Shen Chuwei had just woken up from a nap and was sitting on the couch drinking tea to wake herself up.

Tao Chenghui stepped forward and bowed, "Is Sister Shen's injury better?"

When Shen Chuwei saw Tao Chenghui coming, she subconsciously looked at Ding Xiang, mainly because Tao Chenghui would bring her delicious food almost every time he came.

In modern times, the aunt next door would send her delicious food every now and then.

When she saw Dingxiang holding a lunch box in her hand, she knew that Tao Chenghui had brought her some delicious food again.

"I'm much better now. Sister Tao, please sit down and talk."

Tao Chenghui sat down with her skirt lifted up, took the food box from Dingxiang and placed it on the low table, then smiled and took out a plate of snacks and placed it in front of Shen Chuwei.

"This is a snack from the alleys in the Jiangnan area. My brother sent it back to me urgently. You can try it."

Shen Chuwei looked at the plate of dessert in front of her. It looked a bit like fried tofu and was golden on the outside. She picked up a piece with curiosity and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and filled with red beans, which was sweet but not greasy.

Tao Chenghui looked at Shen Chuwei eating. It was not elegant or dignified, but it was very appetizing. She wanted to eat another piece even though she had already eaten a few pieces.

Tao Chenghui originally wanted to tell Shen Chuwei that the Queen wanted to make Chang Liangdi a concubine, but seeing that Shen Chuwei's attention was all on eating, he simply didn't mention it to avoid disturbing her interest in eating.

She glanced around the room and found that although she had been promoted to Consort Liang, the furnishings had hardly changed.

With her sharp eyes, she noticed a dough figurine inserted in the white jade bottle. The dough figurine looked about 70% similar to the prince, and the color of the clothes was also the color that the prince often wore.

There are no such folk things in the palace.

Could it be that when His Highness was out, he had someone make a dough figurine and gave it to Shen Chuwei?

Tao Chenghui looked at Shen Chuwei in surprise as if he had discovered something extraordinary. She was eating a red bean roll.

After being together for so long, I still know that she likes to eat.

Tao Chenghui did not sit for long. Before leaving, Shen Chuwei gave Tao Chenghui a liter of melon seeds.

Reciprocity is the norm. You can’t always eat other people’s food.

Shen Chuwei ate six pieces and had three pieces left, which she planned to eat later.

* Since returning from Xiyun Pavilion, Shen Mingzhu has felt more and more unwilling to accept the fact. Why could a wild girl from the countryside be favored by His Highness?

She is the eldest daughter of the Shangshu, and is better than Shen Chuwei in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Your Highness is really blind and cruel to fall in love with a vulgar girl.

When Shen Mingzhu was feeling depressed, she saw Xu Liangyuan walking in waving a handkerchief, and her face suddenly turned cold.

Shen Mingzhu and Xu Liangyuan have known each other since childhood, and are also somewhat famous in the circle of rich girls in Beijing.

The two have been competing with each other since they were young. They call themselves sisters on the surface, but they are competing with each other secretly.

"How come Xu Liangyuan has so much free time to come to my Lanyue Palace?"

"Come and sit down if you have nothing to do. Shen Liangyuan's place is really deserted." Xu Liangyuan found a stool, bent down and waved the handkerchief in her hand, swept away the dust before sitting down.

When Shen Mingzhu saw her action, she knew it was a clear mockery of her place being deserted and dusty with no one coming.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Liangyuan is here."

Xu Liangyuan pretended not to understand what she said and said, "I thought Shen Liangdi was in favor. If one person is successful, everyone will benefit. Shen Liangyuan will also be favored. It seems that I thought too much."

Shen Mingzhu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Why did she bring up such a topic? Aren't you very clear about the relationship between her and Shen Chuwei?

"Xu Liangyuan is such a joke. As a legitimate daughter, do I need to rely on the power of a concubine's daughter?"

"Shen Chuwei was a concubine's daughter, but she was so ambitious that she turned her life around and jumped three levels to become a concubine." Xu Liangyuan deliberately emphasized the last sentence.

Shen Mingzhu snorted, "It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. She can't always be so lucky."

Xu Liangyuan pretended to sigh, "But I can't stand Your Highness doting on her." Your Highness just won't dote on you, and you'll be mad at me!

Shen Mingzhu couldn't help rolling her eyes: "..." Shut up! Xu Liangyuan ignored Shen Mingzhu who rolled her eyes in anger and continued: "Do you know that the Queen wants to make Chang Liangdi a concubine and temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace?"

After hearing this, a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in her heart.

Why do you have to curry favor with that bitch Shen Chuwei?

After Xu Liangyuan left, Shen Mingzhu took a bath, changed her clothes, and went to Xinlan Palace with the gifts.

* Liu Xi pushed open the study door and came in to ask, "Your Highness, where are we having dinner tonight?"

Because His Highness likes the food in Xiyun Pavilion, Liu Xi is not sure what His Highness thinks, so he always comes to ask an hour in advance.

Xiao Jinyan raised his head and saw the dough figure in the pen holder. It was Shen Chuwei wearing men's clothes and a face scarf. Her clear eyes were lifelike.

The flower ornament between the eyebrows makes the eyes look even more beautiful.

I wonder how she is reading those books?

"Let's go to Xiyun Pavilion now."

“Yes.”

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

Before leaving, Xiao Jinyan saw Xuetuan sleeping on the couch. After thinking for a while, he bent down and picked it up.

Xuetuan squinted his eyes and glanced at Xiao Jinyan, then closed them again. He was not stupid, and it was much more comfortable to have someone holding him than to walk by himself.

Xiyun Pavilion

Shen Chuwei watched as the chicks in the chicken coop grew a lot. The down on their bodies was almost gone, and the new down was not as pretty.

After checking out the chicken coop, she went to see how the fish pond was being dug.

Xiao Guizi and Xiao Anzi were digging hard with shovels, and a pit could already be seen.

Shen Chu nodded with satisfaction, "I'll give you some extra legs tonight."

Xiao Anzi and Xiao Guizi were delighted and said in unison: "Thank you for the reward, young master."

Shen Chuwei looked at the fish pond. Although she didn't have fish fry now, it didn't mean she wouldn't have them in the future. She would always find a way to get them.

It is better to be prepared.

When Xiao Jinyan came to Xiyun Pavilion, he found that Shen Chuwei was not in the room.

Seeing this, Liu Xi came out and asked Little Rabbit, "Where is Shen Liangdi?"

"Shen Liangdi is in the backyard. I'll go call her back right away." The little rabbit said and trotted to the backyard.

Xiao Jinyan lifted her skirt and sat down on the couch. She saw five books on the low table. These five books were given to her by him. One of them was opened to the first page.

And a plate of dessert.

He hadn't eaten much for lunch, so he felt a little hungry when he saw the snacks. Since he was in Xiyun Pavilion, he reached into the plate without thinking, picked up one with his slender fingers, put it in his mouth and took a bite. It was a little sweet.

Xiao Jinyan is very picky about food. He won’t eat anything that is too sweet or too spicy, and he won’t eat onions or vinegar.

The little rabbit ran to the backyard and saw Shen Chuwei, and shouted: "My lady, the prince is here."

Shen Chuwei thought of the three snacks left on the low table. Xiao Jinyan had a criminal record and didn't leave any for her.

Without giving her time to think, she ran into the house, picking up her skirt.

Chunxi was relieved when she saw this. She thought that the young lady cared more and more about His Highness, and was so eager to see Him. His Highness would definitely be very happy if he knew about this.

Then he followed.

The little rabbit only felt a gust of wind blowing past his eyes, and when he looked again, the little master was gone.
