She did not look Xiao Jinyan in the eye, but instead cast her gaze towards the plate of desserts on the low table, where she saw there were still two more.

She secretly thanked her luck that she came back in time, otherwise Xiao Jinyan would have finished eating.

Shen Chuwei took two breaths and stepped forward to bow, "May your highness be blessed with good health."

Xiao Jinyan saw that she was running out of breath and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I was so happy to hear that Your Highness was here." Shen Chuwei was just making it up. She couldn't say she was afraid that he would eat all the snacks. Xiao Jinyan felt inexplicably happy: "Girls should be more reserved."

Shen Chuwei nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the snowball in his arms and pinched its paws with his hands. Snowball was forced to open his eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan with a confused look on his face.

It's sleeping, okay? He ignored Xuetuan's complaints and said to Shen Chuwei, "Xuetuan has been a little restless these past two days. Maybe he's missing you."

"Xuetuan comes to eat every few days, do you miss me?" Shen Chuwei walked forward happily, bent down, picked up Xuetuan, sat down on the couch, and stroked him a few times.

Xuetuan called out to Shen Chuwei, as if to act coquettishly, "Meow"

Shen Chuwei touched Xuetuan's belly and said with a smile: "You have gained weight."

Xuetuan's dull eyes seemed to be saying, let's not talk about weight, we are still good friends.

Xiao Jinyan looked at the man and the cat and asked a very inappropriate question, "How is the book going?"

Shen Chuwei felt a little guilty, "I have seen it."

Xiao Jinyan nodded in satisfaction and asked, "How do you feel?"

A smell of fish wafted in from the window. Xuetuan, who had been planning to continue sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped off Shen Chuwei nimbly, and disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Jinyan: "..." I asked you to come here for something, why are you running away? If Xuetuan could speak, he would definitely reply without turning his head: "The temptation of fish is too great..."

Shen Chuwei answered honestly: "It's easy to fall asleep after reading."

She falls asleep easily when she starts reading, without even turning the pages. Xiao Jinyan thought she fell asleep because she had been reading for too long, and said with some relief, "Take a proper rest when reading. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Shen Chu nodded guiltily. She didn't even finish looking at one picture.

Xiao Jinyan originally wanted to try whether he could read Shen Chuwei's mind by holding Xuetuan, but Xuetuan ran away, so he could only try next time.

Xiao Jinyan came to Xiyun Pavilion just to see how Shen Chuwei was doing with his studies. Now that it was time for dinner, he stayed for dinner.

Chunxi made sweet and sour fish tonight, and Xuetuan ate half of it.

Even Xiao Jinyan, who was not jealous, picked up several pieces of fish and thought it tasted good. "What is this dish called?"

Shen Chuwei smiled, "Your Highness, this is sweet and sour fish."

Xiao Jinyan paused when he heard this, because he was not jealous and he didn't notice it when he was eating fish just now.

"What's wrong, Your Highness? Don't you like it?" Shen Chuwei looked at the sweet and sour fish in front of her. If she remembered correctly, Xiao Jinyan picked up several pieces and ate them.

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "No, it tastes good."

Shen Chuwei continued to eat, because if she ate slowly with Xiao Jinyan, she would not be full.

Xiao Jinyan instructed Liu Xi, "Tomorrow, let the cook learn how to make this dish."

Liu Xi: “Yes.”

After what happened last night, Shen Chuwei felt a little uneasy as she looked at Xiao Jinyan who was drinking tea.

Xiao Jinyan put down the teacup and looked over. Shen Chuwei subconsciously lowered her head, as if asking her to ignore her existence.

In Xiao Jinyan's eyes, this action was a sign of shyness.

"What's your nickname?"

Shen Chu paused slightly when she heard this. She didn't seem to have a nickname. She only remembered that she often dreamed that someone called her Xiaojiu in her dreams.

Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Jinyan thought she was embarrassed to say, "Just say it."

Shen Chuwei asked: "Xiao Jiu?"

Xiao Jinyan repeated silently: "Xiao Jiu?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "When no one is around, I will call you Xiaojiu."

"Okay." Shen Chuwei didn't care. It was just a name, Xiaojiu or Dajiu, it didn't matter.

Before leaving, Xiao Jinyan advised: "Rest early at night, there is no rush to read."

Shen Chuwei listened to the words and took them to heart, so after taking a bath, she directly lifted the quilt and lay in the bed, hugging the cat pillow and slept soundly.

Fengyi Palace

The queen had endured two days and the word "crazy" could no longer describe how much she wanted to eat pickled beans, dried radishes, spicy and sour potato shreds... these appetizers.

Today, the queen sat at the dining table and had no desire to even pick up her chopsticks.

The Queen had lost her appetite and had visibly lost a lot of weight. Qingying felt very distressed when she saw this.

"Empress, I will go to the East Palace to ask if these side dishes are still available." Qingying asked in a questioning tone, fearing that her master would be unhappy.

The queen wanted to be tough, but she really wanted to eat, so she said, "Don't tell me that I asked you to go."

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

Qingying nodded vigorously, "I understand. It was I who took the initiative to ask."

The queen then nodded in satisfaction.

Qingying didn't delay and turned around and went to the East Palace.

Liu Xi saw Aunt Qingying coming from afar and greeted her with a smile: "Anything for Aunt Qingying?"

Qingying smiled and said, "The Queen has lost her appetite and can't eat. She has lost a lot of weight. Do you still have the side dishes that Eunuch Liu sent last time? I can take some back to serve as a meal for the Queen."

"The Queen's loss of appetite is a top priority." Liu Xi was a little embarrassed: "It's just that Madam Qingying, the raw materials of those side dishes are too precious. We don't have them at the moment. We have to wait for a while."

Qingying was a little disappointed when she heard that it was gone. No wonder it hadn't been sent for many days.

"What can we do? The Queen prefers those side dishes to rice."

Liu Xi thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, Madam Qingying. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a sweet and sour fish. How about you take it back for the Queen to try?"

When Qingying heard it was fish, she didn't have any expectations, "This is the only way."

"Madame Qingying, please wait a moment. We will get it right away."

Liu Xi walked quickly towards the small kitchen holding the whisk.

Qingying didn't have to wait long before Liu Xi came hurriedly over with a lunch box.

"Madame Qingying, this is sweet and sour fish, take it."

"Okay." Qingying quickly returned to Fengyi Palace with the food box.

The Queen became alert when she saw Qingying coming in with a food box.

Qingying repeated what Liu Xi said.

The Queen then realized that it wasn't that the Prince didn't send her side dishes these days, but that he was temporarily unavailable.

She misunderstood the prince.

Qingying placed the sweet and sour fish in front of the Empress and said, "Empress, this is sweet and sour fish. Liu Xi asked me to bring it back."

When the queen saw that it was a very common fish, she instantly lost her appetite.

There was fish and meat in Fengyi Palace every day, in all kinds of dishes, and she was tired of it.

The queen put down her chopsticks in disappointment.

Seeing this, Qingying picked up the chopsticks and handed them to the Queen, advising: "Queen, please eat something."

Good night, my babies!

Updates will be made in the early morning to see how fast the young master is typing. No need to stay up late to wait. 　　Oh! 　　I am blocking the road to rob the monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!
