NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 234: Surprise? Does the light bulb know?
"Chunxi, it's ready. Send some to Prince Yu."
Shen Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "Send some to Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui, and some to Xiyun Pavilion, so that they can have a taste. Send some to Eunuch Liu as well."
Chunxi looked up at Shen Chuwei and found that the young lady was very generous today. Even though the roasted whole lamb was very big, there wasn't much left after giving some here and there.
The young lady was happy, so as a servant, she couldn't say much.
Shen Chuwei stared at the roasted whole lamb in Chunxi's hand, which was golden on both sides. She couldn't bear to look away. She licked her lips and urged: "Chunxi, it's cooked and ready to eat."
"My lady, the roasted whole lamb can't run away. Please wait a little longer and let it cool down for a while." Chunxi said, and raised her head to see His Highness standing not far away. She blurted out in surprise, "Your Highness."
Shen Chuwei's eyes stayed on the roasted whole lamb, and she said without raising her head: "Today is an important day for the appointment of the Crown Princess. Your Highness has no time to come."
Xiao Jinyan stood less than two meters away from Shen Chuwei, watching Shen Chuwei lying on the rattan chair. Even if he couldn't see her front, he could guess that her eyes must be looking at the roasted whole lamb.
Chunxi saw Shen Chuwei sitting still, and hurriedly winked at her, my lady, His Highness is really here...
Shen Chuwei saw Chunxi standing still, and raised her head in confusion and saw Chunxi's eyes twitching, "Chunxi, are your eyes cramping?"
Chunxi: "..." Oh my God! My lady, how do my eyes look like they are cramping?
Shen Chuwei found that the atmosphere was a little strange. Chunxi and Xiaotuzi stood up and bowed behind her.
She asked Chunxi in a very low voice, "Is Your Highness really here?"
Chunxi wanted to roll her eyes. You can find out if you look back.
Xiao Jinyan coughed lightly: "Xiaojiu."
Shen Chuwei looked back and saw Xiao Jinyan standing less than two meters behind her in a black court dress. She was stunned for a moment.
"Your Highness, isn't it the day to appoint the Crown Princess today?" So, how could he appear in the Hehuan Palace?
Xiao Jinyan answered concisely, "Cancelled."
"Cancelled?" Shen Chuwei didn't react for a long time. Last night, she heard that the Ministry of Rites was preparing intensively. Now it was cancelled?
Xiao Jinyan glanced at the roasted whole lamb, and looked at Shen Chuwei again, "I haven't had breakfast yet."
I was busy until the fourth watch last night, and got up at the fifth watch. I didn't have time to have breakfast, so I went to the Jinluan Palace to expose Chang Liangdi.
At this moment, I was really hungry.
Shen Chuwei got down from the rattan chair neatly, took two steps forward, and pulled Xiao Jinyan's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, the roasted whole lamb is ready. It's just right to eat roasted whole lamb together."
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the hand that always pulled his sleeve. He stretched out his hand and held it in his palm, "Okay."
Shen Chuwei looked down at the hand being held, and his palm was very hot.
The two sat down at the table one after another. The sauce and lettuce were already prepared on the round table.
Chunxi had already started to cut the roasted whole lamb with a knife. According to Shen Chuwei's instructions, he gave some to them and sent them over.
Then he sliced it.
Shen Chuwei picked up the disposable gloves she had prepared in advance, raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, please stretch out your hand, I will put on the gloves for you."
Xiao Jinyan stretched out her upper hand as she was told, and watched Shen Chuwei put on the disposable transparent gloves on her hand, and then rolled up his sleeves, rolled them up very high, revealing a large section of his white wrist.
After putting on both hands, Shen Chuwei rolled up his sleeves, picked up the gloves and put them on himself with familiarity.
Xiao Jinyan looked at Shen Chuwei's actions indifferently, and it could be seen from her proficiency that she had worn disposable transparent gloves many times before.
Shen Chuwei picked up a piece of roasted lamb with a little greed, and put it directly into her mouth without wrapping it with lettuce and ate it.
Seeing Xiao Jinyan looking at her and not eating, she puffed her cheeks and said, "Your Highness, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it's cold."
Xiao Jinyan looked at her greedy appearance and nodded, "Yeah."
"Shen Liangdi, Shen Liangdi, I have good news for you. Chang Liangdi not only didn't become the Crown Princess, but was demoted to..." Liangyuan...
Concubine Xu swung her handkerchief, and her voice came before she arrived.
When she came in and saw Xiao Jinyan was there, the remaining two choked back their throats.
After hearing the news, Concubine Xu rushed over as soon as possible, thinking that she came fast enough, but she didn't expect Xiao Jinyan to come faster than her.
Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei turned around almost at the same time, and saw Concubine Xu swung her handkerchief and walked in quickly, and suddenly stepped on the brakes. Without asking, they knew it was because of Xiao Jinyan.
In front of Xiao Jinyan, Concubine Xu was so gloating that she died on the spot.
She swung her handkerchief awkwardly and bowed, "Your Highness, may you be blessed with good health."
Xiao Jinyan said lightly, "Get up."
Shen Chuwei still had roasted lamb in her mouth, and said vaguely, "Since Concubine Xu is here, let's eat roasted whole lamb together, so as not to have someone send it."
Concubine Xu glanced at Xiao Jinyan, and when she saw that he didn't say anything, she agreed, "...Okay."
She came to the round table and sat down, put away the handkerchief, and consciously picked up the disposable transparent gloves and put them on her hands.
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Concubine Xu, and saw that she was familiar with her movements. It didn't seem like it was her first time. She came to visit often.
Xu came to visit many times and had eaten for free many times, so she was already familiar with wearing gloves.
Concubine Xu put on her gloves, looked at the roasted lamb, and then looked at Xiao Jinyan, and felt a little complaining in her heart. His Highness came at any other time, but when he was eating, it was difficult for me to show my skills.
Xiao Jinyan had just rolled up a piece of mutton when she heard Concubine Xu complaining. Since the first day Concubine Xu entered the East Palace, she had been complaining about this or that, and she was particularly good at scolding people.
Xiao Jinyan was actually used to Concubine Xu scolding people, and sometimes she was telling the truth.
But this time, he found that Concubine Xu still complained that he shouldn't have come~
It was Concubine Xu's first time eating mutton. She followed Shen Chuwei's example, picked up a piece of lettuce, put it on two pieces of mutton, and then spread some hot sauce, rolled it up and put it in her mouth. For a moment, she forgot that Xiao Jinyan was there, and she took a big bite.
When she put it in her mouth, she saw Xiao Jinyan sitting next to her. It was not right to eat the mutton in her mouth, and it was not right not to eat it.
She couldn't help but complain in her heart again. There was a sentence in the book that was absolutely correct, that men would only affect the speed of eating.
Xiao Jinyan paused chewing and glanced at Concubine Xu. She lowered her head, and her cheeks kept moving. It was obvious that she had stuffed a lot in her mouth. She lowered her head probably because she was afraid of being seen.
He remembered that in order to look dignified and elegant, Concubine Xu used to eat in small bites.
Men affect the speed of eating?
Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at Shen Chuwei. She was taking a big bite of mutton with her cheeks bulging. She was eating happily.
He suddenly understood why Concubine Xu looked familiar when eating, because she looked a bit like Shen Chuwei.
