NOVEL NEXT Chapter 131 What’s so good about the belly?
Shen Chuwei stood up and blessed Concubine Xu with strawberry ice cream in her mouth and said vaguely: "Strawberry ice cream."
Even so, Concubine Xu still heard the word strawberry.
Last time Shen Chuwei gave her a basket of strawberries. She ate a few and gave some back to her family to try.
She was reluctant to eat the rest and wanted to keep it for a few more days, but it ended up spoiling, making her regret not eating it all early in the morning.
Of course I'm hungry for strawberries now.
"This is the first time I've heard of strawberry ice cream." Concubine Xu waved her handkerchief and sat down in front of Shen Chuwei. She kept staring at the strawberry ice cream in her hand. She wanted to try it out of curiosity.
"Shen Liangdi, I think it's okay to give it a try, right?" Concubine Xu and Shen Chuwei have been together n times, so when they talk, they have to go straight and beat around the bush, and it's useless to be dumb.
Although Shen Chuwei protects the food, there is a lot of strawberry ice cream, and when he can't finish it in three days, he will be more generous.
"Chunxi, serve some to Concubine Xu."
Chunxi didn't like Concubine Xu very much, the only thing she liked was watching Concubine Xu quarrel with others. She took a glass cup, filled a bowl and handed it to Concubine Xu, and then offered a silver spoon.
Concubine Xu stared at the strawberry ice cream in the bowl for a while, then took a mouthful of it with a spoon and put it into her mouth out of curiosity. She raised her head in surprise, "Shen Liangdi, this strawberry ice cream tastes good."
Shen Chuwei was not surprised at all that Concubine Xu had such an expression. It was generally difficult for girls to refuse strawberry ice cream.
Concubine Xu suddenly came over: "Shen Liangdi, do you know about the New Year's Eve family dinner?"
Shen Chu shook his head slightly, expressing that he didn't know.
"On New Year's Eve, the Emperor will hold a family banquet. Logically speaking, His Highness will bring the Crown Princess to attend. Unfortunately, there is no Crown Princess, so His Highness will choose one of us. Who do you think His Highness will bring to attend?" Concubine Xu said while Eating strawberry ice cream while gossiping.
Shen Chuwei heard about the family banquet held by the emperor. There would definitely be a lot of delicious food. Xiao Jinyan should take Chang Liangdi there.
"It's probably Chang Liangdi."
"Yes, Chang Liangdi is the queen's niece. Even if I am a concubine, it is unlikely that she will go." Concubine Xu took a mouthful of strawberry ice cream and said angrily: "I am also a concubine after all. What can’t I go to?”
Shen Chu nodded slightly, but it would depend on His Highness's wishes as to who he would bring to participate. No matter how much he said, it would be in vain.
Concubine Xu snorted, "Chang Liangdi had better get a cold stomachache, so she won't be able to go."
Shen Chuwei: "..." Is this okay?
Concubine Xu took two mouthfuls of strawberry ice cream and suddenly looked at Shen Chuwei. She looked her up and down and suddenly grinned: "I think His Highness might take you to the New Year's Eve family banquet."
Shen Chuwei paused while eating the strawberry ice cream, "Me?"
"Yes, His Highness loves you so much, there is a high possibility that he will take you there." Concubine Xu became more and more enthusiastic, "I would rather you go to the New Year's Eve family banquet than Chang Liangdi. Otherwise, with her ”
Shen Chuwei actually wanted to go there too. Why not go if there was delicious food? It's just that as a tool person, it's more difficult for her.
If Xiao Jinyan takes her there for Qi Changliangdi, it can only mean that Xiao Jinyan really doesn't understand women's thoughts.
After eating the strawberry ice cream, Concubine Xu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. She couldn't help but look at Shen Chuwei's belly. She asked with a puzzled look: "Shen Liangdi, His Highness has favored you so many times, why don't you react at all?"
Shen Chuwei looked at Concubine Xu with a confused expression, "What's your reaction?"
Concubine Xu gestured at her round belly with her hand, "My child, you have slept with me so many times, so logically you should have it."
Concubine Xu seemed to have thought of something, "Didn't you ask the imperial doctor to check your pulse? Is it due to physical reasons? Or other reasons?"
After Concubine Xu finished speaking, she whispered again: "Let me tell you, countless people in the East Palace are staring at your belly."
Shen Chuwei looked down at her belly. She reached out and touched it. She found that her belly was flat. Of course she knew that she was not pregnant. She and Xiao Jinyan had shared the bed so many times without even kissing.
A kiss on the cheek doesn’t count!
When Concubine Xu saw Shen Chuwei's behavior, she thought she was worried, "His Highness loves you so much, it will happen sooner or later."
Shen Chuwei: "..." If it really happened, it would be a wonder in the world!
Concubine Xu had enough to eat and drink, and after finishing gossiping, she went back waving her handkerchief.
Concubine Xu looked in the bronze mirror, her slender hands held her temples, and she smiled, very satisfied with her makeup.
"Caixia, prepare some delicious food. I want to show my face in front of His Highness. I am not a mere decoration."
"My slave, go and prepare now." Caixia responded and went to prepare.
The three dishes were quickly prepared. Concubine Xu twisted her waist and waved her handkerchief before heading to the prince's palace.
Liu Xi saw Concubine Xu coming from a distance. He greeted her with a smile, "Concubine Xu."
Concubine Xu raised her chin, "Eunuch Liu, where is Your Highness?"
Liu Xi smiled and replied: "His Royal Highness is still busy in the study."
Concubine Xu said with a smile: "I brought some delicious food for Your Highness to try."
"Let us go in and inquire." Liu Xi turned around, pushed open the study door, walked in, and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, Concubine Xu has brought delicious food and would like to have dinner with Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused, and he muttered for a while: "Pass the meal."
"Here." Liu Xi turned around and went out.
Dinner was served to the table one after another by the maids, including the three dishes brought by Concubine Xu.
Concubine Xu hadn't eaten with His Highness for a long time, so she was inevitably a little excited, "Your Highness, this is what I asked the kitchen to make specially, please try it."
Before Concubine Xu picked up her chopsticks, Liu Xi had already taken a step forward, picked up the spare chopsticks, and served the dish to His Highness.
Xiao Jinyan took a little and put it in his mouth to taste it. It was no different from what the imperial kitchen made. After eating a little, he didn't take a second bite.
When Liu Xi saw it, he knew that his master didn't like it, so he didn't continue to take it.
After dinner, Liu Xi brought a cup of new tea and placed it in front of His Highness.
Xiao Jinyan picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.
Concubine Xu grabbed her handkerchief and took two steps forward, with a charming smile on her face: "Your Highness, I have recently learned a massage technique that can relieve fatigue. Would you like to try it?"
Xiao Jinyan's voice was cold and distant: "Concubine Xu is thoughtful. I have to deal with business later and have no time to enjoy it."
Concubine Xu pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. How could there be so many business to deal with every day? I went to Xiyun Pavilion every few days, but I didn't see Your Highness have any business to deal with.
I am a concubine after all, and I just perfunctorily do it like this!
Xiao Jinyan: "..." Where is this palace going? Do you need to be so nosy?
"Your Highness, I have just learned a new song. Can I sing it to Your Highness tonight?" Concubine Xu leaned towards His Highness and touched the tea. The freshly brewed tea was a little hot.
Concubine Xu's skin was delicate, and she cried out in pain immediately.
"Ah!!!"
