NOVEL NEXT Chapter 31 White and tender
Shen Chuwei thought that there was no lettuce here, and Xiao Jinyan had never eaten it, so it was normal for her to doubt.
"Of course it's edible, otherwise why is it called lettuce? Your Highness, don't worry about it."
In fact, she didn't know why it was called lettuce~
Hearing this, Xiao Jinyan took the lettuce and mutton roll from Shen Chuwei's hand with his slender fingers, hesitated for a while, put it into his mouth and took a bite, chewing slowly. Although the vegetables were raw, they were crisp and sweet. Eating them with roasted mutton would not feel greasy.
It's just a little spicy~
Suddenly, a white figure jumped down from the top of the wall, ran all the way over, and jumped directly into Shen Chuwei's legs. It was so fast that it seemed like someone was chasing it.
Shen Chuwei only felt her legs sink, and when she looked down, Xuetuan was looking at her aggrievedly, "Meow."
"Xuetuan, you came at the right time, there is roasted mutton to eat."
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Xuetuan, and Xuetuan turned his head and ignored him. That posture seemed to say that he came here to eat and drink without taking me with him!
"..."Are you still angry?
Shen Chuwei stared at Xiao Jinyan expectantly, and waited until he finished eating before asking: "Your Highness, how does it taste?"
Xiao Jinyan slightly raised the corner of his lips, "It tastes better than I thought."
"Your Highness, this kind of vegetable is very suitable for eating raw, but it tastes okay if fried." While Shen Chuwei was talking, the two hands did not stop, and first fed a piece to Xuetuan.
Then he picked up a piece of mutton and put a little minced garlic, and put it directly into his mouth. The seasoning was complete and it tasted several times better than the one at the welcoming banquet. She showed a satisfied expression.
Xiao Jinyan saw that Shen Chuwei ate differently from him, and couldn't help asking: "Why don't you use lettuce and peppers?"
Shen Chuwei held the mutton in her mouth and spoke vaguely: "Your Highness, I want to eat a few bites of the original flavor first, and then roll the lettuce and peppers when I get tired of it."
Xiao Jinyan suddenly felt a burning sensation in her mouth, thinking, how do you know that I don't want to try the original flavor first?
At this time, Eunuch Liu was very considerate and placed a cup of warm water in front of His Highness. Seeing His Highness' lips swollen due to spicy food, he sighed and stepped aside.
Xiao Jinyan calmly picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of tea to relieve the burning feeling in his mouth.
Shen Chuwei ate a few pieces of roasted lamb. Seeing Xiao Jinyan finished eating and was drinking water, she picked up disposable gloves and asked him, "Your Highness, do you need me to put on gloves for you?"
There are many disposable gloves in the space~
Xiao Jinyan put down the teacup and looked at Shen Chuwei in confusion, "Hmm?"
Shen Chuwei explained: "Wearing this will not dirty your hands. Your Highness can eat whatever flavor you want."
Xiao Jinyan and the women in the East Palace ate together, and they all scrambled to serve him food. Shen Chuwei was the first one to let him do it himself.
"You put it on for me."
"Okay."
Xiao Jinyan stretched out his hands in front of her.
Shen Chuwei held a glove and looked at the hands in front of her. When they first met, she only knew that his hands were big. Now, looking at him closely, his hands are not only big but also beautiful, with slender fingers and clean and spotless.
After she carefully put on two gloves for him, she saw his sleeves. Such wide sleeves would definitely hinder him from eating delicious food, so she took the initiative to roll up his sleeves to the elbow.
Xiao Jinyan watched Shen Chuwei roll up her sleeves on her own initiative. If it was someone else, he would definitely think it was a deliberate seduction.
As for Shen Chuwei, after getting along for a few times, he found that she was different from other women.
When the sleeves were rolled up to reveal a white wrist, Shen Chuwei couldn't help but praise it. Tsk, this skin is white and tender, it must be better to touch than hands.
Xiao Jinyan: "..." Still complimenting people like this?
Shen Chuwei raised her tender little face, "Your Highness, you can enjoy the food now."
Xiao Jinyan did not comment, lowered his eyes and looked at his wrist, which was a little unaccustomed, but much more convenient. He learned from Shen Chuwei to use his hands to take the lettuce, put the mutton on it, slowly rolled it up, and then ate it slowly.
Shen Chuwei took the mutton to feed Xuetuan, and saw that Xiao Jinyan only took the lettuce and mutton. She took a look at the garlic chili sauce and suddenly realized that Xiao Jinyan might not eat garlic or spicy food.
She just applied a lot of chili~
It's over. Xiao Jinyan has such a nice voice. If he eats chili, his throat will definitely be uncomfortable.
Shen Chuwei's guilt was all heard by Xiao Jinyan. He turned his head and looked at Shen Chuwei calmly. She was stuffing a piece of mutton into her mouth...
"Shen Fengyi."
Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan with a guilty conscience. She swallowed the mutton and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"
Xiao Jinyan said slowly, "You helped me out today. I always reward and punish clearly."
When Shen Chuwei heard that there was a reward, she subconsciously thought it was food. She curved her eyebrows and said, "Your Highness is too polite. These are what I should do."
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Well, I will promote you to Liang Di."
Even if the queen was not satisfied and would be angry afterwards, he was determined to promote Shen Chuwei's position and let Shen Chuwei be on an equal footing with Chang Liang Di.
When Shen Chuwei heard that it was a promotion, she didn't feel anything at first, but later she realized that promotion was not a good thing.
Because promotion involves too many things…
"Your Highness, can I change the reward?" She negotiated carefully, fearing that the prince would be unhappy.
Xiao Jinyan's eyes flashed with surprise, "Why?"
Shen Chuwei explained: "I have just been punished, it is not appropriate for Your Highness to reward me today."
Xiao Jinyan did not expect her to refuse. If it were someone else, they would have happily bowed and thanked her.
"You really don't want the title of Liang Di?"
Shen Chuwei shook her head vigorously.
Xiao Jinyan chuckled, "Forget it, it's up to you."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Chuwei continued to eat the mutton with peace of mind, but she was a little tired of it and started to eat it with lettuce.
Xiao Jinyan saw that there was still a lot of mutton, and he and Shen Chuwei would definitely not be able to finish it. Thinking of Xiao Jinyu, he ordered: "Eunuch Liu, send some roasted mutton to the seventh prince to try."
"Yes." With the help of Chunxi, Eunuch Liu cut a piece and put it on the plate, and then took the food box and put it in.
Xiao Jinyan saw the lettuce and said: "Put some lettuce in case he gets tired of it."
"Yes." Eunuch Liu took some lettuce and put it in, then covered the lid of the food box and carried the food box to Qiancheng Hall.
Xiao Jinyan was full after eating some, so he took off his gloves and picked up the teacup to drink tea to relieve the greasiness.
Seeing this, Shen Chuwei immediately stood up and walked into the house. When she came out, she had a cup of tea in her hand.
Xiao Jinyan looked at her in confusion as she walked over and placed the cup in front of him, "What is this?"
Shen Chuwei explained: "Your Highness, this is lemon honey tea, to protect your throat."
So that's it.
Xiao Jinyan put down the cup in his hand, picked up the tea prepared by Shen Chuwei and handed it to his lips. He took a sip. It was a little sour, mostly sweet but not greasy, so he drank two more sips.
There is one more chapter, which will be updated later.
