NOVEL NEXT Chapter 40: Being spoiled and arrogant (more updates)
Chang Liangdi looked up at Xu Liangyuan, whose attitude was even more arrogant than hers. She looked at Shen Fengyi again and saw that she was eating grapes, one grape at a time...
Chang Liangdi didn't know whether His Highness would stay with her tonight, so as to avoid embarrassment, she planned to take over and leave a way out for herself. However, before she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the quick-talking Li Liangyuan.
"Do I need to say this? Today is Sister Chang's birthday, and His Highness must accompany Sister Chang. As for Sister Shen," Li Liangyuan smiled and looked at Shen Fengyi: "Sister Shen will not compete with Sister Chang for His Highness, right?"
Li Liangyuan's words were reminding Shen Fengyi that even if His Highness doted on her, she should not compete with Chang Liangdi for favor at this time.
Everyone looked at Shen Fengyi, looking forward to her answer?
Shen Chuwei's mind was on eating, and she didn't care about what they were talking about at all, so naturally she didn't hear Li Liangyuan's anger directed at her.
After eating grapes and cherries, she couldn't help but praise in her heart that Chang Liangdi was worthy of being the person in Xiao Jinyan's heart, and the fruits in the palace were fresh.
Think about her Xiyun Pavilion. She has been here for half a year, not to mention fruit peels, and even the shadow of fruit has not been seen.
Chunxi heard the meaning of Li Liangyuan's words, lowered her eyes and watched her master who was focused on eating, so she pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't remind him, so as not to put her master in a dilemma.
Tao Chenghui glanced at Shen Fengyi, smiled and lowered his eyes to drink tea, and didn't remind him.
Li Liangyuan waited for Shen Fengyi to answer, but she saw her lowering her head to eat and ignoring her at all, and the smile on her face froze.
She was a little unhappy: "Shen Fengyi?"
Shen Chuwei looked up at Li Liangyuan, a little expectant, "Is it time to start the banquet?"
"..." Li Liangyuan: "How can we start the banquet if His Highness hasn't come yet?"
"Oh, then wait a little longer." Shen Chuwei was not in a hurry, and continued to eat cherries.
Li Liangyuan's face was a little ugly. Isn't it just relying on His Highness's favor? Don't take anyone seriously.
Not only Li Liangyuan thought so, most people present thought so, even the little maid standing guard felt that Shen Fengyi was arrogant because of his favor, and he didn't even take Chang Liangdi seriously.
Xu Liangyuan had long guessed that Shen Fengyi was pretending to be stupid by eating, but she was also curious whether His Highness would stay in Xinlan Palace or go to Xiyun Pavilion tonight?
Another half hour passed, and there was no sign of His Highness.
Shen Chuwei had almost finished the tea and fruit in front of her, and then she realized that His Highness had not come yet.
Tao Chenghui saw that the fruit plate in front of Shen Fengyi was empty, so he brought the fruit plate in front of him to her, "Sister Shen, I still have some here, you eat first."
Tao Chenghui came to Xiyun Pavilion the most times, and Shen Chuwei became more familiar with her. She curved her eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Sister Tao."
Tao Chenghui smiled: "Sisters, you're welcome."
Shen Chuwei was not polite either, and took the fruit plate and continued to eat.
Everyone had been waiting for so long, and they couldn't help but wonder if His Highness would come?
"Why hasn't His Highness come yet? Did he forget?"
"Today is Chang Liang Di's birthday, His Highness won't forget."
"It's past dinner time, will His Highness not come?"
Chang Liang Di looked around but didn't see His Highness coming. Listening to the discussion below, she clutched her handkerchief and whispered to Dong Mei: "Go ask."
"Yes." Dong Mei left Xin Lan Hall and trotted to His Highness's bedroom.
Seeing Eunuch Liu outside the study, she asked anxiously: "Eunuch Liu, today is Chang Liang Di's birthday, and we are waiting for His Highness to start the feast."
"Miss Dong Mei, His Highness is busy with work and can't go for a while."
Dong Mei was so anxious that she turned around and around, "But Chang Liang Di and the ladies are waiting, please let Eunuch Liu know."
"Then let's go in and ask." Eunuch Liu pushed open the door of the study and went in.
Wen Chengjun and Yang Qing stopped talking when they saw Eunuch Liu come in.
"Your Highness, someone from Xinlan Palace asked when you will be there." Eunuch Liu asked.
Xiao Jinyan took a sip of tea and replied calmly: "Tell her that I will be there later, so let them eat first."
"Yes." Eunuch Liu came out and told Dongmei what the prince said, but he was very tactful.
"When your Highness is done, he will go to celebrate Chang Liangdi's birthday."
After Eunuch Liu said this, Dongmei was embarrassed to urge him, so she had to return to Xinlan Palace and relayed the prince's words to Chang Liangdi.
"Don't worry, young lady, your Highness will come later."
Chang Liangdi was relieved when she learned that your Highness would come. She looked at everyone with a smile on her lips, "Your Highness is busy with official business and will come later. Sisters will eat first."
After Chang Liangdi spoke, the palace maids began to prepare the dishes, put them in the running water, and circulate the dishes with the water.
"I told you, how could His Highness forget Chang Liang Di's birthday?"
"Your Highness is so busy, but he still takes time to celebrate Chang Liang Di's birthday. The sisters envy him."
It was Shen Chuwei's first time to eat a buffet. When she heard the banquet started, she couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks. Her eyes were fixed on the food floating towards her. Everyone was busy fawning on Chang Liang Di. The food was almost untouched. She picked it up and put it into her bowl to eat slowly.
When it was almost over, the shrill voice of Eunuch Liu came: "His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
When the women heard that the Crown Prince was coming, some looked in the mirror, some put on makeup, and some adjusted their clothes, just to let His Highness see their most beautiful side.
Among them, except Shen Chuwei, she was reluctant to put down her chopsticks and kept picking up dishes and putting them into her bowl.
"His Highness, may you be blessed and safe."
When everyone was paying respects to Xiao Jinyan, Shen Chuwei quietly squatted at the back, chewing four-happiness meatballs.
Xiao Jinyan appeared in Xinlan Palace in a black satin robe, lowered his eyes and glanced at everyone, his sight fell on a pink figure, even with his head down, he found that her cheeks were bulging, and she was eating secretly.
"Get up." Xiao Jinyan retracted his sight and sat down at the first seat.
The ladies took their seats one by one.
Chang Liangdi sat on the right side of Xiao Jinyan.
Shen Chuwei sat back in her seat, which was a little far from Xiao Jinyan, so she was not afraid of being discovered while eating.
Xiao Jinyan said lightly: "Today is Chang Liangdi's birthday, and I am a little late because I am busy with official duties."
Chang Liangdi smiled gently: "Your Highness can come to celebrate my birthday, I am already overjoyed."
"This is the birthday gift I prepared for you."
As soon as Xiao Jinyan finished speaking, Eunuch Liu presented an exquisite brocade box.
"Sister Chang, please open it and let the sisters see it."
"I'm curious about what gift His Highness prepared for Sister Chang. Sister Chang, please let the sisters have a look."
"The gift prepared by His Highness must be unique."
Xu Liangyuan stared at the brocade box curiously for a few times, and always felt that the brocade box looked familiar.
Good afternoon!
