Chapter 12: Wine sent by the Queen to cheer people up
Chapter 12 The entertainment wine sent by the Queen~
Shen Chu replied slightly: "Have dinner with His Highness."
Xu Liangyuan raised her chin and looked at Shen Chuwei with an arrogant expression, "Sister, I'm not telling you, you have to be moderate in your fight for favor. Otherwise, if you offend His Highness, it won't be as simple as being kicked out, but being imprisoned in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. "
Shen Chuwei replied: "Thank you sister for the tip. I promise to only eat and do nothing else."
Xu Liangyuan: "..." They are all vying to come and have dinner with His Highness, so why don't they count? Do you have to wait until you climb into bed?
Eunuch Liu took a step forward and explained with a smile: "Master Xu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked Master Shen to come to dine with you. You two young masters, please go in first. It is not good to keep His Highness waiting for a long time."
Xu Liangyuan snorted, waved her handkerchief and walked in first.
Shen Chuwei also followed in.
In front of the dining table, the maids served the food one after another.
Xiao Jinyan was wearing a plain gold-woven robe and a jade brocade belt around his waist. He sat there quietly, looking dignified and cold and arrogant.
When they arrived at the dining table, the two came forward to greet them.
"Wish you all the best, Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan raised her phoenix eyes slightly and said calmly: "Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Xu Liangyuan wanted to sit next to the prince, but as soon as she walked over, she found a cat staring at her on the chair, which frightened her so much that she took several steps back.
This is the prince's pet Snow Ball, who is very fierce. Last time, he scratched her favorite dress and almost scratched her delicate skin.
In order to avoid being caught again, she had to sit further away.
Shen Chuwei didn't want to sit with Xiao Jinyan, which would hinder her eating speed. Her eyes fell on the right spot between Xu Liangyuan and Xuetuan.
She walked over and sat down. She originally wanted to lick the snowballs twice, but had to give up due to Xiao Jinyan's presence.
Xue Tuan called Shen Chu slightly: "Meow."
Xu Liangyuan raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth and snickered, "Shen Fengyi, why don't you sit here?" There will be a lot of fun when the cat goes crazy later.
Shen Chu turned his head slightly and looked at Xue Tuan. The hand under the table made a greeting gesture towards Xuetuan.
Xiao Jinyan's cold eyes swept over Xu Liangyuan and landed on Shen Chuwei, just in time to see her greeting her pet, with crooked eyebrows and a sweet smile.
Compared with the way other women smile, it is pure and pleasing to the eye.
Shen Chuwei looked at the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas in front of her and felt a little greedy. On the way here, Chunxi had warned her not to eat until His Highness the Crown Prince moved his chopsticks first, so she had to endure it for now.
Xiao Jinyan looked away and said, "You are also hungry. Let's have dinner."
Even though he said that, he was still waiting for the prince to move his chopsticks first.
When Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan eating a piece of diced meat, she immediately picked up her chopsticks to eat. Chun Xi poked her arm, and she immediately understood what Chun Xi meant.
She opened the lid, picked up the tomato scrambled eggs inside and placed it in front of Xiao Jinyan. She said with a smile: "Your Highness, I brought the tomato scrambled eggs. Do you want to try them?"
Xu Liangyuan glanced at the tomato scrambled eggs with a look of disgust.
Are you too embarrassed to show this kind of thing to compete for favor?
If your highness can eat this kind of thing, I will take your last name.
Xiao Jinyan raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I'll give it a try."
"Okay." Shen Chuwei happily placed the tomato scrambled eggs in front of Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan stared at the tomato scrambled egg in front of him. He had never seen it before. Even so, he took a piece of tomato scrambled egg with silver chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.
Xiao Jinyan was born in an imperial family. He looks elegant, dignified, and very good-looking.
Shen Chuwei waited for him to eat before asking: "Your Highness, is it delicious?"
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes and saw Shen Chuwei with an expectant look on his face. He nodded, "It tastes good, and you'll be rewarded."
Shen Chu's eyebrows slightly arched, and he would be rewarded if he took one bite of tomato scrambled eggs. This was easier than fighting for favor.
She stood up and blessed herself, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
Xiao Jinyan: "No courtesy, let's continue eating."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Chuwei sat back on the round stool, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. There were many foods on the table that she loved, such as lion head, braised pork ribs...
Xu Liangyuan watched Shen Fengyi wink at His Highness, and the hand under the table clutched the handkerchief tightly.
Even after dinner, he tried his best to seduce His Highness, shameless!
Xiao Jinyan's originally unhappy mood instantly became much happier, and he ate his dinner slowly.
Eunuch Ren walked in with the young eunuch. He bowed first, then picked up the wine from the tray and put it on the dining table. "Your Highness, this is the wine sent by the Queen to add to the fun."
Xiao Jinyan glanced at the wine bottle on the table and ordered: "Please fill it up for me."
"Here." Eunuch Liu picked up the wine pot and filled the wine glass in front of His Highness.
Xiao Jinyan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp in front of Eunuch Ren.
"Your Highness, this servant is retiring." Eunuch Ren then left with a smile.
Seeing that the wine glass was empty, Xu Liangyuan stood up and picked up the wine bottle with a smile, "Your Highness, I will fill it up for you."
Xiao Jinyan ignored it. He looked at Shen Chuwei and saw her lowering her head and chewing on the ribs. Her mouth was obviously so small. In just a short time, she ate five pieces of ribs.
I also secretly put a piece of snow dough in it~
Xuetuan never eats food fed by others, but it will eat the food fed by Shen Chuwei.
Xu Liangyuan sat down and saw Shen Fengyi lowering her head to gnaw on the ribs, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes. She put a piece of vegetarian food into her mouth, took a small bite, and chewed it carefully.
She raised her head to look at the prince, then diligently picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of venison and put it on the plate in front of His Highness, "Your Highness, please try the venison."
Xiao Jinyan glanced at the glass of wine in front of him, venison, and said lightly: "I don't like venison."
Xu Liangyuan's face froze, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart, what is the kitchen for? Knowing that the prince doesn't like venison, they still prepare venison to make her look bad?
"Then I'll pick up other dishes for you." Xu Liangyuan stood up and picked up the chopsticks to continue picking up.
Xiao Jinyan refused coldly: "No."
Xu Liangyuan was embarrassed and a little unwilling, she said softly: "Then I'll pour you wine."
She picked up the wine pot and was about to pour the wine, but found that the wine glass was full, and the prince didn't drink just now.
Shen Chuwei had almost finished eating the ribs and lion head in front of her, and the bones next to it were piled up into a small mountain. She looked up at the venison. Because it was a little far away, she stood up with chopsticks and picked up a piece of venison and immediately sat down and continued to gnaw, without noticing that the atmosphere was once awkward.
Chunxi was so embarrassed that she wanted to scratch the wall. My lady, don't just eat, you should also learn from Xu Liangyuan.
Xu Liangyuan sat down awkwardly. Seeing Shen Fengyi eating happily, she felt a little unhappy.
"Sister, don't just focus on eating. Are you going to toast His Highness?"
Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, and asked carefully: "Your Highness, I can't drink much. Can I not drink?"
She gets drunk easily. I heard from her friends that she is not a good drinker. If she gets drunk and annoys His Highness, she will be the one who suffers.
It's better not to drink.
Xiao Jinyan said: "Okay."
Shen Chuwei breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and put another piece of venison into the bowl.
Xu Liangyuan rolled her eyes. She knew that she was pretending to be pitiful to win His Highness' sympathy. Shameless.
"Since Xu Liangyuan loves to drink," Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Eunuch Liu, fill Xu Liangyuan's glass."
