Chapter 23
Shen Chuwei saw that they didn't believe it and they were not talking, so she lowered her head and continued to stare at the pigeon.

The atmosphere fell into embarrassment for a while.

Chunxi brings tea and puts it in front of them, then steps aside.

Tao Chenghui saw Shen Chu's slightly pale face and thought of the Luo Zidai he had brought, with a flattering smile on the corner of his lips: "Sister Shen, last time I saw your brows and eye make-up were too quiet, I specially brought good things this time."

Shen Chuwei subconsciously thought it was delicious, and looked at Tao Chenghui's hand expectantly.

Tao Chenghui took a small box from Ding Xiang and put it in front of him.

The box is exquisite and small, with dark lines on the dark red surface, it is not edible at a glance.

It's beautiful, but it's a pity that it can't be eaten.

Shen Chu lowered his head in disappointment, and when he saw the pigeon, he began to look forward to it again.

Tao Chenghui didn't notice the disappointment in Shen Chu's eyes, and introduced with a smile: "Sister Shen, this is a snail that my natal family brought in a few days ago. Although it is not as precious as the one used by the empress, it is also a rare treasure. "

Tao Chenghui's father was a well-known wealthy businessman. He traveled all over the world and saw many treasures. There are also many treasures in the palace, such as this rare Luo Zidai.

Even Tao Chenghui's entry into the palace was the back door through which her wealthy businessman father spent a lot of money.

Shen Chuwei wears no makeup every day because she can have breakfast directly after washing up in the morning. Make-up is too time-consuming, which affects her breakfast.

"Thank you sister Tao for your kindness."

Tao Chenghui didn't care about Shen Chuwei's lukewarm tone, as long as he could see His Highness was the most important thing.

Shen Chuwei's attitude made Xu Chenghui even more convinced that His Highness is in Xiyun Pavilion, and the reason why he said he was not there must be because he was afraid that they would come and snatch His Highness away.

Fortunately, she had prepared a gift, but she didn't expect Tao Chenghui to take the lead, and she was not far behind, and took a piece of cloth from Taohua's hand and put it on the table.

"Sister Shen, this is the Shu brocade from the south of the Yangtze River. It can be made into clothes, which is very suitable for my sister to wear."

This Shu brocade was given to her by Chang Liangdi, because the color was too quiet, she didn't like it, so she borrowed flowers to offer it to Shen Fengyi.

Shen Chu took a slight look at the Shu brocade on the table, and was not very interested, "Thank you sister Xu for the gift."

Xu Chenghui was displeased with Shen Chuwei's indifference, and it showed on his face, looking into the door from time to time, wishing he could go in and have a look.

Tao Chenghui's attention was also in the room, thinking of His Highness coming out, she raised her hand to support her temples, and checked the position of the embroidery, so that His Highness could see her first when he came out.

She just waited and waited and couldn't see His Highness coming out of the back room, and felt strange. She looked at Shen Chuwei, saw her bowing her head to roast the pigeon, and the scent wafted over, she couldn't help but licked her lips, it smelled so good.

Shen Chuwei saw that the pigeon was golden and oily, so she knew it was ready, so she took the pigeon down and put it on a plate.

Xue Tuan couldn't wait to jump on the table, bent down, stared at the pigeon, and shrugged her pink nose.

Shen Chuwei saw it and reminded: "You can't eat it yet, it's very hot."

Xu Chenghui couldn't sit still anymore, she looked back and saw Xue Tuan staring at the pigeons on the table, and cast a disdainful glance at Shen Chuwei. In order to win favor, she really took pains to roast pigeons to please Xue Tuan?
She had an idea, and said courteously: "Xuetuan, let me separate the pigeons for you, so that it will be easier to eat."

If His Highness came out and saw her treat Xue Tuan with such care, he would definitely look at her with admiration.

As soon as Xu Chenghui reached out his hand, Shen Chuwei hurriedly used both hands to protect the roasted pigeon in front of him, "Don't touch my roasted pigeon."

Xu Chenghui's hand paused awkwardly in mid-air, and she withdrew it awkwardly, "Sister, you misunderstood, I must be tired seeing you roasting for so long, I just help you share it."

Shen Chu smiled politely: "Thank you, I'm not tired."

Xu Chenghui held up a handkerchief to cover up his embarrassment, wasn't he afraid that I would take credit for it?Really, who cares?
Chunxi suppressed a smile and cleaned up the oven.

Tao Chenghui guessed Xu Chenghui's purpose and held up a handkerchief and laughed.

After Shen Chuwei waited for the pigeon to cool down a little, she put on her gloves, picked up the pigeon, and put it in front of Xuetuan, breaking off the whole thing from the neck up to the legs, and said with a smile: "Xuetuan, you can eat it."

"Take a look." Xuetuan didn't dislike it, and lowered her head and started to eat.

Xu Chenghui couldn't stand it anymore, "Sister Shen, why are you feeding the pigeon head and feet to Xuetuan? There's no meat at all."

Shen Chuwei was about to start eating. Hearing this, she thought that the pigeon was caught by Xue Tuan, and it seemed a bit uninteresting to give the pigeon only its head and feet.

"Sister Xu has something to say."

She smiled, broke off the two wings and placed them in front of Xuetuan, then handed the whole pigeon to her mouth and took a bite. The taste was crispy, the meat was tender and delicious.

Xu Chenghui looked at the two wings in front of Xuetuan, and Shen Chuwei eating with relish, he was dumbfounded, she actually gave the leftovers to His Highness's pet?
Seeing how delicious Shen Chuwei's food was, Tao Chenghui licked his lips subconsciously, it seemed to be more delicious than the one made by the imperial dining room.

After Shen Chuwei finished eating the roasted squab, she took off her gloves, Chunxi handed over a wet towel, and she wiped her mouth with the wet towel contentedly.

Xu Tao and the others glanced at the bone on the table, then at the snow ball, and found that it jumped off the table after washing its mouth~

The two looked at each other and finally found a problem, that is, His Highness might really not be here.

Xu Chenghui thought that His Highness was not here, so he had no reason to stay any longer.

"Sister Shen, I'll go back first if I have something to do. Remember to come to Yilan Pavilion when you have time."

Shen Chuwei was about to sleep for a while, when he heard that Xu Chenghui was leaving, he nodded happily, and whether he would go to Yilan Pavilion or not would be discussed later.

After Xu Chenghui waved his handkerchief and left, Tao Chenghui drank his tea and showed no intention of leaving.

Shen Chuwei took out the brown sugar melon seeds and was about to eat them. When she saw Tao Chenghui, she asked politely, "Sister Tao, do you want to eat melon seeds?"

Tao Chenghui was worrying that he had no topic to talk about. He Shenchu ​​chatted on Weibo to get closer, when he heard about eating melon seeds, he agreed without thinking.

"Okay."

Shen Chuwei took some melon seeds for Tao Chenghui.

Tao Chenghui was bored and ate a few melon seeds to cover up his embarrassment, but he found that the melon seeds were delicious, so he couldn't stop eating.

Xu Chenghui left the Xiyun Pavilion, and turned around to find that Tao Chenghui didn't come out, the corners of her lips curled into a sneer, did she really think that she could see His Highness if she stayed with a straight face?It's just a waste of time.

She withdrew her gaze and returned to Yilan Pavilion with her slender waist twisted.

Just as Xu Chenghui left, Eunuch Liu led people to Xiyun Pavilion.

Chunxi saw Eunuch Liu from a distance, and rushed to meet him, "Eunuch Liu, what's the matter here at this hour?"

"I have something important to do." Eunuch Liu walked up to Shen Chuwei with a smile, "Master Shen, His Highness will come over to have dinner tonight, and you can just go to the imperial dining room to get any ingredients you want."

The implication is to cook something delicious for His Highness.
