The evening meal was very sumptuous, and because Chun Xi wanted to eat dumplings, she had prepared some.
Shen Chuwei poured herself some vinegar and looked up at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, would you like some vinegar?"
Xiao Jinyan glanced at the big bottle of vinegar in Shen Chuwei's hand and thought of what she had said about jealousy yesterday.
"I don't eat vinegar."
"Your Highness may not know, the correct way to eat dumplings is to dip them in vinegar," Shen Chuwei said, capping the bottle and setting it aside.
Xiao Jinyan watched her dip a dumpling into vinegar before bringing it to her mouth and taking a bite, eating with such relish that he could smell the sourness of the vinegar.
He didn't mention the emperor's instruction for Lu Zhaoyan to calculate the auspicious time to marry Princess Xueyan, not wanting to ruin the warmth of the moment.
Having eaten her fill, Shen Chuwei contentedly wiped her mouth.
