Shen Chuwei tightly held Xiao Jinyan’s hand, her tone extremely serious as she said, "Of course, if not now, could it be tomorrow?"

The most important thing right now was to divert attention. After being embraced, she could then continue to change the subject. With a question here and an answer there, perhaps he would forget about the painting.

Xiao Jinyan was seldom so proactive, and before Xiao Jinyan could even become happy, how could he refuse?

"This palace will do as you wish."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei openly spread her arms, waiting for Xiao Jinyan to embrace her, so she could deliver her next lines.

On the surface, Xiao Jinyan appeared calm and composed, but his heart was bursting with excitement. He bent down to lift Chuwei in a side embrace and turned to walk toward the bed behind the screen.

The sudden princess carry made Shen Chuwei freeze for a moment. ...A princess carry would do as well.

Her two hands, which hung in the air, silently moved to wrap around Xiao Jinyan’s neck as she stared at him without blinking.

"Your Highness, am I heavy?"

To Xiao Jinyan, Shen Chuwei’s gaze was filled with deep affection. "Not heavy, you seem lighter than before."

Shen Chuwei was secretly glad their marital rapport had significantly improved, Xiao Jinyan knew how to follow her lead in conversation.

"It seems I’ll need to eat more every day, can’t let Your Highness find me undesirable."

Xiao Jinyan asked with confusion, "Why would this palace find you undesirable?"

Shen Chuwei explained, "Didn’t Your Highness say you liked me to be curvy? If I get thinner, there won’t be any curves left."

Every time in bed, Xiao Jinyan would praise her for her slender waist, saying it seemed as if one hand could snap it in half.

While holding her, he would also say she was too thin and that it would be better if she were plumper, for a more sensuous feel.

Hearing this, Xiao Jinyan’s gaze moved from her face downward, appraising her inch by inch. He was more than familiar with Chuwei’s figure; although she was light, the flesh was in all the right places, with a waist that was slender and soft to the touch.

Of course, if she was a bit more rounded, the feel would be even better.

"This palace does not find you undesirable, you are good however you are."

However, Shen Chuwei said, "Your Highness speaks sweetly now, who knows about the future."

"This palace is not given to empty flattery." Xiao Jinyan held her in his arms and came to the edge of the bed, easily untying her waistband with his hand.

At this moment, Shen Chuwei realized the atmosphere was becoming somewhat amorous. Xiao Jinyan was all too familiar with that particular intention—wanting to have his way with her in this manner.

In broad daylight...

"Chuwei."

Shen Chuwei raised her head and found Xiao Jinyan gazing down at her, but his hand showed no sign of stopping.

Having been husband and wife for so long, Xiao Jinyan understood her body too well, and was even clearer about her sensitive spots.

He could easily stir her passion.

Outside the study room,

Lady Liangyuan, along with a maid holding a sobering soup, approached the Study Room but was stopped by Liu Xi.

Lady Liangyuan pointed to the sobering soup Huai Xiang was holding and said, "Today is the Crown Prince’s first birthday celebration, and I saw that Your Highness had quite a bit to drink, so I brought over some sobering soup.

It won’t take much time, please kindly ask Liu Gonggong to announce my presence. "

Liu Xi glanced at the sobering soup Huai Xiang was holding and replied with a benevolent face, "The Crown Princess is inside right now, and His Highness and the Crown Princess are very affectionate with each other. It’s not appropriate for Lady Liangyuan to disturb them at this time."
