Chapitre 123: Chapter 122: She's Anxious

Shen Chuwei really couldn't endure it this time, she didn't want to be learned in the arts, nor did she want to excel in everything like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She simply wanted to muddle through, eating and drinking.

Xiao Jinyan raised his hand and knocked on her forehead, "What's with your obsession with eating?"

Shen Chuwei explained, "Your highness, food is of paramount importance to the people. Man is like iron, and rice is like steel. Without a meal, I get terribly hungry. This concubine is still young and growing."

Xiao Jinyan, looking at her aggrieved little face, became even bolder.

"Mastering music, chess, calligraphy, and painting won't hinder you from eating and growing."

Shen Chuwei, gripping the hem of her clothes, quietly rebutted, "Your Highness is unaware that too much pressure can also stunt a concubine's growth."

Xiao Jinyan huffed, "What faulty reasoning."
