Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 129: Holding in the Palm

Qin Chuyan just looked at Shen Muyin without blinking.

Seeing Shen Muyin's heartbeat getting faster and faster, this panic made Shen Muyin feel a little numb.

Just when she couldn't hold it anymore, the voice of the secret guard came from outside: "Your Highness, Lord Lu wants you to come over."

Qin Chuyan nodded, and the secret guard disappeared silently. When Shen Muyin thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, this man took Shen Muyin away directly.

Shen Muyin was stunned for a moment, looking at Qin Chuyan in disbelief: "Your Highness, Lord Lu is looking for you, what are you doing with me?"

Qin Chuyan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Shen Muyin, so he just took Shen Muyin's hand and walked out of the tent.

Shen Muyin's heart was pounding. The more she couldn't guess, the more frightened she felt, but she could only pretend to be calm on the surface.

It was not until Shen Muyin was pulled out of the tent by Qin Chuyan that he realized that they were not inside the enclosure, but were heading outside the enclosure.

Shen Muyin didn't dare to ask more questions and just stood there quietly.

Shen Muyin became quiet for a moment until the two of them walked out of the tent, because she saw Princess Pingxi, Qiao Suwan.

Almost instinctively, Shen Muyin wanted to struggle her hand out of Qin Chuyan's hand. This feeling was like the embarrassment of being caught by her mother while she was still unmarried and having fun with another man.

Even though Qiao Suwan didn't know at all, she was the lost daughter of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion.

It just so happened that Zhan Yanxiao was standing next to Qiao Suwan. It was obvious that Qiao Suwan was not feeling well, so Zhan Yanxiao took Qiao Suwan back to the tent first.

So almost at the moment Shen Muyin pulled his hand away, Qin Chuyan's eyes became gloomy.

It felt like Shen Muyin didn't want Zhan Yanxiao to see the relationship between her and herself.

Heh... After flirting with him, you still want to get rid of the relationship? Dream on.

Besides, Zhan Yanxiao is only a few years old and not yet of marriageable age. Is Shen Muyin thinking of an old cow eating young grass? Dream on!

So the more Shen Muyin struggled, the tighter Zhan Yanxiao held her.

Under such circumstances, Shen Muyin couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He frowned and looked at Qin Chuyan. Qin Chuyan sneered and spoke rudely.

"Zhan Yanxiao is only 15 this year. He is not old enough to get married. Don't dream about it." Qin Chuyan said it clearly.

Shen Muyin was stunned for a moment before he realized what Qin Chuyan meant. This person might have misunderstood.

She sighed, but didn't know how to explain such a thing.

Finally, Shen Muyin said tactfully: "Your Highness has misunderstood. It is not what you think."

"So what?" Qin Chuyan asked aggressively.

"It's just that I'm not married yet, and if someone sees me holding hands with Your Highness, there will inevitably be gossip. It doesn't matter if it affects me, but it would be bad if it affects Your Highness." Shen Muyin said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Oh, how amazing.

It was obvious that I was unhappy, but this crime could be put on him, and I was still afraid that he would be affected.

Qin Chuyan lowered his brows and looked at Shen Muyin, very quietly.

Shen Muyin thought Qin Chuyan had listened to her, but she completely overlooked the fact that this man was a person who did what he wanted.

Qin Chuyan didn't even give face to the emperor in Yan State, so why should he give face to others?

So this person had no intention of letting go of his hand, and just watched Qiao Suwan and Zhan Yanxiao walk up to them.

Zhan Yanxiao greeted Qin Chuyan, but it was Qin Chuyan who called Qiao Suwan. In terms of seniority, Qin Chuyan was the younger generation, but his status was more noble than Qiao Suwan.

But when there were no outsiders around, Qiao Suwan and Zhan Yanxiao did not need to pay their respects, as this was allowed by the emperor.

"If Princess Pingxi is unwell, I will ask the imperial physician to come." Qin Chuyan was direct.

Qiao Suwan didn't speak immediately. She looked at Shen Muyin and Qin Chuyan holding hands, feeling a little surprised.

She had heard of him more or less before, but she had never imagined that this person was Shen Muyin, whom she had just met. Coincidentally, Qiao Suwan had a very good impression of Shen Muyin.

Back then, if the princess of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion was still alive, the emperor once said that he wanted the princess to marry into the Eastern Palace as a crown princess, which could be considered an arranged marriage.

It's just a pity...

Thinking of this, a layer of sadness involuntarily appeared in Qiao Suwan's eyes, but she quickly hid her emotions well.

"No need, I have always been like this. I'm sorry to have made Your Highness worried." Qiao Suwan smiled faintly.

"Okay." Qin Chuyan didn't say much.

But Qiao Suwan's eyes were always on Shen Muyin, which made Qin Chuyan curious.

"Does Princess Pingxi know Mu Yin?" Qin Chuyan asked proactively.

"Miss Shen helped me when I came to the dinner before, so we are acquainted. I owe Miss Shen a favor. If there is a chance, I would like to invite Miss Shen to sit in my tent and chat." Qiao Suwan said directly.

"Once Princess Pingxi has had a good rest, then of course you can." Qin Chuyan said lightly.

His eyes glanced at Shen Muyin imperceptibly, and he was obviously not happy that Shen Muyin did not tell him about this.

Shen Muyin suddenly felt aggrieved when she saw the look in this man's eyes. She couldn't tell Qin Chuyan everything truthfully.

Besides, the Eastern Palace doesn’t have such a requirement.

Princess Pingxi looked at Qin Chuyan and Shen Muyin in silence for a moment before asking, "Your Highness and Miss Shen, what are you doing..."

Shen Muyin was embarrassed for a moment, not knowing how to answer, but Qin Chuyan remained calm: "If there is good news, I will go to the palace to tell the Prince of Pingxi and the Princess in person."

Although this was not stated explicitly, Shen Muyin's identity was made clear.

Shen Muyin was surprised for a moment, and even Qiao Suwan was surprised for a moment, but she soon laughed out loud.

I don't know why, but when I look at Shen Muyin, I always think of my daughter Xiangsi who has been missing for many years. If Xiangsi were still alive, she would be the same age as Shen Muyin.

At this age, she should have married into the Eastern Palace.

Now that she had Shen Muyin, Qiao Suwan felt much more relieved.

"Okay. If that day comes, I will definitely give Miss Shen an additional dowry." Qiao Suwan said directly.

After the voice fell, Qiao Suwan coughed a few times, and Zhan Yanxiao immediately looked at Qiao Suwan: "Mom, I'll ask the imperial physician to come, you go back and rest first, and reminisce when you feel better."

At times like this, Zhan Yanxiao seemed particularly sensible. Qiao Suwan nodded and said nothing, which was considered as her agreement.

Shen Muyin just watched and listened, and his eyes couldn't help but become misty and he felt a sore and swollen feeling.

I never thought that my own mother would say these words to me, even before they knew each other.

This was a touching feeling, and it was also the first time that Shen Muyin was held in someone's palm.

The more this is the case, the more Shen Muyin must protect his family.
