Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 273 Mu Yin Sets a Trap

This was said for the people outside to hear. Shen Muyin nodded and said nothing. When Huixiang saw Shen Muyin coming out, she stood up immediately.

"Let's go." Shen Muyin looked at Fennel and nodded.

Fennel didn't hesitate.

Shen Muyin didn't tell Fennel so much because it was for Fennel's own good. She thought that if something happened one day, Fennel could clear herself of the blame.

As the two of them walked towards the door, they happened to see Shen Zhenzhen coming in.

Shen Muyin was calm, and Shopkeeper Wang appeared to be expressionless, but Hui Xiang suddenly became nervous.

After all, in Fennel's opinion, nothing good would come of Shen Zhenzhen's appearance. In this situation, Fennel seemed much more cautious.

"Sister, are you here too?" Shen Zhenzhen walked towards Shen Muyin with a smile on her face.

Her eyes fell on Shen Muyin, but they were filled with jealousy, but she hid this jealousy very well.

Both are daughters of the prefect of Beijing, but Shen Muyin is completely different from herself.

Shen Muyin had the snow forge that she couldn't get.

Not to mention, although Shen Muyin rarely uses her gold, silver and jewelry, anyone with a discerning eye knows that each piece is priceless.

It was given by the Eastern Palace, as well as rewards from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

This made Shen Zhenzhen so jealous that she was unrecognizable.

But in Shen Zhenzhen's view, everything Shen Muyin has should originally belong to him.

Shen Muyin, this crude girl from the country, is not worthy at all, but that is not the fact.

Even now, in this embroidery room, you have to know that those who come here are the princes and sons of the palace, and very few of the young ladies from Kyoto can come in.

Shen Zhenzhen had to use a lot of connections to make an appointment with Shopkeeper Wang today to have a ruqun tailor-made for her.

You know, just because you have an appointment doesn't mean the skirt will be made.

Shen Zhenzhen seems calm and composed on the surface, but anyone who knows her knows that she strives to be the best in everything.

These rich daughters in Kyoto have it, so how could she not have it?

What's more, the Ghost Festival is coming soon, and it's time to compete with each other for splendor.

What these rich young ladies like is not what Shen Zhenzhen likes. She wants that person to look at her with admiration.

Perhaps it was because they had been together for too long, the initial calmness had turned into the current greed, which was devouring Shen Zhenzhen bit by bit.

She didn't want to be in the dark anymore.

She must surprise that person.

Shen Muyin smiled faintly: "Yes, Zhenzhen is here too?"

"A few days ago, I heard that my sister was not feeling well, so I wanted to go see her, but was stopped by the servant at the door of Wenxiang Pavilion, who said it was my sister's idea." Shen Zhenzhen said coquettishly.

"I feel a little cold. Maybe I'm not used to the autumn yet." Shen Muyin said calmly, still smiling.

But this kind of smile does not reach his eyes.

"Sister, are you here to make clothes too?" Shen Zhenzhen asked tentatively.

Shen Muyin just looked at Shen Zhenzhen, and Shopkeeper Wang took the initiative to say, "Second Miss Shen, this is what the Eastern Palace wanted. The Eastern Palace sent a batch of snow satin to the store, and asked Miss Shen to come and choose it herself. I dare not stop you."

Shen Muyin didn't want to reply to Shen Zhenzhen because he didn't want to give Shen Zhenzhen any chance to cause trouble for him.

But Manager Wang could have said this directly.

The words between the lines clearly told Shen Zhenzhen not to compare herself with Shen Muyin, as they were incomparable.

And Manager Wang pushed all the blame onto Donggong.

Because he was certain that Shen Zhenzhen would not dare to go to the East Palace to make trouble.

What's more, what Manager Wang said was not false. It was indeed the Eastern Palace that sent the snow satin, and this snow satin was only for Shen Muyin to use.

As expected, Shopkeeper Wang's words made Shen Zhenzhen's face change instantly, but soon, she forced a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good to my sister."

"Yeah." Shen Muyin nodded, "If there's nothing else, I won't disturb Zhenzhen from choosing materials."

After saying that, Shen Muyin didn't plan to stay here for even a second and turned around to leave.

It was a physical and psychological resistance, and he didn't want to get close to Shen Zhenzhen at all.

Fennel was also anxious to catch up and didn't want to stay here for long.

But Shen Zhenzhen suddenly said, "Sister, can I choose the same as you?"

Shen Zhenzhen knew that what Donggong gave to Shen Muyin must be the best, so as long as she was the same as Shen Muyin, she would win among these rich girls.

Outside, Shen Zhenzhen thought that Shen Muyin would not reject her, after all, Shen Muyin also had to save face.

Shen Zhenzhen said this clearly. If Shen Muyin rejected her, outsiders would think that Shen Muyin was difficult to get along with.

Combined with Su'er's incident, it will only confirm Shen Muyin's guilt.

Therefore, Shen Zhenzhen's words were still somewhat certain.

Her voice was not soft, and the people around her could hear it clearly.

Not to mention, they are now at the door of the embroidery room, and there are people coming and going.

Everyone here is familiar with Kyoto, so naturally, everyone is watching the fun.

Shen Muyin heard it and smiled lightly. Manager Wang stood there quietly and did not speak.

"Zhenzhen wants to choose the same thing as me?" Shen Muyin asked Shen Zhenzhen indifferently.

Shen Zhenzhen nodded, very obediently: "Yes."

Shen Muyin smiled faintly at Shen Zhenzhen, but this smile made Shen Zhenzhen feel creepy. He felt that something bad was going to happen.

"If Zhenzhen likes it, then it's the same." Shen Muyin suddenly became very generous.

Such generosity put Shen Zhenzhen in a dilemma.

She wanted to embarrass Shen Muyin, but also wanted to get what Shen Muyin had.

But now, Shen Muyin suddenly became so generous, and Shen Zhenzhen seemed to realize that something was wrong.

Now, Shen Zhenzhen wanted to speak, but it was too late.

Shopkeeper Wang stepped forward and said, "Second Miss Shen, since Miss Shen is willing, I will do it exactly the same as Miss Shen did."

Shen Zhenzhen stuttered: "Sister...what did sister choose...what kind of thing?"

"It's like this. The eldest lady didn't choose it. It was an order from His Highness." Shopkeeper Wang had a blank expression. "His Highness sent white snow satin, with a plain face, and asked not to use any patterns. Because the Ghost Festival is coming soon, we must wear simple clothes to worship our ancestors and guard their graves for a month. We can only leave after this month is over and it is late autumn."

Shen Zhenzhen was stunned. This was totally unexpected.

She thought that the silks and satins sent by the Eastern Palace were of the highest quality and were for dressing up Shen Muyin for the Ghost Festival.

But I didn't expect that the result would be like this -

The State of Yan did have a practice of ancestor sacrifice, in which people wore white clothes. Those who made mistakes were punished by kneeling before the ancestors.

If this gets out, there will be no way to clear up any doubt.

"His Highness asked Miss Shen to wear it, so she came today." Shopkeeper Wang finished his words.
