Spring in the East Palace

Donggong didn't say anything then, and walked out of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion with Shen Muyin by his hand. Neither of them mentioned what had happened before.

Qiao Suwan watched the whole process with a smile on her face.

"This is the first time I have seen someone so suitable for Your Highness." Qiao Suwan looked at Zhan Beifeng, "If Xiangsi was here, I think Xiangsi would be the same."

"Are you sure that Shen Muyin is Xiangsi?" Zhan Beifeng lowered his head and looked at Qiao Suwan.

"It's intuition." Qiao Suwan was very serious, "Not only because she looks like me when I was young, but also because of the feeling of mother-daughter connection."

"Su Wan." Zhan Beifeng called Qiao Su Wan's name seriously, "I don't want to hit you, but I want to say that this Shen family is not simple. His Highness is also investigating, and so far, His Highness has not said anything. I'm afraid that you will be soft-hearted and eventually be deceived. At that time, you will feel even worse."

The Zhan family doesn’t need anyone to utilize their resources.

As long as Shen Muyin is fine, Zhan Beifeng doesn't mind Qiao Suwan adopting Shen Muyin as her adopted daughter.

But if there is something wrong with this Shen Muyin, Zhan Beifeng will never allow her to get close to anyone in the Zhan family.

Zhan Beifeng had seen countless storms and could tell at a glance that Shen Muyin was not simple.

She was able to rise from a mere daughter of a prefect in Beijing to the Eastern Palace, and win the favor of the Queen Mother. Even Qiao Suwan looked at her with admiration.

This was enough to make Zhan Beifeng believe that every step Shen Muyin took had a purpose, but her purpose was not exposed to everyone.

In this situation, Zhan Beifeng didn't really want Qiao Suwan and Shen Muyin to get close, as he was afraid something might happen.

But since Qiao Suwan likes it, Zhan Beifeng won't stop her, he will just be more cautious.

Thinking of this, Zhan Beifeng's eyes became even darker.

"No, she is a good girl, my intuition is very accurate." Qiao Suwan looked at Zhan Beifeng with a smile.

Zhan Beifeng didn't say anything, not wanting to have any dispute with Qiao Suwan on this matter.

"Look, otherwise, why would His Highness like her?" Qiao Suwan brought Qin Chuyan out.

Zhan Beifeng didn't understand this either.

Because Zhan Beifeng knew very well that Qin Chuyan had always been suspicious of the Shen family, and now he was suddenly entangled with the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

If something happens in the future, wouldn’t even the Eastern Palace be implicated?

Therefore, Zhan Beifeng only thought that Donggong had his own ideas, which were definitely not as simple as they seemed.

After all, no one can figure out Donggong's thoughts.

"Husband?" Qiao Suwan refused to give up and called Zhan Beifeng's name.

"Let's wait and see." Zhan Beifeng took a step back.

"Okay." Qiao Suwan nodded without arguing.

Sooner or later, we will know who is right and who is wrong. Qiao Suwan has confidence in Shen Muyin.

Then she didn't say anything. Zhan Beifeng took Qiao Suwan's hand and went back into the house. The Pingxi Palace was as quiet as ever.

But during the Ghost Festival this year, the palace was much more lively and no longer so deserted.

……

at the same time.

Qin Chuyan held Shen Muyin's hand and walked onto the streets of Kyoto. Both of them were wearing masks.

Wearing masks during the Ghost Festival is also a tradition, which serves to drive away ghosts.

In Shen Muyin's opinion, wearing a mask to isolate oneself from the prying eyes of the outside world is actually safe.

She is not exclusive.

"It's so lively." Shen Muyin couldn't help but sigh.

She was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and everything she saw was strange to her.

Dong Gong looked down at her with a faint smile in his eyes. Shen Muyin looked less thoughtful than usual and more naive like a young girl.

Compared to the former, he prefers this kind of Shen Muyin.

"What's that called?" Shen Muyin suddenly grabbed Dong Gong's hand and pointed at a small stall not far away.

Qin Chuyan took a look and said, "It's Ma Tuan, a snack in Kyoto, but they don't make it on weekdays. They only make it during the Zhongyuan Festival."

"I want to eat it, can you buy it for me?" Shen Muyin said softly.

"Okay." Qin Chuyan nodded with a smile.

He held Shen Muyin's hand and never let go for a moment.

There were a lot of people in the market, with people coming and going. If you weren't careful, you wouldn't see anyone.

But Shen Muyin's hand has always been in Qin Chuyan's hand, which gives him an unspoken sense of security.

Under such circumstances, Donggong took Shen Muyin to the street vendor and picked out several glutinous rice balls with different flavors for her.

"Here you go." Qin Chuyan handed the glutinous rice ball to Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin took a bite and nodded: "It's really delicious. I never found these little dots before."

Compared to those sweet snacks, Shen Muyin likes small things like glutinous rice balls even more.

Qin Chuyan looked down at Shen Muyin and took a bite: "Is it really so delicious?"

Shen Muyin was stunned for a moment. This action was too intimate. Her ears turned slightly red, but she didn't say anything.

The two of them took turns to eat a glutinous rice ball and finished it all.

"It tastes pretty good." Qin Chuyan commented, "If you like it, I'll have someone bring the stall owner to the East Palace and cook it for you."

"Scarcity makes things valuable. If you can eat it every day, it won't be rare anymore." Shen Muyin responded.

Qin Chuyan lowered his head and chuckled, but said nothing.

Shen Muyin asked a lot of questions out of curiosity, and Qin Chuyan explained them carefully.

The two of them walked along the market, and Qin Chuyan bought any rare items that Shen Muyin liked.

The little thing that Shen Muyin wanted could only be obtained by reciting poems and composing couplets, and Qin Chuyan also accompanied him.

After Shen Muyin got what she liked, the smile in her eyes made Qin Chuyan feel that everything was worth it.

There are also many delicious snacks in the market, and Qin Chuyan will also buy some for Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin's appetite is just so limited, if he eats too much he really can't eat anymore.

She looked at Qin Chuyan aggrievedly: "I can't eat it anymore, but it would be a waste to throw it away, how about you eat it?"

The rice cake was handed to Qin Chuyan. Qin Chuyan smiled silently and lowered his head to take a bite naturally.

Shen Muyin was stunned and felt a little shy.

Qin Chuyan ate the food Shen Muyin handed over calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"Is there anyone else you like?" Qin Chuyan asked in a low voice.

Shen Muyin shook his head: "I've gone around in circles, and it's all over. It won't be fresh after a few days."

"Didn't you want to release sky lanterns before?" Qin Chuyan asked Shen Muyin with a smile.

Shen Muyin said, "But isn't it troublesome to release sky lanterns?"

Sky lanterns are different from river lanterns. When river lanterns are lit and placed into a river, the river water will carry them to the sea.

It means praying for peace and good fortune.

The sky lantern needs to be lit, and with the help of fire, it can be placed in the sky.

It's not something that ordinary people can understand.

Shen Muyin thought secretly that because of the rumors about the Ghost Festival, you wrote the names of the people you will grow old with on the sky lanterns.

In this way, the three lives and three worlds will be bound together and can never be separated.
