Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 269 Wait for My Return

Now that Nangong Sheng explained it this way, she was naturally happy. After all, this man always had her in his heart.

"Brother Sheng, I like you the most." Xuan Sujin snorted.

"Just like it?" Nangong Sheng asked calmly.

Xuan Sujin was a little puzzled: "Isn't liking you enough?"

Nangong Sheng did not answer Xuan Sujin's question and naturally changed the subject.

Xuan Sujin didn't think much about it and continued chatting with Nangong Sheng until the carriage returned to Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Nangong Sheng calmed down again and sent Xuan Sujin back to Nanyuan. After the two of them were affectionate for a while, Nangong Sheng left.

Xuan Sujin watched Nangong Sheng leave quietly without saying anything.

She felt that she was not as happy as she thought, especially after she saw Lu Nanhuai tonight.

But this person was extremely indifferent to him and at most just nodded in agreement.

They didn't even say a word the whole night.

This feeling made Xuan Sujin feel suffocated.

During this period of time, she actually kept thinking about that casual yet unbridled kiss in the paddock.

She could feel that Lu Nanhuai treated her differently.

Just like when they were children, Xuan Sujin actually hid her love for Lu Nanhuai, but it ended up in nothing.

Perhaps it was this man's indifference that made Xuan Sujin keep retreating.

It was also because of Nangong Sheng's appearance at that time, his gentleness and considerateness, that made her surrender easily.

What he couldn't get from Lu Nanhuai, he got from Nangong Sheng.

So she transferred her emotions, and for a long time, she felt that she had succeeded.

But now it seems like a failure.

Whenever Xuan Sujin thought of the kiss in the hunting ground, her face would blush.

In the end, she became a little annoyed, and silently couldn't get over it with herself.

The reason why Xuan Sujin went to Wangxiang Tower tonight was not only because of Nangong Sheng's request, but also because she knew that Lu Nanhuai and Donggong would be there.

As a result, this person was clearly there, but they never met him, as if he was deliberately avoiding them.

Such thoughts made her even quieter.

Nangong Sheng saw the changes in Xuan Sujin, his eyes did not change at all, but deep in his eyes, he had hidden a hint of gloom.

He doesn't like accidents happening with things that are under his control.

What he wants is a woman who is devoted to him without any resistance.

Xuan Sujin has always been like this, but after that hunting trip, many things seemed to have become inadvertently different.

"Why aren't you talking?" Nangong Sheng asked in a low voice, his voice still gentle.

Xuan Sujin then looked up at Nangong and said seriously, "I was thinking about Brother Sheng's question. Isn't liking the same as loving?"

I don't know if he is pretending to understand or really doesn't understand.

Nangong Sheng smiled softly: "Okay."

"Then does Brother Sheng love me?" Xuan Sujin turned the topic to Nangong Sheng.

Nangong Sheng said without hesitation: "I love you. If you don't love me, I won't have to wait for you to nod and agree to marry me."

The issue of the wedding was inadvertently brought up again by Nangong Sheng.

Before, after being in the hunting ground, Xuan Sujin escaped for a while, and Nangong Sheng was considerate enough not to ask.

But he sent someone to make wedding clothes. Naturally, there is some speculation here, but it is also a fact that he is going to marry Xuan Sujin.

But Xuan Sujin seemed to have no idea.

Prince Xuan's Mansion was particularly respectful of Xuan Sujin's opinion, so in this situation, they naturally would not force it, especially since the embroidery room had rejected his order.

The matter was left unresolved.

"Then how about waiting a little longer, until after the Ghost Festival? Everyone is too busy now." Xuan Sujin found a reasonable excuse.

The Ghost Festival is as grand as the Lunar New Year, and every household is very busy.

No one would get married at this time.

"Okay." Nangong Sheng nodded.

But his eyes and brows were lowered, revealing deep meaning. He said nothing the whole time, just quiet.

Soon, Nangong Sheng brought Xuan Sujin back to Prince Xuan's Mansion.

He personally sent the person to Xuan Sujin's boudoir before turning around and leaving.

When the personal servant Xiangli came forward, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Princess, you and your husband have a really good relationship."

Although Nangong Sheng was not yet the consort of Prince Xuan's mansion, the servants below all addressed him that way and everyone was used to it.

"That's not good." Xuan Sujin responded.

Xiangli couldn't help but ask, "When will the princess marry her husband?"

"Okay, now even you are asking me this kind of question." Xuan Sujin pretended to be angry, "Tell me, who asked you to come!"

Xiangli said seriously: "Many people asked me to ask. After all, the princess is already sixteen this year. If she turns seventeen, it will be bad."

"Okay, okay, let's tie the knot." Xuan Sujin was joking.

Xiangli really took note of it, and then Xiangli made the bed for Xuan Sujin, helped her bathe and change clothes, and then left quietly.

The boudoir suddenly became quiet.

The whole of Kyoto was silent.

……

At the same time, the Eastern Palace sent Shen Muyin to the prefect of Beijing.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to my place?" Qin Chuyan asked Shen Muyin with a frown.

Shen Muyin shook his head and refused calmly: "Don't be too high-profile. I don't want the Shen family to cause trouble for me."

When Shen Muyin said no, he really meant no, and it was definitely not any kind of playing hard to get.

So in this case, Qin Chuyan nodded and didn't force it: "You rest in the mansion these few days, and I will take you out for a walk on the Zhongyuan Festival."

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded.

But her heart was still beating a little fast. The people who can go out with you during the Zhongyuan Festival are either your family or your lover.

Qin Chuyan belongs to the latter.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin's eyebrows curved and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Soon, Shen Muyin nodded and stood up to get out of the car, but Qin Chuyan's hand was faster and grabbed Shen Muyin's wrist.

Shen Muyin turned his head inexplicably and just looked at Qin Chuyan, not knowing what this man was going to do.

But in this man's eyes, Shen Muyin suddenly smiled.

"Are you leaving just like that?" Qin Chuyan asked frankly.

Shen Muyin laughed softly: "Got it."

"Know what?" Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin calmly.

Shen Muyin sighed silently, and then kissed Qin Chuyan on the thin lips, very lightly, but seductive enough.

Her red lips were pressed against Qin Chuyan's ear, and she said word by word: "Is this okay?"

Qin Chuyan's Adam's apple rolled and his eyes darkened.

After a long while, he grabbed Shen Muyin's hand and said, "Before I lead the troops to the battle, I must tell my father to settle you down, so that you won't run away."

Since she is the future Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, no one will have any plans against her.

"I'll let you live in the East Palace and wait for my return." Qin Chuyan said bluntly.
